super apocalypse

Chapter 170
In one night, Zhou Cang and Xu Chu took turns to attack the city, launching a total of thirteen sieges. Except for the first two real attacks, only the ninth of the next eleven was a real attack. Ten times, all feints.

However, even if it was a feint attack, would Tao Qian and the others dare to relax their vigilance?The answer is of course no, because they all know very well in their hearts that once they relax their vigilance, or even just relax a little bit, what awaits them is the most violent attack of the Taiping Army.

Therefore, Tao Qian, Liu Guanzhang and others worked hard all night, and when the sky was dawning and the east side showed the white belly, although the soldiers guarding the city did not suffer many casualties, they were all exhausted and sleepy one by one. Incessantly, it seems that I can't even stand still.

"Just follow the method last night, and continue to attack the city today!" Xiao Lan continued to order without hesitation. He would never show even the slightest bit of pity and sympathy for the defenders at the Sishui Pass, because this is war, not you. Death is the battle of my life!
Cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel, killing... This is the theme of war, no matter how much it is called a righteous jihad, it cannot get rid of it!

This time it was Dian Wei who was in charge of organizing the attack, and the defenders on the city were still resisting tenaciously, but it was obviously not as strong as last night.

Seeing this, Zhou Cang couldn't help but praised Guo Jia: "Master Military Advisor is really powerful, this strategy of weary soldiers is really wonderful, according to my opinion, I'm afraid it won't take three to five days, this Sishuiguan It will be self-defeating."

Guo Jia said modestly: "The general has won the award. It is all thanks to the bravery of the general who led the troops in battle. I am afraid that the general will take the lead in breaking through this time!"

When Zhou Cang heard this, he was happy at first, but then he couldn't help but said in frustration: "I don't study well, so don't lie to me. I know in my heart that I can't beat the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang."

"Hahahaha..." As soon as these words came out, everyone in the big tent burst into laughter. Zhou Cang is an honest man after all!

Here the Taiping army was laughing and laughing, the water was closed, Tao Qian, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were fighting hard. Although Dian Wei was not smart, he strictly followed the military order, two false attacks, one real attack The attack lasted throughout the morning, and the defenders who had shut down the Sishui River were almost to the point of collapse.

"Brother, these Taiping thieves are too cunning. They do this again and again, when will they be big!" Zhang Fei, who had been guarding the city for a long time, couldn't help complaining. At this moment, he was already very tired. , His biggest wish now is to have a good sleep.It's a pity, wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel, this is destined to be only his wishes.

"The Taiping thieves have many people, and they take turns to attack the city. The real situation is uncertain, but we are different. The closed defenders themselves are less than [-], and it is impossible to withdraw to rest. Therefore, even if we know that the enemy is using tricks, we can only do our best. Increase your vigilance if possible to deal with it!" Liu Bei leaned against the wall weakly, and there was an unspeakable exhaustion in his words.

He has always been an ambitious person, otherwise, he would not be sworn brothers with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and led them to organize the village brave to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, and tried every means to make meritorious service and become an official. He didn't succeed, but he never gave up, so when the Eighteenth Route allied forces attacked Dong Zhuo, he still came, even though he knew that compared to the Eighteenth Route princes, he was almost white.

Unfortunately, although he entered the Allied Forces with the help of Gongsun Zan, his second brother Guan Yu Wenjiu and Hua Xiong, and then their three brothers Liu Guanzhang fought Lu Bu at Hulaoguan and made great achievements in battle, but the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces However, he was extremely disappointed by his performance. Therefore, after the Allied forces arrived in Luoyang and had no intention of making progress, he took his two brothers and left Luoyang. They encountered Tao Qian's distress near Sishuiguan, so he rescued him. .

Save Tao Qian, help him resist the Taiping Army, and then slowly accept all Tao Qian's forces, and then... Liu Bei seems to have seen the most beautiful prospect.However, God did not bless him, the Taiping Army came in force, and someone came up with such a plan to exhaust the troops. He felt that Sishui Pass would not be able to hold on for long...
Time passed continuously, and another day and night passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, the Taiping Army carried out dozens of sieges, sometimes pretending to attack, and sometimes trying to launch a real attack. Exhausted, the huge consumption made it difficult for them to support.

So, after three consecutive feints, Guo Jiajin said: "My lord, generals, the defenders on the city are exhausted now, and it's time for the final general attack."

"Okay!" Since Xiao Lan chose to make Guo Jia a military adviser, he naturally believed in his military strategy. Therefore, as soon as Guo Jia opened his mouth, he responded without hesitation: "Let Zhou Cang attract [-] troops and attack by force." Fortress, Xu Chu Dianwei, gathered five thousand elite cavalry, after the city was broken, and I chased and killed Tao Qian and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, and the military advisor Guo Jia led the army to the rear."

"Promise!" Hearing the new military order, all the soldiers responded one after another. Immediately, Zhou Cang led [-] troops and launched the most violent attack on Sishui Pass.

"I'm so mad, this Taiping thief, I'm afraid it's real this time, why is the attack so fierce!" Looking at the Taiping army rushing up the tower like a tide, Zhang Fei couldn't help yelling, and swung his spear to block it. However, the Zhangba Snake Spear, which weighs over a thousand ton, is as heavy as a mountain in his hands now. He who has not rested for several days, how can he have the strength to fight hard at this moment?
Guan Yu was more tired than him. After all, the Qinglong Yanyue Saber he used was heavier than Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear. He was usually mighty and unparalleled, but now, he had not rested for several days and nights, and he was exhausted physically and mentally to the extreme!
Even fierce generals like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were in such a mess, let alone the soldiers guarding the city. Each one of them was almost limp and unable to stand. They couldn't even hold their weapons. How could they withstand the menacing Taiping army? , it took almost no effort for the Taiping Army to attack the city wall.

"All soldiers, get ready, Tao Qian and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang must not go away in this battle!" Xiao Lan looked at the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang leaning on each other on the top of the wall, with a playful smile on his face. Riding under the auspices of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, they are ready to set off at any time.

"Prince Tao, I'm afraid we can't hold Sishui Pass anymore. Should we prepare to evacuate from the back city?" Seeing that the city was about to be lost, Liu Bei quickly spoke to Tao Qian sincerely.

"Is this Sishui Pass really unstoppable?" Tao Qian still had a little bit of luck in his heart. Back then, their [-]th allied army with a total of more than [-] troops was also defeated in front of this Sishui Pass. It lasted for more than a month, but now, the Taiping Army only took three or four days to attack the city, and his own side couldn't stand it anymore. Such a result really made Tao Qian feel very unacceptable.

"I can't keep it anymore!" Looking at the city tower that had lost most of it, Liu Bei couldn't help sighing, if he didn't leave, all of them would have to confess here.

Tao Qian was silent for a while, but finally nodded and responded: "The matter has come to this, we have no choice but to withdraw from Sishui Pass first."

The Taiping Army's offensive became more and more fierce. On the contrary, the resistance on the city became weaker and weaker. In addition, the three brothers Tao Qian, Liu Guan, and Zhang Zhang gathered hundreds of remnants and began to retreat from the back city, and they completely lost their defense. Soon, the Taiping Army After taking down the city gate, Xiao Lan led five thousand elite cavalry to rush in.

"Xu Chu, Dian Wei, follow me to Houcheng, and chase after Tao Qian, Liu Guan and the three brothers!" With the original intention of killing snakes, Xiao Lan gave up entering Sishui Pass, and went straight out in pursuit without stopping. He knew very well that this Liu Bei was the best at running for his life, and if he was not careful, he would be smeared on the soles of his feet and slip away.

But at this time, the three brothers Tao Qianke, Liu Guan and Zhang who were exhausted led hundreds of officers and troops to escape from Sishui Pass for less than a few miles, so they were easily chased up by Xiao Lan's cavalry.

Xu Chu took the lead and shouted loudly: "Old Tao Qian and young Liu Bei, don't leave!"
