Chapter 284 Breaking Yangping Pass
After Yangping Pass, the location of the Hanzhong Army!

Zhang Wei pulled Yang Ren in, and Yang Ang drank to celebrate, but at a certain time, there was a loud noise outside the tent, noisy and flustered.

Yang Ren, Yang Ang, the faces of the two of them changed drastically, Zhang Wei was already a little drunk, at this moment he said doubtfully:
"What's the noise, what happened?"

A moment later, a person broke in, knelt down in front of the three of them and said:
"General, the enemy army attacked at night, the offensive is fierce, Guancheng is desperately resisting!"

Zhang Wei woke up from the wine in an instant, and his face was full of disbelief:

"What? How is it possible!"

Yang Ren, Yang Ang, they got up directly, Yang Ren immediately explained, and then ran out with Yang Ang:

"General, Guancheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are still [-] defenders in it. It is not so easy for the enemy to break through. Let us organize soldiers to support it!"

Zhang Wei was a little flustered when he encountered this situation, but he also knew that the overall situation must be stabilized, so he immediately got up and chased him out. Although he was shaky, he was very clear-headed. If the enemy captured Guancheng, they would be finished.

This Yangping Pass was built in the middle of the mountains, relying on the mountains on both sides to extend, usually it can only accommodate a few thousand people, but only relying on a mere few thousand people, even an army of tens of thousands, cannot advance half a step.

Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, and Yang Ang began to shout loudly, wanting to call the soldiers out of the camp to form a formation, ready to go to Guancheng for support at any time.

But it was night. One was that the sky was dark, and the other was that no arrangements had been made in advance. It was not easy to gather the soldiers.

At this time, Guancheng has ushered in the most severe test!

In the mountains and forests on both sides, black shadows kept flickering, like ghosts and ghosts, making people frightened, and arrows shot out from inside.

The defenders in the cottage were already under great mental stress. Faced with these arrows, those who were hit would fall down and faint when rubbed. They didn't die, but they gradually became numb and even paralyzed from the wounds until they fell to the ground and could no longer move.

In fact, there are few copper and iron arrowheads on those arrows, and most of them are bone and wooden arrowheads, which only have such an effect after being poisoned.

Following Pound's order, those black shadows finally showed their true form. They spit out the branches in their mouths, started to shout and scream, and had tattoos on their hair. At night, they looked very intrusive.

After rushing out of the forest, they climbed into the cottage, one, ten, hundreds... The defenders summoned up their courage to fight, but they were already outnumbered, and soon a cottage was completely taken away.

Pang De finally climbed up, and seeing that he had captured a stronghold, he was instantly relieved. Guancheng and the stronghold are connected to each other. With this stronghold, they can also kill Guancheng.

Immediately afterwards, he yelled, and what he was speaking was not Chinese or elegant language, but the not-so-proficient Qiangdi language:

"Warriors, now let's throw this place into complete chaos!"

The surrounding people responded one after another, and then began to riot.

Pound tried his best to control them, constantly setting fires, creating chaos, from the cottage to Guancheng, minimizing frontal and close combat.

This Diren Feibu with very backward equipment can suppress the defenders and then attack the stronghold by using their fast walking in the mountains and forests and their ability to poison the arrows at night.

But in the face of a well-equipped elite, maybe three or five may not be able to kill one of them.

At this time, Yangping Pass gradually fell into flames and chaos. The cottages on both sides were shouting and killing.

Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Li Yao immediately ordered:

"Climb the mountain quickly, win the pass quickly, those who retreat will die! Those who retreat will die!!"

It is not realistic to rely on the Di people alone to capture Yangping Pass. The Di people are just creating chaos, and the key is to need elite soldiers under their command.

Bei Gongli, Hu Zhen, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and other generals began to urge them. Among them, Hu Feng, Wu Xi... Gao Shun, Hao Meng... personally led the attack. There were still rocks and rolling logs on the hillside, but even if someone fell, more soldiers quickly moved forward.

They rushed to the pass at the risk, set up the ladders, and quickly climbed up. The defenders lost order due to chaos. Although they still resisted, they became weaker and weaker.

In this way, there is an opportunity. A few armored soldiers rushed forward, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other.

On the narrow pass city, the two sides were fighting head-on and close combat. The Hanzhong Army, which had not experienced many wars, could not fight these former Xiliang Army.

He was suppressed and even driven out of Guancheng.

Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, and Yang Ang, the three of them led the troops, but it was too late. Now they need to attack from the back. The combat power is already low, and at night, the morale is low, and the morale of the army is unstable.

In the chaos, Yang Ren was killed, Yang Ang was captured, and Zhang Wei disappeared. It was not until the sky gradually brightened that the battle really ended.

Under the sun, Li Yao stood at the Guancheng position, which now belongs to them, and he looked towards Hanzhong.

The plains are faintly visible in the distance. This land of four fortresses is Hanzhong, which is the buffer zone between Guanzhong and Yizhou. Occupying here, the offensive against Yizhou in the future will be able to take the initiative.

Lowering his head slightly and seeing that there was a military camp at the foot of the mountain, Li Yao said to the left and right:

"Now you can mobilize the fine cavalry, level this barracks for me, and gather prisoners. Whether it is to speed up the construction of plank roads or transport food, with these prisoners, there will be no need to recruit more civilians in the future!"

Guanzhong, Hanzhong, the two places are very close, within ten days, you can go from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, or from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, so the logistics are not very tight, but Yizhou is ridiculously large, with Hanzhong in the north, Shu County in the west, Berkshire in the east, Nanzhong in the south, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing.

The people on the left and right, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, couldn't wait to take orders and leave.

At this time, Li Yao suddenly said again:

"Xu Huang, who killed Yang Ren, is a strong man. He is quite good. Pass on the order to let him join my personal army and serve as a halberd under my tent. I will use it again in the future..."

"And Yang Ang, go and ask if you want to surrender, if you want to surrender, then stay, if you don't surrender, then behead!"

In this one battle alone, more than a thousand soldiers were killed or injured. This Yangping Pass can be described as dangerous!

At the same time, under the cover of Yang Ren and Yang Ang, Zhang Wei escaped for a night and finally returned to Nanzheng. Zhang Wei also cried and found Zhang Lu. The first sentence he said when they met was:

"Your Majesty, Yangping Pass is lost!"

Zhang Lu opened his mouth wide, unable to speak no matter what...
