Baishui Pass is right in front of you.

The towering city walls, iron-casting closed doors, and steep rock walls.

Baishui Pass has obviously been rebuilt in recent years. The quality of the previous levels is obviously no longer suitable for the current national conditions. The hard bluestone paved and the thick and strong iron gates, God knows whether there is another world inside. The height of the city wall has been raised to eight meters, making this originally indestructible level a nightmare for all the experts.

Unless you know how to fly, it is difficult not to pay enough to get in.

"Is there any other path to pass?" Huang Zhong asked with a frown when he looked at the Guancheng.

"I'm sorry, if you want to go to Zitong, you must first pass Baishui Pass. There are several other remote paths, but they are all extremely dangerous. Unless you have lived here for more than ten years, most people rarely dare to walk those paths." Feng Jian shook his head regretfully.

"It's a pity that I can't bring in the artillery, but the craftsmen brought a lot of them, and they are still intact now. It only takes five days to make a batch of catapults." Qu Yi comforted the side.

"It took too long, and our supplies were only enough for us to support ten days. In order to ensure the safety of the rear, especially the safe arrival of the baggage troops, we must shut down Baishui within ten days." Huang Zhong shook his head.

"But that wall looks very solid, I'm afraid it's not so easy to hit. Even if there is a heavy catapult, it's unlikely. It's okay to use cannons, but the surroundings are so wet, and it's obviously going to rain again in three or four days." Feng Jian said regretfully.

"It's rainy, many things will be troublesome, so we only have three days to solve the problem... If it doesn't work, we can only choose to retreat." Huang Zhong decisively gave the last ultimatum.

"General, if we come here from afar, sacrifice so many robes, but retreat before we even put down Baishui Pass..." Xu Huang was very unwilling to accept it.

"As the generals, we must be decisive. It is too difficult for Hanzhong to enter Shu. I didn't have any hope at first. At the beginning, there was hope to fight. The main reason is that our soldiers are good at fighting and cannons are helpful. More importantly, according to our intelligence, Baishui Pass is old and it is not difficult to conquer it.

In fact, there was something wrong with our intelligence, and more importantly, the weather was not conducive to us. In order to avoid more robes giving their precious lives in this place, our best choice is to retreat." Huang Zhong sighed. As the head coach of the first army, he was actually even more unwilling to accept it.

So what if you are not willing to give up? If you cannot pull the Baishui Pass before it rains, it is best to retreat immediately. The heavy rain will make the wall more slippery, which is a nightmare for the siege troops, let alone the wall is so strong that it is absolutely indispensable to kill it.

Moreover, before going to the expedition, Huang Zhong and Feng Jian also received instructions that if the attack was too difficult, they would protect the entire team to the greatest extent and retreat calmly.

Obviously, everyone can see that it is difficult to enter Shu from Hanzhong. Liu Bei cheated on the switch and now everyone's IQ has improved a lot, so it is not so easy to cheat on the switch.

What is really suitable is to go north along the Yangtze River, capture Baidi City with this as a stronghold to capture Jianguan, and then gradually advance.

However, there is also an advantage to attack Baishui Pass directly, that is, it is to force Liu Zhang to send military rations to the front line, and 300,000 people can use it. If there is not enough logistical subsidy, Cao Cao and others will not be able to support him, and they will naturally have to withdraw their troops.

From the beginning, Liu Ming did not intend to defeat Baishui Pass, but at the same time he was also holding some luck. After all, he could really defeat him, so he could attack at the same time when he entered Shu in the future.

But everyone miscalculated the damn weather and directly sealed Liu Jun's most destructive firearm.

Of course, the orders obtained by Huang Zhong and Feng Jian will not tell anyone. Once they are spread, it will definitely lead to a drop in morale. Even now, Huang Zhong is actually holding his breath, hoping to conquer this pass.

The next day, Xu Huang asked for a fight and started an attack with the cooperation of powerful crossbow soldiers and strong bowmen.

The main siege equipment for the attack is a simple city hammer. Don’t expect a ladder. Such a high wall-to-block ladder cannot support it.

The powerful crossbow soldiers and strong archers were aiming carefully to ensure that each arrow could shoot an enemy. Under the suppression of the arrow, the enemy could hardly raise their heads. The city hammer took the opportunity to rush out first.

Soon, the city hammer rushed to the city gate and began to hit.

The first time, the door remained motionless.

So he took a few steps back and used all his strength to strike for the second time, but the door remained still, but the soldiers holding the hammer to the city were shocked and their hands were numb.

Looking at the city hammer, the sharp places in front were flattened. Even so, it did not shake the door.

Xu Huang immediately realized that he was afraid that they would seal it with stones behind the gate. Judging from the current situation, he was afraid that it would still be a huge rock.

The difficulty of hitting the door was increased to the nightmare level, which is not the end.

Just as everyone was repeatedly rushing and shooting, more than 600 round stone bullets were fired from the level. On the narrow mountain road, these stone bullets were simply unavoidable.

Soon, they fell into the army formation, and the soldiers tried their best to resist it with their true energy. Even so, nearly a thousand people were killed and hundreds of people were disabled.

This would not be the first wave of attacks. In just three minutes, hundreds of stone bombs were fired in the second wave.

This time, they launched further and closer to Liu's main position, so thousands more died. Even if the other soldiers wanted to hide, there was no suitable place to hide.

The matter was not over yet. A large number of rocks and logs fell down desperately on the mountains on both sides and directly hit the main position. The power was slightly smaller than that of the stone bomb, but with the acceleration of gravity, the lethality was still very considerable. Huang Zhong and others took great pains to avoid these things. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and the soldiers began to panic, Huang Zhong sighed and chose to retreat decisively.

The army retreated to the hills earlier and carefully counted them. There were only more than 6,000 soldiers around. Before the 30,000 people were officially launched, four-fifths of them were missing...

"Baishui Pass, it seems that it can't be defeated for the time being. Everyone is ready to go. Let's retreat. If the lord pursues the matter, I will bear it alone." Huang Zhong sighed and announced solemnly.

"General, no need to do this. Failure is everyone's business, and we will not refuse." Xu Huang took the lead and said.

The soldiers around agreed, and it was obvious that everyone was very unwilling to accept it at this moment.

Just unwilling to give up, so what can I do?

The right time and place are all occupied by the Shu army, so it is difficult to capture Baishui Pass.

The army began to rectify, and then after it was cleaned up, it embarked on the road of retreat. Perhaps it did not want to continue to add to the crime of killing. The Shu army did not pursue it, and the group returned to Hanzhong smoothly.

At the same time, Liu Ming, who had been paying attention to Huang Zhong's army, sighed deeply.

Bashu is indeed a natural dangerous place, and it is really difficult to take it down.
