"Lord Captain, there are ten people in charge of patrolling the Qin soldiers, patrolling the entire Great Wall back and forth. Reading at zero o'clock"

Not long after Huan Zhen went up to the base of the wall, the two people who came up before reported to him about the closing situation.

Hearing this, Huan Zhen secretly calculated, judging from the current situation, it is easy to continue to climb upward.

The difficulty now is how to kill ten patrol soldiers without a trace.

And to do this, it must be killed with one blow, and it must not arouse the alarm of others.

Just as he was thinking hard about what to do, he suddenly felt a pang in his chest.

He habitually used his hands to imitate, and he actually touched a hard hand crossbow, which immediately made his eyes light up.

As a sharp weapon in melee combat, the crossbow has always been loved by Hexi soldiers, and almost everyone has one.

And some of the elites in the army even played flowers, and they could hit 100 shots within 20 steps.

Next, Huan Zhen immediately found ten soldiers who were good at using crossbows and commanded in a low voice.

"Wait a minute, each of you is responsible for one enemy in order, aim at the throat and shoot at the vital point, and don't make a sound."

"No."

After receiving the order, the ten people quickly climbed the Great Wall and entered the corresponding ambush position.

They hid themselves in the shadows, holding only the crossbow in their hands, patiently waiting for the patrol to come.

After half a pillar of incense, ten patrol soldiers arrived as promised, and they lined up in a neat queue and walked slowly along the gallop road.

As everyone knows, in the darkness, there are ten crossbows that are coldly aimed at the vital places around them.

The Hou Qin people got closer and closer, and when they saw that they were about to find everyone, they only heard the head of the team open his mouth slightly: "Shoot!" ”

Hearing only a few muffled bangs, ten crossbow arrows took advantage of the cover of night and shot lightning towards the throats of the ten Qin soldiers.

Poof! Poof! Ten Qin soldiers covered their throats almost at the same time, and without even screaming, they fell to the ground softly.

Huan Zhen had been secretly observing, and only when he saw that the Qin soldiers' patrol posts had been successfully resolved, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, with a low shout, hundreds of soldiers who had been waiting for the battle climbed towards the city wall.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the five hundred Hexi soldiers arrived on the city wall.

Then, under the leadership of ten pretending Qin soldiers, everyone held horizontal knives and round shields, and ran to Xiao Pass with murderous spirit......

……

When Huan Zhenbu tried to raid Xiaoguan, the main force of the Hexi Army was still ten miles away.

The goal of the Hexi Army in this battle was very clear, that is, to capture Xiaoguan and make a breakthrough for the next attack on Anding County.

Wang Zhenwei rode his horse and watched the endless night in the distance.

The Great Wall stretches across the majestic mountains in the distance, and one of the gaps between the mountains is the famous Xiao Pass.

At this time, Xue Tongce immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Is Zuo Sima worried about Daoquan?" ”

Wang Zhenwei shook his head lightly and said: "The Dao body has gone through a hundred battles, and it is not a problem to take Xiao Guandang, I am a little worried about the situation in Guanzhong." ”

"Guanzhong? Hou Qin is not a fish on the chopping board, what else is there to worry about? Xue Tong asked puzzled.

Wang Zhen smiled evilly and explained, "It is precisely because Hou Qin is desperate that he is more likely to make extreme choices. ”

"In case Hou Qin jumps off the wall in a hurry, opens the martial arts, and surrenders to the imperial court, what do you say we should do?"

"Therefore, the key to this battle is to grasp the strength of it, not to overstimulate Hou Qin, but also to successfully complete the pre-war goal."

Just then, the two saw a scout hurrying up.

Wang Zhenwei turned his head and glanced at Xue Tong and said, "It seems that there is news from Xiao Guan." ”

As Wang Zhenwei expected, the person who came really brought the latest news about Xiao Guan.

"Report! Captain Huan has successfully infiltrated Xiao Pass, and he has been specially ordered to come down to inform Zuo Sima and ask the adults to send troops to respond as soon as possible. ”

Wang Zhenwei nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Captain Xue, it's up to you next." ”

"You immediately lead three thousand sword and shield soldiers to support Huan Zhen, and you must take Xiao Pass as soon as possible."

"Subordinates obey." Xue Tong took the order and left.

During the pre-war preparations, the Military Division took into account the mountainous area around Xiaoguan, so it deployed a large number of lightly armed infantry, which was very good at mountain warfare.

Xue Tong led three thousand sword and shield soldiers along the ancient road of the Wating Gorge Valley and rushed to Xiao Pass in front.

This ancient road was built in the pre-Qin period, and the Qin Emperor and Han Wudu used to patrol along this road to the north.

It is a pity that after the Qin and Han dynasties, the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty weakened, if it were not for the rise of Hexi, the Central Plains army had not penetrated into the Xiaoguan area for nearly a hundred years.

The ancient road has become dilapidated after a long period of erosion.

Most of the roads had even collapsed, and Xue Tong and his men could sometimes only march along the rugged and steep mountain beams.

At this time, the well-trained side of the Hexi Army was vividly displayed, and 3,000 soldiers ran in the mountains, as if walking on flat ground.

When the sky was about to dawn, Xue Tong led the army to arrive at the city of Xiaoguan.

At this time, everyone hid behind a mountain beam, and then continued to move forward, turning the mountain beam to the head of Xiaoguan City.

Just as Xue Tong was about to give the order to attack, he saw that a Later Qin army on the Great Wall in the distance was also galloping towards Xiao Pass.

His mind was in a hurry, and he immediately guessed that the intention of this group of Hou Qin troops was to rush to Xiaoguan for reinforcements.

Now that the beacon wolf smoke at the head of Xiaoguan City has been ignited, it is obvious that the Qin army in other strongholds has received the news of the attack.

Just when Xue Tong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, he saw Huan Zhen leading people to kill in a surge, causing chaos in Xiaoguan City.

The Hexi army took Huan Zhen as the arrow, and the whole army was like a broken bamboo, and the Qin soldiers cried and screamed all over the place, and the corpses were all over the ground, and soon occupied the city tower.

After controlling the situation, Huan Zhen immediately ordered someone to turn the city gate winch.

Soon there was a creaking and rattling of the city gates.

When Xue Tong saw this scene, he immediately waved his knife and shouted: "Brothers, kill in, kill in!" ”

The three thousand Hexi troops let out a shout and followed Xue Tong into the city gate.

Like a surging tide, they instantly swallowed the Hou Qin soldiers who had just come over and the guards of the pass.

On the wall of Xiaoguan, the guard general Lu Chao stared blankly at the smoke rising into the sky in the pass.

The smoke and dust had drifted over Xiao Pass, obscuring the morning sun, and in the sky, gray and black clouds rolled over, as if the end was coming.

Having just seen reinforcements arrive, he thought he could turn the tide.

Unexpectedly, the Hexi Army also arrived almost at the same time, making all efforts in vain.

Originally, the defenders only had 3,000 people, but now that they have lost the support of Guancheng, can he still stop the Hexi army?

At this time, a scout rushed over and reported: "General, our reinforcements have encountered a surprise attack by the enemy and suffered heavy casualties. ”

It turned out that as soon as the two support armies of the enemy and us met each other, thousands of crossbow arrows were shot at the reinforcements of the Later Qin.

As a result, there was a flurry of arrows, and the Hou Qin soldiers were killed and injured countless times, and there was a sudden chaos.

The Later Qin people could no longer support it, and they turned around and fled.

When Xue Tong saw that the enemy was about to flee, he immediately shouted: "Kill!" Don't let go of an enemy. ”

Thousands of Hexi soldiers shouted, brandished their swords and rushed towards the Hou Qin people, and the two sides launched a fierce battle on the city.

Lu Chao was taken aback when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel confused, and he didn't know what to do.

Another soldier shouted: "General, look, the Hexi Army is coming!" ”

In fact, there is no need for his subordinates to remind him, Lu Chao also saw that a Hexi army of thousands of people was coming towards Guannei, and he was getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the Hexi Army was holding a bright horizontal knife in his hand, and then thinking of the past achievements of the Hexi Army, Lu Chao couldn't help but shudder.

At that moment, the fighting spirit in his heart suddenly disappeared, and the retreat in his heart sprouted, and he turned to the left and right and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The defenders had already been killed and retreated, and even if Lu Chao did not order them to retreat, it would not be long before they would collapse.

It's just that Lu Chao's order became the last straw that crushed the will of the Later Qin soldiers to resist.

Hearing the order to retreat, the Hou Qin soldiers suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, and fled outside the city one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Pass, which was originally slightly crowded, only a few thousand Hexi troops remained, and the Qin people were already less than a few hundred.

Huan Zhen stood at the head of the city and looked south, and countless deserters appeared in the south of Xiongguan, as many as a thousand people, all of whom were defeated Later Qin people.

Behind them, hundreds of Hexi soldiers shouted and shouted, still chasing them.

After Xue Tong led the main force to join Huan Zhen, he quickly took control of the entire Guancheng.

As a result, just overnight, Xiao Guan fell into the hands of Hexi.

Soon, Zhen Wei led 3,000 cavalry into Xiaoguan.

At this point, the Hexi Army had successfully completed the first pre-war objective, laying the foundation for the next capture of Anding County.

"Daoquan, Zizheng, you two have done a good job, and now that Xiao Guan has been lowered, the door to stability will be completely opened."
