After dividing the army and leaving 5,000 people to be assigned to Guan Yu and Chen Qi to defend this mountain pass, Hua Wenxuan led the army out of the mountain and marched west to force Anzhong.

Xiahou Yuan came from Wancheng with troops, and went up and down the avenue, blocking the only way from Wannan to Jingxiang.

Xiahou Yuan is the younger brother of Xiahou Yuan, and he is also a battle-hardened general of the Cao family, far from being comparable to the likes of Le Jin and Zang Ba. He divided the troops into the left, the middle and the right three villages, closely interdependent, backed by the mountains, the front avenue, the grain and the mountain stream, the only way was blocked by the Chinese army village, the three villages are each other's horns, secretly combined with the three talent array, advance can be attacked and retreated.

Xu Shu stood on a high place and looked down, he couldn't help but worry for a while, he looked at Hua Wenxuan beside him, "Xiahou Yuan is a fierce general, and he is eager to be invincible!" ”

Hua Wenxuan looked at Xiahou Yuan's camp from afar, and couldn't help but think that Guo Jia had laid out a similar formation, which was indeed difficult to crack.

Xu Shu looked at Chen Deng on the side, "What can Yuanlong do?" ”

Chen Deng squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, "Sanzhai is each other's horns, unless we attack Sanzhai at the same time, so that it can't echo, otherwise it is dangerous!" ”

Hua Wenxuan had no idea for a while, so he could only urge the army to set up camp opposite Xiahou Yuan Dazhai and write a book to fight.

Who knew that Xiahou Yuan had no intention of responding to the battle, but continued to strengthen the defensive line, waiting for Hua Wenxuan to lead the troops to attack.

Hua Wenxuan looked at the three big villages entrenched in the Anzhong Pass like a turtle from the lookout, and was suddenly at a loss.

On the second day, they gathered in their tents to discuss a plan to defeat the enemy.

Xu Shu drew a rough picture of the surrounding terrain and spread it on the case, "After all, Xiahou Yuan has been on the battlefield for a long time, and these three villages are close to the mountains and roads, blocking the only way to go south, and the water and grain and grass are sufficient, we are in a hurry to fight quickly, and there is not much room for choice at the moment!" ”

Hua Wenxuan frowned and looked at the topographic map, "His three villages are backed by high mountains, if he can take the commanding heights behind the mountain and look down, it should be broken!" ”

Chen Deng followed what Hua Wenxuan said and looked in the direction he said, "This mountain is steep, and the only way up the mountain is blocked by Zhongzhai. ”

Xu Shu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, "This mountain is indeed steep, so Xiahou Yuan must be negligent in taking precautions, if you can take advantage of the mountain, it is indeed a good strategy." ”

Gan Ning said on the side: "Since you can't attack head-on, you can only take it skillfully, so what are you hesitating about!" I'm Gan Xingba from Ba County, I haven't seen any cliffs, I'll take people up the mountain! ”

Everyone looked at Gan Ning, and Xu Shu said silently: "Going up the mountain is only one of them, although you can suppress Sanzhai from the top and down, but if there are few soldiers, you will be bullied by Xiahou Yuan, this is a dangerous move!"

Hua Wenxuan looked at the topographic map drawn by Xu Shu and said softly: "The front of Sanzhai is a big road, and a strong attack will inevitably cause heavy losses, and the only way to do it is to make a dangerous move!" If we hesitate and delay for one more day, Brother Yun will have to keep it for one more day! Hua Wenxuan looked at Gan Ning, "I'll go with Brother Xingba, and I'll hand it over to you!" ”

Xu Shu wanted to speak a few times and stopped, Chen Deng and the others also looked at each other, Hua Wenxuan naturally knew what they were worried about, but now there was no other way, if Gan Ning wanted to take risks alone, once he couldn't break Sanzhai, he would lose everything.

Hua Wenxuan looked at Xu Shu and said with a resolute face: "I have made up my mind!" Brother Yuan, I waited for tonight to take advantage of the night to detour to the back of the mountain, choose the road to the mountain, and take the beacon fire as the number, but when I saw the fire in the mountain behind Sanzhai, Brother Yuan just asked Brother Zilong to lead the army to attack! ”

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

That night, Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning led three thousand elite foot soldiers to take advantage of the moonlight to travel more than ten miles, cutting through thorns and thorns in the mountain streams and dense forests, and finally arrived at the side of the mountain behind Sanzhai when the sky was bright.

In front of them was a steep and smooth rock wall, the mountain stream was full of dew, and the entire rock face was even more slippery, Hua Wenxuan looked at the iron claws and hemp rope that Gan Ning was carrying, and his heart suddenly fell low.

Gan Ning looked at the cliff, pulled a leafy twig in his mouth, looked around, and looked back at everyone, "This mountain wall is steep, but it is not impossible to climb, the more steep it is, Xiahou Yuan will inevitably be negligent in taking precautions, I will take the lead, find a fixed place to make an anchorage, and wait for my anchorage as a tie, you will not be able to fall off the cliff, but only two people can go up at a time!" ”

Gan Ning groaned for a while, and then shouted in a low voice: "This mountain is not high, there may be a sentry on the top of the mountain, no matter when, no sound is allowed before reaching the top of the mountain, and anyone who does not allow the first sound on the way to the mountain will be killed immediately!" Even if you fall off the cliff, you can't make a noise! Do you get it? ”

Everyone on his side was shocked, and before Hua Wenxuan stepped forward, Gan Ning had already taken off his shirt, revealing his tendon meat, and strode towards the cliff.

I saw that he put a plate of hemp rope on his upper body, and found a place where he could start, so he rushed up, sometimes using both hands, climbing with his bare hands, sometimes tying the hemp rope with iron claws, flying hooks jumped in the air, the stone wall was slippery, Gan Ning slipped under his feet several times, and almost fell down, and Hua Wenxuan under the mountain was in a cold sweat.

After climbing for nearly an hour, Gan Ning finally reached a slope that could accommodate several people to rest, so he took off the hemp rope, found a solid rock embedded in the mountain, tied it with hemp rope to make a strong knot, and then threw the lower end of the hemp rope off the cliff.

Gan Ning had already been close to the person, imitating Gan Ning's practice, put on the hemp rope and climbed all the way up along the rope, Gan Ning took a short break, got the hemp rope sent up, and then climbed up.

It wasn't until noon that Gan Ning finally walked along the last section of the cliff, his feet were in the air, and his arms were moving to the top of the mountain.

Hua Wenxuan's empty heart returned to his stomach.

The soldiers quietly followed the five sections of rope left by Gan Ning, slowly climbed upward, but the weight of the rope was limited, each section could only be the same for two people, and the stone wall was slippery in the end, the difficulty of climbing was very high, and from time to time there were soldiers falling from the rope, which hurt the muscles and bones, and the heavy was a life, so when it was Hua Wenxuan's turn, the sky was already completely dark.

Because he was afraid of being discovered, he couldn't even tree torches along the way, Hua Wenxuan followed the people in front of him all the way up, his hands had been blistered with hemp rope, and his arms gradually became weaker.

By the last two sections of rope, Hua Wenxuan had completely lost his strength, he leaned against the cliff wall helplessly, gasping for breath towards Gan Ning on the top of the mountain, and waved his hand again and again.

Gan Ning laughed while finding a rope and went down, teaching Hua Wenxuan to tie himself, and then the soldiers on the top of the mountain dragged him up little by little.

Hua Wenxuan wrapped several pieces of hemp rope under his ribs, and was dragged up little by little, he looked at the pitch black of the mountain stream, and there was a cold mountain wind in his ears, but he was secretly sighing in his heart, this body still has to be practiced!
