He came to the pass and looked north.

I saw that in the middle of the desert, a cloud of smoke and dust was raised, and below the smoke and dust, there were countless Xianbei troops, which soon approached below the gate, and looked at its formation, there were about seventy or eighty thousand people.

The Xianbei people live in the desert, and although the conditions are difficult, they are very capable of living.

As long as there are women, a race can be born in minutes, and their population is not small, plus there have been fewer battles in recent years, and now it can be said that there are enough troops.

Seventy or eighty thousand people, the soldiers are approaching the pass, and the momentum is immense.

The guards recruited at Yanmen Pass were only more than 20,000, and their momentum was much weaker than that of the Xianbei people, but their fighting spirit was not weak, and bursts of drums echoed above the pass.

All the soldiers guarding the pass are ready to fight to the death.

They are fighting for the people of the Han Dynasty, protecting the family in Yanmen County behind them, and they are not afraid of fighting to the death, as long as they can protect their families, everything is worth it.

The man who led the army in Xianbei, called Tuoba Lixiong, came to the front of Yanmen Pass, he just rested for a while, looked up at the pass, and saw that there were not many people guarding the pass, and said lightly: "Siege!" ”

They also have war drums in their Xianbei army.

With his order, the war drums were beaten, and the Xianbei army frantically rushed towards Yanmen Pass, they also didn't know how to attack the city, and the only siege weapon that could be used was to take the ladder to the south, and to use the tactics of the sea of people to capture the pass.

"Archer, shoot!"

Beckoning shouted.

The soldiers guarding the pass quickly launched a counterattack, and the rain of arrows under black pressure seemed to cover the sky and the sun, falling among the Xianbei soldiers.

The Xianbei people raised their shields to resist, covering the following troops, and approached below the pass.

Dozens of ladders were quickly erected, and the Xianbei people began to climb the city tower desperately, as long as they thought of the vast and rich land behind the pass, and there were countless grains and inexhaustible women, all of them were full of blood.

We must take the place of the Han people and get everything from the Han people.

They are greedy.

The driving force that drove the Xianbei people south was their greed.

"Wood, stones, smash down, the enemy is almost gathered, explosives are ready."

Led the defense unhurriedly and did not panic.

Thundered......

The wood and stone smashed on the ladder of the Xianbei people, knocking many Xianbei people out.

The Xianbei people under the gate also drew their bows and arrows and threw them at the gate, and the rain of arrows shot up one after another, but they were all successfully resisted by the shields prepared in advance.

That's when explosives came in handy.

The soldier guarding the gate lit it and threw it down.

The Xianbei had never seen explosives, and they didn't know what it was, so they ignored what they had left behind, but they soon regretted it.

Rumble!

The explosives exploded, the sound was deafening, and the ground shook.

The Xianbei people who were about to attack the city below were overturned on the spot, and several ladders were blown up.

Those Xianbei people who were still alive were stunned for a while when they saw this, and then they panicked, and they couldn't figure out what kind of weapons the Han people had.

Maybe it's not a weapon, maybe it's sorcery.

Thinking of the demon arts, the Xianbei people were a little afraid, swallowed their saliva and did not dare to launch another onslaught.

They didn't dare to attack, so it would be polite to pull the move, and they continued to let people drop the explosives, and the explosion overturned another enemy, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunsmoke, I don't know how pungent it was.

"Run!"

The attacking Xianbei people are finally going to be in chaos.

They could also see that the third batch of explosives was thrown out, and they knew that these things were terrifying, and they could no longer care about attacking the pass.

Tuoba Lixiong frowned, and had to retreat first, not daring to attack rashly.

"What are those things?"

He looked at an adjutant general who had fled back from the front line and asked worriedly.

The lieutenant shook his head, he couldn't tell what it was, they had never seen such a weapon before, but there was a little more fear in his eyes, and he didn't dare to storm Yanmen Pass again.

Tuoba Lixiong said: "Come here, send a message to tell my eldest brother that Yanmen Pass is difficult to attack, let him try to march from Jiuyuan and other places, and pay attention to beware, the special weapons of the Han people, first camp and rest, and then find a way to deal with it." ”

The Xianbei army retreated, but did not leave, and was stationed north of Yanmen Pass.

He breathed a sigh of relief and was confident in the explosives.

At the same time, they also sent the news of Yanmen Pass to Yang Zhao.

——

Inside Gohara Castle.

Yang Zhao was stationed here to defend against the Xianbei people who were heading south.

However, after waiting for many days, they still did not see the Xianbei people appear in the north, and seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, just when they were puzzled, they got a letter of solicitation.

"The Xianbei people are also cunning, and they think that we will be on guard with all our might, so they will not attack from this side, but will attack Yanmen Pass first." Yang Zhao smiled.

"Yanmen Pass is more difficult to fight than here."

Jia Xu said: "If the Xianbei people suffer under Zi Jing and can't get benefits, the next step is to storm Jiuyuan's side, and they will definitely do it before the snow falls." ”

Yang Zhao asked, "How are the preparations outside the city?" ”

"The traps have been dug up."

Ju Yi responded.

"That's fine, wait for the enemy to go south, and then it depends on the situation."

Yang Zhao was not worried, he would not be able to defend Jiuyuan.

Even if the Xianbei people hit the city of Wuyuan, they were confident that they would retreat from the enemy.

Next, it's a matter of waiting, and it's finally here.

Jia Xu's analysis is very correct, the Xianbei people can't get any benefits in Yanmen Pass, and the next step is to come to Jiuyuan and Yunzhong.

Tuoba Liwei received an order from Budugen and led the Xianbei army south to attack the Han Chinese.

They were divided into four routes, and the first way was naturally Yanmen Pass.

The remaining three routes, as Yang Zhao had guessed at the beginning, invaded in Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Lesheng, Dingxiang and other places, and directly pounced on the defense line laid out by Yang Zhao.

There is a feeling of not breaking the Han people and vowing not to give up.

When Yang Zhao learned of the arrival of the Xianbei people, he first asked Zhao Yun and Tian Yu to lead the cavalry out to meet the battle.

When the Xianbei people saw that Yang Zhao sent cavalry to fight, they also sent 10,000 cavalry in the army, and rushed out of the army formation with great momentum, facing Zhao Yun and them to rush over.

"Kill!"

Zhao Yun snorted.

Tian Yu's Xuanjia elite cavalry rushed to the front, and Zhao Yun's heavy cavalry was not as fast as the light cavalry, but it could also quickly chase after the rear.

The distance between the two sides is gradually narrowing.

However, when he was about to walk, the Xuanjia Spirit Rider suddenly stopped with a lift of the reins.

The hoplites also stopped without warning, and stopped behind the Xuanjia elite cavalry.

The Xianbei cavalry was stunned when they saw it, and thought that the Han cavalry was afraid, and they were taken by their own momentum, they let out a burst of sneer, and continued to ride their horses forward to attack, and the tragedy soon came.

They broke into an area that Ju Yi had dug in advance, a series of trapped horse pits.

Those trapped horse pits were small holes that could probably fit into the horse's hooves, and there were pits at intervals of thirty paces, and those war horses stepped on them, and the horses' hooves could not be pulled out for a moment, and they let out a mournful cry and fell.

The Xianbei knights on horseback had no idea that this would be the case, as the war horse fell down heavily, they were smashed to pieces, and the screams echoed with the mournful screams of the war horses.
