Baidi City, by the mountain and by the water, with the White Emperor Mountain as the back, the front is bowed on the Yangtze River.

Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, not only the land of Shuchuan, but also the Yangtze River waterway, with the White Emperor City as the core, the nearby rivers are all nine bends and eighteen bends.

And the White Emperor City is an important pass where the Yangtze River enters Xichuan, and without taking the White Emperor City, the Wu warships cannot enter Shuchuan.

A city guards the river, and ten thousand ships do not cross the river.

Zhang Ren's tall and somewhat elegant body stood on top of the gate of the White Emperor City, with his hands behind his back, looking at the endless water villages on the surging river, his expression gloomy and cold.

"A certain family is not afraid of your onslaught, but I am afraid that you will not dare to charge!" Zhang Ren looked at the calm river and muttered to himself: "Now that the wind and waves are calm, a certain family's heart is a little afraid to be at peace!" ”

A few days ago, the soldiers of the Wu army, who attacked the White Emperor City fiercely, actually stopped eating completely in the past few days, did not call for war, and did not come to the city, as if the Wu army had withdrawn.

But the more quiet it was, the more uneasy it was in Zhang Ren's heart.

What are Sun Ce and Gan Ning planning?

Zhang Ren always had some confusion in his heart.

But he knew very well that Wu Jun was bound to win the White Emperor City, so he could only respond to all changes without moving.

"Scout Captain!"

After half a ring, he whispered.

"In!" A lieutenant quickly stepped out of the ranks of generals behind him.

"You send another wave of elite scouts to go deep into the Wu Army's Water Village, you must know the details of the Wu Army's every move on the Jiangshui Village!" Zhang Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, and his words were resolute: "If they have any moves, report to me as soon as possible!" ”

"No!"

The Scout Lieutenant took the order and left.

"General Zhang, the Wu army has not attacked now. So how long are we going to wait? Why don't we take the initiative to attack, with our current strength, we will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor. ”

The one-eyed man Zhang Fei stood behind Zhang Ren with a somewhat indifferent expression, his one-eyed eyes were hideous and murderous.

White Emperor City is actually not weak in terms of military strength, but it is definitely inferior to the Wu army in terms of combat effectiveness. Because most of them are the latest trained elites.

"Sortie?"

When Zhang Ren heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and his eyes looked at Zhang Fei with some suspicion.

Damn, I forgot about this shit.

A good Wu Jun, a good Sun Ce, it turns out that you have the idea of braking with quiet, just to want us to be unable to hold our breath and take the initiative to attack.

"Three generals. Our task is to defend the White Emperor City, don't forget, the White Emperor City is the horn of the Pujia Pass, if the White Emperor City is a little missed, the Pujia Pass will lose the force of the Xiongguan, so if you don't have my military order, dare to attack without authorization. I will not forgive! ”

Zhang Ren figured out Wu Jun's intentions, but his expression settled down. looked at Zhang Fei with a somewhat cold gaze and reminded.

He clearly knew in his heart why Liu Bei made Zhang Fei his deputy general, it was nothing more than distrusting him, which was normal, but he was Zhang Ren, and he could allow Zhang Fei to spy on him. But on the battlefield, he never had any compromises.

His soldiers, he commanded, even Zhang Fei could not control Zhang's military orders.

"Hmph, so-and-so knows, please rest assured. Brother asked me to listen to your orders, as long as you don't surrender to Sun Wu, I will never make an assertion, as long as you give an order, I will charge into battle, at any cost! ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he just snorted coldly, but he was not as manic and violent as the generals expected in their hearts, but he replied very calmly.

Suffer a loss, grow a wisdom.

Since the Battle of Peicheng, Zhang Fei escaped by breaking out a big move at the cost of vitality, his body was injured, his meridians were damaged, and the sequelae left behind were much more serious than he imagined.

Not only will his strong martial arts not only be unable to progress in the future, but he will no longer be able to reach Guan Yu's current realm, and he will not even be able to maintain the realm of Qi cultivation and success.

He has fallen into the realm of Xiaocheng, a gap in a small realm, and his combat effectiveness is earth-shattering.

However, there were gains and losses, and that battle gave him Zhang Fei an unforgettable humiliation, even more unforgettable than when he was blinded by Wang Yue in Xiangyang.

This lesson made his heart calm down a lot, before the war Liu Bei had told him that this battle let Zhang Ren fight, he was just an assistant and overseer, not a mistake, so he suppressed his mania.

"Three generals, although my Zhang Ren and Xuande Gong's ideas are different, but now our generals of Shu are both glorious and lossy, for Shu and Xichuan, although I will die nine times and will not surrender!"

Zhang Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Zhang Fei, who was not afraid of his words, he was not disgusted, but his heart was a little stable.

A calm Zhang Fei will not only not be his resistance, but a big help for him.

There is an unsolvable contradiction between him and Liu Bei, Liu Bei is now fledgling, and he is bound to replace Liu Xun, and he is loyal to Liu Zhang.

Although Liu Zhang is a little dizzy, he relies heavily on him Zhang Ren, and has never failed him at all, he has never regretted it until he dies, Liu Zhang is dead, he has nothing to do, Liu Xun is the only reason he can give himself to live now.

If Liu Xun dies, he has no value in existence, but if Liu Xun does not die, Liu Bei will not be able to correct his name, and there will be no two days.

This is the contradiction between him and Liu Bei, after this battle, if it is still Shu, they will inevitably fight.

But contradictions are contradictions, this is only a contradiction within the Shu Kingdom, and he still has a consistent view of the overall situation of the outside world, otherwise he would not have entered Chengdu alone after Liu Zhang's death.

If Shu is gone, everything will be lost, whether it is Liu Bei, or if he fights again, there is no point, not for Liu Bei, even if it is for Liu Xun, he will not surrender to Sun Wu.

"Hmph, I hope you Zhang Ren will do what he says, otherwise my Zhangba snake spear will definitely pierce your neck!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, his copper-bell-like eyes flashed with a gleam.

Although he is calm, he doesn't trust Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren is Zhao Yun's senior brother, and under the same family, the friendship between the teachers may not be able to make him surrender.

When Zhang Ren heard this, he was silent for a while. Don't really care.

His eyes looked at the sparkling river, and suddenly remembered that before he left the mountain, the little boy who was accepted by his master as a closed disciple, and now Zhao Zilong, the general of the Great Wu Hussars, who has become famous all over the world.

For Zhao Zilong, his expression became a little complicated.

……

At this moment, five miles east of the White Emperor City, on the corner of the river. Wu Jun Shuizhai, the generals of the Right Route Army of the Western Expeditionary Army gathered together.

This is Sun Ce's debut battle after Xuanwu Gate, and compared with the mentality of the generals present who are dedicated to making meritorious contributions, his mood is more nervous.

Whether this battle is fought well or not is very important to him, he wants to prove that he belongs to the battlefield, and he also wants to prove that Sun Quan was right not to kill him back then, so he can't make a mistake.

"Staff Officer Chen. The five-day strong attack played the morale of the right army, although the casualties were not small, but suppressed the momentum of the Shu army, and the three-day truce also created a mysterious illusion for them, what should we do next? ”

Sun Ce looked at Chen Gong and asked humbly.

"Patience!"

Chen Gong heard this. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a word came out of his mouth.

"Patience?" Gan Ning heard this. I was a little unhappy in my heart, and said, "What does Counselor Chen mean, let's wait!" ”

"That's right, wait, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move!" Chen Gong said softly: "Compared to the strong attack a few days ago. The truce of these days, our quietness will give them an oppressive atmosphere, and this is when we need to be more patient. ”

"Staff Officer Chen, isn't Zhang Ren a person who can lead him so casually?" Gan Ning said in a low voice: "If you can't lead him to battle, wouldn't it be a waste of time!" ”

"I believe that Zhang Ren can hold on. This person is patient, calm and calm, and very good at fighting, but I don't believe that Zhang Fei can be stable for long! ”

Chen Gong said pointedly.

"Jin Yiwei's monitoring of Zhang Fei has never weakened during this time, it is rumored that he suffered a big loss in the battle of Peicheng, and his heart has become much calmer!"

Sun Ce thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Whether we will do this is counterproductive, but it gives them time to breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Hehe, I once said something to His Majesty in the Military Aircraft Department, dogs can never change to eat, some people's nature is like this, it will not change for a hundred years, but it has gone through some hardships and suppressed his nature, guide it well, it will explode!"

Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Good!"

Sun Ce carefully considered Chen Gong's words, and said: "Then I will wait a little longer, but it can only be limited to ten days, if you can't detonate Zhang Fei's fighting intent and lead him to attack, I can only attack!" ”

"Please rest assured, the public will make good use of this time!"

Chen Gong nodded.

――――――――――――――――

Compared with the short-lived calm phenomenon that has emerged in the Battle of White Emperor City now, the Battle of Pujia Pass is much hotter.

At the end of August, almost the beginning of autumn, the scorching summer breath has not completely passed, and a round of fireballs hangs high in the sky.

Under the fiery light, the battle of Pujia Pass was fierce.

"Deng Erlang first, I will be on the road in every battle, I am invincible, forward, forward!"

"Trapped, trapped, unstoppable, fight! War! War! ”

The frontal battlefield is under the command of Gao Shun, the main general, and the offensive rhythm of Pujia Pass is very strong, and he is the vanguard and invincible.

"The 1st Southern Division relayed to the camp first and opened a gap."

"The Second Northern Division will meet it, and we must not let the defenders above the city pass have a trace of sons and daughters, push the crashing car up, hit it, and open a gap!"

“……”

There were two divisions of the Northern Army, one division of the Southern Army, two divisions of the Western Army, and the strength of the five divisions was based on the two elite soldiers of the first camp and the trapping camp as the offensive arrows, and Gao Shun directly pressed all his brains.

As the soldiers and horses under the command of the Jiangdong Battalion of the first battalion of the Wu Army, whether it is the Northern Army, the Southern Army, or the Western Army, they are all elite soldiers selected from all walks of life in those years, and they are well-equipped, and they are also first-class elites in the Wu Army.

This force was killed, which immediately doubled the pressure on the Shu army defending the city.

And at this moment, the lord guarding the city pass will be Liu Bei.

"Shu Jun's sons, Lone and Er are the same, kill these Wu thieves and dogs Lonely!"

Liu Bei personally guarded the main pass, and he had the wind of taking the lead, and now the morale of the Shu army was inferior, and in the face of a stormy attack, he could only suppress the morale with his body.

"Kill!"

"Hold the walls and keep them from coming up!"

"Throw stones, smash all the ladders of Wu Jun down for me!"

Pang Xi and Wei Yan were the guards of the pass, Liu Bei boosted their morale, the two personally killed, commanded the battle, and relied on the Pujia City Pass, but they blocked their progress.

The frontal battlefield was fierce, and the wings on the left and right sides were also fierce battles.

"The ladder, put the ladder up, the first row will stabilize the ladder, and the second row will go up, at all costs, rush up and take the city!"

"Bow and arrow battalion, three rounds in unison, facing the head of the city, full coverage, covering the siege soldiers!"

“……”

Under the Niutou Pass, Dong Raid was crazy about fighting, and the guard Chen Dao in the face was not afraid at all, and he charged three times, and he had already hit the city wall and began to attack.

"This pass is too small, wait for the column to attack the formation, kill!"

“……”

"Along the geographical location of the plank road, we attack alternately, from now on, there is no retreat drumming, no half a step back, no time to give the Shu army in the city pass half a little time to rest, gong!"

“……”

On top of a main mountain peak in the distance, Sun Quan's slender body stood on top of the hill, holding a telescope in his hand, and he couldn't take his eyes off all the battles.

"Yuan Zhi, it's too much of a loss to fight in our way!"

Looking at the extremely tragic siege battles, Sun Quan's handsome face was a little ugly, although the casualties were still expected by him.

But the severity of the tragedy was already a little unbearable for him.

The success or failure of a war is that the time and place are favorable, and the time is unfavorable to the Wu army, and the excessively hot atmosphere makes the soldiers consume too much physical strength in the strong attack, and many soldiers have some signs of heat stroke.

The geographical location was originally the biggest shortcoming of the Wu army, and in the face of this first-class Xiongguan in the world, even if the soldiers of the Wu army attacked at all costs, it was difficult to make any progress.

He needs to pay more casualties to restrain the disadvantages of the environment for the Wu army.

After all, the strength of the Wu army is above the Shu army, the morale of the Wu army is above the Shu army, the equipment of the Wu army is above the Shu army, and the cohesion of the Wu army is also above the Shu army.

But if the fight continues for such a long time, the morale of the Wu army will soon fall, no one is an iron man, the Wu army is the elite, but the elite is also afraid of death, once the casualties of the soldiers are too great, the morale of the army will be shaken.

"Your Majesty, the battle will cost casualties, this is a helpless thing!" Xu Shu was also helpless, in the face of this Xiongguan, he couldn't think of a better way.

"I hate fighting tough battles the most, and I don't believe there is no other way!"

Sun Quan put down the binoculars in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to the three armies in my spoken language, and after evening, temporarily withdraw the troops and truce for three days!" ”

"Yes!"

The herald quickly passed on the order. (To be continued.) )
