Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 576
At the same time, Huang Zhong, the deputy governor of Zhengnan, received an order from Liu He, asking him to take advantage of Guan Yu's army to storm Baishui Pass and lead his army to capture Yinping County.

"Although Yinping borders our army's land and the defense is very weak, it will be easy to capture it. However, I have never heard that there is a road to Shu there. What's the use of capturing it?"

Huang Zhong did not understand Liu He's order, but whether he understood it or not, an order was an order, and Huang Zhong could only carry it out with all his strength. Therefore, after receiving the order, Huang Zhong did not dare to neglect at all and sent Liu He to He gave the order to the general Guan Yu and immediately led 5000 soldiers under his command to set off for Yinping.

The Yinping defender of the Shu Army is Zhang Yi, who was also a general in the middle of Shu, a young general of the Dongzhou Army, and a young hero promoted by Zhuge Liang. In the rear, be prepared to support Baishui at any time. It is only less than [-] miles away from Baishui Pass. If you act quickly, you can arrive in three days at most. I never thought that the Shu army would attack there.

Even Zhuge Liang didn't expect the Shu army to attack Yinping, and Zhang Yi naturally didn't expect it either, but fortunately, he was cautious and sent people to patrol the city gate day and night. Today, when he was patrolling, he suddenly saw a soldier coming from a distance. Ma couldn't help being very surprised, and immediately came to the tower in person, and shouted to the city: "Who is coming? Report the name quickly. If you dare to act without the master's order, you will be killed without mercy."

At this time, Zhang Yi hadn't thought that the enemy was coming, and he even thought it was Zhuge Liang's reinforcements.That's why I said that.

Of course, Zhang Yi cannot be blamed for this, because attacking here is really useless. Not only is it useless, but it will cause Liu He to divide his forces and defend, which is not conducive to the next move. However, he never thought that there is a big secret hidden under his rule.

However, what answered him at the top of the city was an arrow. He originally just wanted to ask the other party's identity and purpose, and never thought that he would be attacked. Therefore, when Huang Zhong shot an arrow, he had no precautions in his mind. , in this case, he was shot to death by Huang Zhong with a strong bow and an arrow.

It wasn't until the moment before his death that Zhang Yi realized that the people who came were actually the enemy. He felt a sense of righteousness, and couldn't help but feel deeply regretful. Because he was unprepared, not only did he pay the price with his life, but he might also give the kingdom of Shu Bring disaster.

"Light the Beacon Tower." These were Zhang Yi's last words before his death, and he hoped to remind Zhuge Liang.

However, Zhang Yi's order was issued too late. When the soldiers of the Beacon Tower reacted, they were immediately sniped by the elite archers of the Destroying Front Battalion under Huang Zhong's command.

Huang Zhong was originally a good archer, and many of his soldiers were also good at archers. These people's arrows are very precise. The only difference between them and those famous archers lies in their strength. Later, Huang Zhong was canonized as a After the Bow God, the combat power of these archers under his command has been strengthened, and now they can easily shoot the strong bow in their hands 120 steps away, and keep the damage and accuracy from shrinking.

Under such circumstances, all the soldiers guarding the beacon tower were shot to death, and the rest dared not approach anyone again.

As the guard Zhang Yi died, the soldiers guarding the Beacon Tower were also sniped, and the Yinping defenders were in chaos. At this time, someone recognized that the enemy general under the city was Huang Zhong, the feared sharpshooter in the Shu army!
Huang Zhong was highly valued in Liu Bei's account back then, especially his arrow technique, known as the No. Huang Zhong repaid Guan Yu's kindness for not killing him because his horse stumbled earlier, otherwise, this arrow would be enough to kill Guan Yu.

After hearing the news that the enemy general under the city turned out to be Huang Zhong, many defenders immediately dropped their weapons, opened the city gate, and surrendered to Huang Zhong without any hesitation.

Under such circumstances, Huang Zhong easily broke through Yinping only by shooting Zhang Yi to death and sniping the guards of the Beacon Tower.

In order to keep it as secret as possible, Huang Zhong ordered his army to surround the city, not to let anyone open, and to seal the news tightly. It was not until half a month later that Zhuge Liang discovered that Yinping had not followed the agreement and reported to him that he was safe. Guess, and later got detailed and accurate information.

"What? Yinping fell, Zhang Yi was killed, and even the beacon tower didn't have time to call the police? How could this happen?" After hearing the news, Zhuge Liang was shocked. When he heard that the opponent's siege general turned out to be Huang Zhong, he was filled with excitement. He was even more shocked, and immediately thought that there must be a major secret in Yinping, which could also pose a fatal threat to the Shu army. Otherwise, Liu He would never send a heavyweight like Huang Zhong to personally lead his army to attack Yinping.

"We must try our best to find out Yinping's secrets, otherwise our army will definitely be defeated!"

Zhuge Liang thought of this, and immediately looked for all the civil and military officials who had served in Yinping, and asked them if there was a road from Yinping to Shuzhong.

At this time, Dong He stepped forward and said: "Your official once heard that there is an ancient Yinping road in Yinping. This road starts from Yinping and can bypass Jiange Shu Road to Jiangyou. That's the idea, but before the official sent people to visit, but they haven't found the relevant road, even the nearby villagers don't know, so it's hard to be sure whether the news is true or not."

"Ancient Yinping Road? Bypass the Jiange Shu Road?" Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard the news, and quickly said: "It must be because of this that Liu He ordered Huang Zhong to occupy Yinping County. Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we must also Get defensive about it."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and said to a young general: "Zijun, I will immediately order you to be the chief general of Jiangyou Pass, and allocate [-] troops to you to guard Jiangyou Pass to the death. I wonder if you would like to go?"

The young general, surnamed Wang, named Ping, and styled Zijun, was Zhuge Liang's newly promoted general. Although he had different characters, he had a calm personality, rich combat experience, and was open-minded to learn. He was a general, and Zhuge Liang treated him very well. Appreciation, I was going to stay by my side to train him well. Now that the war is coming, I feel that it is a good opportunity to train him. At the same time, I also feel that Wang Ping is fully capable of this responsibility, so I sent him there.

Seeing what Zhuge Liang said, Wang Ping immediately cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to Mr. Trust, even if Ping is broken to pieces, it is difficult to repay him. Please rest assured, Mr. Ping will live and die with Jiangyouguan!"
