    Chapter 134 "Win the Level and Win the Level"

    The pioneers are of course the three generals Wu Tu Gu, Tu An and Xi Ni. Not only because they are familiar with the terrain and language, but also because they have considerable appeal in the Ugo Kingdom. Some local natives have long heard rumors that Yizhou was  The "old" king, who had been beheaded and killed, came back and came out to greet them.  []

    After knowing the true situation, they all cursed the current king Wu Tu Tie as an ungrateful villain. They also complained to Wu Tu Tie that Wu Tu Tie had recruited almost all the men from every family in order to fight this battle.  fact.  It can be said that in all the surrounding villages, there are only a few men who went into the mountains to hunt without receiving the call-up order and did not go to join the army to fight. There are only some old, weak, sick and disabled at home eating the small surplus food.

    But even these few men took the initiative to tell the Wutugu army about the situation of the defenders and offered to lead the army.  In order to win over people's hearts, Xu Shu immediately ordered his soldiers to distribute food to the poor people, and the military doctors who were temporarily unable to save lives and heal the wounded treated the sick and disabled. As a result, Xu Shu's army had not penetrated very far into the Ugo Kingdom, and his reputation as a benevolent and righteous teacher spread.  Covered most of Ugo country.

    In this way, Xu Shu's army progressed very quickly and smoothly.

    Not long after, what appeared in front of Wutugu¡¯s 10,000 vanguard troops was a newly built level.  The rebels who escaped from Yizhou and the Ugo soldiers were guarding the top.  Seeing Wu Tu Gu, the morale of the local soldiers dropped to the extreme. If it were not for the discipline, they would have turned against him long ago.  In sharp contrast, the rebels who were originally guests behaved very positively and cursed at the sight of the rude troops.  When he saw them approaching, he fired arrows as hard as he could.

    Wutu Gu was not in a hurry to attack the key point, and set up camp not far from the checkpoint, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army.  Soon, in addition to the thousands of soldiers left behind at the border, Xu Shu's army arrived in front of the pass.  They faced off with Wutu Tie's more than 10,000 garrison troops here.

    Among the more than 10,000 garrison troops, there are only more than 3,000 local soldiers, but there are as many as 7,000 rebels from Yizhou, almost all the rebels who fled here.  It is estimated that this was a decision the rebels had no choice but to make after seeing clearly the situation in the Ugo Kingdom: there are not many decent cities in the small Ugo Kingdom, and even the capital of this country is only slightly better than the county towns in the interior.  Strictly speaking, other cities are not cities.  The city wall is simply an earthen embankment, so it probably won't be a big problem to deal with 80 Bai'er people.  But no matter how many attacking troops there are, there will be nothing we can do.

    Wutu Tie has been on the throne for several years. Apart from killing thousands of people, he has no political achievements. This has made the whole country resentful and angry. In addition, the area is small, and Xu Shu's tens of thousands of troops cannot face each other on the ground.  He doesn't have the capital to fight hard, and he doesn't have the confidence to lure the enemy deep.  The only thing that could stop the attacker now was the level in front of him and the capital city behind him.  This level is even more important than the capital city. If it collapses, the capital city can be surrounded by Xu Shu's army at any time. Either the city will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed, or the country will be trapped to death.

    Therefore, the rebels put all their efforts into this level, turning a blind eye to the local soldiers who were unable to work and letting them rest in the back. The rebels themselves acted as the main force of the defense.

    After Xu Shu arrived, he first inspected the terrain for a long time, and then went to the local area to learn a lot about the situation.  Decidedly ordered: "Prepare to attack!"

    The fierce battle began on the fourth day after the army arrived.

    As the war drums of Xu Shu's army beat, the spirited Yizhou soldiers began a fierce charge. In front were the combat soldiers holding shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, followed closely by the archers, and behind them were the ladder troops, and then  Behind them are the wells and catapult soldiers.

    The soldiers rushed to a place not far from the checkpoint and shouted in unison.  Arrows from both sides immediately filled the sky.  When the Yizhou soldiers rushed to the ground at the Guan Wall, a rain of stones, countless pieces of wood, boiling oil, and lime were immediately thrown down on the city wall, filling the entire space in front of the city wall.

    A soldier rushed to the front. He used his shield to block the arrows fired from above while waiting for the ladder to be set up. When the ladder was placed against the wall, he climbed straight up, but he did not stare at the stairs for a few steps.  A large log rolled down from above, knocking him down with his shield. The lower end of the shield penetrated his abdomen due to the impact of the log, and blood and intestines gushed out.  Before he was dead, he was lying on the ground humming.  A ladle of boiling oil fell from the sky.  Sprinkled on his face, shield, and wounds on his abdomen, he immediately turned into a burning man.  He was quickly swallowed up by Lie Shuo.

    But the defenders did not relax. Under the attack of the Yizhou army's wells, catapults, and the shooting of countless strong bows on the ground, the defenders fell down one after another howling, stacked together with the corpses of the attacking Yizhou soldiers.  There must be more bodies that did not fall.

    By this point in the battle, the level has completely turned into a life-strangler.  Live soldiers were added in, and what came out soon were tattered corpses or wounded with missing parts, stones on the city walls, and city foundations.The ground was sprinkled or flowed with pungent blood everywhere.

    The attack on the checkpoint had been going on for about an hour, and the corpses of more than two thousand soldiers had been piled up under the city wall. Xu Shu, who was standing behind to supervise the battle, stared at the enemy troops on the city wall who seemed to be slacking off with cold eyes. He gritted his teeth and said:  "superior!"

    After listening to Xu Shu¡¯s words, Tu¡¯an and Xi Ni, as the first generals to climb the ladder, responded loudly: ¡°Yes!¡± They grasped the weapons in their hands and rushed forward.

    The fastest one was Xi Ni. After Zicheng surrendered to Liu Jia's troops along with Wutu Gu, he stayed in Zoke County or Xinggu County. Pang Tong's army took many away from here when they returned to the carbine.  The soldiers went to fight Zhou Yu, but Pang Tong did not transfer him because he took the initiative to fight. Instead, he asked him to continue to lead the troops here to guard against the rebels and Wutu Tie's troops.  Now Wutu Gu and Tu'an have made many military exploits, but he has not made any achievements and has not even killed a single person. Although others praise him for being loyal to his duties, he is not happy.  Now I finally have a chance to make a meritorious deed, can you not perform well?

    Today, he chose a three-foot-long steel knife. While shouting to kill, he pushed aside the crowd and rushed forward. Behind him, a new force that was not afraid of death gathered under his leadership.  He stepped over the walls of the city. Perhaps the stones were

    The corpse, which was smashed to pieces by the hammer, jumped over the rocks that were smashed from it.  He avoided the falling logs from the city wall and finally climbed up the wet ladder.

    Xi Ni didn¡¯t look to see why the ladder was wet, because he knew without looking that what was flowing on the ladder was either the blood and brains of the soldiers or the boiling oil spilled by the enemy. Of course, it could also be the urine of the soldiers who were scared.

    He kept shouting and kept climbing up and down, and the knife in his right hand was dancing flexibly, deflecting the bows and arrows that were shot at him or the stones that were thrown at him.

    Suddenly Xi Ni¡¯s vision went dark, and then he felt a sharp pain in his left hand holding the ladder.  His eyes glanced at his left hand involuntarily.  It turned out that the head of a soldier from an unknown party was chopped off and fell off, hitting the back of his left hand.  It rolled back into his arms, sandwiched between the ladder and his body.  Glancing at the bloody head between the ladder and the body, Xi Ni gently pulled it to the side with his left hand and continued to climb up without looking. The head with wide eyes immediately continued like a stone.  It fell downwards.

    Although Xi Ni was still some distance away from the one above him and was blocked by that head just now, he still quickly caught up with the soldier in front of him.  Xi Ni had to slow down.  At the same time, he shouted: "Climb quickly! Kill!"

    The defenders also noticed Xi Ni, because under his influence, the momentum of the Yizhou soldiers' attack increased instead of falling, and the shouts became louder and louder, so more of them began to greet Xi Ni.  Zhang Yunti.

    Arrows and stones flew whistling around the body from time to time, and the cool breeze they brought hit the faces of Xi Ni and other soldiers. Even the soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time were frightened by the cool breeze.  Soldiers climbing around continued to fall, and some ladders simply broke in the middle.  The soldiers in the air fell unwillingly. Some of the soldiers in the air were shouting and the knives in their hands were flying

    The most terrifying thing is that hot boiling oil is poured down from the hijab. The person who is hit can only scream once or twice before dying immediately, and the flesh on his face will soon fall off.

    Falling down to reveal the white bones.

    But no one thought about this at this time, especially Xi Ni who just kept climbing up.  Suddenly he heard a popping sound from the person on the ladder.  It was like the sound of a sweet potato scoop full of water hitting the ground and breaking, followed by a burst of red blood.

    Xi Ni knew what happened above without guessing.

    What happened - the person crawling in front of him must have had his head broken by a stone or wood thrown by the defenders.  He deftly moved his body to the side. He knew that the man above him was about to fall. The reason why he did not fall immediately was because his hand was still holding on to the ladder and no new objects hit him.  , I believe that soon his hand will lose strength or something else will hit him.

    Sure enough, as soon as Xi Ni¡¯s body moved away, the ¡°person¡± above leaned back.

    The body and the newly "received" stone fell straight from Qiu Xianniu's side.

    The soldier crawling behind Xi Ni was obviously not as experienced as Xi Ni, let alone as lucky as Xi Ni.  He was hit alive by a corpse weighing more than a hundred kilograms and a stone weighing more than ten kilograms. Although he managed to struggle a few times, he was still carried away by the heavy corpse.  but.  Because of his struggle.  He and the corpses piled on him fell from the ladder, without affecting the soldiers climbing behind.

    When Xi Ni returned to his position.  The dull sound of bodies falling to the ground was heard.  He didn't seem to listen?, but held his head high and continued climbing.  He knew that he was almost reaching the crenellations of the city wall. One foot of the soldier at the top of the ladder had even begun to step out, preparing to jump into the wall.

    Xi Ni glanced at the other ladders with his peripheral vision and found that many people had climbed to his position. Although Tu'an was about a body behind him, there seemed to be fewer defenders there than here. Maybe he was ahead of him.  Going up.  Seeing this, Xi Ni gritted his teeth and climbed a few more levels. At this time, he had forgotten to shout and was only preparing for the final fight.

    At this time, he heard another pop, which was the sound of a sharp weapon hitting the vagina, followed by a painful scream and a stern curse: "***! Get down!"

    Before the curse could be heard, the soldier who had just climbed in front of Xi Ni and had one leg up the wall was stabbed in the chest by a guard's spear, and his still-not-dead body was immediately thrown down by the general.

    Before the general could take back his spear, he found Xi Ni's body emerging from the crenel.  He was stunned.  The Prime Minister rushed towards Xi Nizha without even thinking.  Because the gun was stuck into the ground without being retracted, he first stretched out his hands as much as he could, and took a big step forward with his legs, until his knees hit the female wall before he retracted his body.  When Xi Ni saw the spear stabbing him in the cold light, he quickly turned sideways. The tip of the spear grazed the armor on his chest and pierced Xi Ni's left arm.  Blood spurted out all at once.

    The guard used his full strength, and Xi Ni's body was pushed back by the spear.  Although Xi Ni's right hand grabbed the ladder in a hurry and did not fall, the ladder carrying his weight was taken away from the city wall - Xi Ni was suddenly soaring into the clouds.

    Seeing that the ladder was about to collapse, Xi Ni, out of an instinct to survive, let go of the ladder with his injured hand and quickly climbed up, grabbed the long gun that was being recovered, and at the same time yanked it into his arms.

    The general was stunned again, and at first he instinctively pushed into his arms.  But he immediately understood the stupidity of what he was doing - the ladder was leaning back under its own pulling force - and in turn, he pushed the gun outwards and said with a cruel smile: "Go to hell!"

    But the situation was not what the guard thought: the ladder fell down again.  Instead, he continued to fall towards the wall. Although the guard did not see clearly why this happened, Xi Ni knew clearly: with the force of the guard's pull just now, not only did he pull out the spear stuck in his arm, but also the ladder.  Stop falling backward and return to falling forward.  When the guard understood and pushed forward violently, Xi Ni's injured left hand was no longer able to hold the spear and stretched out, and the guard used all his strength in the air.  He just threw the spear over the wall.

    Just because of the strength, the guard's body suddenly leaned forward. He was already leaning against the female wall with his knees, and he was almost carried away from the wall by his own strength and fell down. Fortunately, his reaction was flexible and he was able to move most of the way out of the body.  , holding a wall stack tightly with both hands.

    It was his luck not to fall.  But it was his misfortune to pull Xi Ni's ladder back. Just when he stood up happily, Xi Ni's big knife had already slashed on his neck, and the head exposed on the crenellation fell in response to the knife, and Xi Ni jumped  Stepped up onto the wall.

    Before the man could stand still, the defenders immediately pounced on him, and several bows were aimed at him.  Xi Ni howled loudly and rushed forward desperately.  He cut off one person's head, but he himself felt his head was cold, and his back and lower back felt a huge pain after being hit by an arrow.

    At this time, thunderous shouts came from the city:

    "Come on! General Xi Ni has rushed to the level!"

    "Xi Ni killed a guard!"

    "General Tu'an is also coming up!"

    "Our men come up!"

    "rush!"

    Once the level is opened, a crack will appear.  The weak defenders were naturally unable to make repairs.  After all, these rebels are not soldiers in the regular army, and they can still fight with their level.  Without the advantage of terrain, there is only the possibility of being massacred.  If those local soldiers can actively participate in the war, with their strong bodies that have been fighting beasts in the mountains all year round, they may be able to delay the victory of Xu Shu's army to some extent, but Wutu Tie, who has no popular support and military morale, will not be able to get the desperate efforts of his soldiers.  Support: When the second group of generals, including Wu Tugu, Yan Yan and others, climbed up the Guanqiang, except for a few rebels who thought they had committed serious crimes and were still resisting desperately, the rest of the soldiers chose to surrender.  Out of more than 3,000 local soldiers, only more than 40 people were killed or injured in this battle. This has to be said to be a miracle.

    After the soldiers cleaned the battlefield, Xu Shu ordered the soldiers to knock down this recently built checkpoint.  Then he led his army and continued to advance towards the hinterland of Ugo.

    Everyone knows that in front of the Ugo capital, there are two wooden

    "City Wall"

    The small town in Yizhou would disappear without Xu Shu's effort. The main factor of Yizhou's troops approaching the capital city was Xu Shu's marching speed.

    Just when Xu Shu was like a broken bamboo, he attacked the big and smallDuring the Ugo Kingdom, Cao Cao and Ma Chao's armies far away from Tongguan also launched a fierce battle to seize the pass.  However, this kind of fierceness is only for Ma Chao's troops, and Cao Jun's troops don't seem to be fierce yet.  The initiative on the entire battlefield seemed to be in Cao Cao's hands before the war started. When Cao Cao wanted Ma Chao to quickly mobilize troops from other places, he sent troops to storm Guancheng, and the most used ones were well traps and catapults.  , there are not many cases where soldiers are actually sent to climb ladders.

    Ma Chao¡¯s troops were not used to defending the city. They were used to charging in groups on horseback to massacre the enemy.  In this way, we passively defend the wall day and night, and when the enemy comes, we will smash stones.  Shooting bows and arrows, the enemy could only stare blankly when they retreated, but Cao Cao interfered day and night, causing him to sleep poorly and eat poorly. He was really annoyed.  When Cao Cao slightly increased the intensity of his attack, they had no choice but to keep asking for reinforcements and asking Ma Chao to arrange for him to take turns to rest.

    The biggest problem in the alliance is injustice.  This military group defended the city for several days.  Although not many people were killed or injured, they saw that others only stayed for a few days before taking a rest, so they insisted on taking a rest.  And those who participated in fierce competition as soon as they came up.  Naturally, a group with more soldiers killed and wounded was not willing to defend for the same length of time. When the leaders heard that their own soldiers had suffered more casualties and they were still required to hold on, they felt it was unfair and immediately asked others to replace them

    But how can this kind of thing be so fair?

    Ma Chao, the leader, was busy coordinating these chores before the war.  I was really annoyed, but I didn't dare to lose my temper too much, so I could only try to persuade him patiently.  If you ask a strong general who only knows how to fight to do ideological work, you are undoubtedly torturing him, so Ma Chao scolded these guys in his heart who could not achieve anything big while hoping that the war would break out as early as possible.  Let him vent his anger on the battlefield.

    Although the battle did not start as quickly as Ma Chao wanted, not long ago, Ma Chao suddenly discovered that the large force of Cao's army in front of the pass was missing, and they were all moving towards the back of his own team.  Ma Chao was startled and led his troops to pursue him. Although he killed Cao Cao who had personally cut off the rear, Cao Cao had no choice but to gain a strategic advantage and had to lead his army to abandon Tongguan and retreat to Weikou.

    At this point, Ma Chao and Cao Cao's army officially entered the stage of surrender without fighting.  Both sides began to set up their troops, ready to fight at any time.  Only then did Ma Chao really realize that the revenge for killing his father was not so easy to repay, and the only way to survive was to fight hard. Only then did he remember that he should win over more allies, and it seemed that Liu Jia in Chengdu should also inform him, if necessary.  Ask him to borrow some food and grass or use his territory to take a detour.

    Relatively speaking.  Liu Jia and Pang Tong in Chengdu were much more relaxed.

    They have just received news that the emperor has made Sun Quan the King of Wu and Liu Bei the Marquis of Jing'an.  Let¡¯s talk together about what Cao Cao meant by doing this and what was his purpose?  If Cao Cao so alienates the relationship between Sun Quan and Liu Bei, how will Sun Quan and Liu Bei react? Will it lead to civil strife in Soochow?

    While they were discussing, the news of Xu Shu's success also arrived. Liu Jia said happily: "Haha, I'm afraid this Wu Tu Tie has no way to escape. Why did Yuan Zhi go against the norm and attack the checkpoint this time?"

    Pang Tong smiled and said: "The winner is always right. Since he captured it, he is right. The defenders only have the lives of the rebels, so their strength is one-third smaller. The level is newly built, so it must not be very high.  The material preparations for guarding the border are not enough. Only a strong attack can waste the least time. It can also give the soldiers and civilians of the Ugo Kingdom an obvious reminder of the biggest difficulty. Our army is not afraid either."

    Liu Jia smiled and said: "Seeing that this level is gone in an instant, Wutu Tie is afraid that he won't be able to sleep from now on. There are also many Wutu veterans in his city. Will he kill them in advance?"

    Pang Tong smiled and said: "I don't know. But one thing is for sure. He will never sit in the capital and wait for death. Otherwise, I really hope he can rescue him and never run away."

    Liu Jia looked at the map and asked: "Since he has become a king and has enjoyed the taste of a king for so long, he should not choose to flee. That would be worse than the prince who was Wu Tugu's subordinate before. What he is most likely to do is to use blackmail as a weapon.  He pledged some of his land as collateral and asked other countries for help."

    Pang Tong also said: "The reinforcements he wants now are only available from Myanmar. There are only hundreds or thousands of other tribes. They will not be of any use to our troops. Now Tong is worried that Myanmar will not send reinforcements."  Come out and put the Wutu Iron in, get tens of thousands of soldiers, and come back to fight with us in the future."

    Liu Jia shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. This Myanmar country has always been ambitious and has annexed many small tribes in the past few years. They should take advantage of our long journey to use the city to attack our army, and then eat us. If  If they don't attack us together with Wu Tu Tie now, and then attack us after we settle down and build the city wall, they won't be able to do anything even if they have Wu Tu Tie's tens of thousands more soldiers."

    Pang Tong said: "In this way, Tong also thinks that the Myanmar National CongressSoldiers, maybe their soldiers are already gathering.  OK!  It will definitely be a heart-wrenching battle"

    At this time, the guard hurriedly came in and said: "Report! Ma Chao's special envoy wants to see you!"
