On the fifth day of the ninth month of the twelfth year of Jian'an, as the sun set, the earth fell into darkness. Hangu Pass in the middle of the night, like a behemoth, lies tightly in the mountains.

This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Ten miles outside Hangu Pass, in a mountain col, everything is silent.

However, if anyone comes here, they will be scared half to death.

In the hazy moonlight, 30,000 cavalry stood silently. Behind the mask of iron armor are a pair of eyes that reveal ruthlessness. The knights carried swords and spears in their hands, and there were red lines faintly in the sharp edges. Obviously, he has drunk the blood of the world and is still condensed.

I saw a general, and said to another one-eyed general next to him: "The hour is almost up, General Xiahou, let's go out!" ”

The one-eyed general tightened the big knife in his hand and said, "This secret operation must be fast, accurate, and ruthless." ”

Therefore, 30,000 cavalrymen were grassy, horses and hooves were wrapped, so that the soldiers and horses were silent, surprised, and defeated the enemy when they marched.

At the same time, Hangu Seki.

The military zone is brightly lit, and the villages where the people live are controlled by lights. Soldiers on the corner platform and arrow tower are on guard, and there are soldiers patrolling between the bluestone avenue and the barracks.

A qiē is the same as ever.

When it was estimated that the third watch was on the third watch, noisy footsteps sounded in the mountains on the north side of Hangu Pass. In the pupils of the human figure, I don't know how many people are moving. Occasionally, there was a flicker of light in the figure, apparently holding a sharp weapon.

"Cao Xing, the success or failure of this time is related to the great cause of the lord's march into the Central Plains. You must move forward bravely, even if you die on the battlefield, you must open the Hangu Gate! ”

"A certain swear to follow General Cao Chun!"

This group of people smeared down the mountain. Quietly, he looked at the west gate of Hangu Guancheng and left.

About the fourth watch, Cao Chun led the men and horses to touch the West Gate. I saw the military zone inside the city gates. Brightly lit. And the demilitarized zone where he is located, there is no light. Cao Chun with his men. Just hide in the dark.

Cao Chun is also battle-hardened and has some experience. I saw him prostrate on the ground, slowly crawling to the edge of the lamplight. After raising his eyes and looking around for a while, he slowly climbed back and whispered to the adjutant general Cao Xing: "The enemy is as old as ever, and the place where the lights shine is more than a hundred steps away from the city gate. The whole army was ordered to crawl forward, and after reaching the light, they rushed bravely, cutting through the lock and holding the fire as a signal. General Xiahou's cavalry is here, and you and I are done! ”

Cao Xing nodded violently. So the command to creep forward was passed out in turn.

Subsequently, 3,000 Cao soldiers lay on the ground and crawled forward under the leadership of Cao Chun and Cao Xing. It was like three thousand monitor lizards, twisting their butts and slowly approaching.

In a few moments, three thousand climbed to the edge of the light.

Cao Chun just raised his hand to signal the whole army to stop crawling.

Suddenly, there was a burst of fire around them, illuminating the three thousand in the darkness. I saw a dense patch, all lying on the ground, some of them pouting their buttocks. Some of the crotches rubbed against the ground.

Illuminated by the firelight, Cao Bing was in a commotion, and when he looked around, he found that he had been surrounded by the Qin army. Yet they suddenly came from darkness to light. Subconsciously think it's not true. Therefore, he still pouted and lay on the ground without moving. It's like a dustpan insect that has been attacked. I just thought that if I didn't move, I would be fine.

Cao Chun was the same, surprised. Prostrate and raise your hand to freeze on the spot.

Hearing a loud laugh, all the Cao soldiers lay on the ground and raised their eyes. Seeing not far away, not far away, the two Qin generals stood side by side. Behind one person, there will be a big book of flags "Hejian Zhanghe", and behind one person, there will be a big book of flags "Runan Chen to".

Zhang He pointed at the Cold Moon Soul Gun in his hand and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as expected by the military advisor, a group of clowns who jumped off the beam also dared to make trouble in my Hangu Pass." ”

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Look at these people crawling on the ground, they are really like toads." ”

At this time, Cao Chun's liver was broken, and he exclaimed: "The big thing is not good, the action has been discovered!" ”

"Retreat!"

How could Zhang He let them escape, Cao Chun's voice did not fall, Zhang He held the Cold Moon Soul Spear in his hand, and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Wow!"

"Ahh

"Help, help!"

In the rain of arrows, Cao Bing, who was lying on the ground, became live targets one by one. Just a rain of arrows took the lives of Sancheng Cao Bing.

It was obvious that the Qin army had been prepared, and Cao Chun didn't know that something was wrong there, but he knew that if he ran slowly, he would definitely die. In order to survive, the big knife in his hand was rounded, and while shooting down the arrows, he hurried towards the group of soldiers.

Cao Xing followed.

Zhang He didn't allow these people to escape, and together with Chen Zhi, he led the army to rush and kill.

Zhang He was fast, chased after Cao Xing, and just one shot killed Cao Xing.

However, Cao Chun was a little luckier, and led the remaining dozens of remnants of the army to flee into the mountains.

"General Mo Chase, you must know that there is still a plan." Chen Zhi reminded.

So, Zhang He sent a thousand soldiers and horses into the mountains to encircle and suppress Cao Chun, and he himself returned to the west gate of Hangu Pass with Chen Zhi.

Inside the West Gate, Tian Feng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two of them riding their horses, he greeted them and said: "In the middle of the night, it must be a fire, which can make the sergeant set fire at the city gate, and then make the sergeant close the pretend to be chaotic." And General Zhang He can lead an army to ambush on the left, and General Chen Zhi to ambush on the right. After the army rushed into the pass, the archers closed and released their arrows, and the two generals rushed back and forth to kill, and the enemy was defeated. ”

"This is a dog fight." Tian Feng said with a smile.

"The military advisor has a brilliant plan."

Zhang He began to arrange from his words.

On the other hand, three miles in front of Hangu Pass, in the endless darkness, a biao army and horses stand quietly.

The leader is Xiahou Dun, the general of the Cao Army, who scratched his ears and cheeks at this moment, and said: "Seeing that the fourth watch is approaching, why is there no movement in Hangu Pass?" ”

Cao Hong beside him said: "Don't be impatient, the general, I think there will be movement soon." ”

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the fourth watch, I only heard shouts in the distance, and flames burst out in the distance in the darkness, and the entire Hangu Kansai city wall was visible under the flames.

Xiahoudun was overjoyed and exclaimed: "This must be General Cao Chun's success, pass on my general's order, and the whole army will assault!" ”

Immediately, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and 30,000 tigers and leopards rode into a torrent and went away to Hangu Pass.

Three miles away, 1,500 meters, a healthy horse galloping in minutes.

When Xiahoudun came to Hangu Pass first. Then I saw the door open and the drawbridge down. In the midst of a roaring fire. The Qin army was chaotic in the pass, and the fighting in the pass continued.

Xiahoudun only thought that he had succeeded. In excitement, he shouted: "The decisive battle is tonight, all the soldiers should fight to the death, take Hangu Pass and open the passage into the Central Plains!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!" 30,000 tigers and leopards are the elite of Cao Cao's elite, so as to compete for the capital of the world. The knights of the whole army, all of them are one as ten, and their combat power is extraordinary.

When Xiahou was riding his horse to attack, Cao Hong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Zhang He is the general of the Qin army. Awarded the title of five good generals, known as wise and scheming, it is necessary to leave a back hand. The general is the main general, and outside the city, he will enter the city first to find out. ”

Xiahoudun obeyed his words, and divided the soldiers and horses into three teams, and Cao Hong led one team to enter first.

In the sound of horses' hooves, Cao Hong took the lead with a big knife. After entering the Hangu Pass, look around. I only heard the sound of killing, but there was no one to see. In such a strange situation, it is almost impossible to think about it to know why. He was immediately shocked and shouted, "It's not good, Cao Chun didn't succeed. Our army has been tricked! ”

Cao Hong turned his horse back, and shouted at the same time: "Retreat quickly!" ”

However, a large battalion of cavalry rumbled into the city gates. For a while, it was able to block there. With a slight delay, 10,000 tigers and leopards rode on. Enter the open space inside the city gates.

"The back team becomes the front team, quickly retreat!" Cao Hong kept yelling.

That's when it happened. A cannon rang out, and countless rockets rose into the air all around. When it fell, it almost became like a meteor shower, illuminating the sky and harvesting the lives of Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riders.

Rao is tiger and leopard riders are all elite, and in the case of the scheme, they were covered by rockets, and they suddenly became a mess.

Then, in the sound of golden drums, the shouts came like a river overturning the sea. I saw Zhang He on the left leading the army to kill, Chen Zhi on the right leading the army to kill, and tens of thousands of troops on both sides attacked and killed.

The 10,000 tigers and leopards who entered the pass were completely chaotic, and they collided with each other in the retreat.

Zhang He and Chen Zhi took the opportunity to wave their troops to surround and slaughter, and Guancheng Ueda Feng mobilized all the archers to rain arrows.

Under the siege of the three parties, more than 5,000 people were killed in a few breaths.

Cao Hong rushed left and right, unable to rush out, seeing that the soldiers and horses around him were about to be killed, he shouted: "My life is over!" ”

At this time, Xiahoudun, who was waiting outside the city, knew the plan and fought desperately to enter the pass, which rescued Cao Hong.

The tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army retreated in a hurry, and Zhang He and Chen Zhi led the 5,000 cavalry of the Black Mountain Legion, chasing more than 50 miles all the way, and met the vanguard of the Cao army brigade in the morning, and then returned to Hangu Pass.

This battle smashed Cao Cao's conspiracy to occupy Hangu Pass, and killed nearly 10,000 of his elite tigers and leopards. Severely frustrated Cao Cao's military plan to quickly advance his troops and divide the Central Plains.

When Xiahoudun and Cao Hong were nervous and retreated, Cao Cao's army was already less than fifty miles from Hangu Pass.

Cao Cao immediately went down to the village and caught the defeated soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

In the big tent, Cao Cao, who heard what was going on, jumped to his feet angrily, angrily pointed at the two Xiahoudun who were kneeling in the tent, and said, "Why? I will hand over the tiger and leopard ride to the two of you, and you will bring me such a result? ”

Xiahoudun was sweating, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, according to the predetermined plan, the last general saw that Hangu Pass was on fire and the city gate was wide open, so he set troops into the pass. Who knew that after entering the customs, no trace of General Cao Chun was found, and the Qin army had already prepared, so it was defeated. Fortunately, before entering the customs, he was reminded by General Cao Hong that only a team of soldiers and horses was sent into the city. ”

Cao Cao was even more angry, kicked the case in front of him and flew out with one kick, pointed and roared: "According to your meaning, you brought back 20,000 horses, or do you have merit?" ”

"The last general will not dare!" Xiahoudun just kowtowed.

On the side, Cao Hong hurriedly said: "What General Xiahou said is the truth, it's really strange not to see General Cao Chun." ”

At this time, Cao Chunwolf was unbearable, and asked for guilt: "The last general is guilty, the plan to attack Hangu Pass at night was seen through, General Cao Xing was killed in battle, please punish ......." ”

Cao Cao's face turned blue and white for a while, and anger rolled in his heart. However, these people kneeling under the tent are either uncles and brothers or brothers-in-law, and now Cao Cao has no generals with foreign surnames in his hands, and if he kills these people, he will become a commander of the light pole.

So, Cao Cao swallowed a few breaths, swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva, barely suppressed his anger, and said in a suffocated voice: "This is the will of heaven, I don't blame you for ......." However, Cao Cao was really angry, and roared: "The Japanese soldiers will enter Hangu Pass, build more stone throwing weapons, and smash Hangu open!" ”

Ten days later.

In Xiangyang City, when Qin Feng was discussing the matter of entering Jiangling with the military advisers in the temporary palace, he received a report from Hanguguan requesting support.

It turned out that after Cao Cao arrived at Hangu Pass, he did not attack. Instead, hundreds of large trebuchets were built and smashed Hangu Pass in anger. If it were a plain land, so many trebuchets would not be able to find enough stones. However, Hangu Pass is in the middle of the lofty mountains, which is convenient for digging huge stones, so there is a steady stream of "cannonballs".

If Cao Bing is allowed to smash Hangu Pass, there is bound to be a danger of the city wall collapsing. Hangu guard general Zhang He sent troops many times, but Cao Cao's troops were extremely strong, surrounded by concave characters, and there were 20,000 tigers and leopards riding maneuvers, and even the Qin army went out to battle several times, and the troops were lost.

The shape was in danger, so he quickly reported to Qin Feng to ask for support.

At the same time, there was also a battle report from Xu Huang's department that was at odds with Lu Bu in Xicheng.

Qin Feng was wearing a crown robe and sitting on the throne, his brows were furrowed after receiving the battle report, and the crown bead curtain in front of his forehead was constantly shaking and colliding. Although he won the victory against Sun Quan and Liu Bei, there was a crisis behind him at this moment.

There is a red-faced woman Shi Xin Xianying, who records in the curtain behind the throne: In September of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, the king of Qin received a report from the Northwest War ....... She couldn't help but stop her pen and began to think, "Will King Qin continue his southern expedition with all his might, or will he return to support the northwest battlefield?" (To be continued......)
