The next day it was overcast, a thin mist was in the mountains, the autumn wind was blowing, the weather was getting cooler, and a dark cloud hung around the sky. The soldiers in Yanmen Pass are still busy demolishing houses and sundries, after a night of busyness. Most of the houses have been demolished, and all that remains of the two neat rows of houses is a pile of rubble.

The horn sounded outside Yanmen Pass, Wang Gang followed Fan Chong to the city wall, and watched from a distance as the black crowd rushed towards Yanmen Pass, going forward and one after another, as far as the eye could see.

Perhaps because of the change in weather, the Xiongnu's offensive became extremely strong, and the Hun cavalry rushed over wave after wave to release arrows, and then stayed directly under the city wall to shoot. The defenders on the city wall suffered more and more casualties, and gradually they could not hold on. Another wave of wounded soldiers rushed forward, barely resisting for a while.

When the news reached Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanzhuo laughed a few times and looked up at the sky again.

"Attack the city with all your might, break the city today, there are not many defenders on the city wall, send another thousand cavalry to step forward and suppress the city head" Hu Yanzhuo finished speaking, and the momentum of the entire army was shocked.

The defenders on the city wall fought hard for another half hour, and the defeat was gradually revealed, and more and more Hugh Tu men climbed the wall, and the archers had thrown their longbows, drew their short swords at their waists, and fought in close combat.

"General, it's almost time" Fan Chong took one last look in the direction of the Hun army. The entire army was slowly moving towards the city gates.

"Go" Wang Gang answered, urged the war horse, and galloped towards the east.

The defenders of Yanmen Pass, less and less, were gradually driven off the city wall, and withdrew towards the pass, with the opening of the Yanmen City Gate, a team of cavalry rushed into Yanmen Pass, and cut down several backward defenders to the ground.

Several leading cavalry continued to pursue, only to find ox carts pulling sacks of grain running lifelessly in front. But the speed of the ox cart was still not as fast as that of the war horse, and it took less than a cup of tea to catch up.

Swinging a knife, he slashed several soldiers who were driving, and slashed at the sack, which was cut open with a large opening, and the yellow and clear millet kept rolling down. The wooden box next to it was also kicked over by the soldiers next to him, and suddenly copper coins fell to the ground one by one, rolling everywhere.

Several Hun cavalry of the Huns suddenly lit up, staring at the copper coins all over the ground. A centurion ran to the front, looked at the copper coins and grain all over the ground, and then at the ox carts that were still running wildly not far away.

"A few of you stay here, I'll go and tell the commander"

Several Hun cavalrymen swallowed their saliva, and one of the cavalrymen glanced left and right, and with great courage, grabbed a handful of copper coins and hid them in his arms. Several cavalry also stepped forward, hundreds of Hugh Tu foot soldiers also rushed over, began to grab the grain and copper coins on the ox cart, the scene was suddenly a little chaotic, the mountain road was congested, the cavalry behind wanted to continue to chase the ox cart in front, but was blocked by the basic Hugh butcher soldiers.

Hu Yanzhuo rode a war horse, slowly walked into Yanmen Pass, days of siege battles, brought huge casualties to Hugh Tu, this Yanmen Pass almost became a nightmare for Hugh Tu, now the nightmare has been broken, then the entire Yanmen County, under the iron hooves of the Hun cavalry.

Just as Hu Yanzhuo wanted to take a closer look, one centurion rode his horse and galloped over.

Turning over and dismounting, he saluted.

"Tell the marshal, I found a carriage transported by the Han army in front, with grain and a lot of copper coins on it, and there are dozens of such ox carts, fleeing eastward"

Hu Yanzhuo was stunned for a moment, and then scolded.

"Then you don't chase it, don't let go of a single one, it's really a rice bucket" Hu Yanzhuo was still angry after speaking, and ordered the soldiers on the left and right to pursue the whole army, and be sure to annihilate the Yanmen defenders and recapture the grain.

The Huns take food very seriously, they know that there is a lot of food in the Han army, they have heard the centurion's words just now, and they have heard that there are copper coins on the wagon that escaped in front, which can ask the Han people to buy food, it is exciting to think about it, thousands of Hun cavalry, swarming to the front.

The riot of grabbing money in front gradually subsided with the arrival of Hu Yanzhuo. Hu Yanzhuo was decisive and ruthless. Directly ordered the guards to shoot all the Hugh Tu people who participated in the robbery, and for a time the Huns trembled and never dared to step forward again. The cavalry was able to continue the pursuit.

But the ox cart in front of it had already stretched a distance of two or three miles.

Huang Zhong's face was calm, but the hand holding the longbow was sweating slightly, he was also a veteran of the battlefield, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so nervous, but the soldiers he led were indeed the kind of elite archers that he saw in Yanmen, and there were two thousand people. Although he was a lieutenant general in Jingzhou, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers under him, they were only facing some mountain bandits and fierce Hun cavalry, which was completely incomparable.

Ox carts ran over on the mountain road in the distance, smoke and dust flew up behind them, and the sound of rumbling war horses came. The whole earth trembled, and it was less than two hundred steps away from the ox cart, which was still running desperately, and not far in front of it was the east city wall of Yanmen.

Several backward ox carts were chased by the Hun generals, and the soldiers who drove them jumped out of the carriages one after another, blocking dozens of ox carts in the middle of the mountain road. Ran towards the mountains and forests on the side. The Hun cavalry was trapped by the ox cart, and the originally neat formation suddenly became crowded, and the cavalry galloping behind was unable to retract, and the scene was chaotic.

At this moment, a bangzi sounded, and feathered arrows flew out from both sides with a whistling sound. Shooting at the dense crowd, it was too late for the Hun cavalry to swing their swords to block, and the screams rang out, and a round of arrows rained down, at least a thousand people were shot dead.

The strength of the bow and arrow is very strong, some can directly shoot through the body of the Hun cavalry, the arrow hits the chest, the tip of the arrow comes out from the back, the Hun cavalry is in chaos, some people turn their horses' heads and want to retreat, but they are blocked on the mountain road by the Hugh butcher who followed behind.

"Rush over, rush over"

A Hun general shouted loudly and rushed towards the ox cart. A few soldiers turned over and dismounted, trying to overturn the ox cart blocking the road in front, but as soon as a few cavalry exerted their strength, they found that the ox cart was surprisingly light. Before the Hun cavalry could react to what it meant, rockets rose into the sky and landed on the ox carts, and suddenly the fire rose and spread rapidly, igniting the ox carts and blocking the entire mountain road.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the cavalry turned their horses and wanted to retreat, but too much time had been wasted, and the arrows in the sky rained down, and in less than a moment, the original five or six thousand cavalry, less than a thousand of them escaped from the range of the archers, followed Hugh Tu and slowly retreated to the west.

Hu Yanzhuo slowly retreated under the escort of his own soldiers, his eyes were blood-red, in such a short time, at least 5,000 soldiers died under the bows and arrows of the Han people.

Huang Zhong also slowly put down his longbow and shook his head slightly.

He originally wanted to shoot and kill, but the Hun general was very cautious and kept in the rear of the cavalry, which made his wishful thinking fail.
