Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The golden dragon phase suddenly appeared, and as soon as it came, it launched the phase's ultimate move.  Quan Cong didn't know how powerful he was, so he twisted the knife and chopped it off.  There was a loud cracking sound, and the sword suddenly broke open, and the giant sword fell in front of his face.  Quan Cong's head was like exploding explosives, blood and brain matter flying out.  Cao Zhang slashed Quan Cong to death with one sword, his eyes were glowing with golden light, and he was extremely evil. All the Tang generals around him were frightened when they saw this, and no one dared to block him.  Cao Zhang rushed forward on horseback, and the Wei generals behind him were shocked and followed closely to kill him.  The Tang army was in chaos. Seeing Cao Zhang leading his troops to break through, they were invincible and the Tang army collapsed.  At this time, Wen Shun and Zhao Yun both went to resist the two flanks of the Wei army.  Cao Zhang attacked from the middle, but no general could stop him.  At this moment, Cao Zhang Ruruo has become the backbone of the Wei army and an invincible general.  During the conflict, seven or eight more Tang generals died under Cao Zhang's giant sword.  When the Tang troops in the rear saw Cao Zhang coming to kill him, they were frightened and fled in all directions.  Xu Huang was frightened by what he saw and wanted to go out to fight. Wen Han was afraid that Xu Huang would lose again, so he taught him to stay behind in the rear just in case.  Soon after, Deng Ai and Wang Shuang were guarding Guan Yu and rushing towards the rear formation. Suddenly, they heard screams and chaotic noises behind them.  Deng Ai turned around and saw Cao Zhang leading his army to attack. His face suddenly changed. Before he could say anything, Wang Shuang rushed to speak first.

    "Brother Deng, you protect the East King of the River from returning!! Then Cao Ziwen, let me stop him!!"

    Deng Ai felt his heart tightening. For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.  Unexpectedly, Wang Shuang was impatient, so he drew his horse and reined it up, hoping to lead a group of troops to fight him.  Let's say that Cao Zhang was driving his troops forward. Suddenly he heard a roar in front and saw a red-armored soldier flying towards him.

    "Cao Ziwen, don't be so arrogant, let me kill you!!"

    Wang Shuang shouted angrily, raised his sword on Pegasus, and rushed in front of Cao Zhang with lightning and flint.  Cao Zhang was full of energy and domineering, and he fought with his sword.  The two fought desperately for dozens of rounds.  If Cao Zhang had divine help, the more he fought, the braver he became. The giant sword suddenly burst into light, and the golden dragon fell with the sword, hitting Wang Shuang.  Wang Shuang hurriedly twisted his knife to block it, and the three giant wolves looked like they were roaring.

    Suddenly, there was another loud bang, and the golden dragon suddenly broke through the three giant wolves. The black iron giant sword was invincible. With its powerful and unstoppable power, it slammed Wang Shuang's sword open, and with a loud bang,  fall.  Wang Shuang hurriedly avoided it, and the huge sword hit his armor, which suddenly burst into pieces. Wang Shuang was like a kite with its string cut off, and he was thrown away. He knocked over dozens of soldiers, vomited blood, and had seven or eight broken ribs.  Unless you die, your martial arts skills will be completely useless in this life, making it difficult to fight.  Cao Zhang defeated Wang Shuang again, and the Wei generals behind him shouted loudly, full of fighting spirit.

    At the same time, in the Tang army's rear formation, Deng Ai hurriedly escorted Guan Yu back.  When Wen Han and Xu Huang saw this, their faces turned pale with fright.  Pang Tong was anxious to teach Fei Yuan's dead soldiers to fire thunder cannons on the middle road.  As Pang Tong's order fell, bursts of thunder and loud noises were heard one after another.  Cao Zhang, who was expecting the Tang army to charge into the rear formation, changed his expression. Seeing hundreds of dark round objects shooting from the air, his heart tightened. He quickly reined in his horse and turned around, shouting and retreating.  Seeing Cao Zhang and a group of Wei army officers and soldiers retreating in confusion, suddenly a stream of flames shot up into the sky, loud noises continued, flying rocks and broken earth flew around, and the sky was covered with smoke and dust, spreading in all directions.  Cao Cao saw this in the rear, fearing that something might happen to his son, he quickly ordered the money to be withdrawn.  With the sound of golden trumpets, all the troops were as crazy as tigers and wolves, and the outnumbered Wei troops retreated one after another.  All the Tang troops were killed as if their souls had been lost, and they were unable to pursue them for a while.  Only Wen Shun and Zhao Yun made trouble in the Wei army's formation, and each killed several Wei generals to express their hatred. After the golden trumpets sounded from the rear formation, they went back and led their troops to withdraw.

    There have been several battles in the past few days, but today is the most violent, with the most heavy casualties.  What was originally a fight between two hundred and two people ended up being a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people.  The Wei army not only broke down two generals, Lu Meng and Ding Feng, but also broke down the pillars in the courtyard to show evil.  Although later, the Wei army relied on its bloody nature and Jia Xu attacked with thunderbolt chariots and defeated the Tang army.  But for Cao Cao, even if he could kill 100,000 Tang soldiers, he would not sacrifice the life of his beloved general Dian Wei.  On the other side, the Tang army was defeated, but fortunately, they relied on thunder and artillery to turn the tide.  However, the brutality of this battle seemed to cast a shadow over the generals and soldiers of the Tang army.

    The Tang army lost nearly 20,000 soldiers in this battle, Quan Cong was beheaded, and Guan Yu and Wang Shuang were seriously injured and were in danger.  Emperor Wenhan of the Tang Dynasty was heartbroken and his heart was on fire.  Hua Tuo was already old, so his disciple Hua An fought with the army this time.  Hua An finished diagnosing and treating Guan Yu and Wang Shuang. Although they applied gold wound medicine to them, it was difficult to cure their internal injuries.  Wen Han was worried that something might happen to Guan Yu and Wang Shuang.  Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Wen Shun, Deng Ai and other generals were also worried and had no intention of starting another war.

    On the other side, in the Wei army stronghold, Cao Cao saw Dian Wei's body and cried endlessly. Everyone in the army was moved and cried sadly when they heard about it.

    In these days of fighting, the Wei army suffered repeated defeats in the first two formations. Although they won today's battle, they also suffered a lot of casualties, losing nearly 50,000 troops and horses.  The Tang army also lost nearly 30,000 soldiers.  The two armies fought fiercely and hated each other., there is a strong tendency to fight to the end without stopping.

    After this battle, both the Wei and Western Tang armies seemed unwilling to act rashly.  A few days later, Guan Yu and Wang Shuang's injuries gradually stabilized, but they were still in a coma.  Wen Han urgently ordered people to escort Guan Yu and Wang Shuang back to Anyi to recuperate.

    That night, in the pavilion of Hulao Pass, Wen Han was discussing the war with a group of civil and military officials.  Suddenly, the situation outside the pass changed, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.  At this time, Pang Tongzheng held his hand and obeyed.

    "Reporting to your majesty, I watched the astronomy at night and saw that the Bi star is in the middle of the twelfth lunar month. There will be heavy rain in this month. It is also advisable to build shelters in the city to prevent rain. When the rain comes, the Wei army will camp outside, and the people will  If there is too much chaos, there will be more diseases. If the generals withdraw their troops and attack them immediately, they will surely win."

    Hearing this, Wen Han frowned, but secretly felt an ominous feeling in his heart, and said in a condensed voice.

    "If heavy rain comes, it may be difficult to use weapons. What if the Wei army not only refuses to withdraw, but instead attacks with full force?"

    After hearing this, Pang Tong smiled lightly, his eyes sparkling, and replied.

    "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. According to the astronomy, this heavy rain will not stop for at least the next 30 days. By then, the area outside Hulao Pass will be all concrete. If the Wei invaders forcefully attack, we will lead our troops to defend the dangerous pass.  , Isn¡¯t it necessary?¡±

    When Wenhan heard this, he felt certain in his heart and nodded.

    "This is like this, it can teach all the troops to prepare for rain in advance. Keep your energy and sharpness, and when the heavy rain passes, it will be the time to win with the Wei invaders!!"

    As soon as Wen Han said this, the eyes of all the civil and military officials brightened up, their spirits were high, and they all secretly thought, this is really God helping the Western Tang Dynasty to conquer the world!

    On the other side, in the Wei army's stronghold, all the Wei officials, both civil and military, were impatient and restless.  Hao Zhao looked cold and reported in a condensed voice.

    "Your Majesty! There has been no movement for many days. Our soldiers are numerous and powerful, so we should have taken the initiative to attack them. However, due to the advice of villains, the opportunity to fight was delayed, which repeatedly caused the morale of our army to be greatly reduced. According to the last general's opinion, this is  There must be no further delay. Your Majesty, why don't you give the order early and lead the troops to attack?  If your Majesty is willing to use thunder and artillery to attack him, Hulao Pass will be broken in no time! Wouldn't he be able to capture Chang'an immediately?"

    Hao Zhao's voice was loud and his face was filled with determination to die. As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight soldiers from the tent came out one after another and echoed.  Cao Zhang pondered for a while, his golden eyes lit up, and then he stepped out and echoed.  But Sima Zhao, the villain pointed by Hao Zhao, closed his eyes to rest, not knowing what he was thinking about.  Cao Cao looked thoughtful and said nothing.  At this time, Cao Ren, the general of the army, also walked out and handed over his hands.

    "I think what Hao Bodao said is not unreasonable. I wonder what your Majesty's decision is?"

    Suddenly, a gust of cool wind came, and it was continuous. The flags outside the tent made a "pop" sound, and from time to time there were loud noises, which seemed to be crumbling.  Sima Zhao opened his eyes, two rays of light shot out, and hurried out of the tent.  Cao Cao also noticed the details and followed Sima Zhao out.  Most of the Wei ministers, civil and military officials, looked at a loss and quickly followed suit.  Sima Zhao rushed out, looked up, and then made divination in the palm of his hand.  Soon, Sima Zhao laughed, bowed his hands to Cao Cao.

    "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. It is clear that the sky is bright, the stars are twinkling in the lunar sky, and there will be heavy rain soon. As shown in the hexagrams, there is a faint destiny of the heavenly stems. If your Majesty can grasp it, you will definitely win the world!!"

    When Cao Cao heard this, his face was shocked, and he turned to look at Jia Xu.  Jia Xu was also looking at the sky. After looking away, he looked at Cao Cao and nodded slightly.  Cao Cao was shocked and asked Sima Zhao anxiously.

    "When will the heavy rain come?"

    "In less than three days, Your Majesty can teach the troops to set up shelters. Fortunately, Your Majesty has taken precautions and set up rain shelters in each camp of the army."

    Sima Zhao saluted hurriedly and replied.  Cao Cao was overjoyed and laughed heartily.  It turned out that Cao Cao had been prepared earlier and was waiting for this heavy rain.  Cao Ren couldn't help but frown when he heard this and asked in a deep voice.

    "If this heavy rain comes, if it lasts for a long time, it will be hard to go deep into the dangerous obstacles and dig the road forward. Even if the pass is broken, the mountains and slopes are steep and slippery, and the crowd will not push forward, and the food will be far away and it will be difficult to continue.  It is a big taboo to march. Why is your Majesty so happy?"

    When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed, but did not answer.  Cao Ren's face changed slightly, and he looked anxiously at Jia Xu. Jia Xu secretly made a gesture, either because he didn't know, or because he signaled Cao Ren not to ask.  Seeing this, Cao Ren had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.  As a result, both Wei and Tang were preparing for the coming heavy rain.  Sure enough, within a few months, it rained heavily and kept dripping wet.  Within a few days, outside Hulao Pass, the water was more than a foot deep on the flat ground. The weapons were all wet. People could not sleep and were restless day and night.  Wenhan would feel frightened almost every day, and his brows would beat from time to time, as if a disaster was imminent.?Ordered to teach the generals and prepare them closely.  On the other hand, Wenhan was worried about the injuries of Guan Yu and Wang Shuang. Fortunately, the sentry horse came to report that Guan Yu and Wang Shuang were temporarily resting in Hejian City. At the same time, documents were sent from various checkpoints. The two miracle doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing had been working overnight.  Set off and rush to rescue.

    After Wenhan learned about it, he felt a little relieved. It was getting dark and it was raining continuously.  Wenhan was at the window of the pavilion, watching the scene outside the pass. The heavy rain outside was continuous, as if it wanted to swallow up the whole world.  Suddenly, Xu Huang walked in. Wen Han heard this familiar step and knew who it was. He turned around and smiled.

    "Gongming, you are here."

    Xu Huang bowed his hands in salute. After the salute, his expression darkened, and with a deep look of worry in his eyes, he asked Wen Han.

    "Your Majesty, is there any news about my second brother and Ziquan?"

    "Well. You came just in time, and I have just received the information. Now the second brother and Ziquan are recuperating in Hejian City. The two miracle doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing have rushed there. With these two people, the second brother and Ziquan will definitely  Be safe and sound.¡±

    Wenhan said calmly, but he deliberately concealed his inner anxiety.  After hearing this, Xu Huang's spirits were shaken, his eyes were full of joy, and he seemed relieved.  Wenhan's expression immediately condensed and he asked again.

    "Besides this matter, does fourth brother have anything else to do?"

    Wenhan's sword eyes shimmer, as if he could see through people's hearts.  Xu Huang's heart tightened, knowing that it would be difficult to hide it from Wen Han, so he immediately answered.

    "Reporting to Your Majesty. It has been raining heavily for several days. The barbarians living outside have all complained and want to enter the pass to take shelter from the rain. However, the pass has been overcrowded. We and other Western Tang sergeants still have more than 100,000 people living outside. Where can we place these barbarians? At the end of the day,  I don¡¯t dare to make any decisions without authorization, so please give me your signal.¡±

    Wenhan's face darkened, he pondered for a while, and then asked suddenly.

    "How many wounded soldiers are there outside the customs?"

    Xu Huang heard this and although he didn't know what Wen Han wanted to do, he still answered.

    "Reporting to Your Majesty, the former general has tried his best to make room for the wounded soldiers to rest in accordance with His Majesty's orders. Even so, there are probably more than a thousand wounded soldiers in the armies outside the pass."

    "Okay, here's my order. Send all the wounded soldiers outside the pass into the pass. My residence here is spacious, and then we will clear up a few places. If we squeeze them in, we should be able to place these wounded soldiers."

    Wen Han smiled slightly, Xu Huang looked surprised and asked quickly.

    "Your Majesty, please vacate this place, what about Your Majesty?"

    "I can just set up camp outside the pass."

    Wenhan smiled calmly, but Xu Huang's face was full of shock. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wenhan.

    "No need to say more. If I am willing to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, the barbarians will not dare to complain anymore. Also earlier, many soldiers in the army were slightly injured, but they were afraid that it would be difficult to relocate in the pass, so they did not dare to report truthfully. You tell me  I have ordered that all those who are injured should be sent to the detention center to rest and recuperate."

    Although Wenhan said it with a smile, his tone was unquestionable.  Xu Huang knew that once Wenhan made up his mind, there would be no room for turning back, so he had no choice but to leave.
