Chapter 0312: The dangerous ancient road of Taihang Mountain, the panic-stricken people of Jizhou!!

“”Yes!”

The cavalrymen responded in unison.

The army camped in Hanoi County to rest.

The next morning, the army set out on time.

After a night of rest, the soldiers were refreshed and in high spirits.

Gu Changan rode on a warhorse, leading the army to the southern end of the Taihang Mountains.

Then, the sound of horse hooves sounded like a rainstorm.

The earth seemed to come alive at this moment, shaking as the cavalrymen advanced!

On the march, dust flew.

The sound of horse hooves, the sound of war drums, and the shouts of the soldiers intertwined, forming a very spectacular scene.

“My Lord, the southern end of the Taihang Mountains is ahead, and Baixing is not far away!”Xu Huang’s voice sounded.”

Gu Changan nodded:”Pass the order down, speed up the march!”

The cavalrymen’s speed was faster, and the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, shaking the air.

Baixing, one of the eight Taihang Mountains, is an important passage connecting Bingzhou and Jizhou.

The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a natural barrier.

Taihang Baixing is the deepest canyon in the southern foot of Taihang Mountain. The valley is more than a thousand meters deep and winds along the riverbed.

The entire Taihang Baixing is more than a hundred kilometers long.

040 Among them, the Grand Canyon of more than 30 kilometers is the most difficult part of Gu Changan’s army’s journey.

It is called the Seventy-two Turns.

Because this is an ancient mountain trail, it is named because of its 72 steep bends.

After Gu Changan’s army arrived here, all began to dismount and move forward.

Because most of the roads are no longer suitable for riding.

The army climbed along the winding mountain road, and the steepness and majesty of the Taihang Mountains appeared before their eyes.

The cavalry gritted their teeth, waved their whips, and the horses neighed as they bravely moved forward.

The mountain wind whistled, rolling up dust, like the beating of war drums, urging them to cross the mountain.

The movement of Gu Changan’s army was too loud.

It was impossible to hide it from the soldiers guarding the pass.

However, the soldiers deployed by Yuan Shao here were not his elite troops. The

Baixing Ancient Road is not only a military thoroughfare.

It is also an important trade route for Shanxi merchants to circulate goods east and west, and to communicate between the north and the south.

The city walls and passes built here are more responsible for collecting taxes.

So facing Gu Changan’s thousands of troops.

At the Baixing Pass, Yuan Shao’s soldiers were panicked.

They did not expect Gu Changan’s army to arrive here so soon.

Gu Changan knew that once they passed here, they would enter the hinterland of Jizhou.

“Prepare to attack the pass!”

Gu Changan ordered.

He was going to do it himself, but was stopped by Xu Huang.

In Xu Huang’s words, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

Xu Huang selected some soldiers with extraordinary physical strength.

Each of them held three javelins.

In addition, he personally led the first batch of troops to attack the camp.

In addition, the archers were required to shoot crossbows at the city walls to suppress the defenders.

They kept approaching the city walls, and the arrows shot from above the city walls were blocked by their shields.

When they were less than 20 steps away from the city wall, the soldiers with extraordinary physical strength began to throw javelins.

These javelins did not attack people, but were nailed directly into the city wall. As the archers began to suppress the defenders on the city wall

“Kill!”

At Xu Huang’s command, the cavalrymen shouted in unison.

It was like thunder exploding, instantly filling the valley.

The first-line battalion led by Xu Huang rushed towards the city wall.

The javelins nailed to the city wall became their temporary climbing point.

The defenders on the city wall were suppressed by the crossbowmen and could not poke their heads out.

When they realized that the crossbows were no longer shooting,

Xu Huang had already climbed the city wall first.

He held two short halberds in both hands, flying up and down, and the defenders on the city wall were no match for him.

More and more first-line battalions climbed the city wall.

As more and more defenders died, they It began to collapse directly.

Gu Changan’s army captured the pass effortlessly.

The defense of Yuan Shao’s soldiers was like paper in front of Gu Changan’s elite soldiers, and it collapsed at the touch of a button.

Gu Changan’s army did not stop after capturing Baixing.

The army passed Baixing smoothly without encountering any obstacles.

The moment they walked out of the valley, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.

The western part of Jizhou was in front of them, and the vast plains were endless.

Gu Changan took a deep breath, he knew that they had successfully taken the first step

“”My Lord, we have entered Jizhou.”

Xu Huang said excitedly.

To be honest, he didn’t expect it to be so easy.

Gu Changan nodded slightly, his eyes looking far away.

“”Pass the order, the whole army speeds up!”

He ordered loudly.

Gu Changan’s cavalrymen were like tigers descending from the mountains.

They broke through the pass and headed eastward, heading straight for the heart of Jizhou.

After leaving Baixing.

If Gu Changan’s army wanted to attack Yuan Shao’s Yecheng, they would need to pass through one city after another.

These cities are usually Yuan Shao’s important defense lines in the west of Jizhou.

Under normal circumstances, these cities can be used to block Gu Changan’s attack.

Normally speaking.

After leaving Baixingkou.

The first city that Gu Changan’s army encountered was Yangping.

Yangping City is located on the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain. It has a dangerous terrain and is the only way to the Jizhou Plain.

Yuan Shao will definitely deploy heavy troops here to take advantage of the terrain.

Next, Gu Changan’s army will face Liyang.

Liyang City is located on the bank of the Yellow River. It is a transportation hub between Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou. The strategic location is very important.

Yuan Shao’s army will also focus on garrisoning here.

Build fortifications to provide a strong backing for the defense of Yecheng.

Going forward, the army will pass through Chaoge.

Chaoge City was once the capital of the Shang Dynasty, with a long history and a strong city.

Yuan Shao’s army may use the strong city here to garrison the army.

Finally, the army will arrive at Handan, the last barrier of Yecheng.

Handan is an important city in Jizhou, located southwest of Yecheng.

Here Yuan Shao will deploy heavy troops and build strong fortifications to defend his base camp.

However, at this time, Jizhou was in a panic.

Jinyiwei spread the conspiracy reached by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao here.

It has spread throughout Jizhou.

Not to mention ordinary people.

Even the soldiers in the army are panicked and panicked… ps: ○ Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, evaluation tickets, rewards, and comments!.
