"Help!" I don't know who made a terrible scream, this sound directly broke the last psychological defense line of the Chu soldiers, and the fear instantly invaded the whole body of the Chu soldiers, they couldn't stand it anymore, and they all collapsed to the ground in fright, staring at the direction in ...... but they were all battlements. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, something really appeared on the battlement, a hand, a dry and white finger inserted into the battlement, as if tearing human flesh and blood! Immediately afterward, countless ghost hands appeared in the faint firelight and grabbed the battlements.

Ghosts, there really are ghosts!

Finally, the Chu soldiers could no longer withstand the torture of fear, and ran to the city like crazy.

Suddenly, a blood-stained face appeared at the battlement, and then, countless faces appeared, almost at the same time, they turned up the city, glanced at the empty road, they were all stunned, and then took off the clothes of the Chu soldiers on their bodies three or two times, revealing the black scale armor in them.

They were all warriors, and as for those ghost claws, they were just flying claws they used to climb.

Everyone was silent, pulled out the cold knife and went down the steps on the side of the city, strangely there was no Chu soldier on duty, the heavy city gate was slowly opened, and a soldier took out the horn on his waist and blew it into the darkness in the distance.

"Uhhh

The sound of the desolate horn sounded fiercely! In the night, the rumbling sound suddenly became louder, closer and closer, louder and louder, as if there was a demonic beast that had been brutal and approached in the night, as the thunder became louder, countless pairs of dark eyes appeared in the darkness one after another, it was tens of thousands of fierce iron horses!

All poured into the city.

The sound of the horn woke up Han Shu in the nightmare, and the enemy attacked at this time, but why couldn't we hear the war drums of our side.

Immediately, the shouts of killing outside were loud and intensified.

Han Shu suddenly sensed that something was wrong, hurriedly dressed up, and walked out. Not long after Fang went out, Han Shu, who had just gotten rid of the nightmare, ushered in another nightmare!

"Lord Commander, the enemy army has entered the city!" A Chu soldier looked flustered, covered in blood.

What the!

"Panic what!" Han Shu panicked in his heart, and reprimanded, "Why didn't my Yanmen soldiers intercept it?" ”

"Because they're all dead." Chu Bing's tone suddenly became gloomy, and a dagger appeared in his hand at some point.

Han Shu was startled, took a step back, and asked sharply, "Who are you?"

Chu Bing smiled gloomily: "Major of the Yanmen Inner Guard Mansion." After speaking, before Han Shu could react, the dagger in his hand had already been slashed......

In the Interior Guard's Mansion, the name of the assassin must not be revealed, even to a dying person.

Han Shu did not arrive at the battle in time, and the Chu army was leaderless, and was defeated and retreated by the Han Ming cavalry. Not long after, the head of Han Shu appeared in Pei Yun's hands, and the Chu army was frightened, frightened, and without fighting spirit, and all the remaining people surrendered.

The earth-shattering noise quickly subsided, and after a burst of water, everything returned to calm. The Han Ming cavalry was strictly disciplined, and did not take a stitch from the people, and not a single person was killed by the soldiers, and the second half of the night was silent after the commotion.

When the anxious people went out to see after dawn, the streets were as clean as washing, and everywhere was still the same as before, how could there be traces of war, as if everything last night was a dream, only the An Min list posted at the entrance of the city proved that Shanwu had been replaced with a new owner.

At this time, the new owner of Shanna, remembered that the soldiers who had ascended the city told him that the city was empty last night, and he couldn't help laughing.

Last night, the army left slowly until late in the evening, precisely to take advantage of the night to cover the soldiers who were disguised under the belly of the horse. After the army retreated temporarily, the hundreds of soldiers mixed with the corpses of the Chu soldiers, waiting for the night to guard the Chu soldiers when they were drowsy and tried to attack the city.

Ben didn't report much on this operation, and Pei Yun had already told the soldiers who went to the city to notice that something was wrong and return immediately.

Pei Yun didn't expect that just a casual act with a bit of a mischievous nature actually contributed to the success of this city capture.

That is, when he was about to retreat, he ordered someone to turn over some of the corpses of the Chu soldiers, facing the head of Shanwu City, just to scare and scare the Chu soldiers, but it caused a miraculous effect.

When they talked to the generals, they all laughed.

As soon as the morning dawned, the ignorant Yanmen officials were taken to the government office, saw Shanwu's new master, and reluctantly submitted to Pei Yun under the threat of his life.

Pei Yun didn't take this to heart.

It was a long time to win the hearts and minds of the people, and he believed that, under his leadership, the reluctance of these people was only temporary, but the conversion was inevitable.

After that, the messengers sent by Pei Yun sent to the counties with the inscriptions stamped with the Taishou seal, and all of them were taken by the soldiers, all of whom expressed their submission.

Pei Yun immediately ordered Wei Huan to lead 5,000 troops to garrison Pingcheng and defend the soldiers and horses of the county; There are 3,000 soldiers in Pingping, stationed in Shanwu, and is responsible for mobilizing grain and grass.

The rest of the army turned south and stationed in Loufu City, using Shanwu as a logistics base to prepare for tackling key problems. And the dangerous pass to be captured this time is the Yanmen Pass, which is known as "the outer strength of the same domain guard, the lock and key of Taiyuan inside, the root of the three passes, and the throat of the whole Jin".

It is reported that there are less than 1,000 soldiers stationed in Yanmen Pass on a daily basis, but it is enough to give Pei Yun a headache. After temporarily stationing in Loufu City, Pei Yun led a few horses and first went to the Chengling Mountains to check the terrain.

Shanling, the locals call the Gouzhu Mountain, the peaks here are upright, the terrain is dangerous, since the construction of the Yanmen Pass, there is more one husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open the trend!

As the more south you go, the terrain begins to become rugged, until you reach a wide ditch, go along the ditch, you enter a narrow valley, here is the ancient dangerous road of Yanmen that the people of the Inner Guard Mansion sent to the drawings, the peaks and peaks on both sides are stacked with cockroaches, and the strange stones are sinister in the sky.

Pei Yun frowned, with such a terrain, it is still difficult for foot soldiers to walk, let alone cavalry. After walking a distance, there is a steep mountain beam. Pei Yun had to abandon his horse and climb over the mountain beam on foot, and the Yanmen Pass finally jumped into view.

Although he had already seen the danger of Yanmen Pass from the detailed drawings of the Internal Guard Mansion, seeing it with his own eyes at this time made Pei Yun have a headache and was more shocking.

"There are nine stops in the world, led by Yanmen, and it really lives up to its reputation."

Steep in the mountains, high on the top of the mountains, the east and west wings, the mountains are undulating, the left and right are the ridge of the Great Wall, its potential is winding and precipitous! Yanmen Pass is adjacent to Longling and Yanmen Mountain in the east, and is close to Longshan Mountain in the west, and the two mountains face each other, and the shape is like a noisy door.

At this time, there are no five passes on the Great Wall, and there is no saying that the Pingxing Pass, the Bauhinia Pass, the Reverse Horse Pass in the east and the Xuangangkou, Ningwu Pass, and the Yaotou Pass in the west are not yet passed. But even so, it is difficult to overcome this hurdle.

The mountain is inclined to the west from the northeast, so there are two gates of east and west in Yanmen Pass, all of which are stacked with huge bricks, passing through the wild goose through the clouds, the magnanimity is lofty, and the air is majestic and volleying! The only way to get to Yanmen Pass is a winding and rugged path that is only large enough for four or five people to walk in parallel.

Pei Yun frowned tightly, even if there were only a thousand defenders in Guanzhong, it was enough to resist hundreds of thousands of troops. In the face of this pass, it is nothing more than a plan to lure the enemy out of the city and to cooperate with the outside world. But how could the defenders inside be stupid enough to go out of the customs to confront the enemy army, not to mention the cooperation between the inside and the outside, unless someone from the Inner Guard Mansion went in, but after Pei Yun asked, the answer was no.

Pei Yun was not familiar with the terrain of the north at first, so he didn't know the importance of this Yanmen Pass, and at this time, combined with the drawings of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan County, he found a very serious problem.

The north of Yanmen Pass belongs to the basin, and most of Yanmen County is in the basin, which is why the further south you go, the steeper the terrain becomes.

Yanmen Pass south is the same basin, between the two basins are blocked by the Hengshan Mountain Range again, the Hengshan Mountain Range is connected to the Taihang Mountain in the east, the Luliang Mountain in the west, the mountain range is high and steep, the ditch stream is tortuous, it is the moat. Only the mountains near Yanmen Pass are narrowed and lowered in height and can be passed, if it were not for this, the First Emperor would not have set up a pass here.

With such an important situation, it is natural to control the north and the south. If you can't pass Yanmen Pass, it is equivalent to isolating the entire three northern counties from the Central Plains, unless Pei Yun raises troops to go east and west. However, there are also dangerous passes such as Jianmen Pass in the east, and Qiang people entrenched in the west.

On the other hand, through the Yanmen Pass, it is a place in Xinding, and Xinding is the gate of Taiyuan again, once Xinding is lost, then Taiyuan must not be guaranteed, Taiyuan is not guaranteed, the door of the Central Plains is wide open, and the iron horse can be ridden vertically and horizontally.

Therefore, there is a saying that the wild goose gate will win the world, and the wild goose gate will lose the Central Plains.

Moreover, there is a serious matter at the moment, that is, the 300,000 Chu army led by Zhong Lifang is on the way to Yanmen. If Zhong Lifang seized the opportunity and arrived at Yanmen Pass ahead of schedule, what Pei Yun had to do was to give up tackling key problems and retreat to garrison Lou.
