The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 396 Liu Bei's Desperate Counterattack
"Boom boom boom..."

Following Wei Tao's order, the attack became more violent. Even when night fell, there were still many falling rocks that forcibly fell on the pass.

Attacking day and night, especially with trebuchets constantly throwing boulders, even if the pass is strong, how long can it last?
Even Liu Bei himself has no bottom in his heart at this time, or he already understands it in his heart.

The success or failure of the two sides is actually doomed. With Liu Bei's strength, it is impossible to stop Wei Tao all the time.

"Kong Ming, is there no other way now?"

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang beside him, hesitated for a moment, and asked again.

"Could it be that I, Liu Bei, have been a soldier all my life, but in the end I have nowhere to go?"

Zhuge Liang next to him was also pale, and his hair on the temples was already pale. It was obvious that he had spent a lot of effort these days.

But even so, after hearing Liu Bei's question, Zhuge Liang still couldn't help frowning tightly, and finally opened his mouth slowly after a while.

"My lord, forgive me. In the past, I compared myself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, but now I know that it is not as good as it is! Now that our army is so short of strength, as long as Wei Tao's offensive does not change, he will be able to force our army to death step by step. If there is no one , I am afraid that one will die in the end."

"Fight? How does Kong Ming think our army can fight? It is impossible to defeat Wei Tao in a frontal fight. However, Wei Tao became more and more cautious when he ambushed at night, and almost put the patrol guards in prison." .”

Liu Bei was also supporting his sick body at this time, and when he said this, he showed a slight sense of ridicule, not to Zhuge Liang, but to himself.

"Thinking that I, Liu Bei, spent my entire life as a soldier, fighting everywhere to restore the strength of the great man. I thought that one day I would be able to restore the great man's rivers and mountains, and help the great man to reproduce the saying 'Those who offend me will be punished even though they are far away'. I didn't expect it to be like this in the end, or The second and third brothers have been implicated. Now if Kong Ming has a plan, please speak up. At this time, am I still afraid that some dangerous scheme will fail?"

"My lord..."

When Zhuge Liang heard what Liu Bei said, a feeling of grief and indignation welled up in his heart, but after all, Zhuge Liang was Zhuge Liang, and soon suppressed this emotion again, and said to Liu Bei seriously.

"My lord's idea is not bad. Now that the matter has come to this point, I have no choice but to put all my eggs in one basket. If this is done, I will be able to save my manhood. If not, then I will die with my lord!"

"If Kong Ming has something to say, just come."

Liu Bei nodded slightly when he heard the words, even though Zhuge Liang had already uttered ominous words, his mind could not be shaken.

"The lord also knows that there is actually a mountain road to pass behind the Wakou Pass. For this reason, I deployed heavy troops to prevent attacking our army's rear. It's just that Wei Tao was cautious, and obviously did not do so."

Knowing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, Zhuge Liang didn't hide any more, and said right away.

"Since Wei Tao can use it, our army can also use it."

"Kong Ming meant our army made a surprise attack? Then Wei Tao was cautious, how could he not be on guard?"

Liu Bei moved slightly, and then stopped again. At this time, Liu Bei's mind was very clear, and he immediately saw what was wrong.

"No, my lord, I mean more than that. That Wei Tao faked his death twice successively, both of which have achieved results. In this case, why don't our army follow suit? First, the lord feigned death and surrendered. If Wei Tao entered the pass lightly , then shoot him immediately. If Wei Tao remains unmoved, then please let the lord give up this pass."

Zhuge Liang said slowly, there was a faint brilliance in his eyes.

"As long as we first take advantage of the mountain road to hide beside Wei Tao's army, and then take advantage of this time when he enters the pass, we can attack from the back and destroy his army in one fell swoop, so we can get his surprise! However, is this move possible? Liang really doesn't know how useful it will be, the only thing is to be able to die with the lord in person!"

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei was just silent.

Maybe with Zhuge Liang being so loyal, Liu Bei could say something more. After a moment of silence, he suddenly got up and said.

"In this way, follow Kong Ming's line! Or even go one step further..."

With this determination, Liu Bei went to the top of the city to make his soldiers more brave to defend against the enemy, and then selected strong and loyal soldiers from them, and quietly ordered them to go to the mountain road to detour after Wei Tao.

Wei Tao naturally didn't know about Liu Bei's actions, but Wei Tao could feel that the defense on the city wall was getting weaker and weaker.

Under such circumstances, Wei Tao naturally stepped up his offensive, and the offensive became more and more violent.

Just when the siege of the city was in a hurry, Jiang Wei suddenly reported with joy on his face.

"Report! A white flag hangs above the city wall, saying that Liu Bei died suddenly, and they are surrendering!"

"what!"

Wei Tao was surprised at first, then delighted, and then asked about it.

"Is this true?"

"That's true. I have already slowed down the offensive and at the same time ordered the guards to open and close the door. Now I am sending people to check. I think there will be no difference."

Jiang Wei replied in the affirmative.

Hearing Jiang Wei's response, Wei Tao was in a trance for a while. Liu Bei is also a hero of the world, so he just went away without a sound?

This made Wei Tao feel unreal.

"Take me to have a look!"

Wei Tao was eager to go to the city to take a look, but Jiang Wei was slightly startled, and immediately stopped Wei Tao from moving.

"Your Majesty can't. After all, this is the first time to take the pass. It is impossible for Liu Bei to have one or two loyal people. How can Your Majesty go to the dangerous place? It is better to send people into the pass to investigate first!"

Wei Tao was not afraid of any danger at first, but Wei Tao would not rush to danger just because of his so-called loyalty when he knew the danger.

So after hesitating for a while, Wei Tao nodded slightly to acknowledge the matter, even when it was reported that the deceased was indeed Liu Bei, Wei Tao did not move.

Therefore, although Liu Bei's soldiers ambushing in the city also killed many soldiers under Wei Tao's command, they were still easily killed.

Hearing and listening to the report, Wei Tao's heart was relieved, and the Wakou was closed, and Chengdu is just around the corner.

With a clear mind, Wei Tao couldn't help but order directly.

"Send an order to quickly wipe out the bandits in Wakou Pass. After Wakou Pass is pacified, I will immediately send troops down to pacify Xichuan!"

"promise!"

Following Wei Tao's order, everyone quickly entered the city.

As a result, the protection around Wei Tao's body became much weaker unconsciously. Although Wei Tao said he noticed this, he didn't care at all.

After all, his personal guards are still there, and at this moment, Wei Tao doesn't think anyone can threaten him.

"After I seize Xichuan, I will return to the army..."

"Kill..."

Just when Wei Tao thought of this, bursts of shouts of killing came from behind him. Looking back, he saw a large number of Shuzhong soldiers rushing to kill.

"how is this possible!"

Wei Tao was shocked immediately, not because he was surprised that someone was killed from behind him, but because even Liu Bei died, so why did the Shu army still kill him?
Turning around and looking, I saw a large group of Shu soldiers rushing to kill, about a thousand people.

Moreover, with Wei Tao's eyesight, it is natural to see that these soldiers who came rushing to kill are all elites in the army, and it is absolutely impossible to say that it was an ambush in advance.

"Ma Chao, Huang Zhong!"

Taking a closer look, Wei Tao noticed that the two leading generals were none other than Ma Chao and Huang Zhong.

These two people came here with murderous intent!

"Liu Bei cheated? Impossible!"

Wei Tao first thought that Liu Bei was as he had done before, but when he thought about it carefully, it was impossible. He had faked his death twice before, but in fact he never meant to let the other party see the truth.

It was obvious that someone had been sent to inspect it before. A person like Liu Bei must be very detailed. Even if there is a substitute, it is absolutely impossible to hide the past. It must be Liu Bei's corpse.

But what is the explanation for Ma Chao and Huang Zhong's trip?
"Your Majesty! Escort! Escort quickly!"

Just when Wei Tao was thinking, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong had already approached, and layers of personal guards immediately went up to meet them.

But at this time, the two generals Ma Chao and Huang Zhong performed supernormally, and even Wei Tao's personal guards couldn't resist under the repeated charge.

"Wei Tao! Now I will take revenge on the lord!"

After seeing Wei Tao, the two generals shouted loudly, and the weapons in their hands became even more powerful.

Obviously, the two of them already knew that Liu Bei was indeed dead, and this time was the time to pay for it.

In an instant, Wei Tao understood everything, but he let out a long laugh.

"Haha...Liu Bei is indeed a hero in the world, and he dared to fight to the death. I am afraid that the soldiers of our army who entered Wakou Pass are also in crisis for a while!"

As soon as Wei Tao finished speaking, he saw thick smoke billowing from the Nawakou pass, and many soldiers under his command were trapped in it under the barrier of fire walls.

Although it is said that the Shu army has surrendered before, as long as there are not enough soldiers, it will not be too much of a threat, but everyone can understand that this is a delay by the Shu army, and the purpose is to prevent people from being able to rescue the guards in time. Tao.

"Ha ha……"

But when he saw that this happened, Wei Tao still didn't feel flustered, he tightened his hands on the halberd, his eyes shot sharply, and his expression seemed calm.

"Things are not bad as expected, but there is one more thing, that is, even if it is like this, can I be determined? Let me, Wei Tao, come and see for yourself, what you Ma Chao and Huang Zhong can do! Come on! Follow me to kill!"

As soon as Wei Tao's words fell, he rushed out immediately, turned and rushed towards Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, without any intention of hiding.

This is Wei Tao's usual approach, where there is no need to care about so many miscellaneous things, just rely on the city-breaking halberd in his hand to break the strong when encountering the strong, and defeat the enemy when encountering the enemy!
"kill!"

When Wei Tao charged like this, his guards shouted loudly and charged accordingly. As personal guards, they were originally one with Wei Tao's life, and there was absolutely no reason to back down at this time.

At this time, they are also fighting together, and they are desperate to rush out in the same way.

Soon, the two armies collided fiercely, and there was no mercy between each of them.
