Hu Chuquan is a typical Hun at first glance, long and unusual, tiger back bear waist, nine feet high, a body of strong muscles, gray eyes are deep-set, eagle nose like a hook, full of beard, face fierce and violent atmosphere, generally honest and timid people, just look at this appearance, you can be scared by three points.

Hu Chuquan looked at the armor and weapons of the Bingzhou army, his eyes lit up, his saliva flowed, and he almost wanted to order a plunder.

"Hehe, King Youxian, as long as you can kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, these things will be indispensable to you in the future." He Chen, who was on the side, began to guide again, throwing out countless meatloaf with poison, and said with a smile on his face.

"Is that true?" Hu Chuquan reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and looked at He Chen with surprise on his face, how did he feel that the black, ugly and ugly armor on this guy was not as good as that of ordinary soldiers. Hu Chuquan was stunned and thought, but he held tightly in his hand a full moon scimitar that looked extremely precious and luxurious, this was the treasure that He Chen gave him, and its sharpness was no less than that of fish intestines and other swords.

"Of course. The eldest husband is full of words, and he has never been a good man. He Chen didn't think about whether it could be realized, ran the train with his mouth full, and said in a panic.

"Happy, the state pastor is the most refreshing one of the Han people that King Benxian has dealt with for so many years, and this king recognizes you as a brother." Hu Chuquan said very cheerfully and loudly.

"Haha. The cavalry under King Xian is really fierce and abnormal, and he is not ashamed to be the eagle of the desert and the man of the grassland. He Chen looked at the somewhat sick war horse, and after the thin Hun rode it, he said with a smile on his face.

Xiao is Hu Chuquan has a intestine to the end, and he also listened to the voice of He Chen's words, and couldn't help blushing like soy sauce, and he was ashamed. Fortunately, his face was black, and he couldn't see anything. When he spoke, he obviously lacked confidence: "Zhou Mukua said, this is not for hunger, you must know that the Hun cavalry in the heyday was invincible after galloping thousands of miles on the grassland." "Speaking of the back, this guy has a glorious face and a smug face.

"Phew" What kind of old account book is it, He Chen despises it extremely. After the division of the Xiongnu, after many blows by the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the Northern Xiongnu had already declined. In 151 A.D., the Han general Sima Da led the Han army to attack Puzihai (now Balikun Lake, Xinjiang Province) and defeated the new Huyan King of the Northern Xiongnu, who led the Northern Xiongnu to retreat westward, opening the prelude to the second westward escape. Since then, it has disappeared in the eyes of the Han people for hundreds of years. The Southern Xiongnu existed for a shorter time, and by the year 216, they were completely absorbed by Cao Ying.

He Chen didn't smile shamefully, and nodded in agreement with him on the surface.

On purpose, He Chen quickly had a certain favor with Chef Quan. The two had a harmonious atmosphere in this way, all the way to Yanmen Pass.

In fact, Yanmen Pass was not called this name in the Han Dynasty, but Xijing Pass. Because of its majestic terrain, the root reaches the three passes, and the throat is all Jin, it has always been the strategic fortress of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu, the Tang Dynasty to defend the Turks, the Song Dynasty Khitan, the Ming Dynasty to block the Wara, etc., and is regarded as the important place to defend Kyoto and protect the Central Plains. It is famous for its fortresses, steep and many wars in history, and is listed as one of the nine famous passes in China.

Yanmen Pass has a long history, and at the end of the Warring States Period, it was already "the world's nine stops, and Yanmen was the first". Its majestic pass is close to the mountain and is high on the mountain. On the east and west wings, the mountains are undulating. The Great Wall of the mountain ridge, its potential is meandering, and it goes east to Pingxingguan, Bauhinia Pass, and Baoma Pass, and reaches Youyan and connects Hanhai; Go west to Xuangangkou, Ningwuguan, to the Yellow River. There are two gates of east and west in the pass, all of them are stacked with huge bricks, the geese pass through the clouds, the bearing is high, it is praised as the three passes to be unparalleled, and the first pass is respected by the nine stops.

It is also a strategic place that can affect the situation in the entire Guannai, and has always been regarded as a springboard for foreign races to attack the Central Plains and a fortress for the Central Plains to resist foreign invasion. Heng Mountain in the north of Shanxi is the fence of North China, and Taihang in the west of Shanxi is the backbone of the world. And Yanmen is choking the throat of the whole of China, so there is a saying that those who get Yanmen have to merge with the state, and those who have to merge with the state have the world.

Yanmen Pass is the largest in-depth military defense system in the whole Central Plains, Shuangguan four mouths and eighteen passes, three cities and six villages, twelve cities and thirty-nine forts, and the Great Wall together constitute the military defense system, which can be called the most large, complete, strict and complex military city defense system in ancient China, and is the pinnacle of defense engineering in the era of cold weapons.

The pun refers to the fact that the Yanmen Pass is composed of the East Pass and the West Pass, and the pun coexists and relies on each other. Before the Song Dynasty, the west pass was the main defense, and the east pass relied on defense, and after the Song Dynasty, especially the Ming Dynasty, the east pass was the main defense, and the west pass was relied on for defense. The four mouths refer to the south pass and Guangwu pass connecting the east pass, and the Taihe Lingkou and Baicaokou connecting the west pass, which are two important strategic passages to cross the natural danger of Yanmen. As for the three cities and six villages, and the eighteen passes and thirty-nine forts, it will be said in detail.

Zhang Liao saw that He Chen's brigade finally came up to support, and he was relieved of the worries and anxieties that came to him, to be honest, since the spring, Xianbei launched a continuous, like a turbulent spring offensive, almost overwhelmed Zhang Liao, I don't know how many hairs have been boiled white, and it is in this situation that his military ability is almost like boiling oil, completely stimulated. The whole person grew up and matured rapidly, and began to move closer to a generation of famous generals.

Under the Yanmen Gate, the whole city fortress is like a hedgehog bunker embedded in the mountains, all kinds of fortifications are lined up, sentry towers, ravines and arrow towers, and every place exudes a suppressed bloody atmosphere. Almost all of them stepped into the pass as soon as they felt a strong atmosphere of war, with arrows, weapons and materials stacked on one side of the pass, wounded lying on one side being bandaged and treated, etc., and everyone's spirits began to become heavy.

As if to welcome He Chen's arrival, before he had washed away his body of wind and dust, the loud and dull sound of the military horn under the Yanmen Gate had already resounded in the sky. And the guards of Yanmen Pass, almost at the same time quickly reacted, the sound of chaotic and neat footsteps sounded from all directions, from the side of the barracks, rushed out of an army of about 1,000 people, in the integrated strong, full of beard, about thirty years or so of the middle-aged general under the leadership, flying on the top of the tower.

He Chen, who was careful, could see that every soldier had a more or less tired look on his face, and even a few of them were slightly injured. But even in this case, the soldiers still had no complaints, their faces were expressionless, and under the leadership of the general, they quickly and resolutely climbed the tower, and the fierce aura on their bodies was not comparable to those recruits in the state.

Zhang Liao saw that He Chen and the generals behind him looked a little surprised, so he began to explain: "This is a routine skill of Xianbei, and it won't take long to retreat." ”

He Chen's face was a little gloomy and said, "Why are there still wounded soldiers on the front line?" ”

Zhang Liao also said helplessly: "Xianbei soldiers are sufficient, every time they are harassed in batches, at least two or three times, and more than five or six times to tackle key problems, Yanmen has two passes and four mouths, almost every day, in order to keep the soldiers physically strong, they can only change the defense in batches, and because of the lack of troops, they can only be lightly injured and not get out of the line of fire, so as to maintain a certain number of combat effectiveness." You must know that in less than two months, our army has killed 1,000 people and disabled nearly 10,000 people. Of course, the Xianbei people are not having a good time, and according to the estimation of their subordinates, at least tens of thousands of people have died in the pass. ”

Everyone's faces were moved in unison.

I always knew that the battlefield of Yanmen Pass was urgent, but I didn't expect that the battle situation would be tragic to this point, no wonder He Chen would attach so much importance to this matter, and even tried his best to renegotiate and personally lead the support to the north, obviously expecting that the battle line of the Yanmen defense line would be tight one step earlier. Ma Yu, who was behind him, couldn't help but ask: "Xianbei is a strategy to disturb, I want to tire our army's heart, but why are there so many casualties?" ”

Zhang Liao, who has completely transformed from a handsome boy and a Confucian general, looked back at Ma Yu and said with a sneer: "It is said that it is a disturbing offensive, but there are more than 10,000 people who attack each attack, plus Xianbei is a nomadic people, who grew up in a bitter cold land, and all the soldiers are almost not afraid of death, and they are brave. ”

Ma Yu was silent and had nothing to say.

Under He Chen's signal, Zhang Liao led everyone, closed the gate of the mountaineering goose, and looked down from a high position, and the scene in the eyes shocked everyone again.

Outside the Yanmen Pass, the endless grassland desert stretches to the end of the distant horizon, except for the whistling yellow sand, there is also a green grassland, there is nothing in the sight anymore, except for the dense cavalry under the Yanmen Pass.

At this time, the scene under the gate is extremely spectacular, the iron hooves are rolling, the yellow sand is permeated, and the wind is howling and the horses are roaring. In the shock of He Chen and the generals who couldn't return to their senses for a long time, countless tall and strong, fierce and brave Xianbei soldiers carried simple ladders, pushed building cars, city vehicles and other equipment, and shouted deafening slogans, almost like being closed by the crazy impact of the divine descending spell and not afraid of death.

The Han army on the pass seemed to have regarded all this as normal, and faintly heard a general commanding loudly and calmly responding. Countless arrows poured down from the gate like a storm, fiercely suppressing the enemy's charge. The falling rocks, boiling oil, and boiling water kept pouring down from the gate, and there were bursts of screams and screams, even the people watching the battle from the height in the rear were terrified to hear.

It was only at this moment that Li Yan and Guo Jia understood why Zhang Liao sent people to the party every once in a while to urgently ask for arrows and other materials, if there were no such things, they were afraid that the defense force of Yanmen Pass would be reduced by at least half.

And the generals are even more heartbroken, heavy and endless, such a tragic battle, in Zhang Liao's mouth is just a disturbing battle, and it happens almost every day several times, which makes them almost dare to imagine how it will be when Xianbei launches the real momentum?

"How can Xianbei have the siege equipment of the Great Han?" Xu Huang, who was behind He Chen, shouted in horror when he saw so many siege equipment.
