Two days passed in a flash, with all kinds of siege equipment in place, and the state army launched a fierce offensive against Hangu Pass in the early morning of the third day.

As a general, Xu Rong took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the main attack team to show his loyalty.

Liu Bei didn't refuse, if Xu Rong didn't get his wish, the other party would be restless, thinking that he couldn't trust him.

With the sound of war drums, the battle began again.

Although the morale of the Xiliang army was low, they could still form combat power by defending the city, and their excellent archery skills were also brought into play, causing great casualties to the besieging army.

When the first day of the offensive and defensive battle was over, the city was already full of corpses, and the blood flowed like a river, but it was obvious that the casualties of the besieging side were greater, and the casualties of Xu Rong's troops were close to 3,000 under Huang Zhong's department.

This is the most tragic siege warfare, comparable to a killing machine.

The next day, the state army launched another fierce attack, this time even using large equipment such as siege towers.

However, as Li Ru sent the dead, the siege tower was also destroyed, and the siege failed again.

Late at night.

"Lord, if we continue to attack like this, I'm afraid that our department will be exhausted."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Fei couldn't help but speak. With sufficient enemy troops, if you want to forcibly break through this Xiongguan, I am afraid that you will have to leave tens of thousands of people.

In this case, even if it is captured, it will not be worth the loss.

Liu Bei was also a little distressed, these are the elites of a hundred battles killed through actual combat, and it is a pity to use them to attack the city.

But fortunately, this battle is almost over.

"There will be no need to attack again tomorrow, the city will be broken tonight."

The generals have raised their spirits.

Liu Bei's face became solemn, and he looked at Zhang Fei solemnly.

"Tonight, the gate of Hangu Pass will be opened, even if the Xiliang Army forms an iron wall, you will knock out a hole for me."

Although Zhang Fei didn't know how his brother would open the gate of Hangu Pass, he still patted his chest and promised: "Big brother, just rest assured, as long as the gate of Hangu Pass is opened, I will let it never close." ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu again: "Feng Xian." ”

"The end will be."

"After the Tiefu Massacre enters the city, you must quickly follow and be sure to guard the city gate."

"Whoa!"

"Cloud Chief."

"The end will be."

……

Liu Bei kept giving orders, arranging all the armies properly, and finally looked at Guo Jia.

"Bong-hyo, let's start."

Guo Jia bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.

Half an hour later, the Jinyi Guard led Qinglong out of the barracks.

——

The cool evening breeze seems to tell the sadness of the battlefield, and on the city gate, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are tired of leaning on the city wall to rest, ready to meet the bloody battle of the new day.

Dong Zhuo's general Li Dao is sitting at the head of the city inch by inch, guarding against the night attack of the state army.

At this moment, his ears suddenly moved, and he faintly heard the sound of iron tools hitting the city wall. As a battle-hardened general, his ears were very sharp, and he hurriedly got up and walked in the direction from which the voice came.

By the light of the fire and the faint light of the moon, he could see what it looked like, it was a hook hooked to the wall, and the tail of the hook was tied with twine.

"Enemy attack, give me up!"

Li Wei shouted with all his might, and at the same time quickly stepped forward to unhook the hook.

As far as the eye could see, soldiers in black armor were climbing up the hooks, some even approaching the top.

The soldiers around them woke up one after another when they heard this, and were about to untie the ropes, when the comrades next to them suddenly waved their butcher knives at them.

This is not an exception, it exists in almost every position at the head of the city, and the sudden change has blinded the Xiliang soldiers who have just woken up from a big dream.

And taking advantage of this gap, more and more soldiers from the trapped camp climbed to the top of the city and fought with the Xiliang army to a regiment.

In addition, there were also sounds of fighting and shouting at the city gate below, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

After being stunned for a short time, Li Dao quickly reacted and shouted: "There is a fine work......

As everyone knows, his words added to the confusion even more.

The thick night was already chaotic, and at the moment of the great enemy, a large number of small works appeared on their side, and the soldiers at the head of the city wanted to repel the enemy, but they were afraid that the comrades next to them would suddenly raise their butcher knives.

A silent suspicion is spreading, and it is difficult for the soldiers to gather together, and the soldiers of the trapped camp are still climbing the city wall.

At this moment, the city gate was slowly pushed open.

It turned out that a certain brocade guard became the centurion of the Xiliang Army, which may be due to ability.

After a few years of hibernation, it burst out.

He not only rebelled against the hundreds of people under his command, but also took advantage of the situation to seize the city gate, and now he is desperately resisting the surging Xiliang army.

With the pace of the earth shaking the mountains, Zhang Fei led the Tiefu Tu to rush to the forefront, and Lu Bu followed closely with a large force of cavalry.

It is still the coordination of heavy and light horses, just like the tip of a knife and the blade, the former penetrates and the latter tears.

Finally, with the integration of the large forces of the Iron Floating Massacre into the city, it was announced that the city gate had been completely lost.

……

"What's the alarm?"

Dong Zhuo, who heard the movement, woke up from his sleep, he didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, and thought it was just a surprise attack by the enemy army at night.

One of the generals replied: "Oh no, my lord, the city gate has been lost, and the state army has entered the city, and the generals are fighting a bloody battle with the enemy. ”

How can it be!

Hearing the general's answer, Dong Zhuo looked incredulous.

How steep is Hangu Pass, and the city gate has been reinforced several times, how could it be so easily breached?

The general said: "There are soldiers in the army who have worked hard, and it is they who have opened the city gates. ”

Dong Zhuo's face suddenly darkened, he had only been fighting with Liu Bei for less than half a month, how could he appear so quickly?

Secret agents?

Li Ru, who rushed to hear the news, was also stunned.

Could it be that Liu Bei had long expected that there would be a battle between the two sides, so he placed the fine work in advance?

"Lord, you need to be prepared to abandon the pass."

Although they don't want to admit it, they did lose again.

If it's just the castle tower, you can still try to recapture it. But if the city gate is lost, and the state army will swarm in, this result is no less than another head-on battle.

Can they fight and merge with the state army?

That battle had already proved everything, and if there was a chance of victory, they would not be forced to Hangu Pass.

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "After giving up Hangu Pass, can we still sleep peacefully?" ”

Li Ru sighed in his heart, how could he be willing to give up this place where soldiers must fight, but now that the wood is complete, it is just in vain to continue to persevere.

"Lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, after this battle, Liu Bei is already the first prince in the world, and the other princes will not sit back and watch him continue to grow."

Dong Zhuo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "We are unwilling!" ”

"It's better to turn grief and anger into fighting spirit, the ancients said, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late."

"If the lord preserves his strength, Liu Bei will not continue to chase and kill. But if the strength of our army does not exist, Liu Bei is afraid that he will plot more! ”
