Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 619
The heavy snow in winter continued to flutter, and the entire grassland was basically white now. The grassland where Gongsun Xu was located had a little scarlet in a short period of time, but this scarlet was quickly covered up by the university.

Maybe it was because God was merciful to those people who died in the war, and no one came to bury their bodies, so the sky rained thick snow to bury them.Otherwise, within a few days, the wild wolves would find these corpses by smelling the smell, and then dig out these corpses and eat them up.

War will always bring disasters to the people, especially when the battlefield is adjacent to the homes of these people, they are no different from falling into hell.The grassland has always been a big battlefield. Now that the Xianbei and the Huns are going south, this battlefield extends southward. Since there are no people around the Great Wall, the harm caused by the war is still not visible, but the area south of the Great Wall is now dilapidated. .

The Xianbei army of 20 horses crossed the Great Wall and went straight to Yanmen Pass. The defenders of the Great Wall could not resist, and could only watch these prairie cavalry gallop and plunder on the land of northern Xinjiang.As soldiers, these defenders of the Great Wall felt very painful. They failed to protect the people south of the Great Wall.

However, it is not that the defenders of the Great Wall are not brave enough. On the contrary, they have tried their best. They have never flinched in the face of dozens of times the enemy. Whenever the enemy attacks, they always fight back bravely. These defenders use their own His blood and lives were exchanged for the enemy's retreat.

How many children from northern Xinjiang were buried in the grassland, at the foot of the Great Wall.Those who sleep with them are several times, even ten times the corpses of the enemy soldiers.After the aggressors die, they will also rely on this piece of land that does not belong to them, as if they will continue to invade after death.

The defenders of the Great Wall used their flesh and blood to strengthen the Great Wall's defenses, and they maintained this fighting posture until they died.In life, they will not die with the enemy army, and in death, they will continue to entangle with the enemy army. Even if they are ghosts, they will not let the enemy advance half a step.

The outside of Yanmen Pass is now a desolate area. In order to prepare for the enemy's attack, Xi Zhicai ordered to fortify the walls and clear the fields. All the people in the south of the Great Wall and north of Yanmen Pass must move inward, and all houses, food and other materials must be transported away. Or burn it, and what you can't take with you must never be left to the enemy.

However, due to the fierce enemy attack, most of the soldiers in northern Xinjiang were busy defending, and a few people were reluctant to part with their property and land, so they chose to stay. They had little illusions about the enemy's benevolence. In their opinion, Even if the Xianbei army came, they shouldn't be able to drive them all to death. If they couldn't, they could still hide for a while.

It's a pity that these people underestimated the ferocity of the Xianbei army, especially when the Xianbei army's attack was blocked, food and grass were in short supply, and morale was low, they would do some unconscionable things. The invaders always have to use some means To boost their morale and vent their anger.Those people became their targets.

After closing the Yanmen Gate, Zhao Feng stared coldly at the retreating enemy army below. It was getting dark again, and today was regarded as repelling the enemy's attack, but this was not the first time, nor the last time. If the weather is fine tomorrow , the enemy should continue to attack.

"Report to the general, our army has 300 casualties." A school lieutenant reported after counting the losses: "In today's battle, more than [-] enemy troops were killed, but the enemy army has been attacking the city for more than half a month, and our city walls have suffered some damage. Do you want to summon the peasants to build the city wall?"

"No need." Zhao Feng shook his head and said: "The military commander has an order to collect the corpses of the enemy soldiers, pour them with snow water, and take advantage of the cold weather to directly use them to build the city wall. Now that the weather is so cold, it would be a waste to fetch soil and burn bricks." manpower."

"Ah, use the corpses of the enemy army?" The captain said in surprise: "This, isn't this too,,,,,,"

"Don't use the corpses of the enemy, why use the corpses of the brothers?" Zhao Feng said angrily, "If we can't hold the Yanmen Pass, do you think we can survive? Tell the brothers, from the moment the enemy crosses the Great Wall, we are doomed To keep company with dead bodies.

Didn't the enemy army want to break through my Yanmen Pass?Then let them fill it with corpses, go back to collect feces, and prepare gold soup. It will definitely be needed for defending the city tomorrow. If they can't collect enough feces, add some mutilated enemy corpses and return them to the enemy tomorrow. The army is. "

"This,,,,,," the lieutenant's face turned pale after hearing this, but he still firmly clasped his hands and replied: "The general will do it now."

"My lord, the last general will definitely do his best." Zhao Feng looked at the northern sky and said to himself: "Too many old brothers have died here, if the Yanmen can't keep it, the last general will stay here .

Alas, Zhao Feng is incompetent for those people who have not migrated here. He can only watch you suffer the ravages of the Xianbei enemy. Zhao Feng is incompetent.My lord, when will you come back, the last general is short of reinforcements now,,,,,,"

Yanmen Pass is still impenetrable, there is no way, since Gongsun Xu took over Bingzhou, he has not relaxed the management of Yanmen Pass. When Ding Yuan was in the hands earlier, Yanmen Pass was an important barrier against the enemy forces on the grassland.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao once stationed here and resisted the grassland cavalry. Later, Guan Ping took over. He followed Gongsun Xu's order to strengthen the city wall and build fortifications. Then Meng Fu stationed at Yanmen Pass. He also continued to strengthen the defense of Yanmen. After Meng Fu was transferred to the Great Wall, Zhao Feng took over the affairs here.

As far as this Zhao Feng is concerned, he is not conspicuous among the talented Northern Border Army. Others know him mostly because he has a famous brother named Zhao Yun.These years, Zhao Feng has been in charge of logistics work, and rarely has the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

But this does not mean that Zhao Feng is incapable. On the contrary, he has done a good job in the logistics work he has undertaken these years. Moreover, compared to other generals, Zhao Feng's biggest advantage is that he is calm and not greedy for merit.

Of course, in the eyes of others, Zhao Feng may be timid and afraid of death. There is no absolute difference between advantages and disadvantages. Under certain circumstances and conditions, they can definitely be transformed. It is a suitable place, so all the tasks he has accepted over the years have been done well.

Originally, there were other people in the army who were more suitable for the position of guarding the Yanmen Pass, but Xi Zhicai chose him. Other generals may be more capable than Zhao Feng, but they are not as calm and calm as Zhao Feng. Xi Zhicai does things It must have been well thought out, other generals can only obey and must not defy.

Launching an attack in the cold winter is an irrational thing, especially in the case of attacking a strong and powerful pass like Yanmen Pass. If you don't prepare enough and build enough siege equipment, I'm afraid it will take a few months. OK.This is the trouble the Xianbei army is facing now, they can't break through Yanmen Pass.

Fifty miles away from Yanmenguan is the camp of the Xianbei army. These days, the Xianbei army has failed to attack the city one after another, and they are worried that the defenders in the city will attack at night, so they stationed the camp far away. Even if it takes time to march every time they attack the city, at least The security of the camp is guaranteed.

In the Xianbei army camp, in addition to the 20 Xianbei army, there were nearly [-] people who were forcibly plundered. The people within a radius of one hundred miles who had not had time to migrate into the pass were basically arrested. What was captured has become a corpse.

In today's battle, the Xianbei Army dispatched 5000 soldiers, but they still failed to cause any substantial damage to Yanmen Pass, leaving only the corpses of more than 2000 soldiers on their own side, and many wounded.

In Ke Bineng's big tent, the leaders and generals of various ministries are now gathered. Every night they will discuss the military situation together and discuss how to break through the Yanmen Pass.

"Who can tell me, who is the current guard of Yanmen Pass?" Ke Bineng is in a very bad mood now. He thought that he would break Yanmen Pass soon after venturing across the Great Wall, but he didn't expect to spend more than half a month here. point progress.

"Our army has taken a lot of risks by crossing the Great Wall, but now it stops outside Yanmen Pass, everyone, don't you have anything to say?" Ke Bi Neng continued to ask: "Who can tell me how to break through Yanmen Pass?" ?
These days, you indulge your soldiers to plunder the common people in a radius of hundreds of miles. You must have had a good time, and you all have drums in your pockets, right?Do you want to quit the Great Wall now?Otherwise, why is a mere Yanmen Pass blocking our footsteps? Is the enemy army too strong, or are you not fighting hard enough to attack the city?

Don't pretend to be dumb with me at this time, don't you all have loud voices on weekdays?Come and tell me now, who is the general guarding the Yanmen Gate, and what ability does he have to stop my 20 army for half a month? "

Everyone was so yelled at that they didn't dare to speak. Now everyone understands that the leader is in a bad mood. After all, the 20 troops on his side were blocked by the enemy. This is unbearable for anyone. Besides, the Northern Army's strength at Yanmen Pass should not be large. It will definitely not exceed 3 people. If the previous information is not wrong, then the garrison in Yanmen Pass may only be more than 1, and if some civilians are added, it will not exceed [-].

It's unbelievable for everyone to think about it with just such a mobilization of troops to block the 20 cavalry on their side.

"Sir, you are resourceful and resourceful on weekdays, and you are the one who suggested that we cross the Great Wall, so now you should give us some advice." Kebi Neng looked at the man in black and said, "I have always admired Mr.'s talent, and I hope Mr. Do not disappoint me."

"It is indeed my strength to make suggestions." The man in black sneered, "But if you don't work hard yourself, do you have to blame me? I said a long time ago that after crossing the Great Wall, you will go straight to Yanmen Pass, but you don't believe me, so you have to go to the Yanmen Pass first." Take a day off.

As a result, most of the sergeants went out to plunder during this rest, and they failed to recover their soldiers and horses within two days.This gives the enemy enough time to deploy their defenses.Now do you know how powerful the enemy army is?

Hehe, there are countless food, grass, and military equipment in Yanmen Pass. As long as we send a capable general to guard it, and then give 20 elite soldiers, the tenants can resist the attack of [-] troops. We must have missed the best time for a surprise attack. I'm afraid it will be difficult. "

The atmosphere in the big tent was a little gunpowder, and everyone kept silent, for fear that a word of their own would make some important person unhappy.
