"Zhang Lu came so fast?"

Liu Bei exclaimed: "Yuanzhi, filial piety, what should we do?" ”

Xu Shu said unhurriedly: "The lord gave me 10,000 people, bring enough explosives, I will first march to Jiameng Pass, and beat Zhang Lu back, and then the lord will lead the army to follow." ”

Liu Bei listened and decisively agreed: "Okay, then do it!" ”

Anyway, he didn't have an idea, it was all up to Xu Shu and Fa Zheng to give advice, and everything they said was right.

Not long after resting at Jianmen Pass, Liu Bei arranged for 10,000 people to be given to Xu Shu to leave first to save Jia Mengguan.

The soldiers that Xu Shu took away were all the original Yizhou soldiers, they had a certain understanding of Shu Dao, and the marching speed was much faster, and they passed Shu Dao quickly, walked for a long time, and finally came to Jiameng Pass.

At this time, Zhang Lu was attacking the city again.

The sound of shouting and killing echoed on the city tower of Jiameng Pass.

Zhang Lu and others set up a cloud ladder and constantly attacked it, and a large number of arrows rained down, throwing from the gate to the city tower above the gate, and the battle was quite fierce.

"The one on the right is on the fast patch, and there are two more ladders on the left......"

Zhang Lu personally went out and came to the bottom of the pass to command.

He has already discussed with Cao Cao, as long as Yizhou is taken, the north is his, and the south is Cao Cao's, and even how to divide it has been determined, and he is determined to win.

Therefore, he fought Jiameng Pass, fought very hard, and almost the whole army attacked.

I want to take it down before Liu Bei goes north, and then ambush Liu Bei on Shu Road, as long as Liu Bei is killed, the northern part of Yizhou, you can get it in your pocket, thinking of this, Zhang Lu continued to shout: "Attack, don't stop!" ”

There are not many guards on Jia Meng's pass, and although they occupy the terrain, as the guard here Zhang Wei, it is still very difficult to defend.

As a member of the Dongzhou faction, Zhang Wei naturally took refuge in Liu Bei.

In fact, Liu Bei and the others were already preparing near Jiameng Pass, and they wanted to attack Hanzhong, so Zhang Wei would lead his troops here and garrison the pass.

But no one could have imagined that Liu Bei had not yet sent troops, but Cao Cao persuaded Zhang Lu to attack Yizhou first.

Zhang Lu fought very fiercely, and the strong attack for several days made Zhang Wei almost unable to defend, and in the face of the Hanzhong soldiers outside the pass, he could only command the counterattack with difficulty, and let people keep throwing the wood and stones down and shooting the arrows.

However, it was difficult to suppress the onslaught of the enemy.

"General, reinforcements are coming."

At this time, a soldier ran back and said, "It's Mr. Xu, who has led 10,000 people to the bottom of Jiameng Pass to support us." ”

Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, the reinforcements finally came, and said excitedly: "Bring it quickly." ”

Xu Shu came to the city tower, and Zhang Wei bowed his hand.

"General Zhang, you're welcome!"

Xu Shu said, and said loudly: "Open the explosives and throw them down!" ”

The Yizhou soldiers lit the fuses on the explosives one after another and threw them at the Hanzhong soldiers who were besieging the city below.

Rumble!

The sound of the explosion, deafening, echoed below the tower, shaking the ground and moving, but the screams that followed were even louder under the tower!

The Hanzhong soldiers who were besieging the city were caught off guard and were bombed.

Zhang Lu didn't know that Liu Bei actually had firearms, and he was quickly blown up into a mess, and the soldiers who attacked the key problems ran around, and the advantage just now was completely lost.

"Mingjin!"

Zhang Lu watched the battle for a while, and finally shook his head and said.

Their flesh and blood can't stop the horror of explosives.

Clang!

Mingjin's voice sounded, and the Hanzhong soldiers who were disturbed by the explosives turned around and retreated to the barracks as if they had been amnestied.

The soldiers above the pass, shouting excitedly, finally held on.

Zhang Wei asked, "Strategist, what should I do next?" ”

Xu Shu said confidently: "With me, it is not difficult to hold the pass, now guard the pass first, and when the lord comes, we will launch a counterattack and seize the pass." ”

Their strategy, probably.

Next, it's a matter of waiting.

——

Cao Cao's direction of sending troops this time is still Badong, and if he wants to enter Yong'an again, where he falls, he will get up from where he will use Badong as a springboard to enter Shu.

At this time, he brought more than 80,000 people and stationed them in the east of Patong.

Pang Tong also came to Yong'an in Badong, also stationed 80,000 troops, the two sides have fought several battles, regardless of victory or defeat, Cao Cao's side, with the elite of the army to win, Pang Tong's side, the strategy is even better.

"The Pang Tong that Liu Bei found back is very difficult to deal with!"

Cao Cao fought several battles in a row, fought several games, but still couldn't take the chin, couldn't enter Yong'an, and was still blocked by Pang Tong outside, a little anxious, but Pang Tong's ability really made him admire.

He knew that this person was so strong, he should have taken the first step and took Pang Tong away and recruited him under his command.

However, before Liu Bei went south, Cao Cao had never even heard of Pang Tong, and if it weren't for Xu Shu's recommendation, Liu Bei would not have been able to find Pang Tong.

"This person's ability is indeed not weak!"

Xi Zhong followed the battle, came here together, and continued: "In Liu Bei's army, there are also explosives, our advantage is gone, and the two sides are fighting each other in short arms, and it is difficult to tell the winner in a moment. ”

Cao Cao asked, "What does Zhicai think, what should we do?" ”

I saw that Xi Zhong thought for a moment and said: "Continuing to stalemate here, it's not a way, Pang Tong actually wants to consume our time, and when Liu Bei goes to solve Zhang Lu, we need to break this deadlock." ”

As he spoke, he spread out a map.

"We can't just storm Yong'an head-on, I suggest secretly crossing the Yangtze River, detouring from the mountains in the south of Yong'an, and entering the rear of Pang Tong for a surprise attack."

Xi Zhong pointed to the map, his finger fell on a place on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and said: "The person who went to draw the map at the beginning marked it on the original manuscript, and this place is passable, just on the edge of the river valley. The disadvantage is that after bypassing, you still need to cross the river again, so that it is easy for the enemy to find out, and if the enemy cannot find it, you can smoothly invade the rear of Pang Tong. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while and decided: "Boren Wenlie, you lead 10,000 troops to take this risk, can you?" ”

Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu responded: "The subordinates receive orders." ”

"To use this strategy, we also have to launch a feint attack from the front to attract Pang Tong's attention in order to increase the success rate!"

Chen Gong said again.

"Let me go!"

Lu Bu was still angry about the defeat in the last battle, Liu Bei, the treacherous villain, dug a trap for him to jump in, and almost couldn't escape, shouting: "I can go out to fight and attract Pang Tong's attention." ”

Chen Gong nodded and said, "Feng Xian is brave, it is feasible!" ”

Cao Cao agreed: "Okay, if Feng Xian can attract success, I will be rewarded!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Lu Bu said loudly.

Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang first led their troops to leave, walked some distance to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, avoided Pang Tong's scouts, and then prepared to cross the river on a raft.
