Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 778

As far as the terrain of Guangcheng Pass and Dagu Pass is concerned, the Guangcheng Pass is relatively not too dangerous.

Guangchengguan is located in the south of Guangcheng Garden, not far from Kongtong Mountain. Although it is also relying on the mountain of Kongtong Mountain, it is roughly built on a high slope.

On the side of Guangcheng Pass is next to Guangcheng Ze. This Heze is just under the cliff on one side of the high slope where Guangcheng Pass is located, which can be regarded as blocking the passage of outsiders. It is difficult for foreign enemies to cross, but on the whole, Guangcheng Pass is not built in a narrow mountain valley.

Therefore, the terrain in front of Guangcheng Pass is relatively open, allowing the attackers to set up their positions to attack the pass.

In addition, Guangcheng Pass was abandoned for a period of time before, although Zhu Weijun started to build the pass again and stationed troops to defend it, but in fact it did not give this pass any more defensive advantages.

On the contrary, the terrain of Daguguan is more in line with the identity of guarding the eight major passes of Luoyang. Daguguan is located in the valley between Songshan Mountain and Longmen Mountain. The depth of the valley is fifteen kilometers. Li, the environment is very complicated, it is very suitable for troops to ambush.

Therefore, the terrain outside Dagu Pass made the attackers have to be careful to guard against the ambush hidden in the mountains, and the defenders of Dagu Pass also had more possibilities for defensive counterattacks.

In this way, considering the actual situation of Guangcheng Pass and Dagu Pass, the focus of Cao Cao's surprise attack on Luoyang this time was also on Dagu Pass.

When Zhu Weijun attacked Luoyang before, the main thing was that Luoyang defender Wu Xi was completely unprepared, and he didn't have many troops to garrison the outer pass.

That's why Wei Yan was able to easily deceive the closed gate of Dagu Pass, thus capturing the dangerous pass guarding the south gate of Luoyang City, but now Zhu Wei will not ignore the defense of Dagu Pass, otherwise Zhu Wei would not send troops here stationed.

According to Cao Cao's plan, if Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Xu Shang disguised themselves as Zhu Wei to support Luoyang's reinforcements and successfully deceived Zhu Weijun at Guangcheng Pass, they would rather go through Guangcheng Pass first without doing anything, and then go directly to deceive Open Dagu Pass.

In this way, it may be possible to prevent Guangcheng Pass from launching a warning signal, and make Dagu Pass ready, so that Cao Jun can attack Dagu Pass more easily.

As for Guangcheng Pass, after Cao Ren and the others broke through Dagu Pass, they could turn around and cooperate with Cao Cao's main force to attack from both inside and outside. Maybe Guangcheng Pass could be broken by then.

Of course, Cao Cao also knew that everything could not be as he wished, so he also prepared for the worst.

If Cao Ren was seen through at Guangcheng Pass, then he could only use the fastest attack to break through the pass. This way, Guangcheng Pass would be easier to fight, but at Dagu Pass, he could only attack with force.

But this time Cao Cao was also prepared to forcibly break through the Dagu Pass no matter how many people were sacrificed.

Before Hulao Pass, it was because Zhu Weijun's defenders were about the same strength as Cao Cao's, so Cao Cao didn't dare to fight recklessly, because recklessly might not be able to win Hulao Pass.

Although the terrain of Dagu Pass is dangerous now, the scale of the pass cannot be compared with Hulao Pass after all. If Cao Jun tries his best to attack with all his strength, he can still capture it.

The most important thing is that there are not many Zhu Wei defenders on Daguguan, and Cao Jun's surprise attack, so the success rate of attacking by surprise is very high.

So one early morning in mid-August 199 AD, the Zhu Weijun soldiers at Guangcheng Pass found a large army marching towards them quickly with a banner in front of them.

Not long after, the soldiers on duty reported to Sun Jing, the general guarding the pass, and Sun Jing also arrived at the gate tower of the pass immediately.

Seeing the army approaching quickly outside, Sun Jing could not help but frowned slightly, and then ordered the soldiers below to prepare for defense, lest they encountered a surprise attack from the enemy.

Now there are [-] Zhu Weijun stationed in this Guangcheng pass, which is considered sufficient to guard such a pass.

Of course, it was already summer, so it was normal for troops to march in the morning and evening and rest at noon. Although it was early in the morning, the weather was relatively cool, and it was considered a suitable time for marching.

At this time, the ones coming to Guangcheng Pass may not be enemy troops, they may be reinforcements from Jingzhou.

As the sun slowly rises from the east, the sun slantly shines on the approaching army, and the uniforms of those soldiers seem to be from their own army.

Sun Jing took another look at the banners of the troops coming over there, with the word "Yang" written on them, and then saw that the size of the troops was more than ten thousand, and there was no logistics or anything like that in the rear. The state of the short march is more like the reinforcements coming from Jingzhou.

Not long after, the army over there had already arrived in front of Guangcheng Pass. Among them, a young general in his 30s approached the closed gate, bowed his hands politely, and said, "I don't know which general is in the city. , it is Zhang Shijun in Hanzhong who led the soldiers to sacrifice wine, and today he was ordered to lead the troops to rescue Luoyang! Please also open and close the gates, general, and let us pass through!"

"Master Zhang's army in Hanzhong?"

Sun Jing seemed a little confused at first, but gradually she seemed to understand something, and then said again, "So it's the army of Hanzhong? But why are there only these soldiers and horses, eh, no, it's not from the Jiangjiao camp to travel by water Send you to Luoyang? How did you come to Guangcheng Pass?"

"This, I don't know! Or there are too many soldiers and horses, and the water transport is not enough, so I asked a certain party to lead a part of the Hanzhong Army, and then rushed to Luoyang by land! Please let the general go quickly! A certain family must be in August. Arrived in Luoyang [-] days ago, today is the [-]th, only two days to go, and the weather is so hot, even though a certain family is traveling day and night, it will be inconvenient after all, I'm afraid it will delay the journey!"

The young general under the city didn't explain much, he seemed to be talking anxiously, obviously he was also anxious to get to Luoyang within the time limit.

"Oh, so that's the case, but you need a token to clear the customs, so please ask Yang Jijiu to take out the token!"

Sun Jing on Guancheng seemed to understand the mood of the Hanzhong troops below the city, but still followed the rules and asked them to take out their command talismans.

"Order sign? This, I never said I needed it! Alas, we rushed from Hanzhong to Jingzhou, and after staying in Jingzhou for less than a day, we were ordered to march to Luoyang. Didn't think too much about it, oops, did someone forget to get the token?"

"Then, what should we do? Now, do you want a certain soldier to stop here and then send someone back to get the token? Well, the weather is hot. Although our army has brought dry food, we haven't been able to prepare much. What...how about this! If you miss the military term, alas, then, then, I don’t know how to explain to Zhang Dajiu!"

The young general under Guancheng seemed to have suddenly realized, and then his expression became awkward. He seemed to be wiping the sweat from his forehead, and after a while he raised his head and said...
