Attacking Longguan, it is bound to pay a huge price, but the harvest is also extremely amazing, once the Longguan is broken, Chang'an is close at hand, at this time there are 60,000 Jingzhou troops outside the Keiguan, Chang'an is difficult to mobilize too many troops, otherwise it will not be in Longguan is only three thousand soldiers and horses.

Ma Chao's attack method regardless of losses, the soldiers under his command finally threw the first boulder onto the city wall, although they did not hit a single soldier of the state army, which was a great encouragement for the attacking side.

Seeing this, Wei Xu's face was not very good-looking, although his own side occupied a great advantage, once the enemy's thunderbolt can throw the boulder to the gate, it is not good news for the state army, after all, the number of enemy troops is more than 10,000 people, and they occupy an absolute advantage in numbers.

"Thunderbolt riders do their best to attack the approaching Thunderbolts outside the gate!" Wei Xu said in a deep voice.

The state army is good at using the thunderbolt car, and the characteristics of the thunderbolt are naturally very well understood, at this time, the defenders on the pass only have the soldiers who control the thunderbolt car, once the enemy really begins to attack Longguan, the soldiers hiding under the pass will rush to the pass at the first time, Wei Xu attaches great importance to the defense of this time, and the soldiers under his command have also been trained several times, as long as they hear the order, they will go to their position as quickly as possible.

As for the closure of Longguan, it had been sealed as early as when Ma Chao led the army to arrive, and Ma Chao was not given any opportunity to take advantage of.

The thunderbolts on both sides came and went, even at night.

Three days later, when you close the seal, you can see boulders everywhere, and occasionally you can see blood stains on the boulders.

During the three-day thunderbolt exchange, the state army lost 10 thunderbolts, three of which were hit by the thunderbolts outside the border, and the remaining seven were overwhelmed and damaged.

The losses of the enemy troops outside the pass were relatively large, with 30 Thunderbolts alone being lost, and hundreds of Thunderbolt riders were killed by boulders.

"Lift the bed crossbow to the close!" Wei Xu said in a deep voice, the bed crossbow was originally intended to be used when the enemy army was attacking the key points, but at this time, the situation in Longguan did not allow him to think more, once the enemy army had an absolute advantage in the attack of the thunderbolt, it would be a little difficult to place the bed crossbow on Longguan.

Ma Chao's mood was very bad, especially after the bed crossbow appeared in Longguan, the power of the bed crossbow was undoubted, compared to the speed of the thunderbolt launch, and his own bed crossbow was useless at this time.

Compared with the tragedy of Longguan, Jiguan is also not much better, and the soldiers who can attack Jiguan head-on are no more than 5,000 people, and as a barrier to the east of the river, the necessary place to enter Chang'an, the defenders in Jiguan reached 10,000 people, Zhao Yun rushed from Chang'an, and was ordered to guard Jiguan.

Keiguan is close to the east of the river, so there is no need to worry about the consumption of baggage, and the bed crossbow and thunderbolt are constantly powerful.

The Jingzhou army is in the big tent, Cai Mao looked at the letter from the princes' coalition army in confusion.

"Lord Kuai, Cao Cao said that he borrowed three fierce generals from our army, I don't know what he means?" Cai Mao set her sights on Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue frowned and pondered for a moment and said: "Maybe it's because the generals of the Bingzhou Army are too powerful, and the Marquis of Jin himself is a strong martial artist. ”

"Liu Bei and the other three have also been at peace during this time, and they have not disobeyed the general's orders in the slightest." Cai Mao was a little difficult, in his heart he hoped to greatly weaken Liu Bei's strength, but at this time, he couldn't find a suitable excuse, once Liu Bei left the Jingzhou army, wouldn't it mean that he had no chance.

As if seeing Cai Mao's concern, Kuai Yue said in a low voice: "The general can lend Liu Bei and the other three to Cao Cao, with the shrewdness of Cao Cao and others, how can Liu Bei be saved, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei have a deep grudge, and now Liu Bei's family is still imprisoned in Xuzhou." ”

Cai Mao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "That's right, Cao Cao is the leader of the princes' alliance, and the Jingzhou army should obey his dispatch, and come to pass on Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei." ”

"The general is wise." Kuai Yue arched his hand, he naturally looked down on Liu Bei, Jingzhou represented the Han family at this time, and Liu Bei relied on the identity of the Han family clan to participate in the internal affairs of Jingzhou, at this point, the Kuai family is excluded, anyway, Liu Bei is just a general of the defeated army, and the ruling land of Xuzhou was captured by Cao Cao, and he was stationed in Xinye, more to guard against Cao's army.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Bei and the other three hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cai Mao said: "Since the war with the rebels in Bingzhou, Liu Yuanjun has made great contributions to our army, and now outside Huguan, the war of our army is urgent, and the generals of the Bingzhou army are brave, and the alliance leader has heard of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's bravery, and wants you to go to Huguan to help, I don't know what Xuande thinks?" ”

Liu Bei said respectfully: "Obey the general's orders." At this time, although Liu Bei was under Cai Mao, he was Xuzhou Mu in his position, which was much higher than Cai Mao.

Cai Mao frowned slightly when he heard Liu Bei call herself, and she was even more displeased with Liu Bei in her heart, "Since this is the case, Xuande will order all the soldiers and horses and rush to Huguan overnight." ”

After leaving the big tent, Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly: "It's just a little general, who dares to be so presumptuous in front of his eldest brother." ”

"Yide can't talk nonsense, Cai Mao is the commander of the army appointed by the imperial court, so we naturally have to follow orders." Liu Bei said.

After returning to the camp and telling what he saw and heard in detail, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It may be true that the general of the princes' coalition army was defeated by the state army, but Cai Mao lent the lord to Cao Jun at this time, obviously wanting to borrow a knife to kill people. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Bei and Cao Cao have a deep blood feud, which is known to the world. ”

"The lord doesn't need to worry, everything will be known after the kettle is closed." Zhuge Liangyun said lightly, there was no trace of worry in his expression, as if going to Huguan was a trivial matter for him.

Even Guan Yu had to admire Zhuge Liang for this.

Outside Huguan, facing the battle of the state army one after another, the situation of the princes' army was not good, and after losing several generals one after another, now hearing the news of the war of the state army, the generals under the princes' command remained silent.

The generals of the Bingzhou Army were in the limelight in this battle, such as Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Yang Feng, Zhang Xiu and others, and moved the princes to join forces.

When Cao Cao and other princes were planning to attack Huguan, the soldiers came to report, and Liu Bei and the other three asked to see them outside the tent.

"Hurry up, please." Cao Cao got up and said, although there were a lot of grievances with Liu Bei, it did not prevent him from appreciating Guan Yu, when the princes jointly crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao appreciated Guan Yu very much, and his words also revealed the meaning of solicitation.
