Jiange, also known as Jianmen in ancient times, was the strategic center of Qin and Shu. According to historical records, it got its name because Zhuge Liang chiseled rocks in the air at Jianmen Pass to build the Feiliang Pavilion Road during the Three Kingdoms period. It is known as the "barrier of northern Sichuan and the throat of the two rivers".
The total length of Jiange Road is more than 30 miles, going to Hanzhong in the north and Chengdu in the south. On the thirty-mile Shu Road, the most dangerous and the most important point of defense is Jianmen Pass.
Jianmen Pass is located on the middle road of Jianmen Mountain. It is built on a cliff and has a stone gate. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has the reputation of "one man can guard the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open it". It is the chokepoint of Sichuan-Shaanxi transportation. There are few dangers to go south after passing here. Therefore, the gain or loss of Jianmen Pass is directly related to the safety of Chengdu. It has always been a must-have for military strategists.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei general Zhong Hui attacked Shu, and Shu general Jiang Wei retreated to Jiange and formed a camp to guard the danger. Although the Wei army numbered 100,000, they were still unable to cross the Leichi. After that, the generals Sima Xun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty, Xingluan of the Liang Wei Dynasty, Yuchi Jiong of the Western Wei Dynasty, Liang Rui of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yan Li of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiji of the later Tang Dynasty, and Wang Quanbin of the Song Dynasty attempted to seize Sichuan. They all seized Jiange first to threaten Chengdu.
Now, after the Sui Army general Long Zhi captured Hanchuan County, in order to support Li Jing and Yue Fei in capturing Shuzhong, he led the main army north to resist Li Longji's army and at the same time sent General Guan Ling to lead an army of 8,000 people south to Jianmen.
It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to try to win the Jianmen Gate, the most dangerous pass in Shu with only 8,000 troops and horses. Guan Ling was well aware of this, so he did not lead his army to attack Jianmen, but continued to harass outside, forcing Li Xiaogong and Li Shiji, who were still in Shu at the time, to separate five thousand troops, led by General Huang Junhan , go to Jianmen to strengthen the defense.
After Huang Junhan took office, he strictly followed the instructions of Li Xiaogong and Li Shiji and only strengthened the defense of Jianmen, but never went out to fight the Sui army. Guan Ling was young and energetic, and could not help but feel contempt for Tang Jun. With the news that Li Jing and Yue Fei had annihilated Dingding Bashu, the main force of the Tang army, Guan Ling's contempt for the Tang army became even more intense, and she had unknowingly relaxed her vigilance.
On this day, Huang Junhan from Jianmen handed a letter of surrender to Guan Ling. Guan Ling thought that now that Li Xiaogong was dead, the main force of the Tang army had been destroyed, and the overall situation in Bashu was decided. Coupled with his instinctive contempt for Huang Junhan, he did not doubt his presence, so he took his troops and horses to Jianmen Pass to accept his surrender.
Outside Jianmen Pass, Huang Junhan had already led a group of generals and lieutenants from the Jianmen Pass garrison to wait quietly outside the gate. When he saw Guan Ling leading his army, Huang Junhan immediately led the generals behind him to greet Guan Ling, knelt on one knee and held his fist and said : "The criminal general Huang Junhan is willing to surrender to the Sui Dynasty and serve the Sui Dynasty!"
According to common sense, when facing a new general, the general should be encouraged. But how could Guan Ling know this at such a young age? He just waved his hand in the air and walked towards the pass without any courtesy.
Huang Junhan calmly moved to the side to make way for Sui Jun, but when he slowly raised his head, a terrifying murderous intention flashed in his eyes.
However, Guan Ling was so complacent at this time that she did not notice the murderous intent in Huang Junhan's eyes at all, nor did she realize that Huang Junhan and other generals not only did not follow his army into the pass, but had inadvertently separated from the Sui army. distance.
There was a "bang", and shortly after Guan Ling rode his horse into the pass, a large area of the ground collapsed under his feet. Guan Ling and a dozen other Sui soldiers who were walking in front immediately fell into the pit together with their horses.
"No, I fell into a trap!"
Guan Ling reacted very quickly. The next moment he fell into the pit, he jerked the reins. The Huang Yuan horse under his crotch was also extremely psychic. He immediately stretched out his hind hoof and kicked against the side wall of the pit. He immediately jumped out of the pit.
However, the soldiers who fell into the pit with Guan Ling were not as good as Guan Ling. After falling into the pit, they were stabbed all over by the bamboo spears in the horse pit, dripping with blood, and kept wailing.
"Kill, capture Guan Ling alive!"
At the same time, there was a loud killing cry inside the Jianmen Pass, and countless Tang soldiers poured out from all directions. The originally wide-open door slowly closed at this moment.
On the city wall, Li Shiji, who was dressed in armor, was standing with his sword pointed at Guan Ling and shouted: "Guan Ling, little boy, quickly dismount and be bound, I may spare your life!"
"Bah, you're just a scheming thief, I'm going to cut you into pieces!"
Guan Ling was furious with the bullfighter, slapped his horse, and charged straight towards the city wall.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Guan Ling has entered a violent state, the force is +5, the basic force is 1oo, and the current force has increased to 1o5."
"If you are stubborn, shoot the arrow!" Li Shiji snorted coldly and immediately ordered loudly.
In an instant, arrows rained down like rain, and the Sui army came in lightly armed with no precautions at all. They were shot on the spot, causing people to fall over on their backs, and there were deaths and injuries all over the place.
Seeing the brother Paoze beside him being shot to the ground in pieces by feather arrows, Guan Ling's eyes were wide open and he roared angrily. He waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand like the wind and galloped toward the city wall.
"Kill, take down the Guan Ling-level person, reward 10,000 yuan!" Seeing Guan Ling getting closer and closer, Li Shiji waved the command flag in his hand, and a group of people rushed out from both sides of the city wall, shouting loudly and killing Guan Ling.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Guan Ling screamed, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword swept left and right, shooting out cold light, and beheaded more than a dozen Tang Army generals.
"Little Guan Ling, you dare to be so arrogant when you are about to die!"
Xu Ning, the golden gunner, shouted loudly, danced with the hook and sickle in his hand, and clapped his horse to grab the bell.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Xu Ning has entered a fighting state, the force is +3, the base force is 94, and the current force has increased to 97."
With a "dang" sound, Guan Ling swung his sword away from Xu Ning's hook and sickle spear, and then cut off Xu Ning's head with his backhand sword.
Xu Ning's expression changed, and he hurriedly reined in his horse and stepped back, but his reaction was still half a beat too slow. There was just a "click" sound, and blood suddenly appeared. Guan Ling slashed the horse under Xu Ning's crotch into two pieces, and Xu Ning also staggered and fell off the horse.
"Death to the rat!"
Guan Ling immediately shouted loudly and slapped Xu Ning on the spot before taking his life.
Seeing that their general was in danger, the soldiers under Xu Ning's command hurriedly surrounded Xu Ning. Dozens of long spears were stabbed from all directions, forcing Guan Ling to retract his sword and fight back. Fortunately, Xu Ning escaped.
On the city wall, Li Shiji saw that Guan Ling was unstoppable. He immediately pointed at Guan Ling and said to the archers beside him: "Shoot this little thief to death with random arrows!"
After receiving the order, these archers immediately cocked their arrows and aimed them at Guan Ling, who was fighting bravely under the tower.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Li Shiji, stopping the archer from releasing his arrow.
Hearing this voice, Li Shiji couldn't help but frown. The person who stopped him was none other than Tian Zaibiao, the fierce general who had been ordered by Li Xiaogong to break out and catch up with Li Shiji. ()
