After Zhan Feng returned, he asked the generals in the battalion to discuss the battle plan, and asked them to arrange the soldiers in place one by one, and even demonstrated it in the city the next day, and also discussed it with Han Jian, and took the wounded soldiers and horses in the city out of the city by him.

In a blink of an eye, the Northern Wei Dynasty commander got the battle report in the camp, the gang of bandits who had taken refuge in Fengming Pass pulled a lot of grain and grass from Fengming Pass, and ran back to Xiagu Mountain, this Wei Lang was injured by Wanxi that day, and lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if it weren't for the heavy losses this time, the battalion could not be without the commander, Wei Wuhou had to kill him, this time Wei Wuhou also came to personally command, heard the news was extremely excited, and ordered the reporter to say in detail, the reporter said: "Fengming Pass seems to have changed at noon today, I don't know what the reason is, their own people fought, we only saw that the guards on the city wall were withdrawn, and then we saw that the group of people who had defected to Fengming Pass ran out, and drove a lot of carriages, and the man led by yelled at the war general in the city and said that Lao Tzu is not serving, with these grains and grass, it is enough for grandpa to enjoy for a while. Then he ran in the direction of Xiagu Mountain, the war general and his lieutenants seemed to be discussing whether to chase or not, but there should not be many soldiers and horses in their city, and finally the war general sent a small general with dozens of people to chase out, listening to his arrangement is to recover the grain and grass. ”

Wei Wuhou listened, his eyebrows smiled, sure enough, this Wei Lang is a disaster star, he can't beat Fengming Pass for so long, and he also lost his troops, as soon as he came to take the town, there was good news immediately, so he said: "Okay, arrange it, order all the soldiers and horses, and Benhou personally lead the troops to attack Fengming Pass." ”

Wei Lang stopped him and said, "Master Hou, don't do it." “

Wei Wuhou was displeased, and said with a sinking face: "Why not such a good opportunity?" “

Wei Lang said: "I think that the person brought down by the bandit that day is extremely brave, not like an ordinary bandit at all, and now there is such a scene under our noses, be careful and deceitful, don't be in a hurry." “

Wei Wuhou was not stupid, although he was eager to win, he also knew that what Wei Lang said made sense, so he ordered: "Probe again and report again." The reporter went down, until the sky was a little dark, and then he saw that the white-robed young general was covered in blood and returned to Fengming Pass, and the war general personally approached him to the city, and Wei Wuhou asked, "What about the grain and grass?" The reporter shook his head and said, "I didn't see any grain and grass, so I didn't grab it back." ”

Wei Wuhou said with a smile: "It's really heaven to help me, inform me, recuperate well tonight, and we will attack Fengming Pass early tomorrow morning." ”

Wei Lang hurriedly said: "Master Hou, now is the right time to attack Fengming Pass, they have withdrawn so many people, and they have lost grain and grass, and their morale is low, at this time, we will be able to break through Fengming Pass in one fell swoop." ”

This Wei Wuhou was completely unhappy, during the day I said that you stopped me from sending troops when I was fighting, and now I have arranged to send troops tomorrow, and you said that now is a good time, this month is dark and windy, in case it is really their trick, I send troops and be attacked by them again, wouldn't it be another loss of troops, so he snorted angrily and said: "Listen to Benhou's arrangement, go." Then he threw up his sleeves and left Wei Lang's tent, leaving Wei Lang alone in the tent to sigh.

Early the next morning, Wei Wuhou personally led the troops to surround Fengming Pass.

Zhan Feng thought that this day had finally come, and he asked again about the arrangement, and after reporting one by one, he heard a report from the city that the Northern Wei Dynasty had surrounded Fengming Pass, saying that if he didn't go out of the city to fight, he would attack it. Zhan Feng smiled and said to Wanxi: "Young Master Chu, let's go and have a look." ”

Wanxi was dressed in black at the moment, showing a solemn look, and followed Zhan Feng to the north city wall, the people around Wei Wuhou were begging for the enemy and scolding the formation, Zhan Feng said on the city gate: "Lord Wei, I don't dare to open the city gate to fight, but our boss is not in the city now, I don't dare to make a decision, it is better for you to go back and wait for our county king to come back and then call for the battle." ”

Wei Wuhou laughed, and said in his heart, you think I am playing with you, you said let me go back, I will go back, so he said: "Since you don't dare to open the door to fight, don't blame Benhou for being polite, soldiers, rush me." "Under the order, countless soldiers swarmed up, set up a ladder and rolled wood to attack the city, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty seemed to come from all directions, the soldiers of the city of Daliang soon couldn't parry, and fled from the city wall, the Northern Wei soldiers rushed into the city in this way, and began to search for the people in the city everywhere, Wei Wuhou laughed loudly, led the rest of the army, and entered the city.

And at this time, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the city, blocking the city gates on all sides, and the city was on fire, whether it was people or horses, none of them were spared, the people in the city escaped from the Fengming Pass from all sides according to the preset route, and with the people outside, they blocked the city gate with the rolling wood used by the Northern Wei Dynasty to attack the city, and then cut down the cloud ladder, trapped the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the city, and the Zhan Feng gave an order, and the archers prepared outside the city fired rockets into the city.

Wei Wuhou in the city, shouted that it was not good, but it was too late, watching the fire in the city burn bigger and bigger, and the black smoke became thicker and thicker, he couldn't discern the direction of the city at all, until countless soldiers fell, and the ground was scorched black, and only then did he find a small water source, and at this time there were only a few thousand people left, and Wei Wuhou was busy organizing them to put out the fire.

Zhan Feng and they were all stationed outside the city, and at this time, there were not only more than 1,000 people stationed at Fengming Pass, but also 3,000 people led by Han Jian, and 5,000 people from the reinforcement pioneer battalion led by Chen Zhuo himself. Chen Zhuo asked Zhan Feng, "When are we going to enter the city?" Zhan Feng said: "Don't worry, let the enemy soldiers inside help us put out the fire first, and then we will go in when the fire is smaller, and arrange it to watch and don't let people escape." ”

Wanxi looked at the billowing smoke floating into the air, but what she thought was, I will defend your land for you, but when will you come back?

Until the evening, under the fire extinguished by Wei Wuhou, the fire was smaller, but now it has been full of wreckage, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is the enemy army or his own people, Wei Wuhou just breathed a sigh of relief, and did not wait to enjoy the joy of victory, of course, in addition to occupying an abandoned city, he could not talk about victory, the original 50,000 horses, now there are less than 5,000 left, although the Fengming Pass is broken, they will make peace with the Western Xia, and it will not be a problem to enter the capital of the Great Liang, but, after all, the Northern Wei Dynasty has suffered heavy losses, if the time comes, the Western Xia will turn his face, Didn't we make wedding dresses for others, and we couldn't help but be irritable, but I didn't expect that at this time, under the order of Zhan Feng, the soldiers of Daliang poured into Fengming Pass like a flood that opened the floodgates, and they were full of energy after holding it for several days, like tigers coming down the mountain.
