Chapter 86 Bloody Battle (2)
Chapter 86 Bloody Battle (Part 2)
Shortly after Liu Chan and others left Mianzhu Pass, Deng Ai's Wei army followed. The small soldiers in the Wei formation carried Wang Zuo, Xu Shao and Sun Yu to show off outside the city, and kept shouting and persuading surrender. Most of the Shu soldiers guarding the pass were defeated soldiers on the front line, and they were already depressed. They could not raise any fighting spirit when they saw the heads of their generals.
The defenders of Mianzhu Pass couldn't help but secretly thanked that the Wei army seemed to be mainly surrendering and did not intend to attack in large numbers. Moreover, the opponent's banner was Tian Xu and Deng Zhong, and there was no Deng Ai's banner. The number of Wei soldiers coming was not large, with five or six thousand people. Although Mianzhu Pass was not strong in combat, it was not something that the Wei army in front of him could capture.
No matter how the Wei army screamed outside the city, the generals in Shu on the pass did not respond. His Majesty was about to leave and he specifically instructed that as long as he guarded the pass, the reinforcements from Chengdu would arrive in just two days. It would be a great achievement to defend Mianzhu for His Majesty! There was nothing scary about the Wei army under the city, and Deng Ai did not appear, and it was probably because he was unexpected.
The good times did not last long. The Wei soldiers under the city suddenly stopped shouting and quickly retreated to their original formation. A unit appeared behind Deng Zhong and others, and the general led was Deng Ai! The accompanying Wei army was transporting siege equipment, so the speed was slower than that of Tian Xu and Deng Zhong in the front army.
Some of the equipment used for siege were found in Fucheng's arsenal, and the other was made temporarily. After seizing Fucheng and even the will of Shu people, Deng Ai certainly would not give up such a good opportunity. Therefore, the crowd of people immediately prepared to attack Mianzhu after a short rest.
The Wei army's offensive was extremely rapid, which made the Shu army on the pass frightened. The continuous defeats still remained unstoppable, and fear enveloped the hearts of every Shu soldier. Could it be that Mianzhu Pass, known as the natural danger, could not stop Deng Ai? With this question, the Shu soldiers defended and fought back tremblingly.
After a fierce attack, the generals of the Shu army could not help but cheer. The generals of the Wei army who were repelled from the city ran to Deng Ai's horse and said, "General, the solid terrain of Mianzhu is dangerous and difficult to capture!"
"Barring! Our army opened 700 miles of mountain and defeated 50,000 Sichuan soldiers. The little Mianzhu couldn't get through?" Deng Ai raised his beard and scolded with his eyes.
"The Shu soldiers are on the verge of high ground and defend with danger. It is indeed difficult to get the pass!" Tian Xu and Deng Zhong lowered their heads and distinguished.
"You two go to attack the city again. If you lose, the soldiers will come to see me!" Deng Ai roared.
In desperation, Tian Xu and Deng Zhong had to return to their own army and start the second round of siege. Deng Ai's attitude was understood. Now he seemed to have a brilliant record and took Fucheng and Jiangyou as a supply base. But if he could not reach Chengdu directly, the Jiange army would inevitably be wiped out when the Jiange army turned around. Either he died at this Mianzhu Pass or died when the Jiange Shu soldiers returned to support. The only way to save his life is to break through the pass and continue moving forward!
Seeing the Wei soldiers launching fierce attacks like crazy, the Shu soldiers fought bravely. The tug-of-war lasted for a while, and the Shu soldiers at Mianzhu Pass were shaken, and many people were afraid of being in trouble and wanted to escape early. Once the defense line was loose, the Shu soldiers who were determined to resist suddenly felt the pressure doubled. When a Wei soldiers stepped onto Mianzhu Pass, Mianzhu's defense line completely collapsed, and the psychological defense line of the Shu soldiers burst out.
On one side of Mianzhu Pass, the Wei army swarmed into Mianzhu Pass, and on the other side were Shu soldiers who escaped from Mianzhu Pass like a flood discharge. Guan Yi, Zhang Zun and Li Qiu arrived at this time with more than 3,000 Shu soldiers. The escaped Shu soldiers hurriedly talked about the military situation when they saw their reinforcements. Guan Yi and Zhang Zun and the other generals were extremely anxious when they heard the words, and led the troops to attack Mianzhu Pass.
There were at least 10,000 Wei troops in Mianzhu Pass, while Guan Yi and Zhang Zun only brought 3,000 Shu soldiers. Most of them were soldiers responsible for logistics transportation, and their combat effectiveness was weaker than ordinary soldiers. How could they keep an eye on this fierce battle? Li Qiu was willing to persuade him, but Guan Yi and Zhang Zun were so angry that they could not stop calling. Li Qiu sighed and sent a cavalry to report to Chengdu, collecting the escaped Shu soldiers as the support of the two generals of Guan and Zhang.
Before all the Wei soldiers entered the city, Tian Xu, who was responsible for chasing Shu soldiers, had already killed them from the side where the Shu soldiers fled. It was easy to beat the dogs in the water, but he didn't want to kill a team of Shu soldiers head-on. The two powerful generals in the lead blushed and black-faced, kept shouting, and rushed towards him with one sword and one spear.
Behind him was Deng Ai's army, and Tian Xu thought that the Shu soldiers came to fight desperately. He waved the sword in his hand and brought the generals and Guan Yi around him, and Zhang Zun fought together. Guan Zhang and Zhang were both full of anger. When they saw the Wei army, they were killed. In an instant, seven or eight generals on Tian Xu were all dismayed and died. Tian Xu himself was also sweating profusely by Guan Yi's sword, which was barely saved his life.
Zhang Zun repelled General Wei, and the Pegasus came over and wanted to help Guan Yi with his arm. A general of Wei rushed out of Guanzhong Mianzhu, and took Zhang Zun straight into his hand. Zhang Zun shouted loudly like thunder, and he was shocked and revealed a gap under his hands. Zhang Zun raised his spear and poked the general Wei on the horse, and then repaired the spear to kill Wei General Wei's life.
"Don't hurt my son!" A sad cry followed. When the Wei general Deng Ai saw his beloved son Deng Zhonghe, he was killed by the black-faced Shu general, and he was sad and angry and killed him.
Seeing Deng Ai's appearance, Zhang Zun realized that the person he killed must be Deng Ai's son. Since he had killed his son, he simply got rid of the ones who were me! Zhang Zun rode his horse forward without saying anything, and pushed the spear to block Deng Ai's big sword. Deng Ai was extremely angry and powerful. Zhang Zun was born with a powerful divine power and could not defeat him. The two of them were able to kill each other with a sword and a spear, and they fought to the point of equal battle!
At this time, the Wei army had already passed through Mianzhu Pass to surround the Shu soldiers. The Shu soldiers were uneven, but they were no match for the Wei army. The generals of the Wei army did not dare to be entrusted when they saw the commander's desperate efforts, for fear that Deng Ai would make mistakes and they drove to siege Zhang Zun. Guan Yi on the other side saw this and abandoned Tian Xu and went to support his brothers. Tian Xu was afraid of Guan Yi's bravery, but he also knew that this was a critical moment. He called the soldiers and generals around him to stop Guan Yi from fighting.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qiu on the outside looked back at the defeated army he collected and said, "Guan, Zhang, both generals, are important officials in the court, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to serve the country! I want to go and save me, so would you please go with me?"
Most of the conquered Shu soldiers were soldiers who had to retreat until the end. When they saw Guan Yi and Zhang Zun in the Wei formation, they were all fighting with more than ten Wei generals alone. Hearing what Li Qiu said seriously, the troops arrived: "I hope to go with the general!"
Li Qiu smiled loudly, raised his spear in his hand and shouted, "We will be buried here today, Li Qiu is here!" After saying that, he rushed into the Wei formation first, and more than 600 Shu soldiers behind him also shouted in unison and rushed in.
There were 15,000 Wei soldiers, and Guan Yi and Zhang Zun's command were only 5,600 under Guan Yi and Zhang Zun's command at this time. Although Li Qiu was full of passion, his force was always limited. The soldiers beside him were injured for a long time and it was difficult to fully utilize their combat power. Therefore, before he could meet with Guan Yi, Zhang Zun's two troops, he was surrounded by the Wei army and unable to move.
Zhang Zun's force was slightly inferior to Deng Ai, but he was born with divine power in his prime, so he gradually gained the upper hand. When other Wei generals took turns to surround and kill, Deng Ai refused to relax when he saw Zhang Zun's left and right branch clumsy, and the exquisiteness of the big sword gradually showed up. Zhang Zun circled back and forth between more than ten Wei generals with one man and one horse, even though he was born with divine power, he felt powerless at this time.
Guan Yi saw Zhang Zun in a distance, and felt anxious and excited. He tried his best to kill a general Wei, and then slapped his horse to kill him. When Tian Xu and others saw that Guan Yi was about to break through, they chased him closely. After siege and killed him for so long, they continued to lose their generals. If they didn't take advantage of this time, there would be endless troubles.
The Wei general who was chasing in front looked close to Guan Yi, held the spear in both hands and was about to stab Guan Yi's vest. Suddenly, a big knife flew down quickly. The Wei general had not yet reacted and was chopped down by Guan Yi and his horse. Guan Yi turned his horse's head and ran to Tian Xu and others. Tian Xu and the five or six generals behind him saw Guan Yi dragging his sword to kill the general, and the coldness in his heart broke out. He thorned his teeth and danced weapons to fight Guan Yi again. The situation was very different.
The focus of the siege was on cooperation. At first, the generals of Wei followed Tian Xu as the main force to resist Guan Yi's offensive. The remaining generals stepped forward in batches to attack Guan Yi. Guan Yi was distracted and Tian Xu's pressure was reduced. General Wei went up one after another in batches. Even if the person with poor military power was only stabbed or slashed, he had already made up his position before he could counterattack. Guan Yi was trapped in the middle and overwhelmed. Even if the force was superior, he wanted to kill the general and break the siege.
Now Guan Yi escaped from the siege of Wei generals and rushed over. Tian Xu and others were all in front of Guan Yi, and they could not rescue each other. More importantly, before Guan Yi's big sword fell, who would be sure that this knife was not slashing at him? Two short screams followed by a lot of screams. Guan Yi's big sword killed two Wei generals in a row and drove a horse to Zhang Zun's battle group.
The Wei soldiers in Mianzhu were all trapped in the southern gate to fight the Shu soldiers. Unexpectedly, another Shu soldiers appeared outside the northern gate. The Shu soldiers were only three thousand in a row, but they were in a neat manner and advanced and retreated properly. At a glance, you could tell that it was a well-trained army. A middle-aged general was the first to watch the Mianzhu city gate open with a big knife, and dozens of Wei soldiers were dealing with the bodies, as if they were about to close the city gate. There were constant shouts of killing on the other side, and at the first glance, you could tell that the battle in Mianzhu was not over yet.
The middle-aged general said with a big sword: "I'm afraid that your Majesty's army is trapped by the bandits, and the army will follow me to capture this pass!" More than two thousand Shu soldiers shouted loudly in unison, with great momentum, and the voices came from afar. When the Wei soldiers at Mianzhu Pass saw that the Shu army did not charge, but came slowly in an orderly manner, revealing a strong murderous aura between the troops, and at first glance they were elite troops! The Wei soldiers hurriedly reported to the army in the fight, and quickly cleared the bodies and prepared to close the door and resist guarding.
The battle outside the South Gate was approaching, and all the soldiers led by Zhang Zun were killed. Not only the Wei generals surrounded and killed Zhang Zun, but even the Wei soldiers joined the besieged battle. Zhang Zun raised his spear and stabbed five or six Wei generals to death, but several arrows were also caught on his body. Although he was determined to show his decline, blood flowed out, and the fierce battle caused the wound to affect his skills.
Seeing that Zhang Zun was about to be defeated, Deng Ai did not hide his expression and wanted to kill the black servant immediately. Guan Yi in the distance left the Wei general and rushed into the sea of Wei soldiers. However, the Shu soldiers behind him were unable to do so and were in danger.
