The Wei army built siege equipment for two days, and then launched a fierce attack at dawn on the third day.

"We must take down the street pavilion before dark today! We don't have much time!" Zhang He gave a death order and must take down the street pavilion today.

"If there is fear, the front army will not be killed immediately. If the front army does not dare to move forward, then the rear army will kill the front army!"

Zhang He's order was quickly conveyed to the entire army. The entire Wei army was frightened and fought to the death.

Zhang He has been fighting in the northwest for many years, and his biggest characteristic is that he has a mountain of military orders and prohibitions. Any military order he uttered was absolutely childish. He said that if the rear army beheads the front army, it will definitely be beheaded.

Jieting City is small and it is difficult for tens of thousands of troops to fully deploy. Only a few thousand people participate in the siege at a time. However, there are only a few soldiers who can't hold off Shu. Only two thousand people guarding the city are indeed too few.

Zhang He also divided the siege troops into three parts, replacing them every hour and taking turns to attack the city.

This effect was immediate. The Shu army fell into a bitter battle, and the Wei army once attacked the city. However, Wang Ping was not a vegetarian. At the most critical moment, he personally led his soldiers to the top of the city and drove the Wei army down again.

However, the crisis faced by Wang Ping was not small. In just three days, the Shu army forced him to go into battle in person. The two thousand Shu army had already suffered hundreds of casualties. If the battle continued, he might not even have a chance to break through.

"General Ma, you are just as clever as the Prime Minister. Have you made it this far?" Wang Ping wiped the blood on his face that was about to solidify, gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

"General Wang, we must quickly find a way to break out, otherwise we will have no chance." The guard handed over his hands with difficulty and asked for orders, his face extremely pale due to blood loss.

Wang Ping nodded slightly, his eyes full of worry.

Soon Wang Ping regrouped the Shu army and tried to break out.

However, Zhang He did not stop the Shu army from breaking through, and easily let Wang Ping out. As soon as the Shu army withdrew, the Wei army successfully entered the street pavilion and divided their troops to defend the city walls on all sides, which represented the loss of the street pavilion.

After conquering Jieting, Zhang He led 30,000 Wei troops straight to Lueyang without even looking at the Shu army on the hilltop.

Seeing that the flag of Shu Han was cut off on the top of the city, the black flag of Cao Wei was fluttering. When the Wei army headed straight to Longxi, Ma Su felt that he was now stable.

The street pavilion was lost, and the Shu army was blocked on the surrounding mountains, unable to get up and down. The task given by the prime minister to guard the street pavilion was a complete failure.

As we all know, Zhuge Liang is the most selfless and unselfish person, and now he has not been able to complete his mission even though he has disobeyed military orders. If he could still survive, Ma Su would have to wonder if he had entered a fake Three Kingdoms.

When Zhang He came straight to Lueyang, the Shu army on the Long Road was marching towards the street pavilion.

It was Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, who led the troops.

"Prime Minister, just ahead is Lueyang, only fifteen miles away from Jieting." Jiang Wei followed Zhuge Liang to rescue Jieting, and he reported to Zhuge Liang respectfully.

"We haven't found any broken troops at the street pavilion yet, so there should be no trouble."

"It's best to catch up, otherwise..." Zhuge Liang sighed slightly, and Prime Minister Zhuge, who had been strategizing at this time, panicked.

Since coming from the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang has calculated everything he can and played a big game in the entire northwest of the Han Dynasty.

However, as if God did not help Han, several accidents disrupted Zhuge Liang's plan.

First, Sima Yi went to Xincheng on the 8th and killed Meng Da in one fell swoop, so that the main force of the Wei army could safely transfer to the west.

Later, Guo Huai suddenly appeared in Longxi and defended Shanggui, blocking the Shu army's plan to cut off Longxi. Zhuge Liang was forced to divide his troops to capture Longxi, and at the same time lead an army to besiege.

In the end, it was Ma Di who caught Zhuge Liang off guard. He never expected that Ma Di would dare to disobey his military orders and act on his own. From his immature arrangement, Zhuge Liang seemed to see the shadow of Zhao Kuo during the Warring States Period.

If you say it wrong, Zhao Kuo can still hold Zhao Jun for forty-six days without collapse. If Ma Su could do it, Zhuge Liang wouldn't be so panicked.

Just when Zhuge Liang was anxious, suddenly forward scouts rushed to the central army and brought Zhuge Liang explosive news.

"Prime Minister, a large number of Wei troops have been discovered in the direction of Lueyang!"

"What?" Zhuge Liang's expression changed drastically. Has the street pavilion been lost?

"But we also met a few messengers from the street pavilion. They said they were sent by General Wang Ping." The scout hesitated and continued.

"They said that General Ma Di was still holding firm at Jieting, and the Han army did not suffer much losses. Zhang He divided his troops and stole through. If the prime minister arrives, he can completely wipe out the Wei army."

Zhuge Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, he took the letter from the scout and read it over, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You Chang actually has such wisdom. Is it a coincidence or intentional?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang He was forced to divide his troops regardless of food routes.

"Prime Minister, Wei Jun is not far from us now, what should we do?" Jiang Wei scratched his head and asked carefully when he saw that the Prime Minister suddenly stopped panicking.

"It's not urgent. As long as Ma Su can hold on to the street pavilion, how big a wave can Zhang Junyi make." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and took a long breath.

"According to the formation I arranged during the drill in Hanzhong, we will meet the Wei army in Lueyang."

Everyone says that Zhuge Liang is better at running a country than fighting, but that doesn't mean that Zhuge Liang can't fight.

Seventeen thousand Shu troops arrived at Lueyang ahead of Zhang He, and formed a formation with their backs to Lueyang, waiting for work.

When Zhang He arrived at Lueyang, he happened to see the Shu army waiting in full formation, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Sure! I fell into a trap!"

The Shu army still had soldiers and horses in Lueyang, which meant that Ma Su didn't need to contain him at all. The number of soldiers and horses alone was enough to fight him head-on.

Shan Shan still acted like he wanted to gamble with him. It was obvious that he had already expected what choice Zhang He would make.

"Is this also part of Ma Di's plan?" The more Zhang He thought about it, the uglier his face became. It was already as black as the bottom of a pot.

Being calculated from the beginning to the end, walking into the trap on the other side without missing a beat, this is not an ordinary shame.

Now it is impossible to retreat. The street pavilions and horses are watching eagerly, and the Shu army in Lueyang is waiting for work. Now he turns around and retreats. The place under Jieting City is probably where Zhang He's bones are buried.

The only way is to fight, maybe there is still a chance!

"Accept the challenge!" Zhang He gritted his teeth, turned around and ordered to the soldiers who had already attacked the city.

"They have few soldiers and no city walls to defend them. It's not difficult! As long as we defeat them, we can save the entire Longxi. Each of us is a hero of the Wei Dynasty!"

"Men in Guanzhong, fight the enemy bravely!"

However, Zhang He's words did not arouse morale. Both the soldiers and the generals were silent. Only one deputy general said to Zhang He tremblingly.

"General, look at their handsome flags!"

Zhang He suddenly turned his head and saw a four-wheeled vehicle slowly rolling out from the Shu army formation, with a huge flag behind it.

"Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and Marquis of Wuxiang"
