Yin Shi is the darkest time of the day, the cold wind is biting, but the hearts of the men are hot. The long journey of more than ten days and the battle of Shicai did not exhaust them, their bodies were like iron, for this opportunity to dominate the side, they paid a huge price, and now victory is in sight, and they all sprint towards the final goal.

Luo Tianchu led the army down the official road, and walked non-stop for two hours, when he suddenly heard the sound of water flowing in the distance, and marched for a while, the sound of water flow was more urgent, and there was the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Luo Tianchu has been familiar with the terrain near Tongguan, knowing that Tongguan is built in the north according to the Yellow River, the Yellow River water flows under the city of Tongguan, cutting off the road to the north, and there is no need to worry about the north of the city when fighting. The forbidden ditch in the south of the city leads directly to the Qinling Mountains, communicates with Wuguan, the deep gorge in the ditch is staggered, many ditches are connected, and the depth reaches 100 zhang. The forbidden ditch crosses the Tongguan plateau in the north and south, but if you take the risk and climb over the ditch, you can still enter the pass, so the ancient soldiers set up the "twelve cities" in the forbidden ditch, from the south of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, set up a city every three miles, the city is stationed with 100 soldiers, set up firearms, bows and crossbows, beacon towers, and the enemy army is difficult to smuggle. Therefore, "those who guard the pass but do not guard the forbidden ditch will guard the Jews, and those who will guard the forbidden ditch and not the twelve cities will not be good." ”

The east gate of Tongguan is located in the Yellow Lane Board, which is an extremely difficult mountain road, and the road from the east of Hangu Pass must pass through the Yellow Lane Board, and there is no other way to find it. The south side of the Yellow Lane Board is close to the plateau, the cliff is steep, and there is a high bank uplift between the rivers on the north side, forming a lonely road that is dependent on the plateau in the south, bordering the absolute stream in the north, and passing through a path in the middle. In contrast, only the road outside the West Gate is in better condition, and there is a river named |" Tong River" is also the origin of the name of Tongguan.

Luo Tianchu's troops came from the west, and they could already see the bright torches on the walls of Tongguan. Luo Tian was overjoyed when he saw that there were not many golden soldiers on the city wall, and secretly thought that the troops in the city must have been gathered by Han Chang in the pass, ready to set off to support Chang'an. Otherwise, even if they earn the city gate, they condescendingly release arrows, and they will become a live target. At this time, the Jin soldiers found Luo Tianchu's troops, and shouted: "Stop! Who are you! Luo Tianchu replied on the horse: "We are Han Fenggongzi's subordinates, the thief army has broken through Chang'an, Han Gongzi led the crowd to break through and came to defect." The leader of the golden soldiers on the city wall was taken aback, and ordered his subordinates to inform Han Chang immediately, and he asked again: "Where is Han Gongzi?" Luo Tianchu said: "Gongzi is here, but he is injured and inconvenient to speak." ”

At this time, a burly and tall general appeared on the city wall, looking by the firelight, he was in his forties, with a big broad face, thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, high cheekbones, and a full beard, as soon as he went to the city, he asked loudly: "Feng'er, are you there!" Luo Tianchu knew that he was Han Chang, and walked up two steps on his horse, and came to a place where the firelight could just shine, so that Han Feng, who was hit by the acupoint in front of him, sat up straight and raised his head. Han Feng was confused and couldn't speak, so he said angrily: "It's useless! I lost Chang'an and I still have the face to come back! Hey, open the door and let them in." ”

The soldiers under the city received the order, opened the west gate, and lowered the drawbridge. Luo Tian was overjoyed when he saw that the plan had succeeded, and cautiously led his army into the city. Han Chang sighed in the city: "Lord Lang handed over the heavy responsibility of guarding Jingzhao Mansion to our father and son, but the huge Chang'an was lost in only two hours, let me explain to Lord Lang." The adjutant general beside him said: "Does the general still want to send troops to Chang'an? Now that the thieves have occupied the city, it may not be good for us to send troops." Han Chang said: "Even if you don't do anything, you have to go, otherwise Lord Lang will question, if we don't even send troops, I'm afraid that the responsibility will be greater." The adjutant said, "Yes, the last general understands." ”

Han Chang looked at the troops under the city who were entering the city one after another, and suddenly said "Huh", and muttered: "Strange...... The deputy general said: "What's the matter, general?" Han Chang's heart tightened, thinking that although these defeated troops were all wearing their own clothes, they were all neatly dressed, and there was no embarrassment. Why did all the defeated army ride on horseback, but not one on foot? Their weapons were neatly worn, their swords, swords, and halberds were not lost, and even the feathers in the quiver were full. Recalling the scene of Shicai, his son Han Feng never said a word, it was all the person behind him who explained, as a general, his martial arts were good, how could he be the only one who was injured, and the soldiers were all intact? Could it be that he was ...... Thinking of this, he trembled violently, knew what he was planning, and hurriedly shouted: "Close the city gates quickly! Let them enter the city!

If it was during the day, with Han Chang's experience, he would have already discovered the flaw, but unfortunately he was blinded at night, and his mind was full of thinking about how to explain to Lord Lang, which made Luo Tianchu take advantage of the loophole. Now it was too late to find out, Luo Tianchu's cavalry maintained a proper distance after entering the pass, standing in a goose-shaped formation, implying an encirclement of the 8,000 golden soldiers gathered together. Jin Bing thought it was his own people and was defenseless. Until Han Chang hissed and shouted, Luo Tianchu knew that he had seen through it, and shouted: "Brothers, do it!" The soldiers of the Blood Knife Castle who were ready to attack quickly pulled their bows and arrows, and released three rounds of flying arrows in a row towards the opposite Jin soldiers. The Jin soldiers were unprepared, stood in a dense manner, almost all of them hit, and fell a large area in an instant.

The Jin soldiers suddenly burst into a commotion, and they all drew their weapons and rushed up to fight, Luo Tianchu caught a glimpse of Han Chang who was rushing down the city, and said to Zhao Hengshan: "Hall Master Zhao, you lead three hundred people to kill the city, be sure to take Han Chang, whether you live or die." Zhao Hengshan said: "Obey!" Luo Tianchu said in a loud voice: "Brothers, killing them Tongguan is ours, and Guanzhong is ours!" The soldiers were in high morale, shouted in unison, and rushed towards the Jin soldiers. Although the cavalry of the Blood Knife Fort was only 2,000 people, their geese marched through the golden soldiers, and the cavalry covered the golden soldiers like a big pocket. The Jin soldiers were scattered, unable to give full play to the numerical advantage, and the main general Han Chang was still blocked on the city wall, unable to command the battle, and at the moment the dragons were leaderless, chaotic, like prey, they were rushed back and forth by the cavalry of the Blood Knife Castle.

Several Meng'an wanted to lead their troops out of the encirclement, but they were blocked by Luo Tianchu and forced back, and those Meng'an were also killed by Luo Tianchu's arrows. In just half an hour, half of the eight thousand Liaodong elites were lost, and the remaining Jin soldiers lost their fighting spirit, and they could no longer organize a decent counterattack, only the share of fish and meat.

Han Chang's martial arts are really good, and he fought with Zhao Hengshan for 70 rounds. In fact, Han Chang had not practiced the mastery of internal skills, but he had an adventure. In the ice and snow of Liaodong that year, he was still a teenager and rode into the mountains to hunt, wearing a bearskin vest, and the knife-like cold wind swept the snow particles on his face, he screamed happily, simply unbuttoned his clothes, and let the wind and snow blow on his chest. On that day, he found a thousand-year-old snow lotus under a slippery ice cliff, and in order to climb the ice cliff, he fell down a total of 37 times, and his nose and face were swollen, and his bones fell apart, but he was unyielding and finally picked the snow lotus. He knew that it was a strange thing, and after returning home, he boiled the ice lotus soup and ate it, only to feel that a warm current rose in the dantian, and the internal force increased greatly, and he did not feel cold when he stood outside the door of the wind and snow.

The thousand-year-old snow lotus was hard to find, and in the following decades, he went into the mountains many times to look for it, but it was difficult to find a single one. His strong internal strength is all a godsend, and he can't teach others, so his son Han Feng only has a thousand catties of arm strength, but his internal strength has no foundation. The more Zhao Hengshan fought, the more strange he became, thinking that this Han Chang really deserved his reputation, and even the spiral strength couldn't help him.

Han Chang was extremely angry in his heart, seeing that the elite of Liaodong, who had followed him for many years, was toyed with by two thousand cavalry, and was killed like a pig and a dog, but he was helpless. He found that there were few golden soldiers left on the city wall, and the two lieutenants were all killed, and the general situation was gone. He gritted his teeth and ran towards the northern wall. Zhao Hengshan chased after him for a long time, and laughed: "The front is the Yellow River, where can you run." Han Chang ran to the north city wall in one breath, under the city is the turbulent Yellow River, the root of the city wall is placed twenty or thirty half-person high wooden barrels, the handle of the barrel is tied with two hemp ropes, one end of which is tied to the battlement, can directly carry water from the Yellow River, so even if it is besieged on three sides, it cannot cut off the water source of Tongguan. Zhao Hengshan found that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up. Han Chang quickly grabbed the barrel and jumped off the city wall, cutting the hemp rope with a dagger. "Poof" fell into the Yellow River. Zhao Hengshan was not accustomed to water, and scolded: "Your mother!" The probe looked at the river, and in the darkness he saw the wooden barrel floating rapidly on the surface of the river, and then the water splashed suddenly, and a head appeared, Han Chang hugged the wooden barrel tightly with one hand, and began to take off the armor on his body with the other hand. The water was so fast that after a while I couldn't see anything. (To be continued.) )
