LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 415
Na Vawei's breakthrough naturally fell on his southern front.
As long as he can break through Yangping Pass again and take Nanzheng City again, he will be able to take Hanzhong completely.
Under the middle of the Han Dynasty, the hinterland in the south of the Wei State will be completely exposed to the front of his Han army.
He only needs to command the Yizhou army to go north out of the Qinling Mountains, and he can launch a powerful attack on Longxi and Guanzhong, the essence of the Wei State.
At that time, Cao Cao had only two options.
Either ignore it, or divide your forces to resist.
Ignore it, then his army will move forward, take Chang'an directly, and complete the great achievement of destroying Wei.
Division of troops.
If the "One, Four, Three" division of troops is small, it still can't resist his army.
If there are more troops, the number of people on the front line of Tongguan will be reduced, and Liu Bei's chances of breaking through the pass will explode.
In short, no matter what, taking Hanzhong will have a key boost to the overall situation of Liu Bei's destruction of Wei.
With that in mind.
Guan Yu was furious, so he waved his hand and drank:
"Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately go north and take Yangping Pass!"
Guan Yu gave an order.
The 80,000 Han troops left the pass and continued northward.
The morale of the Han army reached an unprecedentedly high level.
No way, Guan Yu gave too much.
Guan Yu has always been sympathetic to the soldiers, and his salary is higher than that of other Han army corps.
After winning the Sword Pavilion this time, Guan Yu rewarded the soldiers heavily, and did not hesitate to transfer civilian forces to transport a large number of labor and army items from Chengdu.
The soldiers joined the army as soldiers, and they did not have any great ideals, they were just mixed food.
Guan Yu's rewards and punishments are clear, so that the meritorious soldiers can be rewarded in time, and the soldiers are naturally willing to work for it.
Let alone.
The next war will be to capture Yangping Pass, take Nanzheng, and even the whole of Hanzhong.
Before the war, in order to boost morale, Guan Yu repeatedly preached to the soldiers the importance of capturing Hanzhong to the Great Wei to dominate the world.
The soldiers naturally knew how much credit it would take to win Hanzhong.
That's the first thing to do to destroy the country.
With Guan Yu's generosity, what a heavy reward it will be.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.
These soldiers of the Han army are naturally high-spirited, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they can't wait to kill the enemy and fight for merit, and they have won wealth and glory for themselves.
Thereupon.
This group of murderous soldiers went all the way north and went straight to the city of Yangping Pass.
And at the moment.
Under Cao Zhen's order, Zhang Ren was walking all the way north and retreating to Yangping Pass.
Previously, in order to confuse Guan Yu, he had ordered a large number of dummies to be forged in Sword Pavilion City, pretending that his army had not retreated.
Of course, Zhang Ren also knew that his little trick couldn't hide from Guan Yu for long.
Really.
Less than a day after he abandoned the city and retreated north, the southern scout sent back the news that Guan Yu had captured the Sword Pavilion without much effort.
The Sword Pavilion was lost, and Zhang Ren was naturally unhappy in his heart, but he had no choice but to swallow this evil breath.
After all, the 10,000 soldiers under his command were still preserved.
If you insist on defending the Sword Pavilion and are attacked by the Han army in Yinping City from both sides, you will be annihilated.
At that time, even if he escaped back to Yangpingguan alive, he was guilty.
With Cao Zhen's temper, he will cure his own sins.
After all, he disobeyed Cao Zhen's general orders, which led to the annihilation of the 10,000 Wei army...........
Even if Cao Zhen didn't cure him, the 10,000 Wei troops were the Shu soldiers he brought with him when he surrendered to Wei.
Without these descendants, where would I have a foothold in the Wei Kingdom? (If you read a violent novel, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)
So.
At this time, Zhang Ren was glad that he did not act impulsively, and he was still calm at the critical moment, and abandoned the pass and retreated north in time.
Just when Zhang Ren was secretly rejoicing, the southern scout sent back the news again.
Guan Yu had already led the army north out of the Sword Pavilion and followed him straight to Yangping Pass.
"So fast?"
Zhang Ren gasped and was taken aback.
According to his original estimate, after Guan Yu took the Sword Pavilion, he would definitely stay in Guan Cheng for a few days.
On the one hand, it is to rest and recuperate, and on the other hand, it is also to enjoy the pride of capturing the first Xiongguan in Shu.
But I didn't expect it.
On the day that Guan Yu captured Guancheng, he continued to lead his army north and came to pursue him.
"Guan Yu, you are in a hurry to take Yangping Pass!"
Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and immediately understood Guan Yu's intentions.
"General Zhang, what should we do in 1.6?"
Lei Tong was a little panicked.
How strong Guan Yu is, he couldn't be clearer. []
At this time, Guan Yu's army followed behind, and it was possible to catch up at any time.
At that time, his army of 10,000 was about to face the onslaught of 80,000 Han troops.
Is there still a way to live?
He was worried that Zhang Ren would be impulsive and stay to have a hard encounter with Guan Yu and hit the stone with an egg.
"Order, immediately speed up, abandon the baggage, and return to Yangping Pass under the stars!"
Zhang Ren shouted without thinking.
Lei Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He still underestimated Zhang Ren.
