Chapter 249: Capture the Pass

The sky began to tear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cold light flickered in the air.

Countless swords, spears, and halberds appeared in the air, pointing straight at the soldiers on the city walls, as well as at the thick gates.

"What is this?" Yang Ren stared at the vision in the sky, and when he saw it clearly, he immediately shouted: "Run!" ”

Buzz.

The air began to tremble.

All kinds of weapons that flashed with cold light burst out, taking the lives of countless soldiers in an instant. The thick city gates, under the powerful bombardment of swords, guns and halberds, were smashed out of one big hole after another, and began to crumble.

The soldiers behind Chen Xu looked at the weapons flying in the sky and began to cheer non-stop.

Yang Ren hid in the corner of the city wall, looking at the soldiers who were instantly divided by various weapons, and felt extremely frightened.

This kind of power is too strong to deal with at all. He had heard rumors that Chen Xu had rushed into the city of Xiapi, where tens of thousands of enemy troops had been single-handed, and under the siege of Cao Cao's many generals, he rescued Lu Bu and others who were captured.

He used to think it was just a joke, thinking that people from Chang'an deliberately touted Chen Xu. It wasn't until today that he suddenly discovered that this rumor was most likely true.

What to do?

Yang Ren began to worry about his future.

Yangping Guan Ken and the others can't hold on, even if they can escape back, they will be punished by the lord.

Not only that, once Yangping Pass is lost, Chen Xujun will be able to drive straight in, and with the strength of the lord, it is unlikely that he wants to hold Hanzhong. Rather than go back and accept the punishment, why not surrender just like that?

He looked up at the various weapons that were still being smashed, carefully ripped off a piece of the plain white silk robe he was wearing inside, picked it up with a spear, and shouted loudly: "Yang Ren, the guard general in Xiayangping, is willing to switch and surrender!" ”

The soldiers who also hid at the base of the wall and took refuge with him, when they saw that the main generals had surrendered, they immediately followed suit, tore off the white cloth and held it high, and shouted loudly: "Surrender, we are willing to surrender." ”

Hearing that someone had surrendered, Chen Xu put away the king's treasure, and the weapon projected returned to the treasure house in an instant.

A few drops of sweat flowed from his forehead, this thing is easy to use, but it consumes too much, and the magic power in his body is almost consumed in such a short time. I really don't know how much mana it will take to bombard Gilgamesh for more than ten minutes in a row.

Crunch.

There was a tooth-aching sound from the gates, and they staggered open.

Yang Ren took off his armor and rushed out of the city gate with the remaining soldiers under his command.

He walked to Chen Xu and knelt down a few steps away, "Yang Ren, the guard of Yangping, is hereby asking for surrender." ”

Chen Xu helped him up with a smile, "General Yang is here, and our army has added a big boost, which is really good." ”

Yang Ren immediately said modestly: "The ability of the subordinates is limited, and the lord praises it." ”

……

Council Chamber.

The crowd was deliberating on their next plan of attack.

Yang Ren first explained to everyone the strength of Zhang Lu's army, as well as the distribution:

The main force of Zhang Lu's army is currently all gathered in Hanzhong City, with a total of 100,000 troops. Zhang Wei near Yangping Pass still had about 20,000 soldiers, and the rest of the local branches had a small number of soldiers, totaling about 50,000.

Li Jing suggested: "My lord, my subordinates think that General Yang should be asked to spread false information, saying that Yangping Pass is in danger, and ask Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei to send troops to support." Then an ambush was placed near Yangping Pass to wipe out the reinforcements. ”

Qin Qiong also said: "The pharmacist is right. In addition, his subordinates felt that they should also divide a small number of soldiers and horses, and quickly capture the area near Yangping Pass while the news had not leaked to ensure the safety of the rear. ”

Chen Xu stood up, "Okay, just do what the pharmacist said." Yang Ren, you immediately ask Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei for help. ”

Yang Ren bowed and said, "Yes, my subordinates will do it." ”

Chen Xu continued to order:

Ma Chao and Uesugi Kenshin led 10,000 soldiers to sweep the remnants of the remnants near Yangping Pass. Zhang Liao, Qin Qiong, and Pang De were ordered to lead 5,000 soldiers to ambush everywhere, waiting for Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei's troops to take the bait. He also ordered LΓΌ Lingqi to lead 1,000 cavalry to cruise near Yangping Pass to eliminate the scouts and messengers of Zhang Lujun's army.

Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu received a letter from Cao Cao saying that he had agreed to the alliance and had sent troops to attack Chen Xu's Hangu Pass. I hope that Zhang Lu can take the initiative to attack and drag down Chen Xu's main force.

"Cao Gong has already attacked, Yang Song, do we send troops to take the initiative to attack according to what Cao Gong said?"

Yang Song's eyes rolled, "My lord, my subordinates think that we just need to guard Yangping Pass." When Cao Cao defeated Hangu Pass and Chen Xu retreated, we would take the initiative to attack, which would minimize the losses of our army.

Taking a step back, even if Cao Cao did not capture Hangu Pass, he and Chen Xu already had a grudge. Presumably, Chen Xu will retreat next to prevent Cao Cao from attacking again. In this way, our army can stay out of the situation. ”

Zhang Lu smiled: "Okay, yes, you and I think exactly the same." ”

……

Hangu Pass.

Hao Zhao stood on the city wall, looking at Cao Jun, who had launched a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning, and sneered.

Since he and Wang Shuang were sent here, they have to patrol the city wall more than a dozen times a day. Especially at night, he and Wang Shuang divided into two teams to take turns patrolling the night, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the night.

One order after another was given in an orderly manner from his mouth.

"Crossbowmen, shoot!"

"The axemen guards the entrance to the wall."

"Prepare wood and oil, and as soon as the enemy climbs the ladder, immediately throw it down."

Wang Shuang was woken up from sleep by his subordinates, quickly put on his armor, picked up his big axe and rushed to the city.

"Grandma's, these Cao Jun's big nights don't sleep, which disturbs Lao Tzu's good dreams."

When Hao Zhao heard this, he said: "Then you go to sleep, and the credit for repelling the Cao army and defending Hangu Pass will all belong to me." ”

Wang Shuangbai glanced at Hao Zhao, "If you want to take the credit alone, there is no door." You command here, Lao Tzu is going to kill a good time. ”

Both of them were very excited, this was their first battle after defecting to Chen Xu.

The two of them knew very well how important Hangu Pass was, so when Chen Xu transferred them to garrison, they couldn't believe it. In the past, this place was guarded by the lord's henchmen, Zhang Liao and Pang De.

Since the lord values it so much, even if it is death, they must hold the Hangu Pass and block the Cao army from the pass.

"Die!"

"It's enough for Lao Tzu to go down!"

"With Lao Tzu here, don't you want to go to the top of the city!"

Wang Shuang carried a big axe, one by one, and wiped out all the Cao troops who climbed up the ladder.

Inspired by him, the soldiers cooperated with each other to destroy the invading enemy.

Under Hangu Pass, Xiahoudun was so angry that he jumped like thunder.

Nearly an hour has passed since the sneak attack on Hangu Pass, and no progress has been made. The two nobodies in his eyes guarded Hangu tightly and made him unable to enter.

Watching the soldiers being wiped out kept on going, his heart was dripping blood.

The enemy was obviously prepared, and if he continued, there would not be much left of these soldiers.

He looked at Hangu Pass hatefully, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat, the whole army retreats!" Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang, I, Xiahoudun, remember you. ”

Cao's army attacked Hangu Pass and failed.
