Chapter 283 The aggrieved veteran

Samoco rolled to the ground, and his whole body was full of blood.

He tried to get up, but several muscles and bones all over his body were cut off by Ma Chao, and he couldn't use it at all.

Blood was flowing, and Samoco felt more and more tired. He knew that he was going to die.

"Brother, I can't help you calm the world. Forgive me."

After Shamoco blamed himself, he suddenly turned over and laughed with his back, laughing at how rampant and disdainful he was.

Ma Chao's face was puzzled. Before driving the horse, the silver gun pointed to the sand surface on the ground and scolded, "Manzi, what else is funny when you die?"

Samoke's rough face faced Ma Chao fearlessly, spitting blood in his mouth and said, "I'm going to die in your hands today, but the general will avenge me sooner or later. You ants can't stop the general from unifying the world at all, haha--"

The more Shamoke laughed, the more presumptuous he became, as if at this moment, it was not Samo who fell here, but the majestic Ma Chao.

"The defeated generals dare to be so rampant. Humph, I can't let you die."

The voice fell, and Ma Chao stepped directly on Shamoco's open arm in front of him.

The body of a man and a horse weighed hundreds of pounds. When pressed like this, he only heard a crisp sound, and Samoka's arm was crushed.

Such a heavy blow must be painful, but Shamoke not only didn't cry in pain, but still gritted his teeth and laughed.

The horse passing by was angry. With a silver shot, hundreds of knights behind him swarmed up.

Countless pairs of horses' hoofs ruthlessly stepped on his legs, feet, shoulders and abdomen, and trampled his body like a mess of mud.

"Happy, happy, haha--"

Shamoco was still laughing, as if the pain was endless. It was not until his chest was trampled through that the arrogant laughter disappeared.

At this moment, even the cold-blooded Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a trace of horror when he looked at the devil's enemy.

At the other end of the river, Wei Yan had safely crossed the pontoon bridge. More than a thousand subordinates who could not escape were cut off on the north bank. The raging fire ignited, and the victory Ma Chao set fire to the pontoon bridge.

Standing by the river, looking at the chaotic figures on the other side, and the "fire dragon" lying on the river, Wei Yan's heart was extremely uncomfortable.

When Wei Yanqing was defeated and found that Shamoke was missing, the cloud in his heart was heavier.

After in questioning around, Wei Yan just learned from the defeated army that Samoco had died under Ma Chao's command.

Hearing the bad news, Wei Yan was quite hit.

Although Wei Yan has always looked down on this barbarian general in his heart, Shamoke and his barbarian army have been Wei Yan's right-hand man since the Xiangyang era, which has made a lot of contributions to him.

But now, this brave and good warrior is buried under Ma Chao's men because of his own judgment. Wei Yan naturally has a lot of shame in grief and indignation.

While collecting the defeated army and preparing to fight again, Wei Yan had to blame himself and reported the battle of Heyin to Liu Feng, the general on the front line of the wild king.

########## Four days later, Liu Feng received this bad news from Heyin.

Liu Feng was not very depressed about the defeat of Wei Yanjun. After all, Wei Yan was facing Ma Chao, and it was a battle of crossing the river with unfavorable terrain. The defeat was normal.

What really made Liu Feng angry was the death of Samoco.

Speaking of which, Samoko is still his own brother-in-law. Liu Feng will never forget the great contributions he has made to him in his life.

In those years, he was guarding the second county of Xiangdong, and the major general was widowed. If Shamoke hadn't raised an army in Wuling and attracted Guan Yu to Wuling, he would have had a chance to attack Jiangling.

It can be said that without Samoco, there would be no rise of Liu Feng, let alone his current hegemonic career.

Although the end of that year was only one of the last resort, although Liu Feng did not have much brotherhood for Samokko, he was sincerely grateful to Samoke.

And now, Samoco is dead.

He died before his great career and peace was about to come, and he died under the hands of his biggest enemy in his life.

In Liu Feng's heart, grief and indignation are burning like a fire.

When the generals heard the news of Heyin's defeat and Shamoke's death in the battle, they were also indignant and asked to fight to the death with the main force of Liu Bei's army.

In fact, in the current situation, Liu Bei's nearly 90,000 main forces gathered in the northwest of the Wild King, and Liu Feng's 100,000 troops went to the fortress in front of the Wild King City. There were more than a dozen large and small bases on each side, forming two arc-shaped confrontation lines.

In terms of military strength, morale and territory, the strength of the two armies is comparable. It is obviously unrealistic for Liu Fengruo to copy the battle of Lejia and defeat Cao Jian again.

"Your lord, although it's a pity that General Samoko died in battle, at this time, I think I should act calmly, and it's not appropriate to be angry because of the moment's anger."

All the generals generously invited the war, but Lu Xun calmly advised Liu Feng.

Of course, Liu Feng is very clear about the current situation of the enemy and us. He who is familiar with the art of war, naturally knows that he is a handsome man and should not easily change his strategy because of the gains and losses of World War I.

There is no need for Lu Xun to remind Liu Feng that this is by no means a good time for a decisive battle.

Knowing this, Liu Feng rose up and said angrily, "It's really hateful for Liu Bei to destroy my favorite generals. I have to avenge this revenge. I will pass on the order. It is clear that all the armies will attack and launch a comprehensive attack on the enemy camp."

Liu Feng ordered to go to war. Of course, all the generals were excited, but Lu Xun was shocked. He wanted to be persuaded again, but Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say more. Our army has lost a lot of generals, and morale will be hit. At this time, we must pay back to the enemy."

Liu Feng was so determined that Lu Xun knew that he could not dissuade him, so he had to shut his mouth, but he thought to himself, "The general has always been that kind of calm person. Why is he so impulsive this time? It's really strange..."

########## thousands of miles away, Hanzhong.

General Zhengxi, veteran Huang Zhong, has been leading 30,000 soldiers and horses on the way to Yangpingguan at this moment.

Since Liu Bei marched to Hedong earlier, he had to transfer many soldiers and horses guarding Hanzhong, leaving them to Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses, but only 20,000.

In order to cope with the pressure from Shuzhong and the three eastern counties at the same time, Zhao Yun had to move the southern defense line north, give up the Langzhong and the Jianmeng line, and concentrate the southern soldiers and horses in the Yangpingguan area.

When Huang Zhong's troops and Ma Yan's troops launched a clamp attack on Hanzhong, Zhao Yun personally led about 15,000 soldiers and horses to enter Yangping Pass, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses were commanded by Li Hui and deployed in the golden garrison area east of Hanzhong to stop Ma Yan's troops.

A few years ago, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other generals in Shu led most of the Yizhou army to leave Sichuan. Now, these Yizhou soldiers are either guarding Jiangdong or following the general Liu Feng on the front line of Hanoi.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses unified by Huang Zhong are almost the last troops in Shuzhong.

A few days later, Huang Zhong led the army of Shuzhong to the west of Yangping Pass.

After the camp on the same day, Huang Zhong went to observe the terrain of Yangping Pass in person. It was not until then that he really saw what the world was called danger.

This Yangping Pass is built between the north and south mountains. The terrain in front of the pass is extremely narrow, and it is not easy for even two or three thousand people to unfold, let alone tens of thousands of troops. The ground is two or three feet above the gate. If you want to attack the city, you still need to attack up. In addition, the north and south mountains of the pass are high, so it is very unfavorable to climb, not to mention using troops from both wings.

In addition, the enemy also built a city in Hengshan in front of the gate, all built with solid stones, one after another from west to east. There are almost three or four walls, and each one is one higher than the previous one.

Moreover, the city defense system of Yangping Pass is very smart. The inner city and the outer city are reasonably built. There are arrows on the stone walls, and the urn city is fully equipped. In addition to the city wall, large and small stone villages have been built, forming a three-dimensional defense system with the front main gate city.

With such a condescending trend, supplemented by a strong bow and a hard crossbow, I'm afraid that most of the soldiers and horses attacking the city will be killed and injured when they arrive at the city.

"Yangping Pass is known as the first dangerous pass in the world, and it really lives up to its reputation." Huang Zhong looked up at the danger and couldn't help sighing.

Despite this, Huang Zhong decided to make a test attack on Yangpingguan.

The camp was slightly rested. The next time, Huang Zhong led more than 5,000 people to launch a strong attack on Yangping Pass.

The result of the attack can be imagined.

Although there are many Huang Zhong's troops, they are just a little bit of terrain before the pass. If you don't want to be smashed by the enemy's wood, the offensive force invested in each impact can only be maintained at about 2,000 people at most. The enemies in the city, at least 3,000 people on each stone wall, are distributed, and the number of troops defending the city is more than the number of people attacking the city.

A wave of attacks killed and injured more than 500 people, and did not even touch the outermost stone wall of Guancheng. Seeing this situation, Huang Zhong knew that the strong attack could only hurt the soldiers in vain, and he could only make a decisive decision and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

In the following ten days, Huang Zhong used up many means such as night attack and assault, but after many tossing, Yangping Pass was like an insurmountable Great Wall of steel, blocking Huang Zhong's 30,000 troops at the west gate of Hanzhong.

Huang Zhong, who was unfavorable with the army, could only temporarily stop attacking the key points. On the one hand, he sent people to Shuzhong to urge troops, and on the other hand, he thought hard about the enemy's plan to break the enemy. Finally, he wanted to break his scalp, and there was nothing he could do.

Huang Zhong is really painful.

Over the years, he has been guarding Shuzhong under the order of Liu Feng.

Seeing Liu Feng seize Nanyang, go down to Jiangdong, take Huainan, and fall into the Central Plains... Even Zhang Ren and other generals in Shu are in the limelight, but he can't do anything in this ravine.

Although Huang Zhong knew that this was Liu Feng's trust in him, so he asked him to guard Shuzhong, for a general, this loneliness was really difficult.

Now it's easy to hope that there will be a war to fight and meritorious service, but he doesn't want to break the hard bone of Yangping Pass again. Huang Zhong can only admit his bad luck.

Just when Huang Zhong was distressed, General Liu Feng's messenger arrived at the front-line camp and brought Liu Feng's secret plan to break the enemy.
