……

Although the sky is dusk, the snow-shrouded Yanmen Pass is still relatively bright.

As the border pass that once resisted the Xiongnu, the Yanmen Pass that was praised as the first pass in the world by later generations was built according to the mountain, forming a towering Xiongguan, the towering city wall winds along with the ups and downs of the mountain, the beacon tower stands on the highest mountain range, the ten-zhang high pass is located in the canyon like a gate, and the passage leading to the grassland outside the Central Plains is choked.

In the past, King Wuling of Zhao carried out reforms in order to be strong, Hu Fu cavalry defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fu, built Yunzhong, Yanmen, Daijun, and built Xiongguan to defend against the attack of the grassland nomads, and then Li Mu was ordered to guard Yanmen to defend against the Xiongnu, resulting in the Xiongnu never being able to break through the Yanmen Pass and not to invade the Central Plains, and then later, Li Mu led a large army out of Yanmen Pass, breaking the Xiongnu more than 100,000 horses, resulting in the Xiongnu not daring to invade the south for decades, so that Zhao State obtained an unprecedented opportunity for development, and quickly rose to become one of the seven heroes of the Warring States.

And a few years ago, Meng Tian also commanded the elite horses and soldiers of the Great Qin to go out of the customs in four ways, Yanmen is one of them, the Huns were decided in a war, so far the grasslands outside the pass were also included in the territory of the Great Qin, and now they are divided into the Dai Kingdom, and the places occupied by the Xiongnu in the past have all become the princes of the Great Qin, and the Central Plains has no Xiongnu disaster since then.

Today's Yanmen Pass has lost its military value in the past, the 300,000 troops in the northwest are reduced and only 60,000 remain, which is led by the Marquis of Wucheng, and 60,000 soldiers and horses are scattered in the Great Wall passes on the border of Yanzhao in the past, and the camp of the Northern Army is set up in Loufan County outside Yanmen Pass.

At this time, under the towering city wall of Yanmen Pass, in the snow, countless angry people with knives, guns and sticks gathered near the pass and shouted on the city wall, demanding that the guards punish the murderers, the number of people has reached more than 10,000, and people continue to gather in the distance.

And up and down the city wall of the city pass, guarding Lu Rong, Zhao Bao, the captain of the pass, is leading more than 2,000 generals guarding the pass to open their bows and crossbows and wait for the battle, and there are countless people on the Great Wall on both sides are running back and forth to carry bows and arrows and weapons under the scolding of the soldiers.

And looking at the angry people roaring and shouting under the city wall, Lu Rong and Zhao Bao were both distorted, they never thought that because of a small incident at the beginning, it would cause such a big riot to break out among the people of Zhao Di today.

Yanmen Pass as a pass to resist foreign invasion, the design is not the external and internal defensive measures, the high wall arrow buttress and the goose-shaped city wall are facing the direction of the grassland, and the inner city in addition to a military camp, is a large number of ordnance and grain and grass warehouse, if at this time the tens of thousands of angry people rushed into the barracks, the ordnance grain and grass to take away, then the consequences dare not imagine, in this era of all the people are soldiers, tens of thousands of people who get the Daqin standard ordnance will instantly become an armed army, and then with the two thousand soldiers guarding the pass, Absolutely impossible to resist.

And once these people occupy Yanmen Pass, even if the Marquis of Wucheng arrives tomorrow with a large army on the border, they will be blocked outside Yanmen Pass.

In that way, Yanmen Pass will become a city pass for the first time to defend the domestic army.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and there are blazing torches all over the city, and the firelight stains the area within a radius of more than ten miles, and in the distance, you can faintly see the firelight and noisy sounds of Guangwu County, dozens of miles away.

The soldiers defending the city were terrified, and the people who gathered to surround the city were getting closer and closer to the barracks, and even the soldiers on the tower could see the angry and roaring faces in the light of the fire.

"Wang Li's army is a bandit, bad General Li Mu's ancestral temple, you will rush into the barracks with me to snatch the ordnance, and fight to the death with Wang Li tomorrow, you are bound to avenge the general with this evil breath!" Among the bandits, a burly middle-aged man raised an iron gun in his hand and roared.

"Rush in, fight to the death with Wang Li tomorrow, and avenge General Li Mu!" Beside the big man, several men who were also tall and strong each raised their weapons and roared.

"Kill, avenge the general!" Tens of thousands of people brandished knives, guns, and clubs in their hands and roared.

"Kill~~"

The spear in the big man's hand pointed forward, and tens of thousands of mobs moved instantly, roaring and shouting and rushing towards the barracks.

"Bow and crossbow, shoot~~" As a few horns sounded, some generals in the barracks roared, and the archers hiding behind the camp walls and shields stood up, pulled out their longbows and shot sharp arrows.

Arrows flew in the dark snowlight, accompanied by one terrible scream after another, and the mob that rushed to the barracks fell in pieces, but this did not stop the angry people, and in the midst of the clamor of shouts, tens of thousands of people flooded the barracks like a black tide in the night.

"Boom~" The wooden barracks were knocked open by a gap, and the angry mob rushed into the camp, led by a group of bandits armed with steel spears and weapons obviously strong martial arts, spears and swords swept around, and one by one the soldiers were cut down and flew out, and soon a large area was vacated in the camp, and more mobs rushed into the barracks.

"Hold on, you must hold until General Wang Li's reinforcements arrive!" Above the city pass, the guard Lu Rong roared at the commander Zhao Bao.

"Kill the bandits with Ben!" Zhao Bao choked and pulled out the big sword at his waist, and led the soldiers on the city wall to rush down the stairs.

Two thousand soldiers guarding the pass and tens of thousands of rioting people launched a bloody battle in the narrow Yanmen Pass.

A battle raged for an hour, thousands of dead and wounded, corpses and wails everywhere, the snow was already stained red with mud, discarded torches lit the haystacks of houses, and the flames that rose into the air stained half the sky.

2,000 guards also suffered heavy casualties, and hundreds of corpses were left behind under the city pass to retreat to the city pass, the entire military camp has been completely occupied by the mob, a large number of bows, crossbows, knives and guns were taken out of the warehouse by the people and began to arm, and a large number of grain and horses were looted and requisitioned by the mob.

The well-equipped mob began to organize archers to attack the city pass, because of this kind of external and internal building pattern, the city pass is basically in a position where there is no danger to defend, there is no city gate, no entrance, no horse rejection fence, and there are several steps straight to the city wall, under the crazy attack of the mob, the soldiers guarding the pass can only desperately defend and counterattack, the time lasts until late at night, the bows and crossbows on the city wall are exhausted, and under the crazy suppression of the mob, it has been impossible to form an effective counterattack, and a large number of mobs began to hit the floor along the steps, The entire Yanmen Pass was full of blood, and the corpses were piled up under the layers.

"I can't hold it anymore, I'm afraid I won't hold out until dawn, find a way to ......" Zhao Bao rushed to the top of the city tower covered in blood and yelled.

"Lord Lu, hurry up and light the beacon tower and ask the Marquis of Wucheng for help!" Guangwu County, who fled to take refuge here, made Fu Rui open his mouth in horror next to him.

"It's too late, open the city gate and go directly to the barracks to ask for help from the Marquis of Wucheng, otherwise I will die here today!" Guan Shou Lu Rong said with an extremely ugly face.

"Abandonment...... Is it a capital offense to abandon the gate? Zhao Bao looked at Lu Rong with a twisted cheek.

"Hmph, this matter is the disaster caused by Wang Li, now the bandits have obtained weapons and armor, and there are less than a thousand people left to defend, it is a capital crime to abandon the pass, but this matter cannot be all pushed on us after all, the culprit is Wang Li, leave quickly!" Lu Rong turned around and walked towards the city gate under the escort of a group of personal guards.

"Lord Lu, wait for the next official!" Guangwu County Commander also hurriedly followed.

"Abandon the pass, retreat~" Looking at Lu Rong's hasty back and trailing to Guangwu County as if he was being chased by a dog, Zhao Bao gritted his teeth and issued a retreat order, accompanied by a few low and long horns, the soldiers who guarded the officers quickly gave up resistance and flocked to the city gate.

Soon the mob rushed up the city wall to occupy the city tower, both sides of the city wall were also occupied, under the command of the bandits, the open city gate was closed again, although the weather was cold at this time, but there were still countless people from the direction of Guangwu County, the city pass up and down the siege tightly, and lit the forage fence to keep warm, search for weapons and armor to arm themselves, ready to fight to the death tomorrow with the reinforcements of Wang Li.

Since Wang Li's army destroyed Jingbian Temple in March last year, the evil spirit that had been accumulated for a long time by the people of Zhao finally broke out.

The people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death.

Under the collusion of officers and soldiers and the strong pressure of Wang Li, the people of Zhao, who were already unruly and full of hatred for Daqin, finally used their blood to hijack this patriotic Xiongguan in the minds of the people of Zhao.

In an instant, the night passed, as the sky brightened, a touch of red glow on the horizon became brighter and brighter, when a round of red sun rose, the bright sun shone on Yanmen Pass, on the blood-drenched corpses of the city pass, countless mobs wearing armor and holding Daqin-style swords, guns, bows and arrows had stood densely on the city pass and the Great Wall battlements on both sides.

"Woo~~Woo~~~"

Outside the layers of lofty mountains outside Yanmen Pass, the sound of horns one after another faintly came.

More than ten miles away, an elite Great Qin cavalry was stepping on the ice and snow and galloping towards Yanmen Pass, the sound of horses' hooves was surging like thunder, the earth was shaking slightly, and the snow piled up on the trees in the mountains was falling and falling in the vibration.

At the front of the army, a burly young general with a helmet and armor, with a short beard under the jaw of a big sword hanging from his waist, his eyes were arrogant, and his face was full of murderous aura.

The young general was accompanied by Lu Rong, the guard of Yanmen Pass, Zhao Bao, the commander of Guandu, and Fu Rui, the commander of Guangwu County.

There was a group of guards with big shoulders and round waists gathered around the young people, with big swords hanging from their waists and wearing leather armor, looking murderous, and if Chen Xu was there, he would definitely be able to recognize a few, that is, Wang Qian's former personal guards, Wang Sanwang, Wang, Wang, Wang, and Qi.

"General, now that the bandits have occupied Yanmen Pass, if they can't recapture it, I'm afraid of a catastrophe!" Lu Rong said with a pale face on his horse.

"Just a group of bandits, how dare they fight against our army, it is easy to recapture Yanmen Pass, don't worry about Lu Guan, Ben Hou will personally cut off the heads of these bandits, Li Mu ...... Hmph, how dare the generals of the defeated army speak bravely, in the past, Zhao Guo was no more than Erer, what can he do now! Wang Li snorted coldly.

"Yes, yes, it's just a group of bandits, how dare you compete with the general!" Lu Rong and Zhao Bao Fu Rui both clapped their hands together.

"Major General be careful, this time the mob suddenly attacked Guangwu County and Yanmen Pass, obviously they have been preparing and planning for a long time, and now they have obtained a lot of bows, crossbows, armor, horses, grain and grass in Yanmen Pass, which can be defended and attacked, don't underestimate the enemy!" Wang Wu turned his horse and walked to Wang Li's side and whispered.

Wang Li nodded slightly and then said contemptuously: "At the beginning, I would have fought in the Liaohe River and killed tens of thousands of Donghu people, so why should I be afraid of thousands of bandits, I have my own opinions!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Wu's face twitched slightly, and after looking at each other with Wang San and a few other companions, his face showed helplessness.
