Chapter 713: Attack from both sides(2/2)
On the morning of the 25th, after a hearty breakfast, Lu Ya looked at the sergeants who had recovered some of their strength. With a wave of his hand, nearly two thousand people came out of the south gate, escorting some of the baggage vehicles, and headed eastward.
Fa——At this time, the battle at Jingxing Pass has become increasingly fierce.
Jingxing is a narrow mountain road with two mountains facing each other and a line in the middle, about a hundred miles long.
The east entrance is in Hebei Province, and the west entrance is eighty miles east of Shangai County, Leping County, Bingzhou.
Jingxing Pass and Tianchang Town are actually both within Jingxing. It’s just that Jingxing Pass is more dangerous and Tianchang Town is not so dangerous. But in theory, they can block each other. During the Tang Dynasty, Wang Rong, the military governor of the Chengde Army, sent people
Garrisoned troops in Tianchang Town to block Li Keyong. As a result, the field battle failed miserably and the military town could no longer defend.
Lu Ya led his army from Shangai County and walked along the post road. Along the way, he saw many strong men and women transporting supplies in large and small cars. He went directly to kill them and seized all the supplies.
The enemy was very frightened. They really didn't expect a troop to suddenly appear from behind.
At first, they even thought that a wealthy family had rebelled, but after hearing a few words with a foreign accent, they immediately understood that Shao Bing had entered Bingzhou and that the situation was over.
Lu Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief and led nearly two thousand men and horses to fight and walk. The eighty-mile journey took a total of three days and arrived a few miles behind Jingxing Pass on the night of the 27th.
Under the dark night, the sergeant hiding in the col was sitting on the ground, chewing the captured meat - the texture of the meat was a little strange.
After eating, continue to rest, and you can even sleep with your clothes on.
Lu Ya climbed up the hillside and waited patiently while observing the Jingxing Pass where the sound of killing was loud.
The army outside Guancheng attacked all night without any signs of stopping.
The soldiers and horses in Guancheng are also frequently mobilized, either for reinforcements or for rotation.
Without surprise troops, it would be really difficult to capture this Guancheng, and perhaps tens of thousands of people would be killed and injured even without being able to defeat it.
In the middle of the night, Lu Ya went down to the mountain col and asked the officers to wake up the sergeants one by one.
Half an hour later, everyone checked the equipment, quietly left the col, and climbed up the post road.
The sound of "rustling" footsteps sounded in the mountains, and occasionally there was the sound of clashing weapons.
After walking for a while, the torches were lit one after another.
Looking down from a high place, on the winding mountain road, a long dragon bared its teeth and claws, rushing forward at an extremely fast speed.
Many tents were set up behind Guancheng and many wounded were placed there.
This is also a huge camp, where craftsmen are constantly repairing equipment and armor, making arrow shafts, polishing rolling stones, etc. day and night.
The healthy women were also divided into several groups, taking turns to pound rice, preparing to send it to the city at dawn.
Guancheng has limited space and cannot accommodate many non-combatants, so this is the logistics base for the defenders.
The sound of piercing the sky came, and countless arrows were shot from the grass, hillsides, and post roads. There were constant screams in the camp, and dozens of people fell down in an instant.
"Kill the thieves!" roars came, and countless Qingzhou soldiers rushed out of the night, killing old men, healthy women, craftsmen and doctors, the sick and wounded, and a small number of compression guards.
In the midst of the fighting, there were still people rushing everywhere with firewood in their arms.
Soon, fires were everywhere and burning brightly.
The entire camp was in a state of disorder and collapse, with cries and screams piercing the sky.
The footsteps on Guancheng suddenly became denser, and some people looked around and shouted loudly, but the only answers they received were arrows.
There is no doubt that the rear of Guancheng was lost.
As for the defenders, they lost more than half of their baggage personnel, their food routes and retreat routes were cut off, and they were now alone.
