Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 574 Yangping Pass

Zhang Ning agreed to work in the Chu Palace. As long as she was there, the Chu Palace became a forbidden place for Xuanmen...

At the same time, the sudden "disappearance" of Zhang Qiying's maid did not cause any waves.

After all, Zhang Ning used the "blurring method" to give psychological hints on weekdays, which made people ignore her subconsciously.

Zhang Qiying didn't mention it to Zhang Lu specifically. After all, she felt that if her father knew that Huang Tianji, who he had been looking for, was actually by her side, but he failed to pass the test, she would probably not be too relieved.

At this time in Hanzhong, after Sun Ce and Zhao Yun were united, the battle of Hanzhong with Ma Chao also reached the final stage!
After Zhao Yun came for reinforcements, he quickly used Nanzheng as his base and approached Yangping Pass. Although the pass was not broken, it also prevented subsequent Xiliang army reinforcements from pouring into Hanzhong from here.

Yangping Pass is originally in the valley. Even if the key is not in his hands, Zhao Yun can still stop it by setting up camp and pulling up barbed wire.

Sun Ce concentrated on heading east, wiping out the influence of the influx of Xiliang Qiang cavalry all the way to Hanzhong...

Now that Ma Chao's main force has been forced back to Yangping Pass, there are only a few stragglers in the counties in the Hanzhong Basin...

At this time, Sun Ce also returned to the west, preparing to join hands with Zhao Yun to break through Yangping and completely recapture the west gate of Hanzhong!
Ma Chao and Pang De were also guarding the pass at this time. After all, they were only Qiang cavalry before, and the more damage they suffered, the greater the damage, and there were more main forces of the Xiliang army behind them.

As long as Yangping Pass is still there, reinforcements can continue to come from Chencang Road. Although the plank road is more difficult, it is far from defeated.

What makes Ma Chao uncomfortable now is that once the main force of the Xiliang army arrives, not only the Ma family will be there, but that bastard Han Sui will also get a share of the pie!

Originally, Ma Chao came to take the lead and brought a large number of Qiang people who had surrendered to him to ride over. He wanted to gain more benefits for the Ma family in Hanzhong.

As a result, many Qiang cavalry who were attracted to him were injured, but in the end they were driven back to Yangping Pass...

When Han Sui saw him, in front of Ma Teng, he "comforted" Ma Chao and said, "My nephew is really brave! Hanzhong is surrounded by dangers, but my nephew can lead the vanguard to capture Yangping. He is really a leader of the Xiliang army." It saved many casualties, and this battle should be the first achievement!"

It sounded like a nice thing to say, but Ma Chao felt very awkward. He snorted and left on the spot, returning to Yangping Pass. Only his father, Ma Teng, was left to continue with Han Sui in embarrassment in the military camp behind Yangping Pass. Sing the drama of being in love with each other.

Ma Chao was called the vanguard, but because he had launched a large number of Qiang cavalry, the effort required was not the work of a vanguard. This time he was originally coming to Hanzhong, but Chu State actually intervened!
And now the Chu State is under the control of Chen Bingyang Ping, intending to recapture the west gate of Hanzhong in one fell swoop.

It is not easy to come to Hanzhong from Jingzhou, but unlike other places, Hanzhong has a full treasury. Although many were looted and burned by the Qiang before, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce's armies still have the confidence to have sufficient supplies.

In contrast, the cost of continuously coming to support and transport the Xiliang army from Chencang Road is actually much higher.

That is to say, Yangping Pass is still in hand, giving the Xiliang army a chance to breathe and a place to store food. Otherwise, if the Xiliang people need to attack the city at Yangping Pass, they will be harassed by the Chu army from time to time. The troops will be withdrawn without support within ten months.

It's like a family living on the 20th floor. Robbers have come outside and have occupied the door. The family is guarding the entrance. Both parties are attacking each other with water cannons. The family only needs to go to the kitchen to fill the water, while the robbers have to transport it from the first floor. Come on the water!
Just because the door of the house is under the control of the robber, he can open it and close it whenever he wants, and he can also store some water in the corridor.

If the door of the house is taken back at this time, the robber will basically have no choice but to retreat.

At this time, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce want to regain their "family"...

"Bold General Chu! The imperial court ordered me, the Xiliang Army, to attack the rice thieves and recover the land of Longxing, my great Han Dynasty. You have mobilized your troops without an edict and invaded the heavenly soldiers. Aren't you afraid of being reviled by the world?" Pang De closed the door and looked down. Sun Ce and Zhao Yun yelled and cursed.

As for Ma Chao... he has always been unwilling to waste words. When he knows that the opponent cannot retreat or surrender, he is more willing to attack directly.

Pang De originally wanted to play a role in destroying the morale of the enemy army, but... the de-Chineseization of Chu State has been going on for a long time. Even among the Chu people, the Han Dynasty has little influence. They often play the role of clowns in dramas, and the Chu army is even more All ties with the Han Dynasty have been severed long ago!
Pound's shouting had no effect.

Instead, Sun Ce spoke at this time and said: "Xiliang boy, listen! Zhang Lu, the Marquis of Hanning, has surrendered to our Chu Kingdom and has been named Chu Yuhanhou. Hanzhong will also be the land of our Chu Kingdom from now on. You can retreat now and wait for my family." Your Majesty can be given a lighter sentence if he is defeated, but if you are stubborn... I, the Great Chu, will rush into Longyou, capture you, and convict and interrogate you one by one!"

Pang De and Ma Chao were also very angry...

In fact, they already knew about the news of Zhang Luna's surrender to Chu two days ago. After all, Bai Tu specially held a ceremony to promote the knowledge of the Xian envoys within Chu State-including Hanzhong.

This will completely calm down the people of Hanzhong and give Chu State more room to appease.

However, the Xiliang army obviously will not be threatened by this kind of threat. After all, they will have to fight...

Yangping Pass is now connected to Longyou, and Guan'ai City Princess is now connected to Liangzhou. The people's support bonus on the pass wall also follows that of Xiliang!
Although Sun Ce and Zhao Yun have a lot of artillery, and even large-caliber mortars and armor-piercing projectiles specially designed to break through walls, they are still of little use against pass defenses...

In up-and-down shooting, even if the infuriating crossbow can exert suppressive power in the following confrontation, it is difficult for the defenders to cause too much damage due to the protection of the battlements.

If you want to win the level, you will eventually have to attack with a ladder like a cloud...

However, the Chu army was obviously unwilling to adopt such tactics. They only fought for a few days, with limited casualties on both sides.

At this time, Zhao Yun, Sun Ce, Fazheng and others were determined to pay attention - if it didn't work, they would completely destroy Yangping Pass!

With today's weapons and equipment, the Chu army is no longer willing to attack and kill the enemy like a millstone of flesh and blood...

After three days of preparation, when they attacked the city again, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce directly entered the state of divine power and forced their way onto the city wall!

At the same time, there was no ladder to respond. In the Chu army's formation were more than a dozen iron wagons driven by manpower, slowly advancing towards the pass...

The iron cart was pushed from the inside, and was directly covered with thick iron sheets on the outside. The defenders on the city obviously couldn't do anything with this thing with only bows and arrows. Even if it was ventilated and insulated by wooden boards, even pouring oil on it to burn it would have little effect.

Although Ma Chao didn't know what the Chu army wanted to do. After all, the iron cart below didn't look like it could climb the wall, but seeing Zhao Yun and Sun Ce enter the state of supernatural power at the same time, he knew that today's attack would be of great importance to Chu. Say, it should be very important!

I saw that Ma Chao also entered the state of divine power and directly approached Zhao Yun, who had never fought before, while Sun Ce directly released the 28 Heroic Soul Cavalry to mow (grass) and harass (grass) on the city wall with him...
