280,000 Wei soldiers and soldiers, with high morale, entered the Tongguan.

Su Zhe gave an order, and the army camped for more than ten miles, with countless camps, blocking the outside of Tongguan.

In the early morning of that day, Su Zhe took advantage of the morning light to climb a high ground and inspect Tongguan City from afar.

This is the second time he has observed Tongguan, the world's most dangerous pass, at close range.

To the north of Tongguan is the rolling Yellow River, the Yellow River that winds and bends, here it has lost a big bend of nearly 90 degrees, from the north to the south, it has become the east-west direction, the river is turbulent, and no raft can walk on the river.

The south of Tongguan is the starting point of the remaining veins of Qin, and the sinister mountain situation is not inferior to the mountains and rivers of Shudi, and even surpasses it.

The towering Tongguan City, located between such mountains and rivers, is far more dangerous than the Sword Pavilion Yangping Pass, with a husband as a pass, ten thousand people to describe the most appropriate.

"Tongguan, it really deserves to be the most dangerous pass in the world, it is worthy of its name, it is worthy of its name...... Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh.

After looking at the dangers of Tongguan, Su Zhe went down the high ground and went to the camp.

He originally planned to deal with the Sword Pavilion and the Guancheng like Yangping Pass, no matter how dangerous you are, and launch a few decent tentative attacks first.

However, when he personally examined the danger of Tongguan, he decided to abandon the tentative attack, and there was no need to waste the lives of his soldiers in vain.

After returning to the camp, Su Zhe did not move his troops for the time being, first asked the soldiers to set up the camp and rest for a while, and at the same time ordered Li Yan to transport grain and grass from the rear to the front line as soon as possible.

This battle of Tongguan seems to be destined to be a protracted war, since it is a protracted war, it is natural that there is no urgency, so the soldiers can only be told to raise their spirits, and after the grain and grass are enough, it is not too late to use the troops.

It's day, evening.

Su Zhe was discussing with his ministers a plan to break the pass, and at this time, Hu Che'er hurried to the camp with the latest information from Guanzhong Xizuo.

"Your Majesty, we have sent back news from our detailed work in the Han Kingdom, Qiang King Cheriji has been moved by Liu Bei, and is taking 60,000 Xiqiang Iron Horsemen, coming to Tongguan under the starry night, and has now entered Fufeng County, and will arrive at Tongguan soon."

Hearing this news, in the big tent, the faces of all the ministers were slightly moved, and they all showed a little jealousy.

Su Zhe drank a glass of wine and sneered: "Liu Bei, you finally betrayed your ancestors, hooked up with the Qiang people, and wore a pair of pants, I don't know how many benefits you gave the Qiang people?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the intelligence, Liu Bei officially made Cheriji the king of Jincheng, and assigned the first county of Jincheng to Cheriji as a permanent fief of the Qiang people." Hu Che'er replied.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent did not change color.

Zhang Xiu scolded angrily: "Back then, the Qiang people wanted to invade Jincheng County several times, how many bloody battles did our Xiliang men fight with the Qiang people, and how many men sacrificed to keep Jincheng County, but I didn't expect Liu Da'er to say that he would cut it, it was really shameless enough!" ”

Tai Shi Ci also sighed: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, when the Han court allowed the Huns to move south to annex it, the result was today's trouble, I didn't expect Liu Bei not to take it as a warning, but also to lead the wolf into the room, it is really short-sighted." ”

For a while, the generals were extremely indignant at Liu Bei, and they all scolded him for being shameless.

Su Zhe's eyes also lit up with a cold murderous machine, and he said coldly: "Anyone who leads foreign races into my Huaxia will be punished, and the big-eared thief is a self-defeating way!" ”

For a while, the indignant scolding echoed in the big tent.

After the indignation, Zhang Xiu said: "However, the minister still has to remind Your Majesty that the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry is different from ordinary cavalry, and it is not so easy to deal with it, and Your Majesty has to prepare early." ”

"Then tell me, what is so different about this Xiqiang Iron Horse?" Su Zhe also calmed down his anger.

Zhang Xiu said: "Back to Your Majesty, the strongest thing about this Xiqiang iron cavalry is that it combines light and heavy cavalry, with 5,000 iron heavy cavalry, connected to each other's iron locks to form a heavy cavalry array, opening the way ahead, outflanking the two wings with ten times the light cavalry, powerful and extremely difficult to crack. ”

Zhang Xiu's words stunned the audience.

"Wait, Zhang Zicong, what are you talking about, the iron horses are connected by locks, what kind of name is this?" Yan Liang asked puzzled.

Zhang Xiu explained: "It is a team of every four heavy armored cavalry, and the saddles of each other are connected together with iron chains, and then sixteen cavalry are used as a formation to form a formation of more than 300 iron-locked heavy cavalry. ”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

It seems that Yan Liang and Wen Chou are all superior cavalry generals who are good at commanding cavalry, and they are all shocked when they hear that there is such a tactic for the first time.

"According to Zhang Zicong's description, this iron lock heavy cavalry array is indeed powerful, no wonder this Xiqiang people have been fighting with you for so many years, and they can still fight stronger and stronger." Wen Chou sighed.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, this Xiqiang Iron Cavalry is indeed difficult to deal with, we have to be careful." Yan Liang turned around and reminded Su Zhe.

What kind of person is Yan Liang, that is the first fierce general in Hebei, he has always been very self-assured, and regards the enemy of the world as nothing.

Now, even Yan Liang felt a trace of jealousy, which showed that this Xiqiang Iron Rider was indeed powerful.

"It's exactly what I learned......

The corners of Su Zhe's mouth swept up a hint of weirdness, and he sneered: "Don't worry, before my soldiers left Luoyang, I knew that Liu Bei would use the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry, and I had already sent someone to investigate the virtual and real weaknesses of the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry clearly, and I had secretly trained a cracking surprise soldier, and now, it was finally time to come in handy." ”

The generals were all very surprised, and their surprised eyes converged on their Son of Heaven, obviously not expecting that Su Zhe would be able to anticipate things to such a point and make a target against Xiqiang Iron Cavalry so long in advance.

"Your Majesty is really prescient, I don't know how Your Majesty plans to break the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry?" Yan Liang asked impatiently.

"Don't divulge it, you'll know when the time comes." Su Zhe smiled mysteriously and deliberately hung their appetites.

The generals looked at each other and secretly speculated, but they couldn't think of any good way to crack the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry, the seemingly invulnerable heavy armor chain Iron Cavalry Legion.

……

Tongguan West City.

Liu Bei and thousands of Han soldiers stood at the head of the city, looking forward to the west avenue, and the word expectation was written on everyone's face.

After waiting for a long time, at the end of the avenue, a "Qiang" banner was finally raised.

Immediately afterwards, more and more battle flags were raised, more and more cavalry figures came into view, and nearly 60,000 Xiqiang iron horsemen came along the avenue and marched towards Tongguan Xu.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Reinforcements had finally arrived, and they finally had to fear the huge Wei army east of Guancheng.

Liu Bei, who was standing at the head of the city, looked down at the approaching Xiqiang Iron Cavalry from a distance, and a relieved smile finally appeared on his gray and uneasy face.
