In the northwest of Hanzhong, Yangping, which was originally the first Xiongguan in Yizhou, has become unrecognizable under the baptism of war at this time, and even has a feeling of "the city wall has been bombarded by a short end".

On the city wall, the soldiers held a strong shield on their heads, half-squatted on the edge, and the other hand or held a sword, or a spear, poked out from time to time, every time they shot, there was a siege soldier fell under the city, the corpses under the city have been piled up into the mound, and the blood is soaked in the land of Yangping.

One mile away from Yangping Pass, I saw a large number of soldiers and horses gathering, in front of the army, Cao Zhen was straddling a horse, staring forward with blue eyes, and there was no trace of emotion on his face.

Compared with Cao Zhen, Sun Li on his side had a much richer expression, sometimes frowning, sometimes pouting, as the siege soldiers were shot down again, Sun Li hesitated again and again, and finally said to Cao Zhen: "Governor, our army has suffered too many casualties!" Since the day of the siege, our army has suffered nearly 40,000 casualties! ”

Listening to Sun Li's report, Cao Zhen was still staring at Yangping Pass, his hand gently pulled the reins, the horse's head shook slightly, Cao Zhen asked lightly: "How many casualties are the Shu army?" ”

"I can't find out, there must be about four or five thousand people." After bowing his head and making a rough calculation in his heart, Sun Li replied.

"Wrong!" Cao Zhen shouted loudly.

"What the governor of Pontus saw was the annihilation of the Shu army!"

Hearing this, Sun Li was dumbfounded, and he was a little at a loss for a while, "Metropolitan Governor, that Yangping Pass ......"

"Since Chang'an transferred 50,000 troops, our army has a total of 150,000 people, divided into three batches, each batch of siege for four hours, there has never been a moment of rest, and the enemy army is difficult to get stability, it is even more difficult to get time to rest, now it seems that although Yangping is difficult to attack, but with the postponement of time, the Shu army will become more and more tired, and one day it will completely collapse, and this day must not be far away." Cao Zhen's eyes were firm.

"The four or five thousand casualties you see today are actually the precursors of the total annihilation of the Shu army." An unnatural smile appeared on Cao Zhen's cold face, and he made people furious.

"But the casualties are too great!" Sun Li let out a long sigh of pain.

Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city is high and the walls are hard, if it is appropriate, it is not impossible to block a million troops, but there must be enough defenders. Now, the Shu army is not more than 10,000, but the Wei army has 150,000, and the weapons and grain are complete.

However, even so, Yangping Pass is also a difficult bone to gnaw, if you want to take Yangping Pass, it is impossible not to jump a few teeth, although you have been mentally prepared for a lot of losses, but seeing the real situation, Sun Li is still a little sad, especially when you see that they are attacking with the most rigid siege method.

"Dadudu, this is sending you to death!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhen seemed to be stimulated, and immediately turned his head to stare at Sun Li, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you have a good way?" ”

After all, Cao Zhen is a general who has entered the eighth-order mystery, and his momentum is so strong that it is no longer something that Sun Li's sixth-level talisman master can contend with, being stared at by him so closely, in a panic, Sun Li couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, sweat soaked his clothes, even if it is now September, he can still feel a trace of coolness.

"The end will not... No. Finally couldn't bear it anymore, Sun Li lowered his head and replied resignedly.

"No, just watch, you just see today's casualties, if our army wins this battle, with the current strength of Shu, Hanzhong to CD, it is estimated that there are less than 50,000 people, then our army will go all the way south, and it will be able to attack CD in less than a year, and there will be about 100,000 casualties before and after; If this battle is not won, when Shu passes this most difficult moment, then our army will definitely be several times more difficult to destroy Shu than now, and the casualties are afraid that there are hundreds of thousands. ”

"The last general is unwilling!" was completely crushed by Cao Zhen's momentum of looking at the world, Sun Li couldn't raise the slightest bit of resistance, so he had to whisper to his heart.

"Seeing such damage, how could the Governor of Pontus be indifferent, and how could he not be heartbroken, but the Governor of Pontus had to keep comforting himself in his heart, today's casualties are to take Shu as soon as possible, and to shed less blood and sacrifice in the future!"

"The last general is wrong!" With both hands clenched into fists, Sun Li bowed and admitted.

"It's good that you can understand, pass on the order of the overseer, after a quarter of an hour, withdraw the siege personnel and replace them with catapult shelling!" Seeing that Sun Li was no longer complaining, Cao Zhen took another look at the devastated Yangping Pass and ordered.

"The Metropolitan Governor! Get ready for catapult shelling! The herald rode to the forward position and shouted.

The last siege failed, the Wei army was protected by a strong shield, and quickly evacuated Yangping Pass, after its evacuation, dozens of huge equipment made of rough wood were pulled up again, only to see that the support was covered with talismans, which looked extremely Shinto.

This is the siege vehicle in this world, which is attached to the power of runes, and its throws are not the stones seen on TV, but the solids specially condensed by the runes, which are mixed with Xuan Qi or runes, and are restrained by each other at a very unstable equilibrium point, once they are violently impacted, they will destroy the balance of the two, and then cause violent explosions and cause damage.

The projectile was in place, and as the herald shouted, dozens of catapults waved in unison, and the wooden frame covered with sigils brought a black and white scene in front of them. After the throwing object the size of a wine jar slashed in the air, it crashed into Yangping Pass, and after the throwing object emitted a light, accompanied by the sound of cracking, Xuan Qi and rune power raged, giving the surrounding a piece of destruction.

The bombardment continued, the wall of Yangping Pass was shattered again, the gravel continued to fall, and another difficult battle fell on the defenders of Yangping.

South, CD City, among the royal palaces.

Liu Chan bowed his head at the head of the case and pondered for a few moments, and said lightly: "Do you have a way?" ”

In the audience, Chen Dao, Qin Mi, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Guo Youzhi, Xiang Zhong and others shook their heads one after another, looking very helpless.

Just as in the face of all strength, all conspiracies are useless, this time Cao Zhen's 150,000 army is peaceful, if he doesn't play any tricks, it is a strong attack, and it depends on who can carry whom.

Seeing that everyone had no idea, Liu Chan pondered for a while, and then said loudly: "Since you have no choice, then let me go to Yangping in person and fight with all the soldiers in Yangping. ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Qin Mi said.

"Your Majesty's golden body, don't risk your life lightly! I am willing to go to Yangping for Your Majesty! Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others dissuaded.

"You know that General Zhao is a person, since he wrote in the letter that we should prepare early, I am afraid that I am also worried, worried that we will lose! General Zhao was not completely sure, and even prepared for defeat, so it can be seen that the situation in Yangping will only be worse than in the letter. Liu Chan said.

"Yangping is a big matter, if it is lost, Hanzhong is in danger, then Meng Da and Meng Shu are also afraid that they will make a comeback and compete for the land in my Shu, when the three-way army will attack together, and my Shu will really have the disaster of destruction! Therefore, this battle of Yangping is related to the life and death of our Shu, and it is necessary for me to be with the soldiers and inspire our army to swear to defend Yangping! ”

"Your Majesty!" The crowd fell to their knees and cried out.

"Chen Dao, you assemble the dragoon forbidden army outside the city, and after half an hour, set off for Yangping with me!" Ignoring the dissuasion of the crowd, Liu Chan looked at Chen Dao, and then ordered.

"No!" Chen Zhi shouted loudly.
