Cao Zhen looked up and looked at the narrow sky, "Send the order...Li Mancheng, he will not be fooled..."

Cao Zhen understood Li Dian’s choice.

Now Li Dian can stabilize and not attack Sandian County before, but now he can also stabilize and not pursue him.

For Cao Zhen, Li Dian, who is not greedy for merit, does not advance rashly, and is like a stone wall in front of him, cannot be shaken at all.

Seeing that Cao Zhen had made up his mind, the guard stood up and went to pass the order.

Facing such an extremely calm opponent, Cao Zhen really had a headache.

The detour is obviously not done.

Although the Di guide said before that there is another road that leads to the rear of Mulan Pass, but...

Cao Zhen glanced at his subordinates who were about to retreat and sighed in his heart.

If the march failed, the ambush was not successful, and the morale had already fallen to an extremely low. If Cao Zhen had not led the elite and his own troops, there would have been a possibility of mutiny in the middle of the night.

With such soldiers, if you go over mountains and ridges, you will have to go deeper alone, at least Cao Zhen can't do it.

So we can only withdraw our troops, but if we continue like this, Cao Zhen will have to fight to the death in Mulan.

After such a fight, Cao Zhen also understood that on Mulansai, there were definitely not just the soldiers on the surface of the military camp. Li Dian must have hidden soldiers somewhere. Therefore, every time Cao Zhen attacked Mulansai, it meant that he could not achieve the effect of destroying the defenders with continuous attacks. Instead, Li Dian used Mulansai's geographical advantage to destroy Cao's army!

Therefore, attacking Mulansai became the worst strategy.

It’s not possible to detour, and it’s not cost-effective to attack.

Could it be that the battle in Hanzhong will stop here?

Cao Zhen was unwilling to give up.

He thought hard, and suddenly, he thought of an idea...

A strategy that might be able to take advantage of this failure.

But soon, Cao Zhen felt a little uneasy again. What would he do if the plan still fails to succeed?

The sun gradually sets westward, taking away the hustle and bustle of the day.

Cao Zhen stood on the hillside, and suddenly felt a little sadness in his heart.

All the fatigue, all the running and all the struggle seemed to turn into a sigh like smoke at this moment, dissipating in the evening breeze.

But Cao Zhen also knew that he was not qualified to be depressed now.

He must use his words and deeds to tell all the soldiers of the Cao army that after every dusk, there is a dawn waiting.

Cao Zhenqiang cheered up, raised his head, then laughed and faced his subordinates.

No matter what, he will find the brilliance of tomorrow from the afterglow of the setting sun...

...

...

『Kill! Kill!』

From Tongguan, Zhu Ling's roar came.

There are many corpses in the lower city of Tongguan.

Cao's army's unconcerned life and death attack almost turned the walls and battlements of the lower city of Tongguan into red.

The defenders suffered a considerable loss.

Zhu Ling's armor was stained with countless blood stains, and there were still some parts where the armor was missing and there was no time to fill it.

With the support of the artillery that was rebuilt to cover the snow shed, Cao's offensive was slightly controlled, but after getting used to the roar of artillery...

In other words, the continuous attacks of Cao's military, civilians and soldiers, and soldiers also brought heavy pressure to the Tongguan defenders.

"The cavalry won thousands of victories!"

『Kill!』

Zhu Ling's battle knife slashed hard at the chest of a Cao army soldier who was rushing up, and immediately cut his breastplate, cutting out a wound that was deep enough to see the bone.

The soldiers of Cao's army howled and tried to fight back before death, but were stabbed into the stomach by Zhu Ling's guards and pushed them off the city wall.

Another Cao army soldier faced Zhu Ling and others who were fiercely striking, and he jumped onto the wall in a panic. Just as he was about to jump down, two spears quickly passed through his body and fixed him on the wall. The Cao army soldier covered the wounds that were pierced, and sprayed blood at the Cao army soldiers outside the city, screaming, and blood splashed like rain.

Seeing the tragic situation, the Cao army soldiers who were climbing up the city couldn't help but retreat.

Seeing this, Zhu Ling laughed and became more and more crazy. He led his guards to advance from one section of the city wall to another section, and cut down or drove all the Cao army soldiers who had finally climbed up.

For a moment, Cao's army's offensive momentum was interrupted.

There was a lot of cheers on the top of the city.

Zhu Ling looked around and wiped the blood stained with flesh and bones on the sword, and then pushed the Cao army's body to the city, "Sweep the battlefield! Prepare for rotation!"

The cheers gradually stopped, and then there was a moaning sound.

『Doctor! Here!』

A shout sounded.

Teams of medical staff rushed to the top of the city, regardless of the blood and corpses on the wall, checked the wounded and treated the on-site. Then groups of people carried the wounded down the city and moved them to the rear for treatment.

The defenders have the advantage, but it does not mean that they can be completely exempted from damage.

There is still hope of treatment when injured, but some soldiers died directly and could not even be rescued.

Either by accidentally protruding your head or accidentally stepping on the air under your feet, your life will disappear.

Recklessly, blood rushed to his head, lost his mind, and died.

The timid ones will deform their movements when fighting, and their defenses will not be in place, so they will die.

I was lucky, but I was still dead even though I was obviously not wrong...

The place in Tongguan is like a sieve, or a grinding plate of flesh and blood.

The defenders who can survive now are like steel that is tapped again and again, tough and brave, and indomitable.

Under such a cruel battle, most of the Tongguan defenders knew how to exchange the smallest injuries for the greatest results. Those skills that were originally difficult to integrate on the training ground were gradually imprinted in their bloodline.

Zhu Ling patrolled the city wall, picked two swords that were not damaged and inserted behind him.

Not only him, but also Zhu Ling's guards, and some other guards in the city, were also doing the same.

In the game, the battle will be unparalleled, and the sword tips are cut by thousands of people, and the gun tips are not curled. But in fact, even if you refine fine steel, after killing several people in a row, the blade will begin to become dull...

At present, there is absolutely no time to polish the weapons for Zhu Ling or other defenders.

Sure enough, Cao's army attacked again and soon rushed forward under the pressure of Cao's army's commander in the rear.

Not only the Cao army's own supervision team, but also under the long-range threats of artillery, catapults, crossbows and other crossings on the top of Tongguan city, the Cao army's soldiers could only pass through dangerous areas as soon as possible and attack the lower city of Tongguan as soon as possible.

On the sakura in front of Tongguan Xiacheng, there is no room for maneuver in the narrow area. It can only be a passive beating like a gambling fortune. Therefore, as long as you embark on this section of the road, it is almost like a life of death.

But as long as you survive the attack, you can retreat and rest...

That’s right. If you want to survive, you must first take the Huangquan Road.

No one can escape.

Except for the direct Chinese character head, the other soldiers were constantly rotating. Those who came from the rear had to walk in the flesh and blood millstone before they could retreat to rest for a few days. There might be a second rotation, and maybe they could wait until they survive...
