"General, these people clearly want to be turtles with shrunken heads." A general said helplessly.

Ji Ling laughed and said: "This is because they know the strength of our army, they took off their armor to dry, the weather is quite hot, the brothers scolded for a long time, and they all lay on the ground to rest." ”

Although the adjutant general didn't understand Ji Ling's intentions, he still did so.

The defenders on the pass saw the situation of the Bingzhou army boiling, and they couldn't scold the Bingzhou army, they didn't have the training to scold people, but the Bingzhou army threw their armor and blades aside outside the pass, lying on the ground basking in the sun, and scolded them weakly, is there anything more infuriating than this, how to say that they are also soldiers and horses in Hedong, even if there is no elite of the Bingzhou army, but the Bingzhou army does not bring such an annoying person.

"General, send someone out of the customs to meet the battle." The adjutant general persuaded.

Pei Yan squinted and glanced at the Bingzhou army outside the pass, although he was angry in his heart, he still suppressed it, "No, the Bingzhou army is not far away, if you send soldiers and horses to fight, you will fall into the trick of the Bingzhou army, although these people are foot soldiers, there is a cavalry in the rear." ”

"But there is no one in the eyes of these merger states." The adjutant general said with a pale face.

Pei Yan snorted coldly: "I can't even bear this grievance, how to resist the army of Bingzhou, there is news from Hedong, Marquis Ye will personally lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hanoi, and then the Bingzhou army can still be so leisurely?" ”

Seeing this, the adjutant general had to look at the Bingzhou army outside the pass angrily, if the eyes can kill people, the Bingzhou army outside the pass is afraid that the defenders will be killed several times, although there are fewer wars in Hedong, but the Hedong army exterminated the surrounding thieves is not a few, and the war that he thinks he has experienced is not a few, how can he be so underestimated.

If the guards of Jiguan were replaced by the generals of the Bingzhou army, I am afraid that they would have already faced the battle, which is also the reason why Hedong relieved Pei Yanzhen to guard Jiguan, Pei Yan led the troops to pay attention to winning in stability, even if they led the troops to attack the bandits, they were also cautious, lest the bandits have any traps.

In the face of a guard like Pei Yan, Lu Bu couldn't cry or laugh, which clearly showed that he wanted to block the army of the state with the advantage of geographical advantages, and he also had to admire Pei Yan's temperament.

After scolding for a day, the state army lazily picked up armor and blades from the ground, gathered leisurely, and returned to the camp after shouting and scolding in unison outside the city.

The next day, Lu Bu ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses and went to Jiguan.

Different from the army under Ji Ling yesterday, the army of Jizhou at this time was extremely strong, not to mention anything else, just the neat pace of the soldiers marching, the defenders of the Kei Pass were amazed.

There are many swords and guns, the clothes and armor are distinct, the flag is waving in the wind, and Lu Bu, who is dressed in military uniform, looks even more majestic and majestic under the backdrop of the Xuanqi horse.

"I am the Marquis of Jin, and the guards will come out to answer." Lu Bu shouted.

Pei Yan, who was hanging a sword at his waist, also saw Lu Bu for the first time, in the past, he had only heard how Lu Bu was brave and good at fighting, but he had never met him, but when he saw it today, it was really shocking, Lu Bu's height of more than nine feet, plus the Xuan Qi horse, which was far beyond the height of ordinary people, was quite oppressive.

"The Marquis of Jin led his troops here, I don't know why?" Pei Yan replied.

"Ben Hou was ordered by the Holy Orders to attack Chang'an's Guo Yan, Li Dao and other traitors, this time they were just passing through the Jiguan, why did they close the gate tightly and not let the Bingzhou army pass by, could it be that the people of Hedong disobeyed the Holy Order?" Lu Bu said coldly.

The division pays attention to being famous, and with the order of the saint, and the state army comes, it seems justifiable, of course, Lu Bu will not tell the guards of Jiguan that he is ordered to occupy Hanoi.

"Hmph, the Marquis of Jin is just an excuse, since it is the order of the saint, why did the people of Hedong not get the holy decree, after the Marquis of Jin attacked Hanoi, he raised troops to invade Hedong, his heart was clearly revealed, could it be that the Marquis of Jin thought that the people of Hedong could not see the intention of the Marquis of Jin? If the Marquis of Jin has a heart, he can lead a hundred people to Hedong to discuss with Lord Wang about attacking the traitors. Pei Yan said coldly.

"This marquis is the marquis of Jin and the hussar general who has been crowned by the saint, who is the king in your mouth?" Lu Bu said disdainfully.

When Pei Yan heard this, his complexion changed slightly, this is also due to his identity, after all, Lu Bu was personally sealed by the saint, and Wang Yi is just the Taishou of Hedong, and the status of the two is very different, even if it is seen, it should be Wang Yi to go to Bingzhou.

"Don't take advantage of your tongue, the Marquis of Jin wants to capture Hedong, the whole world knows, why fool the people in Hedong here." Pei Yan shouted.

"Since you don't care about the orders of the saints, it is the rebellion of the Han Dynasty."

At this time, Liu Biao represented the Han family, and Lu Bu's words were also reasonable, people were traitors who attacked Chang'an, if the defenders of Hedong stuck to Jiguan and did not let the Bingzhou army pass by, and spread out, it would only make people in the world feel that Hedong disregarded the holy order, and no one wanted to be put on the hat of a traitor for no reason.

"Order the soldiers to be on alert, and the state army is about to attack the city." Pei Yan was at a disadvantage in the confrontation on righteousness, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart.

The rumbling war drums sounded, and the state army marched in a neat pace, coming in the direction of Keiguan, and stopped neatly at a distance of two arrows from Keiguan.

Pei Yan looked puzzled, at the forefront of the Bingzhou army was the cloud ladder soldiers, four people and a cloud ladder, but such an attack, the Bingzhou army will undoubtedly have great losses, although he has not really been in contact with the siege battle, Pei Yan knows that if he can't suppress the defenders on the pass, it is completely impossible to pass through the cloud ladder soldiers and attack the Ji Pass.

Watching the wells come slowly, Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was even more solemn, there were thirty wells outside the pass, if the soldiers above the well were to suppress the defenders of the pass, it would be very difficult to crack the attack of the ladder soldiers, the ladder soldiers were the most likely to be damaged, and they were also the most powerful in siege warfare, once the soldiers on the ladder gained a firm foothold on the pass, there would be a steady stream of enemy troops climbing the city wall, and the price paid by the defenders would be greater at that time, The Bingzhou army in front of him was obviously prepared, and the thirty wells were able to suppress the defenders on the pass.

"General, the state army has so many wells, when the archers are ordered to all go to the pass." Adjutant said.

Pei Yan nodded and said: "Order all a thousand archers to go to the pass, be sure to suppress the archers on the well of the Bingzhou army, and after the Bingzhou army begins to attack the city, let them taste the power of the wooden boulder." ”

"Whoa!" The lieutenant will hold his fist.

There must still be some gap between the height of the well and the Keiguan, the archers above the Kei Pass occupy the geographical advantage, in the duel of the archers, a little advantage, often bring huge damage, and the pile of wooden boulders on the pass is the key to holding the Keiguan.
