Chapter 66 Bloody Yanmen Pass ([-]) On the other side, in the Xianbei camp, everyone was also affected by the tragedy of Queju.
"Siege!"
Tan Shihuai knew that this was his last chance.
This time, he was not in the central army, but came to the front line to boost morale.
When Xianbei Erlang saw the Great Danyu coming to the front line in person, their morale was high, and they all began to rush forward desperately.
On the city tower, Han Dang did not panic. Xianbei did not attack in the first half of the day. Han Dang had already thought that the master in the rear was buying time for himself. Since there was no new order, he would do his best not to let go of any Xianbei. people.
"put!"
In the narrow passage, more Xianbei people poured in than yesterday. Therefore, the sharpshooters guarding Yanmen Pass did not need to aim. When the enemy came within fifty steps, they began to shoot indiscriminately.
This was a life-and-death contest. The Xianbei people fought tooth and nail and fought hard, which also made Han Dang, who was guarding the city, nervous again and again.
The siege horn sounded, and the soldiers carried long ladders and rushed towards the city roared in the air, stones flew down from the top of the city, and fireballs flew out of the trebuchets of the defenders and landed on the ranks of the siege soldiers, causing siege soldiers struggled to approach the city wall under the rain of arrows and stones.
Fifty steps.
Forty steps.
Ten steps.
Under the long ladder of the siege soldiers, the defenders held swords and guns and attacked from the top of the used bows, arrows, stones and boiling water to destroy the siege siege soldiers successfully scaled the city wall and started a life-and-death struggle with the defenders.
In the fierce battle, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and heads fell to the siege soldiers rushed towards the city gate like a tide, but the defenders resisted desperately. The city gate was crumbling under the attack, but it was never breached.
"General, I can't stand it anymore!"
"If you can't stand it, you have to stand it. My lord, hand over Yanmen Pass to me. I will make sure that no Xianbei can escape here. Come and kill me!"
"boom!"
Under the desperate attack of the Xianbei people, the Yanmenguan city gate was finally breached.
"Follow me and pass the level!"
Seeing the opportunity, Tan Shihuai immediately mobilized his war horses and charged outside the pass.
The cavalry behind him also followed immediately.
Horse hooves trampled on the wounded soldiers and corpses that fell to the ground, leaving them bloody and bloody.
"withstand!"
"Fight with me!"
Han Dang was in a hurry, but there were too many enemy troops in front of him, so he could only hold on to his current position.
"Brother Yi Gong, don't panic, Huang Zhong is here!"
# "Brother Yi Gong, don't panic, Huang Zhong is here!"
A quarter of an hour later, Huang Zhong led [-] cavalry to Yanmen Pass, and happened to bump into the Xianbei cavalry rushing out of the pass. Without saying a word, he led the army to launch a countercharge towards Yanmen Pass.
"Han Sheng, leave me alone and quickly block the city gate!"
The city gate was narrow, and the number of Xianbei cavalry who rushed out was definitely not as large as that of Huang Zhong. Except for the few hundred cavalry who rushed out at the beginning, the other three thousand or so Xianbei cavalry who rushed out were the most elite in the hands of Liu Han, led by Huang Zhong. The cavalry counterattacked and fought back.
Then the front was stabilized, and the gate of Yanmen Pass was closed again. Also closed was the hope of the Xianbei people to escape.
As the sun set, both sides fought to the point of exhaustion, and the Xianbei people retreated reluctantly.
The city walls are covered with the corpses of soldiers, some of them Han, but more of them Xianbei.
"Han Sheng!"
"Yi Gong!"
Huang Zhong saw Han Dang, who had multiple stab wounds on his body, but still stayed on the front line, "Sorry, I'm late."
"Aren't you...?"
"Yes, it worked!"
"It's a pity that I didn't complete the mission of master's transportation. I didn't hold Yanmen Pass." "I don't blame you. I know that you, Han Yigong, have tried your best."
"This time, no one from Xianbei can escape."
Han Dang looked at the Xianbei camp dotted with sparks in the distance with a fierce look on his face.
After so many Pao Ze were killed in the battle, and if the Xianbei people were allowed to escape, he, Han Yigong, would commit suicide.
# On the other side, Liu Han finished the half-day battle and counted the losses. Although 3000 enemies were wiped out in this battle, Queju's head was originally targeted by Lu Bu, but he was unlucky and was scalped by Xu Huang with an axe.
However, our cavalry killed 120 people and wounded 640 seven people. The battle loss ratio was nearly one to one. But this time the enemy was very powerful. Not only that, but what surprised Liu Han was that no one surrendered. .
Really scary! After the war, everyone was deeply reflecting on the situation. At the same time, various ministries summarized their experience. Horse warfare is different from infantry. When cavalry fights, the probability of death is much higher than that of infantry.
"Lord."
Xu Huang walked in with the information, "Huang Zhong arrived at Yanmen Pass, just..."
"Just what?"
When Liu Han heard Xu Huang's information, he was convinced that as long as the siege lasted for another day or two, Ding Yuan's 1 people would arrive, and by then they would be able to eat the 4 people here without fail.
"General Han Dang failed to defend Yanmen Pass. If General Huang Zhong had not arrived in time, Yanmen Pass would have been breached, but hundreds of people were still allowed to escape."
"what?"
When Liu Han heard Xu Huang's report, his voice raised three tones, and then calmed down, "You can't blame him. Han Dang did his best. 2000 people can block most of the enemy. He was not wrong.
We were wrong. We underestimated Tan Shihuai's cunning and did not put more people in the north. This was a strategic mistake. We can't blame him. "
"Lord."
Xu Huang originally thought that Liu Han would be furious and blame Han Dang, but unexpectedly, he first reflected on himself. Xu Huang was really lucky to have such a wise lord!
"Okay, let the army rest for a day or two, and then launch a general attack."
"promise."
# Different from the calmness of the Han army, the Xianbei camp was already gloomy and gloomy at this moment, and its morale dropped to the lowest point.
"The Great Shanyu left us and ran away."
Yes, Tanshihuai was very lucky. Among the hundreds of escaped fish, Tanshihuai was among them.
However, all other leaders were detained in Yanmen Pass.
Not only that, this attack on the city has been the last breath of the Xianbei people. Now there are less than [-] soldiers who can stand up, and the others are all wounded.
"How to do?"
Questions were asked, but no one answered.
Yanmen Pass cannot be conquered.
Now, they are just fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by Liu Han.
As time continues to push back, more and more Han people will come here, and it will be a matter of time before they are eliminated.
"If we persist until the Great Chanyu brings people to rescue"
"This is impossible!"
This idea was refuted immediately. Not to mention anything else, it would take at least five days for Tan Shihuai to go back, gather the troops and come back, not to mention the time to attack Yanmen Pass from the outside.
At that time, they had long been swallowed up by the Han people.
"It seems that the Han people will launch their final attack in the next day or two."
Smart people can see that the Han cavalry that suddenly reinforced Yanmen Pass this time was the same Han army that raided Danhan Mountain. In other words, now Yanmen Pass is no longer a handful of people, but an army that can launch a counterattack at any time. The charging army.
