Feng Yi led the soldiers and horses of the Ji family out of the customs to be defeated on all fronts, and fled by the way, and their morale completely fell to the bottom.

The unparalleled defense of the treasure armor and the extremely strong penetration of the chain bow and crossbow brought a huge shadow to the hearts of the Ji family masters.

Huo Rongsheng led his subordinate army to pursue the victory, chasing more than ten miles all the way, killing countless enemies, making the Ji family masters completely frightened and unable to form an army.

When Huo Rongsheng led the troops back, in addition to capturing some Ji family elders, they did not capture other prisoners, but directly executed them.

In Huo Rongsheng's words, he didn't want ordinary prisoners of the Ji family, and all the generals and soldiers of the Ji family would not accept their surrender, and they would all be killed.

Huo Rongsheng asked people to tie those Ji family elders to the chariot, and ordered the soldiers to constantly whip them with leather whips, and humiliate and torture them by all means.

After he pursued the Ji family's army, he led the remaining soldiers and horses to Tianshui Pass again, and continued to call the pass.

That day, Ji Shan, the commander of Shuiguan, saw that his Ji family had been defeated, the clan elder had also been arrested, and Feng Yi and others had fled in all directions without a trace, and he was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and his heart was pounding.

However, he knew that he could not surrender, and once he surrendered, Huo Rongsheng would definitely kill himself.

"Resist it for me, hold it all on." In order to survive, he continued to resist stubbornly, urging the remaining 10,000 or 20,000 defenders to make comprehensive defensive preparations to prevent Huo Rongsheng's army from attacking the city.

He thought that as long as he held this pass for a while, then the Ji family would definitely send more troops to help him. At the same time, he has strong confidence in the defense of Tianshui Pass. It is expected that Huo Rongsheng will not be able to break through the pass within a day or two.

After Huo Rongsheng saw this situation, he did not hesitate, and ordered the whole army to attack the pass, besieging the city from all directions, looking for a breakthrough.

Under his orders, the remaining 150,000 soldiers and horses rushed towards the pass like a tide.

These people shoot arrows, build ladders, and lift the pillars, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

"Listen to all those who stay on the tower, if you open the gates of the city quickly and surrender. I can spare your life, as long as you honestly reclaim the wasteland for the people for ten years. If you have to resist stubbornly, after I break the barrier, I will definitely destroy your nine clans. I, Huo Rongsheng, do what I say, you have to think carefully. Do you want to fight me or not?

I tell you plainly, I only kill the people of the Ji family. As long as you are not from the Ji family, I will not deliberately embarrass you. What future can you have if you follow the Ji family?

The king's people are longing for him, and he is a saint in the world. This time, Lord Wang wants to unify the entire territory of Gansu, and no one can stop this. If you don't want to see your wife, son, and daughter retaliated against afterwards, then quickly kill Ji Shan, the commander of the defending city, and open the city gate for me to lead the army into the pass. ”

"This...."

After hearing Huo Rongsheng's words, the soldiers guarding the city who stayed in Tianshui Pass all changed their faces and were very embarrassed.

Some of these soldiers are from the Ji family, but there are also many who are not.

When Huo Rongsheng led the army to rush through the pass, these soldiers who were not from the Ji family really wanted to open the city gate and surrender. But because of the strength of the Ji family, they didn't dare to move.

Now that they saw that the soldiers and horses of the Ji family had just been defeated, they immediately had the idea of surrendering in their hearts, and they didn't want to fight against Wang Mang.

Wang Mang's prestige has been deeply imprinted in their hearts, and they always feel that it is definitely not a good thing to work against Wang Mang.

When Ji Shan saw that his soldiers and horses were in a commotion, his face changed, and he shouted: "Listen to me, if anyone dares to act rashly, if anyone wants to surrender, I will kill him." Now although Huo Rongsheng has won a game, he still can't break through the barrier. My Ji family will continue to send troops to our aid soon. As long as my Ji family doesn't fall, we will never be fine. ”

When the guards heard the threat, their hearts trembled, and they were in chaos like hemp.

They looked left at Huo Rongsheng's soldiers and horses who were constantly rushing through the city, and on the right at the commander of Ji Shan, their faces were uncertain.

They know that this is the most critical moment, the moment to make a big choice.

They all expected that if Huo Rongsheng really broke through the pass, then he would definitely die, and his family would definitely die, Huo Rongsheng would not give himself another chance, he would definitely do what he said and slaughter his nine clans.

However, for the Ji family, they are also very afraid. I'm afraid that after I surrender, Ji Shan will kill myself.

Huo Rongsheng saw that many soldiers on the city tower were hesitating, and he didn't persuade anything. Instead, he responded to these people and warned them with the most direct means.

He is giving orders for the whole army to attack the pass at all costs. At the same time, the three armies were ordered that after breaking through the pass, they must first slaughter the nine clans of these soldiers who refused to surrender, and those who violated the order would not be spared.

Military orders are like mountains that cannot be changed, and Huo Rongsheng passed such a cold military order in front of the two armies, which means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, and there is no room for change. Once the city is breached, he will definitely go on a killing spree.

After thinking about it for a long time, many guards still felt that it was very inappropriate to confront Wang Mang and had to surrender, thinking that it was impossible for the Ji family to defeat Wang Mang.

They made up their minds, and they all made a fuss, put down their weapons, and stopped shooting the city soldiers.

Ji Shan was furious, rushed to these people with a treasure sword, and slashed with a knife.

For him, this threshold is his life. If you lose it, you will die. He didn't dare to let the pass be lost, and he couldn't surrender.

"Whoever surrenders will be killed." Ji Shan shouted.

"Bastard..."

A city guard who was not from the Ji family scolded angrily: "Lord Huo Rongsheng under the city wants to kill the people of your Ji family, not us, why are you pulling us into the water?" Besides, most of the people in the city are against you guarding the pass, and they all say that they will open the city gate and let Lord Huo Rongsheng enter the pass.

For your own selfishness, your Ji family dragged the people of the whole city into the water, and I will fight with you. Everyone, if you don't want to die, if you don't want to be wiped out by Lord Huo afterwards, please join me in rebelling against Jishan, open the city gate to welcome Lord Huo into the city, and fulfill the wishes of the people in the city. This Ji family is risking our lives to protect their own wealth, how can we let them get their wish?

Everyone, look at Nading Xiguan, it is completely a prosperous scene. And because we are controlled by the Ji family's traitors, the city is full of complaints, and the people are not happy. Lord Wang wants to unify Gansu, this is Lord Wang giving us an opportunity to get rid of the control of the Ji family. Everyone, rush together, destroy Jishan, and welcome Lord Huo into the city. ”

As soon as this person came out and shouted, many other people with strong blood also stood up.

It didn't take long for more and more people to come forward, and the number had already exceeded 10,000.

They quickly gathered together, confronted the soldiers and horses of the Ji family, and completely gave up the task of guarding the pass.

Suddenly, the Tianshui Pass Tower was in chaos, and the matter of defending the pass was instantly much lax.

Seeing this, Huo Rongsheng immediately stepped up his efforts to take advantage of the situation to tackle key problems.

Ji Shan was furious, and his eyes were red.

"You damn bastards." Ji Shan saw that if he couldn't go on like this, he would definitely not be able to stop Huo Rongsheng from rushing to the pass. So he hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses of the Ji family under his command to evacuate and flee as soon as possible, giving up defense.

Seeing this, the rest of the crowd intercepted them as soon as possible.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Himeyama, they are going to run. Let's stop them quickly, and let him deal with these people when Lord Huo enters the city. ”

"Open the gates quickly, and stop being fearless. Himesan tried to abandon us and escape. One shouted.

When the soldiers who closed the gate heard this, they immediately opened the gate, put down their weapons and knelt aside to surrender.

Huo Rongsheng laughed and led the army under his command to step into the pass.
