In the seventh year of the Warring States Period, on the night of December 19, at three o'clock, under the order of Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Eastern Wu, the Wu army launched the first northern expedition against Cao Wei.

The history of Great Wu called this Northern Expedition the Battle of Lightning.

This battle started from Yangping Pass, and the majestic pass city wall of Yangping Pass also became the beginning of the advent of the era of hot weapons.

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!

Rumble!!!!!!

One after another, the earth-shattering sound of bombardment continued to erupt along the entire pass of Yangping Pass, and the entire pass became a sea of fire.

As the ground shook, the solid rocks began to crumble.

"What is this?"

"Help!"

"Has the earth dragon turned over?"

"Is it heaven's punishment?"

Under the strong bombardment of thunder one by one, the section of the city wall of Yangping Pass collapsed, the flames soared to the sky, the earth shook the mountains, and countless soldiers died with the collapse of the city wall.

That scene frightened countless Wei soldiers, and they fled in all directions in fear.

"How so? What the hell is going on? ”

Cao Xiu walked out of Xiaoweng City, staggering, and it took him half a day to stand firm, his eyes watched the flames rise, and the smoke of gunpowder shrouded the city, gritting his teeth and looking at everything that came suddenly.

He couldn't imagine that a strong wall would crumble into ruins in an instant, and the barrier he relied on would disappear in an instant.

He was shocked, and hurriedly looked out of the city.

"Is it Wu Jun's means?"

Cao Xiu's eyes were reflected in the firelight, and he had clearly seen the Wu army waiting outside the city, and the dense Wu army soldiers had obviously been waiting for a long time.

At this moment, he was a little flustered in his heart.

"General, this should be a thunderstorm!"

At this time, a former captain of the Hanzhong Army came out. Cao Xiu said with some panic: "I have seen the scene of a thunderstorm exploding, and that's it." ”

"Thunder?" Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that the secret weapon unique to the Heavenly Master Alliance?" ”

"That's right, but with the power of the Heavenly Thunder, if we want to blow up this Guancheng, even our entire Heavenly Master Alliance doesn't have so many Heavenly Thunderbolts, except for the city head. Both the eastern and western walls have collapsed, which can only be done by at least a thousand thunderbolts! The captain of the Hanzhong Army said.

The Heavenly Thunder has always been the most secret weapon of the Heavenly Master Alliance, although it is infinitely powerful, but it is too little, it is difficult to see under normal circumstances, and he can't imagine that someone actually uses the Heavenly Thunder to break the city.

Cao Xiu looked at the Wei soldiers who were wailing all over the city pass, and was dumbfounded: "How can the Wu army have such a sharp weapon?" ”

"General, the gates are about to collapse, so let's go. Enter the city to gather soldiers and horses! ”

An adjutant general shouted: "The city wall can no longer be saved!" ”

"How many casualties did the soldiers of the city wall suffer?"

Cao Xiu looked at the few remaining defenders on the city wall, gritted his teeth and asked.

"The 5,000 soldiers on duty tonight are finished!" A soldier said sadly.

"Let's go!"

Cao Xiu's expression became cold, no longer looked at the soldiers in the wailing, turned around and left the city gate, returned to the city to gather soldiers and horses, the city pass has been broken, the battle has been lost, the best result is to break out.

"Haha. This scene is so spectacular, it's much cooler than watching a movie! ”

Outside the city. Not far from under the city gate, Sun Quan was riding on horseback, and the moment he looked at the fireworks that bloomed, his heart was slightly excited.

He can be regarded as having experienced countless cold weapon battles, but it is also the first time he has seen this kind of bombing scene, and he has seen a lot of war movies on the movie that take down hot weapons. But this visual intuition is incomparable.

"It's horrible!"

"Even if the tiger prison is closed, it can't be stopped!"

"We Dawu have such a sharp weapon, who in the world can stop us from dominating the world!"

Lu Bu Sun Ce and the other generals looked at this terrifying scene, but they were a little frightened.

"The defeat of Shu is not unjust!" Chen Zhi swallowed his throat, his pupils were pursed, if it was said that the Tianpeng Army broke through the Pujia Pass at the beginning, it was a trick. So now it's a very intuitive violent breach of the city.

"Your Majesty, all the thunderstorms have been detonated, and now the city walls have been blown open, and the city gates have been broken!"

At this time, Gan Ning rode his horse back and reported to Sun Quan excitedly: "Now you can enter the city, there is chaos in Yangping Pass, it is a good time to break the enemy!" ”

"Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Sun Ce!" The white tiger spear in Sun Quan's hand was raised and he shouted.

"The last general!"

The three fierce generals rode out and gave up their hands.

"Lu Bu is the main general, Zhao Yun is the left vanguard, Sun Ce is the right vanguard, you will lead 50,000 cavalry, enter the city and fight, before dawn, solve the battle, remember, one cannot escape, you must take them all!"

Sun Quan said categorically.

They are cavalry, the speed of the cavalry is unparalleled, as long as they have the intention to destroy the enemy, none of the enemy troops in this Yangping Pass can escape.

"No!"

Lu Bu became excited, and the red rabbit under his crotch was like a red wind to kill: "Sons, go into the city to kill the enemy, don't surrender, kill without forgiveness, before dawn, solve the battle." ”

"Kill!"

Zhao Yun and Sun Ce fought left and right, with Lu Bu as the loyal arrow, and the three-way army crossed the ruins of the city wall and directly entered the Yangping Pass.

And Chen Zhi and Lei Ding, with two cavalry divisions and the elite overlord iron horse, rode on a white horse, and stood still, guarding Sun Quan's left and right, waiting for the end of this battle.

In the wind and snow, the fire soared into the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves, shouts, and battles converged into a war song.

The battle was fierce.

Cao Xiu is worthy of being the Cao family's thousand-mile horse, although the Wu army directly broke through the city pass, but he was not depressed, then it was a defeated battle, he still took tens of thousands of soldiers to fight the beast, and fought fiercely with the Wu cavalry in the city pass.

Yangping Pass is not only a pass, but also a city pass, after the broken city wall, there is a city inside.

"Divide the troops to resist and defend the city!"

This was Cao Xiu's strategy, taking advantage of the city's terrain to restrain their cavalry advantage.

But he underestimated the Wu army, although the Wu army was a cavalry, but the generals led by them were all fierce generals, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Sun Ce, and the three generals were all first-class generals in the world.

After entering the city, one person led a large army, swept through the carpet, three arrows advanced, invincible, the Wei army was defeated and retreated, and there were countless casualties.

When dawn was approaching, this battle also came to the final end, Cao Xiu retreated while fighting, led the only remaining 10,000 remnants, and retreated to the last position that could be defended in Yangping Pass.

"General, I'll stop them, you lead three thousand elites and quickly break through to Chencang!"

A loyal adjutant general of the Wei army said.

"It's useless, they're all cavalry, I can't run away!"

Cao Xiu fought fiercely all night, looking tired, he looked at the cavalry of the Wu army that was constantly attacking the Wei army's formation in the distance, and there was a trace of despair in his heart.

It was Lu Bu who charged head-on, Zhao Yun who attacked on the left, and Sun Ce who surrounded him on the right.

These generals can kill him in seconds if they pull out any of them, and when these generals are united, even if they don't have a single soldier, they can come and go freely from their great array.

The three of them joined forces and wanted to break through their formation, it was only a matter of time, and they were cavalry, and they couldn't run on four legs on their own two legs.

"General, no matter what, I will definitely protect you and kill you!" The deputy general is about thirty years old, very strong, named Jia Kui, and is Cao Xiu's loyal general.

"Jia Kui!"

Cao Xiu tore off a piece of white cloth from his waist, bit his fingers, wrote down a blood book, handed it to Jia Kui, and said: "If you bring soldiers, none of us can go, but you are strong in martial arts, if you are alone, take advantage of the chaos, you will definitely be able to break through, you break through with my blood book, and then hand it over to Your Majesty!" ”

"General, I'm not leaving!"

Jia Kui's eyes were red.

"You want me to die without a blind eye?"

Cao Xiu shouted, holding his collar with both hands: "Defeat and this, we are guilty, for the Great Wei Jiangshan, we can all die in battle, but we must let Your Majesty know that Wu Jun has such a terrifying weapon, understand?" ”

"The last general commands!"

Jia Kui tearfully accepted the order, put Cao Xiu's blood book into his arms, looked at the tragic battlefield, gritted his teeth, took off the battle armor on his body, and disappeared into the night with a bronze sword.

"Sons, it is not a crime to lose this city, but after all, we have lost the barrier of Great Wei, I have no shame to see Your Majesty again, now I should fight one by one and shame, you are willing to fight!" Cao Xiu stood up and took the lead to inspire the army.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Under the leadership of Cao Xiu, the elite of the Wei army counterattacked, and although the defeat was irreparable, it caused greater casualties to the Wu army.

"What a tenacious Wei army!"

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others broke the formation with violence, and with their strong combat effectiveness and strength, they went straight up.

"Lu Fengxian, you should die!" Cao Xiu watched the soldiers fall one by one, and with a certain heart of death, he killed Lu Bu.

"Bell!"

Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd swept by, and a huge force killed Cao Xiu's war horse, directly sweeping him out of the three zhang.

Burst!

Cao Xiu spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was dizzy.

The day dawned, the snow stopped, the fierce fighting also stopped, and the entire Yangping Pass had become a ruin, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the sky.

"Your Majesty, all the enemy troops in the city have been swept away, 18,000 enemies have been killed, 26,000 prisoners have been captured, and Cao Xiu has been captured by Lu Bu's soldiers!" A general rode out and reported to Sun Quan.

"It's a good fight, immediately pass on my military order, and the whole army will rest for an hour and prepare to go north!"

Sun Quan's eyes burst out with a touch of essence, and Yangping Pass was cleared, that is, he had no worries, he could go straight to Guanzhong and go north to Yuyang.

"Your Majesty, how are the captives in this Yangping Pass good?" Gan Ning stood up and asked.

"Jiang Qin will lead the troops into Yangping Pass after dawn, and these prisoners can be handed over to him, as for Cao Xiu, this person will be kept first!"

Sun Quan rode out and looked at the sky: "Li Nie, send the Jinyi Guard, I don't want to see any fish that slip through the net, now the success or failure of the Northern Expedition is in this move, and we must not let Luoyang City be a little vigilant!" ”

"No!"

Li Nie nodded and took the order. (To be continued.) )
