Chapter 78: The Battle of Jiameng Pass
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it became dark outside Jiameng Pass.
Even if the commander's troops galloped at night and returned to Jiameng Pass, it would probably take until the next day during the day. At that time, if they could bring back the military orders of the governor of the state, or Zhao Wei came in person, then things could be settled quickly.
But if there is no such thing, Jiameng Pass may really not be able to keep it.
Relying on the door of Guanlou, Zhang Wei looked up at the night sky silently. After a while, he suddenly said to Zhu Gui beside him: "Yuan Ling, do you think if I had returned to Bashu with my brother and had not been greedy for this opportunity to make contributions, wouldn't I have to be trapped in this prison?"
"I still think I didn't respond to the conquest of Liu Yizhou at the beginning, but was that useful? It was impossible!" He also looked up at the sky, and Zhu Guidao silently counted the stars, "I heard from the old people that the stars in the sky actually represent a person's fate. If you can find the corresponding one, you may be able to predict the good and bad luck of tomorrow."
"You said, why didn't you learn some skills in astrological maps!"
He whispered to him, Zhu Gui no longer paid attention to him and continued to count his own stars.
After a long time, Zhang Wei, who also looked at the sky, suddenly spoke quietly, "I actually had a feeling in the dark that my life should not be like this!"
He sat up suddenly, Zhu Gui stared at Zhang Wei with a burning look, "Do you mean we still have hope?"
Momo shook his head, and Zhang Wei continued: "It's a pity that after meeting the Zuo Zhonglang General, it seems that they have changed."
He lay lazily and was still there, Zhu Gui decided not to pay attention to Zhang Wei anymore.
In the night sky, the galaxy is shining brightly, as if everyone’s life should be like stars, with its own shining place.
It's just that at different points in time, the brightness of his glow is different.
More than a thousand people resisted the attacks of nearly 10,000 people, and they all belonged to the Bashu county soldiers. No matter how capable Zhang Wei had to command troops, it would probably not exceed three times at most, and Jiameng Pass would be captured.
Zhang Wei could already predict the result, but he still had to stay here, because on the battlefield, escaping before the battle was a death sentence.
The night gradually passed, and when the black began to gradually dissipate, Zhang Wei shook his head and stood up from the ground, looking at the black crowd that was approaching again under the city gate.
Zhang Weichang breathed a breath of turbid air, "I promised to do it all day, but the time has not yet arrived yet. Are you going to attack the city?"
"Just!" Li Yi, who was leading the way, looked at Zhang Wei confidently, "I just set up a formation to tell you that when the time comes, if you don't open the door, I will attack the city!"
"I understand, I think you are brave and brave, and I wonder if you dare to report your name?" Yesterday, Zhang Wei didn't even know who the other party was.
"Let you die clearly, Li Yi, deputy general of Guanghan County, will be able to surrender quickly if you are smart, and I can spare you even if you don't die!"
He ignored Li Yi, but Zhang Wei turned his head and looked at Zhu Gui beside him, "Have you heard of this person?"
After thinking silently for a moment, it seemed to be searching in my memory. After a long time, Zhu Gui's face suddenly changed and he said in surprise: "When Liu Yizhou first entered Bashu, he had killed dozens of powerful men, one of which was the Li family. I wonder if it was him!"
Zhu Gui likes to write books and write articles, so he has read all the records of prefectures and counties. Therefore, he suddenly contacted this matter. But when he heard him say this, Jiameng Guan Wei shook his head and said, "Then Li Quan has a son named Li Fu, who now lives in Zitong County. I have never heard of him as Li Yi."
Zhang Wei frowned slightly, and Zhang Wei just asked casually, but unexpectedly he also involved Liu Yan's debt of killing that year. He thought silently, after a long time, Zhang Wei suddenly opened his head wide, and he thought of something that scared him. What would have happened if Li Fu from Zitong knew that there were rebellious soldiers in Jiameng Pass rebellion and deliberately concealed it without reporting it?
His breathing gradually became rapid, and the more he thought about it, the more nervous Zhang Wei became.
Time flies in tension and waiting. Finally, the time came to the agreed point yesterday. Mianzhu still had no news. Zhang Wei and Zhu Gui gave up waiting, held the sword in their hands and looked down at the city.
"The time is here, are you still unwilling to open the door?" Li Yi raised his sword and asked. Seeing that there was no response from the upper floor, Li Yi immediately shouted: "Siege the city!"
After saying that, the densely packed Bashu soldiers behind him rushed forward. Standing on the Guanlou and looking at the enemy troops who were attached to him, Zhang Wei's heart was also trembling, "Shot arrows! Thunderstones rolled wood to stop the rebels from climbing!"
"Swish swish swish!" A large number of arrows shot out from Guanlou, but it was like drizzle falling into the lake. It only caused a little ripples and quickly returned to the calm.
Nearly 10,000 Bashu soldiers were still approaching Guancheng one after another.
"Boom!" The rolling stone, Mimu was pushed down from the city of Guan, killing many rebels, but it only hindered for a while. After the subsequent soldiers were added, the siege soldiers began to continue climbing upwards.
"Water the tincture!" Seeing that a large number of rebels were still climbing towards the city, Zhang Wei finally shouted out his final defense method.
The hot tincture oil was poured down along the battlements of Guanlou. After the climbing rebels touched the tincture oil, they all screamed and fell. A large number of climbing soldiers began to fall from the middle of the Guan wall. Even the rebels below were injured and burned.
The flames quickly spread down the city tower, and countless rebels were trapped in the sea of fire, unable to escape, and screams were everywhere.
In the rear, Li Yi saw that he could no longer attack, so he immediately ordered to withdraw his troops and prepare for the second round of offensive. On the way to the wall, Zhang Wei also breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the rebels retreating like a tide.
"Public Ze, can we wait for rescue before they attack next time?"
After a long silence, Zhang Wei did not answer Zhu Gui. He didn't know how to answer. After all, he had already had 70% of his thoughts in his heart, believing that reinforcements would not come to Mianzhu.
Looking down, Zhang Wei spoke in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer, maybe you can wait for reinforcements!"
"According to my words, I will lead the troops out and kill the rebellious commander, and disrupt them!" At that moment, Jiameng's commander said hatefully.
Everyone looked at Zhang Wei, but he didn't speak.
At this time, outside Chengdu
A team of nearly two thousand cavalrymen quickly galloped northeast after leaving the city gate. The leader was a young general holding a sword in his hand. The white horse under his crotch was very impressive and also eye-catching.
Seeing the cavalry leaving, the smoke and dust raised up in the sky, among the two people standing on the city tower at this time, a handsome young man spoke quietly, "If Zhang Gongqi had not mentioned that his younger brother was still in Jiameng Pass, I would have almost forgotten more than 10,000 county soldiers from Yangping Pass!"
"It was only at this time that I was able to rush to rescue Ling Ming, and I wonder if I could still get there." At that moment, the scholar beside the young man said quietly.
