Mengjing heard Wei Zilian tell him that Xiyu Pass had been broken by Daewoo, and he almost couldn't believe his ears, but seeing the worried eyes of King Heng Duguling and the ministers, he knew that this matter must be true, he knew that Daewoo had been eyeing Xiyu Pass, but Xiyu Pass was lost so quickly, it was still greatly unexpected by him.

"Is Wuning City also lost?" Xiyu Pass and Wu Ning are dependent on each other, Xiyu Pass is surrounded, Wu Ning will inevitably save each other, at this time Xiyu Pass has been broken, Wu Ning is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

"This urgent military report on the fall of Xiyuguan was sent by Wuning Taishou two days ago, and Han Taishou said that he had asked for help from the five cities in the southwest at the same time, and the soldiers in Wuning City were well fed, and he had decided to hold out, and he was confident to wait for the reinforcements of the five cities in the southwest, and at the same time asked the imperial court to make a decision as soon as possible." Wei Zilian explained.

"Xiyu Pass was besieged, didn't Wu Ning send reinforcements?" Mengjing heard that Wu Ning's soldiers were well fed, obviously they had not experienced the war yet, and they had clearly arranged it properly, how could Han Yang, who was too guarded, not save Xiyu Guan when he saw death?

"The general didn't know anything, but in just one night, Xiyu Pass was lost, and Wu Ning didn't have time to rescue at all." Wei Zilian sighed.

"What?!" Mengjing said violently again.

Three days ago, the Daewoo military camp was 100 miles away from Xiyu Pass.

"Zhang Mu, according to the report of the spies in Xiyu Pass, Xiyu Pass has been recast, Mengjing is worthy of Mengjing, personnel arrangement, scheduling, are very orderly, can you be sure?" Li Fei said worriedly.

"What, you can't trust me?" Zhang Mu held the saber in his waist in his left hand and said with a faint smile.

"Zhang Mu, I, Li Fei, am an old man, I speak straight, I can't turn around, in the entire territory of Daewoo, except for the king, what I admire the most is you, if I can't trust you, how can I openly oppose Ning Tao in the court, and I will do it with you." Li Fei said unhappily.

"The art of war cloud, 'The love of the soldier is the main speed, take advantage of the lack of people, and attack it without stopping it.'" The way to use troops is to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to take the path that the enemy does not expect, and attack the enemy's unguarded places. As long as we do a good job in these four points, Xiyu Pass will be broken tonight. Zhang Mu knew Li Fei's personality very well, and he didn't feel sorry at all, and replied with a smile, his language was relaxed, but it revealed confidence and firmness.

"Haha, Zhang Mu, Lao Tzu likes to see your confident and invincible expression the most." Li Fei laughed.

"Before Mengjing recast Xiyu Pass, I had already sent three elites of 100 people to infiltrate Xiyu Pass in the name of a caravan, after all, we have not directly torn our faces with Daheng, Daheng will not prohibit normal business travel between the two countries, Tian Wu is suspicious, I let most of the 300 people wander in Wuning and the five cities in the southwest, and do not stay in Xiyu Pass at all, Mengjing is cautious, I only sent a hundred-person team during his recasting Xiyu Pass, and the last hundred-person team was sent out five days ago, with these 500 elites in Xiyu Pass to set fire to the momentum, It is enough to disrupt the overall defense of Xiyu Pass. Zhang Mu is confident.

"Tell the general that the 50,000 army has been assembled, and the 5,000 captains are listening to the order in front of the tent, please give the general a lecture."

"Zhang Mu, although I am nominally the main general, this battle is planned by you, and you should come to this pre-war mobilization."

"Okay, then I'll do it!" Zhang Mu did not shirk and responded arrogantly.

"The soldiers of Daewoo, the hot-blooded men of Daewoo, it's been a hundred years, it's been a hundred years!" Zhang Mu shouted excitedly, "A hundred years of troubled times, how unfortunate we are, we have to experience the pain of displacement since childhood, a hundred years of troubled times, how fortunate we are, because we have witnessed this great era, created this great era!" Tonight, we want Daheng to see the pride of our Daewoo boys, and at the same time, we also want to announce to the four states and ten prefectures, chasing the Central Plains, giving up Daewoo and whom, Xiyu Guanpo, just tonight!! ”

"Xiyu is broken, !! tonight" The army was obviously ignited by Zhang Mu's words, and they were all in high spirits.

"Send the order, and the army will set out at once, tie the prepared branches to the tail of the horse, and raise dust at that time, so as to strengthen the momentum." Zhang Mu instructed the former general Lu Zhongming.

"General, Xiyu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although we have 50,000 soldiers and horses, but it is all cavalry, even the ladder, the siege vehicle does not bring, although the marching speed is fast, it is really not conducive to the siege, if Xiyu Pass can not open the gate on time, the 50,000 army will become a live target." General Guo Dingyu said worriedly.

Zhang Mu looked around at the generals, and everyone was the same as Guo Dingyu, with worries written on their faces.

"Haha," Zhang Mu smiled freely, "Generals, please rest assured, I have arranged in advance for 5,000 elite soldiers to ambush in Xiyu Pass, and when our army arrives at Xiyu Pass, Xiyu Pass will be in chaos." In order to give courage to the generals, Zhang Mu deliberately said ten times more people, and sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and their faces were a lot more relaxed.

"General Suzaku is clever, I don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Therefore, the most important thing in this march is timing, the march must be fast, and Xiyu Pass must not be prepared, but it must be punctual, ugly and punctual to attack the city, and cooperate with the ambush in Guanzhong, not too early, nor too late." Zhang Mu is colorful.

"General, general, Daewoo's army is less than three miles away from Xiyu Pass, and it will be down while talking." Tian Wu had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the deputy general Shen Ming, and his voice was full of panic.

"What, why did the Daewoo army come to report when they arrived in the city, what did the scouts eat?!" Tian Wu was shocked and angry.

"General, the scouts are here to report, the Daewoo army is all cavalry, and the marching speed is so fast, there is no time to report it."

"Cavalry? It's not a plain battle, why did Daewoo send so many cavalry for? When Tian Wu heard this, he was a little relieved in his heart, "Cloud ladder, don't you have siege vehicles?" ”

"Presumably not, otherwise the speed of the army would not be so fast."

"How many people are there on the other side?" Tian Wu had calmed down at the moment.

"Judging from the momentum, there are 200,000 to say the least."

"Hmph, there are a lot of people here, but it's a fool's dream to use cavalry to break through my Xiyu Pass, even if they dismount and fight on foot, there are no ladders, no siege equipment, 200,000 troops, as long as they can't enter Xiyu Pass, they are not to be afraid, but they are just our live targets." Tian Wu snorted coldly.

"Inform the three armies, follow me to meet the enemy! Tell someone to hurry up to Wuning and ask Han Taishou to send troops to help. ”

"General, the Daewoo soldiers have already entered Xiyu Pass!" The soldier's face was blackened by the smoke and fire, and he reported to Tian Wu in a panic.

"Nonsense, how dare you mess with our army's heart here?" Tian Wu was taken aback a lot, he didn't believe it when he was killed, the huge Xiyu Pass was broken in the blink of an eye? Could it be that Daewoo's soldiers will not be able to fly?

"General, yes, it's true, at this moment, the fire in the gate is soaring, the shouts of killing are continuous, the soldiers are caught off guard, and they are already in a mess, general, go and take a look." When the catastrophe came, seeing that Tian Wu didn't believe it, the soldiers who reported it were about to cry.

As he spoke, Tian Takeshi also faintly heard the continuous shouting and killing of the gate in the room, the stakes were very high, he knew that the soldiers who reported it could not talk nonsense on this matter, but he couldn't understand how Xiyu Pass was broken in this silence anyway.

"Let's go, go out with me and see how it's going." Tian Wu kept telling himself to be more calm at this time, hurriedly put on his clothes, and beckoned the deputy general to go out with him.

As soon as Tian Wugang went out, he saw that the fire in the pass was soaring, and the Daewoo soldiers who fought with the soldiers in the pass were not as many as he imagined, but the dress was very mixed, there was no unified dress, it was a civilian dress, but all of them were strong in martial arts, and many places in the pass were very narrow, although there were many guards in the Xiyu Pass, the bows and arrows could not be used, and there were fires everywhere, and many places were shouting, "The Xiyu Pass has been broken, the soldiers in the pass surrendered quickly, and Daewoo does not kill the surrendered troops." "It makes people panic, so although Daewoo soldiers are few, they are not left behind.

Tian Wu saw the chaos in Guanzhong, Xiyuguan lost it so incomprehensibly, but he didn't even know the reason, he was really ashamed of Mengjing, ashamed of Daheng, pulled out his sword, and shouted loudly, "Soldiers, Xiyu Pass is my Daheng portal, for Daheng, for the sake of family, we all live and die together with Xiyuguan!" Kill!! Ignoring everyone's obstruction, he took the lead and rushed into the crowd.

Tian Wu's addition greatly boosted the spirits of the defenders of Xiyu Pass, and they also reacted from the initial unpreparedness, plus the defenders of Xiyu Pass were already crowded, and the battle situation immediately began to reverse. Gradually, the shouting and killing sound in the pass began to become smaller, and began to move towards the pass, and then thinking of the uneven weapons and clothes of these Daewoo soldiers, Tian Wu suddenly reacted, knowing that he had been tricked, and hurriedly greeted the general person, "All the generals obey the order, all the guards will strictly guard their defensive posts according to the deployment, and the rest of the personnel will follow me to block the gate of Xiyu Pass, and the soldiers who can't magnify Yu come in." ”

Tian Wu scolded himself for being confused, and was disrupted by a small number of elites in Daewoo, these people must have been lurking in the pass or other cities before, usually in order not to attract attention, so they will not dress uniformly, and the weapons may even be purchased in batches in Daheng, he didn't even notice it, thinking of Mengjing's instructions to himself before leaving, Tian Wu regretted it, if Xiyu Pass was really lost, he would not be able to escape the blame.

When Tian Wu arrived at the pass, the gate of Xiyu Pass had been opened, and all Daewoo's regular troops had poured into the pass like a tide, Tian Wu sighed in his heart, knowing that the general trend had gone, and the fall of Xiyu Pass was only a matter of time, he hurriedly dragged Shen Ming aside and ordered, "You personally rush to Wuning, inform Han Taishou, and say that Xiyu Pass has been lost, and there is no need to rush to the rescue." ”

"General!!" Shen Ming saw that Tian Wu had given such an order, and he also knew that Xiyu Guan had returned to heaven and had no skills, and Tian Wu definitely planned to live and die with Xiyu Guan.

"Remember, you must tell Han Taishou that there may be Daewoo's soldiers lurking in Wuning City, you must investigate thoroughly, and at the same time, no matter how the enemy instigates, you must stick to it, wait for rescue, don't go out of the city and fight with them, remember, remember!" Tian Wu said miserably.

"General, I will call someone to inform Han Taishou, and I will also live and die with Xiyuguan!" Shen Ming couldn't bear to leave Tian Wu, and at the same time, Xiyu Guan lost his nest, and he was also bent on death, so he replied angrily.

"Shen Ming, Xiyu Guan is already in danger, Wu Ning must not have any mistakes, otherwise my Tian Wu will die, and he will die blindly, now is the critical moment, you have to distinguish the importance of the matter, and you can't act rashly!" Tian Wu shouted and scolded.

"Yes, General, Shen Ming received the order and promised to complete the task," Shen Ming was stopped by Tian Wu's roar, knowing that Tian Wu had made up his mind, his eyes were red, and he answered in a loud voice.

"Good brother." Tian Wu patted Shen Ming with relief, turned around and ran towards the enemy army.

"The defenders of Xiyu Pass listen, Xiyu Pass has been broken, surrender early, don't want to make senseless resistance again, I Zhang Mu promise, I will definitely treat you well." Zhang Mu stood on the city wall and shouted, hoping to recruit the enemy army.

At this time, more than an hour has passed in this offensive and defensive battle, and its tragedy has made Zhang Mu unexpected, in the case that the fall of Xiyu Pass has become a fact, the defenders of Xiyu Pass have become more and more courageous, and they have no idea of giving up at all.

"Zhang Muxiao'er, listen to me, I only have heroes who died in battle, and there are no cowards who surrendered, we will swear to live and die with Xiyuguan, brothers, kill me !!" Tian Wu was already determined to die, and at this time, he was killing and roaring.

"Kill !!" The entire Xiyu Pass erupted in deafening shouts.

Zhang Mu sighed, it seems that if you don't kill every soldier in Xiyu Pass, don't think about completely occupying Xiyu Pass.

This battle lasted from the ugly time to the white in the east, the blood stained almost every inch of land in the pass, the 30,000 defenders of Xiyu Pass, except for Shen Ming, who rushed to report the news, none of them survived, Tian Wu was stabbed several times, and died of exhaustion, and although Daewoo took Xiyu Pass, the price was also very tragic, not only the five hundred elites who sneaked into the pass were all killed, but the army also lost more than 30,000 people, and Daheng broke out with such an amazing combat power under such a disadvantage, which was also unexpected by Zhang Mu, With such a strong fighting ability, Daheng will inevitably bring great resistance to Daewoo in the next battlefield.

"Has the follow-up 50,000 troops arrived?" Zhang Mu knew that it was not time to relax.

"It's already here, and I let the army wait for orders outside Xiyu Pass." After fighting all night, Li Fei was also very tired.

"Okay, then the notice will go down, speed up the cleaning of the battlefield in the pass, 50,000 infantry and 20,000 will camp outside the pass, and 30,000 will be deployed immediately with me."

"General, the military report from the front, Daheng's reinforcements seem to have received the news that Xiyu Pass has been broken, and they have not come to the rescue." Former General Lu Dingming reported.

"Oh, this Tian Wu is not simple, he can still make such a decisive decision at such a panicked moment." Zhang Mu was a little surprised, he originally wanted to eliminate Wuning's reinforcements in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the situation to capture Wuning, but now it seems that there will be some twists and turns if he wants to take Wuning.

Mengjing listened to Wei Zilian talk about the situation in Xiyu Pass, Tian Wu died in battle, and he was also very self-blaming in his heart, Daewoo had already lurked in the territory of Daheng, and he didn't notice it at all, and at the same time admired Zhang Mu even more, this person used soldiers eclecticly, and seemed to be in danger, but in fact, he was confident, and he was able to use soldiers, and he was afraid that he was not under himself.

"So, Han Taishou is going to stick to and wait for rescue?" Although Xiyu Pass is broken, fortunately, Wuning City is not lost, which is the only consolation.

"Han Taishou really plans to hold on, what does the general think." Wei Zilian asked.

"Sticking is the right thing to do, the 50,000 soldiers in Wuning City, in addition to the original 10,000 defenders, the other 40,000 were brought over when I recast Xiyu Pass, at that time all the layout was on Xiyu Pass, and the army brought with me were infantry, these soldiers have experience in defending the city, although Xiyu Pass was lost, but Daewoo fought deep into the territory of my Daheng after all, and the supply of the army is a problem, as long as Han Taishou can hold it for three days, and wait for the reinforcements from the five cities in the southwest, Daewoo will retreat." Mengjing calmly analyzed, but thinking that it was Zhang Mu of Daewoo who led the troops, Mengjing couldn't help but be a little worried, this person did not use the troops according to common sense, and the guards must adapt according to the battlefield situation.

"The general's words are reasonable, so please ask Wang Shangzao to make a decision and send someone to rescue Wuning." Wei Zilian turned to Heng Wang Dugu Lingdao.

"Although Wuning City is trapped, there are still 50,000 elite soldiers and reinforcements from the five cities in the southwest, the Three Kingdoms Alliance was defeated before, and what Gu is worried about now is Xihua and Zhao Guo in the east, as well as Guyou and Beiliang in the north, and now that Daewoo has broken through Xiyu Pass, will they join forces to attack my Daheng again?" King Heng expressed his worries.

"The king is wise, the three kingdoms have ill intentions, and the ministers think that they must be guarded against." King Heng said the key to this battle, and everyone in the court also thought about it, and they all felt a chill down their backs.

"The king can rest assured, the minister thinks that as long as the arrangements are made, Zhao Guo and the second government will not dare to act rashly." Wei Zilian had obviously thought about the connection a long time ago, and patted his chest and said.

"Oh, what does the prime minister think, you can come quickly." King Heng saw that Wei Zilian was confident, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, Zhao has just been defeated, and has just negotiated peace with our country, and in the case of unclear circumstances, he will not want to easily friction with my Daheng, and there are 150,000 elite soldiers in the east, as long as the general goes to the east to sit in town, Zhao will not dare to act rashly; If we easily invade our borders, once Daewoo retreats, they will inevitably become the target of the public, so the ministers will inevitably make it possible for them to take advantage of the fire and rob when the war situation is greatly unfavorable to our Daheng, and they will not dare to provoke us too early; And Xihua did not join forces with Daewoo in this battle, and it was very likely that he planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so the minister thought that as long as he held Wuning and forced Daewoo back, it would be difficult to encircle. ”

"The prime minister's words are reasonable, what do you think?" After listening to Wei Zilian's words, King Heng felt a little relieved. "What does the Admiral think?" King Heng did not wait for the ministers to respond, and asked Mengjing alone, firstly, he valued Mengjing's views very much, and secondly, he knew that Mengjing had lost his beloved son, and had just returned to Heng'an yesterday.

"The prime minister's words are reasonable, and Mengjing is willing to go to the east." Mengjing originally did things with a clear distinction between public and private, and he also deeply blamed himself for the fall of Xiyuguan, although he felt sorry for his youngest son Meng Guyun and his wife Lin Qin in his heart, but he still did not hesitate at all, but he actually wanted to go to Wuning to meet Zhang Mu in person, but Wei Zilian's analysis was reasonable, and he was indeed the best choice to sit in the east, so there was no doubt about it.

"Okay, then please ask the general to work hard and rush to the east on the same day, Wuning City is in danger, who wants to go?" King Heng saw that Mengjing took the initiative to ask for help, and he was comforted in his heart.

"The minister is willing to go to Wuning, and he will meet that Zhang Mu for a while." A high-pitched voice replied.
