Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 56 Capture the Wuguan

"Zhang He, you can't go!" With Zhang Bao shouted. The Shohachi Snake Spear has been attacked.

At this time, although Zhang Bao had already caught up, Zhang He still had a trace of luck, feeling that he could still successfully break through, after all, this place is not very far from Wuguan, and there are not many Han troops nearby, if the reinforcements on Wuguan can come out in time, Zhang He can still break through. But then, Guan Xing also attacked.

Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and Huang Chong began to besiege Zhang He. The so-called two fists are hard to defeat with four hands, and the heroes can't stand the crowd, even if it is Lu Bu, he can only run away in the face of Sanying. And now, Zhang He is facing three young players, if he faces one of them alone, Zhang He can win, but in the face of the three of them attacking at the same time, Zhang He gradually became a little unbearable.

Huang Chong has won the true inheritance of Huang Zhong, and the knife technique used is also based on calmness, while Guan Xing's Qinglong Yanyue knife is powerful and heavy, and every collision of weapons will consume a lot of Zhang He's physical strength. As for the attack of the Zhangba snake spear, it is very tricky, and if Zhang He is not careful, he will be poked into a hole by the Zhangba snake spear.

After only ten rounds, Zhang He realized the seriousness of the matter, although the martial arts of the three young generals were not as good as Zhang He, but the three of them were far from being able to defeat Zhang He. There was still no reinforcement in the distance, and after trying to break through a few more times, Zhang He finally realized that the general trend had gone.

Zhang He's heart rose to the feeling of the end of the hero. For a soldier, the death of the horse leather shroud on the battlefield may be regarded as a normal thing, or more like the destination of a soldier, Zhang He has fought for many years, encountered countless dangers, and the opportunity to pass by with death, Zhang He has experienced many times, but they have been resolved by Zhang He. Zhang He also thought that he might die on the battlefield one day, but dying in the hands of three young generals like this is the last thing Zhang He wants to see. Zhang He didn't want to use his life to complete the reputation of the three young generals.

A strong unwillingness rose from Zhang He's heart, and then, this unwillingness turned into helplessness. But then, when Zhang He realized that he was going to die today, this helplessness turned into a strong fighting spirit.

"Since Lao Tzu can't get away today, he will pull a cushion back when he dies!" In the blink of an eye, Zhang He's face had become extremely hideous, slowly. Zhang He has fallen into a state of madness.

"Flutter ......" Zhangba snake spear poked into Zhang He's body, but Zhang He didn't even dodge, and the knife in his hand went straight to Guan Xing next to him.

"Ahh Guan Xing didn't expect Zhang He to even dodge, and he didn't react in time for a while, and Zhang He's knife had already been attached to Guan Xing's chest.

"Be careful!" Huang Chong hurriedly put the big knife in his hand and smashed it on Zhang He's knife, which instantly changed the attack trajectory of Zhang He's big knife, but this knife still left a long wound on Guan Xing's arm.

"Zhang He is crazy!" The three young generals were taken aback at the same time, a general of Zhang He's level, such a crazy attack, the three of them had to be more careful.

Zhang Bao's Zhangba Snake Spear has the longest length and the largest attack range, so Zhang Bao can attack Zhang He from a long distance, but Zhang He's big knife can't reach Zhang Bao because it is not as long as Zhangba's Snake Spear.

As for Huang Chong, the knife technique is relatively stable, and the offensive and defensive lines are impenetrable, and it is difficult for Zhang He to take advantage of Huang Chong.

Only Xingxing, the Qinglong Glaive Knife is originally very heavy, and people who are not born with divine power will find it very inconvenient to use. Guan Xing's arm strength was far inferior to Guan Yu in his heyday, so Guan Xing used the Qinglong Glaive Knife. On the contrary, there is a little bit of unsmoothness.

The contest between masters is often so different. Zhang He saw that Guan Xing was relatively easy to attack, so he attacked Guan Xing like crazy.

At this time, Guan Xing's basic skills have also been reflected, the so-called tiger father has no dog, Guan Xing is also Guan Yu's son, in the face of Zhang He's desperate attack, Guan Xing calmed down and raised his knife to defend it.

If Zhang He is in good condition, maybe the sea can hold on for a while, but now Zhang He has been injured by Zhang Bao, and Zhang He seems to have no problem in a short time, but as time goes by, Zhang He's injury is gradually revealed, and slowly, Zhang He is already a little powerless.

"......" Zhangba snake spear hit Zhang He again, making Zhang He's injury a few points more serious, and his body slowly couldn't keep up with the reaction.

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!" Zhang He was full of anger, and Zhang He had already realized that it was impossible to pull a person on his back.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves had already been heard, but it was not the reinforcements on Wuguan, but Zhao Yun had already arrived.

"Han De really couldn't stop Zhao Yun." Zhang He sighed slightly, and then looked in the direction of Wuguan, reinforcements were no longer possible.

"Huh......" A cold light swept by, and Zhang He hurriedly raised his knife to parry. However, the moment the weapon came into contact, a sense of powerlessness came from Zhang He's arms, and Zhang He's arms were weak, and he could no longer hold this cold light.

"Pounce on the ......" A human head flew up, and a headless corpse suddenly appeared in Zhang Closed's eyes, looking at the armor, it turned out to be his own.

Guan Xing took a sip lightly, looked at the blade that was dripping blood downward, and a smug smile appeared on his face. Cao Ying's first general died under his own sword.

Zhang Bao next to him pursed his mouth, his face was full of unhappiness, Zhang Bao had poked Zhang He several times just now, and almost all the injuries on Zhang He's body were caused by Zhang Bao, but in the end, he didn't pick up the leak.

At this time, Adou also walked over with Zhao Yun.

"See Your Majesty!" The three youngsters saluted Adou at the same time.

"How about blocking Zhang He?" Adou asked eagerly.

"The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has already fought under the horse!" Guan Xing said proudly.

"Okay, rest first, wait until night, and then we will attack Wuguan!"

……

The sun slowly sets, and the moonlight gradually shrouds the edge of the earth.

On the Wu Pass, several generals took turns guarding the city tower, and from time to time they thought about taking a look from afar. Now it's dark, but Zhang He still hasn't come back, although everyone has confidence in Zhang He, after all, during the day, even Zhao Yun has to temporarily avoid Zhang He's edge, but now it's dark, it stands to reason that Zhang He should also come back.

To the east of Wuguan, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, breaking the silence of the night, and the soldiers guarding the pass immediately stood up. Tremblingly staring at the darkness ahead. Since the beginning of the war, Wuguan has been closed, and the merchants will no longer travel between Wuguan, and it stands to reason that no one will come again, not to mention that it is already night.

The soldiers guarding the pass shone their torches downward, hoping to see the people below, and soon, more than a dozen horsemen appeared in the firelight.

"Who's coming? Stop, or we're going to let the arrows go!" The Wei army defending the city shouted, and then a platoon of archers came to the back of the battlements and took their positions, bending their bows and arrows to chase them down.

A middle-aged general walked out and shouted: "I am Sun Li, by His Majesty's holy decree, I came to Wuguan to assist General Zhang He, General Zhang He is here?" ”

A man wearing the armor of a general came to the battlements, glanced at Sun Li below, and then said, "General Sun Li, do you have a certificate?" ”

"Wait, I'll shoot the paperwork up!" Sun Li said, took out the appointment order from his arms, rolled it up and shot it at Wuguan.

The guard on the Wuguan opened it and immediately confirmed Sun Li's identity, and then immediately responded: "General Sun Li, please wait, I will open the city gate immediately." ”

……

At the same time that Sun Li arrived at Wuguan, a team of people also appeared in the west of Wuguan. Judging from the costumes, it was the Wei army who came.

For a person wearing gold armor, holding a big knife, the word "Zhang" on a big flag behind is very conspicuous.

There was another person behind this person, holding a big axe in his hand, and a big "Han" character was written on the flag behind him.

And behind this person, there is a silver-armored old man buried on a horse, with a decadent appearance, it is really Zhao Yun who came to call for battle during the day.

This group of men and horses quickly marched towards Wuguan, and the soldiers in the city also saw this team of men and horses for the first time.

"Hey, that's General Zhang He's banner, is the general back?"

"Yes. Look at the one next to him, the big axe, it must be General Han De. ”

Sure enough, one of the men rushed out of the group, came to the gate and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, the general is injured!" ”

"What's going on?" The city man immediately asked.

"The general was injured by Zhao Yun, but he also captured Zhao Yun alive, after the Han army heard that Zhao Yun was captured, they immediately sent troops to chase after them, and when they opened the city gate and let us in, the Han army was about to chase after them."

The guards on the city looked down, and then the faint light could still tell that the person who was tied up was Zhao Yun, and judging from the banner and armor, the leading general must also be Zhang He.

"Open the city gates, the general is back!" The general defending the city shouted with joy on his face and opened the city gate.

"Kill!" The "Wei army" below suddenly burst out into a deafening shout, and immediately after, this group of "Wei army" actually waved their weapons at the defenders at the city gate.

"It's not good, it's a trick, it's not a general, close the city gate quickly!" The castle guard immediately shouted. By this time, though, it was too late.

Zhao Yun, who was tied behind his back, suddenly shook off the rope on his body, and then took the spear from the person behind him and rushed in first, while the previous "Zhang He" and "Han De" slowly disappeared into the crowd.

This Zhang He and Han De next to him were naturally Adou looking for someone to pretend.

Adou found a person in the army who was somewhat similar to Zhang Hechang, then put on a beard, splashed some dust on his face, and then put on Zhang He's armor, took Zhang He's weapon, raised Zhang He's banner, and prepared to open the gate of Wuguan City.

The ancients were accustomed to growing beards, and Zhang He himself had a lot of beards, others pasted a beard, and then sprinkled some dust on the face, if in the weak light at night, the visibility was already low, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. If someone comes to put on Zhang He's armor and raise Zhang He's banner, it will be difficult for the defenders in the city to distinguish clearly.

Similarly, Han De also painted a scoop according to the gourd, found someone to pretend to be, put on Han De's armor, and Han De's big axe, which was even easier to identify.

At the same time, in order to prevent the guards in the city from being suspicious, Adou also asked Zhao Yun to use a bitter trick again, pretending to be captured, and combining with the fake Zhang to cheat the pass. At the same time, in order to prevent too many words from being lost, Adoubian asked people to say that there were a large number of pursuers behind, and asked the people to open the gate as soon as possible.

Sure enough, the generals on the closed side did not have time to carefully identify Zhang He, and in the dim firelight, the guards in the city could only distinguish by their armor and temperament. Coupled with the joy of Zhao Yun's capture, the city generals opened the city gate smoothly.

……

As soon as Sun Li entered the city, he heard the sound of killing in the west.

"Huh, what's going on? Could it be that the Han army attacked? How could the Han army attack at night? Sun Li looked to the west in confusion.

The attacking side has no terrain advantage, and if it is attacking at night, the visual distance in the dark is very short, which is even more disadvantageous, so under normal circumstances, the besieging side will not choose to attack the city at night.

Sun Li turned around and asked one of the Wuguan generals next to him, "Where is General Zhang He now?" What about the shouts of killing in the west? ”

"Back to General Sun, during the day, the enemy general Zhao Yun once came to challenge, was defeated by General Zhang He, and fled, General Zhang He chased after him, and has not returned yet! As for the shouts of killing in the west, the last general does not know. ”

"Zhang He went out of the customs?" Sun Li's face changed drastically. Then, Sun Li frowned, looked to the west, and then said to the people around him: "Fetch my weapon, let's go over and have a look." ”

As soon as Sun Li's words fell, a rider on the opposite side ran along the street.

"Oh no, the Han army has entered the customs!"

"The Han army has entered the customs!"

"What, the Han army has entered the customs?" Sun Li gasped, and then Sun Li immediately realized that Zhang He was probably more than lucky.

"General, what should I do?" The general next to him hurriedly asked Sun Li. After all, now Sun Li should be regarded as Zhang He's deputy general, although he has not yet taken office, but in this martial arts, Zhang He is not there, and the biggest one is this Sun Li.

Sun Li immediately forced himself to calm down, thought about it slightly, and immediately said: "Since the Han army is coming, it must be prepared, with this bit of people in our martial arts, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, immediately give an order, everyone will retreat to Wancheng first!" Also, immediately send someone to Xiangyang on a fast horse and inform the captain! ”

……

After the Wei army received the order to retreat, it immediately began to withdraw from Wuguan, and at the same time, Adou also kept in mind what Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong said at the beginning, this Nanyang would be ceded to Sun Quan of Eastern Wu sooner or later, so Adou did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but began to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time welcome the follow-up army.

The news of the loss of Wuguan reached the hands of Sima Yi in Xiangyang as soon as possible.

"Zhang He made a mistake, Zhang He made a mistake!" Sima Yi sighed unwillingly.

If Wuguan is lost, the Han army can directly attack Wancheng, and with the few men and horses in Wancheng, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Han army. Similarly, if the Han army did not attack Wancheng, it could also choose to bypass Wancheng, and then go north to cross Luoshui and go directly to Luoyang City.

Now the entire Sili area on the south bank of the Yellow River can be described as an emptiness, and the Han army can easily occupy a large area south of the Yellow River by crossing the Weishui, and will form a flank attack with the southern 6xun.

Tongguan, Wuguan, Xiangyang, Huainan, four ways of attacking, Sima Yi did not plan to be able to hold all of them, but Sima Yi hoped to delay as much time as possible, so that Wei could settle down as soon as possible. That's why Sima Yi wrote to Cao Rong and asked Sun Li to go to Wuguan to help Zhang He. It's just that I didn't expect that Zhang He was defeated too quickly, and before Sun Li arrived, Zhang He had already lost Wuguan.

If Wancheng is lost, it will be equivalent to being robbed on the back road, and Sima Yi will become a lone army, so Sima Yi had no choice but to give up Xiangyang, Fancheng, and Xinye, postpone the battle line to Wancheng and Xiangcheng, and stick to Xudu.

Before the Battle of Cao Cao's Chibi, he also relied on the line of Jiewancheng and Xiangcheng to resist Liu Biao, and Wancheng was even captured by Guan Yu at that time. However, as long as Xiangcheng is garrisoned by a large army, Yingchuan can be safe.

At that time, Yongzhou was owned by Cao Cao, so a mere Wancheng was taken by Liu Bei, which did not play much strategic significance, but now it is different, Adou occupies Guanzhong, and is eyeing the Guandong Sili, if Wancheng is lost again, the Han army can bypass Tongguan through Nanyang and directly attack Sili.

"Hey......" Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Sima Yi's forehead, he didn't expect that the situation would be so bad overnight. It seems that when necessary, Si Li and Nanyang must be abandoned. However, the Huainan line must be defended, otherwise the Han army and the Jiangdong army can attack the Central Plains with the momentum of wind and clouds, and the Wei State is likely to only be trapped in Hebei.

Thinking of this, Sima Yi took out a pen and ink from the side, quickly wrote a fold, and then handed it to his subordinates, and at the same time said: "Immediately present this fold to Your Majesty!" ”

……

Looking at Xiangyang City, which was already empty, a smile finally appeared on 6 Xun's face, this Xiangyang City was finally successful.

Sima Yiken gave up Xiangyang, and he left in such a hurry, presumably because the Han army in Wuguan had already succeeded. However, according to 6 Xun's calculations, Sima Yi will definitely not give up Wancheng easily. However, in the face of two-sided attacks, Wancheng will definitely be difficult to defend.

"Dudu, I have already investigated clearly, Sima Yi really retreated to Wancheng! Moreover, the Han army has also occupied Wuguan. However, the Han army did not continue to attack, but was stationed at Wuguan. ”

"Hmph, this Sima Yi wants to drag time in Wancheng." 6 Xun smiled slightly, and then continued: "Order, the army will rest for a day and leave for Wancheng tomorrow!" ”

……

Wuguan.

Pang Tong had already rushed over from Chang'an.

Adou pointed to the map and said, "Teacher, this Sima Yi has given up Xiangyang and Fancheng and retreated to Wancheng. Now Wancheng is still in the hands of Sima Yi, with Sima Yi's containment, we want to attack Luoyang through Nanyang, but it is not easy! ”

"Your Majesty, this must have been done by Sima Yi in order to delay time." Pang Tong didn't think about it, and immediately replied.

"Delaying time, how do you explain this?"

"Your Majesty, according to the current strength of the Wei army, if you don't transfer the Tianyu Department of Youzhou in the north, it will be difficult for one Sima Yi to hold Nanyang, and if Nanyang is lost, Si Li, Yingchuan, and Runan will all be threatened. Runan connects Huaibei, if the Wei army gives up Yingchuan and Runan, Cao Zhen in Huaibei will be attacked from both sides, and under the trade-off, Sima Yi is afraid that he will give up Sili and keep Yingchuan in Runan. Since Wancheng. Si Li will be lost, Sima Yi will definitely use these places to drag on for some time, so that Cao Zhen can defeat Sun Quan, so after the battle, Cao Wei only lost Nanyang and Si Li, and Huaibei is unharmed, and at the same time, the main force has been preserved, and there is still the strength to fight! ”
