A few miles outside the pass, the iron cavalry was surging, but Guo Huai in the pass looked indifferent, as if the war had not spread to Hangu Pass, after entering the mansion, Guo Huai summoned a group of guards and colonels to arrange their own defense, so that the strategy of defending should be greatly changed compared with before.

Guo Huai only had a cursory look at Guan Yu's military horses, so he deployed the guards in the pass, and made frequent changes, which naturally made the guards in the pass who were already frightened in their hearts even more frightened. ”

"General Hui, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, famous all over the world." After Guo Huai waited for a group of soldiers to complain, he smiled and said: "That iron-armored war horse, can you climb the city wall?" ”

"The general should know that Guan Yu outside the city has been building siege equipment for days, once the city gate is lost, Hangu Pass will be broken! I only have thousands of foot soldiers and more than 100 crossbowmen in the pass, how can I block more than 10,000 iron horsemen outside the pass? The general should play the prime minister in the morning and send reinforcements! Another general complained again and again, Guo Huai frowned slightly when he heard this.

Glancing at the general colonel, Guo Huai looked solemn, and said with an indifferent smile: "If you ask for reinforcements, how can you show Guo's ability?" You can arrange according to Guo, guard the pass, if there is a bad pool, Guo will get along with Cheng to ask for guilt! ”

When he first arrived, Guo Huai gave the impression that the guards of Hangu Pass insisted on going their own way, which made a group of soldiers of Hangu Pass worried, but Guo Huai is now in charge of the letter of Hangu Pass, and no one in the army dared to disobey the order, so he had to bury all the grievances in his heart.

Until nightfall, the sound of the Xiliang Iron Riding outside the gate can still be heard in the museum. The sense of urgency of the approaching war made all the guards in Tongguan feel a haze in their hearts.

On Guo Huai's house, the lights were dim, and it was already three watches, but Guo Huai couldn't sleep.

What Pao Ze said before, asking for help from Cao Cao, is also an old saying. Why didn't Guo Huai want to have more soldiers in his hands? It's just that Xu Du's situation is known to Guo Huai. This time, Cao Cao gave him 3,000 military horses to come in the starry night, and he did his best.

Xu Du's military horses must strictly guard against changes in Runan, at such a critical moment. Guo Huai didn't want to put all the pressure on the prime minister's shoulders, so he insisted on going his own way before he was in the palace, wanting to strictly abide by the Hangu Pass and not seek rescue.

In Guo Huai's view, these more than 10,000 iron horsemen have captured Tongguan, although the momentum is victorious, but it is difficult to last, and Hangu Pass is a Xiongguan. How does the Iron Rider fly? If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei want to break through the pass, the only way is to break through the gate.

In this situation, Guo Huai simply evacuated all the crossbowmen at the head of the city. Only guard the gate, if it is closed, Zhang Junma climbs the city, even if he lets his soldiers all climb the city, what does it matter? It's a big deal to fight at the head of the city. To meet the enemy with the elite in the pass, but not afraid of the Xiliang foot, the Guan Zhang army, the sharpest, only the iron horse, as long as the iron horse can not play its advantage of coming and going like the wind, the more than 10,000 iron horsemen, just a decoration.

And the horses consume countless grains every day, Guo Huai does not think that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the military horses, but they can be consumed for a long time under the Hangu Pass, so Liu Bei is connected with the Qiang people, and the poor one almost sold his wife.

"I also want to let this Guan Yu become an iron horse, and defeat also an iron horse!" Guo Huai had a plan, muttered in his mouth, unconsciously, the sky outside the window was faint, Guo Huai summoned the soldiers to guide the way, and went to the gate, wanting to see how the military horses outside the gate attacked the city.

Guo Huai climbed the city and looked into the distance, and saw that the Xiliang military horses under the pass were very neat, and Guan Yu was in front of the army, and several vehicles had been arranged, and it seemed that this night time, it was to create a lot of siege equipment.

After a while, the drums rumbled, and Guan Yu rode again, went straight to the city, and pointed at Guo Huai and said: "This is the last chance that Guan Mou gave you!" ”

Guan Yu said, everyone around Guo Huai was intimidated by his momentum, Guo Huai saw this, snorted coldly, and said: "General Guan can come to attack, Guo also wants to see the general's methods!" ”…,

Seeing that Guo Huai was resolute, Guan Yu rode his horse back, and with the sound of the horn, there were more than 100 Qiang people, pushing the cart to the front of the city, several rushing carts, all before entering the city, Guan Yu saw that there were no arrows shooting down in the city, and he inevitably doubted in his heart, and muttered in his mouth: "This person is closed, and he is not defended?" ”

"That Cao Cao has long been unavailable, before the second brother, he was too jealous!" Seeing this, Zhang Fei laughed, but Guan Yu was noncommittal.

Guan Yu's understanding of Cao Cao is naturally much clearer than Zhang Fei's, the Central Plains is full of talents, how could Cao Cao send mediocre people to defend the city? Seeing that the chariot was approaching the city, the soldiers pushed the giant wood on the cart, and when they hit the city gate, the military horses outside the city were all staring with bated breath.

After only listening to a few muffled sounds, the gate of the Hangu Pass was closed as before, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were shocked when they saw this, but they heard Guo Huai laughing from afar in the city: "Xiliang soldiers, didn't you have breakfast?" Guo knew that you were short of food in Chang'an, but he never thought that this army would go on the expedition, but the soldiers would not be fed! ”

Hearing Guo Huai's arrogant voice, Zhang Fei was furious and said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, since there are no shooters in the city, I will lead the military horses of my headquarters to storm the city gate!" ”

"You can't break the door when you rush the car, what's the use of Yide going?" Guan Yu saw that the city gate was not moving, and he was shocked in his heart, and said to Zhang Fei: "Could it be that there is a problem with the rushing car that was built?" ”

Just when he was puzzled, Guan Yu saw several soldiers in front of the city gate, came quickly, came to Guan Yu, hugged his fists and bowed: "General, the Hangu gate has been poured with military horses and molten iron in the city!" ”

"What?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said to the soldier: "You mean that the molten iron seals the door?" The military horses in this city don't plan to come out of the door again in the future? ”

"It's decisive!" When Guan Yu heard this, he secretly praised it in his mouth, and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, don't worry, since the guards in this city have sealed the gate, we can also set up a ladder and climb the city wall!" ”

"The army is full of iron horses!" Zhang Fei said, Guan Yu couldn't help frowning.

Half of the army led by the two of them are Qiang people, if the Qiang people climb the city, first, it is not their expertise, and second, if the cavalry climbs the city, who will control the war horse in the future? For a while, Guan Yu was quite hesitant, and secretly scolded Guo Huai for being cunning in his heart!

Storming the city, but not a single soldier was injured, and the advance army and horses all returned, under Hangu Pass, as in the past, this siege battle in Guan Yu's eyes, but it was quite weird, thinking for a while, Guan Yu sighed lightly, and said to Zhang Fei: "Back to the army Tongguan, Guan wants to inform his brother of the situation of this Hangu Pass, the military advisor!" ”

"Back to the army?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't help but shout: "Second brother, my army is coming to the city, and I want to return to the army before I see the blood, which is too embarrassing!" ”

"Does that Yide have a plan to teach me?" Guan Yu said, Zhang Fei was stunned, this Guo Huai guarding the city, different from ordinary people, molten iron sealed the door, if you want to open the city gate again in the future, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed, thinking of this, Zhang Fei couldn't cry or laugh, and muttered: "This Hangu Guan guard is too single!" ”

Glancing at the closed Hangu door again, Guan Yu was quite hesitant in his heart.

Guan Yu had calculated before, if he occupied Hangu Pass this time, the grain and grass in the army would only be enough for the army to squander for three days, and this first time the troops were exchanged, Guo Huai closed the city gate, so that the road left for the more than 10,000 iron horsemen outside the city was only to climb the city, but tens of thousands of military horses and horses climbed the city wall together, and how many soldiers could safely climb the city? And Guan Yu now does not know that in the Hangu Pass, the soldiers are geometric, if Guo Huai is in the pass, there is a large army, I am afraid that the Xiongguan has not been obtained, and it will be calculated by others.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu sighed and said to Zhang Fei: "Let's go back to the army Tongguan and ask the military division, Guan has no way to break the Hangu gate sealed by molten iron!" ”

"Second brother, slow down!" When Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, do you remember the three plans set up by the military division in the past when he captured Chang'an?" ”…,

When Guan Yu heard this, he was stunned for a long time, then laughed, and said to Zhang Fei: "If Yide doesn't mention it, Guan will almost forget!" Although the gate of this Hangu Pass is sealed, we can dig tunnels and sneak into the pass! ”

Guan Yu said, then ordered the soldiers not to storm the city gate again, even the previous rush car, also all stayed in front of Hangu Pass, the city Cao will see the military horses outside the city, all retreat, all praise Guo Huai to deal with the law, so that the famous Guan Zhang two, helpless!

Guo Huai heard the praise from the left and right, his expression did not change, but he was also puzzled in his heart, with Guan, Zhang and the two of them had a previous fighting spirit, and they would not suffer this setback, so they collapsed, and from the head of the city to view the camp outside the city, the army and horses were neat, Guo Huai did not think that only a gate built of molten iron could let the pass, and Zhang and the two were willing to retreat.

Seeing Guo Huai frowning and silent, the generals didn't dare to say much, and now Guo Huai's response has convinced the generals of the guard, this first battle of defending the city, there is no loss in Hangu Pass, which has been unexpected by everyone!

Guo Huai stared at Guan Yu's Chinese army camp for a long time on the pass, saw that he did not move, frowned, and returned to the pass with a group of generals, while the camp outside the city, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei summoned the generals of the army, discussed in the tent, and discussed digging a road underground and entering the pass.

Although digging a road is more cumbersome than climbing the city, and the iron cavalry is useless, but Guan Zhang and the two of them think that as long as they act carefully, they can make more than 1,000 soldiers enter the pass, and if they attack it at night, it is enough to firmly control Hangu Pass, seize the pass, and then dismantle the city gate, which is far better than being helpless at the moment, much better.

The plan has been decided, Guan Yu ordered the school knife hand to dig the tunnel in the secret place in the camp, in order not to be snooped on by Guo Huai, even above the entrance of the tunnel, Guan Yu set up the camp to hide people's eyes.

Quietly digging for half a day, has dug out the tunnel for several miles, the craftsmen in the camp have a calculation, if they dig another day, they can dig the tunnel to Hangu Pass, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei got the craftsman to return, the two of them are happy.

There is already a way to enter the customs, Zhang Fei naturally will not let go of this good opportunity to make contributions, and said to Guan Yu with a hearty smile: "The previous siege was commanded by the second brother, but this time I entered the tunnel at night and entered the Hangu Pass, so I should let the younger brother make a contribution!" ”
