"Your Majesty, this Sword Pavilion Pass is located on the high ground, not only will our army have to attack on the back, but the power of the Divine Thunder Cannon and the bow and crossbow will also be greatly reduced, and it is almost useless, and it is not easy to attack."

Su Zhe could see the danger of the Sword Pavilion, and Lu Xun could naturally see it.

"How difficult is this Sword Pavilion to attack, then you have to try to attack it first, so that the soldiers are full of food and drink, and launch a tentative attack tomorrow morning."

Su Zhe then returned to the camp and passed down the order.

At dawn the next day, after the soldiers of the three armies had a full meal, Su Zhe gathered nearly 100,000 soldiers and lined up under the city.

Su Zhe gave an order, and the war drums in the Wei army's formation rose to the sky, breaking the silence inside and outside the city.

100,000 soldiers of the Wei army formed a large and small military formation and began to advance towards the Sword Pavilion Pass.

The terrain in front of him gradually narrowed, and when approaching the city of Guancheng a hundred steps, the ground under his feet could only reach more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

The veteran Yan Yan, leading the 7,000 Wei army, held high the big shield, advanced at the forefront, and began to climb the slope and approach the south gate of the Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion was closed, and the sound of the gong warning had already been loud.

In front of the city tower, Liu Bei was wearing gold armor, standing with a sword, and his cold eyes looked down at the front of the city.

In those seemingly calm eyes, there was a faint flicker of unease.

The Sword Pavilion Pass is the first Xiongguan in Yizhou, how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, of course Liu Bei knows very well, this is also the confidence that he dares to straighten his waist and carry Su Zhe's attack after the defeat.

But after all, the previous series of defeats had cast a heavy shadow over Liu Bei's heart, and he had an inexplicable fear of Su Zhe.

Zhuge Liang on the side saw his thoughts, so he smiled and said with relief: "Your Majesty, the enemy's divine thunder cannon is no longer usable, and the Sword Pavilion Pass is as solid as a rock, so there is no need to worry at all, Your Majesty just needs to watch General Yun Chang's performance." ”

Guan Yu also arched his hand and said proudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there are ministers, Su Zhe's people want to set foot in the Sword Pavilion for half a step!" ”

Liu Bei's frowning brows loosened slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and forced a proud smile: "Okay, okay, the Sword Pavilion Guan I will hand over to Yun Chang to you, and I will see how you let the Su thief break the halberd under the city!" ”

After that, Liu Bei waited with Zhuge Liang, climbed to the top of the city tower, and looked down on the battle.

Guan Yu stood proudly with his sword, looked down at the approaching Wei army with disdain, and shouted: "Crossbowmen, release arrows, shoot the enemy!" ”

Tom tom!

The drums of war shook the sky, sending a signal for a counterattack.

On the inside of the city wall, the five thousand crossbowmen commanded by Li Hui immediately bent their bows and opened arrows.

Whoosh!

Five thousand sharp arrows rose into the air, passed over the city wall, crossed an arc, and attacked the Wei army on the slope.

"Raise your shield!" Yan Yan, who had been mentally prepared, immediately shouted.

The soldiers of the Wei army, who were climbing the slope, immediately raised their big shields and formed a formation like tortoise shells to protect the top of their heads.

In the next moment, sharp arrows struck like flying locusts.

The sound of a burst of rain hitting the eaves sounded, and the sharp arrows like rain were all blocked by the Wei army under the shield, and only a few of them shot through the gap and hit the Wei pawn, setting off a few screams.

Yan Yan raised the big shield in front of him, waved the war knife in his hand, and shouted: "Don't stop, rush up in one go!" ”

The soldiers of the Great Wei who survived a hundred battles were all elite soldiers, and they could not be frightened by a few broken arrows, and continued to climb steadily up the slope with the big shield.

Soon, the Wei soldiers approached fifty steps in front of the Sword Pavilion Pass.

This distance was enough for the Wei army's crossbowmen to launch a back-fire.

With Yan Yan's order, five hundred Wei crossbowmen immediately bent their bows and opened arrows, shooting indiscriminately at the enemy city.

There was no way, the terrain of Guancheng was too narrow, and the Wei army could only use five hundred crossbowmen at one time, less than one-tenth of the Han army.

The sharp arrow took off into the air and shot towards the city, and more than a dozen enemy soldiers were immediately shot, and they let out a burst of screams.

Unfortunately, the Wei army had too few crossbowmen to suppress the enemy, and the casualties caused were pitiful.

On the contrary, as soon as the crossbowmen showed their heads and released their arrows, they became the target of the enemy crossbowmen, and a rain of arrows hit, and dozens of crossbowmen were shot to the ground.

The siege team of the Wei army could only climb under the pass without sufficient cover of crossbowmen, withstanding the rain of arrows from the enemy.

"Erect the ladder and attack the city!" Yan Yan shouted.

More than 3,000 Wei soldiers under the root of the city wall immediately erected dozens of cloud ladders and smashed them towards the Sword Pavilion Pass.

Yan Yandao pointed at the head of the city and shouted: "The first one to climb the Sword Pavilion will be rewarded!" ”

The soldiers of the Wei army climbed up like crazy, holding a shield in one hand and grasping the ladder with the other.

Tackling the problem begins.

Guan Yu's red face was still arrogant and disdainful, and he shouted: "The soldiers of the Han Dynasty, haven't you been bullied enough by Wei Gou, today is the time for revenge, kill Ben General!" ”

The Han soldiers along the front line of the city were aroused to fight spirit, roared like beasts, and smashed the flying stones in their hands and the sassal trees one by one towards the Wei army.

The loud sound of the sky and the earth cracking roared at the head of the city.

The flying stones and sassals rolled down, and in an instant, they smashed the Wei army from the ladder, and the screams suddenly rose, and the splashed blood stained the city wall.

Although the number of Wei troops was small, they all forgot about life and death, and climbed towards the ladder one after another.

Although the Wei army was elite, it could not resist the danger of Sword Pavilion Pass after all.

The terrain in front of the city is too narrow, and in such a cross-section, the Wei army can be used to attack the fortified and climb the city, less than a thousand soldiers, and the number is not even as good as the Han army defending the city.

The number of siegers is insufficient, and the long-range suppression of bows and crossbows is not enough, how can it be attacked.

In less than half an hour, the Wei army paid more than 1,000 dead and wounded, but no one was able to climb the gate.

A few hundred steps away, Su Zhe completely saw the danger of the Sword Pavilion clearly through this battle, and it also proved his speculation in his heart:

Attacking head-on, even if he has a million male divisions, he doesn't want to capture the Sword Pavilion

"Yizhou's No. 1 Xiongguan is really worthy of its name." Su Zhe sighed, raised his whip and said: "Pass the order, there is no need to make senseless sacrifices, Mingjin will withdraw the troops." ”

The order was passed down, and the sound of gold in the Chinese army suddenly rose.

Yan Yan, who was fighting hard in front, although he was unwilling, how dare he disobey the order, so he had to shout: "Withdraw the troops, the whole army retreats!" ”

The soldiers of the Wei army, who had fought hard to no avail, also breathed a sigh of relief, discarded the siege equipment such as cloud ladders, and retreated from the city wall one after another.

Thousands of Wei troops did not panic, they still formed a shield formation, and slowly retreated.

The next 100,000 troops also retreated in an orderly manner.

At the head of the city, the Han army was so excited that they cheered, and the screams of excited beasts resounded throughout the city

Although they killed and wounded more than 1,000 Wei troops in this battle, for the Han army, which had been defeated in successive battles, it was like an unprecedented "unprecedented" victory, which could not make them excited.

On the city tower, Liu Bei, who had always pinched a handful of sweat, was also smiling, and couldn't help laughing loudly, and said sarcastically: "Su thief, Su thief, I finally tasted the taste of the broken halberd city, hahaha——"
