Chapter 750: Sunrise

Of course, Xiao Shilian didn't know that Niu Hong's mind was changing now, and his attention was focused on Yangping Pass. Revealing the white belly of the fish from the sky, Xiao Shilian was standing here, and it had been half an hour, and the fashion of the early morning with a hint of coolness made Xiao Shilian feel excited, and then his gaze moved down slightly.

The army has finished cooking on the fire, and a group of soldiers have driven out of the camp in a neat manner, while the sentry horses in front of them are galloping back and forth.

In the face of such a strong pass, Xiao Shilian did not intend to be opportunistic, he believed that the surrounding mountain paths must have been blocked by Han Baohu a long time ago, so all Xiao Shilian could do was to attack tentatively.

At least he had to know how many catties and taels Han Baohu had.

The sun has risen over the horizon, and the morning light covers the land.

Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "Order, start attacking in a moment!" ”

"No!" Several generals led by Niu Hong agreed with a bang.

And Xiao Shilian strode down the hill, and the guards hurriedly followed. At the same time, in the camp at the foot of the mountain, the war drums sounded, and the soldiers and horses of the brigade marched forward in a neat queue, and the rushing carts and trebuchets received from the defenders of Hanzhong were ready for a long time.

Although the defenders of Hanzhong surrendered troops, Xiao Shilian did not let them take the lead, and it was still Xiao Shilian's soldiers and horses who opened the way in front, and the Hanzhong defenders were only responsible for the flanks.

This also made the generals of the Hanzhong departments who surrendered with Niu Hong a little more goodwill in their hearts. For Xiao Shilian, if he wants to try Han Baohu's catties, of course, he still uses his own soldiers and horses to rush up.

Xiao Shilian was uncertain about the combat power of Yangping Pass in his heart, and in fact, Han Baohu, who was standing on Yangping Pass at this time, was also uneasy in his heart.

Han Baohu can also be regarded as a general, these years to follow Yuwen Yong's southern expedition to the north, but also regarded as a repeated military exploits, after Yuwen Yong died, the entire Northern Zhou court infighting became more and more serious, Han Baohu, who was originally in the capital, has been on Yang Jian's side because of the relationship between the Han people, but he did not want to be involved in the internal struggle in Guanzhong, so he invited himself to the border.

This is naturally incredible in the eyes of many people, the struggle in the Guanzhong court is so fierce, it is an opportunity for everyone to show their talents, but this guy actually runs out without knowing what to do? However, Yang Jian did not refuse Han Baohu's request, of course he also knew that as the defenders on the border gradually moved to the interior, some young and courageous generals were indeed needed on the border to guard it, and Han Baohu was obviously a good choice.

It's just that Han Baohu didn't expect that before he reached Hanzhong, Xiao Shilian had already sent troops to attack, and before he could take a breath in Yangping Pass, Xiao Shilian's soldiers and horses were directly under Yangping Pass!

Counting it, it was only four or five days before Han Baohu took office by himself, and even the generals below were not very familiar with it, this Xiao Shilian came so quickly!

In the final analysis, this is also the first time that Han Baohu has personally commanded a battle - although it stands to reason that this battle should be commanded by Li Xun, but it is a pity that Li Xun has no way to arrive at Yangping Pass in time now, so this battle can only be commanded by Han Baohu.

The drums were beating, Han Baohu also cheered up, if he came, he would be safe, he believed that Yangping Pass was tall and strong, since Xiao Shilian had the courage to attack, then compete with him, but to see what kind of ability this Li Xinchen's left arm and right arm have.

The Bashu army under the city marched forward in a neat pace to the beat of drums, and the ladders and rushing carts were ready. And with the sound of the drums, all the soldiers stopped.

Han Baohu realized that it was not good, and hurriedly waved his hand, but before the general behind him could give the order, countless stone bullets and arrows broke through the air. The roaring boulder slammed into the city walls, and the arrows continued to sweep through the gaps between the battlements like eyes, burrowing into the chest of a soldier of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The large and small shields in the city were raised in a hurry, and the few trebuchets in the city also began to counterattack, but compared to the Bashu army, the power was much weaker.

Han Baohu was also very helpless in this regard, Yangping Pass had not experienced a war for decades, and the armament had long been dilapidated, and the trebuchets and bed crossbows that could be used before were either mobilized to Hanzhong and Chang'an for centralized storage, or were transferred to Dingjun Mountain by Li Xun.

Those in Dingjun Mountain may still be of some use, but all the accidents in Hanzhong City have become Xiao Shilian's trophies, otherwise Han Baohu would not believe that Xiao Shilian could kill under Yangping Pass so quickly, and he could carry so many heavy equipment, these could only be those hoarded in Hanzhong City.

This made Han Baohu hate Niu Hong so much that at the same time, he also had to face this fact. Now most of these equipment in Yangping Pass were repaired by craftsmen after Han Baohu arrived, and if there were no trebuchets, I am afraid that the defenders of Yangping Pass would really only have to be beaten with their heads in their hands.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and there were countless screams behind the city walls.

Han Baohu hurriedly looked back, it turned out that a dilapidated trebuchet was set on fire by the Bashu trebuchet, and several large stones smashed on the trebuchet's arm one after another, and finally broke the arm, and the stones in the basket rolled out, but crushed and injured many soldiers.

But even so, there were still stones whistling over the city, rushing towards the Bashu soldiers who were already arrayed. These Northern Zhou defenders are all the descendants left by Wei Xiaokuan, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong.

"Knock knock!"

When it was found that there was no way to completely suppress the defenders' bows and crossbows and trebuchets, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, Xiao Shilian simply ordered an attack.

One banner after another was directly at the front, and all the battle lords and generals also stood at the head of the queue with swords and shields. With the beat of the drums, a shout exploded on the battlefield that had suddenly fallen silent.

"Kill!"

Uniform.

Yang Ping closed, and Han Baohu's pupils subconsciously contracted slightly.

He knew it was going to be a tough battle.

————————————————-

Outside the city of Chang'an.

"Your Highness, there is Lantian in front." One of the guards rode over and said loudly.

Yu Wenxian exhaled, the sky will be clear, he hurried and hurried, and finally arrived in Lantian. On the northwest side of Lantian there are one or two thousand soldiers and horses of Wei Xiaokuan, but these soldiers and horses are closely watched by Wei Chi's main force, and they must not make waves, so it can be said that when they arrive in Lantian, they will also be in a safe place.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded not far behind him, and Yu Wenxian subconsciously turned around and secretly shouted: "Not good." ”

And the guards also drew their swords one after another, and they had already noticed that the armor and banners of the people who came were different from them, as if they were friends and foes.

"It's Gao Xi." Yu Wenxian saw the leader at a glance, and he couldn't say that he was unfamiliar with this guy.
