After a whole night of fighting last night and another half-day of fierce fighting today, the Xiliang army's physical strength is at its lowest point.
Ma Chao snorted: "Even if our army is exhausted, is the Sichuan army our opponent? Have you forgotten the decisive battle half a month ago? This time Liu Zhang is defeated again, I will not let him have a chance to escape, I must conquer Yangping Pass in one fell swoop
.”
"But brother, does it have to be today?"
"How about today? I finally met Liu Zhang with a headache and wanted to die. If I don't agree to Liu Zhang today, not only will the Sichuan barbarians look down on me, but I will also be embarrassed to gain a foothold in Xiliang. Moreover, do you think that after today, when we finish resting, Liu Zhang will
Will he come out again? This old turtle will have an excuse when the time comes. If you don't want a decisive battle, he can stay in the pass with peace of mind. How can I, Ma Chao, save my face? When will we get another fighter plane? "
After finishing speaking, Ma Chao ignored Ma Dai and shouted to Liu Zhang: "It's settled, I'll wait for you here."
Tens of thousands of troops from the Xiliang Army re-arranged, and all the Xiliang cavalry could be seen on the field were moving like a group. The huge flow of cavalry was not stationary anywhere, but it was in good order. Ma Chao's ability to command the cavalry was rare in the world.
Liu Zhang looked at the Xiliang cavalry formation, smiled and said to Fa Zheng next to him: "This guy is really anxious. I even planned to threaten him with Pang De's life, but he is so cheerful."
Fazheng frowned and said: "My lord, there is still no absolute chance of victory in this move. We have a decisive battle outside Yangping Pass. If we lose, the Xiliang army will take the opportunity to cover up and kill us. We have no way out. Are Mrs. Xiao's troops ready?"
Although victory in the decisive battle was much more beneficial than retreating, Fazheng still preferred to retreat to Jinniu Road after defeat. Then Xiao Furong led the barbarian army to block the Guan Tielong line on the wooden platform, completely blocking the Xiliang army.
Liu Zhang patted Fazheng on the shoulder and said: "Xiaozhi, it's time now. Don't look forward or backward. We rely on Yangping Pass. There are advantages and disadvantages. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. There is no way out. The soldiers are united and there is no rear. Xiliang cavalry cannot
After the attack is defeated, you can directly retreat, and the soldiers at the rear only need to guard the city gate. Do you think there are many benefits?"
Liu Zhang smiled at Fa Zheng and said, Fa Zheng sweated a little. It would be easier if the soldiers heard him vomiting blood in anger and thought of how to escape before they were beaten.
In the square behind Yangping Pass, soldiers stood alone, and various types of soldiers stood together in blocks, forming an infantry army with high morale.
Chariot soldiers, strong archers, crossbow soldiers, long-range soldiers, dead soldiers, school swordsmen, waist swordsmen, heavy infantry, and large shield soldiers stood in order, with a stern look on each soldier's face.
Liu Zhang nodded, very satisfied with the soldiers' spirit, and walked towards the city ladder. Guan Yinping followed behind him, his beautiful eyebrows furrowed. At this time, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Sir, how is my sister? You took her
…”
If Liu Zhang nodded, Guan Yinping would immediately give up. But the current situation is that he asked the military camp and the refugee camp and never heard who was executed. Guan Yinping, no matter how stupid he was, knew that he wanted to win over the people and carry out secret executions.
is it possible?
Guan Yinping was worried and couldn't get an answer, so he was extremely anxious.
Liu Zhang did not look at Guan Yinping, but turned to the girl from the Western Regions and smiled: "You played the flute last night, I have to thank you. Look at the soldiers. They were noisy until midnight last night. They are in such good spirits today. Xiliang
The army made a long-distance attack last night, and they suffered a lot."
The girl's flute sound indeed makes it easier for people to fall asleep peacefully and sleep soundly.
The girl pursed her lips and smiled: "Thanks and everything are just a thing of the past. Just remember to send me money and let me go."
"That's natural." Liu Zhang thought to himself, if you were some kind of princess of the Shache Kingdom, it would be a ghost if you let you go.
"Thank you then." The girl thought to herself, it would be strange if you let me go.
Liu Zhang stepped onto the stone steps, faced all the soldiers standing upright, and said loudly: "Soldiers of the Sichuan Army, you are my resistance in Jingyi, and the spears in your hands are the support of the people of Jingyi. Now, Xiliang is rude to you."
Pass, after Yangping Pass, is the place where the people of Jingyi rely on for survival. Your wives, children, parents, are all behind you. Are you willing to watch the Xiliang army break through Xiongguan, and the mountains and rivers are broken?"
"Resist to the death."
"Resist to the death."
The Sichuan soldiers raised their spears and shouted in unison. Compared with a dozen days ago, the morale of the Sichuan army was significantly higher.
"But the Xiliang horse bandits are known as the best horsemen in the world and the most powerful soldiers in the Han Dynasty. They are invincible wherever they go. Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
"Not afraid."
"That's right, we are not afraid." Liu Zhang said loudly: "The Xiliang Army is known as the best soldier in the world. If you defeat it, you will be the best soldier in the world. Our Sichuan Army is the best soldier in the world. We will make all the princes tremble when they hear it.
"In the future, you will be more scared when you encounter our Sichuan Army than when you encounter the Xiliang Army. Do you have this confidence?"
When they started shouting that they were not afraid, there were still many soldiers who had no confidence. Now when they heard "the best soldier in the world" and defeated the Xiliang army, they themselves were the best in the world. No one could resist this temptation.
The Sichuan Army was originally not weak in strength and extremely brave, but it was only when the Xiliang Army was shrouded in the aura of the world's most powerful soldiers and saw Ma Chao's bravery that they became fearful from the bottom of their hearts.
After so many days, watching the Xiliang soldiers die one by one in front of me, most of the fear has faded away. Why can't the most powerful soldier in the world be the Sichuan army?
"The Sichuan army is invincible, the Sichuan army is invincible."
"The Sichuan army is invincible, the Sichuan army is invincible."
The flames of war among Sichuan soldiers were ignited.
Liu Zhang waved his hand, and suddenly many soldiers appeared on the city, pushing corpses off the city wall and falling in front of the Sichuan soldiers. These were the Xiliang soldiers who were annihilated last night.
Liu Zhang said loudly: "Have you seen it? This is the Xiliang Army. They are also human beings. We are also human beings. They will die. We can kill them. Yes, we have nothing to fear. What we have to do is
Turn the Xiliang soldiers who invaded the country outside the Yangping Pass into corpses like these, and let these horse bandits who invaded the country for no reason reunite with their families in the Palace of Hell. The Sichuan army will be invincible."
Liu Zhang hissed out four words, and the Sichuan soldiers shouted in unison: "The Sichuan army is invincible." All the soldiers had big mouths, deafening, and the sound penetrated the customs defenses. Even the Xiliang soldiers outside the customs were awe-inspiring.
Guan Yinping looked at the corpses of the Xiliang soldiers and frowned. The so-called princes would do whatever they could to achieve their goals.
"Okay, as long as we are determined to win, the Xiliang Army is no match for us. Moreover, let me tell you, the Xiliang Army thinks so too. They also know that they cannot defeat us. For example, Pang De, the number one general in Xiliang,
You have decided to join our army."
"Ah, Pound surrendered?"
"It's true or false, it's impossible."
The soldiers of the Sichuan Army all had expressions of disbelief, and Guan Yinping also had a look on his face. Pound was the bravest general in the Xiliang Army besides Ma Chao. He had followed Ma Teng for more than ten years and was loyal to Ma Chao. No matter what, how could Pound be possible?
