On February 14, the 21st year of Hongde, on the side of Qinyang County in Hedong County, the Northern Second Army had already set up the siege equipment needed to attack Tianmen Pass. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After consulting the army lord, that is, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Pang Huan, the deputy general of the Northern Second Army, led 20,000 troops and set out to attack Tianmen Pass.

As the prince of the previous generation, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, also had ten Zongwei assistants.

Of course, this is only once, because of the dispute for more than 20 years, in that tragic civil strife in Daliang, the "Shunshui Army" and the "Shunshui Army" fought in the same room, which not only made the Wei State weak for more than ten years, so that when it was learned that the Chu State raised troops to fight five years ago, it was like a great enemy, and it also made Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, forever lose five loyal Zongwei who can be called humerus arms.

Even his sect guard chief "Meng Shuo" was killed by the former Wei Tianzi Zongwei "Sima An", who is now the general of the Dangshan Army, so that when Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was exiled, only Meng Shuo's brother Meng Luo was left by his side, as well as Pang Huan, Yang Yu, Chen Ji, and Zhao Qi, a total of five Zongwei.

Let's not mention the other four Zong Wei, let's talk about Pang Huan first.

Pang Huan was not from a civilian background, this person was born in the "Yuguan Pang Clan", and his ancestors were said to be the generals of the Liang State stationed in "Yuguan".

Speaking of Yuguan, in fact, this pass was originally used by Liang to resist the attack of Wei, but later after Liang was defeated and Wei annexed Liang, Yuguan became dispensable, and over time, it became a county town from a garrison pass.

And the ancestors of the Pang family, after being relieved of military power, also lived in Yuguan, and after a few years, developed into a wang clan.

I remember that more than 100 years ago, Yuguan Pang was still very famous, it is said that the first generation of Wei Wujun at that time, had successively absorbed many Yuguan Pang Zi's generals to join the army, making Yuguan Pang Zi famous in the local area.

However, after the "Wei Han Shangdang Campaign", the original Wei Wu army was completely annihilated, and the Yuguan Pang clan inevitably began to wither.

In fact, not only the "Yuguan Pang Clan", there are many clans in the Wei State that are all Jiangmen military households, but because of three things, these Jiangmen military household clans in Wei have collapsed.

One of them is the "Wei Han Shangdang Campaign", when the first Wei Wu army was wiped out, and the children of the generals and soldiers of the whole Wei State can be said to have died a generation.

After all, the fame of Wei Wujun at that time was too loud, but all the children of military families who had the intention of serving the country and serving the army rushed to join Wei Wujun, who would have thought that the unstoppable Wei Wujun would actually sink in front of the Korean cavalry?

And the second thing is that the "Shunshui Army" and the "Yushui Army" are in the same room.

Zhao Yuanzuo, who was still known as King Jing back then, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, just like Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su today, have a very high status in the minds of the Wei people, so that when these two princes formed an army, the children of the generals and soldiers from all over the country went to defect.

As a result, because of the battle for succession, the two Wei armies of "Shunshui" and "Yushui" fought in the same room, and in the end, they almost died together, so that the children of the generals in Wei suffered heavy casualties.

As for the last case, that is the "Xiao Rebellion" incident, the former Nanyan general Xiao Boyuan secretly communicated with South Korea and attempted to rebel, which also involved many generals.

It can be said that Shunshui and Yushui were in the same room, coupled with the Xiao family's rebellion, and the Jiangmen military households in the Wei State died a generation, so that when facing the powerful enemy Chu State, which was vast and dense, they trembled.

Of course, the reason why Pang Huan became Zongwei has nothing to do with the three things mentioned above, his father and brother died on the battlefield of Hedong County, when Wei lost Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass, and sent troops to attack Hedong County of Wei, therefore, Wei sent troops and horses from all over the country to Hedong County to block the Korean army.

Estimated days, Pang Huan's father and brother died on the battlefield, and Sima An's father died in Tianmen Pass, which was actually the same battle.

This is also the reason why during the Zongwei period, the relationship between Pang Huan and Sima An was still very good.

Of course, now the relationship between the two has already fallen to the freezing point, after all, Sima An killed Meng Shuo at the beginning, and Pang Huan and other Zong Wei around Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, also killed the rest of the Zong Wei who Sima An regarded as brothers, even if the two sides were called enemies.

I remember that after Meng Shuo, the chief of the Zongwei of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was killed by Sima An, Zongwei Yang Yu took over the helm of the Zongwei, but in terms of commanding soldiers and horses, Yang Yu was inferior to Pang Huan, and it was for this reason that Pang Huan would serve as the deputy general of the Northern Second Army.

may be in the eyes of many people, Pang Huan's nationality is unknown, but in fact, this person is quite remarkable, in the civil war of "Shunshui Army vs. Yu Water Army", Pang Huan and Li Cheng, Shaohu, and Sima An competed respectively, and they couldn't help each other, looking at the achievements and status of the latter three now, you can roughly estimate Pang Huan's ability - a proper warrior.

But why would a fierce general like Pang Huan suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of the Heavenly Gate Guard?

In fact, it was not a fiasco, it was just that when Pang Huan was attacking Tianmen Pass, he was bypassed by the cavalry led by the violent kite from the mountain trail and copied the back road.

On flat ground, the cavalry has a natural advantage in attacking the infantry, and it is nothing - there are many cavalry under the command of the tyrant kite, and the northern two armies led by Pang Huan are all infantry, so the former wins and the latter loses, which does not directly reflect the ability of the tyrant and Pang Huan, after all, the strength of the two armies is not equal, and there is no comparison.

At least, Pang Huan doesn't think that his defeat at the hands of Han General Storm Kite last year is due to his inferior skills.

Of course, there is no point in barking like a lost dog, so no matter what, Pang Huan hopes that the attack on Tianmen Pass after the beginning of spring will be rewarded, and it is best to overcome this pass and redeem the defeat of last year.

However, just as he was leading 20,000 Northern Second Army to Tianmen Pass, the scouts who were probing the news in front of him hurriedly sent back the news that countless Korean cavalry were coming towards this place in front.

At that time, even a general like Pang Huan was bluffed after hearing the news, and without saying a word, he ordered his sergeants to return the same way and garrison in the forest they had just passed.

Although the forests after winter are bare and visible from the outside, they can somewhat restrain the Korean cavalry.

No, after Pang Huan and his 20,000 troops were stationed in the forest, the "countless Korean cavalry" in the mouth of the cavalry was really presented in front of Pang Huan.

Ten thousand horsemen rushing forward and the ground shaking the mountains are not enough to describe this South Korean cavalry, because the number of this South Korean cavalry is far more than 10,000, it is like a mountain torrent catharsis, and the traces of the Korean cavalry are unstoppable everywhere you look.

"At least thirty or forty thousand cavalry, right? …… Han Jun, what kind of madness is this?'

Standing next to a tree, Pang Huan immediately issued an order: "Pass the order down and prepare for battle!" ”

After giving the order, he squinted at the Korean cavalry standing in the distance outside the forest.

He had a faint guess that the Han army at Tianmen Pass was at least cavalry, and this time it might be a dumping attack.

But why?

"Are you trying to beat me Qinyang? No, the Korean army doesn't have the advantage in the current battle situation in Hedong County......

Although he was a little skeptical, in fact, Pang Huan did not believe his own speculation.

Although there are only 50,000 people in his Northern Second Army, behind the Northern Second Army is still the 50,000 Wei Wu Army of the Great General Shaohu - this second-generation Wei Wu Army that inherited the name of "Great Wei Wu Army", but so far it has not directly participated in the war, but is only responsible for assisting in defense and supporting all Wei armies.

In this case, it is meaningless for the Han army at Tianmen Pass to take the initiative to attack Qinyang, and it will only attract the Wei Wu army of the general Shaohu, increasing the burden and pressure on Tianmen Pass.

What's more, even if you intend to attack Qinyang, there is no need to send tens of thousands of cavalry to sweep the formation, right?

This is the first battle after the beginning of spring, so it won't be a life-and-death fight right away, right?

『……』

Pang Huan felt that this matter was a little strange.

And what made him feel even more strange was that those Korean cavalry did not attack after noticing them in the forest, but devoted themselves to destroying those catapults and well carts - these people's attempts to destroy these siege equipment were very strange, and they actually used the weapons in their hands to cut and split, which felt like it was not for the purpose of destroying these siege equipment, but more like an act of slashing and relieving boredom with two knives at will.

"What the hell are these people trying to do?"

Pang Huan crossed his arms and watched the Korean cavalry in the distance.

Although the other party did not reveal the intention of preparing to attack, Pang Huan still did not dare to be careless, let alone directly lead his sergeants to evacuate, he suspected that this was a trick of those Korean cavalry, the purpose was to keep him away from this forest.

But thinking about it carefully, Pang Huan felt that this didn't make sense.

In desperation, he had no choice but to spend time here with this group of Korean cavalry, and the two armies were about a mile or two apart from each other.

In this way, from morning to afternoon, Pang Huanjun did not dare to stay away from this forest at all, and the Korean cavalry did not seem to have any intention of leaving.

In this regard, Pang Huan hated it so much, he couldn't understand what these Korean cavalry were doing on the other side, whether they would fight or not, whether they would retreat or not, the two sides were just doing it here, staring at each other.

I don't know how long later, one of the soldiers shouted in surprise: "Look at the direction of Tianmen Pass." ”

Hearing this, Pang Huan turned his head to look at Tianmen Pass, and faintly saw green smoke curling over the area of Tianmen Pass.

Pang Huan was stunned in his heart: Tianmen Pass was attacked? Who is attacking Tianmen Pass? Could it be Zhao Run's Su Wang Army?

But when he turned his head and looked at the Korean cavalry outside the forest, he saw that they did not move, and Pang Huan felt that something was wrong.

If Tianmen Pass was really attacked, how could these Korean cavalry not quickly come to the rescue?

So, he narrowed his eyes and concentrated on observing the green smoke in the sky above Taihang Mountain, and he found that the direction in which the curling green smoke rose did not seem to be in the direction of Tianmen Pass, but as if it was in the direction of Gaodu.

"If Gaodu is attacked, these Han cavalry will also rush back to help...... And at the moment, these people did not move, and there was not even the slightest hint of panic, in other words, most of the green smoke that was suspected of being fire smoke was made by Han Jun himself...... Gaodu? Fire smoke? Huh?'

Touching his chin, a few strange expressions appeared on Pang Huan's face.

『…… The Han army at Tianmen Pass doesn't want to burn down the granary in Gaodu and then evacuate from Shannan, right?"
