The reports from Xu Huang and Zhao Yun have been sent to Zhou Cheng.

After Zhou Cheng read it, he said to Xu Fang:"Inform Gongming and Zilong and ask them to avoid contact with Yuan Jun as much as possible."

Zhou Cheng has always avoided going to war with Yuan Shu. This is not because he is afraid of Yuan Shu, but because Yuan Shu thinks that Zhou Cheng is afraid of him..

Zhou Cheng never stopped regarding Yuan Shu's"literary attack".

And Yuan Shu is also very wise. He has always been arrogant and believed that Zhou Cheng did not dare to fight with him.

Of course, this is a good thing. The more arrogant Yuan Shu is, the more helpful it will be for Zhou Cheng.

When Yangzhou and Yuzhou fell into Yuan Shu's hands, it was no different than temporary storage.

Yuan Shu is a pure idiot. It is not difficult to defeat Yuan Shu.

As for Cao Cao, although he fled to Jingzhou, Liu Biao appeared to be"kind and honest".

Cao Cao will not have a good time when he arrives in Jingzhou.

Unless Cao Cao can win over the wealthy families in Jingzhou and get their support

……

The end of November 195 AD.

Although Cao Cao adopted Xun You's strategy and dispersed to break through.

However, Zhou Cheng was determined to pursue him, so he killed more than 23,000 Cao's troops and captured more than 30,000.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others were only able to escape with their lives by leading a very small number of troops and horses into the mountains and forests.

In early December, Zhou Chengcai ordered the pursuit to stop.

Guo Si, with the support of Zhou Cheng, sent 20,000 troops to attack Hangu Pass.

In front of Hangu Pass, trebuchets are lined up.

When Cao's army was defeated, a large amount of baggage was left on the road, and Zhou Cheng captured it all.

Zhang Xiu was at the gate, looking at so many trebuchets, well railings, and Linchong outside the gate, and he felt panicked.

"put!"

Dozens of kilograms of stone bullets flew towards Guan Guan one after another, instantly knocking down the defenders of Guan Guan and knocking them off their backs. Before

Zhang Xiu could catch his breath, arrows from Rouran cavalry and Xianbei cavalry flew to the top of the city.

Flying stones , suppressed by arrows.

At this time, the trebuchet continued to push forward, and the stone bullets were replaced by kerosene cans of the same weight.

Every time a kerosene can landed on the top of the city, it would burn into a sea of ​​fire.

Zhang Ji In order to capture Chang'an, 15,000 people were taken away, leaving less than 4,000 people to guard Hangu Pass.

Guo Bang sent his nephew Guo Huai to lead an army of 20,000 people, supported by Zhou Cheng's Shenji Battalion.

On top of the city The army and horses suffered heavy losses.

Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji and defeated Huangfu Song, but he did not expect that after Guo Si and Zhou Cheng joined forces, the offensive would be so fierce.

Because of the craftsmanship system, the craftsmen's bodies and It has been greatly improved.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng's trebuchet has been improved. In terms of shooting, accuracy, and firing speed, it is better than ordinary trebuchets.

At this time, the stone bullets of the trebuchet are like ice cannons. , and smashed them together in one place.

Guo Huai shouted:"Attack the city!

Guo Huai sent 5,000 troops and horses, pushing the well railings, Linchong, and erecting ladders, and quickly approached Hangu Pass.

"Bed crossbow!"

"Trebuchet ready!"

Zhang Xiu held his neck and shouted loudly.

Bang!

There was a loud noise in his ears, and a stone bullet hit the soldier beside him. When it hit the ground, it made a crater, which made Zhang Xiu's eardrums tremble. , he shook his head and looked down the tower

"kill!"Kill!""

I saw a large number of soldiers and horses coming to kill me.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly shouted:"Fire the arrows, open the arrows!"

……

In December 195 AD, Zhang Xiu defended Hangu Pass for ten days, trying to buy time for Zhang Ji.

However, the guard in Chang'an City was Huangfu Li, Huangfu Song's nephew.

Although Huangfu Song died, Huangfu Li still did not give up.

Moreover, there was a large amount of baggage and food left in the city, and Huangfu Li organized young people and civilians in the city to go to the city.

Zhang Ji was anxious when he heard that Guo Si was attacking Hangu Pass. Then he went into battle personally and commanded the entire army to attack Chang'an.

"The first one to climb the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

Zhang Ji shouted loudly. In order to boost his morale, he rode his horse and was already close to the city wall.

Whoosh!!!!

At this time, a shower of arrows came, and two of them hit Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji fell off his horse.

"General!"

"General!"

After Zhang Ji fell from his horse, the surrounding Xiliang sergeants immediately came to rescue him.

……

Hangu Pass, Zhangji Mansion.

Zhang Ji's wife, Mrs. Zou, was in the room. She suddenly felt uneasy, and the needle in her hand also pricked her hand.

The maid on the side saw it and hurriedly gave Mrs. Zou a silk handkerchief.

"Not good, not good……"

"Zhou Jun came in!"

At this time, the servant's panicked voice came from the courtyard.

Mrs. Zou said:"Xiao Tao, go out and take a look."

The maid Xiao Tao went out immediately.

There was a commotion outside the courtyard.

Xiao Tao frowned and asked,"What happened?"

Xiao Tao is Mrs. Zou's personal maid, so she has a very high status in the house.

A maid replied:"The Zhou army came in."

Xiao Tao scolded:"How can you talk nonsense? How can the Zhou army enter the pass with a major general guarding it?"!"

Although Guo Si and Zhou Cheng joined forces to attack Hangu Pass, Hangu Pass is the most powerful pass in the world and the terrain is dangerous. Even Huangfu Song could not forcefully break through the pass. At this time, Zhang Xiu was seen riding a horse. , arriving in front of the mansion, Zhang Ji said to Xiao Tao and others:"Prepare the carriage quickly and take the wife away!"

At this time, Zhang Xiu was covered in blood. He had just come down from the pass.

There were insufficient troops at Hangu Pass, and Zhou Cheng sent the prisoners of Cao's army in the Death Fight Camp to attack fiercely. Finally, Hangu Pass was breached.

Now Cao Jun in the Death Fight Camp The prisoners have already entered the border. If we don't evacuate, it will be too late.
