But at this time, the situation was critical, Yang Ren couldn't manage it so much, knowing that Guan Yinping must have a way, he asked urgently: "Third Sister Guan, do you know how to break this siege tower?" ”

"It can't be broken, but it can be brought with arrows with resin-coated flannel, and it can be attached to the siege tower, as long as the animal skin on it is baked, the siege tower can be broken."

"Miss Guan, where did you tell me to find a resin-coated flannel at this time?"

"Then just use flannel."

"Can that burn animal skins?"

"It's better than nothing."

Yang Yi patted his head, he was confused, and hurriedly sent someone to collect the flannel, and the flannel was carried up to the city tower, and the soldiers of the Sichuan army put flannel on the rocket, mixed with the rocket and ignited, the light flannel was shot on the siege tower by the rocket of Baotou, the rocket fell off, and the flannel was attached to the siege tower because of its stickiness, until it burned out and turned into ashes and fell.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Under the cover of shield soldiers, the Sichuan soldiers shot rockets into the siege tower in rows, and pieces of flannel cloth burned on the siege tower, scorching the wet animal skin of the siege tower, although it had not yet been ignited, but it was slowly driing.

And the biggest effect is that those flannel burning, effectively preventing the Xiliang soldiers from rushing out of the siege tower, often as soon as the Xiliang soldiers come out, they bring a fire, and the flannel sticks to their bodies and burns.

Liu Zhang looked at this scene, nodded, and said to Fa Zheng next to him: "Yang Ren's brain is quite flexible." ”

Fa Zheng smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Pang De saw that the siege of the Xiliang army was blocked, and personally climbed up from the siege tower, carried two pieces of burning flannel, swung to the city wall, and fought with the defenders of the city wall with the fire.

This fierce man who can fight with Guan Yu for dozens of rounds in the Three Kingdoms, a tiger wielding a long knife, swept over, and three or four soldiers fell to the ground. The surrounding soldiers did not dare to fight the enemy.

"Brothers, kill Liu Zhang, kill Liu Zhang." Pound yelled at the Xiliang soldiers who rushed to the city.

Pang De saw that the defenders had found a way to restrain the siege tower, and knew that it would be another bitter battle, and at this time, there were the most Xiliang soldiers in the city, and the more the battle continued, the fewer there would be.

Now is the best and last chance.

Pound yelled and rolled on the ground. extinguished the flames, and at the same time pulled the bow and arrows, the strings were like a full moon, and shot in the direction where Liu Zhang was standing.

"My lord, be careful." With a roar, he jumped in front of Liu Zhang, and the sharp arrow came, two hammers came out, and the sharp arrow shot on the sledgehammer, and more than a dozen shield soldiers immediately protected Liu Zhang, Fazheng and others. Tight-fitting.

"Kill."

"Woohoo."

The Xiliang soldiers who were close to Liu Zhang listened to Pang De's roar and rushed towards Liu Zhang with a shout, and dozens of Dongzhou soldiers greeted him.

"Death to those who stand in my way." Pang De brandished a big knife and slashed two Dongzhou soldiers in a row, and suddenly a veteran appeared in front of him. He also held a long knife with iron shiny.

"Look for death." Huang Zhong roared and slashed at Pang De, who saw that the other party was old and didn't pay attention to it at all. With his body sideways, he only thought that he could dodge Huang Zhong's knife, and at the same time handed out a long knife to Huang Zhong. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong changed his move in mid-air, and swept towards Pang De's neck with a knife, and he was about to behead him.

Pang De was startled, the knife was not handed out, and slashed at Huang Zhong's hilt to prevent the blade from slashing, and at the same time lowered his head, Huang Zhong slashed over, brushed his scalp, and cut off a bunch of hair and floated into the air.

Huang Zhong's big knife did not stop, and it was another knife to Pang De's head, Pang De raised the knife properly, and with a "sonorous" sound, Pang De only felt that his wrists trembled, and the tiger's mouth shook violently, and the big knife couldn't help but let go, and his body staggered back, and he was about to roll down the four-zhang high city wall, and Pang De grabbed the top of the ladder.

"Your Excellency, you are Changsha Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng." Pound yelled.

"If you know my name, how dare you violate the realm?" Huang Zhong's big knife did not stop, and he slashed down at Pang De on his head, Pang De was horrified, at this time, if he loosened the ladder, he would not die or be crippled if he fell, and if he didn't let go, he would definitely be split in half by Huang Zhong.

I only hate myself for being careless for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have been defeated in two moves.

Pound was remorseful in his heart, seeing the big knife cut down, the bright sword light flashed in his eyes, between the lightning and flint, Pound glared at the city wall, and with the power that he usually couldn't think of, he brought up the cloud ladder more than three zhang high, blocked the cloud ladder, and rolled under the city wall under the gaze of tens of thousands of troops.

In the air, Pang De was mistakenly hit by the arrow of the Xiliang Army shot from the city, his back hit the ground, the arrow broke in the flesh, and Pang De spat out a mouthful of blood and was seriously injured.

"Kill."

The Dongzhou soldiers shouted, killing the besieging Xiliang soldiers, the Dongzhou soldiers are the strongest troops of the Sichuan army, the infantry combat power is above the Xiliang soldiers, plus the main general was seriously injured and fell into the city, the morale of the Xiliang soldiers plummeted, and the Xiliang soldiers who attacked the city were all emptied.

"Kill."

"Kill."

"The Sichuan army is invincible, the Sichuan army is invincible."

Pang De was seriously injured, the Xiliang soldiers retreated, and the morale of the Sichuan army was high, and they repelled the Xiliang soldiers in front of them, raising their spears and shouting, and the sound shook Nagano.

"Major General, Pang De is sorry for you, I didn't expect to meet Huang Zhong, and I ......was careless for a while."

The attack of the Xiliang soldiers was repulsed again, and Pang De was carried down by the soldiers, passed by Ma Chao, and struggled to say to Ma Chao, his tone full of guilt.

Ma Chao dismounted, glanced at Pang De's injury, and said in a deep voice: "I have seen it all, General Pang is very heroic, don't worry about the siege of the city, take care of your injuries." ”

Ma Chao waved his hand, and the soldiers carried down the bloody Pang De, Ma Dai came over and said: "Big brother, Liu Zhang personally supervises the city, they still have a team to supervise the war, even if the Sichuan army is afraid of us, they don't dare to retreat, there are too many defenders in the city, and the casualties are too great if they continue to attack like this." ”

Ma Chao looked coldly at the head of the city of Yangping Pass, and the defenders at the head of the city were redeploying to meet the next attack of the Xiliang army.

Ma Dai is right, in this way to attack the city, the casualties of the Xiliang army are too great, even if the Xiliang army is elite in foot combat, but after all, it is cavalry, and the cavalry is consumed in the siege, and the sky is ruined.

Originally, the siege of the Xiliang army was divided into three steps, the first step, sneak attack, this is the usual means of the Xiliang army, with the speed and power of the Xiliang cavalry, as long as you rush into dozens of horses, you can support the arrival of the army, and easily seize the city pass.

However, due to the defeat of the Sichuan army on the first day, Liu Zhang locked the door tightly, and the road to the sneak attack was blocked.

The second step, intimidation, scolding, and the prestige of the Xiliang Army, as long as they shout and call under the city pass. Riding a horse can break the hearts of the defenders, and they have almost no power to resist.

But when it was used on the Sichuan army, it was provoked by Liu Zhang and a group of generals, and finally retreated.

If the first two steps are not successful, the Western Liang army will attack the city, and the Western Liang army generally does not use siege equipment. Just use the climbing hook, the climbing hook in the low city walls of Xiliang, it is completely sufficient, under the cover of cavalry shooting, throw out the climbing hook, a group of soldiers entered the city, open the city gate, Xiliang iron cavalry swarmed in.

If the city is high and the pool is deep, siege equipment is used.

But now all four steps have been used up, and the price has been terrible. still failed to capture the city, Ma Chao clenched his iron fist.

"Ma Dai, you're right, the reason why we didn't take Yangping Pass is entirely because of Liu Zhang's relationship with the war. If Liu Zhang was not on the city wall, the fear of the Sichuan army to my Xiliang army would have collapsed long ago, which is really hateful. ”

"But the other way around." Ma Chao paused. glanced at the head of the city and said: "Liu Zhanggui is a Shu Hou, a general, or an uncle of the emperor today." With such a noble status, it is also commendable to be able to brave the arrow stone and go to the city to supervise the battle, looking at Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others, except for the dead Jiangdong Sun Lang, who has this courage?

The battle with Liu Zhang has not been wronged until this moment, and this battle is becoming more and more interesting. ”

Ma Chao laughed, and Ma Dai said, "Big brother, do you still want to fight?" ”

"Nonsense." Ma Chao shouted: "Today, we have been stranded in Yangpingguan for 12 days, it is not a matter of revenge for the Qiang people, but it is related to my Ma Chao's reputation in Xiliang, I said that in three days, there are two days, I will take Yangpingguan." ”

A day of bloody battles, Yangping Guancheng is full of corpses, the air is filled with a strong smell of blood, the Xiliang army sent soldiers to clean up under the city, and when they encounter the corpse of the Sichuan army, they will hand it over to the hanging basket of the Sichuan army and hang it, and the Sichuan army will clean up the battlefield at the head of the city.

"General Yang, good job." Liu Zhang patted Yang Ren's shoulder, and the fish scale armor made a sound of blades trembling, "If you hadn't come up with the method of bringing the rocket cloth to stop the Xiliang army from attacking the city from the siege tower, I'm afraid the casualties would be greater, and it seems that it won't be long before the siege tower will be useless." ”

Yang Ren was very happy when he heard Liu Zhang's previous sentence, he was a general in Hanzhong, and his command and martial arts were not top-notch, not to mention Zhang Ren and Wei Yan, even Wu Ban Deng Zhi and others, they were all better than themselves, and it was not easy to get Liu Zhang's praise.

But hearing Liu Zhang's words, the more Yang Ren listened, the more embarrassed he became, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, that method was not thought up by the last general, but by Third Sister Guan." ”

"Oh?" Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and saw Guan Yinping holding a bowl of rice against the city wall, looking at the gloomy mountains and rivers in the distance outside the city wall while eating.

"Lord, if you still plan to fight a decisive battle in half a month, the time is coming, but we have not done a lot of things yet." Fa Zheng reminded Liu Zhangdao.

"I understand." Liu Zhang nodded.

The soldiers changed the guard and rested, and the soldiers on the city became scarce, Liu Zhang walked to Guan Yinping's side, supported the city wall with both hands, looked into the distance and said: "The girl is really not an ordinary woman, there are blood stains everywhere, and there is not even a breath of clean air, and she can still eat." ”

Guan Yinping glanced sideways at Liu Zhang, put the only piece of braised pork in the bowl into his mouth, chewed it, and smiled: "Didn't I tell the adults?" I came from a military family, and I saw a lot of blood. ”

"Well, I know, thank you girl for coming up with a clever plan to help me break the enemy."

"I'm fighting for adults right now, and I'm a subordinate of adults, and this is what I should do."

Liu Zhang smiled, looked at Guan Yinping and asked, "Listen to the girl's accent, is it from Hebei?" ”

"The ancestral home is in Hebei, and I live in Guanzhong."

"It's a great misfortune in troubled times."

"Who has ever been truly fortunate in this troubled world." Guan Yinping looked into the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, with a touch of sadness, and said softly: "The warlords are divided, the princes are fighting, for their own selfish interests, they often drive millions of soldiers to fight on the battlefield, how is the blood flowing, the corpses are piled up, how many people are broken, and their wives are separated. ”

Guan Yinping said a little sadly, put the rice bowl on the city wall, and inserted the chopsticks one by one.

"The girl is really a good person, she has compassion for the suffering people, in this troubled world where everyone is in danger of taking care of herself, it is rare for the girl to have such a mind, but I am also a warlord, why does the girl help me fight?"

"You are different from them, although you have killed more people than they do, and in other states, including Guanzhong, you have a bad reputation, they say that you are the lord of the tigers and wolves of the ages, tyrannical, murderous and bloodthirsty. He does not sympathize with the people, does not respect his ministers, does not understand Confucius and Mencius, specializes in killing, and is tyrannical and unprecedented. ”

"Tyrannical, cruel and bloodthirsty, and unsympathetic to the people. disrespectful ministers, Confucius and Mencius are not comprehensible, and they are good at killing, hehehehe. Liu Zhang laughed.

"But I'll just look at the facts." Guan Yinping said calmly: "You have killed countless clans, and you can be regarded as a tyrant of the previous generation, but I wandered from Hebei to Guanzhong with my father, and everywhere I saw, the clans oppressed the people and passed on taxes. Bullying men and women.

The most hateful thing is that they use all means to annex land and force poor families to die, especially when troubled times come. The princes did not dare to offend the clan, and they were even more unscrupulous.

I personally met a rich man in Beihai who put a vase at the door of a house, and the head of the family came out and kicked the vase. Then they were charged a high price, and the households could not take it, so they were forced to use the land to compensate.

Households value their land. Of course he was unwilling, saying that the vase was deliberately placed at the door by the rich man and was worthless, so he fought with the rich man, and as a result, his son was killed, and the matter became bigger and bigger, and it went to Beihai Mansion.

Beihai Xiang Kong Rong was still a good official and decided the case fairly, but the result was that the vase was indeed very expensive, and the rich man's request was reasonable, and the land of the people was robbed by the officers and soldiers and the rich man, and the people committed suicide.

Even the places governed by Confucius's descendants and contemporary sages Kong Beihai are like this, not to mention other states and counties. ”

Guan Yinping sighed as she spoke, her face was very calm, but Liu Zhang knew from Guan Yinping's eyes that she was calm only because so many years had passed, or because she was not strange and had become numb, she must have been sad and resentful when she saw this scene at that time.

Guan Yinping can know the whole thing and has an evaluation of Kong Rong, indicating that she has been in close contact with Kong Rong and has come into contact with this case, and her identity makes Liu Zhang even more puzzled.

Guan Yinping didn't notice Liu Zhang's suspicion of himself, and continued: "From Hebei to Qingzhou, from Qingzhou to Yongliang, even if it is Yanzhou where Cao Cao suppressed the Shi clan, and Xuzhou under Tao Qianren, the land annexed by the Shi clan has reached an astonishing level.

Countless rich peasants became poor peasants, poor peasants became tenants and long-term laborers, and these people who had no property became the source of the princes' soldiers and the families of the family.

Do you know how unfair this is? Guan Yinping looked into the distance, with a mist in his eyes: "The peasant tenants have paid taxes for the wealthy families, including the taxes of the families and the taxes of the princes, and only one load can be left for ten loads of rice."

They live a crumpled life, they can't eat a meal of food for dogs in a year, they have no way to ask for help, they hide their heads and shrink their tails, and once they encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can only wait for death, unscrupulous sellers of porridge and girls, and many old people in order not to drag down young people.

The sons of the family became the generals of the princes, and the princes commanded the army of the poor people to spill the blood of the city, and the territory was expanded, and the soldiers died and confiscated their bodies, and abandoned the road, and their demands were only to be able to eat enough in the army, and pray on the straw every night that they would be alive tomorrow.

And the Clan, forever continuing their annexation.

The poor people gave birth to daughters, the more beautiful ones became the filling houses of the wealthy families, and the unbeautiful ones became the property they rewarded, and the poor people could only hope that after making meritorious contributions to the soldiers, they would earn some money to marry a wife, and if they were unlucky, they would die on the battlefield and leave nothing.

The people are suffering, and the most terrible thing is that they have no way out, they have given everything, but the odds of getting ahead with the children of the world are completely unequal, you say, is this fair? ”

Guan Yinping looked at Liu Zhang, his eyes were shining, and he could see that these words had been buried in Guan Yinping's heart for a long time.

"From ancient times to the present day, there has never been fairness." Liu Zhang said that at this time, Liu Zhang seemed to have forgotten the purpose of talking to Guan Yinping.

"But it can't be so unfair, right? The entire low-level people have become the slaves of the clan, they must pay a hundred times more effort than the children of the clan, obey the rules of the clan, in order to achieve the status that the children of the clan can easily obtain, and at the same time, they have to be ridiculed, how can this be the case in this world? ”

The autumn wind blew, gently swept across her cheeks, blowing the beautiful woman's hair, Guan Yinping looked sad and angry, Liu Zhang looked at Guan Yinping's face close at hand, and could feel the pain and helplessness in her heart.

In fact, in this era, how many people have the same pain and helplessness.

At this moment, Liu Zhang was completely sure that Guan Yinping was kind, even if her identity was a mystery, she would not be suspicious, if she guessed wrong, then she would admit it.

"So, adults killed those clans, killed a lot of people, I heard that the blood is full of Yingjiang, I didn't think that adults were cruel because of this, because, when I went from Hebei to Qingxu Yangyanyu, and then to Guanzhong Yongliang, countless times, I also had these thoughts, even if the people around me felt that adults were cruel, but I wouldn't."

"What I see is just what the adults do, as a royal clan, the commander of Jingyi Erzhou, if you win over the family, it is easy to be an imperial uncle, with the support of the family, with the financial and material resources of Jingyi Erzhou, and the courage of the Sichuan army, no one in the world is the opponent of the imperial uncle.

But the emperor uncle did not do this, which shows that the emperor uncle did not kill the world for himself, not for personal gain, not for the hegemony of the world, on the other hand, the emperor uncle's four imperial examinations, land order, I already know that the emperor uncle is for the people, for the bottom people who are much more numerous than the world, just by virtue of this, all the princes of the world should be ashamed of themselves in front of the emperor uncle.

I heard that Uncle Huang is suffering from a hidden disease, and working hard for days will aggravate his condition, but this time, in Yangping Pass, Uncle Huang works hard every day and has almost no rest, I see it in my eyes, a brutal tiger and wolf lord will not do this.

The people know who is good to him, even in Guanzhong, I have heard the voice of the emperor's uncle, in the eyes of the people, the image of the emperor's uncle is completely different from in the eyes of the world, and I now confirm the people's statement, so I am willing to fight for the emperor's uncle. (To be continued.) )
