Between Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an, the western capital, there are two related cards: Hangu Pass and Tongguan. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Hangu Pass, the closest to Luoyang, choked the throat of the eastern capital leading to Chang'an. And Tongguan, although it is also located in the rush, but can not be completely blocked, Luoyang west into Chang'an's passage.

Therefore, when the power was shrinking at the beginning, Tongguan was not valued by Cao Cao.

If it weren't for sending some guys who didn't want to see him, Cao Cao would probably not send troops to garrison Tongguan.

When the bandits broke through Tongguan, the 3,000 old and weak troops stationed at the checkpoint were all wiped out, but the main general Cao Er retreated and fled back to Hangu Pass. Before Cao Mengde could execute Cao Er, tens of thousands of bandits were killed at the Hangu Pass.

……

It's the middle of summer, and showers are common.

After the shower, Hangu Pass finally had a little coolness. However, looking at the bandit camp under the gate, Cao Cao and his dog-headed military advisors, who had just rushed over, had a cold sweat running down their backs.

There are more than 10,000 troops, boundless.

Tens of thousands of bandits stationed a thousand steps away from the Mahan Valley Pass, stretching no less than three miles before and after.

Moreover, the strength of the bandits is comparable to that of generals of the same level, tens of thousands of generals above the twenty-first level, and Cao Mengde does not know who in the world can stop his edge.

At this moment, Cao Mengde thought of Hao Meng.

At this time, Cao Cao didn't know, even the three dog-headed military divisions who accompanied him definitely didn't know that the strength of the tens of thousands of bandits under Hangu Pass was definitely far beyond the twenty-first level!

Hangu Pass, in the city gate tower, Cao Cao asked left and right: "Can Hangu Pass be guarded?" ”

After the pass, the showers stopped and the bandits were in a commotion, and it seemed that the siege was about to begin.

Tens of thousands of bandits attacked, and they almost caught Hanguguan off guard. If it weren't for a timely shower, the bandits waited quietly in the rain for more than two hours, but I am afraid that Hangu Pass would have fallen by this time.

After all, even if he is a thirty-first level bandit king, he doesn't have any powerful spells, and most of them only have a few mid- and low-level spells, which are still fire and earth.

Earth-based spells and fire-based spells are both more practical spells when breaking a city; Even if it is a low-level spell, if it is used against the city wall too much, it can still blast the city wall out of the gap.

It's just that when it's raining, the fire spell can't be used at all, and the power of the earth spell is also reduced.

Therefore, the bandits can only wait in the rain and wait for the showers to subside.

It can also be seen from this that among these tens of thousands of bandits, there was absolutely no bandit king before.

If there were a bandit king, with the strength of the bandit king above level forty, he would have used a [smoke dissipation] to make this shower unable to fall!

……

Xun Yu, Chen Yu, Guo Jia, the three of them were overlooking the bandit formation just now, and they didn't have a little worry in their hearts. Tens of thousands of generals above level 20 are attacking the city, who can guarantee that they can defend it?

It's just that this kind of discouraged answer must not come from their mouths.

"Back to the lord." Xun Yu thought for a moment and replied first.

"This Hangu Pass is as high as fifteen zhang, even if the holy beast comes in person, except for the Vermilion Bird and the Green Dragon, the other two are afraid that it will be difficult to fly. Although there are many bandits in the pass, it is absolutely impossible to fly across the Hangu Pass! ”

"In this way, if the bandits want to break through this level, they can only use spells to continuously bombard the wall. Only by blasting out the gap in the wall can the bandits have the possibility of killing into the gate! ”

"We didn't arrange it just now, if the bandits attack the city directly when they come, Hangu Pass is afraid that it has already changed hands at this moment."

"Now, the Guan is already full of strong bows and crossbows, and there are nearly 100 bed crossbows on the wall, and there are bed crossbows in Luoyang on the way to be transferred. With the bed crossbow, the bandits can keep them coming and going as long as they dare to step within a thousand steps! ”

"Therefore, in a short period of time, the lord does not need to worry about the safety of Hangu Pass."

Xun Yu's analysis was very loud, and the soldiers guarding the entire wall heard it. Although Xun Yu did not dare to guarantee that Hangu Pass would be able to hold out for a few days under the obscenity of the bandits, the necessary encouragement of morale could not be relaxed.

Cao Cao is a person who understands, and when Xun Yu analyzed it loudly, he understood that at this time, as the master of one party, even if he was cold, he should not show it.

Besides, as Xun Yu said, with a bed crossbow to guard the pass, these bandits want to capture Hangu Pass, without killing or wounding most of them, and without going through three or five days of fighting, they will definitely not be able to take Hangu Pass!

……

As he spoke, there was a commotion among the bandits under the gate, and tens of thousands of bandits separated left and right like a wave, and a passage was separated in the middle. Then, a horse rode from the passage, and when it approached the thousand-step cordon, it stood on horseback.

That ride, from a distance, is not very clear. But he can tell the difference between his movements. I saw that the rider seemed to wave his hand, and stared at Hangu Pass for a while, and then retreated from the passage again.

Then, the siege of the bandits began.

"What about [the wind and clouds change color]? Now that this spell is used, it should be raining again, and the bandits will not be able to attack the city today! Seeing that the bandits began to attack the city, Cao Cao asked in a low voice to Xun Yu beside him.

[Wind and clouds change color] can change the time of day, making heavy rain within a radius of ten miles. As the strength of the generals has grown, there are already many generals who have used this spell, and Xun Yu also has this spell.

However, Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Back to the lord, the minister has just cast this spell, but it has no effect. ”

"If the minister's guess is correct, the bandit just now should have used some kind of spell to make our spell to change the time of the day invalid."

Xun Yu's speculation is inseparable. Although the bandits are monsters, their IQ cannot be ignored.

Hearing this, Cao Cao and the others were only slightly disappointed. Since it could not be stopped, the siege of the bandits, as well as the defense of Hangu Pass, could only be carried out normally

……

Today, the bandits besieged Hangu Pass, and the way of attack was obviously different from the past.

According to the previous records, as well as the summary of the actual combat during this period of time, the bandits attacked the city, always without discipline, and after arriving at the target that needed to be attacked, they swarmed and killed it.

However, now, those bandits under Hangu Pass, they don't know which one they are crazy, and they are no longer killed by a swarm, but more than 300 bandits in the front row, directly stepping within a thousand steps, and then constantly swimming, and constantly casting spells on the wall.

As for the bandits in the back, they actually stood still, sitting and watching the bandits in the front row perform, and also sat and watched these bandits in the front row being shot by the bed crossbow on the wall.

……

One by one, stalagmites suddenly appeared on the wall, sometimes killing and injuring a few soldiers, sometimes only destroying one or two battlements.

Huge stone balls suddenly appeared on the wall and rolled with thunder. Wherever the stone balls went, whether it was the bed crossbow or the soldiers in front of them, they were all crushed by the city powder.

There are also clusters of flames, which will also suddenly jump up on the wall, bed crossbows, soldiers, as long as they are burned by these flames, most of them can only turn into ashes.
