Xiangyang, Pang Tong Spiritual Hall.

Four slender and dignified young scholars were mourning, among which the young man who chanted the sacrificial text aloud was particularly outstanding, and when it came to the emotional place, he was really in tears, crying blood, and even Cao Ying also shed two cat tears, and the generals of the hundred battles such as Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Zangba and others also showed gloomy faces.

It's night, Cao Ying's official residence.

Cao Ying asked Liu Ye, "Ziyang, are all the gifts that Gu asked you to prepare?" ”

"It's ready." Liu Ye replied respectfully, "There are 100 taels of gold, 100 pieces of cloth, 20 pieces of fine silk, and two beauties. ”

"Hmm." Cao Ying nodded, turned his head to Cheng Yu and said, "There is Lao Zhongde who sent gold, cloth and silk to Shitao Station. ”

Cheng Yu waved his hand and responded: "Take the order below." ”

Waiting for Cheng Yu to leave, Cao Ying said to Jia Kui again: "There is Lao Liangdao to send the two beauties to Meng Jianyi. ”

"Under the command."

Jia Kui also took the order and left.

It wasn't until Jia Kui left that Liu Ye said with some worry: "The lord and Meng Jian and Shi Tao are meeting for the first time, so rashly giving each other a generous gift, in case the two of them are people with elegant surnames, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" ”

"Fine." Cao Ying shook his hand, his eyes showed gloom, and he sighed, "Shi Yuan has been classmates with Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Cui Zhi, and Zhuge Liang for many years, how can they not know the surnames of the four people?" Lone just followed Shi Yuan's plan, and it was expected to be successful. ”

Liu Ye was stunned and said, "Shiyuan's plan? ”

"Not bad." Cao Ying nodded and said, "Shi Yuan tasted and said to Gu before he died, Cui Zhi is upright, quite a national scholar, Meng Jian is a good woman, Shi Tao likes money, both of them are bohemian and unruly people, Zhuge Liang is a genius but a good name, therefore, Lone Cai prepared a number of gold goods and beauties, Meng Jian and Shi Tao will be happy to accept it, and then they can be used by Lonely." ”

Liu Ye said: "But I don't know what gift the lord plans to give Zhuge Liang?" ”

Cao Ying said: "Shi Yuanyan Zhuge Liang is so famous, if he gives gold and goods, he will be disdainful, and if he gives a beautiful woman, he will be refused. ”

……

The mountain wind is howling and the snow is splashing.

Gao Shun rode his horse and stood in front of the Qingniu Pass, his expression cold.

On the official road that is not spacious in front of the pass, the corpses of the soldiers of the Liang army are lying all over the place, the Qingniu Pass is very strong, the resistance of the Wu army is also very tenacious, the Wu general Ling Tong who guards the pass is especially good at inspiring morale, in the face of the Xiliang army wave after wave, endless attack, the Wu army has always maintained a high fighting spirit, and has never had a moment of slackness.

Gao Shun took a deep breath of cold air, his eyes showed resoluteness, he raised his arm and waved it forward, and shouted loudly: "Trapped in the camp...... Attack! ”

"Hahaha, wow!" The leader of the trapped camp behind Gao Shun, Red Prison, slapped his breastplate with the heavy face of the slashing sword, and roared in the sky: "The momentum of the charge ......"

"There is no return!"

Three thousand fallen soldiers responded with a bang, and they leaped out of the army.

"Ambition to fall into battle!"

"There is death and no life!"

"Attack!"

The Red Prison raised his slashing sword and slammed forward, and the five hundred fallen dead soldiers came out of the battle and covered the majestic Qingniu Pass.

The reality is cruel, because the official road in front of Qingniu Pass is too narrow, the three thousand fallen dead soldiers can not rush up, and the Red Prison can only divide the three thousand elite soldiers into six echelons and attack the city one by one, so that the pressure on the defenders of the pass will be much less.

The green cow closes.

The young Ling Tong stood proudly with his hands on the female wall.

Behind Ling Tong, more than a dozen Wu Junjian generals surrounded him like stars and moons, and after more than ten days of fierce fighting, these fierce generals in the army have changed from initial resistance to heartfelt support. Although Ling Tong is young, he is skilled in bowing and horses, and his command is determined, and what makes the soldiers of the three armies even more admired is that although Ling Tong is the righteous brother of the lord, he dares to risk arrows and stones and take the lead!

"Trapped!" An inexplicable coldness suddenly flashed across Ling Tong's face, and the left hand holding the sword handle instantly burst into green tendons, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Is Gao Shun finally going to sacrifice his trapped camp?" ”

"Trapped?"

"An invincible, invincible camp?"

"That's the elite of the Liang Army!"

A hissing inhale sounded behind Ling Tong, and the generals of the Wu army who were surrounding him began to whisper.

Ling Tong smiled coldly, Huo Ran turned around and shouted, "All the soldiers hear clearly! ”

The soldiers of the Wu army on the gate were silent, and everyone's eyes were gathered on Ling Tong, at this moment, only the cold mountain wind blew the dark flag behind Ling Tong, hunting sounded, and on the flag that was stirred by the wind, there was a hideous and flamboyant "Ling" word embroidered.

Catching up with the burning eyes of the Wu army's soldiers, Ling Tong suddenly drew his sword and stabbed straight into the sky.

"The trapped faction is invincible, and that's because they haven't met a real opponent!"

"The trapped camp is invincible, and that's because they haven't encountered the real Xiongguan!"

"This time!" Ling Tong lowered his sword, pointed at the sturdy Qingniu Pass under his feet, and shouted, "In this Qingniu Pass, the myth of being trapped in the camp will be ended!" ”

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

Provoked by Ling Tong's extremely incendiary words, the soldiers of the Wu army began to make noise.

Ling Tongping raised his sword, pointed at the Wu soldiers in front of him, and shouted again: "It is you who will destroy the myth of the invincibility of the trapped camp!" From today onwards, there will be no invincible and invincible trap camp in the world! ”

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

The clamor of the Wu army began to become fanatical.

Outside the Qingniu Pass.

Gao Shun looked at the steep wall from afar, and his face looked unprecedentedly dignified.

In any case, Ling Tong is indeed an opponent worth facing upon, but it is absolutely impossible to block the elite of the 100,000 Liang army with the 5,000 Wu troops on this Qingniu Pass! After more than ten days of tragic offensive and defensive battles, Gao Shun was convinced that the physical strength of the defenders had reached the limit, while the 3,000 camp was recuperating and morale.

No matter how high the fighting spirit is, it can't make up for the huge physical exertion and break the level...... Say it today!

"Charge...... There is no return! ”

"Ambition to be trapped...... There is death and no life! ”

In the deafening sound of the trumpet, the five hundred trapped dead finally killed in front of the pass, the heavy iron armor and the strong shield provided perfect protection for the trapped dead, and the arrows of the defenders could not stop the charge of the dead at all, almost no casualties were paid, and the five hundred dead were killed under the wall.

"Sonorous!"

With a crisp crash, ladders have been set up at the head of the city.

The trapped dead man held the steel knife in his mouth, raised the shield with one hand and the escalator with the other hand to close the fan aid and went up, the rolling wood and stones on the wall fell like rain, and the trapped dead man who climbed on the cloud ladder stuck his body to the cloud ladder as much as possible, and then raised the shield into an oblique angle, and tried to remove the damage of the rolling wood and stones, but there were still many dead soldiers who were smashed under the wall and died tragically on the spot.

But soon, the defenders on the pass discovered the difference between the trapped dead and the ordinary Liang army!

Compared with the ordinary Liang Army infantry, the physical strength and ability to withstand blows of the dead soldiers in the battle are simply incomparable, and the ordinary Liang Army infantry, under the blow of this dense rolling wood and stones, I am afraid that they have already lost their armor and retreated in embarrassment, but the dead soldiers in the trapped camp seem to have taken root on the ladder, and they are completely different under the violent impact of rolling logs and stones.

Moreover, the ladder of the trapped dead is also very different from the ladder of the ordinary Liang army.

The ladder of the ordinary Liang army is reclining, and the defenders can push the ladder out with a spear, but the ladder of the dead is a lap type, and the iron hook knife at the top of the ladder is stuck on the battlements, and more than a dozen dead soldiers climb up the ladder, under the weight of more than 1,000 catties, it is difficult for the defenders to move the ladder from the battlements.

"Stop firing the arrows!" Closing the wall, Ling Tong raised his long knife and shouted loudly, "Archers retreat!" ”

The 500 archers guarding the wall retreated.

"Stop the rock-rolling attacks and change the guns!" A trace of hideous murderous intent flashed across Ling Tong's face, and he shouted loudly, "Now it's the turn of the Liang Army to taste the taste of throwing guns through the body!" ”

Close the wall.

Taking advantage of the slight cessation of the attacks of rolling wood and rocks, the dead soldiers immediately climbed up the ladder like a black bear awakened from hibernation, however, at this moment, a group of Dongwu light soldiers suddenly appeared on the wall, and each Dongwu soldier held a long throwing spear in his hand.

The Red Prison that climbed at the front shivered violently, and howled fiercely: "Throw away the shield and climb up as fast as you can, quickly!" ”

Damn the Dongwu soil dog, he actually learned to use a throwing gun!

Under the sharp throwing spear, no matter how strong the oar is, it will be vulnerable, and no matter how heavy the iron armor is, it will be easily cut, and now, the trapped dead can only race against time! Rush up, be sure to rush up as fast as possible, rush to the head of the city before all the 500 fallen dead are killed, and then hold a section of the wall to clear the way for the second team of dead soldiers to attack!

"Whoa......"

At the sound of Red Prison's order, the five hundred fallen dead threw away their heavy shields and climbed up the ladder with their hands and feet.

At this moment, under Ling Tong's order, a row of throwing guns roared down from the wall, and dozens of dead soldiers who rushed to the front bore the brunt, and in an instant, the iron armor was cut through by the sharp blade, and then penetrated through the chest, and several unlucky soldiers were thrown directly through the head, and fell to the ground with a miserable howl, and died on the spot.

Of course, the battle-hardened dead soldiers would not be intimidated by death, taking advantage of the short gap before the Wu army began the second round of projection, he suddenly accelerated his climbing speed, and suddenly he was already close to the wall, and the Red Prison who rushed to the front even jumped up to the battlements, and slashed sideways with the swords in his hand, and the three Wu soldiers were cut into six in an instant.

The two soldiers who followed behind the Red Prison climbed up to the head of the city, and inserted the big flag rolled up in their hands into the city, and the blood-colored flag suddenly stretched out in the wind, and the word "cool" was written on it!

The rear of the Liang army.

The biased general excitedly said to Gao Shun: "General, look, big banner!" The banner of our army has been planted! ”

"Hahaha...... another general also laughed, "Qingniu Pass has been conquered by the trapped camp!" ”

Only Gao Shun's expression was calm, not happy or sad.

Bloody battle...... This is just the beginning, of course, the trapped camp will be able to conquer the Qingniu Pass in the end, but it is too early to say that the Qingniu Pass has been conquered now, and Ling Tong's counterattack has not yet begun.

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

Seeing that the banner of their own army had been planted at the juncture, the follow-up echelon of the dead soldiers in the battle was full of momentum, and they all accelerated the pace of sprinting, on the other hand, the Wu army on the pass was demoralized, one by one in a panic, and the speed of throwing guns under the pass was also significantly slowed down.

"Kill!"

Red Prison roared, raising his saber and slashing at Ling Tong's head.

Ling Tong snorted and slashed sideways with the long knife in his hand, slamming heavily on the horse chopping knife of the Red Prison, only to hear a loud bang, the horse chopping knife of the Red Prison was slammed away, and the entire huge body also retreated a few steps in a row, almost falling down from the back of the battlement, Ling Tong hit mercilessly, the long knife in his hand volleyed back in the air, and spun and slashed the blood-colored banner fluttering in the wind at the head of the city.

"Stop him!" Red Prison yelled bitterly, "Don't let this guy cut off the banner!" ”

The two trapped dead soldiers howled and rushed towards Ling Tong, two sharp horse chopping knives split the air, and slashed at Ling Tong left and right with a hissing scream, Ling Tong couldn't help but be stunned, just two ordinary soldiers had such a murderous aura, the trapped camp really deserved its name! But...... If you want to stop yourself with this ability, you are very wrong.

"Look for death!"

Ling Tong shouted, the long knife in his hand was full of life, the two trapped dead soldiers had been killed on the spot, the red prison who had just relieved his breath brandished the horse chopping knife and rushed up again without fear of death, but was kicked away by Ling Tong's feet, and before the person could land in the air, Ling Tong had already stepped forward and cut it in two with a knife, although the two trapped dead soldiers who were protecting the banner knew that they would die, but they still met them fearlessly.

But in the end, the two dead soldiers still failed to save the fate of Daqi.

Ling Tongyi stepped on the battlements, turned the long knife sideways and slashed hard, the flagpole of the banner had been cut in two, and the blood-colored flag was in the air, and then fell flutteringly.

The banner fell, and the morale of the Dongwu soldiers on the wall was suddenly boosted, and the offensive of the dead soldiers was frustrated!

……

Xiangyang North Effect, Longzhong.

Cao Ying appeared outside a bamboo forest with Zangba and Zhang Liao, and Zangba said to Cao Ying dissatisfiedly as he walked: "This Zhuge Liang is just a little-known scholar, is it necessary for the lord to come again and again to invite him?" I heard that General Cai Mao is Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law, why didn't the lord let General Cai Mao come forward to recruit him, wouldn't it be trouble-free? ”

"Xuan Gao doesn't know." Cao Ying shook his head and said, "If you are a strange person, you must have quirks, Shi Yuan said that this Zhuge Liang's quirk is to like false fame, if Lone does not come to invite him three times, he will not go out of the mountain no matter what, even if it is hindered by General Cai Mao's affection, I am afraid that he may not be willing to be used by Lone." ”

Zhang Liao said: "I'm afraid that this Zhuge Liang may not have real talent and real learning." ”

Cao Ying said: "Lone believes in Shiyuan's eyesight. ”

Zang said domineeringly: "Lord, the front is Zhuge Liang's hut, and the last general will come forward to call the door." ”

"Don't be reckless." Cao Ying hurriedly said, "Wait for Gu to come forward and call the door in person." ”

……

Yubellypu, Zhang Ren military tent.

Wu Lanji stepped into the tent and said to Zhang Ren: "General, the investigation is clear." ”

"Oh." Zhang Ren hurriedly said, "What's going on?" ”

Wu Lan said: "Zhang Yi, this kid ambushed a team of Cao Jun when he was spying on the news, but he didn't expect that Cao Jun to be Cao Ying's personal team, and as a result, the chief strategist Pang Tong under Cao Ying died, and the clan generals Cao Hong and Cao Xiu also died under the rocks, and almost killed Cao Ying. ”

Zhang Rendao: "What about Zhang Yi?" Can you know the whereabouts of Zhang Yi and the thirty soldiers? ”

Wu Lan said gloomily: "All of them have been killed in battle." ”

"Ugh."

Zhang Ren sighed and was silent.

……

Longzhong, hut

Zhuge Liang gave Cao Ying a long swipe and said loudly: "Meng Cao Gong will not give up, and Liang is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

"With the help of Kong Ming, the big thing is harmonious." Cao Ying stroked his palms and laughed, and then asked, "I wonder if Kong Ming has a good plan to help Gu attack Yong'an?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and replied: "Yong'an is easy to take, but Xichuan is difficult." ”

Cao Ying asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liang has a strategy to help the lord attack Yong'an, but it is difficult to take the land of Xichuan." ”

Cao Ying said: "Why is this? ”

"Shu Road is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in the eyes of the bright but it is no different from Pingchuan, it can be broken, but ......" Zhuge Liang changed his words, and then said, "Since the horse butcher took Xichuan, the implementation of the strategy of Sichuan people governing Sichuan, won the support of the local scholars in Xichuan, and the power of Dongzhou Shi has been uprooted, the current Xichuan can be said to be the heart of the scholars, the people are happy, the three armies are subdued, if the lord leads the army to ask, the Sichuan sergeant clan, the people, and the Sichuan army soldiers will rebel in groups, and Zhang Song, Wang Lei, Fei Shi, etc. are all resourceful people, Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu and others are all veteran generals of a hundred battles, and Xu Huang's 100,000 people are dominating Nanyang and looking at Jingzhou. ”

Cao Ying frowned and said: "If you don't take Xichuan at this time, when the battle of Huainan is over, no matter whether the horse butcher wins or loses, the lone general will no longer have a chance to enter Xichuan. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "This is not the time to cut down the river. ”

Cao Ying asked, "When will it be?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "If it is not bad as expected, the Wu army will be defeated in the battle of Huainan." Zhou Yu's use of troops is powerful, and it can even be called the best in the world, but the strength of the Wu army is too different from the Liang army, and the horse butcher has experienced a hundred battles, and is assisted by Jia Xu, Kuai Yue, Lu Su and other resourceful people, Zhou Yu is difficult to find an opportunity to take advantage of, and without relying on strange tricks, it is impossible for the Wu army to reverse the strategic disadvantage, so the Wu army will be defeated! ”

Cao Ying frowned and said: "If the Wu army is defeated, won't Jiangdong be owned by the horse butcher?" ”

"Not really." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "The Eastern Wu naval army has an absolute advantage, and Shouchun is connected by the Huai River, so although the Wu army is defeated, it can calmly withdraw to Jiangdong from the waterway, and although the horse butcher can get the land of Huainan, but due to the Yangtze River, it is extremely difficult to attack the four counties of Jiangdong, at least within ten years. ”

Cao Ying said: "Go on." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The horse butcher has Huainan, and after a year or two of rest, he will inevitably go south to crusade against Jingxiang, in order to destroy the lord first, and then destroy Sun Wu. When the weather turns hot, Liang has a strategy to make the Liang army undefeated and defeated, and the coalition army will take advantage of the victory to pursue and win a complete victory! ”

Cao Ying said awe-inspiringly: "Oh? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "If defeated, the Liang army will be greatly injured, and the horse butcher will rule Yi, Xu, Yan, Henan, Hebei, Qing, You, and the states have not surrendered for a long time, and they will have different hearts. As for now, the lord must not crusade against Xichuan to lose his troops in vain, but should build warships and refine sailors to prepare for a decisive battle two years later! ”
