In fact, Tianjingguan's defense should be relatively tight.
At least in terms of the various equipment used to guard the gate, they were extremely well prepared.
Because three of the eight peaks in Taihang lead directly to Hanoi.
They are Zhiguanxing, Taihangxing and Baixing respectively.
Zhiguanxing leads from Hedong to Hanoi, while Taihangxing and Baixing lead from Shangdang to Hanoi.
As long as one line is not defended, Hanoi will not be protected.
As Sima Yi's hometown, Hanoi naturally did not want to see this situation unless he had no choice.
Although Gaodu City was previously in the hands of the Wei army, Sima Yi knew that it would be difficult to stop the Han army just by defending the city.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
Throw it away.
The stone fell to the ground and rolled down the mountain.
A Han soldier who was climbing up with his head lowered could not dodge and was knocked to the ground.
But seeing him and Shan Shi rolling down together.
"Did you see that? Just like this, hit me hard!"
With the guard general personally taking the lead, and the supervising team he brought over watching with eager eyes, several people were executed on the spot.
The locked soldiers of Wei finally began to cheer up a little.
The Han army, which had easily reached the gate of Guancheng without paying many casualties, was delighted to say that there were not many thieves in the Pass.
Unexpectedly, the Wei army at the top of the city suddenly increased its intensity. The Han army was caught off guard and immediately screamed and had to retreat in embarrassment.
"Could there be an ambush?"
They had obviously reached the city wall of Guancheng, but unexpectedly they were suddenly forced back. Some people couldn't help but be surprised.
"impossible!"
Zhang held up his binoculars and stared at the movement in Guancheng. "Even if there is an ambush, the thieves cannot ambush in Guancheng."
They didn't ambush in so many dangerous places, but they ambush in Guancheng?
Just to be able to repel one of his own attacks?
"Could it be that the thief showed me his weakness and deliberately tempted me?"
Another possibility was raised.
This time, Zhang did not deny it immediately.
Because this possibility is not impossible, and it is very high.
After all, Tianjing Pass is too dangerous. Even if the troops approach the gate, it doesn't mean they can capture it in a short time.
The defenders can rely on dangerous passes to repel the enemy.
only……
Zhang Jing still felt that something was not right.
He is not a first-time leader like Sima Shi.
As early as in Liangzhou, he had already followed his father Zhang Gong and uncle Zhang Hua to quell the rebellion.
I was once held hostage by thieves and faced the line of life and death.
He was even tricked by a certain ghost king.
In addition, in the early years, he went to the Western Regions alone to persuade the kings and chiefs of the Western Regions.
His experience is not without richness, and his knowledge is definitely not comparable to that of Sima Shi, who has just tried to step out from under Sima Yi's wings.
There seems to be a reasonable explanation for the move of shutting down the Wei thieves and garrison.
But Zhang Jiu subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Then after thinking about it for a while, I immediately thought of what the problem was:
"How difficult is it for our soldiers to attack the city from the bottom of the mountain?"
"If the rebel army had used all their strength from the beginning, the casualties of the soldiers would have been greater. Why do they need to do so much? There must be something fishy!"
"Come here, give the order immediately and continue to attack the key!"
After gathering the retreating soldiers, Zhang quickly sent another group of troops to continue the attack.
But he was slapped hard by reality.
The Wei generals who guarded the pass did not hesitate to publicly execute the soldiers who did not fight well and forcibly supervise the Wei army.
At this time, the Wei army was afraid and had to fight hard.
This time the Han army's attack did not have the same luck as the last time.
From the beginning, they encountered a strong counterattack from the Wei army.
When the door was closed, arrows flew like locusts, and trees and rolling stones fell down one after another.
But I heard the screams of the Han soldiers.
The arrow feathers were fine, but if those wood and rolling stones were hit, there was a high chance that they would lose arms or legs.
No matter how thick the armor is, it can't stop the huge kinetic energy they carry.
If he was unlucky enough and was hit, he would become a pile of bones.
"Damn it! Thief, the thief is extremely hateful!"
Before waiting for a report from the front, Zhang's face changed drastically at what he saw through the telescope, and then he turned livid.
If you make a mistake in judgment, it is still a small thing to lose face to the people below.
But not far behind him, there was Protector Zhongdu watching!
This Wei thief is simply
Just to embarrass him on purpose.
Zhang Jiu, who felt some pressure, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
This made him begin to doubt his previous judgment:
Could it be that I really guessed wrong? The thief's first episode was just to lure the enemy?
But he didn't know that Feng Duhu, who was also holding a telescope to observe the battle situation, also frowned.
Why does this Wei thief's reaction sound like he's pretending to be a corpse?
One moment there is almost no resistance, the next moment they won't give in an inch of ground.
At this time, Feng Duhu was no longer an inexperienced young man who was leading an army for the first time.
Rather, he can be regarded as a true battlefield veteran.
At this time, he didn't care much about whether he could capture Tianjing Pass.
Therefore, I can think about Wei Jun's abnormal behavior with a more peaceful and relaxed attitude.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
As for whether it is a good demon or a bad demon, it will not be determined for a while - at this point, Feng Duhu is much calmer than Zhang in the battle.
After all, the advantage is mine.
"Yuan Kai?"
"Sir, the disciple is here."
Du Yu quickly took two steps forward, raised his hands and saluted, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Feng Duhu pointed to Tianjing Pass in the distance and asked, "Did you see what happened just now?"
As a direct disciple of Feng Duhu, Du Yu naturally had some special treatment, and he also had a pair of binoculars in his hand.
"Sir, my disciple saw it."
Feng Duhu turned his head, glanced at him, and said:
"You once mentioned that as long as Sima Shi can be defeated one more time, the Han Dynasty will be able to take advantage of the great victory and seize the opportunity to capture Tianjing Pass."
"Then do you think, with the talent of the bandits, we can really capture Guancheng this time?"
Du Yu pondered for a moment, and then replied:
"Mr. Hui, students are stupid and really can't understand the purpose of the actions of the bandits."
"However, the student still believes that Tianjingguan will be able to get down."
"Oh?" Feng Duhu said in a long voice, "Why?"
"Because the defenders are insufficient."
Du Yu pointed at Guan Cheng, "According to what students have seen, there are not many thieves in Guan City."
"Even if the student's previous judgment was wrong and the rebel army was defeated repeatedly, he still had the courage to defend Tianjing Pass. However, under your master's planning, Tianjing Pass is already in your pocket."
These words made Feng Duhu couldn't help but smile on his face:
"Speak well when you say something, and don't flatter me randomly. Why do you think the garrison in Guancheng is insufficient?"
"Sir, are you testing me?"
Du Yu was not afraid when he heard Feng Duhu's half-laughing, half-cursing words, but pointed to the mountain passes around Tianjing Pass:
"As the saying goes, a city cannot be defended in isolation. Although the terrain of Tianjing Pass is dangerous, we must also pay attention to the surrounding terrain in order to be effective."
"For example, if there are many Wubao villages on both sides of Guancheng, with the canines and fangs crisscrossing each other, echoing each other and acting as horns, this place will be said to be naturally dangerous and difficult to attack."
"Now the thieves abandon the surrounding mountain passes and only focus on guarding the city. How is this different from guarding an isolated city?"
"In the student's opinion, this is not because the Wei thieves did not know how to guard the pass, but because of the lack of troops. Therefore, the student believes that this pass must be successful."
Although he knew that Du Yu was a genius, Feng Duhu still showed approval when he heard his speech.
Before he could say the words of praise, Du Yu said with admiration again:
"The student made a fool of himself in front of the teacher before, but he thought he had a trick, but he never expected that the Wei thieves would still have the courage to defend the gate after two consecutive defeats."
"Sir, you are very thoughtful and well-planned. Not only did you want to defeat Sima Division, you also tried to mobilize the bandit army so that they would have no intention of guarding the border but no strength to defend the border."
Feng Duhu was slightly startled: "Mobilize the traitor army?"
"Sir, are you testing me again? Sir, you sent Hubu and the Second Military Guard
Pushing into Luoyang, Sima Division could only rush back to aid Luoyang and was unable to defend Tianjing Pass anymore. "
The look of admiration on Du Yu's face became even stronger: "This can be said to lead to the enemy but not control it?"
"Oh, so that's what you're talking about."
Feng Duhu shook his head and said with a smile: "I sent General Zhang to lead the armed guards and asked him to try to sneak across Maojin Ferry. My original intention was to cooperate with the Tiger Infantry to capture Hangu Pass and Shaanxi."
"In the original plan, I really didn't expect to force Sima Division to return to Luoyang, giving us a good opportunity to capture Tianjing Pass."
"So you don't have to act like this. The truth is that plans are not as fast as changes. No matter how good the plan is, unexpected situations may occur."
"I'm not omniscient, so I can't make the plan flawless. I just take it one step at a time and constantly revise the plan based on the battle situation before the battle."
With Feng Duhu's current status, he no longer needs to pretend to be mysterious to decorate himself.
Du Yu said without hesitation:
"As long as you can make a better plan than the thief, then the chances of winning are small. If you are prepared, you will win if you are unprepared. Sir, you can be considered flawless."
"Hahaha!"
Although he knew that his student was flattering him, Feng Duhu couldn't help laughing.
He pointed at Du Yu, "You, you!"
"Well, since you said so, I'll give you a chance."
"How about I send you to study with General Zhang and assist General Zhang in capturing Guancheng?"
Du Yu was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: "My disciple, thank you sir."
Feng Duhu waved his hand: "Go ahead."
"Here!"
It's just a Tianjing Pass used by Wu Qianjun to practice in actual combat. It doesn't matter if he adds one more of his disciples to practice on.
Anyway, the road to Luoyang has almost been opened, and it has become less urgent for Feng Duhu to open up the three passes to Hanoi.
On the second day, Du Yu, who happily ran to serve as Zhang Jiu's temporary adviser, saw that the soldiers who were attacking the key point were defeated again, and Zhang Jiu's face became ugly when he saw it again.
He finally took the opportunity to speak:
"General Zhang, as I predicted, the mountain road directly in front of Tianjing Pass is difficult to pass. Simply attacking by force is not an option."
"Why don't we divide our forces and seize the key points on the left and right flanks of Guancheng first to create a coercive force, and then find a way to attack Guancheng? What do you think, general?"
Although Zhongduhu said that he should let himself go and attack the city.
But how could Zhang Jiu not know that the longer this time went on, the worse his performance would be in the eyes of Zhongdu Hu.
It's just that facing such a dangerous pass, as long as the bandits at the pass have all the advantages, if they surrender at the pass, how can they conquer it in just a short while?
While he was anxious, Zhang Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard what Du Yu said.
I saw him patting his thigh: "What a shame! I've been taking care of you for the past two days..."
Halfway through, he didn't finish and turned to Du Yu:
"Du Langjun, thank you for the reminder!"
In the past two days, I have been focusing on how to capture Guancheng as soon as possible in order to show off in front of the Central Protector.
But he didn't expect that he had already made a serious mistake.
Du Yu smiled shyly.
