Chapter 411: Tong Guan was stunned

Chaoyi City, the next turn is Tongzhou, there is Zhao Yougong's base camp, can he give up? I was overjoyed, and I instinctively felt that the opportunity had come. Tong Guan did not doubt the authenticity of the military newspaper, because there were official seals and code words, which could never be forged.

The general folded the report and shouted to the soldiers outside the tent, "Pass the order, and order the generals and colonels of all departments to go to the big tent before the end of the day." ”

After the order, Tong Guan called a few more probes, "A few of you hurry to Hangu Pass, you must find out the situation in Hangu Pass, and report back as soon as you have news." ”

Tong Guan was very cautious, even if the military report was true, he still didn't dare to make a decision immediately, because the first battle of Wuzhou made too deep an impression on him. That Zhao Yougong endured for more than ten years without being discovered, how deep his scheming was, the defeat of more than 100,000 Liao troops outside Wuzhou City, and he was very heroic, in the face of such a heroic figure, be more careful, there will be no mistake. Tong Guan needs to be sure of one thing, as long as there are signs of Hangu Pass dividing troops to retreat to the pass, it means that the possibility of Chaoyi City being captured is no longer false.

The big tent discussion was somewhat sudden, and the generals didn't know what was going on, and after the account was entered, Tong Guan was not in a hurry, and everyone was puzzled. At about three o'clock in the morning, the first wave of tanma had returned to Puqiao Town. Tanma entered the big tent and said, "Huitong Shumi, there are signs of a large number of soldiers and horses moving in the direction of Hangu Pass, there are only 1,000 people left in Xiaoyuefeng Dazhai, and many scarecrows have been found on the periphery. ”

Scarecrow? Tong Guan was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head with a smile, he really deserved to be Zhao Yougong, he was really sinister and cunning. Are those scarecrows made to confuse people? If there is no military newspaper. It really fooled him. Now everything is decided. Without any doubt, Tong Guan took out the military newspaper and said with a smile, "This letter came from Guanzhong, and it was written by Cao Pheno, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"What?" There are those who are happy and those who are surprised. Chaoyi City is the southern gateway of the Tongzhou capital. If this gateway is taken down, will the same state be far away? Most of the people in the tent are strong generals in the army, so they naturally understand the chain reaction brought about by the emergency in the same state. Zhao Yougong will definitely not let Tongzhou fall, if he wants to keep Tongzhou, he will have to divide his troops to help, so won't there be a chance on the side of Hangu Pass?

Liu Guangshi and Wang Ping were the happiest, but the reasons for their happiness were different, Wang Ping felt that the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity had come, and Liu Guangshi was happy that there was hope for killing Zhao Yougong. Inside this big tent. If anyone hates Zhao Yougong the most, it should be Liu Guangshi. Because Liu Guangshi knows it clearly. Once Zhao Yougong gains a firm foothold, he will definitely settle old scores. When the Dingguo Army declined, he Liu Guangshi was a great contributor, according to Zhao Yougong's temperament, can he let him Liu Guangshi go? The answer is that he will definitely not let it go, since this is the case, then he can only let Zhao Yougong die first.

Since the conquest of Guanzhong, the capture of Chaoyi City has been regarded as the only good news, and the depressing atmosphere has also been greatly eased. The generals are available, Tong Guan is naturally happy, he said with a stern expression, "General Liu, this commander ordered you to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to feint at Gudao to attack Hangu Pass, remember, in case of resistance, you will retreat, and your troops only need to be contained, no need to fight hard." ”

Liu Guangshi hurriedly got up and said loudly, "Wow! ”

Tong Guan nodded secretly, and then said, "The rest of the people will lead most of the men and horses to attack Xiaoyue Peak with this commander, and after taking Xiao Yue Peak, they will work together to capture Hangu Pass." From now on, all departments should be well prepared, and when the time comes, the whole army will rush to Hangu Pass. ”

Although Tong Guan is a eunuch, he can speak roughly, a little more heroic, and his speech is even more subdued and frustrated, which can infect people's feelings, and the generals' morale is much higher, and they all got up and raised their hands and said, "Oh, we will live up to the trust of the handsome." ”

The people of Puqiao Town swept away the haze of the past and their morale was greatly boosted. Everyone was high-spirited, but only Yang Weizhong sat in his room with a sad face. His Royal Highness Zhao can defeat the Liao soldiers under Wuzhou City, and he is extraordinary, will he not know the importance of Chaoyi City? Moreover, Yang Weizhong also knows a little about He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying, although these two are good, but they are only good, their siege of the city is nothing more than a hard attack of the ladder, if the Tongzhou side has prepared early, even if there is an absolute numerical advantage, it is impossible to take Chaoyi City in two days. I always feel that there is a problem, but I can't tell others. Now all the generals are counting on Hanguguan to make some military merits in the first battle, he Yang Weizhong has to come out and say that there is something strange and I am afraid of fraud, so shouldn't other people hate him Yang for a lifetime?

The next day, that is, on the evening of the eighth day of the sixth month, before the sunset, more than 40,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court who had been stationed in Puqiao Town for more than ten days finally set off in the direction of Hangu Pass. It was about the end of the Hai period, Tong Guan led the people to the foot of the mountain, and this time he wanted to wave his troops again to capture Xiaoyue Peak like Wang Ping. A total of more than 35,000 people, pulling a long line to slowly climb the mountain, when they came to the Xinfeng Pass, Tong Guan left 3,000 people to guard the Xinfeng Pass, and then continued to lead people through the narrow Xinfeng Pass, to the Xiaoyue Peak above. Tong Guan may not be outstanding in the art of war, but he has an advantage, that is, stability, no matter when, the first thing he thinks of is the back road, and he will never be beaten by someone blocking the back road like Wang Ping.

At the end of the day, the Xiaoyuefeng Dazhai was quiet as usual, and occasionally the cool breeze whistled by, and the officers and soldiers besieged the Xiaoyuefeng Dazhai again, this time they were more careful, but they were still discovered by the secret sentinel hiding in the trees.

The sound of the horn of "woo woo" sounded, like a long cry of doom, and the horn was used as a substitute for an urgent warning, which was also newly developed by the Dingguo Army. After the horn blew, the sneak attack was no longer successful, and Tong Guan gave an order, and the commanders led the men and horses of the department to rush into the small Yuefeng village. As Tong Guan expected, there were not many guards in Xiaoyuefeng Dazhai at this time, but there were nearly 5,000 realistic scarecrows. There were too many imperial army troops, and the current Xiaoyue Feng guard Niu Gao couldn't resist it, and while resisting, he withdrew to Hangu Pass.

Occupying Xiaoyue Peak, Tong Guan let out a bad breath happily, Xiao Yuefeng was defeated before, and directly lost more than 10,000 soldiers. Although Wang Ping was responsible for that time, he Tong Guan also had to bear part of the responsibility. Now that he personally leads the troops to defeat Xiaoyue Peak, it can be regarded as making up for the regrets of the past.

Hangu Xiongguan, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, is still standing, there are only a few people who can break Hangu Pass in history, and Tong Guan is like a newcomer who breaks Hangu Pass.

Xiaoyue Peak is occupied by the official army, and Xinfeng Pass is also heavily guarded, it seems that the imperial court soldiers and horses have no worries, but in fact, is it really so safe? There is no absoluteness in everything, at this time, there is a group of soldiers and horses slowly climbed up from the east of the mountain, this army of soldiers and horses walked with strict rules and was very quiet, and the direction they were advancing was Xinfengkou.

Gao Zhong led the troops to Xinfengkou, not to storm Xinfengkou, he was ordered to erect a strong barrier south of Xinfengkou. In addition to the Xinfeng mouth in the Hangu, there is a second sheep intestine mouth? Of course not, but can't you create your own zào if you don't have it? The army walked five miles south of Xinfengkou, Gao Zhong looked at the top of the mountain in the upper right corner, and said in a low voice, "That's it, put all the gunpowder bags on it, and block the road here." ”

A strange sneer flashed at the corner of Gao Pet's mouth as he spoke, Eunuch Tong Guantong, forgive you for being shrewd like a ghost, this time you have to be the eighth king on this Xiaoyue Peak. Come to the top of the mountain and place the powder bag under the boulder. Nowadays, the gunpowder of the Great Song Dynasty is not as powerful as the explosives of later generations, and it is really a little difficult to use it to blow up stones, but everything can't stop more than one.

Igniting the medicine twist, Gao Pet covered his ears and hid behind a big stone, Gao Pet, who has always claimed to be the first brave general of the Dingguo Army, was already like this, but there were still a few goods with their necks on their necks, looking at the direction of the medicine twist stupidly. Gao Pet slapped him down, "What are you doing, you retract your head and cover your ears with your hands." ”

A few stupid people pouted secretly, what's the big deal, I've seen the Thunderbolt Fire Thunder at the beginning, can this thing be more powerful than the Thunderbolt Fire Thunder? There are always people who don't believe in evil, so they wait with excitement in their eyes.

Boom, there was a red light on the top of the mountain, half of the sky was bright, the violent vibration was like an earthquake, and a wave of heat swept in, even if it was more than ten zhang away, you could still feel the unique heat. A large piece of the entire mountain top was missing, although it was scattered everywhere after the explosion, there were still a few soldiers of the Dingguo Army who were unlucky and were hit by small pebble mongregs, one of whom was smashed on the head and died on the spot. When the smoke cleared, I walked over and looked at the way down the mountain, where there were already piles of stones, leaving no gaps.

A few bold soldiers of the Dingguo Army stood stupidly in place, and some shouted their names, but there was no response, it turned out that there was a buzzing in their ears, and they couldn't hear anything at all.

Obediently, this thing is terrible, much stronger than a thunderbolt, if this is thrown into the crowd, how many people will have to be killed? It's a pity that this thing is too scarce, and it's not something you can have if you want to have it.

There was a sky-high fire in the south of Xinfengkou, accompanied by the earth-shattering explosion, with that sound, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and even the people in Xiaoyue Peak and Dazhai felt that their feet trembled three times. Tong Guan walked out of the big tent and asked urgently, "What happened just now?" ”

"Hui Tong Privy, I don't know!"

Tong Guan didn't bother to ask any more, and led his own soldiers out of Dazhai in person, until he came to Xinfengkou. Looking down from the height of Xinfengkou, just a glance, Tong Guan almost didn't plant himself in the mountain stream, he saw that the originally wide mountain road actually had an extra stone mountain, blocking the road tightly. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the surprise in his heart could not be described in words. I thought it would be foolproof to defend the Xinfeng Pass, but I didn't expect that the back road was blocked by someone, how did those people do it?

The back road was blocked, and the consequence was that the grain and grass could not come up, and Tong Guan finally understood the pain of Wang Ping being trapped in Xiaoyue Peak. When they came, the soldiers only brought food for two days, and if they did not take Hangu Pass within two days, the situation would be unimaginable.

Tong Guan decided to attack the city as soon as possible, and he would start fighting as soon as the time came, and he had to take Hangu Pass before the food ran out, and he didn't know if Liu Guangshi's side could cooperate. (To be continued......)
