The words are divided into two ends.

On February 14th, morning, outside Yangping Pass.

The second day after attacking Yangping Pass.

Yesterday afternoon, Guan Yu led thousands of pioneers from the main force to arrive at Yangping Pass first, and immediately began to build a simple flight ladder, and construction destroyed the moat, pits and sheep and horse walls in front of the pass.

At the same time, he held a large rattan card and shot arrows wildly at the top of the city, regardless of the kill and exchange ratio far from the enemy's defeat.

After an afternoon and a whole night of bloody battles, especially the efficient destruction under the cover of night, Guan Yu, who had paid hundreds of lives and nearly a thousand injuries, filled the city river with the fastest speed to several gaps for the army to pass through, and also destroyed all the peripheral obstacles and fortifications.

Early this morning, Liu Bei also came with the remaining main force. The Han army gathered 20,000 people and camped outside the pass to take turns to attack.

Because there is too little time, heavy equipment like cloud ladders must not be built, and wooden donkey carts cannot be used. There are only simple flying ladders and simple city hammers that directly cut down trees and carried hitting the city gate.

Liu Bei knew very well that according to the pre-war reconnaissance, Yangping Pass had at least 10,000 defenders in non-war periods, accounting for half of the entire Hanzhong military power.

Therefore, even if Zhang Wei took away the main force of the guard, the rhythm of the siege must be stepped up. As long as the guard at the guard found someone to attack the problem, he immediately went to Hanzhong to ask for help. Including the time of the round trip and emergency mobilization, at most three days later, reinforcements from Nanzheng County, the capital of Hanzhong County will come.

Before the Nanzheng army arrived, the enemy did not break through Yangping Pass. The guards at the pass were supplemented, and the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain was useless. At best, it was just killing Zhang Wei and destroying thousands of vital forces from the enemy, which would not help the overall situation.

Whether or not a garbage like Zhang Wei will not affect the overall situation at all, the key is the key!

"Today is the second day! I must break through the pass before sunset tomorrow! The day and night attacks are not allowed to give the enemy a chance to breathe! Don't worry about casualties, the whole army will fight for me!

Now is the weakest time for Yangping Pass. After a fierce battle with one night of last afternoon, the remaining living people on the city wall are now less than two thousand! Those who first climbed will be granted the title of Sima! Those who originally ordered Sima will be granted the title of Duwei! The captain will be granted the title of the Captain first!”

Liu Bei personally wielded his arrows and stones and waved his swords to supervise the battle in front of the formation. Dozens of Danyang soldiers beside him were protecting them with large shields, and the Han army rushed upwards.

However, Liu Bei still pays attention to strategy. He knows that this kind of fancy battle is not easy to highlight martial arts. The soldiers consumed at the beginning are purely cannon fodder.

Therefore, your own direct troops must be divided into three or six or nine levels:

If the Youzhou soldiers are not good at siegeing the city, there is no need to consume them randomly, so they are only responsible for suppressing the shooting and shooting.

The Danyang soldiers are elites who are fighting for help and can serve as reserves and suddenly increase their impact when the situation is relatively anxious.

Most of the time, we have to count on the Hedong soldiers who had just been selected from the Baibo thief prisoners before Guan Yu entered Sichuan to be cannon fodder.

Who made them have been a thief for a long time, but their qualifications were short, so they could only arrange this at this time.

In order to boost morale, Guan Yu also acted as he advanced and retreated with the Hedong soldiers, and was dismounting and fighting there to supervise. However, Xu Huang was actually the one who was the commander of the arrow to climb the city.

"This is to take the original old brothers as humans. After this battle, I wonder if there are 3,000 5,000 Hedong soldiers who can come back alive. Oh, who has ever been a Baibo thief? I hope that General Zhenxi can completely trust our surviving people after the war."

Xu Huang was also very conflicted, but knew that this principle could not be lenied, so he had to fight to the death to achieve meritorious service.

He had led his troops to the city with his shield three times, and slashed more than ten people with his own hands, but he was eventually killed and returned.

Xu Huang himself was not injured by the enemy's blade because of his skill in martial arts, but he was pushed down by the swarming enemy troops from the gap of the five-meter-high city wall with a shield. In order to push down a fierce general like Xu Huang, the enemy still couldn't hold back and rolled down together.

Fortunately, the city wall was covered with thick corpse cushions, and when it fell from a height of 12 meters, it was only slightly injured.

The mi thief soldiers who were shot down under the wall during the chaos but were still alive, still fought fiercely on the ground in order to survive in desperate situations, but were all killed by the Han soldiers without exception.

At least one thousand corpses on both sides had piled up under the city.

There were even more countless dead people on the top of the city. There were corpses filling the female walls. They were pushed down by the guards who felt that the situation was inconsistent. Even the bodies of their own people were pushed, which showed that both sides were completely furious and red in their eyes.

Lu Su was at a loss when he saw the battle situation in front of the formation. Although he had the potential to be a famous general, he was still too young and had too little knowledge. He had never seen such a bloody battle of desperate struggles since he followed Liu Bei.

He couldn't help but persuade: "General, it would be a waste of life in this way... It's better to attack the heart. Please ask General Guan to divide his cavalry to go south, attack and kill Zhang Wei, and rescue Li Zhonglang by the way. As long as the news of Zhang Wei's murder is returned, the morale on the city wall will soon collapse.

Anyway, the front of the wall is too narrow, and my 20,000 troops cannot be expanded. Perhaps it can still allow idle soldiers to find a way to climb. Even if the mountains on both sides of the valley entrance cannot cross Yangping Pass, it can at least attract the attention of some enemy soldiers guarding the pass, making them exhausted and unable to take turns to rest."

Liu Bei was busy and waved his hand to greet him: "Zijing, you don't understand, you are a scholar, you should retreat quickly and avoid arrows."

Lu Su bowed: "The general personally took the arrows and stones, how could the staff avoid arrows?"

Liu Bei scratched his head: "Okay, I will avoid arrows with Zijing."

As he said that, he pulled Lu Su back for about fifty steps, and the shield formation also retreated. Only then did he analyze leisurely: "Zhang Wei is familiar with the road, but our army is not familiar with the road, so if he wants to die, he will not reach the right path. Even if he wants to kill Zhang Wei quickly and defeat the morale of the enemy, it is better to let Yun Chang wait for the effort.

However, Zijing's second half is right. Our army is worried that 20,000 people cannot be arranged and cannot rush up at the same time. We can divide the troops into the mountains and make momentum, or shoot arrows at the wall near the mountainside, so we can at least divide the enemy's power."

Lu Su suddenly realized that his plan was a bit taken for granted. In terms of specific details, he was not as good as Liu Bei, who had led his troops for five years, who had been fighting.

As for the other strategists around Liu Bei, they are not useful at the moment. Zhuge Jin is one or two years younger than Lu Su, but he can only record his studies like a clerk in a daze.

After some discussion, the Han army further upgraded its attack strategy:

On the one hand, Guan Yu led the idle Youzhou cavalry to the south and set up an ambush to Xiguan Post (later near Yang'an Pass) and ready to fight the Zhang Wei's return troops that should appear today.

Liu Bei also took care of Guan Yu: It would be better if he could capture Zhang Wei alive. In that way, Zhang Wei could be tied to the front of the pass and shouted with torture. Even if he could not surrender, he could damage the morale of the enemy and let them know that the commander and main force had really been killed by Liu Bei.

Otherwise, you only get one head back, and the defenders on the wall would not believe that it was Zhang Wei's head. When the two armies fought, they would brag and exaggerate their troops. Before the war, although Liu Bei had already shouted to the city, "50,000 Han troops have attacked," Yang Ang did not believe it at all, and he even urged the soldiers to say that this was Liu Bei's rumor. Only by annihilation and capturing Zhang Wei alive and tied them up, Yang Ang had to believe that the Han army was indeed huge.

On the other hand, according to what Lu Su said, all the soldiers who were squeezed behind were sent to the mountains on both sides to be suspicious soldiers.

Liu Bei's army is ten times more numerous. Since he wants to break through Yangping Pass in three days and two nights of attack, the most important thing is to continue to attack the city! Wheel battle ensures that all the defenders cannot sleep! Even if they are tired of fighting in 60 hours, you will be exhausted!

If there are not many soldiers on the front, and giving Mizhe soldiers a time to rest and sleep, it will be half the result with twice the effort.

The Han army was not strong enough last night, so we couldn't stop all the enemy from sleeping. We must spend it tonight until we can't close our eyes!

...

The continuous siege and attrition war lasted for a long time. In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Wei finally rushed back to rescue with 4,000 people and horses, and arrived at Xiguan Post, which was thirty or forty miles away from Yangping Pass.

In fact, his intelligence work was very insufficient, and he didn't even know how many people came to attack Yangping Pass, so he was so bold and marched at full speed. If he knew that Liu Bei had 20,000, he would have been so scared that he would have been step by step, or simply focused on killing Li Su and finishing his money.

Guan Yu set up an ambush in Xiguan Post in advance as Liu Bei ordered. His Qinglong Sword had been so hungry that he had been waiting for him. He saw that other generals of the friendly army had something to do, either bravely rushing to solve the problem or following Li Su to lure the enemy, but he was squatting here. How could he not be depressed?

Guan Yu knew that Xiguanyi was a three-way intersection, so he mobilized some of the ambushes north along the Western Han River Valley in advance, turned over a mountain pass before stopping, so that the enemy soldiers coming from the south would be invisible.

When Zhang Wei turned from the Xiguan Post and left the bank of the Western Han River and rushed towards Yangping Pass, he had just walked three or four miles away, Guan Yu's army broke out from both sides of the road.

At the same time, the troops lying ambushed at the three-way intersection also saw the beacon signal and attacked Zhang Wei in the middle.

Because Guan Yu used the Youzhou cavalry, he could not set up a crossbow and shoot at the high places on both sides of the mountain road. He could only be the most obvious frontal melee rush with the most obvious sword and spear, but even so, it would be enough to deal with Zhang Wei.

The number of troops on both sides is similar. How could the Mi bandit soldiers be the Youzhou cavalry rival who has been tested for more than two years of bloody battles? What's more, the Mi bandit soldiers are still coming from afar and are exhausted.

Zhang Wei originally planned to rest for a while at Xiguan Post and send a scout to find out the situation before the pass, recover his strength and fight again. Guan Yu went out dozens of miles to find him, making Zhang Wei's daily rectification operations vain.

"Stop off the horse and surrender quickly, follow me to the front of the pass to surrender Yang Ang, and I will spare you!" Guan Yu's anger that he had accumulated for two days was as if he had to vent his anger. He seemed to be concentrated on these cold surrenders and the Azure Dragon Sword that was ready to go.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wei only understood the generals of Liangzhou Army and was not familiar with foreign households in other places. He just waited for the order: "It's over, the whole army rushed over to me!"

Then he waved his ring-headed knife and the cavalry next to him rushed forward.

He knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as Yang Ang and Yang Ren, and he was promoted entirely by bloodline. Of course, he would not charge himself. This kind of shouting was a typical example of "Brothers, come on me" rather than "Brothers, come on me".

"I'm afraid of death. For this reason, it's useful to keep your dog's life for the time being." Guan Yu put his long beard into the collar of the battle robe, so as not to swing the knife too much and too fast, and his beard was in the way, and then he rode his horse like a thunderous wind and thunder.

The action was like a lazy billiard player who suddenly became serious and stuffed the tie that was thrown outside into the suit.

The friendly cavalry next to them felt a little chill for no reason.

Especially those old subordinates who knew him had already begun to observe a moment of silence for Zhang Wei: When General Guan tidy up his beard and stuffed it into his robe before the war, it was when his fighting will be overwhelmed to the peak.

"Drink—" Guan Yu rarely slashed and roared like his third brother Zhang Fei, and there was no enemy that the Mid-Bandit cavalry could combine.

Even though Zhang Wei only let his men charge, he was killed by Guan Yu in just half a cup of tea. There were already hundreds of corpses along the way, dozens of which were killed by Guan Yu himself, and the rest were killed by the cavalry in Youzhou.

A half-moon sword light flashed by, like a meteor rushing to the moon and slashing horizontally. Zhang Wei was so shocked that his soul was ignited. He instinctively raised his weapons to block it, and his neck shrank reflexively.

With a loud "clang" sound, Zhang Wei's mouth shattered and his weapons were knocked away. Because his hands were not enough to release their weapons, Guan Yu's sword force pushed his whole person up from the horse's back.

But Guan Yu's sword was fast, accurate and fierce. He had calculated that it had passed by three inches to half a foot of Zhang Wei's helmet. Liu Bei took care of him to capture him alive and tied him to the front of the pass to attack morale. Of course, Guan Yu did not forget, so the sword was slightly higher, so he forced Zhang Wei to block it, and then he could shake him away and capture him alive.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wei shrank all over when he blocked the block, and his muscles and joints were all stiff. He was hit by the knife and lifted up several inches. As a result, the knife face just hit the helmet tassel.

Zhang Weiru was hit hard by a huge hammer, and her head was buzzing, and eighteen kinds of musical instruments in her ears sounded, but it seemed to have formed a temple in the entire water and land hall, and she instantly vomited blood and was shocked.

Guan Yu was still a little nervous, and used a knife to lift Zhang Wei's body and stretched it to the personal soldiers next to him: "Try to see if he is still angry."

The personal soldier tried it on Zhang Wei's nose with his hands and replied in awe: "Congratulations to General, capture Zhang Wei alive."

Guan Yu shook the knife and threw Zhang Wei back onto the empty horse's back: "Why are you trying to pinch the knife so tightly? You're asking for it."

If you relax all over, how could you get so seriously injured? It was all considered good!

Guan Yu's tone was like a surgeon complaining to the patient: I told you not to move when you were shot!

Dr. Guan had to find a few more materials to practice his feel and recover the hot state of his hand that was interrupted by Zhang Wei.

It’s like when a table tennis player has to give the ball when encountering friendship factors, he would rather serve and throw one directly than give it a slightest. Because the deformation has more technical effects, it will affect the feel and muscle memory.

Capturing Zhang Wei alive is a very disappointing sword, which destroys the heat of the hand and muscle memory.

Fortunately, there were still many Rice Cavalry queuing in line to chop. Guan Yu was like a surgeon who returned to the anatomy laboratory to find a feeling after being defeated. After slashing thirty thirty Rice Cavalry thirty times, he finally recovered the lost hand heat muscle memory.

"General, they have surrendered!" The personal soldiers next to him shouted, and then he woke Guan Yu, who was immersed in his craft, again.

It turned out that he had led the team to rush for half a quarter of an hour, and the remaining soldiers had already been rushed to surrender.

Guan Yu put away his knife with unfulfilled wish and asked several personal soldiers to quickly send Zhang Wei back to Guan.

...

An hour later, Zhang Wei, who was unconscious, was finally tied up and sent to Yangping Pass by Wuhua.

The morale of the Han army also instantly rose to its limit.
