Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 316
On the majestic and majestic pass, arrows were splashed like rain, and people kept rolling down from the ladders and arrow towers, and the sound of fighting resounded through the sky for a while.

Standing between the walls, Shen Zhezi kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows at the invading enemies under the pass.At this time, there is no need to consider the problem of accuracy. Instead, the test is arm strength. Even if you can't hit the target, you can still suppress the opponent's offensive momentum.The two arrow pots beside him were shot empty, and his arms were also sore and unbearable, so he could only retreat and take a rest in the small building at the top of the city.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted for nearly an hour. From noon to dusk, Daye shut down the enemy's camp and retreated. The attackers retreated slowly. Both sides sent civilians to clean up the battlefield. It is intended to cause a little trouble to the enemy while covering one's own front.

As early as a few days ago, the Zhang Jian Department of the Liyang Army marched eastward, crossing Langya, Qu'a, and Jurong one after another, and finally stationed outside the Daye Pass. The offensive and defensive battles of similar intensity have been going on for several days, and they are at a stalemate.

Shen Zhezi arrived at Daye Pass the day before yesterday. In addition to bringing reinforcements from the first army, he also brought over the military supplies recently collected by Jingkou.

After the fighting stopped, the soldiers quickly returned to the team, and their respective commanders and lieutenants counted the battle damage and summarized it, and finally submitted it to the supervisor Guo Song, who then arranged for the patrol duties of each song, and then turned to Shen Zhezi report.

Shen Zhezi had already left the small building at this time, and was strolling on the top of the city.He himself has not experienced many military affairs, and even if he has, he has only tasted it. This is the first time he has personally experienced such a serious offensive and defensive tug-of-war.In the battle, there are many bloody scenes of blood splattering and broken arms and throats, but there are not many real blood.

From the commander to the soldiers who fought in the bloody battle, although there was no shortage of passionate roars, when it was implemented in detail, there was a chilling calmness and orderliness.Especially in the midst of it, watching those soldiers shoot and kill the enemy almost mechanically, it makes people feel that this is not a tragic fight, but a normal labor like harvesting seedlings.The disregard for human life is so cruel that it is outrageous.

Shen Zhezi knew very well that similar experiences would never be rare for him in the future. He couldn't appreciate war from an aesthetic point of view, but it was inevitable. Even if he felt uncomfortable, he had to suppress it and get used to it.

Not far in front of him, there was a soldier about his age whose left chest was pierced by a flow arrow, and besides the pain on his childish face, there was still a hint of bewilderment.His chest rose and fell sharply, and short breaths mixed with blood froth continuously spewed out from the corner of his mouth, but his hands and feet were twisted into extremely unnatural arcs.

When he saw Shen Zhezi approaching, he subconsciously turned over and saluted. Shen Zhezi rushed forward and pressed his shoulder: "Don't move, don't move, it's okay!"

The young soldier made a vague rumbling sound from his throat, making it hard to tell what he wanted to say, but more blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"Where's the doctor?"

Shen Zhezi signaled his followers to hold down the boy, stood up and roared angrily.

Two doctors with blood on their linen shirts rushed over quickly, ripping off the front of the young man's shirt roughly, leaving only the corner of the cloth around the arrow cluster.After a little diagnosis, the two seemed to have made a decision. One of them took out the scissors and cut off the arrow feathers and arrow clusters that were exposed before and after. The boy grinned: "Boy, hold on!"

When the boy heard this, his eyes flickered with confusion.

"Press his shoulders and legs!"

Another doctor shouted violently, then clamped the end of the arrow shaft with iron tongs and pulled it hard suddenly, the bloody arrow shaft was pulled out immediately, at the same time, a bloody arrow shot out suddenly!The boy's limbs straightened suddenly, the veins on his forehead popped out, the expression in his eyes quickly dimmed, and the hoarse sound in his throat was extremely hoarse!

Shen Zhezi squatted aside, his eyes froze suddenly when he saw this scene. Affected by the memories of later generations, he thought the boy would howl loudly.However, after seeing this scene, I realized that the pain that really penetrated deep into the bone marrow, people can't shout out.

The other doctor held the ointment in both hands and pressed firmly on the blood hole on the boy's chest and back, but blood still gushed out from between his fingers.The boy's face became paler and paler, his body trembled as if suffering from malaria, and his eyeballs kept rolling up and down.

"I can survive the present, I can survive tonight, and after a short time, I will be another fierce soldier."

Guo Songxing went behind Shen Zhezi, followed his line of sight, and sighed, "If it's in Beidi, we can only cut it off, saving a lot of pain."

As if waking up from a dream, Shen Zhezi suddenly stood up and wandered a few steps away. Wiping the cold sweat off his face, he forced a smile and waved his hands: "I'm fine."

Watching the young man's hands under his sleeves open and clenched unnaturally, Guo Song sighed in his heart, anyone with normal human hobbies would want to see such a horrific scene.Shen Zhezi's endurance was much better than he thought. When he first entered the battle, he only cared about wiping his tears every time, and he dared to wield a sword only after a few months.

Shen Zhezi didn't know what Guo Song was thinking, so he cut off a corner of his shirt and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately felt a bit sticky, and then realized that the corner of his shirt was already wet with blood, don't think his forehead is also blood red now .He laughed at himself, threw the blood-stained cloth in the corner of the wall, and then walked to the wall, looked at the messy battlefield below and frowned: "I saw the previous battle, the enemy was very chaotic, it should not be the elite of Liyang ?”

Guo Songxing went to Shen Zhezi's side and nodded: "Your Majesty's expectations are not bad. In the past few days, there are only two or three attackers who have been armored. They have no basis for advancing or retreating. They are definitely not the main force of Liyang. It should be the young men who have been plundered in recent counties. , was forcibly driven forward to paralyze our army. The chief general Zhang Jian never showed up in Luezhen, so he must be cruising around with his troops looking for a way out."

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he was silent again, looking at the dead bodies lying horizontally below, his mood was extremely complicated.Nowadays, young and strong cows can cultivate more than hectares of good land without missing the farming season, and can produce hundreds of dendrobiums every year.But now, it's just a section of rotting corpses piled up under the wall, death is meaningless.

Daye Pass is majestic and towering but second, because it is built according to the Northland Dock Wall. There is a certain gentle slope at the bottom of the foundation wall, which is nearly ten feet long. On the one hand, it increases the stability of the pass wall, and on the other hand, it creates obstacles for the enemy to attack. Rejecting horses can be placed, but it is also extremely difficult to build a ladder, which can lengthen the battle line to a certain extent and reduce the arrow coverage under the wall.When it is necessary to attack the enemy at night, it is very convenient whether it is to stand out or to respond.

Just this difference in architecture can actually create so many tactical advantages. Shen Zhezi also sincerely admires the wisdom of the ancients in war.But when he thought of how much human life would be paid for such a little architectural change, he couldn't help but laugh.

Daye Xiongguan lies here, and there are continuous mountains on the left and right. Even if there are mountain trails, it is difficult to allow a large number of troops to pass through.People can walk through it, but weapons can't be carried.It can be said that as long as the great cause is not lost, Jingkou will be safe for the time being.Unless the Liyang Department can go south to break through Xuancheng, and then bypass Wuzhong North to enter Beijing.But if this happened, it was absolutely impossible for Jiangzhou to sit idly by, and the Liyang Department would not dare to go deep.

So here at Dayeguan, from construction to deployment, Shen Zhezi has never done anything to others, and his family has a firm grasp of this place.Now that the preparations for the establishment of the Xingtai are in full swing in the capital, Shen Zhezi led his troops here.Up to now, many arrangements in the early stage can be said to have come to an end. Whether the various arrangements can be implemented and exert their effects in the end will ultimately be decided on the battlefield by the winner.

In the next few days, Zhang Jian's department always maintained a dispensable offensive against Daye Pass, but its main force had rushed left and right before Xiongguan, wreaking havoc on all sides, hoping to block the connection between Jingkou and the west.However, how difficult it is, not to mention that Yuzhou Zuyue was fighting frequently with the Hou Zhao army, and had no time to look south.Jiangdong alone is still defending Xuancheng, and Jiangzhou has made frequent moves. Zhang Jian's own army is not too large, so it is absolutely difficult to completely isolate Jingkou.

By mid-March, all parties in the west finally responded.From Jiangzhou, it was Wen Qiao's younger brother Wen Chong and his Sima Wang who came to Jingkou by detouring Wuzhong northward.Later, Wang Jianqi even rushed to Dayeguan to deliver a letter written by Wen Qiao. There was nothing else in the letter. Taiwan expressed support.

Shen Zhezi couldn't help smiling wryly when he saw the letter. With his current position, Wen Qiao didn't have to talk about these things with him seriously.But now he sent his cronies to send such a letter, the meaning behind it was that he hoped that his family would put the national crisis first and not have too much selfishness.

After understanding Wen Qiao's painstaking persuasion, Shen Zhezi didn't mind much.Although he saved Wen Qiao's life, to be honest, they didn't have that kind of close friendship.Just as he dragged Yu Yi to Jingkou instead of Jiangzhou after Yu Liang's death, Wen Qiao now has reservations about his family's trust, which is also human nature.As long as we can guarantee that each other can respond to each other, and we have a tacit understanding of raising troops together to suppress the rebellion, everything else can be discussed in detail after the rebellion is suppressed.

In addition, Wen Qiao did not mention anything about the division of Kuaiji, which also showed his attitude.That's something that doesn't approve of it, but doesn't discourage it either.This attitude of silence is actually a kind of support in itself, because the establishment of East Yangzhou by dividing the state in Kuaiji means cutting off the two counties of Jiangzhou from a geographical point of view, which is also dividing Wenqiao's power.

In addition to Jiangzhou, envoys also arrived in Yongzhou and Xiangzhou.Now Yongzhou is just an overseas Chinese establishment, and its jurisdiction is only in Xiangfan, while Xiangzhou is a vassal of Jingzhou. The envoys sent by these two prefectures are more of a stand, and have little practical significance.The arrival of the envoys from these two states cast a cloud over the originally good situation.Because Jingzhou, which is closer to Jingkou than these two states, lags behind these two states.

　In fact, if I understand this period of history, I should have said it several times, such as this book, should be based on the conception of "Eastern Jin Clan Politics".Mr. Tang Changru's research should be more substantial, but there is no consistent thread.Mr. Chen Yinke, that is the foundation and frame builder of this period of history.There are also related papers by Mr. Zhou Liang. . .The views and discussions of the few I mentioned are very popular, not difficult, and amateurs like me can understand them.As for related web articles, I really can't think of which ones to recommend for a while.
