"Pfft!"

The knife fell and his neck was split in two by the sharp blade.

The head was immediately rushed out by the splash of arterial blood, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.

Then Cao Hong's body, which was leaning forward, fell softly and hit the ground with a bang, causing dust to fly everywhere.

The blood from the crack in the neck suddenly flowed into the soil and spread outward, converging into a stream, blending into the mountain mud itself that was already moist due to rain, infecting the earth.

Shen Chen still maintained the beheading posture, just like when he beheaded Cao Ren, the hot blood also splattered on his body, and he was covered in blood.

This is the smell of the enemy's blood.

"The enemy general is beheaded!"

Because Shan Yi was wounded and bandaged, only his disciple Wu Dang was around.

"Zhang Fei from Yan is here, who dares to fight to the death with me?"

Because of the four roads from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, Chencang Road is the Kangzhuang Road, followed by Baoxie Road. As for the Tangluo Road and Ziwu Road, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are extremely steep for pedestrians. At most, only a few people and horses can pass through, and the food, grass and baggage cannot be carried at all. make life difficult for.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Yan immediately gathered up the scattered soldiers and transferred all the surviving soldiers from the mountains in the east and central part to the west camp. At the same time, he stepped up repairs to the camp, stocked up on bows, crossbows and other arrows, and also moved the 20,000 troops left behind. And all the troops from Kunyang were mobilized.

"What's the matter?"

However, Zhao Yan, Deng Zhan, Jia Xin and others were still very tightly defended, and the Western Camp was not flooded like the Dongying and the Central Camp, and could not be captured in a short time.

Jiang Ji said: "If this is the case, why doesn't the King of Wei send people south from Wuguan to support General Cao? Although Sun Quan has formed an alliance with the King of Wei, this person will never give up when he only has Jingzhou. He might as well annex Nanyang for him. , in order to prevent this, we should be more careful.”

The main reason Liu Bei suffered was that most of his men were rabble-rousers.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei are still in a confrontation.

The scouts from the front line just came to report that Xia Houyuan and Zhang He fulfilled their mission and killed Liu Bei's senior general Wu Lan, annihilated Liu Bei's army, and Zhang Fei fled in embarrassment.

The two sides began to stalemate again, and Shen Chen was not in a hurry. He was waiting for news about Zhang Xiu. Just like in history, Lu Meng asked the families of Guan Yu soldiers on the front line to write letters home. As long as the family letters of the soldiers' families were sent to the front line, Zhao Yan could still do it. what to do.

"Hahahahaha."

Xia Houyuan snorted coldly and said: "Zhang Fei must be trying to trick the enemy. Don't pay attention and attack directly."

Although there are many people on Mumen Road, the most dangerous place is Mumen Valley. As long as Mumen Valley is captured, it will be easier to walk later and it will not be easy to be ambushed, so it is obviously more preferable to attack Mumen Road.

Suddenly, Cao's troops from behind swarmed up, howling like wild wolves, and charged towards Zhang Fei's camp.

North of Chiting, Cao Cao was riding on a hill and looking into the distance. It was the end of May, and the mountains were green and lush. There were many mountains in the south, and a big mountain towered into the clouds.

However, Xia Houyuan and Zhang He were not in a hurry. After the tentative attack, they began to press forward step by step, storming the camp every day, which put great pressure on Zhang Fei and Wu Lan's defense, and they had to send people back to defend themselves for help.

The battle started in the afternoon and continued into the evening.

After Cao Cao learned the news, he immediately pursued and divided his troops into separate groups. They took the Tietang Gorge Road, Mumen Road, Yangxi Road, Hanxia Road, Longmen Path, Luogu Path and other small roads directly to Wu Street.

As he spoke, Cao Cao paused, raised his wine glass, and said loudly: "My lords, come and drink. When the day comes when Jingyi is recovered and the world is peaceful and peaceful, you should share your wealth and honor with your lords and enjoy the peace of the world!"

In the canyon, the Choni River flows from north to south into the West Han River. There is only a narrow path that can pass through it. There is a rift valley about thirty feet wide in the middle. This valley is the Mumen Valley. There is a general who guards the pass and ten thousand people. Mo Kai's spirit.

After receiving this news, Cao Cao laughed loudly, looked around, and said to his advisers: "Although no battle reports have arrived in Jingzhou yet, I expect that Sun Quan will have already sent troops. But before he takes Jingzhou, I am afraid that he will have to take Hanzhong first. Already."

Huan Jie, the attendant next to him, asked curiously: "King Wei, although the Mumen Road is spacious, it is said that the Mumen Valley where Zhang Fei and Wu Lan are stationed is extremely dangerous. Why do you want to attack the Mumen Road?"

"I am laughing at Chen Chen's incompetence!"

Historically, Zhang He died here.

Therefore, Cao Cao no longer needs to worry about the safety of Guanzhong in the rear and attacks Hanzhong wholeheartedly. Judging from the current situation, Liu Beijun seems to be no match for him at all and will definitely defeat him in one fell swoop.

Huan Jie was lifted up and suddenly realized.

However, Zhang Fei and Wu Lan only had more than 4,000 people, and their defensive strength was seriously insufficient. In the end, Liu Bei's army was exhausted and finally broke through the camp at the end of May.

"No wonder Liu Bei wanted to deploy elite troops at Mumen Road."

In particular, Liu Bei also suffered another disadvantage, that is, the transportation of food and grass was far away, and the number of soldiers was far smaller than that of Cao's army. After fighting for more than half a year, the supply of food and grass was already somewhat insufficient, which made Liu Bei exhausted mentally and physically.

His smile was bright and he was extremely happy.

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "You don't understand. Since the rest of the trails are all sheep's intestine roads, it means that every section of the road behind is very dangerous. What if Liu Bei just set up suspicious soldiers and made us think that there were only a few hundred people in the ambush and attacked by force?" After the attack is over and the main force of the army has entered those trails, it may be difficult for him to set up an ambush in the rear."

The sky was obviously too dark to be conducive to fighting, so when night fell at the end of the day, the Nanyang Army had no choice but to withdraw its troops and retreat to the headquarters camp.

Although there are not many people on other trails, the entire trail is difficult and dangerous.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank, and the banquet was filled with laughter and joy.

In addition, Sun Quan himself led an army to surround Xunyang, and the whole Jingzhou changed overnight.

"oh?"

Now if Cao Cao decides that Guan Yu has to destroy the Chiya Plank Road, Baozhong will be safe, but Cao Cao can gather the main force and storm Yangping Pass.

And it's getting dark too.

In this case, he had to retreat to Xiabian to rest and recuperate.

"Forehead"

When Wu Dang saw this, he raised the knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Order Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He to lead the army to attack Mumen Road."

Sun Quan officially launched his army in early June. Sun Jiao quickly captured the five counties in Jingnan, and then marched to Jiangling. There were not many defenders in Jiangling, and he was soon captured by Sun Jiao. He then divided more than 10,000 troops to station in Yidao to prevent Liu Bei's reinforcements, and another part of the army. Then take Xiakou directly.

At this moment, a messenger suddenly rushed in from outside and said anxiously: "Report!"

Cao Cao asked again.

"Thank you, King Wei."

Fortunately, the camp was well-built and the defenses were complete. Although Cao Jun attacked fiercely, he finally repelled the attack with a few bows and crossbows.

"Zhang Fei from Yan is here, who dares to fight to the death with me?"

Cao Cao suddenly laughed.

"I see."

In the subsequent fierce attacks by Cao Cao, the Qiang and Di people, who had low combat effectiveness, were the first to bear the brunt. Cao Cao's former generals Zhang He, Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhang and others broke through several camps and lost troops and generals. Ren Kui was killed, and he was supported and imprisoned.

Waiting for three mid-level generals.

Thousands of soldiers were almost lost. Wu Lan was beheaded by Xia Houyuan. Only Zhang Fei and a few other cavalry escaped back to Xiabian. Cao Cao won the battle.

Once Xia Bian is defeated, Yangping Pass will be reached. Once Yangping Pass is defeated, Hanzhong will be obtained. By then, Liu Bei will lose Jingzhou and Hanzhong. Let’s see how long he can continue to be rampant.

at the same time.

"Zhang Fei from Yan is here, who dares to fight to the death with me?"

"attack!"

Yang Fu hesitated and said: "The Lianyun Road is not easy to walk. The name is Chiya, which is more than a hundred miles north of Jigu. Chiya is almost all mountain cliffs, connected by plank roads. Although Guan Yu is at Xieyuguan at this time,

If Liu Bei knew that Mumen Road had been lost, he would order Guan Yu to retreat to Jigu. If he burned the plank road, I am afraid that "

Zhang He gave an order, and the horns and drums behind him were beating.

After the rain subsided, the water level of the flood gradually decreased. After all, the rainfall in the past few days was only enough to raise the ground to a depth of one or two feet.

Since last November, Cao Cao's troops arrived in Guanzhong and captured Xiliang, and now the confrontation in Qishan has lasted eight months. The two sides have been fighting for half a year in the Lucheng area alone.

Zhang Fei came out of the camp first. Although he was fifty-four years old, with gray hair on his temples and was getting older day by day, he still roared like thunder: "Zhang Fei from Yan is here, who dares to fight to the death with me?"

"What if we divide our troops into two groups, one from Yangping Pass and the other from Lianyun Road to Baoxie Road?"

The valley was not big, and was extremely empty. There were high mountains on both sides, and with the blessing of Zhang Fei's own lion roaring skill, there was an endless echo, which made the ears of Cao Jun's soldiers buzz.

"Wan Sheng!"

The Mumen Road is located deep in the Qi Mountains. The ancient road faces majestic mountains on the east and west sides, with thousands of walls and a line of empty valleys. It looks like a natural portal. There is a branch of the Qi Mountain on the east side of the road, which is called Wangjialiang Mountain in later generations. There is also a branch of Qi Mountain on the west side, which is called Xuan in later generations.

Hat beam.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "He had already sent out troops in September last year, and Chen Du had internal support to help him. However, he was blocked by Zi Lian in Taiting for nearly a year. Last month, Sun Quan sent a letter saying that Shen Chen and Zi Lian were in trouble.

There was a fierce struggle, and he planned to send troops immediately, but it was hard to predict at this time, because the rear was attacked, and had already been attacked from both sides by Zilian and Sun Quan, and was defeated."

For a time, the entire Jingzhou was in turmoil, but Shen Chen did not know the situation at the rear and was still attacking Cao Jun on the front line.

He looked around and looked at the ministers in the audience. He couldn't help but feel very happy. He laughed and said: "Since I raised the army, I have defeated the bandits, destroyed the heroes, and eliminated the evil. I vowed to sweep the four seas and level the world. Those who have not yet been conquered will be killed."

Only the Jing Jing Yi raised his ears, and now there are millions of lions, and it depends on the efforts of all the princes. Why worry that Liu Bei will not be destroyed and his great achievements will not be accomplished?"

"I only laugh at Jia Xu's lack of plans, but the law is correct and I have little wisdom. They say that the road to Shu is difficult, but it's not because I defeated it. If Liu Bei wants to burn the plank road, wouldn't it be better? If there is one less way to enter the pass, there will be less threats.

"

If the floods hadn't made the land muddy and prevented the siege equipment from coming over, maybe Shen Chen would have captured Cao Jun in Henan today.

Then Su Fei, who was sent by Huang She before, and Chen Sheng, 16,000 men, were deceived by Sun Quan. They went east from the Yangtze River and entered the Wan River from Wankou to the north. When they arrived at Wan County, they were attacked by Sun Quan and Zhang Liao's army.

Trapped in the city of Wan County.

"Wan Sheng!"
