Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 234: Yanmen Pass is critical

Seeing this situation, the Xiongnu hurriedly shouted: "Go back! Go back!"

The Xiongnu cavalry hurriedly retreated, and suffered a lot of casualties under the continuous design of the Yingyang Army bow and crossbowmen. The Xiongnu cavalry ran out of the range of the Yingyang Army's crossbowmen, turned their heads, and saw the grassland densely covered with corpses. People who were not dead wriggled and struggled among the corpses, losing their master's horses. Sorrowful. The Yingyang army’s chariot wall remained motionless, but it was stained with the blood of the Huns!

The Xiongnu Shan Yu and others stared at the Ying Yang army in shock and angrily. King Youxian said in disbelief: "I didn't expect the Han to invent this kind of mobile wall! Even if we can break them, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy casualties. Ah!" In fact, they are already dead and injured now. King Youxian looked at Xiongnu Shan Yu and said, "Shan Yu, I think we should retire temporarily. Think of another way."

The Xiongnu Shanyu was very unwilling, but he also knew that King Youxian was right. In addition, he had another consideration, that is, if he had all the power in his hand, then he would not have it with Xianbei. What status, I'm afraid it will end up in the same situation as a slave.

The Huns were silent for a moment, and shouted: "Retreat!" Tens of thousands of Xiongnu warriors turned and headed north, and soon disappeared in the wind and yellow sand.

The weather in Luoyang was shining bright this day, and Chen Lang was playing around the lake in the backyard holding Xiangxiang. The little girl was as happy as a cute puppy, and the cheerful whisper did not stop for a moment.

At this moment, Jia Xu came in, walked quickly to the side of Chen Lang, smiled and clasped his fist and said: "Good news, lord!" Then he presented a military report to Chen Lang.

Chen Lang put down Xiangxiang, took the report, read it again, smiled and said, "Xingba did a good job!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "It was indeed unexpected."

Chen Lang wandered with his hands behind his back, Jia Xu followed closely, and Xiangxiang followed like a little adult. She was sensible and didn't bother her father.

Chen Lang stopped, looked at the sparkling lake, and asked, "Do you think the Xianbei people will go south from Bingzhou?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "It should be right. This time the Huns are frustrated. I believe that the Xianbei will appear in person soon." Chen Lang nodded and thought: "The army has been rested for a few days. It's almost done, and the logistics are ready and ready to go! One hundred thousand Xiliang cavalry and sixty thousand tigers and iron cavalry should be enough!"

Jia Xu said: "In fact, we only need to guard the pass. If the Xianbei cannot break the pass, they will attack other princes. At this time, we should avoid competing with powerful opponents like Xianbei as much as possible! But I know the lord will not If you obey, the lord would rather not get the country, and absolutely cannot tolerate foreign races raging on the land of the Central Plains!" Chen Lang smiled and said, "You know it!"

Jia Xu said with anxiety: "As soon as the battle with Xianbei is over, I really don’t know when the fight will end, and I don’t know what the outcome will be! Xianbei has now replaced the Xiongnu as the overlord of the north. Stronger than the Xiongnu in the previous Han period, I am afraid that there will be no less! If they are replaced by other princes, I am sure they will find ways to make friends with Xianbei, and will not go to war with Xianbei!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Maybe it's right to make friends with Xianbei. But I can't do it." Bend down and picked up a stone, he hurled it towards the lake in the distance, and the stone jumped on the lake several times at the end. Fall into the water with a plop. Xiangxiang couldn't help clapping his hands happily; "Daddy is awesome!!"

Chen Lang smiled, touched Xiangxiang's head, and asked Jia Xu with a smile: "Wenhe, is it particularly depressed to follow me such a stubborn lord?"

Jia Xu hurriedly worshipped with a serious face: "It is the greatest blessing of the lord's life that his subordinates can follow the lord!"

Chen Lang smiled and said; "I'm afraid your lord will become Xiang Yu, and Hengjian will slay himself by the Wujiang River!"

Jia Xu raised his head to look at Chen Lang, and said without hesitation: "If the lord is the overlord of the Western Chu who shackled himself by the Wujiang River, the subordinate is the 18 iron-blooded knights who attacked the enemy formation before!" In fact, it was the 18 cavalrymen who had made the final impact on the Han army before Xiang Yu died. No one surrendered, they used the last **** battle that shocked the world to let the world remember their bravery and loyalty forever! So far, their roar seems to still echo on the edge of the Wujiang River! The man should be vertical and horizontal, and the high head will never be lowered to anyone!

When Chen Lang heard Jia Xu's words, he couldn't help but nodded softly.

At this moment, Dianwei rushed over and presented a letter to Chen Lang, with an authentic voice; "Master, the report just sent."

auzw.com Chen Lang knew that it was an emergency report, because only an emergency report would be delivered directly to him, otherwise it would be delivered to Jia Xu first, and after sorting and screening, he would show it to him. Chen Lang took the report, read it again, smiled and said to Jia Xu; "This is a report sent from Jizhou. Yuan Shao has already made friends with the Xianbei, and it is said that Yuan Shao secretly married his daughter to the Xianbei. Sure enough, he is a wise man!"

Jia Xu said: "Yuan Shao's move shows that he has noticed the strength of the Xianbei people. This is nothing. I only worry that Yuan Shao will unite with the Xianbei people. If that happens, things will be troublesome!"

Chen Lang thought to himself: "I want to wait for the Xianbei people to fight off this offensive, so I need to talk to Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao?"

Chen Lang looked up at the sky and said, "I don't know about the other princes, but I can be sure that the traitor Cao Cao will never tolerate foreigners' invasion of China like me!" Jia Xu nodded thoughtfully.

Chen Lang assembled 160,000 cavalrymen and left Luoyang to go north to Bingzhou before the early morning to fight the coming Xianbei army. At this moment, the messenger reported the latest situation in the north. The Xianbei general Suli commanded 300,000 Xianbei cavalry and more than 60,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen were attacking Yanmen Pass. Yanmen Pass was in a critical condition.

After Chen Lang got this information, he hurriedly ordered the army to go on his way. Six hundred thousand war horses whizzed north like a gust of wind. In less than three days, the army passed Jinyang and approached Yanmen Pass. At this time, the urgent news of Yanmen Pass flew like snow flakes, and a group of Xianbei cavalry bypassed Yanmen Pass and surrounded the Yanmen Pass.

Chen Lang was a little shocked, and asked the messenger who came to report: "How did the Xianbei cavalry bypass the Yanmen Pass?"

The messenger reported: "Returning to the lord, it is said that Chen Chao, a great gentry near Yanmen, had taken refuge in Xianbei and reported to the Xianbei people on Yingchoujian Trail. That Xianbei cavalry had crossed the high mountains and copied from Yingchoujian to the rear of Yanmen Pass! If our army hadn’t discovered the situation in time, Yanmen Pass would have been breached by the enemy at this moment!"

Chen Lang frowned and said murderously: "Gentlemen! Confucianism!"

Chen Lang ordered the people to open the map. Chen Lang was confronted by his location on the map. He pointed to the point fifty miles south of Yanmen Pass and said, "We are here, there is still fifty miles away from Yanmen Pass!"

Zhao Yun said; "Lord, we are on the road day and night, the soldiers and horses are very tired, we should take a rest first."

Chen Lang nodded and pointed to a place a dozen miles south of Yanmen Pass, and said, "I remember that the mountains are flat and the forests are dense. This enemy rider who passed Yanmen Pass!" The generals agreed in unison.

It is said that the Xianbei army and the Huns attacked Yanmen for several days, and the losses were not small, but they failed to make any progress. The offensive temporarily stopped.

It was just getting bright this day, the wall of Yanmen Pass was silent, and the broken Han army battle flag was flying gently in the morning breeze. The officers and soldiers who fought hard for most of the night were already exhausted, and they were all immersed in their sleep.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came. The Yingyang soldiers woke up one after another and looked outside the city gate. Looking through the early morning mist, I saw countless black shadows in the mist slowly approaching! An officer opened his glasses frame and screamed: "The enemy is coming up!" At the same time, the gong representing the alarm sounded. The originally silent city wall immediately became hustle and bustle. A group of bandaged officers and soldiers rushed up the city wall, the arrows were wound, the catapult was ready, a pot of boiling oil began to burn, everything seemed so organized in the rush wilt! The local people who boiled water, boiled water, and resisted stones, were all actively helping the eagle to defend the city!

After a while, the early morning mist dissipated in a breeze, revealing an endless army of enemies!

Gan Ning roared: "Ready to fight!" With a clanging cry, the long knives were unsheathed together, staring at the enemy outside the city with cold eyes!

There were waves of wolf howling horns from outside the city, and I saw that many catapults withdrew from the enemy's large formation!

Gan Ning was taken aback and exclaimed, "How can Xianbei barbarians have a catapult?!"

At this moment, those catapults made a huge noise, and saw countless boulders roaring into the sky and flying towards the city! The scene is as if the end of the world is coming! Gan Ning roared anxiously: "Hidden!" Almost at the same time, the huge stone rain fell from the sky and hit the wall of Yanmen Pass, making a huge bang, bang, and bang, and the whole earth seemed to tremble! The originally indestructible city wall was peeling off one by one, and the entire city wall seemed to be trembling!

Seeing that a round of attacks had such an effect, Su Li couldn't help being overjoyed, turning his head and admiring an old man wearing Hanfu next to him: "Chen Chao, the machine you built is really useful!" It turned out that this old man had previously offered to the Xianbei people. The local Confucian scholar Chen Chao who left Yingshoujian Road. Seeing Suli praised himself, Chen Chao quickly said with a humble smile; "It is an old honor to work for the seniors!" Suli laughed and said boldly: "When I break the Yanmen, I will definitely have many rewards! Chen Chao quickly said: "Thank you, General!"
