Chapter 266 Unsealing and Breaking(2/2)
You should know that South Korea is the lowest-ranking country among the seven major warring countries, and its national strength does not allow South Korea to build a complete line of defense in all directions.
After comprehensive consideration, all the Han monarchs of all dynasties chose to invest a lot of resources in the Han-Qin and Han-Qin borders to build defense lines. The Han-Wei border, which is mostly "people" most of the time, is basically dealing with the things.
Anyway, Yuguan is only a few dozen miles away from the capital of South Korea, Xinzheng. If the Wei people really come here, it doesn’t matter whether Yuguan is guarding or not. Just let the Wei army come in and use the tall city defense of Xinzheng City to resist it.
Judging from the past few decades, this has indeed been a very right decision.
Until today.
The defenders of Yu Pass had obviously noticed the arrival of a large number of Zhao cavalry. Beacon smoke had already been lit on the outposts on both sides of the hills, and the relay was heading towards the southwest. At the end of these beacons, Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.
Xinzheng is not far from Yu Pass. If the Koreans send reinforcements as soon as possible, they would have been able to arrive with a light marching day and night.
Lian Po grinned, turned his head subconsciously, and then paused.
The old partner Zhao She is no longer here, but is on the side of Qifeng City.
"I wonder if this guy Zhao She was blocked by the Qin army? I guess he should have stopped him, otherwise he should have been here by counting the time. I'm not lucky, Lao Zhao."
Lian Po sighed first, then laughed.
"At that time, the king asked me and Zhao She to choose a route each. The facts proved that I was right!"
On that day, Zhao He's decision was actually very simple, which was to divide his troops into two groups and encircle Yuguan from both directions of Nan (Qifeng) and North (Zhongmu).
Moreover, Zhao He made it clear at that time that these two divisions of troops might be blocked or even annihilated by the Qin army, and it might be completely unobstructed and unexpectedly broke through the Qin army's defense line and went straight outside Yu Pass.
It seems that luck is more favorable to Lian Po.
Although he is an old partner, this does not mean that Lian Po, who is extremely eager to win, is willing to be taken over by Zhao She.
Among the two, Lian Po was the leader of Zhao She as deputy. This time, Lian Po also wanted to let his old friends know that this general is the well-deserved boss!
Lian Po stopped hesitating and said to the captain of the guard beside him: "You can change your clothes immediately and be a bomb thrower!"
A moment later, Lian Po led his army to launch an attack.
The sound of horse hooves of tens of thousands of cavalry was earth-shaking. However, due to the limitations of the terrain, most of the cavalry gradually slowed down after rushing to about two or three miles, and only thousands of cavalry continued to charge.
The front of Yu Pass is only enough for a few thousand cavalry to unfold.
What is very striking is that at the forefront of the Zhao army's cavalry were hundreds of soldiers of the Dragon Horse Army fully armed and heavily armored.
The Korean crossbowmen on the wall did not hesitate and shot out crossbow arrows. Many crossbow arrows shot densely into the soldiers of the Longxiang Army. However, they were completely useless under the strong steel armor. Only a few unlucky unlucky people happened to be unstable in the center of gravity and were shocked by the huge kinetic energy of the crossbow arrows.
There were actually not many Korean defenders in Yu Pass, and they were only over 2,000 in full swing. Among them, there were only five or six hundred crossbowmen. The Longxiang Army acted as a wave of flesh shields in the front and absorbed most of the arrow rain. The light cavalry of the Zhao State behind them were only three or two kittens, so the damage caused to the Zhao army's cavalry was minimal after a round of arrow rain, which was really shocking.
Lian Po was laughing loudly, suddenly his pupils shrank and he lowered his head subconsciously.
"Dangdang!" Several arrows hit Lian Po in steel armor one after another, and two of them also shot his helmets, making Lian Po's scalp numb.
Behind him, many screams began to sound, and the Zhao cavalry were all dismissed.
Lian Po looked up and found that a black flag was erected at some point on Yuguan!
