In fact, the soldiers and horses have been prepared for a long time, where do you need time to prepare! The reason why Hu Tian said this was just to make Wei Qi feel that things were not easy to do. Moreover, he had to send additional men to inform Sun Tie in the east and Zhou Tong in the west. In this way, the two sides will know that they are already acting here. Fortunately, according to the previous plan, all three parties can act independently, as long as the notice arrives.

After all, the three places are too far apart to be able to act at the same time. If you really have to wait until the three soldiers and horses act together, you will definitely miss the big thing.

Until the next morning, Hu Tiancai gathered 2,000 soldiers and horses and was ready to act.

"General Hu, with only these two thousand soldiers and horses, is it too little. Zhang Ju's people add up, there are tens of thousands of people! The general should mobilize a little more troops, so that he will be more sure! Hearing that he was about to set off, he rushed over to the guards, and after seeing this team of soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"General Wei can rest assured, this will definitely help you succeed! Our soldiers and horses will rush to Baitu County first, and then take the Imjin Pass from there to welcome General Zhou's soldiers and horses to the north, so that Zhang Ju's soldiers and horses can be completely blocked in Xiping County! Regarding his worries, Hu Tian has his own plans.

Hearing this, Wei Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least, as far as he knew, the combined number of soldiers and horses in these two places would not be less than six thousand. In terms of the past record of the Huashan Army, for Zhang Ju's more than 10,000 people, at least there can be a draw!

In fact, the result of Zhou Tong and Hu Tian's discussion was to focus on defending Jincheng Pass and Jincheng County, as well as Qingshi Pass! Therefore, of the 4,000 men under Hu Tian's command, only 2,000 people were mobilized.

As for Zhou Tong's side, because of the relatively remote geographical location of Lao Crow Castle, he was going to directly take out 5,000 of the 6,000 soldiers and horses. In this way, the total number of soldiers and horses on the two routes actually reached 7,000!

Although the number of people is small, if you take action, it will be much faster. Hu Tian and Wei Qi took 2,000 people out of Jincheng Pass and went west along the river, and after passing the Qingshi Pass, they passed the Jinyu Ferry.

In this case, it is only a hundred miles away from Imjin Pass. This road has been passed by in the past, so it is not too difficult to walk. The point is that when Hu Tian was acting, he had to keep it secret throughout the whole process, just so that the people on the side of Imjin Pass would not discover the whereabouts of the others first.

Old Crow Castle, Zhou Tong has already received Hu Tian's letter! So, it's already ready to act!

"General, it's time to act!" The general came to his side and reported to Zhou Tong.

"Okay, order all the troops to come forward and line up outside the Imjin Pass to attract all the attention of the enemy!" Hearing this, Zhou Tong nodded and commanded.

The soldiers are very fast, and if they want to take the Imjin Pass as soon as possible, the cooperation between him and Hu Tian must be tacit. With his heavy troops pressing, the enemy troops in the pass will inevitably be attracted to the south. At this time, Hu Tian's soldiers and horses from the east could take advantage of the night to quietly go around to the north of Guancheng.

The soldiers and horses of the Huashan army suddenly advanced under the pass, which made the Liangzhou soldiers and horses guarding the pass extremely nervous. They didn't know what Zhou Tong's plan was, but it seemed that he was preparing to attack the city.

"General, the Huashan Army suddenly dispatched, these 5,000 soldiers and horses are pressing the border, and there are only 2,000 men and horses in our closed city, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it for a long time. Why don't you report to the envoy as soon as possible and ask for reinforcements! At the head of the city, all the Liangzhou generals had solemn faces, and one of them suggested.

"Easier said than done! Now that they have all been killed in the city, how can they come to the rescue of the envoy again! However, Huashan Army and we are also friendly, why did they suddenly kill us? Come on, send someone over and ask them, see what they really want to do? The general guarding the pass couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and then thought about it for a while, and decided to figure out the situation.

However, the people he sent out never came back after entering the Huashan Army's military formation. And Hua Shanjun's side didn't even reply to him. The Huashan army was arrayed under the city, not shouting or attacking the city, and it seemed very quiet.

But the more this happens, the more bottomless these people in the city become, some people begin to panic, some people begin to be anxious, and some people are about to be unable to bear it and want to kill it.

"It's almost time, isn't it?" Zhou Tong stood in the middle of the military formation, looked at the dangerous wall in front of him from a distance, and casually asked the general beside him.

"Come on, in half an hour, and it will be completely dark. If it was according to the previous plan, General Hu's men and horses should have arrived nearby! The general looked at it for a moment and nodded.

"Very good, pass the order down, attack the city!" Hearing this, Zhou Tong bowed slightly, and then gave the order to attack!

"Knock-knock-knock......!" The sound of war drums sounded, and the Huashan army array moved, and a group of generals killed the city under the urging of the drums.

"Hurry up, hurry up and fight back, keep them all out of the city, don't let them climb up!" After a stalemate for most of the day, the Huashan army finally launched an attack at this time, which relieved some people in the city. Soon, the defenders also began to resist.

Siege is not an easy task, and the frontal is just to attract the attention of the enemy. Therefore, although the siege of soldiers and horses under Zhou Tong seemed to be huge, they did not invest too many soldiers and horses.

As soon as the army moved, it was covered by several waves of arrows, which caused huge psychological pressure on the defenders of the city. Then, the first to rush upwards and start a real siege battle. It didn't take long for the entire southern side of Imjin Pass to be in a piece.

Imjin Pass is called this because this place is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River is just north of the gate! At the same time, it is also a ferry, from which you can cross the Yellow River and go all the way north to Xining.

About ten miles west of Imjin Pass, there is actually a stone pass. The pass is also located on the south bank of the Yellow River, but it is more dangerous than Imjin Pass, because it is surrounded by cliffs to the south and the Yellow River to the north. This road leads from the land of Qinlong to the area of Qinghai Lake.

At the beginning, this pass was to prevent the Hu people from the west from advancing eastward, but after the establishment of the Imjin Pass, the role of this Jishi Pass has decreased a lot. At least, there aren't a few people stationed there now.

Otherwise, we can support the defenders of Imjin Pass.

When the war started in the south, Hu Tian did rush to the north of Imjin Pass, and at this time, he was also waiting for the opportunity. When he heard the shouts of killing from the south, and saw the flames in the sky, he knew the time had come.

However, if he wants to kill at Imjin Pass, he must first cross the Yellow River. Fortunately, this place was originally a ferry crossing, and at the same time, the enemy had nothing to guard against! Therefore, after he got the ferry on the north bank, he took advantage of the night to quietly lead some people towards the north city to kill.

Since the battle in the south was tense, although there were more than 300 troops in the north at this time, everyone's attention was basically attracted to the south. Under the cover of the sound of night and flowing water, as well as the sound of fighting in the south, it was not found on the river below the city at all, and at this time there were ferries carrying soldiers from the Huashan Army.

"Hurry up, hurry up and go to the city, as long as our side succeeds, this Imjin Pass will be taken directly!" After crossing the river without danger along the way, Hu Tian personally led a part of the warriors to climb up to the top of the city.

Hu Tian erected the few simple ladders they had and began to climb up. I don't know if I used up all my good luck before, but when they climbed halfway, the guards patrolling the city, one of the guys looked out so badly.

"Enemy .......!" That guy had a torch in his hand, and he just saw Hu Tian and the others who were climbing up below, and they were about to scream.

"Whew!" With a bang, the archers who were planning at the bottom immediately flew out with an arrow when they saw the opportunity, hitting this guy in the chest. The guy uttered only one word, and then fell headlong off the wall.

Although it was said to solve a temporary emergency, in this way, it only alarmed the defenders on the city wall even more.

"It's not good, there is a sneak attack from the enemy, go and report to the general!" The defenders at the head of the city were in disarray, shouting, and some began to throw arrows or throwing things like rolling logs and stones at the bottom of the city.

Seeing this, Hu Tian knew that there was no way to hide his whereabouts anymore, so he simply stopped covering it up, looked back at the people behind him~ and shouted: "Speed up and go to the city with General Ben!" ”

With that, he quickened himself, and with only a few efforts, he was already standing at the head of the city. When the guards saw this, they immediately surrounded him.

On the southern side of the city, although the battle has been going on, it is not particularly fierce after all. After fighting here for nearly an hour, Zhou Tong finally heard the movement from the north. In particular, the defenders of the southern city became a little confused.

"Okay, it must be Hu Tian who killed it! Tell me to go down and storm the city walls, and I must take this level as soon as possible! Zhou Tong immediately made a decision and ordered.

This is a real siege, and there were some soft ~ soft attacks before, but now it suddenly became like a storm. With the help of a large number of siege equipment, the soldiers of the Huashan Army rushed towards the city like a tide.

In particular, the soldiers who were responsible for breaking the city gate, with shields and led by the two deputy generals, rushed all the way to the city gate, and then carried the crashing wood and began to violently hit the city gate!
