All of them knew that this task was almost a mission to death, which was tantamount to sacrificing themselves to cover Liu Bei's breakthrough.

Taking on this task is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate with one foot.

Although the generals knew how important this task was, it was related to Liu Bei's life and death, and it was related to the survival of the Han Kingdom, but when the matter came, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei began to hesitate and couldn't make up their minds to die.

Looking at the generals who did not squeak, Liu Bei's face became gloomy, revealing a look of displeasure.

At this time, Sima Yi said with a straight face: "Generals, now is the time for you to repay Your Majesty's kindness, this is a great opportunity for you to go down in history and recite it for future generations!" ”

Finally, as soon as Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and stepped forward, he wanted to stand up and take over the heavy responsibility of dying.

At this moment, Pound stepped out and shouted, "I'll go!" ”

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a bit of shame in their eyes, secretly complaining that they didn't have the courage to stand up.

Pang De preemptively asked for his life, but Zhao Yun had no choice but to retreat silently.

Liu Bei showed a satisfied expression on his face, and shouted, "Bring the wine!" ”

Wu Ban hurriedly stepped forward and served the two glasses of wine that had been prepared a long time ago.

Liu Bei personally sent a cup to Pang De, raised the cup, and said angrily: "Ling Ming is really loyal and righteous, and the people of the world respect you!" ”

Drink it all.

Pound picked up the wine glass, drank it all, smashed the wine glass on the ground with a "bang", and arched his hand: "The minister is gone, Your Majesty, let's say goodbye!" ”

After that, Pound did not have any sad nonsense, nor did he have passionate and generous tragic and heroic words, picked up his sword, turned over his horse, and went down to the city.

He immediately stood in front of the city gate with a horizontal knife and shouted: "Open the city gate for Lao Tzu!" ”

Liu Bei was busy giving an order, calling to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge.

Pang De pointed at the enemy camp outside the city, and roared sharply: "Soldiers of the Great Han, Your Majesty will take you to break through from the West Gate tonight, this is our only chance to live, follow me Pang De to fight a way out!" ”

Pound took the lead and galloped out of the city gates.

The 5,000 Han soldiers who didn't know the inside story thought that they were really going to break through from the west gate, so they plucked up their courage one by one, roared like a tide and poured out of the city gate, and followed Pang De to kill the Wei camp outside the west gate.

Liu Bei stood at the head of the city, silently watching his five thousand soldiers disappear into the night, and let out a long sigh, his eyes faintly seemed to reveal a little unbearable.

Sima Yi on the side was relieved: "All this is for the great cause of Your Majesty's rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty must not blame yourself." ”

Liu Bei's mood improved slightly, and he sighed: "No need to say more, let's go." ”

Liu Bei and other civil and military generals turned over their horses and went straight to the north gate.

……

East Gate, Wei Ying.

In the imperial tent, the spring is continuous, and the clouds and rain are endless.

On the warm dragon couch, Su Zhe and Zhang Chunhua are turning clouds and rain, enjoying the joy of rain.

He was in a good mood.

The bombardment of the divine thunder artillery during the day has made Yuzhong City crumbling, and if it is bombarded again tomorrow, the enemy city will definitely collapse.

Liu Bei's downfall was imminent, and the battle of the Han Dynasty was about to end, so he couldn't help but be in a good mood.

After drinking a few glasses of wine tonight, Zhang Chunhua helped him pay back the bill, and Su Zhe was interested, so he had a good time with her to vent the happiness in his heart.

After a long time, there was a roar like a lion in the big tent, and the movement like turning the river and the sea fell silent, leaving only a burst of gasp.

"Your Majesty is so powerful, it seems that you are in a good mood today." Zhang Chunhua, who was shrunk in the crook of Su Zhe's arm, gasped again and again, and pointed his fingers at Su Zhe's sweat-soaked chest.

"Liu Bei is about to finish, of course I'm in a good mood." As he spoke, the evil intent in Su Zhe's eyes rose again, and he turned over and pressed Zhang Chunhua down again.

Zhang Chunhua was ashamed, and snorted: "Your Majesty has just finished the matter, why do you want to come again." ”

Su Zhe laughed, like an unfed beast, and was about to pounce on the prey in front of him.

At this moment, Ma Yunlu's voice sounded outside the tent: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!" ”

Su Zhe's good deeds were interrupted, and he was a little unhappy, but when he heard the words "emergency military intelligence", he still forcibly suppressed the burning thoughts, got up lazily and stayed there, and walked out in his clothes under Zhang Chunhua's service.

"Is there anything urgent?" Su Zhe sat down unhurriedly and took a sip of wine to relieve his fatigue.

Ma Yunlu was just about to speak, and Zhang Chunhua also followed.

When she saw that Zhang Chunhua was also there, her face was red, her black hair was messy, and she looked like she had just accepted Jun'en Yulu, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"General Ma is in such a hurry, it won't be Liu Bei who wants to break through." Zhang Chunhua sat next to Su Zhe with a smile.

Ma Yunlu was stunned and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Zhang Chunhua smiled faintly: "Liu Bei's best thing is to escape, the city was bombed like that during the day, he should know that he can't hold it, if he doesn't break through, it doesn't look like him." ”

Ma Yunlu's eyes revealed a hint of strangeness, obviously he didn't expect that the "foxy" concubine next to Su Zhe would have such resourcefulness.

"Yunlu, the big-eared thief won't really break through, right?" Su Zhe put down his wine glass and asked.

Ma Yunlu's thoughts were calm, and he hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, General Zhang of Xiying has sent an urgent report that the Han army is indeed storming our camp and intends to break through!" ”

"The big-eared thief is really going to escape." Su Zhe glanced at Ma Yunlu, and the two of them smiled.

Ma Yunlu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei wants to escape, this just saves us from attacking the city again, please Your Majesty quickly dispatch the army to the West Gate, and you will be able to surround and kill Liu Bei in one fell swoop!" ”

Su Zhe didn't rush to give an order, and looked at Zhang Chunhua with a smile: "Concubine Ai, tell me, does Liu Bei really want to break through from the West Gate?" ”

Zhang Chunhua's eyes turned a few times, but he sneered: "There are so many resourceful people around the big-eared thief, it is impossible for Liu Bei to break through from the West Gate so blatantly, the concubine guesses that the enemy of the West Gate must be just a feint, and the real breakthrough direction of the big-eared thief must be the North Gate." ”

Su Zhe nodded slightly, deeply convinced.

The south gate is the Taoshui River, the temperature has not dropped at this time, the river is not frozen, Liu Bei does not have enough boats, it is impossible to break through from the south gate.

And in the direction of the east gate, where his main camp is located, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses have been stationed, and Liu Bei will not be stupid enough to come and kick the iron plate.

If the attack on the west gate was a feint, Liu Bei would naturally only have to break through from the north gate.

Su Zheteng stood up, waved his hand, and shouted: "Pass the order, transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses to aid Ximen, I don't care if he is a feint attack or a real attack, I am not allowed to let go." ”

Then, he shouted again: "Send an order to Tai Shici, Deng Ai, and Zhang Xiu, and order his three generals to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to immediately launch an attack on Yuzhong City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will all go to the north gate with me to block the enemy!" ”

The order was passed down, and the battalions of soldiers and horses poured out of their nests and launched a final all-out attack on the Han army.
