As a time-traveler, Guan Yi, who has a modern humanistic concept, does not like to abuse the corpses of enemies. But he couldn't resist the strong demands of his generals, and he himself hated traitors. Therefore, at the unanimous request of the soldiers under his command, he still ordered the corpses of more than 200 rebels led by Jiang Shu who had climbed the city wall to be nailed to the city wall.

For the Xiahou Xian team, who watched the whole process of the annihilation of Jiang Shu's army. Although it was still noon, it was still a long time before the sun went down. But Xiahou Xian knew that he couldn't urge his soldiers to attack the city no matter what.

Then he divided his soldiers into three teams. One team is responsible for cutting wood to build siege equipment. One team is responsible for strengthening combat readiness to prevent the enemy in the city from attacking (this is actually not much necessary, the layers of obstacle walls do effectively slow down the Wei army's attack, but also hinder the rapid attack of the Han army in the city). The last team has one thing to do: tear down the walls!

As a child of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Xian's identity is actually very embarrassing.

The royal family of the Wei regime was surnamed Cao, but everyone knew that Cao Cao, the founder of this empire, was from the Xiahou clan. So in this regime, the surnames Cao and Xiahou are both national surnames.

After the coup d'état in Gao Pingling, the Cao family was suppressed by the Sima family, and the Xiahou family, as the most powerful ally of the Cao family, naturally couldn't run away - otherwise why do you think Xiahou Ba would go to Shu Han. For more than ten years, the Cao clan was relocated to Yecheng by the Sima family, which was equivalent to a high-ranking prisoner. The core figures of the Xiahou family also enjoy the same treatment. It is only a side branch like Xiahou Xian who can escape the fate of being captive with this shame.

Even so, Xiahou Xian also knew very clearly that he should not ask for any extravagant military exploits in this army, the greater the combat merits, the faster the Sima family's butcher's knife would come. So this time, he took the initiative to serve as the military food escort officer of the rear team.

But now there is a problem with the grain road! All at once it made him feel Alexander. But even so, he didn't want to attack Yang'an Pass: he fought it, and he made outstanding achievements - death! If you can't beat it, you will lose your soldiers and lose your troops - die! So after forcing Jiang Shu's team to die, and giving an explanation to the upcoming bell meeting later, he was not ready to attack hard.

But you can't do nothing until your boss arrives. After watching the game for a long time, he has been keenly aware of the positive side of these obstacle walls for the defender, and since this is the case, then I will tear them down. lest when the large army behind them comes up and sees these things, General Zhenxi will be angry again.

Seeing that the Wei army outside the city began to demolish the barrier wall, Guan Yi smiled lightly: Where is this epoch-making bamboo and cement wall so easy to dismantle.

In ancient times, the best way to tear down a wall was to tear it down. Cao Wei's soldiers did the same at first. But the result was, of course, in vain – two meters above ground and three meters underground. As the skeleton of this cement wall, the bamboo tube on the ground is a full five meters into it.

You can't push it off, right, it's okay, Lao Tzu has people. Then pick it up - no wonder Xiahou Xian would have such a strange idea, because the main component of the city wall in this era is rammed earth, and it takes a sea of time for this thing to dry out - from the fall of Yang'an Pass to the present, it has only been five or six days, and this rammed earth wall has not dried up at all.

As a result, of course, it was a shameful failure.

"What the hell is this? How do you make the whole wall fit together? Could it be that it is made of natural boulders? But where can such a large stone be moved by man? And how did the bamboo tube in this stone get in? ”

In a short period of time, Xiahou Xian couldn't figure out the doorway here. But the work of tearing down the wall still has to be done, and in that case, let's use the simplest and stupidest method: smash!

However, this method really worked.

Although it came into effect, Guan Yi at the head of the city was still not in a hurry: in modern society, it would take a lot of time to demolish so many concrete buildings in this way. This is still without interference - and now, although the bows and arrows on the tower of Yang'an Pass are indeed very limited, it is still possible to occasionally fire a few dozen and harass the soldiers who smashed the wall.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the 20th, Xiahou Xian's troops only demolished five of the hundreds of barrier walls.

And the demolition of this wall is not finished: the root part of the wall cannot be demolished no matter how much it is demolished. As a result, the ground is still uneven: think about how thousands of men can attack at the same time, and how the speed of troops can be in such a terrain because there are hundreds of high or low obstacles on the ground. If you're not careful, you'll be pouring a big piece.

Then on the 21st and all day, Xiahou Xian was bitterly cleaning the remains of the five cement walls that had been demolished from the main part. It's a pity that cleaning up the remains of the cement wall is much more difficult than smashing the wall directly, and Xiahou Xian spent a whole day, but still failed to achieve the expected goal.

On the 22nd, Zhong Hui personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses to arrive.

With a jewel like Zhao Kuo in front, Zhong Hui will certainly not make the mistake of "putting it to death and living later". There are 400,000 unjust souls of the Zhao army who were killed in the Battle of Changping to testify, and the morale of the Wei army at this time is of course extremely high. Therefore, after receiving the news of the fall of Yang'an Pass (received the news on December 20), Zhong Hui immediately reacted.

In this process, the overall response speed of the 150,000-strong Sword Pavilion Battalion was very fast. Because everyone knows what situation the whole army has found itself in now. Therefore, all the Wei soldiers and soldiers have carried out the orders of Zhong Hui in the past few days. On the morning of the 20th, Zhong Hui received the news that he would be able to lead 30,000 men out of the camp in the afternoon. And along the way, there was no need for any urging, and the whole army ran automatically. The result was: more than 200 miles of road, one day and two nights, the whole army arrived.

It's not that no one has made a fuss. Originally, in Cao Wei's army, Pang Hui, a general of Jianwei Zhonglang who was known for his martial bravery, led his army to face Jiang Wei's army at the exit of the Sword Pavilion. As a result, Pang Hui heard that Yang'an Pass had fallen, and that the banner of Guan was erected on Yang'an Pass. Immediately left the troops and ran to Zhong Hui's big tent to petition, asking Zhong Hui to take him to Yang'an Pass.

"General Zhenxi, the father of the last general was loyal to the country in the past, and was killed by Guan Yu's old thief. Now the last general is forty-four out of fifty, and I don't know how long I can live. For more than 40 years, the last general has been thinking about it, all of which are to slaughter the Guan family and avenge his father! Today, I heard that the general of the Shu thief is the grandson of Guan Yu's old thief! The last general is willing to give up everything and be a first-timer. But ask General Zhenxi to fulfill it! ”

Regarding Pang Hui's feelings, Zhong Hui actually disagrees very much: The two armies are fighting, your father is defeated and captured and refuses to surrender, isn't it normal to be beheaded by the enemy? What is this? Over the years, you have killed fewer people on the battlefield? All of them are as you think, don't they all have to face countless assassinations under the battlefield?

However, this stupid old man's excited appearance can be used for morale. Well, take you with me.

Now, Zhong Hui, who knows that he is in a cage, although he is very remorseful and anxious in his heart, his mind is not in turmoil. From the 19th, after receiving the news of the fall of Baishui Pass, and on the 20th, after receiving the news of the fall of Yang'an Pass. Zhong Hui's response was relatively safe.

On the side of Baishui Pass, the protector Hu Lie was responsible for the attack, and in addition to the 10,000 people brought by Hu Lie, he also supported 10,000 people from the Sword Pavilion camp. To tell the truth, even if Baishui Pass is taken, it is not of great significance: from Baishui Pass to Qiaotou and then to Qishan Daying, this road is afraid that it will not be more than a thousand miles away, and there are no large towns along the way that can support more than 100,000 people to eat and chew, even if this road is opened, the whole army can withdraw from this encirclement, and on the way back, at least more than half of them will starve to death!

Therefore, the real, only way to survive is still in Yang'an Pass!

On the side of Yang'an Pass, Zhong Hui personally led 30,000 people to the north. With the addition of Xiahou Xian's early troops of 10,000, the total is 40,000.

The supervising army Wei Guan, led 50,000 soldiers and 40,000 people, and continued to sit in the camp of the Sword Pavilion to guard against Jiang Wei in the Sword Pavilion. Yes, before going north to Yang'an Pass, Zhong Hui opened his arsenal and armed all 40,000 people - at this time, if everyone wants to go home, then let's huddle together and fight hard.

Hurrying and hurrying, Zhong Hui, who had only squinted on horseback for two consecutive nights, finally arrived at Yang'an Pass in the early morning of the 22nd.

"The last general meets with General Zhenxi."

"Huh, huh? These rammed earth walls ......"

"General Rongyu! This wall is really weird! ”

Here, Xiahou Xian began to explain to Zhong Hui the cement wall they had never seen, and a figure over there had already driven the horses and rode alone to the city of Yang'an Pass.

"Pang Lingming, the son of Pang Lingming, Marquis of Great Wei Zhuang, will be here! The scumbag of the Guan family dares to go out of the customs and fight with me! ”
