Since the coalition army left Luoyang, the urgent report was reported into the general's mansion like snowflakes. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Yi stayed in the mansion and closed the door, anxiously pacing back and forth outside a room.

Hua Mulan has been in retreat for more than ten days, but she still hasn't come out, and it seems that the soldier's soul has not yet been successfully condensed.

Soldier Soul: Anyone who dominates more than 90 can use spiritual power to condense it, and then give it to the troops, the higher the command, the higher the success rate.

There are three types of soldier spirits, namely: Morale Reduction, Morale Recovery, and Soldier Attack Enhancement (Soldier Strength Enhancement).

Cao Cao brought the tiger and leopard to ride, and Shen Yi hoped to condense the morale and restore the attribute soldier soul and give it to the Zhongzhi army to fight against the tiger and leopard horse, but more than ten days have passed, and Mulan still has not succeeded.

Hua Mulan only has a 90 dominance, the success rate is too low, and Shen Yi himself does not even have the qualifications to condense. The success rate of condensing the soul of the soldier is very low, and some people may not be able to succeed even if it takes several years, with 100 dominance, the success rate of condensation is only ten percent, not to mention that Mulan only has a success rate of one percent.

I wanted to try my luck, but it seemed that there was little hope of waiting for Hua Mulan to condense the soul of the soldiers, and the coalition army was getting closer and closer to Tongguan, Shen Yi ordered Gao Shun to take 10,000 people to Tongguan to defend first, while he himself was busy gathering large troops, and at the same time asked Xu Rong to keep recruiting new soldiers in Chang'an.

The hearts of the people in Chang'an City are already floating, and ordinary people are still very supportive of Shen Yi, they enthusiastically join the army, hoping to do their part to defend Chang'an, but those businessmen and rich people are completely different, they are busy loading their property into carriages and rushing to leave Chang'an, so that Chang'an City has been hard to find in recent days.

Zhang Ji had suggested that Shen Yi close the city gates to prevent them from fleeing, but Shen Yi did not do that, a free Chang'an would be more beneficial to future development, and forcibly detaining them would only discourage more people.

At a time when many merchants were scrambling to flee Chang'an, one merchant actually went the opposite way, buying a large number of goods sold at low prices in the market. Many people were puzzled, and some laughed at him for being stupid, including his partner.

"Su Shuang, do you agree to leave Chang'an?"

Zhang Shiping has been arguing with Su Shuang for more than ten days in a row, but Su Shuang insists on not leaving.

That's right, this pair of businessmen is the Hebei businessman who funded Liu Bei, and I don't know when they came to Chang'an.

Zhang Shiping has decided to have a showdown with Su Shuang, and if Su Shuang disagrees, he will choose to part ways with him.

The two have cooperated for many years, originally they were just small businesses in Hebei, but Su Shuang was a very discerning person, and he was the one who funded Liu Bei back then. After Liu Bei defeated the Yellow Turbans, he specially obtained a lot of convenience for Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, so that the two of them were able to dominate the border trade and rise rapidly.

"Brother Shiping, I won't leave."

Su Shuang replied.

"Are you crazy? When the time comes, Chang'an will fall into chaos, and you won't have time to cry. Forget it, I don't care about you, I have to go anyway. ”

Su Shuang smiled: "I don't think Chang'an will fall." In my opinion, the Great General is an extraordinary man, and this is an opportunity to make a fortune, and we should seize it. ”

Zhang Shiping smiled bitterly: "Won't it fall?" That's 500,000 coalition troops, what can Shen Yi resist? ”

Su Shuang said: "Brother, listen to me, don't leave." ”

Where is Zhang Shiping willing to listen, he is determined to leave Chang'an, Su Shuang has no choice but to say: "Since my brother insists on leaving, I will keep the goods for you, and when the war is over, my brother will come back." ”

Zhang Shiping smiled: "Forget it! If thou wilt have the will, give me half the price of those goods. ”

Su Shuang's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to exchange the goods for silver and give it to Zhang Shiping.

Brother for many years, Zhang Shiping was deeply moved by Su Shuang's performance, and now there is no carriage in Chang'an City, even if Su Shuang does not exchange it for him silver, he can only let those goods go down the drain.

"Virtuous Brother...... Ay! Take care. ”

Parting, Zhang Shiping sighed. He was still very reluctant to this brother, but he couldn't be destroyed here with him.

Zhang Shiping always thought that Su Shuang was a smart person, but now he had to change his mind. He didn't want to say anything more about this fool.

Tongguan.

Gao Shun arrived at Tongguan and ordered the soldiers to hurry up to strengthen the city defenses, a large number of rolling wood and stones were carried to the city, and a large amount of fire oil was prepared, and the city gate was completely blocked with large stones.

Three days later, the coalition forces had assembled twenty miles away. Gao Shun knew very well that this would be a tough battle, and he had to hold on until Shen Yi's army arrived, could he wait for it alive? He didn't think about it.

When Cao Cao learned that there were only 10,000 defenders at Tongguan, he immediately gave the order to attack the city.

The main attack was the sword and shield soldiers of Li Dian's department, and behind him was the support of Xiahou Yuan's archers.

Gao Shun at the head of the city, looking at the black Cao soldiers, indifferently pulled out his sword and stood at the forefront of the city.

"Attack."

With Li Dian's shout, the dense Cao soldiers carried a series of ladders, blocked them with shields, and began to attack the city.

A dense rain of arrows was shot from the top of the city, and some of Cao's soldiers fell, but more people rushed to the bottom of the city.

The ladder was erected, and the Cao soldiers braved the rolling wood and stones, desperately rushing up, and some soldiers were smashed down and directly crushed into meat paste.

"Shoot."

At the sound of an order, Xiahou Yuan's archers began to provide support to Li Dian's army.

As soon as the divine bow method was launched, the sound of the bowstring on the battlefield sounded into a sound, and the dense rain of arrows fell to the head of Tongguan like a waterfall, and some even crossed the city pass, and the miscellaneous servants engaged in stone and wood transportation after the pass were also shot to death.

The Gao Shun army at the head of the city was killed and wounded, and they couldn't raise their heads at all under the dense rain of arrows. Under the cover of archers, Li Dianjun finally rushed to the city wall and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Gao Shun's army.

"Hahaha! Just Tongguan, it can be broken overnight. Li Dian laughed proudly.

"The will to fall into battle, there is advance but no retreat, there is death but no life."

With Gao Shun's roar, an aura shrouded the city.

Ambition - Attack and defense are greatly increased, and adversity is granted.

Adversity: Inspire soldiers when they are at a disadvantage.

For a time, every soldier of Gao Shunjun fell into a state of madness, and the heart of death was ignited in everyone's heart.

Some soldiers were cut off with one arm cut off and still fighting, while others were pierced through their chests and rolled down the wall with each other in their arms, and the battle fell into a tragic situation......

After the battle lasted until dark, and both sides paid heavy casualties, Cao's army was forced to retreat, and the dead bodies under the city were piled up to half the height of the city.

On the third day, Gao Shun held out for three whole days, and when the third day came, the corpses under the city had been piled up like a hillside, and Cao Bing could rush to the city without even using a ladder to step on the corpses.

At this time, Shen Yi had just set off from Chang'an with 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and other available generals all went on the expedition, and Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, and Chen Gong also served as deputy generals, leaving only 40,000 people for Mulan to guard Chang'an.
