In September, Qin Feng's army came to Tongguan.

In the field, the camp is the foundation is very important. Therefore, after Qin Feng came to Tongguan, on the one hand, he ordered the troops to set up Dazhai as much as possible, and on the other hand, he led 5,000 cavalry to visit Tongguan to investigate the enemy's situation.

When he came to the front of Tongguan, he rode his horse until a stone's throw in front of the pass, then stopped, and began to look around Tongguan. Three hundred tiger guards and generals accompanied him, and the brigade of soldiers and horses was a little farther away.

I saw that Tongguan was in the middle of the Qinling Mountains, and the Weishui and Luoshui were hugging the pass.

The mountains around the castle are mountainous, peaks and peaks, bottomless valleys, and cliffs that are as straight as a sword plunging into the earth. The castle seems to be embedded in the mountains, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. Only in front of the gate, there is a narrow path to pass.

For the danger of Tongguan, there is a poem in front of "close the door and strangle Kyushu, and the birds cannot pass". Later, there is the great poet Du Fu's poem "The father-in-law sees the important place, the narrow and narrow bicycle, the struggle is difficult, and the eternal use of a husband".

Pang Tong, the accompanying military division, came to this Tongguan for the first time, and couldn't help but exclaim: "There is a more dangerous Guancheng in the world than Hangu Pass!" ”

However, Qin Feng came to Tongguan for the second time, and the last time he came, he returned in vain. "Tongguan is dangerous, one husband is the key to ten thousand people, all military advisors, can there be a good way to break the pass?"

When Xu Shu, Jia Xu, and Pang Tong heard this, they frowned and raised a large number of Tongguan shapes again.

When Qin Feng came to Tongguan, the junior colonel had already reported to Xiahoudun.

After a while, Xiahoudun, who got the news, led all the generals under his command to close the gate.

Xiahou Yuan looked at the closed yellow umbrella cover from afar and pointed out: "This is the honor guard of King Qin. Looking at the golden armor and white horse under the canopy, it must be Qin Zijin. ”

Cao Hong shouted, "Qin Zi is approaching a stone's throw away. It is exactly within the range of our army's trebuchets! He turned his head to look and said, "General Xiahoudun?" ”

Xiahoudun nodded and said, "Pass on my order." Ten thousand stones are sent together, give Qin Zijin a little color to see. ”

So, after the order was passed down, the trebuchet troops of the Cao army immediately went into action. The boulder, which was larger than a winter melon, was carried by three or four people and loaded onto the back bucket of the trebuchet. Stir the mechanism with a click, and pull off the catapult mechanism of the cow tendon.

"Launch!"

Qin Feng, who was closed, only heard a loud shout, and when he raised his eyes, he saw countless boulders cutting through the air. Flying in the air with a roar. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of pieces gathered, covering the sky and the sun, and it has become the trend of Mount Tai to the top.

Holy! The enemy has set up trebuchets on the castle!

Qin Feng was taken aback, turned his horse back, and hurriedly retreated.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Amid the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, all the entourage soldiers retreated.

Knock knock ......knock, they had just retreated, and the place where they had been standing had been buried by a boulder. Boulders are thrown from a great height. smashed the ground out of a deep pit that can bury people, and the momentum is not amazing.

"Hahaha...... Qin Zijin ran away with his tail between his legs!" Guan Shang laughed loudly, as if he had won a big victory.

The danger of Tongguan is important. It is worthy of the reputation of closing the door and choking Kyushu, and the insurmountable reputation of flying birds.

However, Qin Feng would not back down because of this, on the one hand, he sent scouts extensively. Find out the surrounding geographical shapes and think about ways to break the barrier. On the other hand. Send troops and horses to regain the surrounding counties that were previously occupied by Cao Cao.

In particular, Xinfeng Port, north of Tongguan, was conquered by the Qin army as soon as possible. Thereupon. Qin Feng's Yellow River naval army continued to deliver strategic materials to the north. In Hangu Pass, the horse team continued day and night, sending the materials of the Central Plains to the front of the army.

At this point, Qin Feng was fully prepared for a protracted war. This time, if he doesn't take Tongguan, he will definitely not withdraw his troops.

On the other hand.

Cao Cao's helper, Cheng Yu, has come to Hanzhong.

Hanzhong, the General's Mansion Chamber.

In the past two days, Cheng Yu has come here for the third time, and there is no Lu Bu in the hall, only his military advisor Chen Gong is there, which makes Cheng Yu's heart heavy, and it seems that Lu Bu is unwilling to send troops to help. As he walked into the hall, he bowed and said to Chen Gong: "Brother Gongtai, your lips and teeth are cold...... ”

Chen Gong's face was also heavy, and he shook his hand and said, "Brother Zhongde, the current form of Chen Gong is very clear. I will definitely persuade my lord to send troops to help, and Brother Zhongde can go to Shuzhong to ask Xuande Gong to send troops to help. When the Shu soldiers came to Hanzhong, they naturally joined forces to save Meng Degong. ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, his hands were clasped in his sleeves. He has always been strategic, how can he not hear the meaning of Chen Gong's words. This is wait-and-see, if Liu Xuande does not send troops, I am afraid that Lu Bu will not send troops. "That being the case, Cheng Yu took his leave."

Chen Gong sent Cheng Yu out of the house all the way, and only then did he shake his head and sigh bitterly until the carriage was far away. It's just that Lu Bu only has Hanzhong, and he is alone, and Xiping City in the east and Xu Huangbu of the Qin army are eyeing each other. If Liu Bei does not send troops, even if he sends 20,000 or 30,000 people, it will be useless.

When Chen Gong returned to the council hall, Lu Bu was already sitting in the hall and said, "Gongtai, what should General Ben do now?" ”

Chen Gong saluted and said: "Now that Qin Zi is gaining momentum, if the princes do not unite, it will become the trend of Qin destroying the Six Kingdoms." Liu Xuande will definitely send troops to help, and the lord can send a team of soldiers and horses to support at that time. Only Cao Cao withstood Qin Feng in Yongliang could he ...... peacefully. ”

Five days later, Shuzhong, Chengdu Prefecture Pastoral Chamber.

"Only when Cao Cao withstood Qin Feng in Yongliang can the shape of the world undergo drastic changes." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly.

Zhang Song looked at Liu Bei in the hall and bowed, and said: "What Zhuge Junshi said is very true, the previous battle in Jingzhou consumed a lot of resources, and it urgently needs time to recover. Even if Cao Cao can't stand it, he can delay time. ”

Since Zhuge Liang reappeared, his edge has converged a lot, and he has deliberately made friends, and his relationship with Shu officials has improved a little.

Liu Bei sat in the hall very richly, but he only had one ear, and his prestige was suddenly greatly reduced. As the lord, how can he not know the situation in Shuzhong. 300,000 soldiers and horses left Sichuan, and only 100,000 remained in Jiangling to cooperate with Eastern Wu to defend the Qin army in Jingzhou.

Although there were no 200,000 soldiers and horses, the supplies for Izukawa were also left. With these materials, Liu Bei tore his face and grabbed the strong men everywhere, with the help of the Shu sergeant clan. Soon another 100,000 strong men were arrested. So Liu Bei obeyed Zhuge Liang's construction and summoned half of the veterans from Jiangling. Half of the recruits are being sent over. Bring the old with the new and stabilize the military momentum.

"Shuzhong is rich ....... This time, we must be cautious and do not attack blindly ....... Liu Bei always thought like this.

Zhuge Liang's words interrupted Liu Bei's thoughts, "Lord, Liang is willing to personally accompany the army to support Cao Cao's war ...... in Yongliang." ”

In Liu Bei's view, Qin Feng is already like Qin in the late Warring States period, and if the princes of the world do not unite together, they will inevitably be wiped out by Qin Feng in turn. Under the same hatred. Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang's governor's soldiers and horses, and sent generals Zhang Fei and Yan Yan to help, and Zhang Wei, Lei Tong, Gao Xiang, Huo Jun, and Chen Shi as deputy generals, and sent 40,000 soldiers and horses out of Sichuan to support Cao Cao.

Liu Bei did not send Li Yan, Meng Da, Zhang Song and others, so as not to be absent and internal contradictions.

Five days later.

Cheng Yu returned to Hanzhong and informed Lu Bu of the news that Liu Bei had sent troops.

Hanzhong County, where Lü Bu is located, borders Yongzhou, and if Qin Feng captures Yongzhou. He must be the next one to be unlucky. Therefore, after learning that Liu Bei sent troops, Lu Bu smashed the pot and sold iron, and also made up 30,000 soldiers and horses. Just wait for Zhuge Liang's soldiers and horses to come to Hanzhong. They joined forces to support Cao Cao.

So far, Cheng Yu has the joy of achieving his mission. Feibao returned to Chang'an.

……

The thirteenth year of Jian'an, the end of September.

Tongguan.

The walls of the city have been blackened by fire. Smoke billowed everywhere, corpses were strewn all over the field, and blood flowed into the river. In the sound of drums. The soldiers of the Qin army pushed the cloud platform, carried the cloud ladder, braved the arrows and flints, and launched an offensive against Tongguan again.

Due to Cao's all-out efforts to build the Tongguan city wall, after the expansion, the trebuchet was moved to Guanshang. The Qin army's trebuchets fired at it, and both sides suffered heavy losses. This made it impossible for the trebuchet troops of the Qin army to bombard the city walls. Therefore, Qin Feng's plan to rely on trebuchets to smash the city wall could not be realized, and he could only rely on infantry to storm Tongguan.

Half an hour later, the sun was setting, and the Qin army's offensive was repulsed by the Cao army.

In the sound of gold, the Qin army retreated like a tide. In the process of retreating, the wounded soldiers of their own side were taken away from the battlefield. At this point, the battlefield covered with smoke was only covered with corpses.

Qin Feng in front of the battle frowned, "Order the whole army to return to Dazhai and make every effort to treat the injured soldiers." He looked at the smoking Tongguan from afar, his eyes were a little gloomy, "I can't fight like this anymore......." ”

With the cheers of the Cao army on Tongguan, the Qin army retreated in despair. You can't blame them, they have already tried their best, how can they be dangerous, and ordinary manpower can't break it.

On Tongguan, Xiahoudun was very excited, his nostrils continued to expand when he breathed, and he exhaled: "Qin Zijin attacked the city several times in half a month, and it is estimated that he lost 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers. He will definitely not be able to conquer the Tongguan guarded by us, and the grain and grass in the rear will arrive again today, reward the three armies tonight, and then go to the lord to get good news! ”

As a result, Cao Bing cheered even louder.

Qin Jun side.

When Qin Feng returned to the king's tent, Xin Xianying, who had been waiting anxiously, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to fetch a basin towel to serve Qin Feng to wash.

Qin Feng looked at Xin Xianying, who only had official affairs and did not have the slightest affection, and laughed at himself: "You can write like this, King Qin was defeated today, and he returned to ...... with a sad face." ”

Xin Xianying's beautiful eyes looked at him, and said lightly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and my king must not be discouraged." Moreover, the courtiers can only describe the five senses of King Qin screwed together, as for the sad face, it is a subjective assumption, not an objective record. ”

After speaking, Xin Xianying took the basin and twisted her little buttocks and left.

"Yikes!" Qin Feng looked at the beautiful back and disappeared into the inner tent, shook his head and sighed bitterly, and said to Dian Wei on duty: "Go, summon all the military advisors to discuss the matter." ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as Dian Wei walked out, Zhang Ping, an officer of the Tiger Guard, strode in and said, "King, Shuzhong Intelligence Wei Feige has passed on the urgent military situation!" ”

"King, the Hanzhong intelligence guard has sent an urgent military situation!" At this time, another tiger guard entered the account.

Qin Feng took it and took a look, it turned out to be information about Liu Bei's troops and Lu Bujun's movements. He could immediately think that these two places must have come to support Cao Cao.

If Liu Bei and Lu Bu's reinforcements came together to guard the defense line from Tongguan to Chang'an, Qin Feng could not necessarily say that he would be defeated, but the chance of winning was not great, and he suddenly became even more sad.

Although it took time for the two reinforcements to reach Tongguan, there was not much time left for Qin Feng. (To be continued......)
