...

In 196 A.D., the battle of Hangu Pass, which lasted for nearly a year, was praised by later generations:

Lao Tzu went out of the customs to pass on morality, and Lin Lidong entered to break Cao Cao. Vertex updates are the fastest

Three thousand mantras will be left for eternity, and one will be successful for all generations.

...

However, at this time, under the Hangu Pass, I saw two long dragons entrenched and probing, and the camp cloth in the camp at the tail of the dragon was stained with many mud spots due to the rain for days, and the dirty and dilapidated cotton robes on the bloody soldiers on the front line at this moment.

"Knock down the ladder, don't let them come up! Brothers, the thieves have been attacking the city for days, and it is the end of the crossbow, as long as we hold on for a few more days, the main reinforcements will be able to rush... Not! ”

A general of Cao Ying is red-eyed and hoarse in his voice constantly encouraging the soldiers around him to swing a knife to kill the enemy, the arrow rain covers the sun, and the shouting of killing shakes the sky, Leng Buding is poked to death by a simple knife from under the wall, but just after that, before the pawn jumped to take the first credit, the reserve Cao army in the city has already swarmed up, knocked down the ladder three or two times, raised his hand and poured boiling oil, and then listened to the "Zizi" scorching sound where the oil fell, and then the wail sounded, and countless soldiers were killed and burned.

Chang'an east expedition to Hangu Pass, with Xu Huang and Gan Ning two generals each led a one, one left and one right column under the pass, such as ants climbing the big tree and constantly erecting a ladder to attack, but often do not wait for the soldiers to touch the wall, they were ruthlessly pushed down, and the casualties were heavy but not an inch was allowed to enter.

After repeating like this, the Cao army defending the city was exhausted, but the Chang'an army was already panicked and demoralized.

In front of Lin Lijun's left side, Gan Ning looked at the soldiers falling like raindrops, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists with hatred, he took off the cloak behind him and threw it on the ground, and said bitterly:

"If you go on like this, it's just a sacrifice of soldiers in vain, come here, take my halberd, and go to battle in person!"

Gan Ning is a thief on the river, and when he is crisscrossing with his brothers, he pays attention to righteousness and thin clouds, although he is now from Lin Li, but as always, he is willing to treat the soldiers as brothers, how can he sit back and watch the senseless sacrifice.

But before his attendant could take the halberd, a square-faced general hurriedly stood up and said:

"General, no! Now that the battle situation is chaotic, the general should guard the battle formation, beware of Cao thieves going out of the city to raid, and must not be rash, so that Cao thieves can find an opportunity! ”

This person's voice was thick and earnest, Gan Ning saw him speak, immediately choked, and said in a deep voice:

"Han De, you have said this hundreds of times, you have been waiting for so long, but now what you see is all the elite losses under my account, how can Cao Jun have the shadow of a sneak attack when he opens the door? You step aside, you have your own plans! Where are the left and right, why don't you go and get the halberd! ”

Han De is not a clever person, he is different from Gan Ning, he has been in the army for many years, he has been a pawn step by step to his current status, and his heart is like a mirror, although the siege is tragic at the moment, but the war is so cruel, and if he fights steadily, he may not have no chance of winning, but once the main general Gan Ning catches up with the front line, not to mention what to do if there are three long and two short, just Cao Ying wants to see a sneak attack when the dragons are leaderless, and the consequences are unimaginable.

He pouted, his lips moved slightly, but when he reached his mouth, he still said "General can't", which made Gan Ning more and more upset.

Fortunately, at this time, Wen Ping just retreated from the front line, and after asking about the left and right, he hurriedly bowed down together and persuaded Gan Ning to death.

Gan Ning saw that the two of them were persistent, so he had no choice but to give up, his eyes turned, but he saw the three brothers Zhang Heng on the side, and said angrily:

"You three waste, the military advisor ordered you to charge ahead, but now a few days have passed, can you make an inch? Grass mustard ability, and no virtue, you have survived to this day, how can you be worthy of your dead brother? ”

The words are heart-wrenching, the three brothers are secretly angry when they hear the words, the three of them have been fighting bloodily for days, although they have not broken the city, but as the saying goes, there is no merit and hard work, and the body is scarred by large and small, and now he is scolded by Gan Ning with a head and face, and his heart is cold, but he does not dare to contradict half a sentence.

Gan Ning was depressed in his heart, scolded angrily for a long time, and the generals retreated.

...

....

Compared with Gan Ning's side, although the atmosphere of Xu Huang's team on the right side is also heavy, firstly, Xu Huang's temperament is much calmer, and secondly, in terms of force, Zhang Xiu, Pang De and others are really stronger than Han De, and they have climbed the wall several times. But thirdly, and most importantly, with Zhang Xiu and Pang De, it is never the enemy army that is in trouble.

In the camp, Xu Huang gathered the generals and sighed:

"I have heard for a long time that Cao Cao has countless good talents, but I didn't expect that even several of his own brothers are so extraordinary, Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan's two brothers have heard of their courage and martial arts, this Cao Ren didn't understand it at first, and now you wait and see him defend according to the pass, advance and retreat to a certain extent, although the attack is insufficient, but the defense is more than enough, blocking our army in the pass for several months, its ability to defend can be seen."

Zhang Xiu put down the golden gun, rubbed his sore shoulders and said with black lines on his head:

"At the juncture of the war, why did Gongming bother to say something that would boost the morale of others, which would make us unhappy."

Xu Huangquan didn't hear it, and continued,

"But if the army fights together, the attack cannot be continued for a long time, and the defense will inevitably fail. I praise Cao Ren just for respecting his talent, but in terms of skills, how can a few people be inferior to him? ”

Pound's eyes were shining, and he said urgently:

"Our army has been attacking for months, and the losses are too much, but General Xu has an idea?"

For thousands of years, Hangu Pass is the place where soldiers must have a headache, the terrain here is dangerous, a pass between the two mountains is firmly blocked, and as the gateway of the Central Plains, Hangu Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend is not a lie,

Even if Xu Huang has a good way of generals, if the opponent is a businessman or priest like Mi Fang and Zhang Lu who does not know the art of war, he will casually use a false lure to cover up and kill, and he will be defeated in Luoyang City. But this time his opponent is also one of the few famous generals in the world, and he is good at dying, and he also bumps into a well-defended city battle.

Xu Huang had a headache and was helpless, turned his head and saw Cai Mao and Zhang Yun sitting aside, and was immediately furious:

"You two waste, the military advisor ordered Er and others to charge ahead, and a certain thought has never been persecuted for the sake of the two of you who are not good at land warfare, but now a few days have passed, and you have not made an inch of merit, what face do you have to sit with the generals?"

Cai and Zhang retreated when they heard this...

...

The stalemate at Hangu Pass was established, and just when Xu Huang's generals were at a loss, bad news came from the enemy camp again:

The last 20,000 soldiers and horses from Cao Cao rushed to Hangu Pass!

If it only takes a straw to crush a tired camel, then 20,000 horses are a solid weight.

"Bang!"

Zhang Xiu wailed:

"When our army left Chang'an, there were only more than 26,000, and after months of fierce battles, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses with the wounded. As the saying goes, ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple is divided, and now our army is far inferior to the enemy, and the siege is still a natural disadvantage... Pang Lingming, how do you say this battle will be fought? ”

Pound has never looked down on him from beginning to end, and now he has to fight side by side and roll his eyes every day, where is it rare to ignore his complaints.

Zhang Xiu was not embarrassed, and said leisurely:

"It is said that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and now there is a letter from Xuzhou. The lord did a great job, and he and Senior Brother Shi really broke the Cao-Liu alliance with two swords and returned with a big victory. The lord is like this, and he also yearns for it, Ling Ming, we should also work hard. ”

This is big news, Pound twitched the corner of his eyes when he heard this.

He had long known that the flying generals who moved the world could only be beaten by the Cao Liu Alliance and could only wait for death in Xiapi, but he didn't expect that Lin Yifang had used some demon method in the past few months, or what kind of immortal method he had used, could make the trapped dragon get out of the gate and die in reverse.

Pound looked at the blade in his hand and fell into deep thought:

Lin Li, the name was mentioned again, and this also means that he is famous again. Knowing people and making good use of them, benevolent government and valuing agriculture and business, being brave and strategic, is actually the style of the master, far better than his father-in-law and Ma Teng.....

Zhang Xiu didn't know that his muttering inadvertently made Pang De have a different mind for Lin Li, saving him a big trouble for his future return.

Night began to fall, and the silence made people dare not break this silence. The moon hung high, and the silver moonlight seemed to be bright, but without a torch, a closer look revealed that everything was clouded.

At this time, outside Gan Ning's tent, a straight figure slowly approached with a long shadow under the moonlight.

Xu is moonlight is not very bright, and this figure is full of weirdness:

He has the taste of old age, and he has a completely different vitality like a newborn.

As if stimulated by this strangeness, Gan Ning, who was frowning in the tent, shuddered, he vigilantly carried the Pu knife, opened the door of the tent, looked fixedly, and exclaimed:

"General Huang?!"
