When the Jiange was closed, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
The night attack finally came to an end.
While Shi Dakai was delighted, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
What they did was like a bear stealing honey. Although they succeeded in one trick, they completely offended the bees.Although many enemy soldiers were beheaded in this night's fight, Guan Yu's character would never retreat, and he would dispatch more soldiers and horses to attack again.
After tonight, the battle Jiange will face will be even more dangerous.
Just thinking about it, the soldiers next to him pointed to the sword pavilion and shouted loudly: "The king is back, if you don't open it quickly, when will you wait?"
Above the pass, it is quiet, only the cry of the warbler in the wilderness.
After half a sound, the Jiange closed, but there was still no movement.
Shi Dakai was a little strange, and was about to go up to call the door himself, when suddenly above the pass, flames shot up into the sky, and a big flag appeared on the pass.
"Qi, it's Qi's handsome flag!" A soldier with good eyes pointed at the big flag on the pass and said in surprise.
Shi Da was even more terrified in his heart.
This place is among the mountains, where did the Qi army come from?Could it be that the Qi army came from Shuzhong?
But soon, Shi Dakai denied this idea.
The land in the middle of Shu is far away, even if you want to go there, you still need to borrow a road from Chu State and pass through Badong to enter Shu.This road is thousands of miles away, it is impossible for the Qi army to do such a thing.
The only explanation is that the Qi army has been following the Han army and browsing the Qinling Mountains.Seeing them fighting with the Han army, he took the opportunity to attack his own pass while he was out of the pass at night.
"A certain General Zhang Xun and General Shi of the Qi State, I have been waiting for you here for a long time under the order of the governor. All your men have already surrendered. I advise you not to sacrifice the lives of your soldiers in vain. Put down your weapons and surrender!"
"How despicable you are to sneak up on my pass, and now you want me to surrender, dreaming!"
Zhang Xun said with a sneer: "As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. There is no written statement in this world that our Qi army can't steal the city pass from you. The general and the Han army fought so hard that the last general admired him. I think you are all exhausted, so you should put down your weapons early. Enter the customs. My general said that he admires King Yi's ability and is willing to conspire with King Yi for great things!"
Shi Dakai was about to refute, but he saw these soldiers beside him from the corner of his eye.
These people are brothers who have lived and died with him.There was a bloody battle just now, and the loss was not small. Even if they survived by luck, everyone would be injured.Continue to fight, they are really powerless.
Besides, they are the most clear about the strength of the Jiange.Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops could do nothing, let alone such a little tired army.
If they attack by force, these soldiers will follow him even if they know they will die.But dragging them down to Huangquan together like this is really a betrayal of the kindness of the brothers. Thinking of this, Shi Dakai felt relieved, threw the knife in his hand aside, and looked up at the Jiange to close it.
"General Zhang, Mr. Shi is a warrior who knows that loyalty comes first. Now we have no home to return to, so we can only go back to Jiange Pass. If the general wants to kill, kill me alone. Please let these brothers of mine go."
As he spoke, Shi Dakai kowtowed heavily on the ground.
"Your Majesty!" All the soldiers of the Taiping Army burst into tears.
At the moment of life and death, you can see what is true and what is false.
"Shi Dakai is really a man. He is worthy of being praised by His Majesty. Hurry up and enter the city. Food and drink are ready for you!"
The gate of the Jiange opens, Xue Rengui wears silver armor and rides out alone to welcome Shi Dakai.
The two hit it off and were honest with each other.
Xue Rengui, as the coach, is willing to risk the danger and ride out of the city alone to welcome Shi Dakai. This kind of courage also makes Shi Dakai shine.
In addition, at this moment, Shi Dakai also knew that the general situation was over, and continuing to fight would only increase losses in vain, and finally surrendered to Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui admired Shi Dakai's bravery, and the two became brothers.Shi Dakai also helped Xue Rengui quickly gather the hearts of the soldiers in the Jiange, and took them for his own use, winning tens of thousands of troops.
Chapter 844
After resting for a whole day, Guan Yu's injury improved. After boosting morale, he finally assembled an army again to attack Jiange Pass.
But when they arrived at the pass, tens of thousands of soldiers were all dumbfounded and their morale was shaken.
At this moment, the open space in front of Jiange Pass, which could have been used as a temporary garrison for the army, is now full of horse traps, rocks, and criss-cross ditches. The ditches are densely filled with bamboo thorns, which is daunting, and it is impossible to deploy troops. , also unable to garrison.
What surprised Guan Yu the most was the gate wall of Jiange Pass. When Shi Dakai was stationed in the past, although there was an aura of one man guarding the gate, ten thousand men could not open it, but at least it was possible to break it with heavy troops.
But at the Jiange Pass right now, not only has the wall been raised, making the original five-foot-high wall become six feet, but the top is also covered with arrow holes, and countless sharp antlers stick out of the wall.With such a posture, the ladder Guan Yu brought was of no use at all. Even if he wanted to attack the city, he could only use trebuchets and bows and arrows.
But under this distance, even if you use these, either the height is not enough, or the range is limited, it is impossible to break through the city.
Even if Guan Yu can slowly clear the battlefield in front of the pass, slowly advance.But the enemy above the pass can attack at any time.The most aggrieved thing is that I have no way to deal with them at all, so I can only support myself in the prison and be beaten.
The Guan Ping brothers were also dazzled by the overlapping fortifications and defense methods.Guan Ping couldn't help exclaiming: "It's only a few days, how did Shi Dakai complete these fortifications?"
If it was in the past, Guan Yu probably wouldn't understand it either.
But after that night of fighting, he knew exactly what enemy he was facing.These people are absolutely insane.
To fight them, you must show 12 points of energy, otherwise it will be a dead end.
With Shi Dakai calling there, the people in Shuzhong in the pass will definitely give up their lives to help.
With Shi Dakai's prestige in Zitong Mianzhu generation, as long as he raises his arms, it is enough to make a large number of people flock to him.A large number of people will all support him, the rich will contribute money, some will contribute people, and the powerful will contribute their own efforts.
The bluestones needed to raise the pass wall were picked by the people from the mountains.If it wasn't for the narrowness of the Jiange Pass and the difficulty of passing huge trees, Shi Dakai was confident that the Jiange Pass would become higher and bigger.
Seeing the crystallization of the perseverance of these Yizhou soldiers and civilians, Guan Ling approached her father for help and said, "The enemy is like this. We don't even have a place to camp. Father, what should we do?"
Guan Yu is also helpless in the face of such complicated fortifications, but at this moment he must not retreat.Thinking of that yellow-mouthed kid in Hanzhong, Guan Yu couldn't swallow his breath.
"Leave here first, retreat five miles, and the army will be stationed first. As for these ditches and horse pits, we can only wait for the soldiers to fill them up with soil, and it will not be too late to attack."
The Guan Ping brothers were also a little downcast, but they had no choice but to issue an order to retreat in the face of Xiongguan.
"Long live!" Seeing that the Han army retreated slowly before firing an arrow in order to move forward, the sword pavilion was closed, cheers thundered, and gongs and drums blared.The morale of the soldiers inside the city was high, while the morale of the Han army outside the city was even lower.
Seeing the Han army retreating slowly, Shi Dakai looked at Xue Rengui next to him and said, "Brother, do you think Guan Yu will retreat in spite of difficulties?"
Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with Guan Yu, but I don't think this person's knowledge will recede at this time!"
Shi Dakai nodded, agreeing with what the other party said.
"This time, I was entrusted by the king to completely occupy the land of Yizhou and quell the war in this place. I wonder if my brother has any suggestions?"
Shi Dakai smiled awkwardly and said: "To tell you the truth, brother, Sichuan and Sichuan are different from the outside world, and it is really difficult to unify them!"
Although Xue Rengui didn't have much contact with Shi Dakai, he also knew that he was a rare general.Seeing him say so, he immediately became interested.
"First of all, the factions in Shu are complicated. In addition to Zhu Wen who occupies Chengdu, Yang Xiuqing from Bajun in the east, Li Keyong from Hanjia in the west, and Huang Chao who is close to Nanzhong, there are also complicated factions. The aristocratic family and the rogues are divided into one side. If you lead an army to attack one person, the others will definitely stand on the sidelines; but if the flames of war spread too much, other princes will definitely attack in groups. At that time, it will not be easy to deal with a pack of wolves."
When Xue Rengui heard the words, a few traces of sadness also appeared on his face.
