Yangping Pass stands as it used to, with 5000 soldiers standing densely on the top of the city.

The city is still calm, the grass is in the sky, and there are no people.

The Xiliang army stationed [-] miles away would never have imagined that the heavily guarded Yangping Pass would be in a different situation at this time.

But all the tents on the large open space in the pass disappeared, replaced by a row of Yizhou army soldiers lined up with soldiers and heavily armored.Not only the soldiers are ready to go, but even the gentle and elegant Yizhou Governor Shi Zhao Wei, who has always been elegant and elegant, is now wearing a battle armor, an eagle helmet (also known as a pocket), and holding a sword, ready to fight in person.

The Xiliang army that had been stalemate for half a month did not come. Instead, the battle broke out behind Yangping Pass. Zhang Lu's general Yang Bai led his army to block the south gate, trapping the Yizhou army inside the pass.

The reason why the situation took such a sudden turn for the worse has to start ten days ago.

Ten days ago, Yang Song, a counselor under Zhang Lu's account, suddenly asked for leave and returned to Nanzheng City, but unexpectedly he returned to the pass that night.For the next two days, Yang Song followed Zhang Lu all day long, muttering about something.All I know is that not long after, Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei had a fierce dispute at the banquet, almost tearing their faces on the spot and facing each other with swords.

Late at night after the dispute, Zhang Lu left without saying goodbye and quietly returned to Nanzheng City, leaving Yang Song and Yang Bai brothers in the pass to deal with the aftermath.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu left, Yang Song and Yang Bai brothers then quietly left Yangping Pass with more than [-] Hanzhong troops, and took a large amount of food, grass and luggage, and all the remaining food, grass, and luggage. smashed.

The reason for this.It is because the grain, grass and supplies in the pass were originally supervised and distributed by the brothers Yang Song and Yang Bai, and the more than 1 Hanzhong Army soldiers stayed in the pass to guard the warehouse.And this is also a necessary means for Zhang Lu to defend against the Yizhou army, and even Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and others have no way to refute it.Although very reluctant, but had to accept.After all, Zhang Lu is responsible for supplying the food, grass and supplies needed by the Yizhou Army. The mouth of eating people is short, and they are on Zhang Lu's territory, so there is nothing wrong with such an arrangement.

It is precisely because the Hanzhong army is responsible for transporting grain and grass, the south gate connected to Hanzhong has always been guarded by Hanzhong soldiers, and it is common for Yizhou soldiers to transport grain and grass overnight for Hanzhong soldiers.He didn't become suspicious, and naturally he wouldn't report it to the general, and he didn't realize that the crisis had quietly arrived.

at the same time.Zhao Wei didn't take the verbal dispute at the banquet during the day to heart, and even thought that Zhang Lu was being unreasonable and too stingy.Isn't it just wasting some food and eating dozens of cows?What a big deal.Is it necessary to be so preoccupied and furious?For this reason, Zhao Wei still secretly ridiculed Zhang Lu in his heart for being too petty, narrow-minded, and difficult to achieve great things.

However, Zhao Wei never imagined that Zhang Lu actually did an incredible event, and this event put him and more than 3 Yizhou troops in a desperate situation.Zhang Lu actually left Yangping Pass overnight, not only taking away [-] Hanzhong soldiers, but also swept away the food and supplies.Everything that can't be taken away is destroyed.

"It's amazing, is Zhang Lu crazy? There is no food, grass, and supplies in the pass. How to resist the Xiliang army, and how to keep Yangping Pass?" When Zhao Wei learned that the Hanzhong army had all withdrawn from Yangping Pass and took away the food, grass, and supplies, Zhao Wei had these questions. Immediately came to his mind.Even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't understand why Zhang Lu did this, and he did it so terribly, leaving no way out.

In fact, Zhao Wei really wronged Zhang Lu.

The reason why Zhang Lu left Yangping Pass overnight was because he was angry and left in a fit of anger. He wanted to return to the county guard's mansion overnight to be quiet and quiet, and comfort his wives and concubines by the way, so that he could enjoy the happiness of all.After all, he has been fighting continuously for more than three months, and since Chen Cang was defeated, he has no leisure to enjoy Yinggeyanwu's leisurely life, and he really can't hold back.

By chance, Zhang Lu was very angry and had a big fight with Zhao Wei because the Yizhou army squandered food and supplies.Therefore, under his anger, he thought that he would not be out of sight and out of his mind. Instead of staying here and feeling useless, he might as well go back to the county guard's mansion to relax. Anyway, the Xiliang army will not be able to break through Yangping pass for a while.

Formally holding this thought, Zhang Lu left overnight, and before he left, he did not forget to tell Yang Song to inform Zhao Wei.But what he never dreamed of was that Yang Song actually violated his orders, conspired with his younger brother Yang Bai to rebel, and took away Hanzhong soldiers and food and supplies overnight on his own initiative.

Brothers Yang Song and Yang Bai sent more than 150 soldiers and provisions out of the South Gate under false military orders, but they did not return to Nanzheng City, but stationed in the nearby valley five miles outside the South Gate.But Yang Bo led the army to return on the same road before dawn, built a trench [-] steps away from the south gate, placed antlers, fences, and erected strong bows and crossbows to block the south gate so that even a bird could not fly. In the past, the Yizhou Army was trapped in the pass.As of today, the Yang brothers have besieged the Yizhou army for six full days.

And all of this, Zhang Lu is still in the dark, he is intoxicated with Yingge Yanwu all day long, unaware of the drastic changes in Yangpingguan.It was even more impossible for him to know that the Yang brothers led the Hanzhong soldiers to fight fiercely with the Yizhou army at the South Gate. It had been a bloody battle for six days, and the soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties.

After six days, the Yizhou army in Yangping Pass had been out of food for two days and had to kill horses to satisfy their hunger.

Today is the third day without food. Many Yizhou soldiers have been hungry for two days, and they can't hold on anymore.Therefore, if they can't break through the siege today, the Yizhou Army can only sit and wait for death and be buried in Yangping Pass.If this is the case, the [-] troops rushing to help Hanzhong this time will be completely wiped out, and none of them will be able to return alive.

The Yizhou soldiers who were in a desperate situation, on the contrary, had a sharp increase in combat effectiveness. In the past few days, they fought bloody battles with the Hanzhong Army, and they were evenly matched, and their combat effectiveness was not inferior to the Hanzhong soldiers.The fly in the ointment is that the strong bows and crossbows blocked outside the south gate are extremely lethal, and there are plenty of feathered arrows. They shot arrows desperately without hesitation, causing great damage to Yizhou soldiers and heavy casualties.

After six days of fierce fighting, the Yizhou army ran out of food and grass, and suffered a serious shortage of arrows. More than 1 soldiers were lost successively, but they still could not break through the defensive siege of the Hanzhong army.

Forced to do nothing, today Zhao Wei intends to lead the army to fight in person, if he fails, he will be benevolent, vowing to break out of the siege, otherwise everyone will die here.Of course, it was Yizhou general Wu Yi who led the army in the first battle. Zhao Wei was a scribe after all, and he was fine for posturing, but when it came to fighting, he was inferior to ordinary soldiers, and he was simply going to battle to die.

However, Zhao Wei, the commander-in-chief of the army, is not a person with a false name.There have been great changes in the pass in the past few days, but the defenders on the north gate tower have not moved at all, they still rotate every two hours, and always keep [-] soldiers standing on the tower, so that the Xiliang army who is eyeing the tiger does not see the slightest flaw, and still Stand still.

In fact, the [-] defenders just came down from the east and went up from the west, and the two sides were switched. There was no one to replace them, because the army in the pass was fighting at the south gate, and there was no extra troops to replace the defenders.Fortunately, although there were a large number of Xiliang scouts, they never got close to the city, otherwise they might have heard the shouts of killing from the other side of the pass, and thus discovered the weakness of the defenders at the top of the city.

small dividing line

Outside the south gate, in the temporary military tent, Yang Song and Yang Bai sat opposite each other, eating and drinking, feasting on their hearts.

After the meal, the two brothers leisurely sipped tea, and from time to time listened to the shouts of killing and the sound of arrows piercing the air, so as to deduce the intensity of the fighting.

"Third brother, today is the seventh day, and the food and grass of the Yizhou army should have been exhausted long ago. It's time to release the carrier pigeons to notify the Xiliang army to attack the city." The third younger brother Yang Bai ordered.

Yang Bai nodded in response: "Okay, I will listen to my brother and give orders immediately." Before the words fell, he recruited his own soldiers casually, handed over the letter that Yang Song had written long ago, and gave them careful instructions. The soldiers took orders to leave.

Seeing the white carrier pigeon flying northward with his own eyes, Yang Song stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to Yang Bai solemnly: "Today is very important, success or failure depends on one action, and all the glory and wealth of you and my brother depend on it. Therefore, the third younger brother must go all out today, guard the south gate no matter what, and never let go of a Yizhou soldier. This is the certificate of honor that our two brothers gave to the general. As long as the Yizhou army is trapped in the pass, and Without any weapons to defend the city, the Xiliang army will be able to break through the north gate in one fell swoop, and then enter the pass. If this battle is won, the third brother will be appointed a general and a marquis, and his wife and son. As a brother, I will go to the county guard's mansion, and now I can Tell Zhang Lu the truth. Now there are only [-] defenders in Nanzheng City, and this is Zhang Lu's entire army, so now he has no choice but to ask the general to surrender."

Yang Bai was startled when he heard the words, and asked casually, "What about Liu Zhang in Yizhou? Can Zhang Lu go to Yizhou?"

Yang Song laughed dumbly and said: "My third brother, why do you... Liu Zhang's [-] soldiers and horses were wiped out, all of which were killed by the Hanzhong army, and Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother were all killed by Liu Zhang. How could Zhang Lu go to Liu Zhang? Even if he went to join him pitifully, Liu Zhang would not take him in. Liu Zhang is not Liu Yan. Sooner or later, it will fall into the hands of others. Moreover, it is more likely to fall into the hands of the general. Well, without further delay, Brother Wei should go."

Before the words fell, Yang Song turned around and left, muttering as he walked: "With the speed of the Xiliang iron cavalry, it is estimated that by the time I arrive at the county guard's mansion, the Xiliang army has already broken through the north gate, and a single charge can wipe out the Yizhou army." , and then went straight to Nanzheng City. In this way, even if Zhang Lu became angry and wanted to kill me, he didn’t have the guts. Well, you can go to see him with confidence.”

Chapter 883

Thanks: Kabi Book Friends monthly ticket support, thank you!

Whoosh whoosh!

"Break out of the siege, chase and kill Yang Bai, kill!"

Outside the south gate, Wu Yi's burly and muscular body galloped forward with great strides, brandishing a saber and dashing forward bravely.

As he charged into battle and cut a bloody path, thousands of Yizhou soldiers rushed out, not afraid of random arrows and arrows, advancing without retreating.

Zhao Wei, who followed closely behind, screamed at the top of his voice, waved his sword, and boosted morale again and again. After failing to break through three times, he made a collective charge for the fourth time, and finally broke through the defense line of the Hanzhong Army, crossed the trench, and knocked off the antlers. Fight close to the Hanzhong soldiers blocking the south gate.

Hanzhong's soldiers were originally small, but after six days of bloody fighting, there were only [-] soldiers left from the previous [-] soldiers.At this moment, facing the Yizhou army, which was twice as large as itself, rushing forward without fear of death, the Hanzhong army was powerless to stop it, and was defeated in an instant.Immediately, the Yizhou army surged like a tide, and rushed straight to the temporary military tent of the Hanzhong army leader Yang Bai, and it was unstoppable.

"Don't retreat!" In front of the military tent, Yang Bai held a spear and yelled in a hysterical voice: "Stop them, hold them back, hold them back, no one is allowed to take half a step back, or they will be shot!"

It's a pity that the front lines of defense have been broken by the Yizhou army, the archers have lost their function, the strong bows and crossbows behind the trenches are useless, and the entire defense has completely collapsed.Tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers followed, and the fierce tiger-like offensive made the Hanzhong soldiers retreat steadily, and then scattered and fled.so far.The defense line at the south gate, which had besieged the Yizhou army for six days, fell, and the Yizhou army finally broke through the cage, desperately fighting back.Now he has killed in front of Yang Bai.

"Wu Yi is here, let the villain Yang Bai die!"

A loud shout like thunder shook Yang Bai's ears, and when he shook his head to regain consciousness, he saw a burly general from Yizhou approaching from the left, and the gleaming blade headed straight for him. The head on the item was chopped off.Yang Bo recognized the person who came, and this person was Wu Yi, General of Yizhou.

For a moment, Yang Bai didn't even think about it.Instinctively turned around and swung his gun to meet him. With the sound of "铛", Yang Bai rushed to fight, his strength was weak, and he was knocked back a few steps by Wu Yi's knife.

for a moment.Yang Bai's complexion was pale, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. He felt that he was not Wu Yi's opponent, so he tried to turn around and escape when he retreated.Unexpectedly, it was his timid behavior that made Wu Yi's confidence soar.More and more brave.After Yang Bai was knocked back with a single blow.Without hesitation, Wu Yi jumped up, raised his saber high, and slashed Huashan with a force, and slashed head-on at Yang Bai with great force.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by the muffled sound of a sharp object breaking through his body, Yang Bai uttered a final and extremely shrill scream, but this scream was extremely short, just a scream, fleeting.Accompanying him, his entire left shoulder was split open by Wu Yi.Yang Bai fell to the ground amidst the screams, and the screams stopped abruptly.He was split into two by Wu Yi alive, and there was no whole body in death.

"Okay, that's great! Brother Ziyuan is mighty and worthy of being the general of Yizhou!" Just when Yang Bai screamed to death, Zhao Wei arrived with his troops and witnessed Wu Yi beheading Yang Bai with his own eyes. The process is really simple and neat, very satisfying!

Wu Yi pulled out the blade embedded in Yang Bai's body, and scolded with a stern face: "This kind of shameless treacherous treacherous man deserves to die! If I don't chop him alive this time, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart!"

As soon as Yang Bai died, the Hanzhong soldiers who were still fighting in the corner collapsed and scattered like birds and beasts. They no longer wanted to fight, and each fled for his life in a hurry.Seeing this, Zhao Wei let out a long breath, put his sword into its sheath, strode to Wu Yi's side, looked at Yang Bai who was lying in a pool of blood, and said angrily, "This time we were beaten by the Yang brothers. Yes! When we came out of Sichuan, there was a total of more than 1 troops. After repeated battles, there are only more than 1 soldiers in front of us. Half of them died in the hands of the Yang brothers. They were besieged for six days and brutally killed our Yizhou army. More than [-] soldiers are extremely hateful!"

While speaking, Zhao Wei looked around, but did not see Yang Song.Immediately, his expression changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "Has Ziyuan ever seen the villain Yang Song?"

"Huh?" Wu Yi was surprised when he heard the sound, "I have never encountered this thief. When a certain army rushed over, only Yang Bai and dozens of soldiers stayed here, and Yang Song never showed up."

"Not good! Yang Song ran away, maybe he is at the Sheriff's Mansion persuading Zhang Lu to send more reinforcements, and kill us here in one fell swoop." Zhao Wei exclaimed in panic.

"Boom da da da!"

Before Zhao Wei finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud bang in Yangping Pass behind him, followed by the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
