The fog will dissipate soon when the sun comes out.

Digging out of the mountain, in such a few days, it is a small passage that can only accommodate one person. It is useless to simply block and guard.

When the fog clears from the fireball at the top of the mountain, the wind will blow it away. If it's too heavy, it won't come, and if it's too light, it will be blown by the wind.

At a height of two or three hundred meters, even if the wind is not strong, it will cause no shadow to be blown away.

Thunderbolt, seemingly unstoppable. But the city wall is extremely strong, and when the fog clears and sees the stones flying over, you can just hide and dodge.

You can't be a thunderbolt throwing rocks 24 hours a day.

Whether it is a two-sided attack or a dead soldier attacking the city, it is meaningless in front of a precipitous Xiongguan like Sword Pavilion Pass.

As long as the defenders dare to hold on to the battle, they will not be able to break through until the defenders are dead.

As for the most important attack, the previously selected military team has already begun to kill the rebels. And this time, the elites who came with Wang Xiao were carefully selected.

They followed Wang Xiao all the way over the mountains and mountains, and they survived such a difficult journey. Seeing that the big victory is just around the corner, where is it so easy to collapse.

Arrange a queue to support the city head, and then send someone to Xiahou Yuan to warn him that as long as he guards the city wall, he doesn't care about anything else.

The fireball above his head ignored him, and the ghost crying wolf howled as if it was an accompaniment to the battlefield.

Wang Xiao turned around and went down the steps, and led his personal guards to form a shield array and pressed towards the warehouse where the Shu soldiers poured out.

Relying purely on manpower to open the mountain, it is already a miracle that a passage can be carved in just a few days. I want to be as spacious as it can be.

The generals Li Yan and Wu Ban led the dead soldiers into the pass. The beginning was going well, and the Wei army was clearly in confusion after being raided.

However, soon, the Wei army reacted and began to fight and resist.

Li Yan asked Wu Ban to guard the exit, and he himself led people to fight in the city, trying to cause chaos and open the city gates.

When Li Yan finally reached the vicinity of the city gate, he was stunned to see that the cave in the city gate had already been blocked by a large number of stones and cloth bags filled with dirt.

Just when he was a little distracted, there was a piercing sound of breaking wind.

Subconsciously turned around, and a sharp arrow flew from the fog and shot directly through his chest.

The Wei army, which was formed in a large group, strode over and scattered the Shu troops around them.

Wang Xiao, who was holding a bow and arrow, walked past Li Yan's side and glanced down at him.

"What are you thinking about in a daze on the battlefield."

Li Yan, who coughed up blood in his mouth, died when he coughed.

Wang Xiao didn't care about the Shu army that was running around in the pass to create chaos, and led the military array directly to the exit.

Wu Ban, who was guarding the exit, resisted desperately, but was seen by Wang Xiao because of his outstanding performance.

An arrow passed and directly ended him.

The sergeants pressed to the exit, and more than a dozen long soldiers desperately poked at the hole that could only accommodate one person in and out.

Wang Xiao stood behind, and shot more than ten times at the entrance of the cave with his bow and arrows.

With a wave of their hands, the sergeants on the periphery came over with cloth bags filled with gravel and dirt and threw them directly into the cave. It didn't take much effort to block this place.

Leave it to be guarded, and look for potential dangers along the walls. Wang Xiao turned around and returned to the city wall.

Recruits who have just entered the battlefield may be intimidated by the successive crises in this environment.

But the elites who have been through a hundred battles will never be. As long as the Lord is not chaotic, then it can be resolved one by one.

That's why it's important to pick the elite to play.

Over time, the defenders who held the city suffered heavy casualties from the smashing of stones. But they still firmly occupied the city wall, and did not give the Shu army a chance to climb the city.

The morning sun is rising, and the warm sunlight dispels the thick fog. Everyone's eyes gradually became clearer.

Zhuge Liang, who failed in the surprise attack, was crumbling, and his face was already extremely pale when he saw one thunderbolt after another damaged due to long-term use.

I have been preparing for so long, and I have been waiting for the day when the fog will be thick. But in the end, it still failed to fight, and Zhuge Liang already had a premonition of the final ending.

Liu Bei beside him was a little trembling, "Let's retreat first." ”

"Can't be returned." Zhuge Liang's voice was a little hoarse: "The food is only enough to eat until tomorrow, and Yangping Pass is also lost." Now that you have stepped down, this breath will stop. ”

"You can't beat it, it will only increase the casualties."

"If you can't beat it, you have to fight it." Zhuge Liang lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, we can leave from the mountain and return to Chengdu." But can these tens of thousands of troops be taken away? ”

"When the main force of the Wei army comes over, the army can only be taken prisoner if it can't be taken away." Zhuge Liang was already planning for the future at this time, "It was to keep the army and surrender to the Wei army, and he would go down the river to attack Jingzhou." Or let them go and consume each other with the Wei army defending the city now, and ask Your Majesty to call the shots. ”

Liu Bei fell into deep thought, this is indeed a dilemma.

That night, the Shu army launched its last strong attack. Trying to take advantage of the night to capture the Sword Pavilion Pass.

The main force of the Wei army from Yangping Pass in the rear was already about to arrive. Under tremendous pressure, the Shu army also broke out with the last courage.

The night battle was fierce, and the night sky was lit up by the blazing torches.

By dawn, the Shu army was defeated and retreated, and directly entered a state of collapse.

At noon, the main force of the Wei army commanded by Xiahoudun, Xu Huang, Liu Ye and others killed along the Golden Bull Road.

All the Shu troops who failed to escape back to Chengdu over the mountains became prisoners.

From the Battle of Jieting to the Battle of Tianshui, from Hanzhong to Jiange Pass.

During this period of fierce battles, Wang Xiao at least wiped out and captured more than 70,000 main legions of the Shu army.

These are the real fighting forces in Liu Bei's hands, not counting the people. It's not about pulling the Di, Qiang, and barbarians to make up the numbers.

Without these soldiers and horses, Liu Bei had almost no available strength in Yizhou.

Fortunately, Liu Bei has experienced this kind of thing countless times in his life, and even many times he was beaten to the annihilation of the whole army.

After grief, he regained his strength, and after bypassing the Sword Pavilion Pass over the mountains and mountains, he quickly went to Chengdu City.

Dong Yun and other Yizhou people proposed to defend Chengdu, but Liu Bei directly refused.

There are no soldiers in Chengdu now, and there are not even many men. Before, Fa Zheng recruited young men to attack the Sword Pavilion Pass, but the losses were not small.

Without people, no matter how strong the majestic city of the world is, it can't hold it.

Dong Yun and the others also know this, and the reason why they say this is to implicitly express that they want to stay.

It's not that they don't have loyalty to Liu Bei, it's really something that can't be helped.

Sun Wu used the private army system, and Shu Han practiced the Han system. Here in Yizhou, those who serve Liu Bei's subordinates are basically local famous families.

Their people, their houses, and especially their fields are all here in Yizhou.

These things can't be taken away, but they are the foundation of each family. At this time, I hope that Liu Bei can allow them to stay and guard Chengdu. After making a symbolic resistance, you can choose to surrender.

Liu Bei knew very well what these people thought, and he also knew that as long as he left on the front foot, the people on the back foot would never do any symbolic resistance, and he would immediately turn his face and sacrifice the city to Wang Xiao.

In line with the intention of increasing his strength as much as possible, Liu Bei took away all the people and things he could take away, leaving Wang Xiao with an empty city.

A few days later, when Wang Xiao was late with the army, there was only a group of old and weak women and children left in Chengdu.

"Liu Da'er is really hateful." Seeing Wang Xiao use the food that had been brought from Chang'an City with great difficulty to relieve the victims, Xiahou scolded angrily.

"No, he did a good thing." Wang Xiao was not angry about this, but was quite happy.

Because Liu Bei took away almost all the family gate valves in Yizhou, the place is strong. Then everything they left behind can be justifiably included in their hands.

With the food in the field, Wang Xiao could distribute it to the captured Shu soldiers and people. It can also gather the military and the people of Yizhou in the shortest possible time.

Liu Bei practiced the Han system, and everywhere he went, he sought the support of local celebrities.

Wang Xiao is different, he is taking the road of attacking famous families and weakening the strength of these heroes as much as possible. It mainly relies on the good family who owns the property of the farm.

What Liu Bei is doing now is a great thing for Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao stayed in Chengdu to rectify the affairs of Yizhou, and sent Xiahou Yuan to send troops to drive Liu Bei out of Sichuan.

After noticing that Xiahou Yuan's subordinates were just driving themselves away and did not catch up with the movement, Liu Bei did it more simply, and almost all the famous families and local heroes were taken away from the places he passed by.

And the vacant land will soon be redistributed.

From then on, these good sons who were assigned to the fields and mansions, in order to protect their family's property, would use their lives to support Wang Xiao.

Because once Wang Xiao fails, those who have been driven away will come back and take away everything they have now.

Wang Xiao was stationed in Yizhou for half a year, which gradually calmed down Yizhou.

Liu Bei had more time this time, so he didn't leave his wife. This made Wang Xiao feel a little disappointed.

It's not a disappointment, but I feel a little regretful when I see that Liu Bei didn't habitually leave his wife and children behind and run away. Definitely not because his preferences are changing in the direction of Cao Cao.

When he attacked Hanzhong before, Guan Yu from Jingzhou over there went north to lead the battle, and he did not shock China as he did in history.

Because Boss Cao personally took action, he led the army south from Yecheng to fight Guan Yu.

When the news of Yizhou's defeat came, Guan Yu hurriedly retreated to protect Liu Bei's final foothold.

During that time, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu also tried to sneak attack Jingzhou while Guan Yu was away.

However, after learning that Yizhou was lost, he dispelled this idea.

It is clear that now it has come to a situation similar to the Battle of Red Cliffs. They must once again join hands to fight against the mighty Wang Xiao.

Liu Bei returned to Jingzhou again, and when Guan Yu asked how Wang Xiao was, he looked at Liu Chan who was submissive beside him, and his heart was full of emotion.

"Give birth to a son like Cao Zijian!"
