The morning light was faint, and under the Yangping Pass, a deafening sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the earth trembled lightly here.

Raising his eyes, he saw a group of people and horses at the end of the official road outside the Sunshine Pass, the bright "sealed" character flag fluttering in the wind under the sky, and the bright armor flashed with a dazzling luster.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"Woo-woo-"

The sound of neat shouts and the horn of attack rang out at the same time.

For a moment, the jagged sword went straight into the sky, glowing with a cold light;

The horse's hooves on the ground made a heavy "rumbling" and rushed with an unstoppable momentum.

"Gotta get it..."

"Da Da Da..."

The neighing of the horses mingled with the sound of the horses' hooves.

The war horses galloped, and the dust raised was billowing and surging, hitting like a tidal wave, which was daunting and terrifying.

However, the scariest thing is not these.

These horses' hooves are just to clean up the battlefield and eliminate the antlers and obstacles outside Yangping Pass...

The real siege equipment was already behind them, and it was like a dormant giant beast that suddenly stood up straight, and slowly moved forward with a tall, mighty, and unquestionable appearance.

On the other hand, the defenders of Yangping Pass have just woken up from their sleepy eyes, and when they came back to their senses, they were already covered with soldiers who were covered with black pressure, like a tide, and with hoarse shouts, countless strong crossbows had burst out from the ballista carts and smashed into the city of Yangping Pass.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

The deafening sound, incomparably real, and incomparably ferocious, above the city... A soldier of the Wei army was still there in a daze one moment, and the next moment he was smashed into a mess of soft mud by a powerful crossbow that suddenly fell from the sky.

It was only then that the defenders of Yangping Pass woke up from a dream, and they shouted: "The enemy is attacking... Enemy attack..."

Soon, Xiahou Yuan and his sons Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou said that they had ascended to the city.

While stepping forward, Xiahou Yuan commanded, "Don't panic, the generals are holding on to dangerous places, Heng'er, you go and command the archers, pull the strings, and release the arrows-"

"Ba'er, you open the arsenal on the castle tower, and let the soldiers quickly carry the wood, arrows, and stones, and throw them at the invading enemy-"

"Cheng'er, you lead a team of soldiers to supervise the battle at the head of the city, if you see a soldier who has the intention of retreating, you can kill on the spot, and if you see the wounded, rescue as soon as possible——"

With Xiahou Yuan's orders...

Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou said that they all bowed their hands: "Obey!" ”

Suddenly...

The entire Yangping closed only experienced a brief panic, and quickly became orderly.

Then again, this time... Liu Feng's army is coming to the city... Xiahou Yuan was not idle.

All the Wei generals including him were prepared for this, not to mention, no one here thought... The Shu army, which only won a small victory, had the ability to storm this towering and solid Yangping Pass.

…

Under the city pass.

Wu Yi sat in the Chinese army, he held the order flag, and commanded loudly: "Pass the order, the first person to climb Yangping Pass will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be promoted to the third level——"

"No..."

"Da Da Da..."

The herald rode forward quickly, galloping, shouting, "The general has an order, the first to ascend to Yangping Pass will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and promoted to the third rank... Those who ascend to Yangping Pass first will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and they will be promoted to the third level! ”

At this time, the sky was just dawning, but for a while, Yangping Pass went down the mountain and shouted a tsunami, and the fire was bright...

The siege army poured in like a tidal wave, and all kinds of old-fashioned siege equipment such as ladders, rushing carts, and trebuchets were readily available.

As for the Lu bus, the double-hook car, the eight-bull crossbow... Because of Huang Yueying, these brand-new siege equipment are partly used in the siege battlefield here, giving the enemy troops defending the city a sudden attack!

"Whoosh-"

Countless arrows were also shot down from the city gates, like locusts crossing the border.

"Array of shields, go up... Cover the ladder—"

"Rush up, kill—"

The soldiers of the Shu army shouted, braving the rain of arrows and rolling stones, and charged forward desperately.

On the tower of the city, the soldiers of the Wei army defending the city also tried their best, some holding spears, struggling to assassinate the enemies who climbed the city;

Some of them opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemy troops under the city and shooting indiscriminately;

Others are busy carrying heavy objects such as stones and rolling logs, and constantly use these heavy objects... Destroy the enemy's ladder and deal a fatal blow to the enemy who wants to get ahead of the curve.

For a while, the color of blood shrouded the entire sky, and it also dyed the bright morning light and morning sun red.

The besieging army kept charging, but each time it was stubbornly repulsed by the defending army.

There was a river of blood on the walls, and there were a lot of casualties on both sides.

It seems that this Yangping Pass is not easy to climb!

Not to mention the so-called - "first to go"!

However, Wu Yi, who was in charge of the Chinese army, did not show half of his anxiety because of this scorching battle situation...

It seems that he will always look confident.

Or rather, he has a clear understanding of his position.

He knew that the more ferocious he fought on his side, the more he would be able to attract the attention of his enemies, and on the other side... The easier it was for their main eldest son, Liu Feng, and his military advisor Ma Jian to seize Dingjun Mountain, the easier it would be to complete.

It's just that... Watching his soldiers die one by one under Yangping Pass, he inevitably felt a heartache.

But there was never a woman's kindness on the battlefield.

Wu Yi is still clear about the truth that will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither.

"Whew..."

With a heavy exhalation, Wu Yi's heart was horizontal, he ordered the flag to be unfurled again, and shouted loudly to order, "Send more soldiers and horses from the two schools to assist in tackling key problems, if you don't go down to this Yangping Pass today, this battle will never stop!" ”

With Wu Yi's words, thousands of infantry rushed to Yangping Pass.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The drums outside the gate are thundering...

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

And the drums beat on the top of the city.

"Kill..."

"Kill it..."

"Capture Yangping Pass..."

"Archer, full strings... Arrows, arrows..."

"With the Rolling Stones, with the Rolling Stones..."

"Where's the golden juice? Sprinkle it..."

The cries of the attackers and defenders are intertwined...

Another round of new offensive began, another round of shouts and screams were intertwined, and the battle became more intense.

…

…

The Bashan Mountains, on top of a mountain.

The bloody and fierce main battlefield under Yangping Pass... The contrast is stark.

Over here... There was also a conquest, but... From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took only a quarter of an hour.

But I saw a group of Wei soldiers who had lost their armor and staggered down the mountain, one by one covered in blood, their mottled faces with a panicked look that could not be concealed, and their blood-red eyes were full of fear after defeat.

Beyond that, there's a touch of despair about the future.

Their hair is scattered, and their helmets don't know where they fell...

The wound on his body was still aching, and his throat was moaning in pain.

The blood-soaked armor also kept dripping blood on the ground, leaving a trail of bloody marks behind him as he fled.

It's this imprint... Let the pursuers catch up with them.

"Da Da Da..."

I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves resounding on the mountain road.

Soon, these horses caught up with this group of deserters from the Wei army, and the first one was Liu Feng, who opened his bow and set up arrows..."whoosh" and hit one of these soldiers.

"Ahh

With a scream, the man's throat was pierced by an arrow, and he fell down in great misery.

The sound of horses' hooves was closer.

At this time, this group of Wei army deserters no longer dared to escape, and they fell to their knees one after another with a "poof".

"The general spares his life..."

Watching these Wei soldiers lay down their weapons and kneel on the ground...

Liu Feng turned over and dismounted... His gaze turned to one side... There is a horse that is late, and the one riding on the horse is a young, delicate son, but not a young horse? Who else could there be!

"General, let me ask..."

Ma Tan also turned over and dismounted, and immediately walked up to the soldiers, and he looked around at the mountains around him, and then asked, "Which battalion are you from?" Who are your generals? ”

I blurted out this... Among the trembling Wei troops, the captain led by him raised his face and replied: "We were originally under the command of General Cao Hong, but General Cao Hong was captured... We will be incorporated into General Cao Xiu's corps..."

Ma Tan then asked, "Then the person in charge of garrisoning this Bashan Mountain Range is Cao Xiu?" ”

"Yes..."

With a definite answer, Ma Tan looked around at the surrounding mountains again, "Then let me ask you?" Which mountain is your general stationed on? Which mountain is the Dingjun Mountain close to Yangping Pass? ”

The reason why Ma Jian asked so much was because he and Liu Feng were both from Jingzhou, where were they familiar with the terrain of the "Bashan Mountain Range".

Just know... Yangping Pass is adjacent to Dingjun Mountain, through which you can cross Yangping Pass and hit Hanzhong directly.

Can... The Bashan Mountains are more than 1,000 miles long, and there are more than a dozen towering mountains visible to the naked eye alone, one after another...

Which one is Dingjun Mountain? Ma Jian and Liu Feng have no bottom in their hearts.

I could only hear the cowardly reply of the Wei military captain: "There are twelve peaks in the Bashan Mountain Range that are as tall as Dingjun Mountain, and now the general is the first peak, and Dingjun Mountain is the third... As for General Cao Xiu, he was originally stationed on Dingjun Mountain, but... Yangping Pass was in a hurry, he led his troops to gallop to help, and now there are less than 1,000 soldiers and horses on the fixed army! ”

Not...

When the lieutenant's words came out, Ma Jian subconsciously raised his chin.

On the one hand, he wondered if the information the captain was telling was true.

On the other hand, if Cao Xiu really went to the aid of Yangping Pass, it would be easy to capture Dingjun Mountain... When the time comes, a bypass Yangping Pass, from Shuzhong to Hanzhong avenue is opened, whether it is the lord Liu Bei, or the generals, you can wave the army from now on, and capture Hanzhong in one go, and at that time, he Ma Tan and Liu Feng, who opened up such a road, are undoubtedly... It is the greatest meritorious achievement.

It's enough for them to take what they need -

Thinking of this, Ma Tan's eyes narrowed faintly, as if he had imagined the day of rewarding meritorious deeds.

"Young Chang..."Liu Feng saw that Ma Jian was in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "If the Wei army is such a mountainous garrison, then it is not said that it is the third mountain of Dingjun Mountain, that is, to capture all the twelve peaks of this Ba Mountain is like exploring the bag, but... What this guy said... Can you believe it? ”

"Most of them can be believed!" Ma Tan replied directly, he glanced at the captain and the remnants of the Wei army, and his tone was a little more determined, "First, their lives are in our hands, there is no need for them to tell lies, and second... If I were the commander of the Wei army, if I wanted to garrison this Bashan Mountain Range, I would definitely set up an ambush at the first mountain, and when I was halfway up the enemy, I would take down the victory in one go, and it would be absolutely impossible... And then there is an ambush in the mountains behind, which is the end of the house, so..."

Speaking of which...

Ma Yan's gaze stared directly at the captain, "If you want to be the guide of our army?" Lead our army to attack this mountain? Are you willing..."

This...

As soon as Ma Yan's words came out, the lieutenant and a cadre of Wei soldiers looked at each other, revealing embarrassment.

Ma Jian was proficient in scheming, and he saw their dilemma, "Isn't it that the old and young family are still in the north?" Don't worry, I will let out my words, saying that you resisted to the death and finally died in battle, so that your family can get the generous pension of the thief, in addition, I can also help you start a family in Shu! So the best of both worlds? What are you waiting for? ”

This...

These Wei soldiers looked at each other again, and then the captain gave his hand first, "The general has said so, how dare we not do the work of dogs and horses?" ”

"Hahahaha..." Ma Tan laughed, he turned to Liu Feng, and his laughter became more firm: "Childe, this time... We are in the right place at the right time! ”

said this, but Ma Jian whispered, adding in a voice that only he and Liu Feng could hear.

"Although these Wei pawns are credible, in order to be foolproof, the general... You still have to send someone to investigate the mountains first, if so... As these Wei pawns said, it's not too late to attack..."

Not...

Ma Yan's loud and private words directly stunned Liu Feng.

Liu Feng let out a long "exhalation", he bowed his head solemnly, and then said: "It's still thoughtful when you are young!" ”

…

…

There is a portrait enshrined on the incense case, this portrait is Zhuge Liang's father Zhuge Jue, and Zhuge Liang is playing "Liang Fu Yin".

- "Once slandered, two peaches killed three soldiers." Who can plan for this, Xiangguo Qi Yanzi..."

Originally, the sound of the piano was very gentle, but when it came to the sentence "two peaches kill three soldiers", the sound of the piano suddenly became intense.

Like an arrow that breaks through the sky, gallops out;

Like a warrior who fights bravely on the battlefield;

A raging flame jumps and tumbles on the strings, unleashing endless energy and enthusiasm.

Every note jumps and collides in the air, inspiring dazzling sparks, surging, surging waves, wave after wave, and finally... At the end of a song, the strings suddenly broke, Zhuge Liang picked up the strings abruptly, and sighed: "Two peaches kill three soldiers, I don't want to... Such a conspiracy could be happening to me! ”

Huang Yueying walked into the room with the medicine, put the black pills and medicinal soup on the table, and then asked: "Good, E's E's like Mount Tai, good, like a river... Doesn't Kong Ming like to play "Flowing Water"? How did he suddenly play "Liang Fuyin" and break the strings..."

Zhuge Liang laughed at himself and replied: "The times are destined to move forward, whether it is mountains and flowing water, or rolling torrents, you must devote yourself to it, and it is useless to play "Flowing Water" again... Sometimes, I can't help but think of the repentance of my master, Mr. Shuijing, in this era of decay of etiquette and music, if you want to use the right path to seek the world, you must be more than the evil devil... More familiar with the great evil and the great rape! It is not the right way to go west to Bashu, and it is not the right way to seek the territory of the clan, but these... But after all, it has achieved three points in the world! ”

Huang Yueying, Hui Quality, Lan Xin...

Combined with what had happened recently, she guessed something at once.

"Is Kong Ming worried about your disciple Ma Yan?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "It doesn't matter if two peaches kill three soldiers, or one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, compared to the unification of the world, the lord is so old... The return of the prince is an imminent level, and this level... I am often gambling, this level... He was destined to lose! Alas... I hold him in such high esteem, I admire him, and I give him all my talents, but... But eventually... In the end, it was his ego that hurt him! ”

Huang Yueying pondered for a moment, "Maybe... That's fate... Besides, hasn't she lost yet? ”

"He's already lost, not only lost, but died..."

Zhuge Liang's words made Huang Yueying glare at him, and said angrily, "What do you say, you can't die!" ”

Zhuge Liang restrained the throbbing in his heart, "Don't say it, don't say it... For a moment, how I wished he was Guan Yunqi, because... Only Guan Yunqi can be put to death and come back to life! ”

Speaking of which...

The footsteps of the steps are from far and near, very urgent...

"Strategist, Strategist..."

Yang Yi hurriedly came, saw Zhuge Liang, and hurriedly said, "It's time to start attacking Yangping Pass... But the commander of the Chinese army is not Liu Feng, but Uncle Wu..."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked, "What about Liu Feng and Ma Yan?" ”

Yang Yi frowned, and could only answer truthfully: "I don't know, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air..."

This...

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he hurriedly covered his chest, stumbled his legs, and took a step back.

The most, most, most, most worrying thing happened.

Huang Yueying helped him...

"Kong Ming, what's wrong with you?"

"The last time I won the first battle, it was because I won by surprise, but... This time, he is in danger again..."Zhuge Liang's eyebrows tightened, "I'm worried... I'm worried that he is smart but is mistaken by cleverness! ”

…

…

Jingzhou, Anlu City.

Today's Guan Lin seems to have something on his mind, pacing back and forth in the room...

After a long time, he stopped in front of Lu Xun and asked, "Where is the reverse Wei?" Still no news—"

"No..."Lu Xun replied truthfully: "Except for Nanyang Zangba's soldiers and horses turning into farmers and slowly sneaking into Jingzhou, intending to be white phosphorus, that group of Taoists there... Nothing news! ”

"Oh..."Guan Lin couldn't help but rub his chin and muttered in his heart:

- "Is it so calm?"

Seeing Guan Lin like this, Lu Xun asked what he was most concerned about, "Recently... Whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangdong, all officials and generals are talking about the war in Yangpingguan in Hanzhong... It is said that Liu Fenggongzi won the first battle and severely damaged the enemy's spirit... Why don't you hear Yunqi mention this matter? ”

"What did I mention?" Guan Lin spread his hands... A sense of déjà vu that doesn't care and doesn't care.

"How?" Lu Xun was even more curious...

Seeing Lu Xun's curious appearance, Guan Lin couldn't help but sigh "sigh", "A dead man... What is there to mention? ”

"Dead people?" Lu Xun was shocked... He couldn't help but look more puzzled.

He hurriedly asked: "General Liu Feng is also the stepson of Uncle Liu Huang, he has made many meritorious deeds over the years, whether it is martial arts or commanding troops, he is at the upper level, although he may not be as experienced as Xiahou Yuan, but even if he does not win, if he retreats... It shouldn't be a big problem! Why... What about the dead man in the mouth of the cloud flag? ”

This one...

Guan Lin's eyes flickered, then shook his head, and then explained: "Bo Yan only saw Liu Feng and Xiahou Yuan, but he didn't see... The other two people in this showdown are precisely these two people... is the key to this battle! ”

"Who?"

"Ma Tan and Jia Xu—" Guan Lin replied without thinking.

This...

Lu Xun was even more surprised, he knew Ma Tan's words, this time Liu Feng went on the expedition, and the military division in the army was this Ma Tan...

It is precisely because of this horse that he won the first battle and won the victory.

And even... It was all reported that this Liu Feng made Cao Cao angry, and angrily scolded the rumor that "the fake son of the big-eared thief forced the lonely to such a point"...

But Jia Xu's words?

Wait a minute... Isn't Jia Xu in Luoyang? He... When did he arrive in Hanzhong? When did you participate in the battle for Yangping Pass?

Seeing that Lu Xun still looked full of doubts.

Guan Lin continued, "Bo Yan, you also know that we have a lot of eyes in the territory of the anti-Wei Dynasty, almost all the anti-Wei officials, their movements, including weddings and funerals, including going back and forth, we will more or less collect some... But lately..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused, "It's been a whole month, and none of the information sent back by Wei is about this 'Jia Xu Jia Wenhe'... What if he wasn't in Hanzhong? Could it be... Will it disappear into thin air? ”

Yes...

This...

Guan Lin's words instantly persuaded Lu Xun, and also made Lu Xun's pupils widen suddenly.

Indeed, if it was Xiahou Yuan to Liu Feng, then... The gap exists, but it is not something that cannot be made up by tactics, tactics, and strategy, but if it is Jia Xu...

Call...

Lu Xun couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Speaking of which, he is only afraid of three people in the reverse Wei, the first one is - the ghost plot Guo Fengxiao;

the second is to leave the fragrance Xun Ling Xun Wenruo;

The third is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, who messed up the world and poisoned the loyal and virtuous!

If it's him...

The Hanzhong battlefield and the Yangpingguan battlefield, the balance of victory is about to be completely shifted and deflected!

Just when Guan Lin and Lu Xun mentioned Jia Xu, Ma Yan, Liu Feng, Xiahou Yuan, and ... Someone is already a dead person.

"Bang dang", only to hear outside the door... The sound of a wooden box falling to the floor...

Look out the door again... Standing was a figure, but this figure, as if it had been stimulated in some way, and... The whole shadow fell...

Then there was Shiwu's shout: "Ji Changjunshi, you... You didn't go to see the son of Yunqi, how did you live... How did you stumble outside this gate? ”
