Huang Zhong finally seemed to think of something at this time, and replied: "According to the lord's opinion, Zhang Lu will not pay attention to us? Therefore, we can take advantage of his power to resist Cao Pi and copy his back road and take the land of Hanzhong into our pockets? ”

"Yes, Zhang Lu is not that he has no time to take care of us, but his Hanzhong garrison is not enough to resist Cao Pi, and he has no choice but to believe that I have just taken the land of Yizhou, which is fashionable and unstable, and Cao Pi, I am afraid that I want to come too, in this case, we naturally want to surprise these two people, and this time, Cao Cao neither personally marched, nor sent his important generals here, and the person who did it must want to see what Cao Pi is capable of, and I, I just want to see what this Cao Pi is capable of......"

Liu Feng naturally couldn't tell Huang Zhong about the gentleman's agreement between him and Cao Zhi, in addition to Liu Feng and Cao Zhi, even Xu Shu and Pang Tong didn't know about it, so Liu Feng didn't want to make this matter public at this time, he just wanted to use his own way to help Cao Zhi once before saying anything else.

After persuading Huang Zhong, the defenders in Jiameng Pass were under the command of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, and slowly walked out of the pass and headed towards Hanzhong, and several fast horses also rushed to the direction of Yangping Pass in the night, Liu Feng had already issued a death order, once there was a conflict between Zhang Lu and Cao Pi, he must know it as soon as possible.

Overnight, many changes had already taken place at both ends of Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu was still as in the past, sending people to guard the city and observe the movements of Cao Pi's army.

What made Zhang Lu a little happy was that on this day, Cao Pi did not go to the gate early to fight as in the past, such a change made Zhang Lu secretly have some joy in his heart, looking forward to Cao Pi finally finding that he could not break the pass, and he may be about to leave.

But things in the world are often the opposite of wishes, just after noon, when Zhang Lu wanted to lie on the couch to rest, only to hear someone outside the door in a hurry to report, saying that Cao Pi led the army straight to the gate to come, looking at its posture, most of the people who came were not good.

Zhang Lu did not consider the siege of the city at the beginning, only Cao Pi came to fight again today, but under careful questioning, the defenders looked from afar, as if Cao Pi came with a lot of siege equipment, so that Zhang Lu finally felt an unprecedented crisis, although Yangping Pass was in danger to defend, but Cao Pi 80,000 elite soldiers, under the strong attack, it is still unknown who killed the deer, after hearing the words, Zhang Lu did not dare to hold it up, and hurriedly summoned all the generals to the front.

"Cao Pi Xiao'er finally couldn't bear it anymore, most of them were going to launch a strong attack today, but Yangping Pass was dangerous, how could it be easy to take it? We have been preparing for a few days, and today I will let him know the bravery of my Hanzhong son! ”

In the face of the generals under his command, Zhang Lu naturally wanted to make a confident posture, and after some encouragement, he sent all the generals to the city wall of Yangping Pass, and waited for the rolling Cao Pi army.

When Cao Pi really led the army to the bottom of the Yangping Pass, he realized the ease of defending and difficult to attack of the Yangping Pass more than when he watched from a distance before, but the military order has been issued, and naturally he can't retreat because the wall is high and steep, so Cao Pi shouted loudly and raised the handsome flag in his hand, which is to cheer up the soldiers who are ready to attack the city, and the morale of the Cao army soldiers is also quite high at this time, all of them roared and raised the various equipment used in the siege and rushed all the way to the root of the city wall.

Zhang Lu, Ma Chao, Zhang Wei and others naturally saw very clearly on the wall, and seeing that Cao Pi really wanted to attack, they immediately ordered the archers on the city wall to shoot with all their might, and under a rain of arrows, the Cao army under the city wall fell. Zhang Lu saw such a situation above the city, and his complexion was much better.

But Ma Chao's face was very solemn at this time, this Cao Pi had obviously already considered such a situation, this first batch of charging sergeants compared to those he had fought before, whether in armor or weapons, they were much worse, Ma Chao knew at a glance that Cao Pi wanted to use a weaker sergeant to resist a volley in the city first, and when the strength of the bow and arrow arm in Hanzhong was inferior to before, he would send the real elite.

Although he thought of this, Ma Chao did not say anything to persuade him, just because this is an unsolvable situation, even if he knew that the person who came at this time was the weak man in the Cao army, he naturally could not let it rush to the city wall, if that was the case, Yangping Pass would be lost in a short time.

Sure enough, as Ma Chao expected, the first round of Cao Jun's charge had little effect under the rain of arrows from the Hanzhong Bow and Arrow Book, but Cao Pi was not flustered, when the first wave of siege soldiers retreated, under the wave of the handsome flag, another team of sergeants shouted and rushed over.

This time, both in terms of numbers and equipment, it was different from the previous one, and the sergeant in the front row raised his shield high in the hope of being able to withstand the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

At this time, the archers in Hanzhong had already gone through two rounds of salvos, and their arm strength was far from recovering, and the arrows they shot were not as powerful as before, and the distance was much closer.

Although the impact on the Cao army also played a lot of alleviating role, but at this time there were already a lot of Cao troops under the cover of their companions to bring the siege equipment to the root of the city wall, at this time, the archers are useless, if you let the people who hit the root of the city wall arrange the equipment there, it will not be long before there will be a lot of Cao army to climb the city wall of Yangping Pass, so it will not be far from the loss of Yangping Pass.

So, Zhang Lu had to temporarily send the archers to the rear to rest, and instead sent another team of men and horses to push down the city wall one after another.

At this point, the most tragic offensive and defensive battles can be regarded as officially opened, only to see huge stones and wooden stakes and other heavy objects rolling down from the towering city walls, and when the Cao army under the city noticed it, many of his companions had died under these behemoths.

All they could do at this time was to step up the siege equipment and pray that these objects would not fall on their bodies, but at this time it was the time when these objects on the city wall were the most abundant, so the Cao army, who was the first to avoid the rain of arrows and arrive under the city wall, went to seven or eight times out of ten this time.

But at this time, there was no rain of arrows, more and more Cao troops rolled in, and more and more siege equipment were transported to the city, and the stones on the city wall were no longer as dense as before.

took the ladder, slammed the door, and the tragic situation was staged in Yangping Pass, and several hours passed in the fall of flesh and blood.
