Repelled Fa Zheng's attack on the Sword Pavilion Pass, and Wang Xiao did not send anyone out of the pass to pursue.

During the surprise attack on the Sword Pavilion Pass, there were only less than a thousand defenders stationed in this extremely important pass.

Moreover, there happened to be a convoy transporting grain and grass to Yangping Pass to enter the customs, and the garrison was very lax.

Wang Xiao sent people to lurk close to the raid, and took the pass in one fell swoop, and also seized a large amount of materials stored inside.

After that, Wang Xiao stayed here, eating Yizhou's grain, waiting for Yizhou's soldiers and horses to disperse on their own.

In history, when Deng Ai walked the Yin Ping Road, the Shu Kingdom had already festered, and the defenders everywhere were looking down.

The words were whitewashed for Liu Chan, saying that he was smart. Why didn't he see him pampering the eunuchs and oppressing Zhongliang. even forced Jiang Wei to stay away from Hanzhong, causing the door to open wide until the death of the country?

But now, the Shu army's will to fight is still quite high.

Fa Zheng, who was stationed in Chengdu and was in charge of the rear affairs, hurriedly sent all the young and strong men into an army, and eagerly rushed to the Sword Pavilion Pass to counterattack.

Fa Zheng's ability is not bad, but unfortunately the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses requisitioned in his hands is extremely poor.

And time is tight, if you can't break through the Sword Pavilion Pass in a short time, then Liu Bei's army that was blocked in Yangping Pass will be all finished.

Fa Zheng attacked fiercely for several days, suffering heavy casualties and causing a rout, and he was no longer able to attack.

"It's almost time."

Wang Xiao, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at the lofty mountains in the distance, and the other side of the mountain was Yangping Pass.

The news was passed on to Liu Bei's side, and it stands to reason that a decision should have been made by now.

Liu Bei's side now has three choices.

The first is to go north to break the main force of the Cao army in Hanzhong, seize the grain and grass of the Cao army and enter the pass.

The second is to go south to break through the Jiange Pass and return to Chengdu for logistical support.

The third is to the east, along the Han River through the Shangyong area to Jingzhou.

As for the road to the west into the mountains, and then detour the river from the south to Chengdu from Guannan, it will definitely not be chosen.

Liu Bei now has an army of sixty or seventy thousand in his hands, not six or seven thousand.

With so many soldiers and horses entering the mountains, the daily logistical needs are a huge number. And there are no supplies in the mountains at all.

Before they could get out of the mountains, they were all starving to death.

And Wang Xiao came to raid, which was a surprise.

Under the current circumstances, how could Wang Xiao give Liu Bei a chance to catch himself off guard.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if Wang Xiao was in Liu Bei's environment at this time, he would definitely choose to go south with the whole army and break the Sword Pavilion Pass before the military rations ran out.

Because coming out of the vast mountains, there will definitely not be too many soldiers and horses.

Yangping Pass was strong, leaving an army to hold on to temporarily resist the attack of the main force of the Wei army in Hanzhong.

The whole army went south, fought desperately with the momentum of mourning soldiers, and attacked the reinforcements from Chengdu on both sides, but it may not be impossible to break through the Jiange Pass.

Regarding Liu Bei's plan, Wang Xiao expressed his understanding very much.

After all, this is the shortest and easiest one compared to the others.

It's just that the Sword Pavilion Pass is not so easy to fight.

Jiange Pass is located at the break of Jianmen Mountain, with cliffs on both sides, straight into the sky.

The peaks and mountains lean against the sky like a sword, and the cliffs are broken. The two walls are opposite, and its shape resembles a door, so it is called the sword gate.

This is the world's rare wall-type conglomerate cliff Danxia landform. The vertical height is nearly 300 meters, and the narrowest part of the bottom is only 50 meters of the natural pass, which is the first pass in the world of nature.

If you want to attack such a dangerous place, the only way to change is to fill it with your life. Fill in until all the arrows and equipment are used up, and fill in until all the defenders are killed in battle to break through.

As for climbing over the 300-meter-high cliffs on both sides, strong messengers can climb over them, but tens of thousands of troops can't get over.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei's army is here."

When Wang Xiao was thinking about his thoughts, after the tempering of this long-distance march, Yang Xiu, who had already matured a lot, stepped forward and pointed to the north, "Sure enough, as Your Majesty thought, they still chose to come to fight the Sword Gate." ”

In the northern gorge, a long dragon of banners and sergeants winds its way. There are so many that there is no end in sight.

Wang Xiao rubbed his chin that had grown a beard and didn't have time to take care of it, "Block the city gate, even if the sky collapses outside, you are not allowed to leave the city." ”

Zhuge Liang is resourceful, and the law is wise and wise.

At this critical moment, these two people will definitely use tricks to lure Wang Xiao out of the city at all costs, and then seize the Sword Pavilion Pass.

Wang Xiao wasn't sure if he could see through all the traps, so he simply chose to block the city gate directly and strictly ordered no one to go out.

Let your tricks fall out, I just won't move.

The Shu army went south, came to the Sword Pavilion Pass to repair a little, and launched an attack early the next morning.

A large number of Shu troops stepped on the long stone-paved steps and rushed up to the city pass.

First of all, they greeted the rain of arrows, and when they reached the city wall, they were rocks and rolling wood, and the gold juice ash bottle was smashed down.

The terrain here is too steep for heavy siege engines to be transported.

Moreover, the pass is very narrow, and each time it is killed, only a small wave of sergeants is attacking the city, and everyone else can only watch from behind. There is no way to give full play to the superiority in troops.

The only option is to fill it with life.

The tentative attack was quickly repulsed, but for the next few days, the Shu army was all this kind of tentative offensive, as if there was no hurry at all.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, what are they doing?" Yang Xiu's heart was impetuous, and he began to be suspicious.

"What else can I do, thinking about finishing my work in one battle."

Wang Xiao stood on the city wall and saw clearly that the Shu army was cutting down trees to build siege equipment. And he must have sent an envoy over the mountains and mountains to contact Fazheng.

That is, these two days, and when the time comes, it will definitely be desperately attacking the city at all costs.

Seeing that Yang Xiu was worried, Wang Xiao smiled and quipped, "Dezu, scared?" If you are afraid, you can be a messenger and go to Liu Bei's place for a few days. ”

Yang Xiu smiled embarrassedly: "I'm afraid, I'm really a little scared." But since the minister is here, he will definitely fight to the end. Even if it is death, it will die by the side of His Majesty. ”

This sycophant shot well, Wang Xiao was happy in his heart, "You can be regarded as having military merits, and when this battle is over... Bah! After Liu Bei is killed, he will give you the title of marquis. It's hard to say, but it's okay for the townsfolk to be there. ”

Yang Xiu was overjoyed and immediately saluted.

No matter what Liu Bei wants to do, Wang Xiao is firmly seated in Diaoyutai.

As long as you guard the Sword Pavilion Pass, it doesn't matter how you act outside.

After another three days, Wang Xiao estimated that the Shu army's military rations should almost run out. Order the sergeants to be on higher alert, and the enemy is coming.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, a heavy fog suddenly filled the valley. A large number of Shu troops pounced on the city wall under the cover of fog.

"Zhuge Kongming, you are really a master of playing Yin and Yang in soldiers." Wang Xiao looked at the fog that filled the sky and the earth, and sighed in his heart that Zhuge Liang had really used astronomy and geography to the extreme.

During the Battle of Chibi, the east wind was borrowed, and now it is specially waiting until the fog rises today.

Not to mention anything else, if Zhuge Liang is to make weather forecasts, he is definitely a powerful figure.

Dozens of stones flew over and smashed into the city, and there was chaos in the moment.

It turned out that the Shu army took advantage of the foggy weather and the cover of the dead soldiers who stormed the city to push many thunderbolts into the firing range.

When he was in Yangping Pass before, the Shu army was smashed and burned by a thunderbolt and couldn't stand it. In the end, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others attacked desperately, not only destroying a number of thunderbolts close to the city wall, but also seizing a lot of parts.

Of course, there was a price, and the already small number of cavalry was almost exhausted. Even the general Zhao Yun was also painted for it, and the injury was not light.

Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and flowing horse, invented the Zhuge crossbow, invented the Kong Ming lantern, invented the bun and so on. It can also be regarded as a character with military skills.

Through the restoration of the parts, plus the observation of daily life. He quickly figured out the structure and the principle.

However, he didn't have the oil to catch fire, and for the time being, he couldn't figure out why the jar thrown by Wei Jun could catch fire.

Now, although it is not as good as the original, at least it can be used in a hurry.

The defenders screamed as the stones flew in, and the city was soon plunged into chaos.

At the same time, on the side of Xiahou Yuan guarding Chengdu, there were also a large number of soldiers rushing to the city, and there were also thunderbolts throwing stones.

In the face of all this, Wang Xiao was unmoved.

He stood on the steps of the city wall with his sword in hand, and commanded the city's reserves to come up in line one after another.

There was a sharp whistling sound overhead, and Wang Xiao squinted his eyes and looked up, seeing the flames of burning fire piercing through the thick fog and falling into the city.

This is a man who climbed to the top of a cliff on either side, lit a ball of straw rope and threw it down.

This thing is not very lethal, and its biggest effect is to hit morale and increase panic.

After all, when this fog is thick, the fire from the sky is indeed quite scary.

And the people on the top of the mountain cried wolf howls and let out terrible and strange screams. Not to mention being scared, it's quite disgusting.

This is not over, in a warehouse in the city, a group of Shu troops suddenly killed.

Because of the lack of defense, the nearby Wei army formation was immediately scattered.

In the past few days, the Shu army has not been idle to eat.

In the blind spot of the city pass, they dug a hole in the mountain, and dug a passage into the Sword Pavilion Pass by sticking to the side of the mountain.

Because there is a half-buried water tank in the city to listen to the sound of digging tunnels underground, Liu Bei Zhuge Liang simply did the opposite, digging mountains instead of digging tunnels.

This was the territory in the hands of Shu Han before, and they knew the internal structure very well.

A warehouse near the mountainside was deliberately chosen as a hiding point. Take advantage of the chaos in the city at this moment, and the dense fog obscures the opportunity to create chaos.

While rushing to kill, the Shu army shouted and shouted that it was defeated and defeated, and killed so-and-so Yunyun to make trouble.

With so many serial moves, Xiahou Yuan probably had the intention of running away.

But Wang Xiao saw all this in his eyes, but he was not moved in the slightest.

"That's all?" Wang Xiao looked around, wanting to see if there were any other tricks.

But for now, it seems that there is only that.

Astronomy, Geography, Heart Attack, New Armament, Flanking Attack.

Liu Bei Zhuge Liang and them can be regarded as using all the conditions that can be used to the extreme.

However, this trick can scare others, but it can't scare Wang Xiao.

You have a thousand clever plans, and I'll deal with them one by one.
