Last night was dark, and the stars were gone.

Tonight, the sky is beautiful, and the sky is full of stars.

The crescent moon hangs in the air, and the moonlight is bright, illuminating the secluded mountain post road.

On the post road, the red rabbit horse galloped with its hooves, and Lu Bu poured Fang Tian's halberd upside down, taking the lead. Behind him, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Wei Xu and others galloped on horseback, followed by eight thousand wolf cavalry, and more than 20,000 foot soldiers were far behind, running wildly.

"Feng Xian, stop and rest for a while, the infantry behind has fallen too far. This place is not far from Wuguan, and it will be half an hour to reach Wuguan City. While galloping, Chen Gong chased Lu Bu with his horse and shouted loudly.

"Appeal ———"

Hearing this, Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at the infantry army, indeed as Chen Gong said, the infantry army was already more than ten miles behind, and if he bypassed the bend in front, he was afraid that he would not be able to see the infantry army behind. Suddenly, Lübulema slowly stopped, stopped on the side of the road, and said in a loud voice: "Rest for a while, and then leave after the infantry arrives!" ”

"Hu ———" rode his horse to Lu Bu's side, Chen Gong lay on the horse's back and gasped for breath, Zhang Liao also had flushed cheeks and breathed heavily. Only Lu Bu breathed evenly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and his expression was as usual.

Lü Bu's army began to march from the west of the sun, and passed through the Qinling Mountain Road in the evening, and now it is midnight, and the army has been marching rapidly for nearly five hours, running hundreds of miles in one breath. Fortunately, along the way, most of them are downhill, which is more labor-saving, otherwise the infantry behind is afraid that they will already be physically exhausted.

After taking a breath, Chen Gong asked Lu Bu with difficulty: "Fengxian, I don't know who the Wuguan guard will be?" Will he put us passcodes? ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned and snorted coldly, glanced at Zhang Liao beside him, and then turned his head to look at the infantry army coming slowly behind him, and did not answer.

After Zhang Liao got Lu Bu's signal. He said in a low voice: "When the military division first arrived in Xiliang, he didn't know much about the garrisons of the Xiliang Army, so he was asked to solve the doubts of the military division. Previously, the Xiliang Army was roughly divided into three major defense areas. Nearly 100,000 troops under Li Dao and Guo Yan were stationed on the front line of Anyi, guarding the natural danger of Hangu Pass; Duan Xuan's troops stationed in Huayin were the backup of Li Guo's army. Niu Fu led 50,000 troops to garrison Xiliang to defend against threats and alien invasions from the southwest; Hu Zhen's troops were stationed in three auxiliaries to defend Chang'an. Xu Rong's department was stationed on the main road to the south, garrisoned Lantian, and guarded Wuguan.

The guard general of Wuguan is Yang Ding. This person was originally Xiliang Haoqiang, and he and Hu Zhen were known as 'Xiliang Shuangjie'. Quite famous. In addition, Yang Ding had a very good personal relationship with Xu Rong, and he had previously gone to the court with Xu Rong to ask for a pardon for his crimes, and was willing to join the court. The reason why Wen Hou chose to go south from Wuguan this time was to conclude that Xu Rong and Yang Ding's two generals would not dare to stop our army. The truth is just as Wen Hou expected. When our army passed through the Lantian camp last night, Xu Rong did not send troops to stop it, and then did not send troops to chase after it. And so it goes. Yang Ding, the general of Wuguan, has always looked forward to Xu Rong's horse. It is expected that he will not dare to stop our army from moving south. What's more, there are only 3,000 defenders in Wuguan, and our army has 30,000 horse infantry troops, even if they forcibly attack the city and cover up their unpreparedness, they can quickly capture the pass. ”

"Oh, I see. So to speak. Our army has no worries about going south. Chen Gong suddenly realized.

Zhang Liao looked stunned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "It stands to reason that as long as our army passes through the Qinling Mountains, there will be no more danger. It's just that things are impermanent. If Yang Ding doesn't know the current affairs and insists on blocking it, it will be really troublesome. Although Wuguan is not as dangerous as Hangu Pass, it is not much different, and it is easy to defend and difficult to defend. In addition, the terrain in Shang County is special, and the post road is full of lofty mountains and mountains, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. If our army can't capture the pass in one go, then the situation facing our army will be very passive, and if Li Li's army is chasing and killing behind us, then we are very likely to be annihilated! ”

"Humph! If Yang Ding didn't know whether he was alive or dead, a certain family would send him back to the West directly. Wuguan is an imperative for our army! Lu Bu, who had been tilting his head sideways, suddenly said in a cold tone.

After Zhang Liao and Chen Gong heard this, they immediately looked at each other, and then nodded yes. Both of them knew that Lu Bu had been holding back his anger in his heart and had never been able to vent it, so they didn't dare to provoke Lu Bu at this time, otherwise it would be easy to get burned.

In fact, the fall of Chang'an City was not only Lu Bu's heart, but also Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Wei Xu and others. It's too cowardly, and seeing that the good situation is ruined in one fell swoop, the officers and men of the whole army are holding back the fire in their bellies, and there is nowhere to vent. It's just that the long-distance raid of one day and two nights has long consumed the anger of the soldiers, and now they are physically and mentally exhausted and complaining.

————————————————

After more than half an hour, Lu Bu led 30,000 cavalry to slowly approach Wuguan. Hundreds of scouts had quietly climbed the mountains and forests on both sides of the gate, but the defenders at the head of the city were unaware of it, still leaning against the female wall and dozing off.

On the horizon, the crescent moon is bright and the stars are shining.

At this time, it was the time of midnight dreaming, around Wuguan, the moonlight was cold, and the mountains and forests were lonely. Occasionally, there was a scream and wail of the jungle when they were dying, mixed with the cooing of the nightingale, which made people feel inexplicably frightened and shudder.

In a few moments, Lu Bu's army was already in battle under the pass, and he himself took Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, Wei Xu and others to leap in front of the pass.

His eyes stared coldly at the panicked defenders at the head of the city, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, and he suddenly shouted: "Light the torch and knock!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom———"

With Lu Bu's order, the 30,000 army lit thousands of torches in a few breaths, illuminating the surroundings in front of the pass as if it were daylight, and the fire was bright.

"Where is Yang Ding, the general of Wuguan? General Fenwei of the Han Dynasty and loyal 、、、 Wenhou Lu Bu came to knock! The moment the torch was lit, Wei Xu beat his horse and galloped to the gate, shouting loudly.

Originally, Wei Xu was going to report Lu Bu's title of Marquis of Zhongyi, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt that the "Marquis of Zhongyi" was a little difficult to speak, and immediately decided to report Lu Bu's previous title of "Marquis of Wen".

Indeed, what Lu Bu did really couldn't afford the word "loyalty". At this point, whether it is Wei Xu, Cao Xing, Zhang Liao and other generals, or ordinary soldiers in the army, when mentioning Lu Bu's title, they deliberately avoid the title of "Marquis of Loyalty" and still call him "Marquis Wen".

The soldiers called him so, and Lu Bu didn't notice anything wrong at first, but then he noticed the trickiness in it. In this regard, even though he was angry, he could only grit his teeth and swallow the anger in his heart. Since then, he hates who calls him "Zhongyi Hou" the most, because he feels that it is the other party who provokes him, deliberately exposes his scars, and deliberately disgusts him.

The title of Marquis of Zhongyi, Lu Bu didn't want others to mention it, but he gladly accepted the position of General Fenwei. Because this position is equivalent to the general of the world's soldiers and horses, it is extremely prominent, and the position is more than the three dukes, how can you give up easily!

"Oooo

When Wei Xu continued to shout loudly in front of the pass, he saw that a large group of armor soldiers suddenly appeared on the head of the city, and in the blink of an eye, they were all over the city, and there were two or three thousand people. Immediately afterwards, surrounded by more than a dozen majestic generals in high-grade battle armor, a tall young general strode to the center of the city tower, and then all the generals dispersed and stood around the young general.

"It's too late, Li has been waiting for a long time! Loyal and righteous marquis, don't come to harm? Haha! "At the head of the city, in Li Zhi, Dian Wei, and Xu Rong. Surrounded by Tie Tuo and Yang Ding and other generals, Li Li came out of the crowd, looked down at Lu Bu's army in front of the pass, and shouted.

"Ah——— Lili?" As soon as Li Li's words came out, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing and others shouted in horror.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Boom, boom, boom———"

At the moment when Lu Bu and the others screamed, hundreds of corpses suddenly flew down from the mountains and forests on both sides of the pass, and these people were the scouts that Lu Bu had sent to lurk on the mountains on both sides before. Immediately, I saw the torches that could not be seen at a glance on the hills on both sides abruptly, and the mountains and forests and post roads under Wuguan City and more than ten miles in the northwest direction were illuminated brightly, as if the mountains and forests were on fire at the same time, and the momentum was huge. The slamming light of the fire startled countless birds in the jungle to suddenly rise into the air, screaming and hissing; Countless wild creatures in the forest fled in panic, and wolves howled and rats howled one after another, and the cries were sharp and piercing, which was terrifying. In the sound of rustling, many loose rocks and sand rolled down one after another, instantly hitting hundreds of Lu Bu soldiers who could not dodge.

"Ahh As the falling stones continued to hit the soldiers close to the foot of the mountain, the terrible screams made Lu Bujun's army instantly chaotic, and many soldiers crowded to the middle area, for fear that they would be hit by the stone in the next second.

"We are surrounded!"

"It's over, there is no way to live ahead, there are ambushes behind, we are doomed!"

"I don't want to die, I still have my mother, wife and children at home, I can't die!"

Suddenly, the formation of Lu Bu's army was chaotic. Many soldiers desperately moved closer to the middle, and many soldiers screamed loudly, wanting to run but not daring to run, and if they didn't run, they were worried that their lives would not be guaranteed, so they could only wail loudly and pray for mercy from heaven.

"How so? Li Li's army actually rushed ahead of our army to seize Wuguan, it was really a death for me! Turning his head to look at the dense Wuwei army on the hills on both sides and the torches with no end in sight, Lu Bu was shocked and inexplicable, and lamented in despair.

Lu Bu was still like this, and Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing and others who were standing beside him were even more desperate. Their expressions were sluggish, their faces were pale, their eyes were empty and gloomy, like mourning, and they looked at the countless Wuwei troops and the dazzling firelight on the hill in despair.

At this moment, Lu Bu, who has always been brave and fearless, was frightened and desperate, and was stunned. He held Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and under his crotch was the neighing red rabbit horse, but he didn't dare to move, his eyes were flustered and frightened, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The general is the courage of the soldiers, and the commander is the soul of the army. Lu Bu's panicked appearance directly caused the 30,000 cavalry behind him to instantly collapse and collapse. The reason why they didn't run away was because they knew they couldn't run away and didn't dare to run. If there is a glimmer of escape, they will never hesitate to turn around and run, run as fast as they are difficult, and run as far as they can. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
