Xuanyuan Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a large amount of fire oil.

No matter how many troops there are, it will be difficult to attack.

Yan Liang summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Also participating in the meeting was Hao Zhao.

He was originally responsible for guarding Xuchang, but after Cao Cao escaped from Xuchang, it was useless for him to defend it, so he was recruited to the front line by Yuan Xi and obeyed Yan Liang's call.

The meeting begins.

Hao Zhao first said: "Xuanyuan Pass is indeed difficult to overcome. But there is a fatal weakness, I don't know if the general knows? ”

"Achilles' heel? What is it? ”

Yan Liang asked anxiously.

"It seems that the Admiral does not know." Hao Zhao said: "When I was under Cao Cao, I was fortunate enough to come to Xuanyuan Pass, and I found that the mountain range linking Guancheng was not steep. And there are a lot of trees in the forest. If you are a good person, you can turn it over... ”

Yan Liang said: "Is this okay?" ”

"As far as I know, both sides of Xuanyuan Pass are full of stone walls. It is easy for our soldiers to climb up, but it is impossible to come down or even jump onto the tower. General Hao, you can't do this. Zhang Nandao.

"Who's to say no? I think it's easy. Hao Zhao walked in front of Yan Liang, picked up a brush from the table, and drew a few times on the paper: "General, please look, from the top of the mountain to the Xuanyuan Pass Tower, about ten zhang." It does look very tall, but you can actually climb down the hillside to the halfway point of the mountain. This place is only four zhang away from the city tower. If our people are dressed in night clothes, travel lightly and slowly lower them with ropes. As long as you don't make a move, you can make a surprise attack... ”

"I suggest going early in the morning, when the enemy is at its lax, and our chances of success will be greatly increased."

Yan Liang stared at Hao Zhao's few strokes and said, "Your plan only needs a few hundred people, and it doesn't matter much whether it succeeds or not." General Hao Zhao, you let it go. If the sneak attack is successful, I will lead a large army as a response and take advantage of the situation to break through the city. ”

"Okay."

Hao Zhao bowed his hand.

"General Hao has this method, why didn't he say it earlier, it caused us to attack the city for many days, and there were countless casualties." Former Montenegrin Army general Lei Gongdao.

"I just remembered it, don't blame the general." Hao Zhao smiled.

"Hmph."

Lei Gong was very dissatisfied with Hao Zhao. Let's not mention that Yuan Xi reused newcomers and ignored them old men, in the battles of the past few days, all his soldiers died. Hao Zhao's elite is useless.

"General Lei, why are you angry?" Yan Liang sensed Lei Gong's dissatisfaction.

"Back to the general, the last general is not angry."

"It's good if not, the big war is coming, we must unite sincerely to make contributions..." Speaking of this, Yan Liang remembered that Lei Gong's troops had indeed suffered heavy casualties in recent days.

So Yan Liang said: "Your unit has suffered heavy casualties, and in the next battle, let the other battalions go." Your ministry serves as a reserve. ”

"Don't general, I stormed Xuanyuan Pass before, and the last generals have all taken it down, how can I retreat now. Let's let the last general go. The end will be guaranteed! "Lei is fair.

"Would you like to... Be a pioneer again? ”

"Yes."

Yan Liang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you an additional 5,000 troops, plus your headquarters soldiers and horses, about 10,000 people." When Hao Zhao's sneak attack is successful, you will immediately attack the city and fight the enemy forces in the pass with her. ”

"Yes!"

Lei Gong responded.

.......

Night.

Hao Zhao carefully selected five hundred soldiers.

These soldiers are all about the same size, with outstanding swordsmanship, and they are very elite.

Under the leadership of Hao Zhao, from the side of Xuanyuan Pass, climb to the mountain.

After that, tie the rope to a firm tree and slowly lower it.

The soldiers followed the rope and easily landed on the tower.

"Kill..." Even Hao Zhao himself didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. Five hundred elite soldiers, all of them were sent to the top of the city tower unconsciously.

There were not many enemies in the city, and most of them were sleeping.

Hao Zhao rushed and took control of the situation in an instant.

"Siege!"

Lei Gong outside the city also gave an order.

Five thousand soldiers carried the ladder and approached the city pass.

There were also 5,000 men in the rear to oversee the battle.

Cooperate with Hao Zhaoli and prepare to steal the city.

Puff puff...

Hao Zhao was also a brave general, and led his soldiers to rush to the bottom of the city tower, trying to open the city gate.

Only by opening the city gate can Lei Gong's troops rush in.

However.

Soon after the start of the battle.

Hao Zhao realized that more and more enemy soldiers came out of the city and joined the battle. And he didn't bring many soldiers. If he drags on like this, he will definitely not be able to complete the task.

"Brothers, don't go to the city, stay here with me!" Hao Zhao suddenly gave an order.

He renounced the city and opened the gates.

Instead, he wanted to hold the edge of the city tower, so that Lei Gong's troops could smoothly ascend the city tower. Maybe this will break the city faster.

"Kill..." The soldiers all gathered around and stood beside Hao Zhao.

"Hold here! As long as we hold here, we will have reinforcements, and after a long time, the enemy army will be defeated! Hao Zhao shouted.

A few days ago, very few soldiers were able to climb over the walls.

And now five hundred people are standing on the tower, as long as the soldiers behind can keep up, the possibility of breaking the city is very high. The soldiers were all like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were extremely excited.

All the enemy soldiers who ran over were hanged.

Hao Zhao was like a nail, nailed to the side of the city wall.

"Hahaha... General Hao, I'm coming.... "Lei Gong actually led the army to attack the city and was the first to climb the tower.

"Why are you here in person?"

"What? You can attack the city, but I can't? Lei Gong was already smiling from ear to ear, and shouted: "General Hao, what are you still doing here, kill the enemy quickly." ”

"That's your business, I'm only responsible for guarding this place." Hao Zhao was not affected by Lei Gong. He held one, as long as he held the edge of the city wall, so that the soldiers outside the city could continue to go up to the city, Xuanyuan Pass would definitely be conquered. If you rush to kill the enemy and make the enemy occupy the edge of the city wall, then Lei Gong's troops will not be able to help, even if they kill fiercely now, they are doomed to failure.

"Hahaha... I don't care about you anymore. Lei Gong was too lazy to talk nonsense with Hao Zhao, he took his soldiers and rushed to the aisle of the city tower to start a bloody battle with Cao's army. And send men to rush into the city, and if you have the chance, you must open the city gate first.

Outside the city.

Yan Liang, Zhang Nan and other generals have arrived.

Nearly 100,000 troops were waiting solemnly.

"It seems that Hao Zhao and they have succeeded..." Yan conscience rejoiced. If Xuanyuan Pass can be captured, Hao Zhao should be the first to take the lead. He won't grab this credit, and only Hao Zhao can afford it.

Titicaca...

The gates of Xuanyuan Pass were opened.

Yan Liang didn't say a word and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!" ”

"Kill..." All the soldiers followed behind Yan Liang and rushed into the Xuanyuan Pass.

Since then, the Xuanyuan Pass has been broken.

The Cao army in the city was only more than 7,000, and in terms of field combat ability, it was not as good as the one or two thousand cavalry under Yan Liang's command, and it was easily solved.
