Today, Guan Yu leads his troops to control Juzhou City.

The geographical location of Juzhou is a must-pass road to the imperial capital of Shu Kingdom. Therefore, Liu Bei arranged 100,000 heavy troops and asked Guan Yu to sit here and defend the city.

Moreover, the mountains are connected to the state and the rivers are dense, and the city is built along the mountain, directly blocking the east-west passage. If you want to go to the imperial capital of Shu, you must pass through Juzhou City.

Therefore, this line of defense is the most determined position of Shu Kingdom.

Guan Yu also made a military order, and the person was outside the city and the person was lost and the person died!

After receiving Yang Shuang's secret letter, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng immediately started the plan quietly. Of course, this plan is top secret, and not many people know about it, they are all the confidants of Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng.

Before we knew it, several days passed.

Late at night, Guan Yu, wearing armor, stood on the top of the city gate of Juzhou City, looking at the Sui army camp in the distance. Looking at their starlights, Guan Yu's face became dark.

Behind him is Guan Yu's son Guan Xing. Guan Xing said in a deep voice: "Father, the scout found that although the Sui army's defense was still tight, there were many dispersed positions, especially around the early morning. The alertness was not high, and the defense level was far lower than before!"

Guan Yu immediately sneered: "The Sui army has been attacking us for more than half a year. They have been attacking and we have been defending. After such a long battle, we have never left the city to fight, and we have not attacked. They will definitely relax and slacken. They think that our Shu Kingdom can only defend and will never attack. This is indeed the case!"

Guan Xing heard Guan Yu's unexpected words and couldn't help asking: "Father, can you think..."

Guan Yu nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "I, Guan Yu, have been cowards for so many years in the battle? I can only defend but not attack. This is simply shameful! Now there is a rare opportunity. Taking advantage of the Sui army's carelessness, I just took the opportunity to attack!"

"Father, never do it! This is against Your Majesty's order!" Guan Xing hurriedly stopped him.

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you know the situation well for your father, and you have the chance to win! The Prime Minister sets a defense strategy to prevent large-scale casualties from our troops. After all, the enemy's firearms are extremely powerful and are afraid of head-on confrontation at a disadvantage. However, if it is a sneak attack, find the right opportunity to take action directly, and it will catch the opponent off guard. At that time, the opponent's firearms do not work, and there will be no disadvantages."

"Son, the Shu Kingdom now needs a victory, not always defending. Look at the current morale of the military and people, and the hearts of the people are in a downturn. There are rumors that Shu Kingdom is destruction and the rise of the Sui Dynasty is spread among the people. We must change this situation, and a victory is the best proof, proving the ability of our Shu Kingdom!"

Guan Xing hesitated and said, "Father, do you need to report this matter to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister?"

Guan Yu glared and shouted, "No! You are outside, and the military orders are not accepted! You go down and arrange a few smart scouts. I need them to approach the Sui army camp and investigate carefully. We must investigate repeatedly and see the real state of the Sui army, so as to avoid a plan of loosening the outside and tightening the inside."

"I understand!" Guan Xing did not dare to disobey and immediately went down to make arrangements.

In the next few days, the scouts of Shu Kingdom took advantage of the night to approach the Sui army camp, avoided their patrol, and came outside the military camp to observe the real situation inside.

After observing for several days, he determined the true situation of the Sui Army camp and reported the situation to Guan Yu.

Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng pretended not to know these things, and led their troops to the city during the day to yell and scold Guan Yu, blushing his face and thick neck, and launching a wave of attacks. However, the large-scale siege battle never went on, and it seemed that they planned to drag it on like this.

After listening to the scout's report, Guan Yu became more convinced that this was a good opportunity. The Sui army camp was in a state of slackness. If the other party noticed it, it would be impossible to attack again.

So Guan Yu immediately rectified the army and selected elite troops, totaling 8,000 troops.

I waited for two days next, and waited for a night with the bright moon hanging high.

In a sneak attack at night, the line of sight is definitely the biggest impact. Many soldiers have night blindness and cannot see anything at night. Therefore, the selected soldiers must be able to fight at night, and in order to prevent being noticed by the enemy before the attack, they have to choose a bright night so that they can still rush to the night without a torch.

This night finally came.

Guan Yu, Guan Xing, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang led the troops themselves and all changed into black armor. Even the white blades were painted black. The horse's hooves were wrapped in fabric to prevent louder sounds from being heard during the march.

It can be said that Guan Yu is ready.

After the early morning, Guan Yu still did not set off. Until the end of the ugly hour, that is, three o'clock in the night, this is the most exhausting moment of the day and the most heavy time of sleep, which is most conducive to sneak attacks.

The heavy city gate quietly opened, Guan Yu rushed out with his troops and rushed out.

Eight thousand men were dressed in moonlight and rushed towards the Sui army camp. Because they were covered with flat official roads, the troops did not encounter any obstacles when they marched.

Soon, there were three or four miles away from the Sui Army camp.

Guan Yu immediately sent an order, and the soldiers behind him took out bows and crossbows.

Guan Yu prepared a complete plan for this sneak attack, and the weapons he carried were the most sophisticated, which shows Guan Yu's determination to attack.

When the Shu army approached, they immediately shot and killed the alert Sui soldiers. When they were closer to the Great Sui army camp, the secret whistle found the enemy and lit the warning fireworks.

Fireworks bloom in the sky, so beautiful.

Guan Yu sneered, not caring about the fireworks warning because it was too late.

With the rapid horses and whipping, the Shu army had already arrived outside the Great Sui army camp.

Facing the Lu Fort and other objects blocking the road in front of the Sui Army's camp, Shu also had gunpowder, and directly threw gunpowder, blowing up the blocking objects, and then rushed in.

At this moment, the Sui army camp was in panic. Although there were warnings and fireworks, the reaction was still too slow, so the entire military camp was noisy.

And all of this was seen by Guan Yu.

Guan Yu roared and immediately divided the eight thousand soldiers into four groups, began to break into the camp, set fire to the camp, and burned their food and grass. As for Guan Yu, he led all the troops to the center of the camp to kill Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng.

For a time, the Sui army camp was in chaos and countless tents were ignited.

Guan Yu killed all directions, as if he had entered a state of no one, and was close to the central army's tent.

But soon, Guan Yu noticed the problem.

Because the closer we were to the central army's tent, the Sui army was found to have suddenly decreased.

"not good!"

Guan Yu suddenly stopped his horse and noticed something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the closer you get to the center of the barracks, the more soldiers you have, why are there fewer ones?

Just as Guan Yu was thinking about his mistake, a group of heavily armored infantry suddenly emerged from the noisy military camp, and they surrounded Guan Yu and his troops.

He is worthy of being Guan Yu, with a strong temperament and will never surrender even if he commits suicide.

Qin Qiong respected Guan Yu, so he ordered people to collect his body, but did not kill Guan Xing and Guan Ping.

And then, the battle is not over yet.

Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng led the troops to disguise themselves as Shu troops. Before dawn, they immediately returned to Juzhou City and set fire to ignite the camp.

The defenders of Juzhou City saw the flames ignited from the Sui camp and illuminated half of the sky. They immediately knew that General Guan had successfully attacked the enemy camp.

So when Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng came back pretending to be Shu army, the soldiers guarding the city could not see clearly, and could only blur the Qinglong Yanyue Sword of Guan Yu, and immediately released the suspension bridge, opened the city gate, and let the army enter the city.

The result of entering the city is to lead a wolf into the house, and the result can be imagined.

Qin Qiong and Luo Zhi immediately controlled the city gate, and the Sui army rushed to enter Juzhou City.

Although there are still tens of thousands of troops in Juzhou City, there are no leaders in the group. Guan Yu, Guan Xing, Guan Ping, and Zhou Cang are not there, and only a few generals are left, and it is difficult for them to take charge of the overall situation. In the end, they have no choice but to withdraw.

In this way, Juzhou City fell into the hands of the Great Sui Dynasty.

News spread throughout the world as fast as possible.

When Shu Kingdom learned that Juzhou City was lost, Zhuge Liang was dizzy and sighed. The Shu Kingdom Emperor Liu Bei was even more sad and angry. When Zhang Fei heard that Guan Yu died in battle, he even wanted to lead his troops to attack Qin Qiong, but was stopped by Zhang Fei's son and Pang Tong.

After Yang Shuang heard the news, she was overjoyed.

Taking down Juzhou City was considered to tear open the second line of defense of Shu.

Next, the second line of defense was simple for the Sui army.

In the next few months, the five armies including Li Jing, Li Jie, Han Qinhu all broke through the second line of defense and continued to advance westward, leaving only more than 200 miles away from the Shu Emperor.

It was already July of the seventh year of Kaihuang.

The weather was too hot, so the attack speed was significantly slower.

At this time, it had been a year since the attack on Shu Kingdom. The Sui Dynasty invested 800,000 troops and countless supplies and equipment. The gunpowder accumulated over the past few years has been used for 70%.

At this moment, the Shu Emperor was close to him.

The Shu Kingdom also implemented their final plan, which was to use gunpowder to blow up mountains and break the road and completely block the Sui Kingdom's attack.

....

Over the past year, the mainland of the Great Sui Dynasty was also attacked by the Eastern Turks.

After Xu Shu lobbied the Turks' Du Lan Khan, Du Lan was afraid that the Sui Dynasty would attack the Turks after unifying Shenzhou, so while Yang Shuang attacked Shu, the Turks attacked the Sui Dynasty in an all-round way.

However, Yang Shuang had long guessed the Turkic ambitions, so before going to the expedition, she had already notified Mingguang Hou Qinfeng and asked Yang Lin, Gao Bing and others to go to the northern border to prepare for defense.

When the Turks invaded, the soldiers of the Great Sui army, who were on high alert, immediately counterattacked. At the same time, the first head-on battle between the muskets made the Turks feel a nightmare.

Under the attack of gunpowder, the Turks were no match for the Great Sui Dynasty at all. How many people came and how many people died.

In the past, it was indeed the world of cavalry, but now it is the world of gunpowder.

Therefore, the Turkic attack did not stop Yang Shuang's pace, nor did it bring any help to Shu Kingdom.

However, Zhuge Liang's circuit breaking plan did stop Yang Shuang.

All passages were blocked. Even if people were sent to build roads, Shu would still send people to blow them up. If this continued, it would be impossible to defeat the imperial capital of Shu.
