Chapter 283: An aggrieved veteran

Shamoko rolled to the ground, blood pouring all over his body.

He tried to get up, but several muscles and bones on his body were broken by Ma Chao, and he couldn't use his strength at all.

Blood was flowing, and Shamoko felt more and more tired, and he knew he was going to die.

"Big brother, I can't help you calm the world, forgive me."

After Shamoko blamed himself, he suddenly turned over and laughed loudly with his back to the sky, laughing with such rampant and disdain.

Ma Chao looked puzzled, drove his horse forward, pointed the silver gun at the Shamo face on the ground, and asked, "Barbarian, death is on the verge of death, what else is funny about you." ”

Shamoke's rough face faced Ma Chao fearlessly, and he spit blood in his mouth and said: "Lao Tzu is going to die in your hands today, but the general will avenge me sooner or later, you ant gangsters, you can't stop the general's steps to dominate the world, haha-"

The more Shamoke laughed, the more presumptuous he became, as if at this moment, it was not him Shamoke who fell here, but the majestic Ma Chao.

"The defeated generals still dare to be so rampant, hum, Lao Tzu will let you die and die happily."

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao stepped forward and stepped directly on Shamoke's outstretched arm.

The bodies of people and horses, which weigh hundreds of pounds together, were pressed up like this, and only a crisp "click" sound was heard, and Shamoko's arm was trampled to pieces.

Such a heavy blow must have been painful, but instead of screaming in pain, Shamoko gritted his teeth and still laughed.

The horse that rode past him was furious, and with a stroke of his silver spear, hundreds of knights behind him swarmed forward.

Countless pairs of horses' hooves ruthlessly stepped over his legs, feet, shoulders, and abdomen, trampling his body into a blur of flesh and blood, like a mess of mud.

"Happy, happy, haha-"

Shamoko continued to laugh as if the pain in his body was unstoppable, and the arrogant laughter did not disappear until his chest was trampled through.

At this moment, even the cold-blooded Ma Chao, looking at this devil's enemy general, couldn't help but feel a trace of horror in his heart.

At that end of the river, Wei Yan had safely crossed the pontoon bridge, and more than a thousand of his subordinates who could not escape were cut off on the north bank, and the raging fire was ignited, and the victorious Ma Chao set fire to the pontoon bridge.

Standing by the river, looking at the chaotic figures on the other side of the river, as well as the "fire dragon" lying on the river, Wei Yan's heart was extremely uncomfortable.

When Wei Yan counted the defeated soldiers and found that Shamoke was missing, the clouds in his heart were even heavier.

After inquiring around, Wei Yanfang learned from the mouth of the defeated army that Shamoke had died at the hands of Ma Chao.

Hearing this bad news, Wei Yan was quite devastated.

Although Wei Yan has always looked down on this barbarian general in his heart, since the Xiangyang era, Shamoke and his barbarian army have always served as Wei Yan's right-hand man and made a lot of contributions to him.

But now, this brave and warlike barbarian general was buried under Ma Chao's hands because of his own judgment error, and Wei Yan naturally felt a lot of guilt in his heart.

While gathering the defeated army and preparing to fight again, Wei Yan had to blame himself and report the battle of Heyin to Liu Feng, the general on the Yewang front.

#####ε››ε€©δΉ‹εŽ, Liu Feng received this bad news from Heyin.

Liu Feng didn't feel much frustrated by Wei Yanjun's defeat, after all, Wei Yan was facing Ma Chao, and it was a river crossing battle with unfavorable terrain, and it was normal to lose.

What really made Liu Feng angry was Shamoke's death.

Speaking of which, Shamoke is still his own brother-in-law, this barbarian man, and the great credit he has made to himself, Liu Feng will never forget it in his life.

At that time, he sat in the second county of Xiangdong, and there were few major generals, if it wasn't for Shamoke to raise troops in Wuling and attract Guan Yu to Wuling, he would not have the opportunity to attack Jiangling.

It can be said that if there is no Shamoke, there will be no rise of Liu Feng, let alone the hegemony he is talking about today.

Although the alliance was only a last resort, although Liu Feng did not have much brotherly affection for Shamoke, he was sincerely full of gratitude to Shamoke.

And now, Shamoko is dead.

died before his great cause was about to be accomplished and peace was coming, and he died at the hands of his greatest opponent in this life.

In Liu Feng's heart, grief and indignation burned like a raging fire.

When the generals heard the news of the defeat of Heyin and the death of Shamoke, they were also indignant, and they all asked to go to war and fight to the death with the main force of Liu Bei's army.

In fact, in the current situation, Liu Bei's nearly 90,000 main forces gathered in the northwest area of Yewang, and Liu Feng's 100,000 troops went down in front of Yewang City, and each side set down more than a dozen large and small camps, forming two arc-shaped confrontation lines.

No matter from the point of view of troops, morale and geographical advantages, the strength of the two armies is equal, and it is obviously unrealistic for Liu Fengruo to replicate the battle of Lejia and defeat Cao Ying.

"My lord, although it is a pity that General Shamoko died in battle, but at this time, I think it is better to act calmly, and it is not appropriate to act rashly because of a moment of anger."

When all the generals generously invited to fight, Lu Xun calmly advised Liu Feng.

Of course, Liu Feng is very clear about the current situation between the enemy and us, and he is familiar with the art of war, so he naturally knows that as a commander, he should not easily change his strategy because of the gains and losses of the first battle.

There is no need for Lu Xun to remind Liu Feng to know that now is by no means a good time for a decisive battle.

Knowing this, Liu Feng took the case and rose up, and said angrily: "Liu Bei ruined my favorite general, it is really hateful, I have to repay this revenge, and the order will go down, and it will be said that all armies will attack and launch a comprehensive attack on the enemy camp." ”

Liu Feng ordered the battle, of course the generals were excited, but Lu Xun was shocked in his heart, and wanted to be persuaded again, but Liu Feng waved his hand and said: "Bo Yan, you don't have to say more, our army has lost a general, and the morale will be hit. ”

Liu Feng was so resolute, Lu Xun knew that he couldn't be dissuaded, so he had to keep his mouth shut, but he was thinking in his heart: "The general has always been the kind of calm person, why is he so impulsive this time, it's really a little strange......"

#######εƒι‡ŒδΉ‹ε€–, Hanzhong.

The general of Zhengxi, the veteran general Huang Zhong, was leading 30,000 soldiers and horses from this moment to march on the way to Yangping Pass.

Since Liu Bei marched to Hedong earlier, he had to transfer many soldiers and horses guarding Hanzhong, leaving them to the soldiers and horses of the guard general Zhao Yun, but only 20,000.

In order to deal with the pressure from Shuzhong and the three eastern counties at the same time, Zhao Yun had to move the southern defense line north, abandon the Langzhong and Jiameng lines, and concentrate the southern soldiers and horses in the Yangping Pass area.

When Huang Zhong's troops and Ma Tan's troops launched a flank attack on Hanzhong, Zhao Yun personally led about 15,000 soldiers and horses into Yangping Pass, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses, commanded by Li Hui, were deployed in the area of the Golden Garrison east of Hanzhong to stop Ma Tan's troops.

A few years ago, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other generals in Shu led most of the Yizhou army to leave Sichuan, and now, these Yizhou soldiers are either guarding Jiangdong or following the general Liu Feng on the front line in Hanoi.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Huang Zhong are almost the last troops in Shuzhong.

A few days later, Huang Zhong led the army of Shuzhong to the west of Yangping Pass.

After camping that day, Huang Zhong went to personally observe the terrain of Yangping Pass, and it was only at this time that he really saw what the world was dangerous.

This Yangping Pass is built between the north and south mountains, and the terrain in front of the pass is extremely narrow, and it is not easy to even expand two or three thousand people, let alone tens of thousands of troops. The pass is two or three zhang high above the ground before the pass, if you want to attack the city, you also need to attack on your back, plus the north and south mountains of the pass can be high to the sky, climbing is very unfavorable, not to mention the detour from the two wings.

In addition, the enemy also built a city in front of the pass, all of which were built of solid stones, one after another from west to east, and there were almost three or four walls, and each one was a cut higher than the previous one.

Moreover, the city defense system of Yangpingguan is very clever again, the inner city and the outer city are reasonably constructed, the arrow towers on the stone walls of each road stand in a forest, the urn city is complete, outside the city wall, large and small stone villages are also built, and the main gate city in front constitutes a three-dimensional defense system.

Such a condescending situation, supplemented by strong bows and crossbows, I am afraid that most of the soldiers and horses besieging the city will be killed and injured when they arrive at the city.

"Yangping Pass is known as the world's most dangerous pass, and it really lives up to its reputation." Huang Zhong looked up at the danger and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Despite this, Huang Zhong decided to make a tentative attack on Yangping Pass.

The camp was set up to rest for a while, and the next day, Huang Zhong led more than 5,000 people to launch a strong attack on Yangping Pass.

The results of the offensive can be imagined.

Although Huang Zhong's army was numerous, but the terrain in front of the pass was so small, if he didn't want to be smashed by the enemy's samaria wood, the number of troops invested in the attack for each attack could only be maintained at about 2,000 at most. The enemy on the city, each stone wall, at least more than 3,000 people, the number of troops defending the city is more than the number of people besieging the city.

A wave of attacks, more than 500 dead and wounded, and he didn't even touch the outermost stone wall of Guancheng, Huang Zhong saw this situation, and knew that the strong attack could only damage the soldiers in vain, so he could only make a decision immediately, and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

In the following ten days, Huang Zhong exhausted many means such as night raids and assaults, but after many tosses, Yangping Pass was like an insurmountable Great Wall of steel, blocking Huang Zhong's 30,000 troops at the west gate of Hanzhong.

Huang Zhong, who was unfavorable in the use of troops, could only temporarily stop tackling key problems, while sending people to Shuzhong to urge food and troops, while thinking hard about the plan to break the enemy, and finally wanted to break the scalp, after all, there was still nothing to do.

Huang Zhong was really in pain.

Over the years, he has been guarding Shuzhong on the orders of Liu Feng.

Seeing Liu Feng seize Nanyang, go down to Jiangdong, take Huainan, and trap the Central Plains...... Even Zhang Ren and other generals in Shu are in the limelight, but he can't do anything in this ravine.

Although Huang Zhong knew that it was Liu Feng's trust in him that made him guard Shuzhong, for a general, this loneliness was really difficult.

Now it's easy to look forward to a time when there is a battle to fight and a meritorious service, but he doesn't want to break the hard bone of Yangping Pass again, Huang Zhong can only secretly admit that he is unlucky.

Just when Huang Zhong was distressed, this day, the envoy of the general Liu Feng arrived at the front camp and brought Liu Feng's own secret plan to destroy the enemy.
