"It's hard to prevent." Zhuge Liang sighed, when you really have to face the Xiliang army, you know how terrifying they are, just to be able to open the city gate, it makes people feel that there is no place to start, on the battlefield, you can't be on guard against the enemy will rush out of the city gate at any time, and it is impossible to go up to completely seal the city gate, cut off the way of retreat, not a hundred battles of elite soldiers, as long as the city gate is sealed, it is very likely to cause a mutiny in the field, not every team can be put to death and survive.

Guo Yan has 50,000 horses in his hands, and after the affairs of Hanzhong are dealt with in an orderly manner, he began to march towards Baishui Pass, the land of Yizhou, there are many Xiongguan, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is really the place of achievement of Wang Tu's hegemony, once occupied, the enemy can be easily blocked in the periphery, and Hanzhong will be captured, and the Xiliang army will face Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, Zitong, Mianzhu These checkpoints, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Jia Rong met Zhang Lu in the palace, the leader of the Wudoumi Sect, the Hanzhong Taishou with 100,000 believers, and then the two discussed for a long time, Zhang Lu left the palace with a heavy face.

Jia Rong's treatment to Zhang Lu is not low, and the official position is many times stronger than the previous Hanzhong, but some of the conditions given by Jia Rong are inconsistent with the teachings of the Wudoumi Sect, such as when Jia Rong said that when the war is chaotic, the people should rise up, help the army defend the city, voluntarily join the army, resist the enemy, and those who offend our cool country will be punished even if they are far away.

Zhang Lu thought about it for three days before giving Jia Rong a reply, agreeing to Jia Rong's revision, and at the same time changing the name of the Wudou Rice Sect to Taoism, allowing Zhang Lu to develop believers among the people.

The Xiliang army ruled a vast territory, and there were millions of people, so the attraction to Zhang Lu was not small.

Cao Cao after the Xiliang army occupied Yuzhou and attacked Hanoi County after the battle, it seems to be a little sluggish, Cao army in the Central Plains, how strong the existence is, how many princes have been conquered repeatedly, Cao army soldiers, but also has an indomitable momentum, not afraid of life and death in the battle, bravely forward, since the encounter with the Xiliang army, Cao army has few victories, repeated defeats, lost Luoyang Hanoi and Yuzhou, even in the east county, was defeated by the Xiliang army with 30,000 soldiers and horses 50,000 soldiers and horses, killing corpses all over the field.

Not only that, the people's livelihood under Cao Cao's rule is not very good, mainly because of the economic suppression of the merchants of the Liang Kingdom, because the Liang Kingdom attaches great importance to the merchants, about sixty percent of the merchants in the world gather under the rule of the Western Liang Army, and they want to join the Chamber of Commerce and become the eagle dog of the Western Liang Army, which makes Cao Cao very incomprehensible.

The economy was sluggish, the price of rice and grain fluctuated too much, and under the rule of Cao Jun, the people began to rebel, and they were forced by life.

Cao Cao is not a future traveler, and Jia Rong can make them scramble with a small economic means.

After selling a lot of resources, Cao Cao felt a little more at ease, and with money and food in his hands, he didn't have to fear that the Xiliang army would call, but he didn't know that after this resource reached Jia Rong's hands, it would become rolling money, and he would earn the money in Cao Cao's hands again.

Sometimes, Cao Cao faintly has a feeling that the Liang Dynasty will unify the world, when this thought appears, Cao Cao is shocked in his heart, and then suppresses it in his heart, the two armies are facing each other, if the upper one has no confidence, and he still wants to win a big battle, when he wants to raise his own army, it is not more than thousands, and there are only a few generals, not the current situation, compared with Jia Rong, he is not weak at all, and the gains and losses of a war do not represent anything.

"Xiliang Army, don't be afraid." Cao Cao clenched his fists and said word by word.

"Tell me to go down and let the families and merchants in the city come to the mansion for a banquet tonight." Cao Cao ordered.

Wu Ban, the general of Baishui Pass, is still very famous among the generals in Yizhou, and he has not won many battles over the years, nor has he been defeated, and when Pang Yi attacked Hanzhong, he established meritorious service.

There are 2,000 defenders in Baishui Pass, Wu Ban is confident that he will be blocked by the Xiliang army with 2,000 people, and the defeat of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong makes Wu Ban a little disapproving.

The terrain of Baishui Pass can also be called dangerous in Yizhou, not to mention that even if there are 100,000 people, it is not easy to get a bargain, the geographical situation of Yizhou is not comparable to the Central Plains, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and the advantage of the Xiliang Army lies in the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Wu Ban continued to strengthen the city defense, the soldiers patrolled Liliang increased, there were no people living in Baishui Pass, and there were only about 500 soldiers stationed here all year round, or when the Xiliang army attacked Hanzhong, Liu Zhang shook and strengthened the garrison of Baishui Pass.

"General, it is said that the Xiliang army has 50,000 people, and we only have 2,000 people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold it." The adjutant general said in a somewhat concerned voice.

"Hmph, if you let General Ben hear these words again, immediately behead the public, the enemy is now, as the adjutant general of General Ben, you should strengthen the city, not talk about defeat and victory, even if the Xiliang army has 100,000 people, you must stubbornly defend the city, even if there is only one soldier in the city, you must work hard to persevere."

"No." The deputy general hugged his fist, from Wu Ban's body, he felt a strong fighting spirit, and his heart was a lot more stable, Baishui Pass is an important checkpoint, don't worry about the problem of food and grass, and the soldiers' arrows and other consumables can also be replenished quickly.

"Since the beginning of the war, it is a great opportunity for the officers and men in the army to make meritorious contributions, and the most powerful cavalry in the Xiliang Army is the cavalry, which cannot exert a single percent combat effectiveness outside the Baishui Pass, how to attack the city." Wu Ban's tone softened and explained.

When Hua Xiong led the vanguard army to Baishui Pass, he couldn't help but gasp, and also understood that Weishenme Guo Yan only let him lead a hundred cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry all stayed in Hanzhong, in the face of such a checkpoint, the cavalry wanted to attack the city, the chance of success was very small, and they were completely exposed to the enemy's offensive.

Even if there are siege weapons such as thunderbolts in the Xiliang army, it may be difficult to attack the soldiers at the checkpoint, and Baishui Pass is the first line of defense to attack Yizhou, and it has to be faced.

"General, this?" Li Mengdao.

"What this, that, stationed outside the city, waiting for General Guo's army, how can a small Baishui Pass stop the pace of our army." Although Hua Xiong was a little timid, he couldn't let go of such an opportunity.

Looking at the vanguard of the Xiliang Army, one hundred people stationed outside the city, Wu Ban's mouth showed a smug smile, he had heard that the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army was unparalleled in the world, and he did not stop his pace in front of the Baishui Pass that he was guarding.

After the army came to Baishui Pass, it was only a day of rest, and the siege battle began, densely packed with soldiers like ants, heading towards the checkpoint, even if there was enough confidence, seeing such a scene, Wu Ban was also a little numb.

The terrain outside Baishui Pass determines that the Xiliang army can only use simple siege equipment such as rushing cars and ladders, as for the well, don't even think about it, unless Guo Yan is willing to stop the attack and gradually repair and level the terrain outside the checkpoint, it is difficult to approach the well, and the terrain outside the Baishui Pass is not so easy to rest, only to launch a strong attack.

The white water gate was broken, and in Wu Ban's surprised gaze, the heavy gate flew into the sky, and when it was closed, he felt that the city wall under his feet was constantly trembling, and many soldiers were crooked, making it difficult to stand.

The swarming Xiliang army rushed into the pass and ended the campaign, and Wu Ban was also killed by the deputy general with hundreds of personal soldiers.

Huaxiong hahadaxiao said: "General Ben said, Baishui Pass is nothing, how about it?" ”

Li Mengne said that the Xiliang Army with this weapon was an incomparably terrifying existence.

From the Xiliang army to attack Baishui Pass to break through, before and after only half a day's effort, even if Wu Ban has great ability, I can't imagine what the reason is, the siege battle, since ancient times, is the siege party after heavy losses, in order to break a checkpoint, and Baishui Pass is an important checkpoint in Yizhou, after breaking it, the Xiliang army can take advantage of the situation to attack Jiameng Pass, and after Jiameng Pass, Yizhou is dangerous, although Jiameng Pass is more dangerous than Baishui Pass, Wu Ban does not have enough confidence.

"General, let's rush to Jiameng Pass as soon as possible, and there are chasing soldiers from the Xiliang Army behind." The adjutant general reminded that there was inevitably a look of panic on his face, there were 2,000 defenders, and after the first battle, only more than 300 escaped, and the fate of the rest can be imagined.

"Well, rush to Jiameng Pass as soon as possible, and send a fast horse to tell General Yang of Jiameng Pass what happened here." Wu Ban cleared his thoughts and hurriedly said.

The gains and losses of one city and one pond are not to be worried, but if the Xiliang army relies on this weapon to attack the cities of Yizhou one after another, it will be a huge loss for Yizhou, and he Wu Ban will also be more implicated because he does not report it in time.

"Wu Ban Xiao'er, where to escape." There was a loud cheer from behind, and it turned out that Hua Xiong led a hundred cavalry to chase after him.

"Leave a hundred people to resist the Xiliang cavalry, and the rest of the people will retreat quickly and rush to Jiameng Pass as soon as possible." After Wu Ban gave the order, he left the lieutenant general in place, and then led the army to flee in a hurry.

The adjutant general's face was pale, Wu Ban was the main general, he didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience, he could only lead a hundred soldiers to flow down, and his heart was naturally a little resentful of Wu Ban, under the charge of the cavalry, how could the infantry survive, a hundred people were sent to death to put it bluntly, in the face of life and death, he was ruthlessly abandoned.

As soon as he didn't see Wu Ban's figure, the adjutant general immediately led the soldiers to surrender.
