"Run quickly, the long spear and iron cavalry can't stop the rushing formation!"

"Run up the mountain! They can't catch up on the mountain!"

The cavalry of the Xiliang Army has always been dominated by spears, which was deeply understood by Cao Cao when he attacked Ma Chao in later generations. Therefore, the best way to deal with the Xiliang army is to either form a formation with a crossbow first, or build a mud wall, so that "even if Ma Chao has a spear, how can he stab it?"

Unfortunately, these points are not available for the lack of crossbows and long soldiers and construction technology. Therefore, Gan Ning stayed in Maming Pavilion Road for the five thousand Bans, and the two attempts to "try to detour to enter Yangping Pass for reinforcements" were all so realistic.

At the same time, Banhuan crossed mountains like flying, and climbed mountains every time he was caught, so the casualties were extremely small. However, because of the food truck and the supplies could not cross the mountains, they could still be seized by the Xiliang army every time, and they could get dozens of vehicles and military supplies, and they would get a little blood.

Let Dong Yue and Fan Chou still be tempted by the temptation of "annihilation of the enemy and seize the enemy's supplies" even though they knew that the enemy's vanguard reinforcements had arrived and subsequent reinforcements could also occur at any time.

And all the preparations have been prepared in the past few days.

Not no one in the Xiliang army saw through all this, but the man did not know it at the first time, nor was he on the front line - that was Jia Xu, who led the rear army with Zhang Xiu, and stationed in Hechi County to confront Lusu and Huchuquan.

Jia Xu received news from the front line more than a day after the arrival of Ganning. He also rushed more than 100 miles from Daying in Hechi County to Daying in Yangpingguan to learn more about the situation and witnessed Ganning's second deficit.

Then Jia Xu advised: "I'm afraid Gan Ning is not pretending to be defeated and luring the enemy? He doesn't seem to know how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses when using mountain barbarians like this. Otherwise, let it go, it seems that Yangping Pass can't be conquered."

Unfortunately, Dong Yue was already in a desperate situation: In the previous battle against Yangping Pass, he could only kill at least five soldiers to replace Liu Bei and kill one peasant soldier. The exchange rate is more than a loss? Now, he is fighting against Gan Ning. Although he can't kill many people, his exchange rate is still quite profitable.

If you make a gambler who has lost so long, you will finally get off the poker table when you are lucky. Who can resist it?

Dong Yue scolded viciously: "Gan Ning was defeated and came again, why did he lure the enemy? It was obviously because we were doing a good blockade, so Gan Ning didn't know how dangerous Yangping Pass was. He was eager to savior, so he attacked my strengths with his own shortcomings, and fought along the valley road with barbarians and cavalry!"

No matter what Jia Xu said, Dong Yue interpreted Gan Ning's "repeated defeats and repeated battles" as "the desire to save the master."

Jia Xu had no choice. Anyway, Dong Yue was a general of the Central Army, and the other three Central Army guards were all defending the Eastern Front, but he defended the Western Front. The relationship between the two sides was not deep. Without ironclad evidence, some things were not easy to "resent to death".

Jia Xu really has no solid evidence, all he has is suspicion.

So he quickly returned to Hechi and continued to station troops with Zhang Xiu. Over the years, he found that only Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu respected him the most, and followed his advice. It would be better to control them to protect themselves.

If there are too many friendly generals, they will not be able to lead them.

...

On the second day of September, the final battle day of tightening your pockets has finally arrived.

Gan Ning's troops who stayed in Maming Pavilion Road, who "wanted to reinforce Yangping Pass to rescue the Lord, but were repelled twice and could not enter the pass to join" finally came to kill for the third time.

However, what surprised the Xiliang army stationed in Xiguan Post on the opposite side was that this time the arrival of the five thousand barbarians who were good at mountain warfare were no longer the more than 10,000 Han infantrymen.

The first big flag shows that it was Zhang Yide, the general who was invaded.

Zhang Fei had more than 10,000 troops, and there were nearly 2,000 people. The size of two battalions was that everyone was equipped with iron armor and a horse-slaying sword made of fine steel. Obviously, these soldiers were all configured according to the "quasi-stricken camp", but their elite level and martial arts were definitely not as good as the original trap camp that Gao Shun personally led.

As mentioned earlier, due to the repeated chances of plundering the imperial arsenal and the fruits of Liu Bei's camp after entering Yizhou, the Han army could take out four or five thousand pairs of iron armor for the infantry to use, which was enough to form five new camps. And let the cavalry change their chest armor,

The training plan for the new trap camp will take at least two years to complete, and it will also be baptized by the blood and fire of the battle formation and mature actual combat, so strictly speaking, it has not been trained yet.

Because Guan Yu and Gao Shun had relatively few troops to Nanzhong, each newly formed camp also took turns to go to the battlefield to train, and most of them stayed behind the Chengdu Plain to train. This time, Zhang Fei came to rescue his elder brother and brought these two camps that were left behind to rest.

Zhang Fei's quality is far from comparable to the newly recruited peasant soldiers in Hanzhong. Among them, as the backbone of grassroots officers, they are all veterans who have been with Liu Bei for five or six years. As long as the infantry brought in Youzhou were still alive, basically everyone will be promoted to sergeant commander.

There were 100% of the veterans who had been in the army for five years, and the rest had two or three years of military experience, and Zhang Gaoshun's training, so when you waved it there, the momentum would be very different.

The Xiliang cavalry of Dong Yue's army was reckless at the beginning, but when they faced the opposite gun formation, they were like a forest of guns, and the front row of soldiers who were stabbed with one hand and the other were waiting for the battle. The bows and crossbows were shot in turn, and they immediately became timid.

The quasi-sanctuary camps of the two battalions were stable, because the terrain was narrow and the formation was very thick, and there were also Banhua barbarians on the hillsides of the two wings to support them. After hundreds of people were killed and injured, the Xiliang soldiers found that the battle could not be fought at all, so they retreated to Xiguan Post and reported to Dong Yue and Fan Chou for a hurry.

"Zhang Fei came so quickly? It seems that we were really dragged by Gan Ning. It's better to retreat. Let the infantry in Xiguanyi prepare to retreat first, leaving only the cavalry to cut off the rear. After our army slightly distanced, let the cavalry out of contact. Fan Chou, you organize the cut off the rear!"

The Central Army General Dong Yue was so powerful that he took advantage of his high level. Fan Chou was just his lieutenant, which clearly made him perform more dangerous tasks.

Then Dong Yue gradually led the central army and slowly retreated to the direction of Chencang Road, striving to return to Hechi County within two days to meet Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. In fact, if you force yourself to do it lightly, you can arrive in one day.

Fan Chou had no choice but to face the front of Yangping Pass and make arrangements to prevent anyone from rushing out of the pass. He was also ready to go to Xiguan Post to block Zhang Fei from heading north.

Let’s talk about Dong Yue’s belief that he was foolproof. There was Zhang Xiu in front and Fan Chou in the back. He was very safe in the middle. He retreated nearly twenty miles away with the central army of more than 10,000 people, and his vigilance gradually relaxed.

Suddenly, the hillside on the northeast side of the valley was almost densely forested, and there were a burst of rapid drums and horns roars and flags and shouts. I don’t know how many crossbowmen and ambushmen came out together. In fact, Gan Ning only had three thousand people here, but the problem was that Dong Yue didn’t know.

"Shoot hard at the team of iron cavalry with everyone's black armor!" Gan Ning waved his flail and iron halberd and shouted loudly. The eighty Zhuge crossbows deployed in advance on the high slope immediately opened fire. In more than ten seconds, eight hundred featherless iron arrows shot out and rushed towards Dong Yue and the elite Xiliang Black Armor Iron Cavalry guards beside him.

"Protect the General of the Central Army!" Xuanjia's personal soldiers waved their weapons one after another, looking for shields to cover them.

Dong Yue's pupils shrank violently, and he subconsciously waved his sword and spear to block it. He was originally quite confident in the exquisite bright light armor on his body, and felt that he had hope to withstand it, but he was taught to be a human being within a few seconds.

"Uhhhhh..." With the long screams like a cow, Dong Yue was stabbed into a hedgehog by twenty or thirty crossbow arrows, and soon lost his breath, and his death was as miserable as Zhang He.

At that time, the four middlemen under Dong Zhuo were killed, and Lu Bu ran away. Now Dong Yue died, leaving only Duan Wei, who was timid and afraid of things to follow the crowd.

Similar to Dong Yue's fate, there were his personal soldiers in black armor. The ordinary soldiers behind who only had leather armor or even no armor were wiped out by a small group of elite iron armor and the commander. The visual impact was so shocking that they didn't know how many enemy troops were.

"Kill!" Gan Ning led hundreds of dead soldiers to block the way from the tree. There were crossbows on it, turning the narrow mountain path into a place of death that could not be passed. Occasionally, there were crossbows suppressing areas that had been passed through the crossbow formation suppression area that had been dozens of steps in front of Gan Ning, and there was no enemy that Gan Ning had joined together. He was killed by a halberd and his hands were killed into a string of blood gourds.

The rebels in Xiliang soon became in chaos and just wanted to squeeze back to Yangping Pass, and then go to Xiguan Post to retreat on Fanchou Road.

But this kind of retreat was extremely chaotic. Not everyone thought of breaking through the road. It was just that those who were timid and timid in fighting chose this way, and the young man who was not afraid of death wanted to rush forward to Ganning. As a result, the Xiliang army itself took a long time of rapid self-trampling, which was considered a unified opinion.

Unfortunately, Gan Ning didn't dare to chase him deeply, and only dared to block the road and kill him. After all, his preset position is here, and the Zhuge crossbow firepower point above his head cannot move. If he rushed out and left the firepower protection of the crossbow formation, he would easily be swallowed by tens of thousands of troops.

But Gan Ning's strategic goal has been achieved, and Li Su gave him the task to force the enemy to not dare to go here.

Dong Yue's troops trampled on each other and retreated. As soon as they arrived at Yangping Pass, they wanted to pass the door and slipped away directly. Li Su's second move was launched again.

Dong Yue's army probably passed the seven or eight thousand people in front, and there were seven or eight thousand people behind them before, and the door suddenly opened. Dian Wei rushed out with hundreds of Banhuan warriors wielding swords (halberds) and shouting. Dian Wei rushed to the forefront and cut off the enemy's long snake formation in the marching.

Although there were many enemy troops, because the formation was very long, there were not many people who entered the battle head-on for a while, so they were caught off guard by Dian Wei and killed more than a dozen times.

Dian Wei was not in love with the battle. When the enemy realized that "there were only a few hundred people rushing out of Yangping Pass" and stopped running to organize a counterattack, Dian Wei immediately ran back. Anyway, the road ahead of Yangping Pass was not long, and it was about two arrows, so it was easy to run back.

Among the chaos, I don’t know which unit of the Xiliang army, the Sima or Qujunhou officer at the level of Qujunhou, shouted angrily: “Take the opportunity to grab Yangping Pass!”

Then, from the troops that originally planned to retreat, thousands of people were mobilized to rush under the walls with their thoughts.

Dian Wei was wearing iron armor and holding iron halberds. He looked very considerate of his soldiers. Because it took time for hundreds of people to return to the city, he personally stood the last one to let others enter the city gate first. This posture actually made the reckless people of the Xiliang soldiers even more excited. They rushed towards Dian Wei and the more than a hundred Han soldiers who were waiting for the city gate, hoping to wipe them out in one fell swoop and then rushed in.

Thirty crossbows that had been arranged on the wall last night opened fire again, and instantly knocked down a large number of Xiliang soldiers rushing in front. The others also suffocated instantly.

"This... this is the magic crossbow that shot Dong Zhonglang just now! Liu Bei is prepared! We are trapped!"

The frightened Xiliang soldiers tried their best to retreat, but the slow-responsive Qing was still rushing. But even the young men saw Dian Wei retreating into the city gate, they seemed to be able to cover up the killing gate.

However, when they really stepped into the city gate, they could still see a temporary inner city formed by a semicircular earth wall behind. There were crossbowmen and spearmen behind the inner earth wall, and it was not connected to the wall-up stairs of the outer city wall.

And even though the door is closed and open, a thousand-pound iron gate can fall from it, catching turtles in the jar that has entered the door.

The congestion and chaos at the door of the door once reached the point where the bus was crowded. Such a dense army was shot by crossbows, and they didn't even need to aim, just sweep it casually.

The killing efficiency was as if a bus was filled with people, and then he swept the car with a big pineapple. The thirty Zhuge crossbows were not swept for two minutes, and the Xiliang army completely collapsed.

Everyone retreated like a tide, leaving behind bloody corpses. The soldiers under Dong Yue could no longer have the courage to carry out any counterattack. The only thought left in their hearts was to escape.

...

In front of Xiguan Post, Fan Chou's aid troops were fighting with Zhang Fei, and the situation was also very unhappy. At the beginning, Fan Chou relied on his bravery to actually come to the front line to fight. He fought with Zhang Fei for seven or eight times in chaos, almost in danger.

After realizing that there was a gap between his martial arts and Zhang Fei, Fan Chou changed to retreat to supervise the battle, and despite his morale, he was depressed.

But in less than half an hour of such a battle, the backdrops continued to come from the northeast. After passing through Xiguan Post, more and more deserters went to the north. Because of the seized road, the number of soldiers who retreated north by Xiguan Post was squeezed out several times.

Fan Chou couldn't help but be furious, and repeatedly stopped the deserter, then grabbed an officer's collar and asked, "Didn't you follow Dong Zhonglang to retreat? Nai Weng is here to help you block the pursuers, and you are still here to steal Nai Weng's way? My soldiers were all squeezed into the river and drowned! Nai Weng chopped you up!"

The officer knelt down and begged for mercy: "General, it's not that we want to seize the road, it's that Dong Zhonglang was shot and killed by the enemy's magic crossbow. There are ambushers from the way we came! Our army suffered heavy casualties, and there were no idea when a large number of elite reinforcements came from Yangping Pass. We could still fight out of the wall to respond. Our army was in chaos!"

"What? Dong Yue is dead? His personal guards are dead too?" Fan Chou was stunned for a moment, and as he saw Zhang Fei still pressing forward, at most half a quarter of an hour, the three-way intersection of Xiguan Post was about to fall into Zhang Fei's hands.

Trying to block here, to stop the aid of the large army that had not had time to escape, should we run first?

Fan Chou was timid for the first time. Seeing Zhang Fei rushing like a crazy tiger, breaking through several fronts and approaching him again, Fan Chou chose to pivot the horse and ran away.
