Shuhan, Yizhou, Jiangyou.

More than 40,000 troops under the command of Cao Zhi, Deng Ai and Qiang Rui arrived in Jiangyou and were already in danger, so Cao Zhi and Deng Ai discussed and decided to rest in Jiangyou for three days to recover.

Three days later, the army was fully replenished and rested, and began to continue its march south.

The army soon arrived at Fucheng, which had very few defenders and immediately sent a letter to Chengdu asking for help, but Fucheng was quickly broken by Cao Zhi and Deng Ai.

When the letter for help arrived in Chengdu, Shu Han was shocked all over the country.

I don't know who leaked the news, and the news that the Wei army was about to hit Chengdu was spread everywhere in the entire city of Chengdu, and everyone was panicking.

Liu Chan urgently summoned Jiang Wan and Fei Yi to discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, Chengdu's defense is extremely empty, and the most capable generals and troops have gone to the front line, and even the Bai'er Army, which has been guarding the palace, has also gone to the front line.

Jiang Wan suggested to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, at this moment, the only way to let the Governor of the Central Capital lead the troops to General Xiang Chong, immediately go to Mianzhu Pass to defend against the enemy, and at the same time gather all the soldiers and horses Qin Wang, as long as you hold Mianzhu Pass tightly, and wait until King Qin's army arrives, Chengdu should be safe and sound." ”

Fei Yi also said: "The stakes are very high, and the minister is willing to work with General Xiang Chong to guard Mianzhu Pass." ”

There were two important ministers who gave Liu Chan advice, and Liu Chan's flustered heart finally settled down a little.

Soon, the Chengdu Imperial Palace issued a series of holy decrees, ordering the governor of Zhongdu Xiang Zhong and Fei Yi to lead 12,000 imperial forest troops to Mianzhu Pass to defend against the enemy.

The edict ordered Deng Zhi, the governor of Jiangzhou, Wei Yan, the governor of Yong'an, Ma Zhong, the governor of Hanzhong, Wang Ping, and Jiang Wei, the governor of Yongliang, to quickly send troops to the king.

Emperor Liu Chan personally appointed Xiang Chong as the leader of the army, and ordered him to lead 12,000 imperial forest troops to set off immediately, and quickly went to Mianzhu Pass to block Cao Zhi and Deng Ai's army.

Xiang Pet is kind, and loves the soldiers, and has excellent popularity in Shuzhong, whether it is Zhuge Liang or Jiang Wan, Fei Yi all respect Xiang Pet's person, and they all think that with Xiang Pet's steady character, although they may not be able to defeat Cao Zhi and Deng Ai. But it should be worry-free to hold Mianzhu Pass steadily and wait for the soldiers and horses of all walks of life to come to help.

Moreover, Xiang Pet brought 12,000 Imperial Forest troops this time, almost emptying the defenders of Chengdu, and now there are only 2,000 defenders left in Chengdu.

It can be seen that Liu Chan trusts Xiang Pet.

Xiang Pet also said that he would definitely live up to expectations, and would hold the Mianzhu Pass for His Majesty, and would never let a soldier pass through the Mianzhu Pass and enter the Chengdu Plain.

Mianzhu Pass is not far from Chengdu, Xiang Pet and Fei Yi rushed all the way, and it took only one day to arrive at Mianzhu Pass. Fortunately, Cao Zhi and Deng Ai have not yet broken through Mianzhu Pass.

"Jiangsuo Shuanglongtai, Guan Xiong Wumahou. Yizhou is like the heart, and it is a small throat here. The ancients once used this poem to evaluate Mianzhu Pass, although Mianzhu Pass is not as dangerous as Jianmen Pass, but it can also be regarded as an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

The 12,000-strong army quickly took over the defenses of Mianzhu Pass, and then began to organize the battlefield and prepare to meet the enemy.

Cao Zhi and Deng Ai really didn't let Xiang Pet and Fei Yi wait too long, and on the second day when Xiang Pet's department arrived at Mianzhu Pass, Cao Zhi and Deng Ai's 43,000 troops had already arrived outside Mianzhu Pass.

Cao Wei's army set up a large array outside the Mianzhu Pass, and soon began to attack the pass, and the first to lead the army to attack was the king of Di Qiangrui and the number one general under Deng Ai.

Shi Su personally led 3,000 dead soldiers to take the lead, and divided into two roads with Wang Qiangrui, carrying a ladder and pushing a cart to attack Mianzhu Pass.

Fei Yi saw the fierce offensive of the Wei army, and reminded Xiang Chong: "General Xiang, our army only needs to hold Mianzhu Pass steadily, and there is no need to go out to meet the enemy, as long as it can hold Mianzhu Pass for ten days, King Qin's reinforcements will be able to arrive, and then we can turn defeat into victory!" ”

Xiang Pet nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter can be saved by the general." ”

So Xiang Pet ordered the Imperial Forest Army not to attack at the pass, and only to defend the enemy with rolling wood and stones, bows and crossbows and arrows at Mianzhu Pass.

Shi Su and Qiang Rui braved the rain of bullets and bullets of the Han army for a long time, but they were never able to close the ladder frame, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops back to the camp.

Back in the camp, Shi Su hung his head and said: "The thief soldiers are firmly held and it is difficult to break through, so it is better to withdraw for the time being and choose another road to enter Chengdu, I don't know if the general thinks it is okay?" ”

Unexpectedly, Deng Ai was furious and shouted: "At the time of life and death, all in one move, what else can you say is not good, it is not good for you to attack the city, and this general will behead you to strengthen the heart of the army!" ”

Shi Su was frightened, and Qiang Rui also knew that Deng Ai was killing chickens and monkeys, and both of them were too frightened to move.

At this time, Cao Zhi came out to play a round, and he said to Deng Ai: "Xiang Pet has a serious personality, and Fei Yi is in the pass, and the two of them are guarding the pass, and it is indeed not easy to attack." The big war is imminent, how can you kill the general and mess up the position, it is better to let the division general attack again and make up for the merits! ”

Shi Su also arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to lead the army to kill again, this time, the last general must plant the military flag of the Great Wei on the head of the city of Mianzhu Pass, otherwise he will die under this Mianzhu Pass!" ”

Deng Aijian finally inspired Shi Shu's fighting spirit, and said loudly: "Okay, General Ben will give you another 2,000 soldiers and horses, and let you lead an army of 5,000. ”

"The last general obeys!" The master took the order and left.

Cao Zhi thought for a while and said: "Mianzhu Pass is just a small pass, if this pass can't be passed, then Chengdu we don't want to think about attacking it, this pass is very important, I will go in person!" ”

Deng Ai said: "Okay, I'll personally press the formation for you!" ”

Immediately the Wei army almost poured out, led by Shi Su led 5,000 Wei troops to take the lead, this time, no matter how much arrow rain Shi Shi braved, he did not flinch at all, took out the determination to die, and bravely rushed to the front line of Mianzhu Pass.

Inspired by the fierce and fearless death, the Wei soldiers burst out with great courage and determination and began to attack Mianzhu Pass desperately.

And Xiang Zhong personally went to the head of the city and commanded the army to counterattack the Wei army. Xiang Pet has always been with the soldiers, won the hearts of the army, under the personal encouragement of Xiang Pet, the Han soldiers also burst out of amazing combat effectiveness, struggling to lift the rolling wood and stones, and smashed the Wei army.

At this moment, Cao Zhi had already locked the location of Xiang Pet, and then silently recited the mantra.

The originally clear sky suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then a huge lightning bolt fell from the sky, and with lightning speed, it reluctantly fell on the top of Xiang Pet's head. The powerful electric current instantly passed through the body and exploded on Xiang Pet's body.

Immediately, a huge muffled thunder sounded, and a rumbling earthquake resounded throughout Mianzhu Pass.

General Xiang Chong was struck by a huge thunderbolt, and his body seemed to be drained of his soul, and he fell straight down from the Mianzhu Pass.

A shocking shout suddenly erupted among the Wei army:

"Han General Xiang Pet is already dead, and the Mianzhu Pass is only broken today, kill it!"

Shi Su raised his arms and shouted, and the Wei army was even more morale-like.

On the side of the Han army, many people in the city witnessed the fall of Xiang Pet, and they immediately panicked, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

A thought came to Fei Yi's mind: "It's over, Mianzhu can't hold it!" ”

The morale of the Wei army was more courageous than one another, and they were desperate to attack Mianzhu Pass, and Shi Su himself risked the bullet and missed, and took the lead in killing Mianzhu Pass along the ladder, and then killed a group of Han troops, and planted a Wei army flag at the head of the city.

Immediately, more and more Wei troops ascended the Mianzhu Pass.

Fei Yi is not good at military formation, he originally came here to serve as a staff member for Xiang Pet, but who expected to witness the fall of Xiang Pet, so Fei Yi was also determined to die here, and led his soldiers to fight with the Wei army non-stop.

However, Fei Yi was not a military general, and he didn't even wear armor, and was finally killed by Deng Ai, who climbed to the top of the city.

Mianzhu Pass, broken!
