Yanmen Pass.

Jiao Touch and Chen Deng attacked the city for more than ten days, but they were unsuccessful.

There were many casualties in the department, and they were no longer able to attack the city.

Outside the city.

Jiao Touch and Chen Deng led 5,000 elite horsemen, thousands of meters away, looking at the city tower. Chen Deng sighed: "The solidity of Yanmen Pass is really worthy of its name. Our tens of thousands of troops attacked for more than ten days, but we were unsuccessful, which is really unexpected. ”

"Ugh...."

Jiao Touch also sighed: "Originally, we could have captured Yanmen Pass, but unfortunately Yuan Shang sent reinforcements to Gao Gan in time, which made our previous battle fall short." ”

"It's our carelessness..."

Chen Deng was silent for a while, then hugged his fists towards Jiao and said, "General, Yanmen Pass is too strong, and no matter how many troops are invested, it will not help." I propose that the whole army be withdrawn and reorganized. We only need to contain the tens of thousands of troops at Yanmen Pass. It's better to wait for the lord and General Yan Liang to break the enemy. If they break the enemy, it is equivalent to us breaking the enemy. What does the general think? ”

"That's all there is to it now." Jiao Touch was originally trying his best to fight, and he also wanted to enter Taiyuan and capture Yuan Shang alive. It's a pity that now in the barracks, all the infantry soldiers are wounded, how can they fight?

Although I was unwilling, I couldn't do anything.

"General, it's too hot, let's go back to the camp, right?"

"Hmm."

In a burst of helpless lamentation, Jiao Touch and Chen Deng prepared to return to the camp.

They have given up attacking Yanmen Pass...

"Report!"

To their surprise, before they withdrew, a scout came to report: "Governor and military advisor, it is very strange in the city today, it seems that there are no soldiers, not even patrolling and standing guard. There are no more than 1,000 troops stationed on the city tower, and they are all in charge of logistics. We went to the government of the high cadre, but we did not see him. ”

"Really?"

"Yes."

looked at Chen Deng anxiously, and said happily: "Sir, could it be that the enemy has escaped?" ”

"The lord entered Taiyuan, and Gao Gan was anxious to go back to rescue and evacuated Yanmen Pass?" Chen Deng guessed uncertainly.

"It must be!"

Jiao Fu said excitedly: "I immediately gave an order to attack the city again." This time we must conquer Yanmen Pass! "I'm about to leave.

"General, slow." Chen Deng said: "It may also be a plan set up by senior cadres, we must be cautious." ”

"Sir's right. But we have been besieging the city for more than half a month, and we have suffered heavy losses. Now that I finally have the opportunity to Kecheng, how can I let it go? Even if it's a high-level plan, I'm going to give it a try. ”

Jiao Zhishi said unwillingly.

"Okay." Chen Deng nodded in agreement.

An hour later.

Jiao Touch gathered 20,000 iron cavalry and 5,000 siege echelons (most of them were wounded), and came to Yanmen Pass again.

"Siege!"

Burnt to the touch.

"Kill..." The siege echelon advanced rapidly.

The Iron Cavalry moved towards the flanks to cover it, ready to meet it at any time.

After the siege began, the soldiers stationed on the tower did not even prepare bows and arrows, and scattered in a panic. The 5,000 siege echelons smoothly ascended the tower and opened the gate below.

The drawbridge was lowered.

Jiao Touch said to Chen Deng: "Sir is leading the army here, and I will lead 10,000 elite horsemen into the city. If there is no danger, you come in again. ”

"Let's go together."

Chen Deng was really not at ease.

Many times, he can see things that he can't see with a focal touch, and he is more careful than a focal touch. If there is an ambush in the city, he can also remind Jiao in time to avoid losses for the army.

"Okay. Let's go together! ”

Jiao Touch and Chen Deng led 20,000 horsemen and slowly entered the city.

According to Chen Deng's suggestion, a small force was sent to the city to investigate.

When the investigation is clear, we will slowly march in.

Facts have proved that Gao Gan did not play tricks this time, and his army has indeed withdrawn from Yanmen Pass. Jiao Touch and Chen Deng didn't have to do anything, and easily captured this invincible city pass.

......................

Taiyuan County.

Jinyang.

As Chen Deng expected, there was a reason for Gao Gan's withdrawal from Yanmen Pass.

What's with?

Of course, it's too urgent!

Yuan Xi's troops had completed the layout and surrounded them from all directions, blocking thousands of miles of Taiyuan and the main roads in and out of Taihang Mountain. Even where it is impossible to cordon off, light cavalry patrols are dispatched.

In this way, Yuan Shang had to be in a hurry.

The troops stationed at Lishicheng and Yanmen Pass are useless no matter how well they defend, because Taiyuan is about to be lost.

So, he not only asked Gao Gan to come back to help, but also let the troops stationed in Lishicheng move closer to Jinyang, preparing to start a life-and-death battle with Yuan Xi in Taiyuan.

Outside Jinyang City.

After Gao Lanwan City laid out, he personally led 20,000 foot soldiers to meet Yuan Xi. The army marched to Jinyang City and built a strong camp outside the city.

"Yuan Shang has asked the garrisons from Shicheng and Yanmen Pass to assemble in Taiyuan. The lord can send cavalry and intercept them! In the account, Zhang Jaw suggested.

"Intercepting Yuan Shang's reinforcements is indeed a clever plan. But where do we have cavalry? Yuan Xi was a little speechless and said: "The pioneer battalion and the wolf cavalry army are all in the battle of bathing and water, and they are all injured. The behemoths also have a lot of influence. The cavalry under Gao Ran's command had to block the road and could not come to Jinyang. In this case, we have to wait and see... ”

"The enemy army from Shicheng and the enemy army at Yanmen Pass will eventually come to Taiyuan, and we will wait in Taiyuan, isn't it better?"

"Having said that, I am afraid that the enemy will not dare to come. What if they enter Taihang Mountain before they enter Taiyuan? Our troops are all in Taiyuan, and we can't stop it. Gao Ran said.

"The general has a point." Yuan Xi didn't think of this section.

Perhaps Yuan Shang held on to Jinyang and confronted himself, just to buy time for the garrisons from Shicheng and Yanmen Pass to withdraw into the mountains, which was not impossible.

In order to prevent this kind of accident from happening, Yuan Xi said: "I'll take the giant beasts on a trip. The battle in Jinyang will be handed over to you, and before I come back, you just need to contain Yuan Shang. After Yan Liang and Jiao Touch's army arrives, they will break the city together. ”

"No..."

Yuan Xi continued to instruct some details.

It's night.

He took four different places out of the camp, and rushed to the direction of Yanmen Pass with the Titan Python, the Ancient Monitor Lizard and all the mammoths. Prepare to intercept the high cadre. To be precise, it is to capture tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of Gao Gan.

As for the enemy troops in the direction of Shicheng, they are far away from Taiyuan, and it is difficult to enter the mountains. When the battle is over, it's not too late to come back and clean them up.

"Lord, Hedong County is urgent!" Yuan Xi just wanted to leave, but Zhang Jaw ran over from behind.

"Urgent? Was it Cao Ren who conquered Hedong County? Yuan Xi had a bad premonition.

He took the battle report, opened it and looked at it, and then laughed: "Okay! Yan Liang deserves to be my general, he has already defeated Cao Ren. Now I'm returning to Away from Rock City.... ”

Zhang Jaw also read the battle report.

Yan Liang wrote in the battle report that the battle with Cao Ren only lasted three days. Although he completely annihilated the enemy army, he ran away from Cao Ren. In addition, the defense of Hedong County has been handed over to Bai Huan. He led 40,000 iron horsemen, and rushed to Lishi under the starry night.
