Chapter 105: Shouyangping is brutally attacked
This kind of battle is the most brutal and bloody battle that Zhao Shu has seen in many years. Yangping Pass is full of Sichuan troops, Cao Jun's corpses, Cao Jun stepped on the corpses of his companions to attack, and the Sichuan Army was tired and lay down next to the corpses of his companions to rest, no one had extra time and physical strength to let the dead rest in peace. Over the course of a few days, the defenders of Zhao Shuguan suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and a rough estimate of the price paid by Cao's army was probably three times that amount. This is the reason why Zhao Shu has always been reluctant to fight a tough battle, a human life in his heart is completely different from the weight in the hearts of generals such as Zhang Fei and Ma Chao. Looking at the mutilated corpses in his eyes, Zhao Shu could only smile bitterly and shake his head, this is war.
The Cao army's offensive became more and more fierce, after all, more than 100,000 people took turns to attack, and the time to rest and recuperate was far more abundant than that of the Guanshangchuan army, so the number of times and the number of people they rushed to the pass were also increasing day by day. If it weren't for Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Gao Ping, these fierce generals in the world, and defending them to the death, how could Yangping Pass escape this crisis. Zhang Fei's ferocity was aroused by blood, and he once cut off eight long knives in one day; And Ma Chao can no longer see the demeanor of the word "brocade", the whole body is just a blood red, there is his, but more is Cao Jun's; Gao Ping is not much worse than those two, although there are no less than ten scars on his body, but the souls of the dead under his hands in a few days can definitely be counted.
Repelled the attack of the Cao army again, Zhao Shu's body was about to collapse, although he did not kill the enemy with his own hands, but he had to stand on the top of the city tower, always pay attention to the battle situation, and dispatch troops to constantly dispatch people to meet the enemy. Guan Feng and Rong Er behind them are both dressed in full body, heroic and cool, and follow Zhao Shu to protect them all day long, and at this time, there is no shyness and beauty of their daughter's family, only a tired face and half of the body.
Zhao Shu was about to open his mouth to say a few words to the two of them to relieve their tense nerves, but when he saw Guan Fengyao pointing down, he exclaimed, "Look." Zhao Shu followed her hand and looked over, only to see that a large group of people had entered the Cao camp, and the Xiahou banner was faintly seen in the army.
"Cao Jun has increased his troops?" Rong'er also saw it at this moment, and said in shock: "It seems that the old thief will not give up if he does not win this level." "Could it be that Cao Cao really transferred Xiahou Dun from Nanzheng? Zhao Shu had to smile bitterly: "It seems that Cao Cao is really determined to avenge Xiahou Yuan." Ma Chao was at the gate, and also saw that Cao Ying had soldiers and horses to reinforce him, so he hurriedly walked in front of Zhao Shu and said, "Sir, the reinforcements of the lord have not arrived for a long time, and Cao Cao has increased his troops and horses." I am afraid that this pass will not be able to be held for a long time, and I hope that Mr. will prepare as soon as possible. Zhao Shu didn't expect Ma Chao to say such pessimistic words, and the other sergeants were only afraid of being even more panicked, so they had to smile and say, "Could it be that Meng Qi wants Shu to abandon the pass and escape?" ”
Ma Chao nodded and said, "Mr. is the arm of the lord, and he can't afford to lose." The last general is willing to break off, and he will fight to the death with the Cao thief here. Zhao Shu realized that he was just concerned about his life and death, and his heart was greatly moved, looking at this Xiliang Tiger General, there was no clean place on his body, not stained with blood, although his expression was slightly tired, but he was still majestic. Zhao Shu couldn't help but be arrogant, held Ma Chao's hand and said: "We are the same as serving the lord, what do we do with each other?" Then he pointed to Cao Jun under the pass and said with a smile: "This pass is steep, and it may not be able to break it in a few days." The time for the Lord's reinforcements should also arrive. Ma Chao still had to be persuaded, and listened to the war drums of Cao's army under the pass, and attacked again. Zhao Shufu said with a smile: "Shu doesn't know martial arts, and he only looks forward to the general when he guards the pass and kills the enemy." Ma Chao clenched his fists and nodded, then turned around and left.
Cao's army is really a vital force, and this offensive is even more ferocious. Many times, there were soldiers who came to the pass, but they were all strictly blocked and killed by Ma Chao and left and right. Even many Cao Jun rushed to Zhao Shu, Guan Feng and Rong Er both slashed many enemies again. The offensive continued until dark, when Cao's military retreated.
After several days of experience, Zhao Shu knew that they would come again soon, so he hurriedly ordered someone to hurry up and cook and send it to the army. These days, Zhao Shu and the soldiers are eating together, he knows that if the generals can't set an example, how can they let the soldiers use their lives? Seeing Guan Feng and Rong'er suffering with him, Zhao Shu was very unbearable, and wanted to persuade them to leave here first. But knowing that saying it doesn't work, it only adds to the sadness, so I simply don't say it.
But today it was a little strange, until Zhao Shu had eaten enough, he still didn't see Cao Jun attacking again. Ma Chao was beside him, and he was also suspicious: "Why doesn't Cao Jun come again?" Zhao Shu looked far away, and did not see any movement in the Cao camp, he was really afraid that this was just the calm before the storm, so he ordered: "The army rests in place, but it must not relax a little, but I am afraid that the Cao army will launch a stronger offensive." "The guards of the pass take turns to guard, Zhao Shu has to sleep for three or two hours every day, but today he saw that Cao Jun was abnormal, but he didn't dare to go down to the pass to rest, and he stayed at the gate all night. Guan Feng and Rong'er's second daughter saw that he didn't leave, so naturally they didn't leave. Ma Chao was strictly ordered by Zhao Shu to rest, and ran up again after a while. Everyone has only one thought, why didn't Cao Jun come to attack tonight? Could it be that Cao Cao has some tricks?
From Zhao Shu to ordinary soldiers on Yangping Pass, they were all accustomed to Cao's army attacking day and night, but when Cao Cao never sent soldiers and horses again, everyone spent a long night in fear. Seeing that the sun was slowly rising on the second day, and a sergeant brought breakfast, Zhao Shu had no intention of eating it, and he really couldn't figure out what Cao Cao's plan was.
Guan Feng saw that his eyebrows were tightly locked, so he had to be relieved: "Even if Cao Cao has a lot of tricks, as long as our army sticks to the pass and doesn't fight, why do you need to worry so much?" Zhao Shu nodded, it is true that as long as he does not send troops to the pass, it depends on what Cao Cao can do to himself? Seeing Guan Feng's tired face, he felt heartache, and couldn't help but reach out to straighten the messy hair on her forehead for her, and said, "You and Rong'er will go down to rest first." Guan Feng resolutely refused, and said, "If you are there, I will accompany you there." Goodbye Rong'er also shook his head, and Zhao Shu stopped persuading.
Ma Chao also persuaded again: "Cao Jun doesn't know when there will be movement. Mr. still went to rest for a while, and handed it over to the last general and General Zhang. Zhao Shu saw that Cao Jun still didn't move, he really couldn't just talk to them, and wanted Guan Feng and Rong'er to go down to rest, so he promised: "There is General Lao." He repeatedly told that once Cao Jun moved, he must report it as soon as possible, and then he and Guan Feng and Rong'er went down to the camp together and returned to the outside of the camp. Guan Feng wanted to go back to his account, Zhao Shu thought about it, grabbed her and smiled: "Didn't you say that I was there, and you were there?" How about resting in my tent? ”
