At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Jiameng Pass is not what Liu Zhang understands. Unlike Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass is actually a city.

In the beginning, Jiameng Pass, like Baishui Pass, was simply used as a throat to guard the Jinniu Road.

As an important traffic route in Sichuan, where the Jialing River and the Bailong River meet, it leads to Hanzhong on land, down to Chengdu, and down the Jialing River to Langzhong, an important town in Brazil. The geographical location is extremely important.

Jiameng Pass is surrounded by water on three sides, and Niutou Mountain is backed by it. It can be said that it is a natural danger! Later, in order to further consolidate this danger, Jiameng Pass was built into a city.

Whether you are going from Chengdu to Hanzhong, or from Hanzhong to Chengdu, you must meet through the east and west gates of Jiameng Pass! In other words, without the Jiameng Pass, one would not be able to enter the land of Shu, and it would be absolutely impossible for the land of Shu to get out!

The geographical advantage of Jiameng Pass is far more than that. It is surrounded by water on three sides, so the attacker can only attack the city from this land, but there is Tianxiong Pass on Niutoushan behind the land.

These two checkpoints are the horns of each other, unless they attack at the same time with a large superior force, it is absolutely impossible to break through the checkpoint.

Tianxiong Pass on Niutou Mountain is not well-known, but the actual difficulty of attacking it is not weaker than Jiameng Pass!

When Han Sui attacked Hanzhong, facing Yangping Pass, the reason why he did not choose to attack the weak point on the mountain but insisted on the narrow place on the flat ground is exactly the same.

Niutou Mountain is very steep, and it is very difficult just to climb Niutou Mountain. How can we attack Tianxiong Pass on the mountain?

I am afraid that no matter how many troops there are, they will have to be lost here!

However, Tianxiong Pass is only a dangerous place to cover Jiameng Pass. Once Jiameng Pass is lost, Tianxiong Pass will immediately become an isolated city, and the defenders can only abandon the pass and flee. On the contrary, if Tianxiong Pass is lost, Jiameng Pass can still rely on the dangers to stick to it, and still achieve the goal of guarding the Jinniu Road.

Now Dejiameng Pass can be described as impenetrable. Not only is Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei personally guarding it, but there are also one of the few 10,000 elite soldiers in Shu!

Zhang Wei had a lot of experience, and as soon as he entered Jiameng Pass, he sent 3,000 defenders to Tianxiong Pass. Including the original defenders, there are 8,000 people at Jiameng Pass and 3,500 at Tianxiong Pass.

It is precisely because of the strength of Xiongguan and soldiers that Zhang Wei is not afraid of Liu Zhang at all. Even if Liu Zhang was not caught by Yang Bai, Zhang Wei was confident in blocking Liu Zhang's progress.

In fact, Zhang Wei did not agree with Zhang Lu's idea of ​​luring Liu Zhang to kill him from the very beginning. He felt that with the advantage he had now, it was more than enough to deal with Liu Zhang who only had one place in Hanzhong!

Unfortunately, Zhang Wei did not persuade Zhang Lu, all he could do was cooperate.

It was already very late, and Zhang Wei was still patrolling the city of Jiamengguan. This was something he had to do every day, and it was naturally for the great cause of their brothers.

"Is there any news from Baishuiguan?"

The soldiers hurriedly handed over their hands to report,

"Report to General Zhang, there is no news yet."

Zhang Wei nodded. Although he knew that he would be notified immediately if there was any news, he still couldn't help asking.

If Yang Bo could really capture or kill Liu Zhang, that would be great! Zhang Wei is also willing to see this result. At that time, he can swing his troops straight into Hanzhong and completely take the two rivers into his pocket!

"General Zhang, there seems to be some movement ahead!"

Suddenly came the voice of a soldier, which interrupted Zhang Wei's wonderful fantasy and woke him up from his intoxication.

"where?"

As Zhang Wei asked, he looked into the darkness pointed by the soldiers.

Sure enough, there were flames approaching, but the flames were so full that it didn't look like there should be a small number of people.

"If there is a situation, quickly notify the soldiers to be on alert, and be ready to fight at any time!"

There were soldiers and horses of unknown origin in the dark night, which made Zhang Wei nervous.

The defenders of Jiameng Pass are the most elite group of people in Yizhou, and their reaction speed is extremely fast. Before the flames reach the city, the soldiers have all bowed their bows and arrows.

"Who is coming? Hurry up and stop, or don't blame the general for being rude!"

About twenty steps away from the city, Zhang Wei shouted towards the city, stopping the progress of Huoguang.

"Is that General Zhang at the top?"

Zhang Wei was so familiar with this voice that his tense spirit immediately relaxed.

"Yang Bai?"

"It's right here! Great, if General Zhang rests, I will spend the night in Guanxia!"

The gate of Jiameng Pass is very high, and the pass is very dark, so Zhang Wei couldn't see the situation below clearly, but he could be sure that it was Yang Bai from the sound.

"Yang Changshi, what's the matter? Why come back in such a hurry?"

"General Zhang, I captured Liu Zhang alive, but some of his soldiers escaped and have already returned to report! I believe that it will not be long before the Hanzhong army will make a big attack! I dare not delay, so I can only press Liu Zhang back first!"

Yang Bai's voice was full of excitement and excitement, Zhang Wei didn't have any doubts at all, and was immediately overjoyed! He never imagined that Yang Bai really got his way!

"Congratulations to Yang Changshi for making great achievements! My elder brother will definitely reward Yang Changshi heavily!"

"Hahaha, General Zhang is the first to capture Liu Zhang this time!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei felt extremely relieved. Why do brothers Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei treat Yang Bo with courtesy? It's just that Yang Bo's mouth is so eloquent!

"Yang Changshi wait a moment, I will open the city gate to welcome you in!"

"Thank you General Zhang!"

Yang Bai didn't say much, but there was still excitement in this sentence.

"General Zhang wait a minute!"

Just as Zhang Wei was about to go down the city, he was directly stopped by Yuan Jiameng, the gate guard.

"General Lei? What's wrong?"

Seeing that it was Lei Tie who was blocking him, Zhang Wei didn't leave directly.

The Lei family that Lei Tie belongs to is a big family in Guanghan County, but the status of the Lei family is a bit strange. The Lei family is not in Guanghan County, but in the Guanghan State, a place dominated by foreigners.

Even so, Zhang Wei did not dare to offend Lei Tie easily, and he had always respected Lei Tie since he came to Jiameng Pass. Because the Lei family's prestige in the Guanghan vassal state is very high, offending the Lei family, the Guanghan vassal state is prone to riots!

Lei Tie looked down the city again, then walked up to Zhang Wei's ear and whispered,

"General Zhang, it's dark now, and the situation in the city is unknown. Opening the city gate rashly will inevitably be dangerous."

"Hiss...um..."

With Lei Tie's reminder, Zhang Wei also recovered from the huge temptation of catching Liu Zhang. Indeed, as Lei Tie said, the situation outside is unknown, what if there is fraud?

"General Lei, what do you think?"

Lei Tie thought for a while, but instead of answering Zhang Wei, he asked,

"General Zhang, are you sure it's Yang Changshi?"

"Don't worry, General Lei, I'm sure it's definitely him!"
