The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 375
Chapter 380 VII Boom

Chen Ziming and Jia Xu smiled at each other, and nodded in agreement with Yang Ang's request, ordering the army to wait ten miles away, passing the checkpoint one by one.

Anyway, Chen Ziming would not attack Qishan now. In order to confuse Zhang Lu, they had to attack Yangping Pass. The best time to attack Hanzhong was after Zhang Lu relaxed his defense against Chen Ziming's troops.

As for Qishan, since Zhang Lu has said that Chen Ziming's grain transport team can pass through at any time, then there is no problem. As long as these dangerous checkpoints are not stormed, it will be easy to win Qishan. Chen Ziming believes that the elite soldiers in his hands will be strong .

"Prime Minister, Zhuowei urgently reports that Chen Ziming led [-] soldiers and horses to pass through Qishan Mountain and is heading towards Yangping Pass." Not long after, Cao Cao, who was in Wuzhangyuan, received information about Qishan Mountain.

"Chen Ziming didn't attack Qishan, but went to Yangping Pass. Could it be that I guessed wrong, or there are people from Liu Bei in Yangping Pass?" Cao Cao frowned and thought to himself.

Originally, once Chen Ziming's army entered Qishan, he would take Qishan and start attacking Hanzhong, but now it was calm and he had no intention of attacking Hanzhong at all.

"Could it be that Chen Ziming really wants to attack Liu Zhang?" Cao Cao was very puzzled, and immediately recruited several staff to discuss it.

At this time, Yangping Pass was closed, Yizhou general Wu Ban stood on the pass, overlooking the endless barracks, and outside Yangping Pass, [-] cavalry were cruising back and forth, guarding against the soldiers and horses inside the pass going out to attack the army that was still being repaired.

"Report to Your Majesty, Chen Ziming has led [-] soldiers to Yangping Pass." Wu Ban's face was serious. As a famous general in Shu, he could tell at a glance that the [-] soldiers and horses outside the pass were all elite, full of energy, and full of vigor. rainbow.

Although Wu Ban had the confidence to defend Yangping Pass, he was facing that pervert Chen Ziming. The famous Chen Ziming made Wu Ban very depressed.

"Order all the soldiers and horses to divide into three teams, and the three teams will take turns to guard against the enemy's surprise attack." Seeing that Chen Ziming's army had no intention of attacking, Wu Ban went back to rest after arranging the defense.

He had to hurry up and recharge his batteries. Once the soldiers and horses outside the city started to attack, he, the general, would not have any rest time.

"Report, please tell the Prime Minister that the pair of Zhang Lu soldiers and horses have set up camp on the west mountain, and they have no intention of leaving." Chen Ziming had just entered the big tent and was about to rest. At this moment, he came to report suddenly.

"Leave this matter to the military advisor." Chen Ziming was taken aback for a moment, then casually tossed the matter to Jia Xu.

Now that Jia Xu has been appointed by Chen Ziming as the military advisor of the army, Chen Ziming was just a spectator in the battle of Hanzhong, everything was planned by Jia Xu, and Chen Ziming was also happy to be at ease.

After Jia Xu found out about this, he sent a team of soldiers to monitor, and then let the soldiers sent by Zhang Lu's general Yang Ang stay there, putting on an upright look. When Yang Ang and Zhang Lu learned about it, Also relieved.

On the third day, Wu Ban, the guard of Yangping Pass, hurried up the tower. Now the tower of Yangping Pass is full of Yizhou soldiers, the atmosphere is very oppressive, and the battle is about to begin.

Wu Ban looked around and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, because Chen Ziming's army had already assumed a stance to attack the city.What made Wu Ban terrified and speechless was that there were 200 soldiers outside the city preparing to attack the city, but behind the [-] soldiers were more than [-] catapults neatly placed.

More than 200 catapults, what a terrifying number, two hundred boulders flew in a round of volley, how can they defend the city, if they are hit by those thrown stones, even if they are slightly scratched, There is only half of the body left.

"Damn it!" Wu Ban finally knew why Chen Ziming had such confidence that a hundred thousand soldiers dared to attack Yangping Pass. With just these two hundred stones, the morale of the defenders of Yangping Pass could be greatly reduced.

"Immediately ask half of the soldiers to withdraw from the tower, and the rest of the soldiers hide behind the battlements and are not allowed to show their faces." Wu Ban hurriedly adjusted his deployment. Otherwise, with such a dense defender, a volley of two hundred catapults could cause casualties to the defenders on the tower. heavy.

"shoot!!!"

With Guan Hai's order, more than 200 catapults were launched at the same time, and more than 200 head-sized stones were thrown out, flying towards Yangping Pass.

"bump!"

"Touch! Touch! Touch!"

Countless stones smashed on the city tower, making a violent impact sound.

"what!"

"Help!!"

"run!"

After a round of volleys, the defenders at Yangping Pass were in chaos. Although the defenders had been prepared for a long time, they still injured a few unlucky people, and some of them were smashed to pieces, causing the soldiers around them to scream.

"Hold on!"

"Wanderers will be killed without mercy!"

"Those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"

Wu Ban hid behind the wall and shouted orders, and then sent his personal guards to kill the soldiers who were running and screaming, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

However, not long after, the second volley came again, and the city wall was hit violently again. The soldiers were so frightened that they dared not show their heads to see the situation outside the city.

"continue....."

Jia Xu, who was beside Guan Hai, saw that there was no one in Yangping for a whole day, smiled slightly, and ordered the catapult to continue attacking.

"Touch.....Touch.....Touch....."

Stones were flying all over the sky, Yangping Pass closed the defenders and continued to suffer, and the city walls had been damaged to varying degrees.

"continue......."

Jia Xu didn't mean to let the pawns attack at all, but kept ordering the catapults to continue attacking.

"Military division, there are problems with a dozen or so catapults, and they are running out of stones." Guan Hai hurriedly said to Jia Xu after receiving the report from his subordinates.

"If it's broken, fix it, if it's not good, throw it away. There are mountains all around here, and there are [-] farmers in the camp. Will you be short of stones?" Jia Xu looked at Guan Hai coldly, and then ordered to continue throwing Zheng stones. .

After another two hours, the density of the catapults has dropped a lot, and the speed has also increased a lot. The soldiers operating the catapults are already very tired. Today they have been working continuously for more than four hours.

"Send 5000 people up."

Jia Xu looked at the sky, and then softly gave orders to Guan Hai beside him.

Soon, five thousand soldiers and horses began to rush towards Yangping Pass. When they were about to reach the downstairs of Yangping Pass, the catapult had already stopped, otherwise they would accidentally injure friendly troops.

"The enemy is coming up!!!"

"Get up, get ready to fight, archers get ready!"

Wu Ban kept paying attention to the movement outside the city. Seeing that the enemy had rushed over and the catapult had stopped attacking, he hurriedly got up and shouted, ordering the defenders to start a counterattack to block the enemy's attack.

"Archer, shoot!"

The sparse feathered arrows shot out amid Wu Ban's shouts, causing no casualties to the siege troops.

Seeing this, Wu Ban knew that the defenders on the tower had no courage to continue fighting, so he immediately dispatched troops from behind to stabilize the situation.
