The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 387

It has to be said that without the assistance of his advisors, Liu Bei's own abilities are actually not enough to deal with any big battles. In the past, he was beaten and fled like this.

Originally, the momentum of the joint operation of horns was easily broken, making Yangping Pass even more lacking in troops.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei and the three of them did not retreat immediately after discussing, but directly stationed at Yangping Pass, shouting and shouting.

Faced with this, Liu Beizhan was unable to fight, and was even more reluctant to retreat, so he could only stalemate here.

However, Liu Bei did not fail to act, and stepped up to send troops to the rear. After knowing that Liu Bei had lost the two phases, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng discussed for a while, but Zhuge Fazheng led the generals to help Liu Bei.

At this time, Wei Tao was also leading troops stationed at Yangping Pass.

"Liu Bei still can't shrink back?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, but at this time Wei Tao was no longer thinking about asking questions, but directly turned to prepare for a frontal attack.

"How about the catapult formation?"

"Your Majesty, since Na Yanyan returned to Yangping Pass, we have cut down materials to build siege equipment, but the trees here are sparse and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, so we have not built two until now. I have also tried to find another trail, but there are no residents nearby, and the terrain is dangerous, and several lives were lost, so it is impossible."

Hearing Lu Meng's report, Wei Tao felt helpless for a while. It is true that there are siege equipment in the rear, but it is not so simple to transport them here. In the name of attack, that is indeed the case.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, in order to break through such dangerous barriers, unless the guards rush forward, there are only two ways. One is to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and the other is to fill the gap with human life."

At this moment, Jiang Wei took a step forward and bowed his hands.

"Now Liu Bei's army has been counted twice. Not to mention the heavy damage, but its strength is also stretched. If your Majesty is hesitating, I am afraid that the strength of the troops will be replenished. But now, please order the storming of Yangping Pass."

To attack such a dangerous pass by force, there must be a lot of casualties.

However, Wei Tao is not Liu Bei. Although he would feel heartbroken for such a loss, he made up his mind after thinking about it for a while.

"Okay! First transport the two catapults to Guanxia, ​​first bombard for half an hour, and then launch an attack immediately. Let's see how long Liu Bei can last!"

When Wei Tao gave an order, he naturally executed it quickly. He first pulled the catapult to the front of the formation, and then summoned all the soldiers to prepare for a strong attack.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

The catapult was originally made simply, and it was damaged in less than half an hour when it was bombarded. Moreover, because of the height of Yangping Pass, it was impossible to throw huge boulders on it, and occasionally it could hit it, but it would not hurt anyone.

But this already marked the beginning of Wei Tao's general attack, and it was a head start. ,

As all the catapults were exhausted, Wei Tao didn't answer, so he directed everyone to launch an offensive. He directly set up the ladder and started to charge.

"Kill...kill..."

There were endless shouts of killing and screams, and Wei Tao's complexion was also bad. The loss of troops on both sides was almost one to five. This Yangping Pass is indeed a dangerous pass, and all kinds of defenses are available.

Wei Tao is not an ordinary person. Now that he has made up his mind, there is absolutely no such thing as a woman's benevolence. No matter how much troops are spent, he still stops ordering people to attack the city.

After three days in a row, many soldiers under Wei Tao's command were killed or injured. 0
If it weren't for the fact that the two consecutive strategies had already consumed a lot of the opponent's strength, at this time, even if the strength is strong, it may be inevitable that they will not be able to hold on.

However, it was Liu Bei who couldn't hold on at this time. After seeing that Fazheng was too late to reach Yangping Pass, Liu Bei was also helpless, and finally had no choice but to withdraw his troops from Yangping Pass.

As soon as Liu Bei retreated, Wei Tao naturally entered, directly forcing Liu Bei to the city of Hanzhong.

Just at this time, the people led by Fazheng also caught up, and it was raining in Hanzhong City, and Wei Tao confronted him.

"Damn Wei Tao!"

After suffering consecutive losses, it also made Liu Bei's temper a little more impatient. No matter what, Liu Bei can be regarded as a hero, so he naturally understands the key to this.

Although Cao Cao still respects the emperor today, in fact the emperor Liu Xie has no rights.

If Xishu is lost, then there will be no hope for the Liu family, not to mention that Liu Bei has been wandering for half his life and has such a territory. How can Liu Bei be willing to lose it?

Concern is chaos, even if Liu Bei is indeed a hero of the first generation, he will inevitably be a little abnormal when facing such a situation.

"What should I do now? If there is a loss in Hanzhong, then there will be danger in Shuzhong. If we just stick to it, with that Wei Tao's strength, is it possible to be an enemy? Wouldn't it be better to retreat every step of the way? Did he succeed? If so, we will all sit and wait for death, or surrender to the evil!"

When he said this, Liu Bei's tiger eyes swept across, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Liu Bei is naturally kind and kind on weekdays, but after all, Liu Bei was also killed from a sea of ​​corpses and blood. It is not that simple to lay a foundation with nothing.

"My lord, although the matter is urgent now, it is not in danger. Please don't mess yourself up, lord."

Seeing this, Fazheng came out immediately and saluted Liu Bei.

"Although Yangping Pass is also dangerous, there are still many soldiers stationed there. How can it compare to the great city of Hanzhong? Moreover, all the generals beside the lord have arrived, let alone Yangping Pass. But I know that the lord is worried. But now When the two countries are fighting, they should do everything they can! I have a plan, please listen to it."

"What's Xiao Zhi's plan, and come quickly."

After all, Liu Bei is a hero of the first generation. Although he lost his composure just now, he has recovered at this time and asked immediately.

"My lord, this time Wei Tao can be said to be a personal conquest, and he has the reputation of being invincible, so the soldiers and generals under his command are naturally encouraged. It is difficult for him to compete with him! But this also gives the lord a chance. If Wei Tao can be beheaded here, then before his son grows up, the country will be in chaos, and the lord will come out in one fell swoop, and there is hope to help the big man."

Fazheng no longer hides it, but directly talks about it.

"The lord should also remember that Wei Tao's bravery, even if he is the lord of the dynasty, he will not change. If this is the case, why can't the lord send generals to fight with him and kill him?"

"Xiaozhi should know that Wei Tao is the number one military general in the world. Even if the second and third younger brothers fight alone, they are not his opponents. If they attack together, Wei Tao has many generals under his command, and it is difficult to fight against him!"

Although Liu Bei was a little unwilling, he still said.

"My lord, I have heard for a long time that General Huang Zhong has a good shot. My lord can send the second or third general to wrap Wei Tao tightly, and then let General Huang Zhong shoot him with a hidden arrow. Don't you hear that the earthen jar is hard to leave?" If the well is broken, the general will inevitably perish in battle? As long as Wei Tao dies, his army will be destroyed without a fight, and then the lord will recruit him as the king of Hanzhong. He is a man of mine, how can he be disobedient? Summoning? In the blink of an eye, the Lord will have tens of thousands of troops, and if he leads the army and captures the city all the way, great things will come to an end!"

Hearing what he said, Liu Bei immediately beamed with joy.

However, Liu Bei also saw that after hearing Fazheng's words, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong all changed their colors suddenly, and their expressions were extremely ugly.

Liu Bei thought about it for a while and immediately understood that although this is the law, for military commanders, he would rather die than do it. No wonder Fa Zhenghui said 'use everything to the extreme'.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong all had undue bravery. These people with extraordinary force naturally also had their arrogance. Even if they joined forces to attack Wei Tao, they would not be willing to attack Wei Tao. How could they be willing to sneak attack easily?

Even if Huang Zhong has the ability to pierce Yang with a hundred steps, it is more because bows and arrows are the skills that generals must practice. Whenever Huang Zhong shoots people with bows and arrows, he will remind him first, let alone sneak attack, let alone let others cooperate to stalk the enemy. .

It can be said that if one line is like this, the reputations of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong will be ruined, which is a great shame for generals.

Even if Liu Bei is his lord, it is impossible to forcibly violate his will.

"Ah... the world is in chaos, the majesty of the Han Dynasty has been swept away, although Bei is running hard, but in the end he can only linger in the middle of Shu, when will my great Han country recover..."

But Liu Bei suddenly sighed and looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong with tears in his eyes.

"I know that doing things like this will hinder the character of my second brother, third brother, and Han Sheng, but only by doing so can I restore my glory as a great man. I hereby ask for your help!"

Liu Bei stood up and bowed down to the three of them.

"Why do you have to do this, big brother?"

"Brother! No!"

"My lord! Don't do this!"

Seeing Liu Bei like this, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong were all shocked and got up quickly.

"If you can restore my Han family's rivers and mountains, even if I have to pay for my life, why not?"

But when he saw this, Liu Bei cried out again. Seeing this, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong are all people who value loyalty. How can they let their own army be like this?
"Brother, don't say too much, then Wei Tao will leave it to me, Lao Zhang, and he will definitely not let him get away."

Zhang Fei spoke directly, and seeing Zhang Fei speak, Guan Yu followed suit.

"That's right, brother, I'll be watching from the sidelines, even if Wei Tao can handle the third brother's attack, he has to divert his attention to me.

Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said the same thing, and it was impossible for the remaining Huang Zhong not to express his opinion. He hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke.

"Being loyal to meet the lord is a lifelong blessing. In order to repay the lord's great favor, I am willing to give it a try. Please rest assured, the lord!"

Thanks to Liu Bei's kindness, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong are finally willing to give up their reputations and fight for Liu Bei!
