Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2615 Breaking the Yangping Pass
Chapter 2611: Breaking through Yangping Pass
The prefect of Hanzhong was Liu Yu's younger brother Liu Zhang, and the unfortunate one who was seized by Liu Bei from Yizhou.

Facts have proved that Liu Zhang is not incompetent, he handles all the tasks assigned to him by Liu Yu very well, but when he is placed in a position beyond his ability, his lack of ability and weak personality will be revealed. .

Liu Yu also knew very well Liu Zhang, his younger brother. He could not be a prefect of a state, but he still had the ability to govern a county, so he appointed Liu Zhang as the prefect of Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is the northern gateway of Shu Han, and it needs a prefect with a high enough status to stabilize the military and people's hearts, and Liu Zhang as Liu Yu's younger brother is just right.

However, Liu Zhang's government affairs are okay, but military affairs are not good, so Liu Yu did not give him any military power, and was only responsible for handling the government affairs of Hanzhong County.

After Liu Zhang took office, he was still diligent in politics. He had Liu Yu as his backing, and Liu Er and Zhang Ren were in full charge of military affairs. Therefore, Hanzhong County had always been extremely stable, and there were no major disturbances until the prefect's residence. The seismograph issued a warning.

"What? The copper pellets on the seismograph fell?"

After hearing the news, Liu Zhang's eyes widened and he jumped up in fright. The first reaction in his heart was not the earthquake, but the reason of the Pengzi Army. After all, where did so many earthquakes come from, it was the Pengzi Army more likely.

However, Nanzheng is located in the hinterland of Hanzhong, and Yangpingguan and Xicheng are also in good condition. How did the enemy's Pengzi army bypass the two places and suddenly dig under Nanzheng City?

Could it be that they dug through Yangping Pass or Xicheng?

Impossible, if Qin Jun and Zijun really dig through these two places, the seismograph in the city will definitely give a warning.

It's not just Liu Zhang who doesn't understand this, everyone in the prefect's mansion is also puzzled, but they don't think about Qin Jun's bypassing Xicheng on the way to excavation, and the reason is very simple, the amount of work is too large .

Qin Shu started the war only a month ago, no matter how hard they dig, it is impossible to complete such a large amount of work.

Liu Zhang's brain was unable to think normally, and although Yanpu, the county governor of Hanzhong didn't know the reason, he knew the seriousness of the problem and quickly asked, "Which direction did the copper pellet fall?"

"That, Lord Prefect, Lord Juncheng, more than one copper pellet fell from the seismograph, and the copper pellets in the three directions of the southeast and north all fell."

"Falling in all three directions?"

Liu Zhang and Yan Pu exclaimed at the same time, and both fell into deep thought.

Although Liu Zhang's character is cowardly, he is not a fool.

If the copper pellets fell in one direction, it might have been caused by an earthquake or by the Pike Army.

But if it falls in all three directions, there is only one possibility, that is, the seismograph is broken.

After all, earthquakes occurred in three directions at the same time, or there were pegs in three directions.

Even if the Qin army sneaked into Hanzhong through unknown means, and sneaked all the way to the outside of Nanzheng City, the number of people would not be too large, and the food and grass would definitely be limited. Excavation may be carried out in three directions.

So, the biggest possibility is that the seismometer is broken.

"Hey, what should I do? It turns out that the seismograph has been damaged for a long time. If the machine is broken, let the craftsman repair it."

Liu Zhang rolled his hands with a look of disapproval, then yawned and prepared to go back to sleep.

Although Yan Pu was still frowning, he couldn't think of any other possibility besides the broken seismograph, but just in case, he decided to take the craftsman to repair it in person.

The 3.0 version of the seismometer has a complex internal structure, and not any craftsman can repair it well.

Yan Pu brought five master craftsmen and repaired it for a full two hours, but came to the conclusion that the seismograph was intact and there was no damage.

Since the seismograph has not been damaged due to disrepair, the tremors detected before are real.

As soon as this conclusion came out, Yan Pu broke out in a cold sweat. After all, it is impossible for earthquakes to occur in all three directions, so there is only one possibility left.

At this moment, three crisp voices sounded.

Boom, boom, boom...

The copper pellets in the mouth of the toad in the three directions of the seismograph fell again.

This time Yan Pu didn't have any luck in his mind, regardless of March 21 and [-], he directly passed the prefect Liu Zhang and issued a martial law order to the whole city. After all, there was nothing wrong with being cautious during the war, but it was obviously too late.

Tuxing Sun Mingming could dig into Nanzheng City in one night, but when he knew that there was insufficient food and grass, he spent three days digging in three directions. What he did was to mislead Liu Zhang and Yan Pu in order to win these two hours. golden hour.

Since Liu Zhang and Yan Pu have been fooled, it is not so easy to think about breaking the game.

[Ding Dong, the effect 3 of Tu Xingsun's skill 'Soil Spirit' is activated, when leading the peg army to participate in the battle, the entire force of the peg army increases by 1, and the excavation efficiency is increased by [-]% during the excavation operation.

Tu Xingsun's basic force is 105, mixed iron stick +1, stick god +4, and the current force is increased to 110;

Dragon Beard Tiger base strength is 105 (+1), Dragon and Tiger Double Hammer +1, Hammer God +4, and the current strength increases to 110;

Li Maozhen's basic force is 102 (+1), Qi Wang's spear +1, the spear god +4, and the current force has risen to 107;

...]

In addition to Li Siyuan's [-] troops, the Shu army had [-] troops in Hanzhong, of which [-] were in Yangping Pass, and another [-] were stationed in the whole of Hanzhong. Among them, Nanzheng alone had [-] defenders. .

The [-] troops in Nanzheng City were stationed in the barracks of the three cities, east, west, and north, and these three places had grain depots, armoury depots, and material depots.

Tu Xingsun's goal this time was only the grain depot, but in order to prevent the Shu troops from the two battalions from reinforcing the North Camp, he must also create chaos in the two major urban areas of the east and west, and attract the attention of the defenders, unable to be distracted. Others, so the burning of grain in the north of the city will be easier.

After the Yanpu martial law order was issued, he was going to find someone with a talent for listening to determine the location of the Zhezi Army who were really excavating, but before anyone arrived, the east and west of the city fell into turmoil.

Li Maozhen and Long Xuhu led people and set fire to all directions along the barracks area, while setting up roadblocks in the streets.

The Shu army out of the camp was blocked by fire and roadblocks. The flames must be extinguished and the roadblocks cleared before reinforcements to the north of the city.

But just when they were putting out the fire and clearing the obstacles, the scorpion army who had sneaked into the city continued to destroy it, and it was about to attack the armory and the material warehouse. Warehouses and material warehouses, do not give the attackers any opportunity to take advantage.

At the same time when the chaos broke out in the east and west districts, the [-]-sword army of Tu Xingsun's army dug directly to the vicinity of the grain depot according to the map.

Since the turmoil broke out in the east and west of the city, it also aroused the vigilance of the Shu army in Beicheng, but Tu Xingsun and others came from the ground.

In addition to the camp in the north of the city, there were [-] defenders in the grain depot, but there were no strong generals. In addition, they were caught by surprise, so they were defeated by the army of [-] pegs, and Tu Xingsun was defeated. The raid was very easy to be attacked into the grain depot by the Pike Army.

Looking at the grain depots in front of him, Tu Xingsun was overjoyed in his heart, and the corner of his mouth even showed a ferocious look, he raised his stick and shouted: "Set fire."

"promise."

The two thousand pegs roared angrily, and immediately divided into two under the command of Tu Xingsun.

Tu Xingsun led 500 soldiers and was responsible for killing and expelling the defenders in the grain depots, while the remaining [-] people were responsible for setting fires. With the cooperation of each other, all major grain depots were destroyed in less than an hour. ignite.

"withdraw."

Tu Xingsun kept in mind Li Maozhen's exhortation, and did not want to fight at all. With the fire in the grain depot, he immediately led the army to retreat from the tunnel.

Liu Wei, the commander of the northern battalion of the Shu Army, naturally would not let Tu Xingsun go, so he led people to hunt down Tu Xingsun, but he finally found a way to retreat, but he was blocked by Tu Xingsun. It's not that easy.

Seeing that Tu Xingsun's trace was lost, Liu Yan could only take it to put out the fire first, trying to save as little as possible.

As for Li Maozhen in the east of the city, and Long Xuhu in the west of the city, they were fighting in the streets with the tens of thousands of Shu troops. Seeing that the fire in the north of the city had started, they knew that Tu Xingsun had succeeded, and they did not bother too much. They also escaped from Nanzheng through the tunnel.

After the three parties arrived at the broken temple, they simply counted the number of people, and found that there were only 500 people left, and nearly half of the soldiers died in the city.

In this regard, the three generals of Tu Xing and Sun fell silent. Although they were a little unacceptable in their hearts, they all knew that this was the best result. After all, they had just fought against the [-] Shu army with [-] pegs and could escape back. Half the manpower is already pretty good.

The task of burning the Xinzheng grain depot has been completed. Next, the Shu army will definitely turn Hanzhong upside down and search for traces of Tu Xingsun and others throughout the county.

The broken temple is too close to Xinzheng, and it will definitely be found by the Shu army soon, so Tu Xingsun and others must move immediately.

Taking advantage of the darkness and the fact that the Shu army had not yet left the city, Tu Xingsun, Li Maozhen and others headed east with the remaining [-] pegs.

The grain and grass stored in the Xinzheng grain depot is as much as one million stone, and naturally it cannot be burned in a short time.

Not long after the fire in the grain depot started, Yanpu mobilized all the manpower to put it out, but the fire was so big that it could not be put out by manpower.

The fire light illuminated the whole sky above Nanzheng, even if it is dozens of miles away from Yangpingguan, you can see this reddish night sky.

Zhang Ren, who had been tired all day, just fell asleep when he was woken up by the soldiers and went to the tower, took the telescopic mirror in his hands, and looked south, his face suddenly turned pale.

"what happened?"

Liu Er and Kong Peng also rushed over, and both of them were still at a loss.

Shen Shiqi said with a bitter expression, "Something happened to Nanzheng."

Liu Er and Kong Peng's expressions suddenly changed.

Through the preliminary judgment of the fire, it must have been an accident in Nanzheng, but no one knows what happened, and everything can only be investigated after dawn.

As a result, before dawn, a biography of flying pigeons came from Nanzheng, telling Zhang Ren and other generals what happened to Nanzheng.

Daqin's Zhuzi Army did not know what method they used, bypassing Yangping Pass or Xicheng, sneaking all the way to the outside of Nanzheng City, and digging into the city and burning the grain depot.

The fire continued to burn until dawn without explanation. Liu Zhang and Yan Pu are still organizing firefighting, but only God knows how much food and grass can be rescued.

At the same time, Liu Zhang was still in the entire Hanzhong area, hunting down the traces of the Daqin Zhezi Army, but he has not yet found it.

After Zhang Ren and other generals of Shu and Han discussed the state, they decided to adopt the plan of reviewing and feeding them, and asked Liu Zhang and Yan Pu to forcibly seize the rations from the people of Hanzhong counties and distribute them uniformly.

But for the 11 Shu army in Hanzhong, the folk bulk food is simply a drop in the bucket, and obviously it won't last long.

However, Shen Shiqi obviously can't take care of so much anymore. How long can he hold on now.

In addition, based on the information given by Liu Zhang, Shen Shi analyzed that the Daqin Zhezi Army should have come from Xicheng.

After all, it is impossible for thousands of scorpion troops, so many people, to pass through Yangping Pass under the eyes of tens of thousands of Shu troops.

Therefore, Shen Shiqi sent a summons to Liu Zhang, and asked him to concentrate his manpower to search the direction of Xicheng.

Liu Zhang, according to Shen Shiqi's account, sent additional personnel to the Xicheng direction at the same time as the civilians were forcibly collecting grain.

Scrutiny and his guess were right at all. The manpower sent by Liu Zhang really found the traces of the Pengzi Army, but it was still a step late. Tu Xingsun and others had already escaped from Hanzhong and destroyed the tunnel.

At the same time, after receiving the summons from Tu Xingsun, Li Jing was also preparing to give the final blow to Yangping Pass.
