Zhang Ren actually approved of such a move. He also knew very well that this was the reason why Hanzhong became the throat of Shuzhong.

However, this does not mean that Zhang Ren agreed with Liu Zhang to attack Hanzhong at this time.

After all, Yangping Pass is not that easy to defeat. It can be said to be quite difficult to break through Yangping Pass.

What Zhang Ren was worried about was that if his attack was blocked, the morale of the Yizhou army would be low.

When the time comes, facing the imperial army's crusade, it is very likely that you will be at a disadvantage instantly.

Even more seriously, if the imperial army suddenly attacks in advance during the attack on our side, then our own army will most likely be caught between the two armies.

Therefore, Zhang Ren did not want Liu Zhang to attack Zhang Lu at this time, but he could not stop Liu Zhang despite all his good words.

"Heber, it's too late to say anything now. My lord has made up his mind. No matter how hard you and I try to persuade him, it will be in vain."

"The current plan is to think of a way to break through Yangping Pass as soon as possible, enter Hanzhong, and solve the Hanzhong issue as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, I'm worried that the one in Luoyang City will react, and then it will be difficult for us." Zhang Ren looked at Yan Yan and said.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll let someone rush in and test the depth of the opponent." Yan Yan also knew Zhang Ren's difficulties, so he took the initiative to test it himself.

Zhang Ren nodded and agreed. Soon, under Yan Yan's arrangement, Yizhou Army General Wu Ban led 51,000 elite troops to press towards Yangping Pass in the distance.

When Zhang Wei saw the Yizhou Army taking the initiative to attack, he naturally arranged for his soldiers to go up the city wall and prepare to defend.

Since the Yizhou Army only sent more than 10,000 soldiers this time, and although Yangping Pass was 30 meters wide, there were not many people standing there, so he only sent 5,000 people to defend it.

After all, the defensive side has a geographical advantage and there is no need to send too many people up. Otherwise, it will easily cause a waste of personnel.

Zhang Wei led his men to Yangping Pass and immediately began to prepare for battle. When they were ready, Wu Ban also led them into the shooting range of the Hanzhong Army.

"Catalogue! Release!" Zhang Wei shouted, and a crossbow arrow as thick as a child's arm was launched instantly, plowing out a trail of blood among the Yizhou army in the blink of an eye.

However, the Yizhou Army did not panic at all when faced with such crossbows.

As the party attacking the city, they had long been prepared to pay casualties.

Moreover, warriors like them, who have fought many battles, have long been accustomed to such casualties.

Moreover, the siege battle is not the most terrifying and has the highest casualties at this time. Now it seems that the scene is very passive, but the casualties are very small, with only one or two hundred people coming and going.

The real casualties were when our side started to climb the city wall. At that time, it was the meat grinder.

Both sides kept sending people up to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and often the city walls would look as if they had been washed with blood throughout the whole day.

The giant crossbows at Yangping Pass had only fired one round, and the Yizhou Army entered their firing range.

Suddenly, countless arrows flew up from the Yizhou Army's formation and shot towards Yangping Pass.

Suddenly, the two sides began to shoot at each other with bows and arrows. The Yizhou army in the front row below, holding heavy shields and ladders, rushed towards Yangping Pass.

When the hook at the top of the ladder hooked the top of the city wall, these Yizhou troops began to climb.

At this time, the Hanzhong Army was not in a hurry to cut down the ladders. If they cut down the ladders at this time, there would be no way to cause too many casualties to the Yizhou Army below.

They wanted to wait for the Yizhou Army to climb to the top before destroying the ladder.

As a result, everyone on the ladder will fall down. When the time comes, these people will either die or be disabled.

As a group of veterans, they know very well what to do and when to reduce their own casualties while causing maximum damage to the other party.

The same goes for overturning a ladder. The same goes for pouring oil on fire.

The people below have not reached a certain density, so pouring kerosene on them is a waste.

Similarly, the Yizhou Army as the attacker is not in a hurry. They know that today is just a trial and there is no need to go all out.

For a moment, arrows flew randomly in Yangping Pass, but very few people actually died.

Looking at Yangping Pass where the defensive strength was still strong, Zhang Ren knew that this battle would not be easy. It was obvious that the people sent to Yangping Pass by Zhang Lu this time were still a group of elites.

For such a situation, even Zhang Ren didn't have a good solution. After all, everyone was familiar with each other. They had not fought ten times, but eight times. The other side knew what methods the two sides had.

Zhang Ren shook his head and could only ask people to withdraw first and prepare to besiege Yangping Pass for a long time.

Just when Zhang Ren and his men were having sex with Zhang Wei at Yangping Pass.

In Yongzhou, outside Chang'an City, Li Jichen and Jiang Yi stood side by side, with a thousand elite players in front of them.

Due to the special nature of the players, they have a teleportation array, so they don't have to think about the Han army and everyone rushes together.

After so many battles, they had long figured out a feasible method of deploying troops.

Select a group of the most elite players from among the many players, and let them create a tactical insertion, take some small roads, shortcuts, directly insert behind the enemy, and then activate the teleportation array.

In this case, players at the rear can instantly appear behind the enemy through the teleportation array.

In this way, not to mention a few players interspersing in this way, it will save a lot of materials and points than if all the players are dispatched.

In the old way of rushing, everyone would run together. When they ran out of energy, they would release a teleportation array and then wipe their necks to commit suicide.

After resurrecting, use the teleportation array to return to the front and continue on your way.

Such an approach, not to mention how much pressure it puts on logistics because players are constantly running around, if tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of players collectively wipe their necks once, that is tens of thousands of points.

But now, only a few players are used to advance, which consumes a lot less points.

At the same time, the speed is even faster. After all, the materials saved by so many players are enough for these professional forward players to greatly improve their own strength.

The higher their strength, the faster they will travel.

Another point is that when a small number of players move forward and a large number of players act together, the target is smaller and it is less likely to alert the enemy.

At this time, Li Jichen and Jiang Yi were preparing to send these players to infiltrate Hanzhong in Chang'an.

Li Jichen and the others had already thought about dividing these forward players into two.

Some players took the Chencang Trail and went straight to the west city of Hanzhong County, while the other part took a detour and went straight to Yangping Pass from Wuwei and Tianshui.

The army of players going to Yangping Pass will be the main force. They need to surround the Yizhou Army and Hanzhong Army near Yangping Pass to create enough time for the players passing through Chencang to easily capture Hanzhong County.
