Chapter 410: Fierce Battle (3)

As soon as the sky was bright, Liu Bei woke up in his sleep, last night Liu Bei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, always worried about Ao Lie's army outside the gate, lest Ao Lie would launch a surprise attack at night, Liu Bei remembered very well that Hanzhong was lost in the night battle. It wasn't until it was almost dawn that Liu Bei fell on the bed with his clothes and fell asleep in a daze.

Not long after he fell asleep, a rush of footsteps woke Liu Bei up. Liu Bei turned over and sat up, and Fa Zheng's slightly anxious face entered Liu Bei's eyes.

"What's the alarm? Did Ao Lie start the siege? Liu Bei opened his mouth first to ask Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng shook his head and replied: "The Yan army in front of the pass has not moved for the time being, but a large number of Yan army flags suddenly appeared after the pass, the banner of Ma Chao, one of the five tiger generals under Ao Lie, and the banner of Wei Yan, the eight good generals, are among them, and there are also the banners of more than a dozen deputy generals, dozens of battle flags of different sizes, judging by these banners, I am afraid that the Yan army that appeared behind the pass also has at least 50,000 people." ”

Hearing the forensic words, Liu Bei jumped up from the bed, widened his eyes and asked, "What did you say?" The banner of the Yan Army suddenly appeared after the pass? Didn't Lone arrange the defenders on the top of the hill behind Jiameng Pass? How did Yan Jun come to Guanhou? Will they not be able to fly? ”

In the face of Liu Bei's series of questions, Fa Zheng couldn't make any answers, don't say Liu Bei, even Fa Zheng is now confused, I don't know how the Han army came after the pass, in Fa Zheng's memory, but I have never heard anyone mention it, in addition to the main road in front of the pass, there is another road, which can go around from Hanzhong to the back of Jia Meng Pass, if there is really such a road, when Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were at war before, this road has long been used. How could it have not been discovered until today?

Fa Zheng didn't know how to answer Liu Bei, and Liu Bei didn't seem to be in the mood to stay in the room to listen to Fa Zheng's explanation, he grabbed his coat and put it on his body, and hurriedly walked out, he wanted to see with his own eyes the situation after the pass, to see if it was as Fa Zheng said, at least 50,000 people appeared behind him.

When he came to the wall behind the pass, Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked at the mountain, and sure enough, he saw that just like Fa Zheng said, from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain. The battle flags of the Han army are planted everywhere, and in the middle of the mountainside, the two sides of Ma Chao and Wei Yan make it particularly eye-catching. In the mountains and forests that have long faded from greenery, the unique turbid iron bright light armor of the Han army reflects the reflection of the rising sun, which can be seen everywhere, and through these reflections, Liu Bei immediately judged that this was sudden. The Han army, which was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, had at least 20,000 people, and Liu Bei could almost conclude that he could see 20,000 people. It's the elite of the tiger under the command of Ma Chao, this is only what you can see, and what you can't see?

Liu Bei was misled by his own hidden danger consciousness, he subconsciously thought. The 20,000 tiger army is in the light, and there must be many ordinary Han troops in the dark, otherwise there is no need for Ma Chao's department to cross the mountains and mountains when he comes to the back of Jiameng Pass. And with so many battle flags. Liu Bei's reaction at this moment completely fell into the expectations of Zhuge Liang and others in advance, and it was exactly the same as their assumption, without any deviation.

This can't blame Liu Bei for being timid, there is only one road before and after the pass of Jiameng Pass, and now there is a Han army at the same time before and after the pass, Liu Bei has no way to go, and there is a Han army behind, and he was surrounded by the Han army unconsciously, and there is no way to retreat. In such a desperate situation, who can not panic? Liu Bei was not frightened and at a loss, he was already bold.

"It's the Tiger Ben Army under Ao Lie's command, these damn things, how did they come here?" Liu Bei gritted his teeth and popped out of his teeth, but obviously, Fa Zheng still had no way to solve his doubts.

Suddenly, Ma Chao's loud shout came down from the mountainside: "Liu Da'er! Today is your death, you have already planted your wings and cannot escape, so I advise you to abandon your weapons and surrender, and take them with your hands tied! ”

With Ma Chao's shout, 20,000 tiger warriors mustered all their strength, followed by a loud roar: "Abandon your weapons and surrender, and you will be captured!" "The physical fitness of the tiger warriors was originally superhuman, and their voices roared in unison, forming a wave of earth-shattering sound, which was transmitted far away, not only Liu Bei could hear it clearly, but even the Shu soldiers who were responsible for defending the main army of Ao Lie in front of the pass heard it.

The roar of the tiger warriors in unison was obviously a long time ago, and it was Liu Bei who was angry, it was best to provoke him and make him lose his due calm, and the most important thing was that Ma Chao used this method to inform Ao Lie that the battle in front of the pass could begin.

Liu Bei was obviously not lightly angered by the roar of the tiger wrestler, and his whole face instantly turned blue, but Liu Bei was also in a critical situation until today, and if he was not careful, he would end up being caught in the urn, so Liu Bei suppressed his anger and turned his head to Fa Zheng and said: "Filial piety, quickly send someone to transfer troops in front of the pass, this little force after the pass can't stop Ma Chao for too long!" ”

Fa Zheng nodded, turned around and was about to send people to transfer troops, but after taking two steps, Fa Zheng retracted his footsteps and asked Liu Bei: "King, there is also a war in front of the pass, but I don't know how many men and horses to send over?" "In fact, with Fa Zheng's intelligence, it is probably not difficult to estimate a number, but in case the war is unfavorable, Fa Zheng is afraid that Liu Bei will put the blame for the defeat on himself, so he will ask Liu Bei specifically.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said: "For the time being, send 50,000 people over, the strength is equivalent to the Yan thieves, and they will not be so easy to break through the pass, filial piety, after the transfer of troops, you will stay here to command the battle, and later let the two generals Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi come to assist you." ”

Just when Liu Bei was telling Fa Zheng about the defense, Wu Ban hurriedly ran over, and shouted to Liu Bei from a distance: "King, Ao Lie has launched an attack in front of the pass!" ”

Liu Bei's heart sank, and he immediately walked towards the pass, and said to Fa Zheng as he walked: "Xiaozhi, please, you must guard the pass, otherwise we will die and have no place to be buried!" At the juncture of life and death, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, who has been high in recent years, seems to have instantly returned to the previous period of sending people everywhere, and his tone has returned to his previous tone of generosity and benevolence, and there is no longer the tone of the superior who is deliberately revealed.

Fa Zheng nodded firmly, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the king is a literati, but he also has the courage of a military general, and he is swearing that if you are locked up in people, you will be destroyed and killed!" ”

Liu Bei glanced at Fa Zheng deeply, then quickened his pace and ran towards the front of the pass. When Liu Bei came to the front of the pass, he saw that in the open space nearly a thousand steps away from the pass, more than 100,000 Han troops had lined up the battle array, and at the front of the battle array, hundreds of towering arrow towers had been pushed out, and in the gap between the arrow towers, at least two hundred red-clothed ballistae had been filled with crossbows, one long, four short and five crossbows, which were unscrupulously revealing a hideous edge, aimed at the wall of Jiameng Pass.

In the center of the Han army array, Ao Lie, who was wearing a dazzling golden armor, was guarded by dozens of generals around him like stars holding the moon, Liu Bei even separated a thousand steps away, clearly saw that Zhang Fei was riding on the claw of the divine horse, wearing the Ming disc dragon armor that only senior generals of the Han army were qualified to wear, holding his Zhangba snake spear that Liu Bei was familiar with, and standing tightly beside Ao Lie.

Seeing Zhang Fei, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart, what a familiar scene, in the past, Zhang Fei was guarding his side like this, after twenty years of time, it has never changed, but I didn't expect that today, the blade of Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear was actually aimed at the direction where he was! Whose fault is it that brothers turn against each other? and Guan Yu, whose whereabouts are unknown, where is he? In the past, when they were poor, their two brothers followed him without complaint, sharing weal and woe with him, why are they now famous, but the two brothers have left him one after another? At this moment, a feeling of unbearable cold from a high place made Liu Bei sigh, but this emotion, Liu Bei only let it exist for a few breaths, because Liu Bei did not forget that right now, it is the current enemy, and it is not the time to recall the past years. And Liu Bei didn't think he had done anything wrong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's departure was forcibly summarized by Liu Bei as the end of fate.

Knock Knock Knock –

In the Han army's array, the passionate drum of the general's order sounded, which was the prelude to the Han army's preparation for attack, and more than 100,000 Han troops operated regularly in the drum of the general's order, stepping on the rhythm of the drum, and entered their own established strategic position.

Seeing that the Han army was preparing to attack the city, Liu Bei immediately shouted to the civil and military officials around him: "Han and thieves are not separate!" Today, I am a Han soldier, I must teach the Yan thief a lesson and prepare for battle! In Liu Bei's mouth, he will always be the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, even if he has long been removed from the status of the royal family by Liu Xiege, and Ao Lie was called a thief by Liu Bei, in order to show his justice and Ao Lie's evil.

The officials under Liu Bei's command immediately took action, and a group of civil officials protected Liu Bei and retreated, until they retreated to the inner wall of the pass wall, and then stopped. Dozens of generals began to be distributed, and three or five people were divided into groups, each leading the people of the headquarters, and began to deploy at various positions on the wall.

Without waiting for these generals to fully arrange the defense, the first wave of attacks of the Han army was launched. As usual, it was still the red-clothed ballista as the first weapon for the siege, and under Huang Zhong's order, two hundred red-clothed ballistas made a loud noise at the same time, and thousands of crossbows were shot away from the tips of the red-clothed ballistas, with a burst of sound of breaking the sky, like a meteor rushing towards the wall of Jiameng Pass.
