The tall Heng Mountain is on the left, the majestic Wutai Mountain is on the right, the altitude is above 1500 meters, and there is only a trench-like low land in the middle, which is the only passage to cross the mountains and enter the state. And in the middle of this lowland passage, there is a relatively high ground, and when the passage reaches him, it becomes a circular road.

The Pingxingling Heights are the roundabouts in the middle of the road.

Zhao Yun discussed it with Zhang Liao and thought that this would be the key to defeating Yuan's army.

So, Gao Yuanjun began to build here, and did not build a pass village for secrecy. But later Gao Yuan built the gate here, and at that time, this gate was as famous as the Yanmen Pass in the west, and people called it Pingxing Pass. Together with Yanmen Pass, the town guards and the interior of the state is separated from the grassland.

Zhao Yun and others built the Pingxingling defense line day and night, collected a large number of rolling stones and sassal wood, and also made some simple trebuchets. These sharp weapons will envelop the lowland passages below the Pingxing Ridge. When the Yuan army passed through here, it was bound to pay a great deal of casualties.

In order to be able to completely annihilate the enemy, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao boldly arranged, and when the news of the imminent arrival of the Yuan army came, the two each led a thousand cavalry to leave Pingxingguan.

A day later, in the early morning, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves echoed in the mountains, and 10,000 cavalry of Yuan's army came to the entrance of the trench-like lowland.

The leading general of the Yuan army is Chun Yuqiong, and there is a Gao Yuan army stationed in Yanmen Pass. It was necessary to attack to be able to open the passage, but it was inevitable that the news would lose the effect of the surprise attack, and he couldn't go, so he came here. He ordered the army to rest on the spot, but did not set up camp because he was to march quickly. This time I took a temporary break, and I just waited for the probe horse to enter the passage to investigate the situation.

Then, ten scouts galloped into the passage.

On the Pingxing Ridge, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were responsible for guarding here and blocking the Yuan army that came.

Looking at the dust that suddenly appeared in the passage in the distance, Zhou Cang's mood suddenly rose, and he said eagerly: "The enemy is coming, and the soldiers are ordered to hide carefully, and they must not let the enemy find out." ”

The arriving Tanma only took less than half an hour to go back and forth in the passage. These soldiers, who were born in the Great Plain of Jizhou, were dizzy when they saw the high mountains, and they were tired after climbing halfway up the mountain, so they went back to report the results after a little investigation.

"General, there is no enemy situation inside. The road is wide and smooth, and our army can cross it in half an hour. After crossing, it is the land of the plains. ”

Chun Yuqiong, who got the report, was overjoyed, and said to Tian Chou: "Gao Yuan has almost no troops in Bingzhou, and this surprise attack will definitely be a great success!" ”

Chun Yuqiong waved his army forward, and the 10,000 iron horsemen were like torrents, galloping in the mountains, making the mountains tremble.

When the Yuan army came to the foot of the Pingxing Ridge, Chun Yuqiong sighed that the heavens and the earth were magical, and he had already obtained the terrain from Tanma, so he ordered the army to be divided into two for rapid passage.

As a result, the torrent of 10,000 iron riders, as if encountering a boulder in the river, was in front of the Pingxing Ridge, diverging left and right. It is like two giant pythons, going hand in hand across the flat ridge.

The Yuan family rode forward with a ride, with a gap of less than half a meter in between, and ten thousand horsemen galloped one by one, with superb equestrianism and spectacular scenes, worthy of being an elite cavalry.

However, all of a sudden, the drums on the flat ridge were beating loudly. Immediately after, countless rolling stones and trees went down the ridge.

These boulders and trees that descend down the mountain are as powerful as cannonballs, and those who hit them on the head will surely become flesh and mud. And when it hit it in the side, the horse neighed and immediately fell to the ground, and the soldiers on the horse flew out with a scream. As a large number of soldiers were hit, the front army of Yuan's army was like being knocked with a slap in the face, and it suddenly stopped.

The front army of the Yuan family, which was attacked, immediately stopped their horses in a panic, but suddenly, one bite the other, and the whole cavalry of the Yuan army, which was marching like a big long worm, the middle army and the rear army did not have time to stop.

In the continuous crackling sound, one after another cavalry, one after the other, one collided with the other, although the total domino effect was not achieved, but the 10,000 people were also dizzy for a while.

"Oops!" Chun Yuqiong of the Chinese army, the war horse immediately rushed to the butt of a soldier in front. Due to inertia, Chun Yuqiong flew out, he only felt a violent collision, and when he woke up, he found that he was still on the horse.

Chun Yuqiong touched her chest and scratched her head again, not knowing what had just happened. And at this moment, the war horse under his crotch has been changed, and the original owner of this war horse has been knocked out by Chun Yuqiong, falling to the ground and constantly twitching his limbs.

It was only a third of a second, Chun Yuqiong relieved herself, her face changed and she screamed: "It's not good, it's ambushed!" ”

At this point, Chun Yuqiong's surprise attack was not completed, but it was counter-attacked.

At this time, Tian Chou, who was bleeding from his head, galloped over and shouted, "General, there are enemy troops on this ridge, how can we do it?" ”

The horses were all in a circle by themselves, and they also shouted: "Yes, how is it good?" ”

Tian Chou's heart throbbed, and his heart said that you are the main general, and you don't have that idea! He immediately said loudly: "General, how is it good?" ”

Chun Yuqiong also reversed his taste and shouted: "Don't pay attention, the whole army rushed out of the passage, rushed out of the passage first." ”

Tian Chou thought about it and made sense, this side was suddenly attacked, and staying was the end of being smashed. So, Chun Yuqiong's order was quickly issued. As the so-called military orders are like mountains, although they are facing the "rain of stones, forests and trees", the elite cavalry under the command of Yuan Jun immediately began to execute.

On the ridge.

Zhou Cang, who led the successful attack, grinned, "Smash, smash me!" As he spoke, he personally picked up a stone of more than 100 catties and threw it out, and after grunting down, he crashed into three or five horses.

The soldiers of the Gao Yuan Army threw rolling stones and sablets without money.

Under the ridge.

Many of the cavalry of the Yuan army who crossed the line of fire were stoned to death, wounded, or pulp. However, more Yuan cavalry successfully broke through the line of fire, and in the gallop of thousands of horses, the horse's hooves trampled the dead soldiers of their own side into pulp. For a while, smoke and red mist rose under the Pingxing Ridge, as if it was a lonely ghost. And the shredded flesh and blood splashed under the horse's hooves were like hell.

On the ridge, the morale of the soldiers of the Gaoyuan Army, which was smashed by the whole army, was high, and some were responsible for transporting and some were responsible for smashing. There are countless stones accumulated on the ridge for thousands of years, and there are too many of them, so you can pick them up and smash them out.

Pei Yuanshao shouted: "Don't stop, General Zhao and General Zhang should block the passage at this moment and smash all the enemies to death, don't stop, don't stop!" ”

Under the ridge.

Chun Yuqiong was very lucky, after being stoned to death by more than a dozen pro-soldiers next to him, he successfully crossed the line of fire. As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Tian Chou of the former army riding his horse. This famous Hebei general who later generations had meritorious service in pacifying Karasuma and was named the Marquis of Ting, had the heart to die at this moment, and shouted in the chaotic army: "General, something is wrong, Zhang Wenyuan led the cavalry to block the exit!" ”

"Zhang Liao!" Chun Yuqiong trembled all over, but he immediately made a decision, saying that this surprise attack was a failure, so he quickly retreated, so he exclaimed: "The rear team changes to the front team, retreat from the entrance, retreat!" ”

Under his orders, Yuan's army had to cross the line of fire again.

On the ridge.

"Smash!"

"Everyone's smashing!" The soldiers did not have to engage the enemy at all, and they killed and wounded the enemy on a large scale, and the one who smashed it was a great pleasure.

Under the ridge. Chun Yuqiong was very lucky, he arranged for more than a dozen riders to be around him as substitutes for the dead ghosts, so he crossed the line of fire safely. As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a herald of the rear army riding his horse and screamed: "General, the big thing is not expected, the enemy Zhao Zilong led the cavalry to block the entrance!" ”

"Ahh Chun Yuqiong was immediately dumbfounded, it is said that this Zhao Zilong is more fierce than Zhang Wenyuan, which makes him dare not face it.

On the ridge.

Zhou Cang said excitedly: "The military advisor is clever, smash it hard!" ”

Pei Yuanshao also rose to kill, "General Zhao and General Zhang chose this place right, and smashed it with all their might." ”

Under the ridge.

Although the soldiers of the Yuan army continued to dodge, they continued to suffer casualties, and more than 2,000 people had been stoned to death.

"Breakout, breakout!" The continuous offensive on the ridge made Chun Yuqiong have to make a quick decision.

However, Tian Chou had other thoughts, and said: "The general can't blindly break through!" ”

After Tian Chou's analysis, Chun Yuqiong also knew that breaking through the mountain road would definitely consume a lot of time. And the nearly 10,000 soldiers on this side could not occupy only such a small place. It is very likely that before the breakthrough is successful, the rear army will be stoned to death, and the enemy will encircle again, and the whole army of this side will be annihilated.

"What then!" Faced with the possibility of annihilation of the whole army, Chun Yuqiong panicked.

Tian Chou was worthy of being the general who guided Cao Cao to defeat Karasuma, but in the midst of the chaos, he began to observe the situation on the Pingxing Ridge. said: "The enemy just blocked the passage and did not advance, obviously, the number of enemy troops will not be too much. The general can wave his army to capture this ridge, appease the army, and then find a way to break through. ”

After Chun Yuqiong heard this, his eyes were red wide, and he pointed to the mountains under the falling rocks, and shouted: "You told me to attack the mountain, isn't this going to die openly?" ”

Tian Chou hurriedly said: "The general takes a closer look, the density of rockfalls on the mountain is not as dense as before, and looking at the scale of the rockfall covering, there must not be many enemies on the mountain." ”

Chun Yuqiong took a closer look, and sure enough, as Tian Chou said, the mountains are not throwing stones on all sides, but there are key points. And, with the passage of time, the density of rolling stone sassals has become much less than before.

It turns out that manpower is exhausted, and dozens of catties and hundreds of catties of things are constantly thrown, even Hercules can't withstand it.

Chun Yuqiong was overjoyed, and immediately began to command the army to attack Pingxingling.
