Chapter 290: Support Hangu Pass
After parting with Ma Teng, Wu Shun returned to Chang'an City with the victorious army and 20,000 Xiliang infantrymen.
Fa Zheng had been waiting outside the city for a long time, and Hangu Pass and Linyuan asked for help at the same time, so he couldn't make a decision!
"Master, you are back."
Seeing the flags in the distance like forests, Fa Zheng was less anxious.
In addition to asking for help from Chang'an, Linyuan also asked for help from Wuxi. The main thing we have to worry about now is Hangu Pass!
As long as Hangu Pass is broken, the coalition of princes will have no barriers along the way!
"Welcome the lord to return in triumphant success!"
Wu Shun came to the city gate and Fa Zheng preached his rituals.
"Yuan Zhi, it seems that you have a bad face, but you didn't sleep well last night?"
Seeing Fa Zheng holding his two panda eyes, Wu Shun sighed a little. It was really hard to fight, it depends on how to torture his military advisor.
"Lord, Hangu Pass asked for help. Cao Cao's coalition forces took turns to attack day and night. Until now, the soldiers guarding the pass were very tired. Although Cao Cao's coalition forces were more casualties, our soldiers in Hangu Pass were only 40,000 after all! The materials for defending the city were consumed hugely and needed timely replenishment!"
Fa Zheng followed Wu Shun and said while walking, feeling really anxious.
"How is Linyuan? Liu Biao dispatched an army of 150,000! Only the Xuanwu Legion and 20,000 naval troops guarding Linyuan City!"
Hangu Pass is in danger. Although it is critical, it is unlikely that Cao Cao will break through for a while.
Linyuan was Wu Shun's former lair and the place where the Wuling Army came out. It cannot be discarded easily.
"General Wen and General Gan have repelled the Jingzhou army's attacks several times. The navy is not bad. General Gan relies on the advantage of water conservancy, and there is no danger for the time being, but Linyuan City is shaking!"
This is the most dangerous situation encountered by the Wuling Army. If it weren't for the insufficient troops in Chang'an, Fa Zheng would have sent troops to support him.
"Wenpin is the best at defending, who can make him so embarrassed?"
Wu Shun made a decision after careful consideration to let Wenpin stay in Wuling. With the 20,000 elite troops of the Xuanwu Legion, it would be difficult for even a 200,000 army to capture Linyuan City.
Linyuan City has been continuously strengthened and raised over the years, not to mention that the people in the city have spontaneous help.
"General Wen could defend himself, but later Liu Bei joined, which made General Wenpin run away. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were brave enough to fight with ten thousand enemies. Unfortunately, General Guan Hai was hit by Huang Zhong's arrow and his life was in danger..."
Fa Zheng said to himself, but did not notice that Wu Shun's expression became more and more serious.
It’s Liu Bei again!
It's really a terrible Xiaoqiang!
The battle situation in Linyuan City was severe, and Wu Shun was willing to go back to support him, but unfortunately Chang'an was too far away from Linyuan. He was afraid that time would not be able to catch up, and Hangu Pass also needed support.
For a moment, the battle between the two places made Wu Shun even more troubled.
"Lord, General Wen has asked Wuxi for help."
Seeing Wu Shun frowning, Fa Zheng quickly said. He was careless just now and missed this.
"Oh? With Wuxi support, Wuling County will be worry-free. Our army should concentrate its forces and counterattack the Cao Cao coalition army!"
Wen Pin is quite smart and knows to ask Wuximan for help. Wu Shun knows that he has chosen the right person. Even if Wuxi doesn't give him face, he will send troops for the sake of Tian Qian'er and Shi Zhongyu.
"Lord, are you entering the city now?"
The situation was tense, and the Wuling army led by Wu Shun returned victoriously and had not been properly repaired yet.
"If you don't enter the city, you will leave Chang'an to Xiaozhi." Wu Shun once again handed Chang'an to Fa Zheng, and the rear must be responsible.
As long as the dispatch of food, grass and weapons, the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of people is not possible for ordinary people.
"The whole army obeys the order! Race to Hangu Pass!"
Wu Shun ordered loudly.
"yes!"
The soldiers of the Wuling Army did not diminish their fighting spirit at all.
Just after defeating Han Sui, the Wuling Army only launched a night attack, which was not too tired. So Wu Shun ordered immediate support.
If it is slow and Cao Cao breaks through Hangu Pass, it will be a bad idea. Wu Shun has no confidence in fighting in the open area, and he can fight against Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Sun Ce.
...
At Hangu Pass, Dongfang Qiang stood proudly with his sword. No matter how Cao Cao's coalition forces all out, he could not shake Hangu Pass.
"At this time, you will be able to hold on to such an uninterrupted attack, regardless of casualties!"
The Zhuque Camp lost more than 5,000 people in the defense these days. Xu Shu brought about 10,000 casualties in the ordinary Hanzhong legion.
This shameless fighting style caused heavy losses to the Wuling Army! But Cao Cao and the others suffered even greater losses.
Generally, the casualties ratio of the city guard and the siege is about 1:5! However, under the command of Dongfangqiang and Xu Shu, the ratio reaches 1:8. One casualties and one casualties on the Wuling Army will be killed or injured, and eight casualties will be killed or injured by Cao Cao’s coalition!
The land under Hangu Pass has been permeated with blood, like a blood-colored swamp!
Once the coalition forces launch an attack, layers of corpses will be covered with layers of corpses under Hangu Pass! Endless blood will gather in the blood-colored swamp again.
"General, the stone bullet is gone!"
A soldier reported to Dongfangqiang.
Stone bullets are those stones as big as millstones that have been polished into round shapes. Before firing, soldiers will first apply grease and then light it up.
"Go down!"
The stone bomb is gone, and Dongfang Qiang doesn't care much about this.
The biggest function of the fire bomb is to shock the enemy, followed by attacking the enemy's large-scale siege equipment. In terms of killing and injury, a stone bomb can't kill many people. It's just that the scene is too bloody and shocking, and the soldiers you see with your own eyes can spit out all the things in your stomach!
"Undefeated General, go and have a rest, and stick to it all night."
Xu Shu came to Dongfang Qiang and said, "They can only use the interval time of the coalition attack to change defense."
Since Cao Cao decided to take turns to attack, Dongfangqiang and Xu Shu have already formulated rotational wits. One of them is responsible for the daytime defense and the other is responsible for the nighttime defense.
After so many days of cooperation, the tacit understanding between the two became higher and higher. Xu Shu also began to call Dongfang Qiang the undefeated general!
"The defense during the day is handed over to the military advisor."
After persisting for a night, Dongfangqiang was already very tired. Although he did not need to participate in killing the enemy, his mind had to take into account the entire battlefield. As long as there were any mistakes in one place, the enemy might rush up.
I was nervous for a night, and no one could withstand the fatigue from the depths of my brain.
"Haha, when the lord defeats Han Sui and Ma Teng, it is time for us to counterattack. With the lord's character, I must have defeated the Xiliang army. The general must be well prepared."
The Xiliang cavalry is powerful, but the heavy cavalry is even more powerful! Not to mention that there are still ten thousand Qinglong cavalry, Xu Shu firmly believes in Wu Shun's ability to lead troops.
"This is naturally. After being pressed and beaten for so many days, the soldiers are full of anger."
Once Wu Shun's support arrives, it will be time for Cao Cao and the others to be in trouble.
Dongfang Qiang knew that Wu Shunai's nurses would be his wife. If he knew that 15,000 soldiers were killed or injured in Hangu Pass, he would not know if he would be locked up his small dark room.
Not to mention the punishment, our side suffered heavy casualties and would definitely anger Wu Shun. This anger was the first to burn Cao Cao and the others.
What happened to the Wuling Army taking Chang'an? You have to form a coalition force?
"Military advisor, the coalition forces are about to attack, and it's Lu Bu's turn next time. Military advisors should be careful of Lu Bu."
Lu Bu went on the battle himself, and his power was three points better than Zhang Xiong. If he didn't mobilize a large number of archers to shoot him, no one could limit him.
This peerless martial god made great casualties for the Wuling Army. Because of his power, the morale of the coalition forces was greatly boosted!
"Don't worry, General, Xu Shu knows how to deal with it!"
