After half a day of fierce battle, he didn't even find the female wall in Tongguan. Zhou Shiting and Cao Qing suffered heavy casualties. They retreated to repair and were unable to fight again. Xu You sent Zuo Qi to lead Cuiyu army to attack, but it was still unsuccessful until the evening. They fought at night. The army took turns to fight. Only Ming Jing bravely climbed the female wall in Tongguan. Unfortunately, he was forced to come down again without gaining a foothold.

The shouts of killing continued to night. When the battle reached dawn, nearly 1,000 people were injured or killed, so they had to retreat to the edge of Linzhi Plateau. Due to the terrain, the front army was on the plateau and the back army was in Huangxiangban. There were only 200,000 troops, but only more than 10,000 people launched an offensive at a time. It was impossible to form a joint force and it was difficult to advance.

The strong attack failed, Si Zhudu used the same trick again and stepped forward to curse the formation. Mi Po Chu directly ordered the Liang army to curse back. Guanzhong's thousand-year-old essence was rich and colorful, and the words were even more colorful than Si Zhudu. The gang of verbal masters who had scolded Wang Cheng was so angry that they were half-hearted that they used to scold Wang Cheng. In desperation, they started to curse in Ningyue dialect. Liang army also used Guanzhong dialect and Qiang dialect. No one on both sides could understand each other's words. They talked to each other for a whole day, and they were not sure of the victory or defeat. They agreed to fight again tomorrow and call the gold to withdraw their troops.

Wang Ban, the consultant of the military, offered a plan. The Qiang people are the most brave, and they can send women's clothes to show humiliation and lure him out of seclusion to fight. Who would have thought that Mi Po Tu became a straw man and put the women's clothes on, and the words Xu You were written on the city tower, allowing three or five silly, big, black and thick burly men to touch each other, and from time to time, they also accompanied them with a few obscene smiles, just like driving live.

This time, the Liang army did not tempt the Liang army, but instead made the Chu army soldiers half-extinguished. From Tan Xiaozu, they all asked for battle. Everyone was willing to come to see him if they did not break Tongguan. Wang Ban was even more ashamed and asked Xu You to punish him, but Xu You didn't care and laughed: "I didn't expect that Mi Po's mouth was a fun thing. When he broke Tongguan, don't kill him, let him wear a woman's uniform to hold a horse and stool for me, and leave a good story for history books!"

The coach's words and deeds directly affected the mentality of the troopers. Xu You was so calm that he dissipated the irritability and anxiety that everyone had suffered from the unfavorable breakthrough.

After knowing shame, he fought again early the next day. They all fought desperately. When it was noon, they almost broke through the pass. But they didn't know what crazy they were. Hundreds of Liang soldiers did not dodge swords and guns, clamped weapons with their flesh and blood, and then hugged the Chu army who was climbing the city and jumped down desperately. After landing, they still roared and bitten them until the blood was dry before they stopped.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the offensive reversed, and the Chu army was driven down again, and everyone was dejected. Facing this thousand-year-old majestic pass, a mouse was really pulling a turtle and had nowhere to slap.

Wang Dan offered another suggestion, just like Zhu Zhikewu Pass, and wrote a letter of surrender to be sent to the pass, promising to be a high-ranking official and generous salary. Mi Pochu immediately responded, asking the supervisory team to accept all the acceptances, and those who dared to privately hide the rumor were killed, and the crisis was eliminated invisible.

After four or five days of this, the Chu army made no achievements. Xu You summoned Yang Shun, the head of the Mingchi Department, and asked if Mi Po had any weaknesses. For this Western Expedition, Yang Shun secretly sneaked into Xiliang, planted, bribed, and alienated, and did a lot of things, but he had no choice but to touch Mi Po. This person was Yao Ji's confidant and a vested interest of the Golden Rare Dynasty. He had been in war for many years, had strict military commands, and was calm and resourceful in combat. Therefore, Yao Ji was very relieved to give him 50,000 elite troops to guard Tongguan. He really knew people and was good at responsibilities. He could not open a man to the pass.

When he was helpless, he received a good news from Ye Min to return from Luoyang. Hulu Deva's army was completely destroyed, and 50,000 good horses were obtained. The siege of Luoyang was resolved. Even if Wei Ting sent another army, it would take at least two months later. In other words, Ye Min won two months of precious time for the Western Expedition with just 20,000 soldiers and his own strength.

Xu You was overjoyed and submitted a memorial to the court, granting Ye Min the governor of Luozhou and the general of the left army, and ordered him to continue to strengthen the defense of Luoyang city, command the defense of Luozhou, Yuzhou and the rear prefectures and counties, and keep the food passage open.

The news of the great victory in Luoyang has greatly boosted the main force of the Chu army who stopped in Tongguan, but he was happy and felt that he was blind. Xu You summoned the generals to discuss it again. He Ru said: "Since Luoyang is temporarily protected and Tongguan is in danger, it is better to follow the previous proposal and choose a good general, cross the Yellow River and go north to attack Pucheng."

Xu You pondered for a long time and said, "Zhang Tong, please analyze the strength and strengths of the enemy and us."

Zhang Tong was summoned to the General's Mansion and joined the army as a record room. He Ru and his friends learned quickly. Most of the jumping out of that year had been removed. After this period of marching training, he was dark-skinned and strong, and was completely different from usual. He heard Xu You's name, and immediately took a long pole and pointed to the large sand table in the tent and said: "There are about 150,000 infantry and cavalry in Xiliang nationwide, with about 100,000 cavalry, and the rest are infantry. Currently, 50,000 people are

In Tongguan, there are 40,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry; 20,000 people in Pucheng, most of them are infantry and a few cavalry; 20,000 people are in Qingni, confronting the governor Zhu and others, and these 20,000 are all cavalry; there are 10,000 to 20,000 people scattered in other prefectures and counties, most of them are infantry; and the main force of the central army in Yao Ji's hands was originally expanded by the left troops under his command, all of which were Xiliang horses, well-equipped and brave in combat, and they must be given enough vigilance."

"Our army currently has 200,000 troops, with superior troops. It has all the infantry, cavalry, chariots, and navy troops. It is stronger than the Liang army. It is also in an offensive and takes the initiative. It is inconvenient to transport food and grass, which is conducive to quick battles, but not long-term sustainment!"

Xu You praised a few words, then suddenly turned to look at He Ru and said, "If you divide the troops and go north, why do you think the officers of the Army can take on this important task?"

"Xue Xuanmo!" He Ru said firmly.

Xu You smiled and said, "General Xue is a lucky general, but attacking Pucheng in the north is of great importance." As he said that, his eyes were on Tan Xiaozu and said, "I wonder if General Cheqi and Cavalry can relieve my worries?"

Tan Xiaozu resolutely clasped his fists and said, "I wish to go here!"

"Okay, I'll help you take 50,000 Jingzhou troops, prepare food and grass, and go north immediately!"

"promise!"

That night, Tan Xiaozu led his troops from Youdu Army to secretly send them across the Yellow River. After seven or eight days, Tan Xiaozu heard that he had defeated Pucheng.

Pucheng Prefect Yin Zhao once fought against Yao Ji when he was treason. Later, Yao Ji successfully ascended the throne. Yin Zhao had no choice but to surrender. In fact, he was very disgusted with the Jinque Emperor who usurped the throne. Therefore, Tan Xiaozu's army had just arrived and the Thunderbolt Cannon had not yet been set up. He knew that he could not compete with his troops alone. If all the troops were killed, he would become a lonely man and die worse than anyone else in this chaotic world, so he surrendered decisively.

Yin Zhao was a Han native and his ancestors were also a prominent family in Qingzhou. He was in Guanzhong during the Five Barbarians' invasion of China and gradually gained a foothold. Finally, he became a subordinate of Liang. Now he re-entered the Han camp, which was also considered as a recognition of his ancestors.

After receiving the news, the Joint Army redeployed the combat plan and handed it over to Xu You for instructions, it was approved. First, it deliberately spread the surrender of Yin Zhaoxian City. Tan Xiaozu led 100,000 main force to cross Pubanjin, which made Mipo shocked and suspicious. He hurriedly sent scouts to investigate. A few days later, he received an order from Chang'an. Yao Ji asked him to quickly defeat the remnants of the Chu army outside Tongguan, and then led his troops north to stop Tan Xiaozu, and strictly ordered the rebel general Yin Zhao to be killed without mercy.

On the morning of May 6, after being blocked by Tongguan for twenty days, he launched a siege again with great momentum. Xu You personally went to Linzhiyuan to cheer for the drum. The Chu army was like taking spiritual medicine, like a fierce evil spirit. When the battle was in full swing, he saw a cavalry coming from the east and rushed into the camp. Then several people came to report to Xu You. Xu You was beating the drum, and the drumstick in his hand fell to the ground and left the battlefield without looking back.

Then the Chu army retreated like flowing water, and there was no movement. Mipo knew that there was something changed, so he sent a secret agent to touch the Chu camp in the night to find out the truth. The spy reported that it was the Wei army besieging Luoyang and cutting off the food route of the Chu army. The Chu army's food and grass could only be used by the 200,000 army for three days, and it seemed that they had the intention to withdraw their troops to rescue Luoyang.

When it was dawn, I saw that there were no soldiers in Linzhiyuan. Mi Po Chu ordered people to explore again. I learned that the Chu army was turning around Luoyang, with a disorderly formation and the soldiers were in a hurry. Several generals jointly asked to chase after him immediately to kill the enemy and make achievements. Mi Po Chu sneered: "This is Xu You's trick. If you want to lure me out of the city, there must be ambush along the way. Don't pay attention to him and just guard Tongguan. I understand that the Chu people will not be able to enter Guanzhong with half a step!"

"Military Commander, you must not miss the opportunity! The Chu people came from afar, and the food and grass were not good enough, and they also fell into our city with all their strength. How much does 200,000 people consume every day? How can Xu You stand it? Now that he was besieged by the Wei army, the food route was cut off, and the hasty retreat was a god-given opportunity for us to make such an invincible contribution."

"Yes, Military Commander, please give an order! Did the Chu people take it in our eyes? I, the 50,000 people in Xiliang, can be a million troops, and only 200,000 pigs and sheep, but let the men chop and kill for a while."

The generals begged hard, and as they saw the opportunity to make merits and receive rewards, who could resist the greed in their hearts? Mi Po Chu just refused. At this time, his confidant joined the army secret room made a statement and said, "Tan Xiaozu's army has strong troops, and has occupied several counties, and is almost falling north of the Wei River. The master must make a quick decision and his words become more and more fierce. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he may..."

Mi Po Chu couldn't help but feel a little moved, so he sent another spy to learn that the Chu army had abandoned the baggage and camp and had evacuated the township. He really wanted to return to Luoyang to help. Finally, he could not bear the pressure and instigation of Chang'an. He left five thousand infantry guarding the pass and took 40,000 cavalry to chase him.

We chased the west plateau of Lingbao. There were mountains on the south side, the Yellow River on the north side, and a slender canyon in the middle, about seventy miles long. Suddenly, we saw that the Chu army had already set up camp, but the arrow was on the string and had to fire, so we ordered the cavalry to charge.

After all, the Liang army still looked down on the Chu army's field capabilities. Even the Chu people who had been playing for many years were good at attacking and defending cities. They had seen each other in front of Tongguan for more than ten days, but Er. So although Mi Pochu was cautious in using troops, he repelled the Chu army's attacks many times in a row. He was inevitably arrogant and did not stop the horse in time. Instead, he made up his mind to use this battle to achieve an overwhelming victory and then turn around and deal with Tan Xiaozu.

The one who lined up the defense was the 10,000 Cuiyu Army led by Ming Jing. He was good at fighting tough battles, dared to fight desperately, and was able to die. It was perfect to use this place to block. The colleagues of the Supervision Department were boosting morale in each village and said, "Everyone is energetic, hold the gun tightly, and win this game. The general said, "I have enough wine and meat tonight!"

"Cut the legs of a horse, stab the belly, cut the head! Don't rob, don't worry about the enemies rushing behind you, just look ahead, ahead!"

"Think about the millions of Han people in Guanzhong who were exploited by the Qiang people for many years! If we win this battle, we can save countless lives!"

"Okay, the enemy is starting to die! Brothers, see you alive!"

The soldiers laughed loudly: "See you alive!"

"The crossbowman is ready! Let it go!"

"Bowman ready! Let it go!"

The sound of the horse hooves of the cavalry was deafening, even overshadowing the rolling and howling of the Yellow River. Wu Qi, the spearman in the front row, felt the strongest. The enemy in his pupils changed from small to large. You could almost see the trembling of the nose of the war horse with a cage-mouthed mouth. The sound of the bowstring seemed to be only one sound, and then countless arrows fell from the sky like beans. The ears heard the sergeant screaming and squatting down. He hid his body tightly under the cover of the shield soldiers. Then, without time to react, the spear in his hand collided with the enemy.

The huge impact force made his knees creak, and the heart-wrenching pain almost fainted. However, Wu Qi was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield many times. If he could feel the pain, he was still alive. He hurriedly looked up and found that the enemy's cavalry did not hit his gun head-on, but just penetrated deep into the horse's belly from the flank, and the horse's legs were also cut off by the axeman next to him, which slowed down the impact. The cavalry fell from the horse and fell into the team. Wu Qi could see the horror and despair on his face, but his heart was very calm. He drew out the sharp knife and cut off his neck neatly.

Blood splashed everywhere, Wu Qi retreated, and immediately had spearmen to fill up the position. The queue change during the war was the strongest point of the Cuiyu Army. This was the body reflex formed by the strict exercises of tens of millions of times a month every day, almost becoming instinct. On the battlefield, this was the amulet to survive.

Dong!

The horse body collided with the maple spear again, and the two sides strangled a group of soldiers, and the battle was fierce. Mipo was shocked by the Chu army's field battle level, and personally took a rafting arrow to urge the front army to fight. As long as the group of broken soldiers were defeated, they passed through the Xiyuan Canyon, and reached an open area in front, they could unfold the entire army and drill through the Chu army's front. Then they would divide and encircle them, and a great victory would be expected!

Suddenly, an ambush of more than 10,000 people appeared on the Nanshan Mountain. He was led by Qi Xiao, first shot with a crossbow, then smashed a huge rock, then dived down, and cut off the Liang army in the middle. Then he divided it into two parts, one formed a formation to block the rear half of the cavalry, and the other attacked the front half from the rear, and worked with Mingjing to fight until the sky gradually darkened, and nearly 20,000 Liang army members were eaten.

When the gun head turned around, the Liang army behind him was already timid and dared not fight, and fled. Mipo could not suppress it. She was wrapped in a riot and fled to Tongguan with helplessness.

Xu You knew that the capture of the pass was here, and he released the only two thousand cavalry in his hand. Each of them carried three flags, pretended to be a grand gesture, and followed the Liang army, which must make them panic, while Qi Xiaoming was respectful and led the infantry to follow him.

Originally, retreating back to Tongguan and reorganizing in time could also save the defeat. However, the five thousand infantry guarding the pass saw hundreds of cavalry fleeing back in a panic, and then they saw the smoke and dust rolling behind them. They looked at the great defeat and thought that the entire army was defeated, so they hurriedly retreated to Guanzhong. The cavalry who had just entered the pass naturally followed suit, and the ones behind him were selfless. When Mi Po touched the door back to Tongguan, there were only a few people on the left and right. They couldn't help but burst into tears. They touched the door with their heads and were forced to leave by their personal guards.

Taking over Tongguan, Qinchuan was already in sight. Xu You stepped on the blood-stained horse path and climbed to the top of the city, looking at the water of the Yellow River falling from the sky. The sunset sank into the mountain. This is exactly:

Lu Bu also said that the original victory was won, and the king's army came to Tongguan sooner or later!
Chapter completed!
