Xian Hong couldn't help but be shocked, the reason why he moved the defense line forward to the Suspension Bridge Ridge was because the city wall of Wuguan had not yet been repaired, and he blocked the Wei army in the Suspension Bridge Ridge, which could win some time for the repair of Wuguan, according to the estimation of the project, Zhan Hong only needed to hold on to the Suspension Bridge Ridge for four or five days, and the Wuguan side could be completed, and then Zhan Hong would calmly retreat and defend Wuguan tightly.

But what Zhan Hong didn't expect was that Du Yu didn't play his cards according to common sense at all, and while attacking Suspension Bridge Ridge, he also sent a group of men and horses to attack Wuguan from the small road. Even Lian Hong didn't understand how Du Yu found another way from the mountains and mountains in addition to this pass.

Zhan Hong couldn't help but secretly complain, the Wuguan has not yet been repaired, and the defense capability at this time is the weakest, Du Pre sent troops to raid at this time, and it is very difficult to hold the Wuguan. Once Wuguan is lost, the army stationed in Jiaoling led by himself will inevitably fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on his back, and the situation will be critical.

At this point, I'm afraid that Suspension Bridge Ridge will no longer be able to hold it. After Nie Kai was broken, the Shu army withdrew from the Suspension Bridge Ridge as a whole and retreated in the direction of Wuguan.

Fortunately, the road of Suspension Bridge Ridge is narrow, belonging to the kind of terrain that is not open to a husband, and Nie Kai only led five hundred people, and he could seal the entire road to death, Nie Kai discharged the formation behind the shield soldier hall and the archers behind the shield soldier in the rear guard troops, mainly defending, but also losing the power of counterattack in the defense, retreating slowly, covering the retreat of the brigade.

Du Zhen saw that Lian Hong retreated without a fight, and thought that the team that attacked Wuguan was successful, and immediately waved his army to chase after him, and lost the Shu army that was in danger of Drawbridge Ridge, Du Zhen naturally didn't pay attention to it.

However, the narrow road made it very difficult for the Wei army to pursue, if it was a flat road or a flat river. The advantage of the speed of the Wei cavalry can be fully reflected, the three thousand men and horses of the Shu army want to get out, but there is no door, and the situation will be wrapped in dumplings by the Wei army's strong cavalry.

But on the difficult Wuguan Road, there are steep cliffs on one side and deep valleys on the other. The Wei army's superiority in numbers and speed could not be reflected at all, so they could only honestly follow behind the Shu army and follow suit.

The Shu army's turtle-like rearguard unit seemed to be heavy and slow, but it was extremely efficient, the arrows fired by the Wei army's pursuing troops did nothing under the dense shield defense, and the Wei soldiers who rushed forward and pursued wildly were constantly attacked by the cold arrows of the Shu army, so that the pace of the Wei army's pursuit had to be delayed again and again.

Suspension Bridge Ridge is only more than ten miles away from Wuguan, and with Nie Kai's rearguard troops on top, Xian Hong has no worries at all. He was concerned about the safety of Wuguan, so he naturally led the army all the way and rushed back to Wuguan.

Turning a mountain beam, Wuguan is close in front of you. Most of the city walls of Wuguan have been renovated, and from a distance, there are only a few places such as the gate of the building that have not yet been completed, and these gaps have become the key parts of the Wei army's attack.

According to the principle of wooden barrels. The amount of water in a barrel is determined not by the longest plank but by the shortest plank, in the same way as a city's defensive capabilities. It was not determined by the strongest section of the city wall but by the weakest section of the city wall, and the Wuguan gate, which had not yet been completed, became the breakthrough point of the Wei army.

Xian Hong took 3,000 people to guard the Suspension Bridge Ridge, but there were a lot of people left on the Wuguan side, a full 7,000, but in order to repair the city wall, most of the 7,000 people laid down their weapons. Picking up picks, shovels, baskets, picking up soil and transporting stones, it is the work of a civil carpenter.

The surprise attack of the Wei army caused chaos to a certain extent to the Shu army, although the Shu army was superior in numbers, but at the moment it was bare-handed. How can it withstand the rapid offensive of the Wei army.

The Wei army's attack was also purposeful, Shao Yuan had already focused on the two gaps in the Wuguan city wall, concentrated his forces to launch a strong impact on these two gaps, and quickly succeeded, and the Wei army also attacked the Wuguan city.

After a short period of confusion, the Shu army reorganized under the command of Deng Zhong, the lieutenant general of the Longxi battalion, and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Wei army, which had already entered the city of Wuguan.

After Lian Hong rushed back to Wuguan, he found that Wuguan had been lost, and the Wei army that attacked the city had already broken through the city, and the Shu army defending the city had a street battle.

Without saying a word, Zhan Hong immediately waved his army to join the battle group, and the Shu army poured into Wuguan City and launched a larger-scale melee with the Wei army.

The addition of the army led by Xianhong played a certain role in turning the tide of the battle at Wuguan, and basically suppressed the onslaught of the Wei army.

However, the number of Wei soldiers who poured into Wuguan City was large, and if you wanted to recapture Wuguan, you had to expel these Wei troops, which was almost an unattainable goal in a short period of time.

Xian Hong was worried, the discovery of the battle situation seemed to be very unfavorable to the Shu army, Du Pre's army may come at any time, if he can't recapture Wuguan quickly, when Du Pre's army comes, the situation will become more and more severe.

Du Pre obviously came much faster than Zhan Hong estimated, and with the arrival of Du Pre's army, the battle situation suddenly deteriorated, and countless Wei troops poured into Wuguan, and the fate of losing was already doomed.

Lian Hong had no choice but to lead the remnants of the defeated army to escape from Wuguan and retreat in the direction of Shangluo.

"Report, report to the general, Wuguan has been lost, and the escort army has led its troops to retreat to Shang County!" The scout came quickly.

When he received the news of the loss of Wuguan, Liu Yin was discussing with the generals in Yang'an Pass, and when he heard the news, the generals were shocked. Wuguan is one of the three main points of Guanzhong's defense, and the loss of Wuguan will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the situation in Chang'an.

Liu Yin didn't expect Wuguan to be lost so quickly, he drank in a deep voice and asked for details, it turned out that when Lianhong rushed to Wuguan, the city was broken and dilapidated, and before the Wuguan was repaired, the Wei army's brigade had already attacked, and Xianhong guarded the suspension bridge ridge to try to keep the enemy out of Wuguandao, but the Wei army attacked Wuguan from the path, causing Wuguan to be lost.

"Who is the leader of the Wei army?"

"It's General Annan, Du Pre."

All the generals talked about it, and they all seemed to despise Du Pre, who was born in nepotism.

Liu Yin smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this Du Pre!" (To be continued.) )
