I saw the silver light coming continuously with bared teeth and claws. Cao Zhang's heart was shaken, and he hurriedly danced his sword to attack, but his golden dragon posture was suppressed by the silver dragon, as if a young dragon was afraid of an adult dragon. In a daze, Cao Zhang saw the Silver Light Divine Dragon open its mouth wide and bite at it. He quickly twisted his sword to block it. The power of the silver dragon was shocking, the giant sword swung away with a bang, and the dragon's claws flew towards it. In the midst of lightning and flint, Cao Zhang bit his tongue fiercely. The severe pain made Cao Zhang suddenly come back to his senses. He saw Zhao Yun stretching his dragon arm to pull his armor. If you are captured and become a prisoner of others, the humiliation is even worse than dying at the hands of others. Cao Zhang was unwilling at all, roaring loudly, and suddenly raised his hand to grab Zhao Yun's dragon arm. Zhao Yunlong's eyes widened and he pushed hard. The huge force of his palm was like a mountain hitting him. Cao Zhang screamed in pain and was overthrown by Zhao Yun. At this moment, there was a commotion on the right, and a silver-armored general broke through with a halberd, it was Jiang Weiye. When Jiang Wei saw Cao Zhang fall from his horse, he shouted angrily, raised his halberd and came to fight Zhao Yun. At this time, Wei soldiers from all over the place swarmed in large numbers. Zhao Yun frowned and did not want to be entangled anymore. He flew towards Jiang Wei on Pegasus and stabbed Jiang Wei with one shot. Jiang Wei twisted his halberd to block it. The golden roc bird and the silver dragon were fighting each other, but the silver dragon was still invincible. Zhao Yun swung away Jiang Wei's gun, stabbed him sideways and looked at the crowd of Wei soldiers in the sky to kill him. Jiang Wei was worried about Cao Zhang's injury and did not pursue him. He came to visit Cao Zhang first. Cao Zhang had a ferocious look on his face. He stood up quickly, jumped on his horse, and yelled at Jiang Wei with murderous intent.
"Bo Yue, you and I will kill this Zhao Zilong together!!"
After Cao Zhang finished drinking, without waiting for Jiang Wei's reply, he reined in his horse and charged forward. Jiang Wei was afraid that Cao Zhang would make a mistake, so he quickly followed him. At this time, Zhao Yun had led the Black Wind Cavalry into the heart of the Wei army, killing the surrounding Wei soldiers and causing them to fall into chaos. When Cao Zhang saw that Zhao Yun was so arrogant and regarded his army of hundreds of thousands as nothing, he was furious and chased after him with whips. At some unknown time, Wen Shun and Deng Ai each led a fine cavalry, tore two rifts, and were heading for a sudden attack. Cao Zhang heard the chaos ahead, looked around and saw Wen Shun. Wen Shun also met Cao Zhang. The two seemed to be incompatible old enemies. Once they met, they would fight to the death. Immediately, Wen Shun and Cao Zhang each reined up their horses to greet him, and they fought together. When Jiang Wei and Deng Ai met, it was as if they were enemies. They each carried weapons and flew to fight. Although several cavalry units of the Tang Army clashed in the heart of the Wei army, at the point where the two armies met, the Wei soldiers had the upper hand, and many teams had already entered the hinterland of the Tang army's formation. If Emperor Wenhan of the Tang Dynasty had not guarded the hinterland, the Tang army would have been defeated and dispersed soon.
"Fake emperor, please accept your fate!!!"
A powerful general from the Wei army rushed towards him with his flying horse and sword drawn. Wen Han's face was cold, and he galloped forward. The spear in his hand suddenly stabbed like a torrent of water. The Wei army general was unable to resist, and was knocked off his horse by Wen Han's shot. When the surrounding Tang troops saw this, they shouted loudly and their morale was high. Wen Han hurriedly ordered the sergeants to counterattack. At the same time, he looked at the endless wave of Wei soldiers, with a deep look of worry, and secretly cursed in his heart.
"Zilong, I have to rely on you again this time!!"
Zhao Yun seemed to have a spiritual connection with Wen Han, and suddenly he rushed forward risking his life, and had already reached the Wei army's rear formation. In the rear formation, there were 70,000 to 80,000 Wei soldiers forming an iron wall. Judging from Zhao Yun's formation, he wanted to capture Cao Cao and force the Wei army to withdraw. But this is not easy, it is undoubtedly difficult to reach the sky. However, it seems that there are already arrangements. Zhao Yun is destined to be a legend in his life!
When Cao Cao saw Zhao Yun coming for a sudden attack, his face was filled with astonishment, and his eyes were filled with light. He regarded Zhao Yun as a god, and he hurriedly clapped his horse and neighed.
"Zhao Zilong, you have such ghosts and gods, why don't you surrender to me. I am willing to reward you with Bingzhou, Hedong, Hejian and other places, so that you can be the king of Bingzhou, and your heirs will always occupy the throne. All people of your Zhao family, Stand side by side with the Great Wei Emperor for generations!¡±
As soon as Cao Cao said this, all the Wei generals around him turned pale with horror. Such rewards were unprecedented in ancient and modern times. If Zhao Yun agrees to his promise, he and his heirs will become kings worthy of standing side by side with the Emperor of Wei! Such an alluring reward is enough to drive nine out of ten heroes in the world crazy and tempted. However, Cao Cao despised Zhao Yun's loyalty too much. Zhao Yun's face was full of anger, he pointed his gun at Cao Cao and shouted.
"Old thief, don't have any wishful thinking, I, Zhao Zilong, would rather beheaded than succumb to your command!!"
After Zhao Yun finished drinking, he galloped forward. All the Black Wind Riders were infected by Zhao Yun's loyalty and swarmed to kill them all. When Cao Cao saw this, his expression changed drastically and he hurried back to the rear. Seeing Zhao Yun's sudden attack, Cao Ren quickly ordered his soldiers to come forward to stop him, and at the same time ordered his crossbowmen to attack him with random arrows. Zhao Yun held the silver gentian spear in his hand, danced like an airtight weapon, and charged forward to attack. The Night Shine Jade Lion is protected by armor, but it is not afraid of the random arrows. Cao Ren saw that Zhao Yun was getting faster and faster, his expression kept changing, and he quickly ordered the hook and sickle to attack. Zhao Yun reined in his horse and thrust forward diagonally from the left side. Most of his hook and sickle hands rushed to the middle, unable to react in time. Suddenly, Zhao Yun turned his horse around and suddenly attackedBeside Cao Ren, he roared, like a dragon roaring. Cao Ren's expression changed drastically and he was in a panic. The crossbowmen did not dare to fire their arrows for fear of hurting Cao Ren, but Zhao Yun forced a charge. The Night Shine Jade Lion was like a wild lion, rushing away groups of people. Seeing that Zhao Yun is invincible and unstoppable. Cao Ren was so frightened that he reined in his horse and ran away. As soon as Cao Ren left, the surrounding Wei soldiers suddenly became confused and their morale was low. Zhao Yun followed closely and the Black Wind Riders on the left and right behind him also swarmed up. Under the bravery of Zhao Yun and a group of black wind riders, the 70,000 to 80,000 Wei soldiers in the Wei army's rear formation were like chickens and dogs.
Suddenly, Cao Ren changed his bow and arrow and looked at Zhao Yun to shoot an arrow from his back. The arrows flew suddenly, a turtle and a snake merged into one body, and the Xuanwu phase suddenly appeared. However, Zhao Yun was well prepared. The spear came out, and the silver light divine dragon suddenly appeared, and the spear pierced the incoming cold arrow. Cao Ren saw that he could not deceive Zhao Yun, so he reined in his horse and wanted to come back to fight. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun suddenly dashed forward with his flying horse and stabbed towards Cao Cao diagonally. Cao Cao was so shocked that his face turned pale, and his whole body tensed up. Suddenly, his head seemed to burst. He screamed in pain, his body swayed, and he fell from his horse.
"Ouch! It hurts me, it hurts me!!"
When Jia Xu saw this, he was frightened and panicked. He rushed to see Cao Cao and saw Cao Cao rolling on the ground, his facial features twisted, as if he was suffering from unimaginable pain. If something unexpected happens to Cao Cao, the situation will plummet and Wei will be unable to protect himself. Jia Xu didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and all the generals of the Wei army around him were so frightened by this sudden change that they seemed to have lost their souls. Jia Xu made a decisive decision and ordered the troops to withdraw. At the same time, he also taught the generals to support Cao Cao in withdrawing. When Zhao Yun saw the chaos in Cao Cao's place, he was overjoyed. He secretly thought, "God help me." He rushed to kill Cao Cao with flying horses and guns drawn. The two Tiger Guards looked like crazy and rushed towards them to fight. Cao Ren also urgently led troops to fight. Zhao Yun was unable to make a surprise attack for a while, but then he heard the sound of golden trumpets and drums in the Wei army's formation. Zhao Yun thought quickly and quickly led his troops to open a gap, then broke through. When Cao Ren saw Zhao Yun leaving, he was afraid that Zhao Yun would come back by fraud, so he ordered the Tiger Guards to cover up and kill him. Cao Ren, on the other hand, hurriedly led the rear troops and quickly withdrew. As the Wei army sounded the golden sound, the Wei soldiers who were killed in the front quickly retreated. Wen Han looked overjoyed and led his troops to cover up the killing. After a while of fighting, the two armies were exhausted. So the Wei army retreated in groups, and soon the Tang army also returned to the pass.
Here, another brutal battle finally ended. The Wei soldiers were numerous and powerful, and they borrowed Pili chariots at the beginning to take advantage of them. The Tang army suffered numerous casualties, among which more than half of the barbarian troops suffered casualties. Generals such as Zhong Hui, Xu Gai, and Zhao Tong were all seriously injured. However, given the bad fighting conditions at the time, it was a great blessing among misfortunes that these young generals were able to save their lives. . And Zhao Yun, Wen Shun, Deng Ai and other brave generals also lost their honors one after another. Among them, Zhao Yun suffered the most injuries, but fortunately they were all superficial injuries.
At this time, in front of Hulao Pass, there was a bloody color, corpses were everywhere, and the accumulated water was dyed blood red. At first glance, the soldiers who closed the gate felt their scalp numb and their whole body trembling. In this battle, the Tang army suffered nearly 60,000 casualties. Although the Wei army was forced by Zhao Yun's power and Cao Cao withdrew due to illness, they still had the upper hand and suffered no more than 20,000 to 30,000 casualties. It was a great victory.
However, the generals and soldiers of the Wei army were not happy at all, and they were all extremely worried about Cao Cao's condition. At dusk, in the Wei army stronghold, Cao Cao's headache was getting better, in order to appease the morale of the army. Cao Cao strengthened his spirit, summoned all the generals to his account, and rewarded them one by one. All the generals were overjoyed to see that Cao Cao was fine. Immediately after Cao Cao discussed with Jia Xu, he ordered the stronghold to rise up overnight and approach Hulao Pass. The generals took orders and went out one after another. Sima Zhao first led the 100,000 soldiers who were stationed in the camp today and had not gone out to fight, and set out first to prepare for the Tang army's attack.
On the other side, in Hulao Pass, Wen Han was discussing with a group of civil and military officials. Suddenly, soldiers came to report, and most of the Wei army came to the pass more than ten miles away. Wen Han's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked anxiously at Pang Tong. Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, cupped his hands and said.
"This must be because the old thief relied on his own strength and won a big victory today. He wants to turn against the enemy and press forward step by step. He wants to make our army disorganized and then gradually weaken our army's power until we break Hulao Pass!!"
As soon as Pang Tong finished speaking, Zhao Yunlong stared and said sternly.
"Your Majesty has no worries. If you lead an army to attack, you will definitely make the Wei invaders leave in embarrassment!!"
"No. Marquis Long has been engaged in fierce battles today. Although most of his injuries are superficial injuries, he still needs to rest and recuperate. Marquis Long is now a pillar in the courtyard of the army. If by any chance, the morale of our army is low, we will be slaughtered by the Wei invaders! !¡±
Pang Tong heard this and waved his hand to refuse. Zhao Yun looked anxious and was about to speak, but Wen Han nodded.
"What the Prime Minister said is true. Your safety, Zilong, is related to the survival of the entire Western Tang Dynasty. Don't be rash or rash!"
"But if our army doesn't take any action, wouldn't it be even more arrogant for Wei Kou to think that our army is weak?"
Zhao Yun pondered for a while and finally expressed his worries. At this time, Wen Shun and Deng Ai looked at each other, stepped forward to attend, and drank together.
"Your Majesty,Don't worry too much. I'm waiting to go! ! "
Wenhan took a closer look and saw that it was his son and Deng Ai, Xu Huang, Guan Xing and other generals who all wanted to speak. However, Wenhan responded earlier.
"Okay! You can quickly lead the troops to investigate, but don't be careful and don't go too deep!"
When Wen Shun and Deng Ai heard this, they looked happy and responded. All the generals admired Wenhan for his selflessness and his willingness to risk his own life for the sake of important military affairs. Pang Tong immediately remonstrated.
"Wei's troops are numerous and powerful. Your Majesty still needs to order a general to lead troops and respond later, just in case."
As soon as Pang Tong finished speaking, Xu Huang came out to ask for orders, followed by Guan Xing. Wen Han promised it. Xu Huang and Guan Xing accepted the promise and came out. It is said that Sima Zhao led his troops to come first, and it was getting dark now. Wei soldiers everywhere were holding torches, and the fires shone with bursts of frightening red color. Sima Zhao looked solemn and sighed in his heart.
"I don't know how many lives have been sacrificed in this battle! The so-called empire is built with human lives!"
Just as Sima Zhao had this thought, a scout suddenly came to report that there was a troop of soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass approaching to attack. Sima Zhao's face was shocked and he quickly taught the troops to prepare. After a while, there was a cry of killing from the front. I saw the first general wearing Qinglin armor and sitting on a black horse. Isn't it none other than the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty, Wen Zixi? ?
Sima Zhao's heart tightened, his expression changed continuously, and he suddenly rode out, with tens of thousands of crossbowmen on the left and right pulling their bows and strings. Sima Zhao flew out and shouted.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Wen Shun was about to charge, but he didn't know that the Wei soldiers were already prepared, and they were all ready to fight. Wen Shun's expression suddenly changed, and suddenly he heard a familiar cry of killing again. His expression suddenly changed, he became twisted and ferocious, and he yelled with gritted teeth.
Sima Zhao heard the strong murderous intent in Wen Shun's voice, sighed with great regret, and said silently.
"The younger brother and the elder brother are their own masters. Although I used the elder brother in the past, it was for loyalty. The younger brother has a clear conscience, how can he be shameless?"
"Hahahahaha!!! Okay! Okay!! Okay!!! Little thief, what is your name!?"
When Wen Shun heard this, he laughed angrily and cheered repeatedly. His whole body was full of momentum, his eyes were red and full of blood, and he asked sternly.
"My younger brother's surname is Sima, his given name is Zhao, and his courtesy name is Zishang."
At this moment, Sima Zhao no longer concealed anything and told the truth. Wen Shun's face grew colder and his eyes glowed coldly, and he immediately asked again.
"Who are you, Sima Zhongda?"
"It's my father."
Sima Zhao replied calmly. Wen Shun took a breath of air. Regarding the grievances between the Sima family and his own, he had heard his great-grandfather Wen Xing talk about it. The Sima family had always resented his family for taking away his destiny. The two families were incompatible.
