After an extremely arduous trek, the forward troops of Gou Ji and Shi Kang finally arrived at the Hangu Pass at the end of the ugly time and the beginning of the Yin period. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Gou Ji and Shi Kang were looking at the towering city wall in the distance, but the sharp soldiers in front of them stopped.

"What's going on?" Shi Dang bent forward and asked softly.

"Listen, sir, a dog barks!" The black-clad guard pointed to the road ahead of the city wall.

Shi Dare listened intently, and sure enough, there was a faint dog barking, and he didn't dare to be careless at the critical moment, and withdrew far enough with his subordinates, so he took out a sealed oiled paper bag from his backpack, took out a few fist-sized pieces of beef from it, and rested them on the stones on the side of the road. His men did the same, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty pieces of beef were placed, and then quickly retreated.

After retreating to a boulder in the distance, Shi Dare and the others watched ahead with bated breath, waiting for a wild dog to come. But after a while, there was no movement, and a black-clothed guard said anxiously: "Why don't these three steps work?" Is it too long to fail? ”

Shi Dang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It was only prepared this morning." Wait, it may be a problem with the direction of the wind, and the smell is slow to spread. As he spoke, he saw a few black dots coming from the direction of Chengguan, reflecting the snow light. They found out that it was indeed a few skinny wild dogs.

A few old dogs shivering with hunger smelled the smell, and the closer they got to the smell, the stronger the smell became, and the more excited the wild dogs became. Finally, one of them was the first to find a piece, so he took a bite of it and ran away. As soon as they saw that it was about to run, the rest of the wild dogs, regardless of whether there were any other places, chased after the dog and barked.

It didn't matter if this bark was made, and after a while, the rest of the dogs were also found, and Shi dared to take a look at them...... Can't help but gasp, good guy! There are 100 of them!

These wild dogs are stronger, and as soon as they join the battle group and fight for food, the scene is much more spectacular. As soon as the dog found the rest of the flesh, it immediately caused a new bite...... The clever ones grabbed the meat, and the strong ones bit it, and there were also those who couldn't do it and followed it and barked and coaxed, making the scene extremely chaotic!

But the confusion lasted only a moment, and then wild dogs fell one after another, and in a short time only the stupid dogs, who had neither grabbed the meat nor bitten the dogs, looked at the upright corpses on the ground, and trembled in horror.

It turns out that the so-called 'three-step pouring' is actually a highly toxic drug, which can exude a strong fragrance and attract dogs to eat. Even if the dog does not eat it, if its teeth are stained with a little or three steps, it will definitely die. After the dog was drugged, it was also poisoned, and if other dogs bit it, they would also be poisoned and die, and it was extremely ruthless.

Immediately afterward, the remaining wild dogs were about to flee and were killed one by one by the crossbow arrows fired in the darkness, and only then did Shi Dare and the others get up from behind the rocks, cross the corpses all over the ground, and continue to move forward.

In the minds of Chinese people, the Spring Festival is the biggest, and on this day, there are big things to put down and have a good New Year. Even if the two sides of the border confrontation should put down their swords and guns for the time being, and then talk about it after the New Year, this is the conventional rule.

There was a festive atmosphere in the city of Hangu Pass, and the officers and soldiers of the Qi State were full of joy and full of joy to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. The officers all slaughtered chickens and wine in the general's mansion, slaughtered cattle for a banquet, and accompanied the general to celebrate the New Year. The soldiers also gathered in the barracks, using some rare meat and drinking to gamble, which was really happy......

In fact, in order to avoid mistakes, Zhao Wuyi did not allow the officers and soldiers in the city to drink, but who could control this happy day? In fact, there were pervasive merchants of Qi who smuggled wine from the country and sold it to the city at a high price to make huge profits. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the general generously bought more than a dozen truckloads of good wine with a stroke of his pen and distributed it to his officers and soldiers to boost the morale of the very low morale due to the defeat of Yum.

Of course, during the insurance period, he also arranged sentries at the head of the city, but such a big snowstorm, such a cold day, and such a day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, whoever is still on the city is a big fool...... They all hid in the house and drank.

There was also the responsible officer, who said unsteadily while drawing his fists: "Do you want to send a few people out to have a look?" ”

Then there was a familiar smile and said, "My lord, you forgot, there are people outside to help us stand guard!" "It's like, don't we throw bones out every day, just so that those dog sons can help keep watch?"

"Also, people don't have dog spirituality, and if a dog doesn't bark, it means it's okay." Only then did the officer reassure him: "Listen with your ears up!" Don't let the dog bark and don't hear it! ”

"Knowing your lordship, you can drink at ease, we'll listen," said his subordinate nonchalantly.

The officer stopped saying anything that was disappointing, but his ears were still listening. They were on the night shift, and in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a distant barking of dogs, as if many dogs were barking together.

"The dog barked, go out and have a look!" The officer pushed his drunken subordinates, shook himself out of the ear room, and looked down at the city, but saw that it was extremely quiet and there was no movement at all.

The soldiers who came out of the hurry laughed and said, "The adult is allergic, it's obviously an auditory hallucination." Besides, the people of Qin also have to celebrate the New Year. Then he took him back to drinking.

"Looks like I'm hallucinating." The officer muttered and went back......

In the middle of the day, when the sky was at its darkest, there was no one in the city. Shi Dang led the black-clothed guards to finally touch the corner of the city wall.

The black-clothed guard knew about today's action three days ago, and he had long been familiar with the parameters of the western wall of Hangu Pass, and quickly found the dark corner of the city wall, shot the spear hook of the city, and climbed to the top of the city as if he were walking on the ground.

It was easy to deal with the Qi army that came out to relieve them, and there were no more defenders on the city. Shi Dare looked at the ear rooms with lights on the left and right of the castle tower, and there was a presumptuous shouting and drinking order coming from inside, and it seemed that the sentinels were drinking in it.

made a move to divide the troops, and he personally led a dozen people to quietly touch the outside of the left ear room, and easily put down a room of drunks with incense, and then rushed in and were all killed. Leaving only those dressed in night patrol, they were doused with cold water to wake them up, and ordered them to strike the guard as usual, so as not to alarm the enemy.

After occupying the city, Shi Kang opened the city gate non-stop and received the large army into the city, until this time, the soldiers in the city found out, and they could not find the officer's report for a while, so they panicked and became chaotic.

When the Qin army rushed into the open inner city, someone hurriedly went in to report that "the official army is here." ”

The generals of the Qi army were still feasting, and when they heard this, they all laughed and said: "It must be the captives who rebelled, and when the day dawns, kill them all." Saying that, he continued to drink and have fun, and only sent a guerrilla out to stabilize the situation.

Who knew that the guerrilla quickly went and returned, and said with a pale face: "It is indeed the Qin army that has attacked, and the two city gates have been captured, and they are about to hit the general's mansion!" ”

The general was a little drunk, and sat there and said to himself, "Who is this, to attack here!" "There are generals on the side who have not yet drunk and confused, and immediately set up the general, while gathering troops, and on the other hand, they climbed to Yacheng to resist.

The shrill whistle sounded in the sky above Hangu Pass, and the soldiers hurriedly dropped the gambling game, threw away the wine bowl, and got up with armor and blades, but they generally found that their legs were very weak, especially when they opened the door and let the cold wind blow, it was good to be able to stand firm, and they didn't expect to fight hard at all......

In fact, some people have said this problem a long time ago, but everyone thought they were drunk, so no one cared, but now that everyone is weak-legged, it can't be explained by excessive drinking - is everyone too drunk?

Looking at each other in horror, they both realized that there was something wrong with the alcohol today! At this time, the fierce Qin people entered the barracks, and although the soldiers wanted to resist, they were helpless, so they had to drop their swords and surrender on their knees.

This large-scale 'wine poisoning' incident destroyed half of the Qi army's combat strength, and only more than 20,000 soldiers who had been assigned to the warehouse to store wine in the past could still get up and fight, but it was only enough...... After all, whoever drinks in the middle of the night can't act like someone who has nothing to do.

Although the Qin army was very tired, they easily stormed the city, which gave them great encouragement - when the time to pick peaches came, what were they waiting for? The soldiers of the Qin army, who were eager for meritorious service, rushed and killed everywhere in the city, washed one camp after another, and finally completely crushed the fighting spirit of the Qi army, and drove them to the east of the city.

When rushing to the General's Mansion located in the east of the city, the Qin army was in trouble, and none of the more than 2,000 pro-troops in the entire General's Mansion were poisoned...... Naturally, they also drank wine, but they were all drinking the old wine that was stored in the cellar of the former Qin Guocheng Shouzhoupan, not only did it not go up, but it was also very energetic!

This powerful force relied on Yacheng to protect the generals in the city and fight to the death against the invading Qin army.

More and more deserters from the Qi army gathered in Yacheng to help the general's personal guards resist the Qin army together!

The so-called Yacheng is the acropolis of the General's Mansion, which was specially built by Zhou Pan to prevent mutiny, although the scale is small, but it is complete, it is extremely strong, and there are enough food and straw materials inside, and it is no problem to hold on for a few months...... The only flaw is that the stored crossbow is not maintained, and after rain and snow, the bowstring breaks as soon as it is pulled, and it is impossible to shoot with the help of the advantageous position, which reduces its power a lot.

The Qin army came from afar, so naturally they would not bring any siege equipment, so they naturally ran into trouble. Bo Xian Saiyang had a brain fever for a while, and ordered his subordinates to attack, but there were many casualties and no effect, so he had to press down and be full of anger, and wait for Mr. Le to arrive.

Le Buyi was not in a hurry, and first ordered people to open the east gate, and at the same time chase and kill the Qi army outside the tooth city, drive them all out of the city, and then close the city gate, and renovate the turtle shell.

By this time it was already dawn and the snow had stopped. Le Buyi took a few generals around Yacheng and smiled at Qin Ba: "Do you know how weasels catch hedgehogs?" ”

"Fart." Qin Ba said simply, he is a wild child who grew up in the mountains, of course, this is not difficult for him.

"Yes, learned," Le Buyi praised, "worthy of being my high apprentice." "Everyone heard a chill for a while, and said in their hearts: 'If you know a fart, you can be a ghost valley master? Shall we also apprentice? ’

Ignoring everyone's suppressed gaze, as an outstanding grandmaster, Le Buyi is too accustomed to this kind of vision, if he doesn't have him, he will not get used to it......

"The generals obey the order," Le Buyi ordered in a deep voice, "order your men to go down and take all the combustible things in the city, preferably those that burn them and give off a strange smell, and pile them under the city of Tooth!" ”

"Order!" For this Guigu Immortal Master who led them to create a miracle and lost it, everyone admired it as a mess, how could he not obediently accept his life!

The Qin army found countless thatch, firewood, vegetable oil, lamp oil, dead pigs, dead sheep, etc., and put all kinds of strange things outside Yacheng, and set them on fire. With the momentum of the north wind, the fire burst into flames, and soon ignited the wooden structure on the castle tower.

The Qin army kept throwing combustibles into it, so that the fire continued to burn until the night of the second day of the new year, burning more than 3,000 people in Yacheng to death......

At this point, Hangu Pass once again returned to the hands of the Qin State.
