The fact that Hegeda personally led an army of 5,000 to come to aid was seen by Guan Yu and Ma Chao, and Guan Yu led less than 3,000 soldiers to fight with more than 2,000 barbarians at this time.

Although Ma Chao exterminated the barbarians in the doorway, he couldn't open the city gate because there were too many corpses, and there were a lot of barbarians gathered outside the doorway, and they were fighting with Ma Chao.

At the critical moment again, Ma Chao ordered: "I will lead the army to the front to resist, you move the corpse to the side as soon as possible, and open a city gate first." ”

After speaking, Ma Chao squeezed to the front, and then personally fought with the brute soldiers for the tip of the sword.

........

Only a mile away, just a few breaths, Zhao Yunbian and the 10,000 army led by the busy tooth chief fought together. However, Zhao Yun's martial arts are unparalleled, and he is proficient in the art of war, and his strength is better than that of busy teeth.

In this way, this local battle was also a one-sided situation, busy with his teeth and fighting against Zhao Yun immediately, and was stabbed under the horse by Zhao Yun in only one round, and then the barbarian soldiers were headless, and they had no desire to fight in half an hour, and they knelt on the ground and begged.

Zhao Yun was victorious and did not love war, and his murderous intent was not heavy, so he ordered his corporal to take prisoner kǔnbǎng and put him in custody. Then he found that Meng Shu had already led the remaining 20,000 troops away, and Zhao Yun himself was worried about the battle of Sangguan, so he extinguished the idea of pursuing Meng Shu.

Instead, he asked a brute centurion to find the body of the busy tooth chief, cut off his head, and let the centurion return to bring it to Meng Shu.

Before leaving, the centurion asked Zhao Yun if he had anything to say to Meng Shu, but Zhao Yun did not return and led the army to escort the captives to Sangguan.

.........

Under the northern wall of Sangguan, He Ting led less than 4,000 soldiers to fight with the 5,000 barbarians sent by Hegeda, although the Han army was elite, but it was a bloody battle for a long time, but it was a little tired, so the two armies also fought Qihu equally.

At this moment, outside the north gate of Sangguan, the sound of the neighing of war horses sounded, and then several Han soldiers on the city wall climbed the rock, but they told He Ting to open the gate and enlarge the army to enter the city.

At this time, Zhao Yun did not bring the barbarian captives under the city wall at all, but divided three thousand soldiers to guard the seven thousand barbarian soldiers who were captured by kǔnbǎng, while Zhao Yun himself led an army of 10,000 to support He Ting.

And Tingwen Zhao Yun returned, naturally overjoyed, quickly let people open the city gate, and then Zhao Yun's army entered the city, and the war under the north city gate was no longer suspenseful, and the five thousand troops who came to help were killed two thousand, and the remaining three thousand were all taken prisoner.

Subsequently, Zhao Yunming and Ting defended the north city gate on the one hand, and cooperated with the soldiers outside the city to escort the barbarian prisoners into the city to watch them, and then led the army to the south city gate to support.

...........

Entering Sangguan, under the South City Gate, Ma Chao led the soldiers around him, advancing forward one by one, constantly making room for the soldiers behind him, so as to open the gate.

And at this time, Hegeda is getting closer and closer to the city gate, as if he will be fighting with Ma Chao in the next moment.

And Guan Yu was also worried that the city gate could not be opened, so he abandoned the barbarian soldiers in front of him alone, and let the less than 3,000 soldiers under his command resist by himself, but he and Ma Chao worked together to create opportunities for the city gate to be opened.

At this moment, there was a cheer behind Ma Chao and Guan Yu, and then there was a creaking sound, and the city gate was slowly opened.

Seeing this, Liu Bei's corporal was naturally overjoyed, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. And the brute soldiers are like frosted eggplants, and their morale is low.

.............

Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Gao Shun, Huang Xu, and Pang De saw that the gate was slowly opening, so they no longer had the slightest hesitation and went directly to the city gate, and the soldiers behind them also rushed towards the city gate like a flood.

Next, there was no longer any suspense in the battle of Sangguan, and the barbarians on the city wall saw that the Han army had broken through again, and there was no need to climb the wall to fight, so they rushed down the city wall one by one in an attempt to drive the Han army out of the city with Hegeda.

However, Liu Bei's corporal was twice as large as the barbarians, and there were several fierce generals in the vanguard, so the barbarians led by Hegeda were naturally defeated and retreated.

However, the arrival of Zhao Yun was the last straw that crushed the camel, originally Hegeda still thought that no one at the north city gate should still be under control, if he could drive the Han army out of the city, it would be great, if not, he would have to hold on until dawn, so Meng Huo led the reinforcements to arrive, and there was still a glimmer of life.

However, the arrival of Zhao Yun profoundly changed all this, not only Hegeda, but even different barbarians also knew that they had lost their way to Sangguan, and they had no way to retreat, either they would die in battle or become prisoners.

In the end, under Liu Bei's two-sided attack, Jinsang Pass, which was known as the insurmountable Nanzhong, was conquered in the middle of the night for more than an hour. Hegda and all the remaining brutes under his command were taken prisoner.

..........

Although the fierce battle was not long, it was very fierce, and the 110,000 troops under Liu Bei, except for 10,000 county soldiers who did not participate in the battle in order to protect the baggage and civil officials and ministers, the other 100,000 troops were all invested in the battle to attack Sangguan.

That night, Liu Bei ordered everyone to escort all the captives kǔnbǎng, and then let some of the soldiers go to rest first.

At noon the next day, in the meeting hall of Sangguan, Liu Bei'an sat on the main seat, and all the civil officials and military generals led by Zhong Xuan, as well as Xi Zhong, Xun You and Xu Jing were also listed.

"Lord, in the battle last night, our army wiped out all the barbarians, of which less than 20,000 people were killed, more than 30,000 were captured, and the thief general Hegeda was arrested, and the busy tooth chief was killed!" Zhong Xuan opened his mouth to tell Liu Bei about the results of the battle.

"Well, how was the seizure last night?" Liu Bei asked.

"We have captured 500 war horses, 30,000 sets of armor, 10,000 spears, 40,000 pairs of gōngnǔ, 100,000 arrows, and 20,000 ring-headed knives, and enough grain and grass for our army to eat for three months!" Zhong Xuan continued!

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Xi Zhong, who said knowingly: "Our side also suffered heavy losses in the battle last night: 25,000 casualties were healed by military doctors, and about 6,000 of them could return to the battlefield in a few months or even half a year.

About 4,000 people will be left with lifelong disabilities and will no longer be able to continue in the army; The rest of the 15,000 people were killed! ”

In this regard, Liu Bei is also quite sad, but he himself knows that this is war, and if it is war, people will die! Then he seemed to remember something, and then he spoke:

"Zilong, you met Meng Shu last night, tell me what the situation is at the moment!"

"Lord, last night I was about to attack the north of Sangguan as agreed, but the scout suddenly came to report that there was a southern barbarian army coming from the north........." Then, Zhao Yun told the whole story.

"It was only after the war that the prisoners were tortured and found out. This army is led by Meng Shu, the king of the Southern Barbarians, but he hesitated late at night, the sky was too dark, and I didn't dare to enter the army at night, so that Meng Huo escaped! Please also punish the Lord! Then, Zhao Yun bowed down and pleaded guilty!

It's no wonder that Zhao Yun pleaded guilty, if Meng was captured in the first battle last night, the battle between Nanzhong and Nanzhong might be over, this is something that everyone can see, but just such a cautious and missed such a miracle!

Liu Bei hurriedly helped Zhao Yun up, and then said: "Zilong is guilty, in such a situation, it is natural to ensure the capture of Sangguan first!" As for Meng Huo, if he fails to capture it this time, he still has a chance in the future, but if he can't get into Sangguan, he will inevitably sacrifice tens of thousands of troops! ”

Then, Liu Bei looked at Xu Jing, and then said again: "This battle can be won by a big victory, and you should be the first to take credit!" ”

Hearing this, all the generals nodded yes!
