The battle lasted until evening. Although the Shu army paid a heavy price in casualties, they still failed to set foot on the city of Yang'an Pass. Jiang Wei saved a lot of money, but his expression became increasingly grim.

dignified,

Jiang Wei probably knows the difficulty of attacking Yang'an Pass better than anyone else. Although the Wei army defending the city does not have many troops, but relying on the danger of the city, the Shu army wants to capture Yang'an Pass in one day. It seems that it is also

Totally unrealistic.

In order to capture Yang'an Pass, Jiang Wei tried his best and mobilized all available forces to attack the city on a large scale. However, the shortcoming of the Shu army was that they did not have large-scale siege equipment and only relied on the human sea tactics.

Attacking the city will naturally have little effect. After a day of fierce fighting, it is difficult to achieve even an inch.

Although he was mentally prepared in advance, Jiang Wei was still a little depressed because he could not capture Yang'an Pass. After all, the success or failure of Yang'an Pass was related to the deployment of the next military operation. If the Shu army was blocked outside Yang'an Pass, they would not be able to enter.

Arriving at the Hanzhong Plain will inevitably affect the situation in Hanzhong. The Second City of Hanle, where Wang Ping and Liu Min are stationed, are isolated and helpless and will surely fall into trouble.

After dark, Jiang Wei ordered the attack to be stopped. After all, it would be more difficult to attack after dark, and the casualties of soldiers would also increase. Jiang Wei would not do such a futile and useless thing.

The war became more and more stalemate, and it became more and more regretful for Li Qiu to lose Yang'an Pass. If Li Qiu had not lost Yang'an Pass so easily, it would not have resulted in such a passive and difficult situation.

Jiang Wei even regretted that he had been delayed in Yinping County for too long. If he had raised troops as soon as he got the news, it would be no problem to travel one or two days in advance. If he could reach Yang'an Pass two days earlier,

We will ensure that Yang'an Pass is not lost.

As long as Jiang Wei advances to capture Yang'an Pass, the situation in Hanzhong will be completely reversed.

It's a pity that in this world, there are people who sell any kind of medicine, but they don't sell regret medicine. Jiang Wei is late, that is, he is late, and there is no chance to get back the wasted time.

The first day's siege failed to achieve the expected results, so if the Shu army attacks the city again, the difficulty will be the same, and it may not be so easy to conquer.

What is even more troublesome is that today's attack on Yang'an Pass failed, and the next step will be even more difficult. If reinforcements from the Wei army arrive, the situation will be even worse.

Fortunately, the Shu army's reinforcements from Fucheng are about to arrive. The two sides will gather more and more troops in the Hanzhong area, and it will eventually evolve into a massive battle.

This will be the largest battle between the two sides since Zhuge Liang left Qishan six times. The outcome of this battle will also affect the political situation of Wei and Shu.

Jiang Wei looked up at the deep night sky and let out a long sigh. When he left home and left his mother to flee to the Kingdom of Shu, he calculated on his fingers that it had already been thirteen spring and autumn years. He had gone from a passionate young man in his twenties to a calm and mature man.

As a middle-aged man, Jiang Wei has experienced a lot of ups and downs in recent years, which made him feel a lot of emotion.

If he had not taken this step, perhaps Jiang Wei could now be the governor of a county, or even participate in the battle to defeat Shu. Although he did not have a world-shaking achievement, he could still enjoy the happiness of his family, and he could also do his best.

Filial piety for the Son of Man.

Jiang Wei's father died in the Qiang-Rong Rebellion in his early years, and his mother worked hard to raise him. Deep in his heart, Jiang Wei didn't want to fulfill his filial piety at his mother's knees, but after choosing this path, there was no turning back.

But leave.

"There are hundreds of hectares of fertile land, not one acre, but there are polygala roots, not Angelica!" This is Jiang Wei's reply to his mother. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both. Since he chose the path of reviving the Han Dynasty, he is destined to miss filial piety.

.

This road is undoubtedly a lonely one. There are many factions within the Shu-Han Dynasty. As a newly surrendered Yongliang native, Jiang Wei is neither a Jingzhou clique, nor a Dongzhou clique, nor a native Yizhou clique. He is drifting among various factions.

He often feels strange and unfamiliar. Prime Minister Zhuge, who appreciated and valued him, has passed away, leaving Jiang Wei walking alone.

Adhering to the legacy of Prime Minister Zhuge, launching the Northern Expedition and reviving the Central Plains is undoubtedly Jiang Wei's biggest wish. Unfortunately, Jiang Wan, who is now in power, does not agree with this. Fei once said bluntly that the prime minister is so talented that he cannot

To restore the Central Plains, we are not as talented as the Prime Minister. How can we achieve such a great thing? It is already very good to be able to protect the country and the people and safeguard the country.

Therefore, although Jiang Wei had great talents, he was not appreciated by the imperial court, and the troops he led were only partial troops. This made Jiang Wei sigh, and it was still far away when he would be able to truly launch his northern expedition and revive the Central Plains.

No time limit!

Putting down some Qiang Yi rebellions was just a piece of cake for Jiang Wei. It felt like killing a chicken with a bull's knife. However, these achievements also brought Jiang Wei a lot of military exploits, and also made Jiang Wei

His reputation was gradually improved, and among the Shu army, it was clear that no one could stand up to him.

In the early morning of the next day, before the Shu army took any action, the scouts flew to Jiang Wei to report that Xiahou Ba and his reinforcements had arrived at Yang'an Pass.

When Jiang Wei heard about it, he stood still and did not move. With only one man and horse of Cao Liang's Yueqi camp, the Shu army never conquered Yang'an Pass. Now that the reinforcements of the Wei army have arrived, there is even less hope.

Jiang Wei didn't want to attack the stone with an egg, so he simply stood still. However, in order to lure the Wei army from Yang'an Pass to come out, Jiang Wei deliberately showed weakness and put on an appearance of a dishonorable army, showing all his flaws to the Wei army.

However, it may be okay for Jiang Wei to confuse others with this move, but now his opponent is Cao Liang, so how can he be fooled? So even if Jiang Wei is full of flaws, Cao Liang remains unmoved and sticks to Yangping Pass without any hesitation.

No plans to go to war.

Xiahouba led 30,000 troops to reinforce this time, making Yangpingguan's defense impregnable. Seeing the "flaws" of the Shu soldiers, Xiahouba had some thoughts, but Cao Liang was not allowed to fight, and Xiahouba also

Naturally, he gave up all his thoughts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to guarding Guancheng.

How could Jiang Wei hide his little trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger from Cao Liang? As the only general in the late Shu Kingdom, how could Cao Liang dare to despise him? Even though Jiang Wei was full of tricks, Cao Liang was determined to defend and not fight.

In principle, Jiang Wei naturally has no choice but to look at the city and sigh, but wait for the reinforcements from Fucheng to arrive before making a decision.

A few days later, reinforcements from Fucheng also arrived in front of Yang'an Pass. This time, the leader was none other than General Fei. He led an army of 50,000 troops and joined Jiang Wei's troops. The Shu army
