It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.
Yizhou is a mountainous terrain, and it is difficult to have a foothold in the mountains.
The mountains have created so many valleys that even the locals don't know which valley roads will be accessible and which ones will be blocked.
The mountain is a rocky mountain, many of the rocks are bare and exposed in the soil, some of the stones even look very large and strangely shaped, and there are even huge rocks that seem to fall down the mountain if you touch them slightly, but no matter how you touch the boulders, you can't fall down.
The road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong is actually relatively easy to walk, and the plan of the Han army led by Huan Wen is to take the old road opened up in Qin, all the way to take the Lianyun plank road, and the other way to take the Bao slope road.
Lianyun plank road is Qin Huiwen Wang Ying's surname, Zhao's family, the name of the Shu period was established, the then Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi and the Qin army general Sima Cuo is to lead the Qin army from the Lianyun plank road to the south, first into Hanzhong and then attack Shu.
The slope existed in the early days, and it was expanded and repaired to a certain extent during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, and the host was Zhang Yi, the prime minister of the Qin State at that time, and a more famous thing happened later, that is, Fan Sui entered Qin and walked on the slope, and then Fan Sui had the right to be capricious and specially processed the slope.
Whether it is Lianyun Plank Road or Bao Chuan Road, in fact, it was burned during the Chu and Han Dynasty conflicts, and the background story can be found from the "Liu Bang Burning Plank Road", which has been built again during Liu Bang's trip out of Sichuan, and you can also find relevant information from the story of "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang".
After Liu Bang successfully went out of Sichuan, in order to connect Shudi, Badi, Hanzhong and Guanzhong, he did not abandon the maintenance of several plank roads, and the plank roads were still used in the Western Jin Dynasty.
The two Han armies set off in the drizzle, the whole army wore robes and hats, and the figures of the soldiers stretched from this end of the mountain to the end of the mountain that did not know how many mountains, and the place where the plank road broke along the way had to be stopped and repaired, and the speed of the march was not fast.
Many sections of the plank road are leaning on the cliffs, during which there are a lot of rivers and streams, and if you are not careful, you will either fall off the cliff or fall into the flowing water, because the relationship is too narrow, it is naturally impossible to drive the carriage, and the baggage is carried by the back of people and livestock camels.
The marching speed of the Han army on both sides was not fast, and the forwards of the two sides met at the intersection of the plank road after walking for more than 20 days, and they faced the defenders of the Cheng Han army of the Li clan, who had already made a defensive posture.
The first point of Lee's Chenghan was at the intersection of Lianyun Plank Road and Bao Chuan Road.
The plank road is actually no longer a cliff or near a river or stream, but a direct entry into the valley from a high place, with a dense green jungle on both sides, the valley looks narrow and the mountain looks very steep, it is indeed a good node to hold.
The Han army that had just arrived was about 4,000, and what they saw at a glance was a Guancheng built of stone, the height should be about two zhang, and the color of the stone should have been built not long ago, and the banner of the Li Chenghan was fluttering above the city, and there were dense soldiers standing, and the ears heard the trembling sound of sheep's horns.
The width of the valley is limited, and it is difficult for the number of people standing side by side to exceed 100, so it means that no more than 100 people are allowed to charge side by side on the road at a time.
Not only does it look narrow, but the ground looks uneven, and many large and small stones and fine stone particles are piled up all over the road, and it is not ordinarily difficult to form a tight formation.
The Han army who had just come down from the plank road looked very tired, they stopped far away, they should eat dry food, drink water, the sound of swallowing and drinking water on the scene was very frequent, and there must be the sound of armor, shields, and weapons bumping.
The defenders who stood above the fortress looked to be very busy, a large number of soldiers carried wood and stones back and forth, and on the edge of the female wall stood three columns of archers.
Behind the city gate, there were too many shouts and answers, which made it sound very chaotic, and the soldiers were also whispering in a heap, and if there were too many sounds, it would become a collection of "buzzing".
"It's finally here."
Yang Xu is the captain of the Chenghan city of the Li clan, he has long been notified that the Han army will come, and from the moment he receives the news, he has always been highly prepared for war.
He stood in Guancheng, pressing the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand and the female wall made of stone with the other, looking at the Han army in the distance, and said to his lieutenant: "Strictly guard against death, so that not a single Han soldier can climb the top of the city" The nameless Guancheng has two thousand defenders of the Li family Chenghan, and the reason why it is the nameless Guancheng is that there is more than one such one, and there are more than ten Guancheng piled up with stones in the back, but the places where they are located are different.
A desolate trumpet sounded suddenly, so loud that it could reverberate through the valley.
The Han army had its own movements, that is, I don't know how many Han soldiers scattered into the mountains and forests, and after a while, you could see the trees falling continuously.
The plank road is narrow and difficult to pass, so it is naturally impossible to carry siege equipment, and even things like ladders cannot be brought, so you can only build it by hand when you reach the ground.
I don't know how long later, there was another horn sound, and the finished ladder was taken to the front by the Han soldiers, and before the Li Shicheng Han soldiers on the Guancheng side saw how many there were, some Han soldiers with big shields began to line up, they roared something, and heavy footsteps began to sound neatly.
"The tower shield soldiers open the way, and the strong crossbowmen follow."
Liu Rui was born in the Qin army of the Ran clan, he was a partial general before he was recruited, and after becoming a military marquis in the Han army, he was promoted to captain after the first battle of Chaoge, and was responsible for presiding over the forward operation.
The corners of his mouth hooked up into a cruel smile, and said: "When attacking the city, the strong crossbow is diffused to destroy the morale of the defenders first. ” Heavy footsteps kept approaching Sekijo, not advancing in a neat formation shoulder to shoulder, but by the stones on the road.
They came to a halt when they were about 180 paces away from the castle, and the sound of bangzi behind them was loud, followed by the sound of the bowstrings constantly rattling, and one after another crossbow arrows were fired out of the crossbow and fell in mid-air.
On the Guancheng, because the Han army did not get close to the range of the bow and arrow, the defenders of the Li Cheng Han were in a state of drawing their bows and arrows, they were waiting with their breath, but what they were waiting for was not the Han army rushing up to attack the city, it was the dense crossbow arrows that fell with a sharp whistling, and the screams of each other were endless in an instant.
Shu road is difficult, difficult to enter and difficult to get out, Li Cheng Han has a natural defensive advantage, most of the army has no experience in dealing with foreign enemies in Shu all the year round, it is very clear that the understanding of the newly rising Han army is not enough, and the layout of defense is inevitably with traditional thinking, ignoring the strong crossbow of the Han army.
Wave after wave, each time there are about a thousand crossbows at the same time to pull the trigger and be launched, a thousand crossbow arrows are covered, and soon the Guancheng side can be used as a crossbow arrow force point of the place to insert densely, under the pass and inside is full of crossbow arrows, a few of the dead defenders are covered with corpses all over the ground, the dead defenders are either dodging or running around.
"How can it be so much worse than Zhao Jun" Liu Rui was not arrogant, he looked at the Li Cheng Han soldier who was running around with disdain and was shot over, and said: "Zhao Jun at least knows that running around under the dense arrow array will be dead." ” The soldiers of the Li clan actually knew that they would die if they ran around.
It's one thing for people to think about what to do when they're panicked, and it's another thing for the body to react, and that's the main reason why people want to move but can't move when they're scared.
They just can't control it and want to run and run, and they have to let out a frightened scream, and if they don't do it, it's worse than death.
The Han army's arrow array coverage lasted for about two quarters of an hour, and there was no standing figure on the gate and no arrows stopped, it was the tower shield soldiers who continued to advance, and the strong crossbowmen fired while advancing and gave up a certain amount of space to both sides, so that the robe carrying the ladder could advance.
The newly built ladders were still very wet, they were roped out of them, and some of the branches and leaves had not even been removed.
One after another climbing ladders were lifted and smashed heavily on the city wall under the cooperation of several people, and then watched the nimble and light Han soldiers begin to climb, even the strong crossbowmen who were already climbing the rear did not stop firing crossbow arrows, but the shooting range was over the gate and backwards, much like a kind of artillery gradual coverage, mainly to interfere with and block the enemy troops in the rear.
Xiaodouzi should be the first to successfully climb the city, he is biting the back of the war knife with his teeth and then jumping onto the female wall with both hands clasped on the stone wall, just standing firmly and seeing the body shrunk into a ball hiding behind the female wall An enemy soldier, when jumping off the female wall, he has already picked up the war knife that was originally bitten in the mouth with his hand in mid-air, and he didn't even think about slashing it after landing.
Of course, the Han defenders of the Li clan, who were shrunk into a ball, saw the Han soldiers enter the city, his eyes widened, his eyes were full of horror, and he watched the immature-faced Han soldier jump up, land, and swing his knife, and a piece of blood appeared in his eyes, and then he fell into darkness forever.
Xiaodouzi is not at all pitiful and frightened and then killed by the enemy soldiers, on the battlefield, you kill me and I kill you, either you die or I die, go to the battlefield and charge, at that time there is no need to have other ideas, anyway, do your best to kill people who are different from yourself, there are too many thoughts are looking for death.
The Li Cheng Han defenders hiding behind the female wall are not small, they are crowded with people and shrink into a pile, and the Han soldiers who climb the city do not hesitate to wave their swords after seeing them, and there will be no pity or mercy.
Liu Rui glanced at more than a dozen of his soldiers carrying giant trees against the city gate, and then looked at the first battle above the Guancheng, which invaded the Li clan's Chenghan, which seemed to be far more relaxed than he thought before The city gate collapsed with a loud bang, followed by the Han soldiers who rushed up into the city gate hole, and soon fierce shouts of killing appeared in the city.

On the city wall, the flags belonging to the Li family and the Han dynasty were cut down one after another and replaced with the Han army flags, and the "Han" flag with a lishu written in red on a black background was fluttering in the wind.
Yang Xu retreated to the rear at the first time, he was now standing on the mountainside on the side of the valley, a little stunned and looking incomprehensibly in the direction of Guancheng, where a blue soldier was being overwhelmed by a red soldier on the top and black on the bottom.
"That's not right" Yang Xu could find that his voice was very dry: "When you fight barbarians, aren't you quite able to fight?"
The Li Cheng Han is a Di regime, their geographical location determines one thing, the battle with the Nanban will be far more than the Central Plains, and the Li Cheng Han is actually very easy to fight head-on when cleaning up the Nanban, what I am afraid of is that the Nanban relies on complex mountains to fight guerrillas.
About sixty percent of the soldiers of the Li clan who were sticking to this pass should have been transferred to the north from the Nanban battlefield in the rear, but the troops who could fight well in Yang Xu's eyes were so vulnerable to the Han army that their minds were blank.
I have to say that the Nanban is not purely a contempt, it is a tribe of savages who cover their bodies with blades of grass, and hold either pure wooden sticks or sharp stones in their hands, except for a few leaders, there are no metal weapons at all.
Li Cheng Han was more or less a member of a civilized society, organized, organized, and armed superiority, and fought against the unorganized, undisciplined, and barbarian in the barbarian era, and the fight was still head-to-head, and it seemed to take it for granted that there were more victories and fewer defeats Now Li's strong army of Cheng Han is encountering another Han army that is better organized, more disciplined, and more complete in weapons and armor than them, it is very similar to the roles have been reversed, and it is natural to be taught how to behave.
Yang Xu quickly faced up to the gap between the two sides, did not grit his teeth and desperately wanted to hold the city, let alone counterattack, but saved his troops as much as possible and let the troops retreat.
In the panic, the Li family became Han soldiers, they had retreated before they got the order, and they were caught by the Han army and covered all the way, until the battle site reached the edge of the cottage, and the Han army had to retreat.
Guancheng changed hands faster than anyone expected, but this was not the end, it was the Han army that captured Guancheng and immediately discovered that there were cottages on the mountainside on both sides of the valley.
It is a cottage, built on the halfway up the mountain, and what you can go up is a winding and narrow path, and the slope is not easy to climb.
The Han army made a tentative attempt, and only slightly approached the cottage and fired a dense number of arrows.
The cottage has a height advantage, with the height you can master the range advantage of the bow and arrow, the cottage on both sides can take advantage of the bow and arrow to block the valley, even if the Han army has a strong crossbow, you have to enter the range of the defender to counterattack.
"The trail can't form a shield array to advance" Liu Rui worked hard to observe the terrain, and after observing, he felt that the defenders here were very smart, and when he saw that the city was not enough to defend, he gave up, and saved more soldiers and retreated to the cottage.
He ordered the scouts: "Check if there are any other roads to attack the cottage." ” Naturally, the scout took the order and left.
At this time, the sky is very unbeautiful, just now it was still sunny and windy, but in the blink of an eye, it was cloudy, the first drop of rain fell, and the next moment was a downpour:
