Guan Yu's fierce offensive was completely beyond Shi Dakai's expectation.
Although the Han army seized the customs many times, but every time it was thunderous and rainy, it was because of this that Shi Dakai was able to divide his troops to rescue Chengdu under the watchful eyes of the Han army.
But this time, he clearly felt that Guan Yu was serious.
Today's Taiping Army is in name only.
These soldiers who went out for peace did not usher in peace in the end.In the bloody battle in Chengdu, all the kings fell, and even Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, became history.
In the end, they got nothing, except for the dilapidated land of Sichuan and Shu, they lost everything.
But now, although Shi Dakai is sitting in Zitong and other places, he has no reinforcements from outside. Even if he can use his military strength to succeed for a while, he is just sitting on the mountain.
Although there are tens of thousands of his troops around Jiange, but right now he has to divide his troops to the south and defend Guan Yu, so one can imagine the pressure.
As a result, he immediately mobilized the soldiers and civilians to go into battle together to defend their homes, transport materials for the defense of the city, transport stones and soil, and bravely repair the wall that was smashed by the catapult.When the arrows of the Han army were fired, they retreated to avoid the arrows. As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, they took up their weapons again and continued to stand on the wall.
Under the anxiety several times, the common people were killed and injured, but they did not let the closed wall miss an inch.
Seeing the people in the city so persistently helping Shi Dakai, even Guan Yu exclaimed.The great man has always pursued the combination of grace and power, and it can be said that he has spent a lot of effort in the Hanzhong area.It stands to reason that these people would respect the teaching of the king, so they would be caught without a fight, and the switch would welcome them in.
But it was all just his own wild imagination.The people in front of him were completely beyond his imagination.
Guan Ling on the side also shook his head helplessly. Although he was a general and hoped to make contributions, he did not want to see his compatriots kill each other.But Shi Dakai couldn't hold out, even if he attacked for a while, it would be difficult to improve.
After all, this Jiangeguan Pass is not a small town within three miles, and tens of thousands of troops can easily succeed in a strong attack.This pass is not only extremely strong, but the most important thing is that the ground in front of the pass is too narrow to give the Han army a chance to use it. Even if the Han army used trebuchets to attack, all the trebuchets could only use one-word long tongues. Stance, it is difficult to use all of them.
Coupled with the limited shooting range, it is impossible for Shuzhong Junming in the city to smash through the city wall with his efforts to repair it.
Outside the city is another earth slope that extends down, and rushing the car can't do anything at all.Even though Guan Yu saw that the people in the pass regarded death as home, he gritted his teeth and could only let the soldiers continue to attack.In delusion to use catapults and bows and arrows to cover the nurses, Shi Dakai in the city surrendered voluntarily because he could not bear the huge casualties.
The battle lasted from morning to afternoon. Almost [-]% of the bows and arrows were used up. The trebuchets used up all the boulders in stock.
Even so, Shi Dakai still persisted.
Finally Guan Yu couldn't sit still.
Not only did he consume countless supplies, but he also cost the lives of two thousand soldiers.If Shi Dakai had a chance to breathe if he retired from the army at this time, he would definitely lose a lot of money in this deal!
Thinking of this, Guan Yu ignored Guan Ling's stop, mounted his horse, and shouted to the soldiers under his command: "All the catapults, bows and crossbows stop attacking, and the ladder, let me get on it. Whoever climbs the Jiange Pass first will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and named general!" .”
Under the heavy reward, each of the Han army broke out with terrifying combat effectiveness.Amidst the sound of war drums, the battle has completely entered a white-hot state.
Amidst the sound of war drums, the Han army dispatched nearly a hundred teams at a time, with hundreds of people as the unit, followed by countless crossbowmen hiding among them.Stimulated by Guan Yu's heavy reward, these soldiers became more brave, braved the arrows, stones and other things falling from the sword pavilion, quickly put the ladder on the edge of the pass, and killed towards the city wall with red eyes.
The archers behind were also frantically shooting at the city wall to relieve the pressure on the brothers of the cloud echelon team.
The Han army was not afraid of death, so naturally the Taiping army in the pass was not afraid of death either.In the face of the frenzied attack of the Han army, they threw rocks down the city, threw ash bottles and logs, pushed or pulled, and overturned a ladder on the wall. If a Han army wants to climb the city wall, they will attack in a swarm.
Even though the soldiers of the Han army were far superior to them in terms of equipment and training, they used their simple knives, guns and wooden sticks to push the soldiers of the Han army out of the city wall to defend their own homes and their relatives.Every time a Taiping Army soldier falls, more Taiping Army soldiers or ordinary people will rush forward.Under their relentless fighting, the Han army failed to reach Jiange Pass after all.
At dusk, the entire Jiange Pass was like a bloody Shura Field.
In desperation, Guan Yu originally planned to fight in the field, but fortunately, Guan Ping and Guan Ling next to him dissuaded him from such crazy plans.
In desperation, Guan Yu could only swallow his breath, and prepared to attack Jiange again in the future.
Unlike Guan Yu, Shi Dakai in the city at this moment has another plan.
Relying on the superior location of the Jiange, they won a tragic victory.
Facing the strong bows and crossbows of the Han army, their soldiers suffered few casualties.But the people suffered a lot of casualties.As the commander in chief, he should take the outcome of the battle as the ultimate benchmark for measuring everything.
But Shi Dakai was greatly influenced by Hong Xiuquan at the time. In his heart, all living beings are equal. If he is resisting foreigners and fighting for the country, he has no psychological burden.Now, he couldn't bear to watch these soldiers die.
But he couldn't surrender, because he didn't want to see Jiange, the last pure land, fall into Liu Bei's hands.
After thinking about it, there is only one way to solve the problem at hand.
Night raid!
Taking advantage of Guan Yu's heavy losses today, he quickly mobilized troops to attack his camp at night.
Even if you can't win a big victory, you can still use a victory to scratch the enemy's spirit and win a respite for your army.
Thinking of this, Shi Daxin made up his mind, leaving the lieutenant to stick to the Jiange fortress, and leading [-] soldiers, holding various fire starters, and quickly left the city in the dark.
Chapter 842 Shi Dakai Attacks Guan Yunchang at Night
At three o'clock, in Jiange Pass, all the soldiers gathered together, their faces were all red and joyful.
"Bring wine!" Shi Dakai's lieutenant quickly poured wine for him.
Looking at the thousands of brave men selected before him, Shi Dakai nodded in satisfaction and said, "All soldiers, drink this cup to the brim, and follow me to kill the enemy!"
The three thousand soldiers all stared at Shi Dakai in front of them. After Shi Dakai drank, they also drank the strong wine in their bowls.
Drink strong wine to strengthen your courage.All the soldiers felt their blood was boiling, and they were ready for battle with weapons in their hands.
Shi Dakai also rode on his horse and shouted at the soldiers: "If you don't break the enemy army, you will never return to the army!"
All the sergeants also shouted together.
After the words fell, many soldiers quickly drove out of the pass, and the city guards had already opened the city gate to let them go away.
The lack of horses in the Southern Army is also due to Liu Bei and Cao Anmin.Even for Shi Dakai, most of his war horses are rough horses produced in the southwest.This kind of camel horse is good for transporting goods, but it is really inappropriate to ride it to charge into battle.
Fortunately, the location of the Han army's camp is not too far away, and after a gallop, they are getting closer and closer to the Han army's camp.
Just as Shi Dakai guessed, the Han army was exhausted after a day of fierce fighting.Coupled with Guan Yu's experience gained from fighting Shi Dakai several times before, although Shi Dakai is loyal and brave, he is also a timid person, who only dares to stick to the city gate, and has no possibility of jumping out of the city.
Because of this, Guan Yu didn't take Shi Da to heart at all, and after the camp tour was over, he recuperated and rested in the big tent.
But Guan Ling and Guan Ping were concerned about their father's injury, and turned a blind eye to the military affairs of the army.The gates of the camp were closed early to let the soldiers rest, and only a small number of troops that did not go into battle today were performing night patrols.
When Shi Dakai's army arrived at the camp, the Han army in a state of paralysis and carelessness was in front of them.
At first, Shi Dakai was a little worried.
After all, Guan Yu is a famous military general who has marched and fought for decades, and it is absolutely impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.
I gathered [-] elite soldiers and originally planned to fight. If Guan Yu had been on guard and set up an ambush in the camp, all [-] soldiers of my own would be killed by him if they met each other.
But soon he was relieved.
Because everything can be disguised, but the resting posture of soldiers cannot be disguised.
His thousands of soldiers and horses all came quietly, without making any sound.Observing the Han army at such a close distance, I realized that snoring was everywhere.
