Amid the rumbling drums, this exquisite military formation slowly advanced towards Yangping Pass.

Above the city of Guancheng, a hint of disdain was revealed in Yang Ren's solemn expression.

"It turned out to be a thunder car." Yang Ren's expression gradually became a little dissatisfied.

When Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong and Yangping Pass, he also used the Thunder Cartridge, but in the end he was futile.

Now that the role changes, Yang Ren, who has personally experienced the failure to siege, naturally felt disdainful when he saw Li Yan also used the Thunderbolt Car.

Despite this, Yang Ren did not dare to look down on him too much. Seeing that the enemy's formation had advanced to the range of the crossbow, he immediately ordered the crossbowman in Guancheng to shoot Li Jun fiercely.

As soon as the drum sounded, arrows fell like rain above Yangping Pass.

That was really falling from the sky. With its condescending momentum, the arrows fired by the Hanzhong army not only increased the range, but also doubled the strength.

Countless arrows were as dense as locusts, and were overwhelmingly towards Li Jun.

Faced with the heavy rain-like arrow attack, the front row of shield hands could only hold the shield high and push forward in fear, but was overwhelmed by the dense rain of arrows.

The crossbowmen hiding behind the shield hands could only barely find opportunities in the gaps in the shield formation. With a gap, the enemy shot more than ten arrows before they could reflect one or two arrows, and they were not accurate at all.

In the first day of the first lunar month, Li Jun's long-range crossbow confrontation was completely suppressed by the Hanzhong army, which was well-known.

However, none of these brave Li soldiers shrank and were still moving forward with difficulty in resisting the enemy's fierce rain of arrows.

After losing hundreds of people, the swords, shields and crossbowmen finally gained the launch distance for the Thunderbolt chariot behind them.

More than 100 thunderbolt chariots quickly loaded the stone bullets under the cover of their companions in front. With a command, the first wave of more than 100 stone bullets rose into the air with the fierce sound of the wind, and roared towards Yangping Pass.

The moment the stone bomb flew into the air, it seemed as if a heavy rain suddenly stopped. The dense rain of arrows on the city stopped instantly. Hanzhong army crossbowmen who were afraid of the stone bomb squatted under the female wall, avoiding the flying bombardment.

Boom boom boom boom

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred stone bullets crashed into Guancheng like a meteor.

For a moment, the sound of the sky collapsed and the earth cracked was like thunder, and the stone chips splashed, making the sound extremely terrifying.

Li Yan's brows froze slightly while watching the game.

Although the thunder chariot was huge, the effect was not very good. From a distance, there were only a dozen soldiers of Hanzhong soldiers who were shot dead by stone bullets on the spot.

It is no wonder that because of the limited technology of building cities in this era, whether it is a city or an ordinary city, it is mostly built with earth, so this thunder chariot can play a huge role when attacking Zengtongjian City.

However, the Yangpingguan City was built by mountains and rocks, and its strength was far greater than that of Zeng Tong's Tucheng.

The stone bombs falling from the sky hit the thick city walls. Although the sound caused was extremely loud, their destructive power was really limited. Apart from bombing away a few edges and corners, they did not actually have a substantial impact on the city walls.

However, the power of this thunder chariot brought Hanzhong troops to amaze them, forcing them to shrink under the wall and dare not show up to fight back.

At this time, the Li Jun crossbowman who was originally suppressed could calmly launch a counterattack towards the enemy city. For a moment, arrow rain and stone rain fell, suppressing the Hanzhong army on the city to the point where they could not raise their heads.

"General, the time has come, and you can attack the city."

The deputy general next to him keenly discovered the fighter jet and said in a speech.

Li Yan raised his horse whip and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum. Attack"

The sound of the war drums in the third way roared.

Li Feng from the front army got the order and raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Shengcheng Team. Strike the city for me."

"kill"

With the loud shouts, the three thousand attack teams rushed forward, carrying the ladder and rushing to Yangping Pass like a tide.

There is no moat in front of Yangping Pass. Li Feng's elite Changsha soldiers can easily advance to the city and start fighting calmly.

But Yang Ren on Guancheng was unmoved and still had a look of confidence.

Because Yang Ren was extremely confident in Yangpingguan’s defense system.

The entire inner city and outer city of Yangping Pass are constructed reasonably, with arrow towers standing in front of the city. The urns are all equipped, and there are also large and small stone villages distributed outside the main city wall, forming a three-dimensional defense system with the main city on the front.

What Li Feng's army is now attacking is just the first line of defense in the outer city of Yangping Pass.

When the Shengcheng team arrived at the city, the Pili car did not dare to fire again, so as not to accidentally bombard his army. At this time, only the thousands of crossbowmen who could provide cover for the siege soldiers were left.

When these elite Changsha soldiers began to erect ladders and began to attack the city, they were surprised to find that the city wall was narrower than the place where they had previously formed the formation.

More than 3,000 Li Jun was crowded under the city, but the space that could be used for climbing the city at one time was only five or six hundred people. The rest of the soldiers squeezed under the city walls all became targets of the Hanzhong Army.

"Everyone stand up and fight back immediately. Who dares to shrink back again? I will be killed immediately!" Yang Ren on the city drew his sword and shouted fiercely, supervising the Hanzhong army.

The bombardment of the stone bomb stopped, and the soldiers of the Hanzhong army dared to stand up and started a counterattack under Yang Ren's command.

For a moment, mumu, Luoshi, and rain-like arrows all descended one after another.

Although the defenders' counterattack was very fierce, these elite Changsha soldiers had a military discipline and had no order to retreat. They were afraid of life and death and continued to bravely climb up the ladder to the city.

However, the strength of the attack could not be exerted, and the crossbowmen under the city could not suppress the enemy's long-range firepower. In addition, the city of Guancheng was extremely high, and after a short period of time, the three thousand elite soldiers lost three or four hundred people, but none of them could successfully climb the city of Guancheng.

Li Yan, who was well versed in military tactics, clearly witnessed the tragic tragedy of his army. He knew very well that Yangping Pass was too dangerous, and if he continued to attack like this, it would only hurt the soldiers.

At this time, the deputy general next to him also said, "General, our purpose of temptation has been achieved. The offensive is not good now, and it is useless to continue to attack hard. Why not retreat first."

Li Yansui ordered the Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

As soon as the sound of gold sounded, the soldiers fighting hard on the front line, as if they were granted amnesty, and after leaving hundreds of corpses, they retreated in an orderly manner.

The Hanzhong Army above the city of Guancheng was relieved when they saw Li's army retreat.

At this time, Yang Ren wanted to take advantage of Li Jun's retreat, take advantage of the situation to break out of the city and fight back.

But Yang Ren soon discovered that Li Jun had been pursuing military discipline, and even if he retreated, he would not see any chaos, so he did not give him the opportunity to pursue his life.

"Li Yan is such a thief, and his military management method is amazing..." Even though it was the enemy, Yang Ren couldn't help but secretly praise Li Yan in his heart.

The three armies retreated, and Li Yan's tens of thousands of troops slowly retreated back to the base camp.

It was already nightfall. After returning to the camp, Pang Tong and the deputy general and several other advisers gathered at Li Yan's central army tent.

"Yang Pingguan is so dangerous, it's probably not easy to attack head-on." The deputy general sighed.

"If you can't attack hard, you can only get ahead of your wisdom. However, facing such a dangerous obstacle, it is not easy to get ahead of your wisdom."

Pang Tong also had a dark brow.

In the big tent, there was silence, and the extremely generals' counselors were all thinking about ways to break the enemy.

At this time, Li Yan, who had been silent, had a mysterious sneer on his lips and murmured: "You don't have to worry about it anymore. I have a plan here that will definitely break Yang Ren.

When everyone heard that Li Yan had a plan, they were immediately excited and all raised their ears and listened attentively.

"Get the map." Li Yan suddenly yelled.

The personal troops from both sides hurriedly spread the huge map and spread it on the open space in the tent.

Li Yan simply went barefoot and used his sword to write, pointing out the country among the mountains and rivers on the map.

"This Yangping Pass is the most dangerous pass in the world. Yang Ren is very good at defending. It is absolutely impossible to break through the pass by force. The only feasible strategy is to lure the enemy into division of troops and fight out of the pass. Only then can our army use a clever strategy."

Li Yan pointed to the map and said.

The deputy general nodded slightly: "The General is very saying, but judging from the wars in recent months, Yang Ren would rather Yang Ang and other side troops be surrounded and refused to send troops to rescue him. I think he was determined to defend Yangping Pass to the death. I want to lure him into division of troops to fight, but I am afraid it will be difficult."

"Hmph, as long as you attack the enemy, you must save me, I don't believe that Yang Ren can still be a turtle with a head-rettened person."

Li Yan sneered.

Will you be saved if you attack the enemy?

Pang Tong and the deputy general looked at each other, with a little suspicion flashing in their eyes, which did not resolve Li Yan's implication for a while.

The sword in Li Yan's hand pointed to the east of Yangping Pass, "The terrain of this Yangping Pass is short in the west and high in the east. If you attack from the east, it will naturally be much easier than now. We can make a fuss from this point."

The eyes of Pang Tong and the others swept toward the east of Yangping Pass as the sword pointed, and the eyes gradually showed a hint of comprehension.

However, Li Yan just gave an introduction, how could the two of them seep in a moment?

The deputy general said half-believingly: "The General's consciousness should be to send a group of troops along the mountain paths and cross the mountains and steep mountains. Then attack Yangping Pass from the east. However, whether it is the Qinling Mountains in the north or the Micang Mountain in the south, it is extremely steep. Even if there is a path, it is extremely difficult to walk. Even if a person can barely walk over, the equipment for siege is difficult to transport. If there is no siege weapon, it is afraid that it will still be impossible to break the pass by with manpower alone."

The deputy general understood Li Yan's previous meaning, but failed to fully understand his meaning.

Li Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "Who said I was going to attack from the east? What I mean is that pretending to attack from the east is actually just to lure Yang Ren to fight."

Pang Tong pondered silently, and the deputy general became more and more suspicious. The two still could not understand Li Yan's overall plan.

The silence has been sold out. Li Yan no longer beat around the bush and decided to point out his intentions to them.
