When Zhao Yun led 20,000 Shenxi troops to cross the Yellow River north, the situation in Hanoi was already very tense and critical.

After Yuan Shao swallowed Hedong, according to the previous plan of the military advisor Tian Feng, he sent troops from the three directions of Hedong, Shangdang and Wei County, preparing to deal with Zhang Yang in Hanoi before the spring of the next year.

Zhang Yang heeded the advice of Luoyang, abandoned the practice of all-round defense, retreated his limited forces to the south of Qinshui, and took Yixian, Boxian, Yewang, Zhouxian and Huaixian as strongholds, Qinshui as a barrier, and backed by the Yellow River to defend. Zhang Yang put together a piecemeal, and there were only 20,000 horses under his command, and the only generals who could barely get their hands were Yang Chou and Zheng Gu, if they dispersed their forces to defend the entire territory of Hanoi, maybe they would have been completely defeated by now. Fortunately, Zhang Yang is still self-aware and knows that what he can rely on now is Luoyang, so he listened to Luoyang's suggestions and did not take it for granted.

Among the Yuan Shao troops besieging Hanoi on three routes, the smallest number of troops was Han Mengbu, who went south from Shangdang, with only 10,000 men, and entered Kwai City through Taihang Cheng, with the purpose of confusing Zhang Yang and attracting a part of the troops. The slightly larger number of troops was the Gaolan Division, which had entered Hanoi from Wei County, with a force of about 20,000 troops, and now it had captured Linxi, Dangyin, Chaoge, Gong County, and Ji County, and was steadily advancing in the direction of Hanoi Zhisuo Huai County. The largest number of troops were the two groups of men and horses from Hedong, Lu Yi and Wenchou, with a total of 40,000. Yuan Shao himself and the Chinese army he directly led remained in Anyi, the administrative office of Hedong, while Yan Liang's soldiers and horses were stationed near Leishou Mountain, while monitoring Li Wei's subordinates in Zuo Fengyi's territory and the Luoyang garrison near Shaanxi County.

There is a pass at the junction of Hedong and Hanoi, called Kei Pass, which is the eastern gateway of Hedong into and out of Hanoi, and it is just stuck at the east end of Yiguan. At the beginning, after Liu He led the Youzhou cavalry to cross the Yellow River north from the Mengjin Ferry, he entered the Yiguan more than 100 miles deep from Jiguan. Then it appears in the east of the river from the direction of Jiangyi. At that time, it was still Duan Xuan who controlled Hedong County, and Liu He could smoothly borrow the road, but now Hedong fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, and the western exit of Yiguan was naturally controlled by Yuan Shao. Since Liu He was able to go north from Yiguan to Merge Prefecture, and Yuan Shao conquered from the direction of Bingzhou to the south, of course, he would not forget to attack Hedong from Yiguan.

Yiguan is so important, guarding the exit of the east end of Yiguan is even more prominent, some time ago Zhao Yun and Li Yan also had a headache for who to send to guard the pass, and later Jia Kui recommended Zhang Miao's trilogy Dian Wei, Zhao Yun personally passed the test. Soon after, Dian Wei was sent to Keiguan and became the general guarding the pass here.

Dian Wei looks stout and dull on the outside, but in fact he is brave and strategic, not the kind of person with developed limbs and a simple mind. After he arrived at Keiguan, he immediately led people to conduct a careful survey of the terrain inside and outside Kei Pass, and then mobilized the soldiers in the pass to seize the time to strengthen the wall and the urn city, and stored a large number of wooden rolling stones in the pass.

Some of the soldiers guarding the pass like to bully people, and they are not very convinced by Dian Wei, the foreign leader, and Dian Wei does not rely on his position to press down these people. Instead, he gathered all the soldiers and the middle and lower rank officers, and then challenged everyone to resign from the post of head as soon as anyone could survive ten moves under his men. Leave Kemonoseki.

Dian Wei's approach completely aroused the competitive spirit of the generals in the Guannai, and many thorns jumped out to compete with Dian Wei, and the strongest one held up eight moves under Dian Wei, and many people couldn't even catch three moves. Since ancient times, the army has respected the strong. In the place of worshipping power, Dian Wei quickly won the obedience and support of the two thousand soldiers in the Guannai by virtue of his martial arts and courage far beyond ordinary people.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it had been two months since Dian Wei came to Jiguan, and on this day he was organizing soldiers to conduct stone-throwing training in the pass, when he suddenly received an urgent report from the soldiers who were hiding in Yiguan and were in charge of reconnaissance and lookout, saying that they had found a large group of soldiers and horses approaching Jiguan from the valley road in the west. Dian Wei immediately stopped training and let the soldiers enter their respective defensive posts, while he himself put on heavy armor and stood in the most conspicuous position at the top of the wall.

"Brothers, Dian will not say anything big, but he knows a truth, what we eat and wear on weekdays is provided to us by the old folks in Hanoi, and now Yuan Shao, who occupies Hedong, is not satisfied, and wants to send troops to occupy Hanoi, if we can't hold the Kei Pass, tens of thousands of soldiers of tigers and wolves from Bingzhou have entered Hanoi, how can the people of Hanoi have a way to live? For the sake of the people of Hanoi, Dian is willing to live and die with Keiguan, I wonder if you are willing to defend this pass with you? ”

"I am willing to guard the Kei Pass with the Captain of the Guard!"

"I am a native of Wen County, Hanoi, and I will never let Yuan Jun pass through the Kei Pass to harm my hometown father!"

"As long as Captain Diandu doesn't leave, we will never leave!"

Although there were only 2,000 defenders in Keiguan, most of the soldiers were children of Hanoi, and at this time they were encouraged by Dian Wei, and they were all eager to fight, and they were not afraid of the coming fierce battle.

Thirty miles west of Keiguan, in an open valley in Yiguan, Wen Chou set up a marching tent here as the vanguard of the attack on Hanoi, and Wen Chou was frowning at this time listening to the report of his henchman Hao Zhao.

"General, thirty miles east of the front, is to enter the throat pass of Hanoi Haoliang, this pass is built according to the Wangwu Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, has always been the only place for Hedong to enter Hanoi, if you want to take it quickly, I am afraid that it is not easy."

"Have you ever found out who the generals are guarding the pass?"

"The sentinel has just reported that the leader of the Kei Pass is named Dian Wei, who doesn't seem to have any reputation, and he was suddenly transferred to the pass two months ago as the captain of the guard."

"How many Hanoi soldiers are stationed in Keiguan?"

"Back to the general's words, because the Guancheng of Keiguan is built on the mountain, the inside is not spacious, and at most two thousand troops can be stationed."

"Well, but it's not too much trouble for a mere 2,000 soldiers. Bodao (Hao Zhaozi), I'll allocate 5,000 infantry to you, and I'll go and take this pass tomorrow, how about it? ”

Wen Chou has always relied on Hao Zhao, and this time he assigned 5,000 infantry to Hao Zhao and let Hao Zhao take the lead, obviously wanting Hao Zhao to make contributions, so that Yuan Shao could be promoted and reused in the future.

Hao Zhao was faintly uneasy in his heart, but it was not good to refuse Wen Chou's order in public, so he had to grit his teeth and take over the task.

The next day, Hao Zhao took the lead and approached under the Kei Pass with 5,000 infantry. Hao Zhao sent a bold soldier to the bottom of the wall, and then shouted to the defenders of the pass at the top of his voice: "Brothers on the pass, listen, we are the vanguard of the left army under the command of the general Yuan Benchu, and now we are ordered by the general of the cavalry to pass through the Kei Pass and enter Hanoi to crusade against the traitor Zhang Yang who is secretly colluding with the Black Mountain bandits. Our army has 50,000 people, and the total number of soldiers guarding the pass is only 2,000, if you don't open the gate to let the army pass at this time, your life will definitely be difficult to protect! ”

After Dian Wei waited for the soldier to finish shouting, he also replied at the top of his voice: "Well, close down the birds who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and if you say a word more, you will be smashed into a meatloaf in the New Year!" Why don't you hurry back inside, and let someone who can talk come to see me! ”

The soldiers sent by Hao Zhao to shout could see clearly, the defenders on the wall had already prepared the rolling stones, if he dared to say more at this time, he was afraid that he would be saved by the rolling boulder into a meatloaf in an instant, anyway, the task assigned by Hao Zhao had been completed, so he hurriedly withdrew and ran to Hao Zhao to bring back Dian Wei's original words.

Hao Zhao originally did not expect to scare away the Hanoi soldiers guarding the pass with just a few big words, and the reason why he sent this bold soldier to run to the pass and shout was to hit the morale of the soldiers guarding the pass, and secondly, to test the temperament of the generals guarding the pass. If Dian Wei ordered the soldier to be shot to death or stoned to death without saying anything, it would mean that Dian Wei was short-tempered and irritable and could not withstand anger, so Hao Zhao would find it easier to deal with. However, to Hao Zhao's disappointment, the chief general guarding the pass not only did not order the soldiers who came to shout, but instead asked him to bring the message back, which shows that the general guarding the pass is not only calm and calm, but also very confident.

Hao Zhao sent people to threaten the soldiers guarding the pass, but he did not respond to Dian Wei's request to stand up and talk to Dian Wei, but immediately ordered the soldiers to launch a tentative attack on Keiguan.

Dian Wei looked at the thousands of Yuan soldiers slowly approaching under the pass, knowing that this was just a tentative attack, he ordered the soldiers at the pass to defend and counterattack with only five hundred people, while the rest of the soldiers hid in the Tibetan corridor to rest for a while, waiting for orders.

A thousand soldiers of the Yuan army held large shields and wooden cards to cover their bodies, and finally entered the attack range of the defenders of Guanshang, but Dian Wei did not immediately give the order to attack.

"Everyone, don't panic, wait for Yuan Jun to stick to the wall and then throw stones down and push the wood. When you can make a move, don't lean out of the female wall battlement and look down, so as not to be injured by the arrows fired by Yuan Jun under the city! ”

Gradually, the soldiers of the Yuan army came to the bottom of the wall, some of them had begun to lean the long ladder against the wall, and some were gearing up to climb the ladder to the wall.

"Ready, stone-throwing!"

"Rolling logs!"

"Pour fire oil!"

"Drop the rocket!"

……

The head of the city, Dian Wei, gave orders in an orderly manner, and the soldiers pushed the rolling stones and sassalwood off the wall one after another in accordance with the essentials of the usual training, and immediately killed and injured a large number of Yuan troops gathered under the city.

The tentative attack did not last long, and when Hao Zhao saw that the troops guarding the pass were defending in an orderly manner, he immediately ordered the remnants of the troops who were responsible for the attack to retreat.

"Is the casualty count out?"

"Returning to Captain Haodu, the first round of attack on our side sent a thousand soldiers, three hundred and twenty-three people were killed, two hundred and ten were seriously wounded, and one hundred and forty-five were lightly wounded."

When Hao Zhao heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said to himself: It has only been less than half an hour, and the first group of troops attacking the city has suffered more than half of the casualties. (To be continued......)
