"General, General Wang said, there are still three miles ahead, which is the valley mouth!" Led the army to walk in the Meridian Valley for more than a dozen days, and Zhao Feng finally heard the most beautiful news that day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Not only him, but the soldiers around him couldn't help but shout softly when they heard this.

"Grandma's, it's finally coming down!" Zhao Feng wiped the sweat from his face, looked up at the sky, and sighed. Since entering the Meridian Valley, their 10,000-strong elite army has traveled lightly for twelve days, hiding their tracks along the way, just to create a miracle that shocks the world.

In the past ten days, there have been two small rains, but fortunately no major mudslides have been triggered, and only more than 100 people have really fallen off the cliff of 10,000 soldiers. Compared with the beginning, the situation is still much better. Zhao Feng looked at the back, and there were a lot of 1,000 Xiliang good horses. He knew that for the sake of these horses, Niu Jin had hardly slept well along the way. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng didn't say anything, just patted Niu Jin's shoulder, and everything was silent.

"General Wang has found out the news that the enemy army only has a small village at the mouth of the valley, and the number is only a few hundred!" At this moment, another herald came running and staggered. Zhao Feng was about to speak, when suddenly a big drop of water dripped on his head, and then a series of water droplets dripped down, smashing everyone a little off guard.

"Damn, it's almost out of the valley, and it's raining now!" Zhu Ran hurriedly picked up the hat and put it on, and he was also a little angry. When Zhao Feng heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly ordered: "Order General Wang, take advantage of this heavy rain, the enemy's defense is lax, and immediately wave the army to attack the enemy camp!" ”

"Yes!" After this person received the order, he hurriedly went to report to Wang Pingyu without mentioning it, and later Zhao Feng knew how lucky he was under this order. Although among the enemy's small villages, there were only 500 defenders. However, these 500 defenders are equipped with more than 200 fast horses, and in the event of an attack, they can send people to escape to the beacon towers on both sides, which are only a few dozen miles away, to warn. If it hadn't taken advantage of the heavy rain to catch these people off guard, then once they galloped wildly, their more than 10,000 foot soldiers would not have time to ride their horses in a hurry, and they might not have time to catch up with them. In this way, I am afraid that it will not take long for Zhong Xuan to know the news that he has entered the Guanzhong. Zhong Xuan knew that he would pay it back, in case Tongguan and Qingni Pass were also on guard, it would be much more difficult for him. And now such a blockade can at least delay for a while, so that he can calmly take the Qingni Pass and Tongguan.

"Kill!" With Wang Ping's order, more than 2,000 people in the front suddenly took advantage of the sudden heavy rain to enter the opponent's camp, and the defenders never dreamed that someone would come to raid them at this moment, and the hasty confrontation was suddenly slaughtered. The rainstorms of early summer came and went as fast as they came, and by the time the rain stopped, Wang Ping had basically ended the battle.

"General, the enemy defenders were four hundred, three hundred and fifty-four were killed, and one hundred and forty-six were taken prisoner. Our army lost one hundred and ninety-five people, and twenty-seven more were wounded! By the time Zhao Feng came to this small village, the battle was over, and Wang Ping reported to Zhao Feng.

"Okay, Zijun, quickly and I will peel off the corpse and the clothes and armor on the prisoner's body, I have another use." Zhao Feng ordered, Wang Ping went to act according to the order without mentioning it, and then Niu Jin told Zhao Feng that the rear camp found more than 200 war horses, which looked like they were owned by the defenders.

"Thanks to this heavy rain!" Zhao Feng was also shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, and then rejoiced. Looking up at the blue sky after the rain, Rao is Zhao Feng has never believed in ghosts and gods, and at this time he also secretly prayed in his heart: God, since you have already had a miracle, then give me another time. If I can make a contribution in one fell swoop this time, then I, Zhao Feng, would rather seal the sword and go into hiding, and never set foot on the battlefield again. From now on, fasting and vegetarian diet, no more killing.

However, Zhao Feng didn't expect that the miracle given to him by God this time would be so big. After stripping off the armor of the five hundred Guanzhong army, Zhao Feng ordered Niu Jin to lead five hundred people to change into the armor of the Guanzhong army, and then personally led them to act.

"Yifeng, the exploration of the horse is clear, the enemy army at the Qingni Pass is only a few thousand, and I will go with you with 3,000 elite soldiers to attack the Qingni Pass and raid the rear of the enemy. At present, Hao Bodao and General Zhang Gongyi must have attacked before the Qingni Pass, and with your two sides, you will definitely be able to easily take the pass. Zhao Feng first allocated three thousand men and horses and arranged them to Zhu Ran.

"Don't worry, the general will definitely take the pass and come to see the general!" Zhu Ran suddenly agreed, and then the whole army went without mentioning it. Zhao Feng himself led the remaining 7,000 men and horses, and after making arrangements in disguise, he passed through the Lantian line and went straight to Tongguan in Weinan.

Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong, located in Jin, Shaanxi, Henan Province to rush, choke Chang'an to Luoyang post road to the key point, is the key to enter and exit the three Qin, so it has become the end of the Han Dynasty since the end of the Han Dynasty into the Central Plains and west out of the Guanzhong, the Western Regions must pass through the place and the key pass. It is known as "the first risk in Jinnai", "the throat of the four towns", and "one hundred and two passes". There is the Qinling Barrier in the south, there is the Yellow River moat in the north, there is the year in the east, there is the natural defense line that crosses the east and west, such as the forbidden ditch, the original Wanggou, the Manluo River, etc., and it is bound to become "close the door and choke Kyushu, and the birds can not pass".

Zhao Feng knew that unlike other Guancheng, Tongguan was almost fortified in both directions. That is, whether it is to the east or west, Tongguan is difficult to capture, which is different from most passes. For example, Qingni Pass, where the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, it is difficult to attack from the east to the west, but if someone in the west destroys behind the defenders, then the defenders will inevitably be in chaos. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Feng dared to send only 3,000 people for Zhu Ran to deal with Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao.

Along the way, Zhao Feng asked hundreds of soldiers who had changed into Cao Jun's clothes and armor to run in front, and he led the army to follow unhurriedly in the rear, so he bypassed Chang'an and rushed to Tongguan. After crossing the Wei River, the scouts sent from the front suddenly came to report that a baggage team had been found in front.

"Cut it off with me!" Zhao Feng immediately ordered, and then ordered Wang Ping to lead the army to intercept the baggage team. Since this is still the hinterland of Sima Yi in Guanzhong, the baggage team is only escorted by hundreds of county soldiers. Zhao Feng made such a surprise attack, and in a short time, he killed very few of these county soldiers, and the military marquis led by Wang Pingsheng was also captured by Wang Pingsheng and sent to Zhao Feng.

"Who are you, and where are you going to escort the grain and grass this time?" Zhao Feng looked at the trembling military marquis in front of him and asked casually. This man was so frightened that his teeth were already chattering, but he still reluctantly replied: "The villain is Hu Ji, a military marquis under the command of Zhong Taishou, who was ordered to escort grain and grass to Tongguan. Before Xu Huang led the army to attack Tongguan, General Jiang Qi, who was guarding the pass, urged Zhong Taishou to send reinforcements, so Zhong Taishou sent a small escort to Tongguan. ”

"What, Xu Huang led the army to attack Tongguan?" Zhao Feng's surprise was really extraordinary. Is Xu Huang just a personal act, or is Cao Ying premeditated to intervene in the war between himself and Sima Yi? If he intervenes, how will he deal with it? A series of questions surged into Zhao Feng's mind, and for a moment he felt that his mind was almost about to short-circuit.

Forcing himself to calm down, after digesting the shock brought by Xu Huang's march, Zhao Feng calmed down, and then said to Wang Ping, who was at a loss: "Now the situation has changed, Xu Huang is attacking Tongguan. But whether it is Sima Yi or Xu Huang, they are all enemies like us. In this way, according to the original plan, we first led the army to capture Tongguan and Pubanjin. In addition, the flying pigeon sent a message to inform the lord that he should mobilize troops and horses from all over Jingxiang and prepare to respond to us! Zhao Feng knew that if Cao Ying really moved, even if Zhang Ren and Hao Zhao's 40,000 people entered Guanzhong, they might not be able to resist Cao Ying, let alone capture Guanzhong. At this moment, Liu Bei can't play soy sauce anymore.

"The last general understands!" Wang Ping and Zhang Wei also knew that the matter was urgent, and at that moment everyone pushed the grain and grass cart and continued to rush to Tongguan as soon as possible. Zhao Feng led the army forward with a calm face, but the waves in his heart were only clear to him. Now no one knows what the situation in Tongguan is, whether Cao Ying will make any moves, and what will happen to Sima Yi in Hanzhong, all of this is unknown. If you don't pay attention, more than 10,000 people will be explained on the Guanzhong Plain.

"Grandma's, fight!" Zhao Feng had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he was finally ready to fight. How can there be any certainty of victory in such a war? He has come to this point, if he is timid and afraid of things and escapes back to Shangyong from Meridian Valley Road, it will be simply embarrassing, and he can't afford to lose this person. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also ordered a quick march. Fortunately, with this baggage team, I originally wanted to rely on fake Cao Jun to open Tongguan, but now it seems that I don't need it.

When his more than 7,000 people hurried to the city of Tongguan, it was already evening. At this time, on Tongguan City, Xu Huang had just finished today's siege, and the guard Jiang Qi was directing his soldiers to clean up the rubble and corpses, preparing to deal with tomorrow.

"Xu Gongming, Lao Tzu is waiting for you in this Tongguan City, if you have the ability, fly up!" Looking at the piles of Cao Jun's corpses under the city, Jiang Qi's spirit was vivid. Xu Huang looked at Jiang Qi, who was a villain, although he didn't speak, but he was also quite unhappy in his heart.

"Big brother, we lost more than 800 people in the siege today!" Xu Gaiyu, the clan brother who counted the casualties on the side, reported, Xu Huang nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything, but he was a little helpless about the solidity of Tongguan in his heart. Although he only made a feint attack this way, but now Jiang Qi only used less than a quarter of his troops, making it difficult for him to move an inch here. Whoever changes this kind of thing will not be happy.

"General, the grain and grass have been escorted just now!" Just when Jiang Qi was proud, a personal soldier next to him came to report. When Jiang Qi heard this, he also went down to the city with some unfulfilled intentions, preparing to go to accept the inspection of grain and grass.

"The grain and grass transported this time should be enough for us to eat for half a month!" Jiang Qi looked at the city gate that was opening more and more, and muttered in his heart. But he soon realized that something was wrong, because after the city gate was opened, the other party did not push the cart in, but everyone untied their swords from their waists, and prepared for battle.

"What's going on, you, who are you?" Jiang Qi found that the situation was not right, and hurriedly asked. Just then he heard a terrifying voice:

"General Zhao Botao's partial general Wang Ping, the dog thief will be killed!"
