The generals had already gone down to prepare, but Xi Zhong, Xun You and Xu Jing did not leave.

When Xi Zhong saw the generals leaving, he opened his mouth and said: "Lord, if the lord's army is attacking before entering Sangguan on the eighth day, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the guards.

After a few days, the defenders of Guanshang will inevitably be slackened because the lord can't attack for a long time, so that the lord can take it in one fell swoop! ”

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Xun You also opened his mouth and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Zhicai's words are also what I think, the purpose of the lord coming to enter Sangguan is to attack Sangguan, if he ranks troops under the pass and does not attack, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the generals guarding the pass!" ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this!

Early the next morning, Liu Bei led Gao Shun, Huang Xu, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and Pang De to lead an army of 50,000 troops and an army of Long Yan to attack the 50,000 army and kill them at Jinsang Pass!

At this time, the Jinsang guard will be the seventy-second cave under the command of Meng Huo, the Jinye Cave, and the cave master Heigeda.

This black gda is a cousin of Meng Huo's mother's family, and his whole body is as black as ink, nine feet tall, and his body is wide and fat, so that a mace weighing fifty-six pounds.

Hegda made this mace fight in the southern and central regions for several years, and it was unsurprisingly unbeatable. Therefore, the Southern Barbarian King Meng was ordered to garrison Hegeda to enter the Sangguan, and he was quite relieved about this!

Hegda said that he was brave and invincible, but he was not a reckless person. Its defense into Sangguan still started when Xi Zhong attacked Jiaozhou!

At that time, Xi Zhong attacked Jiaozhou, Meng got the news, and was afraid that Xi Zhong would attack Nanzhong with a big victory, so he ordered Hegeda to replace the original Ningyuan Cave Cave Master and garrison this Sangguan.

After Hegeda settled in Sangguan, he did not disappoint Meng Huo, actively trained his soldiers, and at the same time sent dozens of elite scouts to sneak into the jungle of Jiaozhou to keep an eye on the movements of the Xizhong army!

In the past two years, Xizhong has no intention of invading Nanzhong, and even the entire Jiaozhou road has been overhauled, but the road to Nanzhong has not been repaired at all.

And this time, Liu Bei led the army north to attack Nanzhong, and the scouts sent out by Hegeda reported to Meng Shu early, and the defenders who entered Sangguan also increased from 20,000 to 50,000!

At the same time, the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu also explained that he would personally come to Sangguan to defend with Hegeda after a while!

In fact, there is an army of 50,000 people near Sangguan, and this army is Liu Zhang's Yizhou soldiers, and Nanzhong at this time does not really belong to Yizhou.

Meng Huo and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are just one collaborator, and Meng Huo is only one level lower than Liu Zhang in terms of status, because I am nominally subservient, so Liu Zhang asked to garrison troops into Sangguan, but Meng Shu agreed!

On the day Liu Bei arrived at Jinsang Pass, Hegeda already knew about it, and Liu Bei was also mastered by Hegeda without the slightest protection when he built the camp.

Just because he saw that Liu Bei was arrogant and built a camp without the slightest defense, many generals under Hegeda's command asked for battle, but in the end they were vetoed by Hegeda, but they guarded the pass!

Hegeda is so close, it is undoubtedly the most correct, because Liu Bei was only a long time that day, so he didn't seem to have too much protection, but there was an ambush in secret!

In the next few days, Liu Bei's immobility also aroused the vigilance of Hegeda, and for this reason, Hegeda also sent a lot of scouts to investigate the movements of Liu Bei's army, but the news he got was that everything was normal, so Hegeda also put his mind at ease and focused on defense.

Since then, there have been a lot of preparations for rolling stones and trees in Sangguan!

On this day, Liu Bei led a large army to attack Sangguan. After Liu Bei led a group of generals and 50,000 troops to arrive at Jinsang Pass, the young general Huang Xu was the first to ask for battle.

And Liu Bei also wanted to see how the defense of Sangguan was, so he agreed!

Subsequently, Huang Xu led 3,000 cavalry to call for battle under the Sangguan, and called for a long time in succession, and there was no movement in the Sangguan.

In this way, Liu Bei was helpless, so he ordered Gao Shun and Huang Xu to lead an army to attack the city. Jinsang Pass is the first Xiongguan at the junction of Nanzhong and Jiaozhou, so it is also quite steep.

The length of the pass into Sangguan is not more than two miles, and there are high mountains on both sides, therefore, the troops invested in each attack into Sangguan can not be too much.

Originally, Liu Bei was also prepared to enter Sangguan, but Liu Bei's original idea was the tunnel method, not that he wanted to dig a tunnel into it, if he really dug a tunnel to pass through, it could only pass through Sangguan, and could not endanger Sangguan.

And if the guards know that they only need to send someone to find the entrance of the cave, wait for the rabbits at the entrance of the cave, and kill one by one, then Liu Bei will regret not falling.

Liu Bei's tunnel method is indeed a bit vicious, that is, digging a large hole under the city wall of Sangguan, and then supporting it with square wood, and then burning Fang Mu after evacuating with personnel, so that the city wall of Sangguan turned back and collapsed, and then with the force of Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, it was easy to attack Sangguan.

Gao Shun and Huang Xu led the army all the way to Jinsang Pass to kill, because they got Liu Bei's order, so Gao Shun and Huang Xu were not particularly hard at command, and after the army attacked for a while and lost hundreds of soldiers, they retreated back like flowing water. After several attacks, they were all hastily and did not even step on the city wall, so they retreated.

Although the whole day of attacks was a feint, the casualties of the soldiers were real, and the casualties of the soldiers reached 1,000 at night.

However, Liu Bei did not intend to stop there, and at night, Liu Bei ordered Lu Bu to lead five thousand Longyan troops to beat the drums, and only stopped after a period of chaos in Sangguan.

In this way, every other hour, Lu Bu led an army of 5,000 to beat the drums. Until the end of the ugly time, at the beginning of the Yin period, after Lu Bu beat the drum, Liu Bei ordered Chen to Yan Rui to lead an army of Long Yan to attack Sangguan in the sound of drums.

Chen Zhi and Yan Rui led an army of 25,000 to sneak quietly in the sound of drums, and it was not until the Guanxia General Ladder was erected on the city wall that it was discovered by the generals under the command of Hegeda, and then the entire Jinsang Pass was in chaos.

Chen Zhi and Yan Rui also took advantage of the chaos to attack the city wall. Chen Zhi was forced to go down the city wall because there were too many brute soldiers on the city wall, and most of the soldiers who followed Chen Zhi were blocked under the wall.

Yan Rui, on the other hand, didn't know if it was too good luck or too bad luck, and when Yan Rui attacked the city wall, he happened to meet Hegeda. Hegeda saw that a Han army had attacked the city wall, and fought with Yan Rui with a mace.

Yan Rui was not afraid at all, holding a knife in both hands, and fought with Hegeda with one move to split Huashan, but there were not many soldiers in Sangguan, and Yan Rui and Chen Zhi only took advantage of an unprepared attack. Therefore, when Yan Rui and Hegeda fought for five rounds, the soldiers who followed Yan Rui to the city wall were killed one after another, and Yan Rui was also besieged by Hegeda and a group of soldiers.

In the end, Yan Rui was helpless, and fought with Hegeda more than a dozen times, and after killing more than a dozen barbarians at the same time, he saw that he couldn't do anything, so he took the initiative to retreat from the city wall.

Seeing that Yan Rui wanted to leave, Hegeda was unwilling to give up, so he snatched a bow and arrow from the barbarian soldiers around him, and shot an arrow with his intuition at night. Yan Rui, who was running, suddenly felt that danger was approaching, and turned to the side slightly, and the arrow shot by Hageda hit Yan Rui's right hand.

However, Yan Rui's life is not in serious trouble, but he will not be able to fight in the short term.
