Xiahoudun and Le Jin joined forces to fight the two horses, eight horses' hooves flew wildly, four long knives clanged and slashed each other, and the roar continued.

The strength of Ma Xun and Ma Jin is higher than that of Lejin, but they are not as good as Xiahoudun, so under the joint duel with each other, it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

Xiahoudun has no bloodthirstiness, bursts with talent attributes, and can't take down the horse in a short period of time.

Wang Qing was shocked, Ma Wei was a horse but the two strongest generals under his command, and now he has not been able to take advantage, I heard that there are many generals under Cao Cao's command.

"Mingjin retreats, Mingjin retreats!" Wang Qing didn't want to lose the second horse, so he immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

"Hmph, you're lucky today, brother!" Ma Xun struggled to push away Xiahoudun's long knife, put aside a sentence from the scene, and turned the horse's head back.

The 1,000 soldiers and horses of the horses escorted the two horses back to the pass, and the 500 soldiers who prevented Lejin from taking the opportunity to attack the pass.

Seeing this, Cao Cao, who was in the rear, immediately drew his sword: "The army is attacking, rush!" ”

"Kill!"

With Cao Cao's order, Cao Ren immediately waved the order flag and led the army to attack Yique Pass.

"Shoot arrows, release arrows, stop Cao Jun from tackling key problems!" Wang Qing was not in a hurry and ordered the archers to release their arrows.

Woo Woo Woo ~ Arrows rained down on Yique's close, and flying stones and trees rolled down to block Cao's army.

If Le Jin could cut off the horses who went out to fight before, he could disturb the more than 1,000 pawns who pressed the formation, and then wave the army to seize the pass gate, Cao Cao waved the army to attack, and soon he could snatch the Yique Pass.

However, Lejin did not succeed, the two horses returned unharmed, closed the door, the arrows rained down and the stones fell, and Cao Jungong was not able to break through it for half an hour, so he had to temporarily withdraw his troops.

As the saying goes, as long as the logistics of soldiers and horses are sufficient, and the military spirit is still there, it is relatively simple to stick to a pass.

In order to protect the safety of Luoyang, the imperial court built a number of passes on the roads around Luoyang to block external threats. Like Zhihan Valley, Yique, Guangcheng, Otani, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other passes.

This Yique Pass is a pass built on a pass between South Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain, and it is the only way to go south from Luoyang. If he couldn't break through the Yique Pass, Cao Cao could only make a detour to other passes, and it was impossible to cross the mountains and mountains.

Cao Cao summoned his generals and strategists to discuss how to attack the city, this time Cao Cao's military division Cheng Yu and Xun Yu were behind Cao Cao to govern the people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Wang Qing thief relied on the remnants of the white wave to block our army's march into Luoyang and prevent me from worshipping the Son of Heaven, which is really a great crime. I don't know if you have a plan to break the enemy? Cao Cao looked around at the crowd, hoping that someone would be able to offer his good plan.

"Lord, Wang Qing's kid has fewer people than us, although this Yique Pass is steep, but the repair is insufficient, and Dazhai is damaged. It's better for me to lead the army to attack at night and break through the gate in one fell swoop. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Cao Ren hurriedly asked Zhandao.

Cao Cao shook his head, which made the attack and the loss too great, which was the reason why he had to withdraw his troops before.

"The method of filial piety can only be used at the end." Cao Cao vetoed.

"Lord, since this pass is not easy to attack, why not change the pass, then Wang Qing can't say that all the passes around Luoyang are full of heavy troops, and there must be copper leaks, why don't our army attack here." Xiahoudun suggested.

Cao Cao was naturally reluctant to take a detour, delay time, and consume grain and grass: "Yuan Rang, the Son of Heaven is not the only one who gives me an edict, and other princes may also send troops, if we send troops late, when we arrive in Luoyang, there will be nothing left." ”

"Zhongde, is there a way?" Cao Cao finally set his sights on the strategist Cheng Yu.

"My lord, I think that my lord can do three things to facilitate the capture of Yique Pass. First, contact the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and cooperate with the outside to take Luoyang, or provoke the defenders in the city, and win over some of the leaders of the original Baibo army to be owned by us. Second, pretending to send troops to attack other passes, mobilize Wang Qing's army and horses, and then take Yique Pass by surprise. Third, spread rumors that Li Dao in the west was going to raise troops to seize the Son of Heaven and was about to attack Hangu Pass. Yuan Shao's army went south to attack Luoyang. Let the defenders in the pass panic and let them know that Luoyang cannot be defended. Cheng Yu smiled and said a lot, looking very sure.

Cao Cao carefully analyzed, used the room, the sound of attacking the west, bluffing, disturbing the morale of the army, all good, come together, I don't believe that this Wang Qing can bear it.

"Okay, just in the sense of Zhongde. Cao Ren, you lead a thousand troops and pretend that the main force of our army is marching eastward to attack Dagu Pass. My main army is pulling back, Xiahoudun, you also lead a thousand troops, disguised as the main army in front of the pass, bluffing, but to show flaws and let the enemy know. Zhongde, you are responsible for liaising with the ministers in the city, especially Dong Cheng and other ministers, and I heard that the original leaders of the Baibo army, Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai, and others, can try to recruit them. The rumor-mongering is also up to you. Loose accounts! Cao Cao arranged.

"No!"

The generals received orders and went their own way.

The next day, Cao Ren led a thousand men and horses, including many war horses, immediately tied branches, stones, etc., most of them with flags, pretending to set off quietly, but it was easy to be discovered, and led the army to the east.

Wang Qing is also thinking of a way to let Cao Cao withdraw his troops in the pass, he can't always guard this Yique Pass, once he has left Luoyang for a long time, who will know what will happen in the court.

"Looking at it yesterday, Cao Cao's army is neat and not to be underestimated, I don't know if you have a way to deal with Cao Cao?" Wang Qing asked the crowd.

However, the group of people under him, it's okay to lead some soldiers and horses to charge, use their brains, that's really not good, if these people have good brains, where can Wang Qinglai be the boss.

"Fight it out and fight it out!" Ma Jin was a little stunned.

"That's it, that's it, our army will definitely be able to defeat Cao's army." Li Le echoed.

Wang Qing was a little speechless, Cao Cao had more soldiers and horses than him, and he was killing head-on, which was what Cao Cao hoped for the most, and he was now blocking Cao Cao by virtue of this pass.

Han Xian suggested: "General, why don't we win over Cao Cao, promote Cao Cao, and let him withdraw his troops to attack others?" ”

This idea is a little more reliable, Wang Qing sent his thighs: "Okay, just give Cao Cao a promotion, as long as Cao Cao is willing to retire, I will let the emperor give him a marquis and a general!" ”

According to the name of the general of the Han Dynasty, now Cao Cao's Zhendong General has a general of Zhengdong above, and a general of the Zhenjun above, and the rank of General Wei is above.

The current Wang Qing is a general of the chariot cavalry, and General Wei is Dong Cheng, but Dong Cheng is at odds with Wang Qing, so Dong Cheng's general title will not be lost to Cao Cao.
