Chapter 1126 Injury

Yang Jun still doesn't know what happened in Guanzhong. After all, as soon as Tongguan was blocked, traffic was cut off. What's more, Shaanxi and Jin were also occupied by General Zhengxi, resulting in some news from Guanzhong and Hedong. Difficulty and lag.

Tongguan is not easy to fight, everyone knows this.

Although it is not as famous as Hangu Pass, it is still a millstone of flesh and blood, absolutely true. If possible, Yang Jun really doesn't want to fight Tongguan, but he has no choice.

Even Yang Biao did.

Yang Biao naturally has no problem with people's livelihood and government affairs. Of course, no one will question Yang Biao in this aspect, but when it comes to war...

Yang Biao has not yet achieved a good record. Even his last victory in Guanzhong Chang'an seemed to be just a foil for Fei Qian, the last general to conquer the West.

Most of the "talking bitches" in Chang'an were talking about this. They said that Yang Gong was not proficient in warfare, so why bother wasting people and money by engaging in military warfare? It was better to use his strengths and manage people's livelihood well.

But without a strong army and soldiers who can intimidate the surrounding areas, what's the point of paying attention to people's livelihood and homeland? In the Zhou Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period, even if the king was fatuous, did the scholar-bureaucrats not care about farming?

Nongsang is important, but you must also have force and achievements to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao!

Tongguan is not easy to fight.

General Zhengxi's troops are also difficult to fight.

But we must fight, and we must win!

Only in this way will the people around you be in awe and truly obey!

There is also a very obscure factor, which is that this year's late spring cold has caused disasters in many areas, but the soldiers originally recruited will not take the initiative to eat less because of the late spring cold to solve Yang Biao's problems. Therefore, if we want to reduce the pressure on food and grass caused by the late spring cold, we must eliminate the bad and retain the good...

Yang Jun looked at the "Han" flag fluttering above Tongguan City, sighed softly, and immediately gave a loud order: "Shesheng Camp, come forward and fire a volley!"

Two thousand archers were divided into four square formations, arranged on the left and right under Tongguan. With a command, the long arrows left the bow strings and flew into the air. The two thousand arrows gathered into a dotted shadow in the air. It's like two thousand blood-sucking insects, screaming and noisy, rushing towards the head of Tongguan City!

Ma Yan shouted: "Raise your shield!" Looking at the arrows coming from the sky, Ma Yan couldn't help but frown. Judging from the density and accuracy of the shooting this time, I'm afraid it's not like he was talking about only peasants and soldiers before. Simple……

The sword and shield bearer held his shield diagonally, blocking the front. The archers who were ready to fight back hid behind the sword and shield bearer, while the pikemen hid behind the battlements to avoid blocking the archers' designed sight.

The arrows streaked across the sky, followed by a "whoosh" sound. Then the long arrow hit the city wall. The sound of "boom boom, puff puff" on the shield was endless, and then the voices of everyone above and below the city gathered together. Together, they formed a huge roar.

This time, the soldiers brought by Yang Jun were obviously more capable than last time. The four archer phalanxes in front, under the cover of the front row of sword and shield soldiers, quickly entered the shooting range of a hundred steps away from the city wall. Within the phalanx, under the command of the captain who was shooting in front of him, and amid the roars of the team leader or the commander, long arrows were quickly shot out one after another, and they flew towards the enemy in batches. In the air, it was as if there was no distance.

Countless long arrows roared rapidly and rushed into the air. Suddenly, the entire sky was filled with long arrows. They were like locusts all over the sky, blocking out the sunlight.

The first unlucky thing above Tongguan was the half-built city gate tower. The wooden structure of the pavilion groaned in pain under the ravage of arrows, and its whole body was trembling. It was damaged beyond recognition by countless sharp arrows. In the blink of an eye, It turned into a hedgehog. Then the flags that were originally flying high on the top of the city also followed in the footsteps of the city gate tower. The colorful flags were either shot off and fell or shot through and broken, including the original big flag with the Chinese character "Han". The torn pieces of cloth were flying, some fell on the city, and some floated to the bottom of the city with the wind...

A worn-out straw sandal full of yellow mud stepped up with a "pop" sound, and stepped on the word "汉" into the mud. Immediately, more people wearing straw sandals or bare feet stepped on it. He came up until the originally exquisite flag surface was trampled and turned into an extremely dirty look.

Yang Jun pointed at a messenger and said loudly: "Come here, please set up a ladder immediately! Attack the city gate!"

As the intensive sound of war drums changed, the archers who were originally approaching in dense formation in front suddenly distanced themselves in rows and made way for the city wall.

"Quick! Quick! Attack!" Cai Guan Xiaowei held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, roaring at the top of his lungs. His army consisted of fifty men. The front and rear sides were covered by shield soldiers, and a dozen soldiers in the middle were bent over and carrying ladders. His mission was to move the ladder to the top of the city as quickly as possible, paving the way for subsequent troops to attack. As for the antfu, it was no longer under his control. His other task was to attack the city gate with the set-up charging vehicle.

Roars suddenly rose into the sky, and thousands of soldiers rushed out of the archer phalanx from the rear and rushed towards the Tongguan city wall covered with arrows.

The captain raised his sword and shouted wildly: "Solley! Cover! Volley!" The arrows became denser again, screaming towards Tongguan.

Ma Yan did feel different this time and felt a little pressure. After all, this was the Han's own army, which was completely different from the peasant soldiers who came for the first time.

Which soldier knows the weaknesses of his own camp best?

Which type of soldiers kills the most brutally?

There is only one answer, and that is our own people.

When the cavalry rushes into the archer line, as long as they are not fools, these archers will definitely run away. No one will take the initiative to hold a long bow and fight the cavalry head-on at close range. Only when the same type of soldiers are equipped with the same configuration, the battle situation is the best. Extremely cruel...

The last time Yang Jun came with his troops, there were not many archers. Ma Yan was able to counterattack between the attacks of the archers. Not only did he not suffer much damage, he also killed many of Yang Jun's soldiers. However, this time it was not possible. The archers divided into four positions, under the command of the professional shooting captain, covered and fired uniformly. The first wave just fell, and the next wave came again, like a wave, endless.

Ma Yan could already see that the shield held in front of him was densely packed with no less than a dozen arrows. This accuracy and strength were not something ordinary soldiers could achieve.

This time, it was obvious that many of the people Yang Jun brought were veterans who had served in the army in the Heluo area for many years.

It’s really putting a lot of pressure on the family...

It's just that Ma Yan's men are also veterans who have experienced many battles.

Veterans have seen death and are used to blood. When facing battle formations, they always appear calmer. Unlike those new recruits, who usually train well, but when it comes to battle, they don't know where to put their hands and feet. The veterans can even huddle behind their shields and ask each other about the situation while arrows are raining down from the sky...

"It's almost your turn, I see the cloud echelon team coming up!"

The sword-shielder held the huge shield diagonally with his shoulders and arms, shielding himself and the archer behind him. He took a few glances through the gaps in the shield, then turned back and spoke to the archer behind him.

The archer bent down, gently pulled the bowstring with his hand, and said amidst the sound of arrows piercing the shield and the wall: "Why are you so anxious? The captain hasn't given the order yet? Besides, charge now." Everyone who comes over is guarded by shield soldiers. Even if they shoot, they won't be able to kill a few of them. It's better to wait until they rush up to the ladder to fix the ladder. At that time, they can't move. Make sure to shoot every one..."

The sword-shielder laughed twice and said, "Okay, it'll be up to you then. Whether we can be more relaxed depends on how many you can kill before they climb up..."

The archer moved the two quivers on his waist to a convenient position. After simulating it twice, he found that there was no obstacle. After hearing the sound of arrows hitting the shield on the city wall, he said, "No. Question...well, there are few arrows. These people must have reached the city...hasn't the captain given the order yet? It's almost..."

The swordsman turned around and said, "Colonel Ma stood up...raised his right arm..."

"Spread the swords and shields, let the archers shoot at will!" Ma Yan shouted loudly.

Amidst the sound of "crash", the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front line blocking the battlement almost took a step to the side at the same time, giving way to the archers' shooting window!

Almost at the same time, the archer stood the bow upright on the small shooting window. Then he shot an arrow instantly without even aiming, and then took out the arrow from the quiver on the side. Winding, drawing the bow, and shooting, a series of actions are completed in an instant, which is dazzling, and the speed is incredible.

"One, two...three, grass, three, four..." the archer muttered, concentrating completely, not caring at all that there were still some scattered arrows whizzing through the air, shooting at the fastest speed. , the long arrows left the city head one by one, and pounced on Yang Jun's soldiers who were preparing to set up a ladder.

It's not that Yang Jun's archers don't want to continue suppressing it, but that at this moment, the archers who shot nearly thirty or forty arrows in a row have exhausted their strength. Many archers lowered their hands and panted violently, and some even The bows could not be held firmly, and some had accidentally scratched their wrists or fingers. Blood flowed down the bows and dripped on the loess.

After the archers fired thirty arrows in a row, they needed to be reconditioned, and this time vacuum was filled by Ma Yan's archers above Tongguan...

The sound of war drums, shouts, fighting, and screams resounded through the city walls. Long black arrows flew in the air, bloody swords whistled in the wind, huge stones were raging on the ladders, and heavy wooden hammers carried The sound of wind and thunder fell from the sky with thunderous force, and the soldiers on the ladder were like skewers, all of them were rolled down to the city, turning into blurred meat pie and meat sauce.

The sun hung lazily in the sky, looking indifferently at the bloody battle taking place in Tongguan. Perhaps it could not understand why these ants were killing each other, so it yawned in disinterest, hid behind the clouds, and continued to sleep...

…………………………

Fei Qian now has a headache. He was negligent for a moment and failed to predict the chain reaction of the late spring cold, which resulted in him having to face an extremely difficult situation now.

News came from Yinshan that Xianbei was heading south; the Zhong family from Chang'an in Guanzhong sent people to ask for help, saying that Xia Mou drove a large number of refugees to approach Chang'an; news also came from Tongguan that the Yang family was once again approaching the city...

For a time, war broke out.

"Yinshan Mobei..." Fei Qian tapped the table gently, making a thin sound like a woodpecker, and said, "Throughout the records, whenever there is a cold spring, nine out of ten Hu people will go south... The matter is due to someone's lack of thinking..."

Xun Chen said: "This matter is not the fault of the monarch. There is no certainty that the barbarians went south. How can it be said that it is the fault of the monarch? The monarch has very strict self-discipline..."

Fei Qian shook his head. Although most people believed that this matter was not Fei Qian's responsibility, he knew that this was indeed an oversight.

The reason why the Hu people went south is not complicated, and it is not difficult to speculate. It is just because the late spring cold caused the livestock to have no food source, resulting in death and a decrease in number. Therefore, they either went south to find new sources of supplements to maintain the size of the tribe, or they took the initiative to launch a war to To reduce the population...

Regardless of the type, the target of the Hu people is always the farming people in the south.

"The reason why we can maintain a strong position in front of the Xiongnu and Qiang people is that we can defeat Xianbei again and again!" Fei Qian said, "What the Hu people admire most is the strong, and they are used to obeying the strong. However, , if we show our decadence, the people who raise their knives to us are the barbarians who used to crawl under us... Therefore, this time when we go south to Xianbei, we must win, and we must win cleanly... "

There is another reason that Fei Qian did not explain clearly, but he was slightly worried in his heart. After all, in order to clear out the no-man's land and create a strong wall and clear the field, he could only pollute the water source when there were not many trees and only oasis water sources. It was just like the Huns' strategy against the Han people back then, but Fei Qian didn't know whether such a move would be effective, or how effective it would be.

Therefore, Yinshan must not only defend the Xianbei soldiers, but also prepare for the spread of diseases.

With Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others present, there will be no problem with the defensive soldiers, but with the defense against diseases, I'm afraid...

"Tell Zhang Yun and Zhang Yiyang to accompany the army, and they will go north to Yinshan with a certain person today!" Fei Qian said, "The land of Yinshan is the granary of our future, there is no room for loss! As for Chang'an..."

Jia Xugong cupped his hands and said, "If you can trust me, can you teach me how to deal with the Chang'an matter?"

Fei Qian glanced at Jia Xu, a little surprised. After all, this big turtle usually kept its head shrinking and rarely came out to shoulder the burden...

"I wonder how many soldiers Wenhe needs?" Fei Qian asked.

Jia Xu said: "Five hundred fine riders are enough."

Fei Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Yes! The matter in Guanzhong is entrusted to Wenhe..." Anyway, there are only five hundred cavalry. If he can really solve the problem in Guanzhong, Jia Xu is considered capable. Although Jia Xu did not say how to do it specifically, since Jia Xu jumped out, based on Jia Xu's character, it is probably possible to do it.

Unexpectedly, Pang Tong also cupped his hands and said: "In this case, let me give the south to someone... give me five hundred cavalry to someone, and that will relieve the prince of Tongguan's worries..."

Hehe, you are so awesome, how can it really save you so much trouble?

Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong, thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Well... okay..." He agreed to Jia Xu too readily before, and did not ask Jia Xu what his plan was. Now that Pang Tong came out, he also It's hard to ask, otherwise wouldn't it be clear that I believe in Jia Xu and not Pang Tong?

But in Tongguan in the south, in addition to Pang Tong, there is also Xu Shu, so there should be no problem in giving Pang Tong 500 horses...

However, Fei Qian's hesitant words were immediately noticed by Pang Tong. In the lobby, Pang Tong couldn't help but glared at Fei Qian angrily, and secretly made up his mind. This time he not only wanted to win but also win beauty, so that Fei Qian would not always treat him like a child... …
