Wen Shun murmured in his mouth, with a look of pain in his eyes, then he sighed heavily, glared with his sword, and shouted decisively.
"Sima Zishang, you and I have already severed all ties! Today our army suffered a disastrous defeat, with nearly tens of thousands of soldiers and horses killed and injured, all because I mistakenly believed in the traitor. From now on, you and I will only have sworn hatred!!"
As soon as Wen Shun shouted, Yang Ku, who was behind Wen Shun, couldn't bear it anymore. His red and charming eyes were full of hatred. He galloped out with a horizontal knife in his hand and shouted angrily.
¡°You thief, give back my father¡¯s life!!!¡±
The sheep flew across the horse and looked at Sima Zhao. General Wei, one of the several officers, saw this with keen eyesight and immediately ordered to fire arrows. At this time, Sima Zhao's face was full of shock. Looking at the ferocious face of the withered sheep, the face of the kind old man from a few years ago suddenly flashed in his mind. When Sima Zhao came to his senses, random arrows were fired, and they were shot at Yang Ku in pieces. Yang Ku shouted angrily, slashed with his sword, deflected arrows and looked straight at Sima Zhao to kill him. Wen Shun was afraid that the sheep would be lost, so he quickly rode his horse and charged with his gun. Deng Ai immediately led his troops to advance forward. When Sima Zhao saw the Tang army approaching, his expression changed continuously and he hesitated to speak. Finally, he sighed and retreated behind the formation with the support of several Wei generals. It was too late, but it was too soon. Yang Ku was the first to kill, and the horizontal sword in his hand was dancing so tightly that it was so brave that the Wei soldiers could not resist and were killed immediately. In the midst of lightning and flint, Wen Shun arrived on flying horse. The two immediately rode together to fight, looking straight at Sima Zhao coming to kill him. Sima Zhao had returned to the rear formation and immediately mobilized his troops and horses. The trumpets and drums were blasting. The troops followed the order and moved around to kill them. In an instant, like a surging wave, Wei soldiers and horses were everywhere in sight. Wen Shun and Yang Ku fought desperately, but could not break through the Wei army's defense line. The sound of the drums became louder and more urgent, and Wei generals from all over the place secretly fired arrows to attack. After all, Yang Ku was young, and it was his first time on the battlefield, and now he was filled with rage and lost all his sense. Suddenly, Yang Ku avoided several cold arrows and retreated to attack the Wei soldiers, who were about to advance in a surprise attack. A cold arrow shot suddenly, and Yang Ku couldn't resist it. He only felt a pain in his right shoulder, but he had already been hit by the arrow. The surrounding Wei soldiers saw this and quickly stepped up their offensive, hoping to capture and kill Yang Ku. Wen Shun saw it with keen eyes and quickly flew to kill the sheep, protecting the sheep. Yang Ku roared loudly, pulled out the arrow, looked at Sima Zhao under the firelight in the distance, and roared with a heart-breaking roar.
"You thief, I am incompatible with the situation!!"
While Yang Ku was drinking and talking, a hundred thousand Wei soldiers had already surrounded Gaixin and were fighting. Deng Ai rushed over on Pegasus and shouted to Wen Shun anxiously.
"Prince, the Wei invaders are numerous and powerful, and they have been prepared for it. If we are strong and attack suddenly, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous!!"
Wen Shun's face was cold and his mind was racing. He quickly made up his mind and shouted loudly, telling the troops to withdraw. As soon as Wen Shun gave the order, he drew his horse and turned, thrusting his sword backwards and forwards. Wherever the Wei army was willing to give up, they swarmed in pursuit. Deng Ai hurriedly led his troops to follow and killed most of the Wei soldiers. Yang Ku gnashed his teeth and followed Deng Ai to fight together, with a strong momentum of unending death. After a while, Wen Shun had already broken through and charged out. Deng Ai looked happy and shouted anxiously to Yang Ku.
"Uncle, don't get entangled with this Wei bandit, retreat quickly!!"
Yang Ku¡¯s face was full of hatred, he stared at Sima Zhao and shouted angrily.
"General Deng, please retreat first, I want to avenge my father!!"
When the sheep wither and drink, the galloping horses will rush forward. Fortunately, Deng Ai had anticipated it, reined in his horse, blocked his head, and shouted loudly.
"Uncle Yang, this is a military order, how dare you disobey it!? The current situation is unstable, but you are actually a lieutenant in the army. You should put national affairs first and the overall situation as your top priority. When the winner is decided, don't you fear that you will not have the chance to take revenge!" ?¡±
Deng Ai¡¯s voice was loud and majestic. Yang Ku's heart was shocked, so he suppressed his anger and nodded in response. Suddenly, several cold arrows were shot at him, and Deng Ai quickly dodged. Fortunately, he was quick and able to avoid them all. But at some point, Sima Zhao rode his horse forward and shot a cold arrow. Seeing Deng Ai avoid him, Sima Zhao secretly felt regretful. Deng Ai was one of the younger generals of the Western Tang Dynasty. If he could be shot or captured, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Western Tang army. After Sima Zhao finished thinking, he suddenly shouted.
"Deng Shizai, take a break and run away. Let's see how I, Sima Zishang, can capture you!!"
After Sima Zhao finished drinking, he prepared to fire arrows again. Yang Ku was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but Deng Ai shouted first.
"Don't pay any attention to it, this is what the traitor is trying to do!!"
After Deng Ai said this, he shot the sheep with his gun and sat down on the horse. The horse roared, flew up and charged. Deng Ai then turned his horse and retreated. Sima Zhao hurriedly fired arrows, but Deng Ai twisted his spear and swept them away. As he retreated, he picked off several Wei generals one after another, showing his utmost bravery. When Sima Zhao saw Deng Ai escaping, his face was tense and regretful, so he ordered the army to cover up and kill him. As a result, all the Wei armies moved forward in a surge. At this moment, the fires in front of them shone brightly, and a large number of Tang soldiers and horses were seen heading towards to kill. When Sima Zhao saw this, his heart trembled. He didn't want to fight with the Tang army, so he gave orders anxiously., teach all the troops to stop and keep their positions and prepare. It was Xu Huang's troops who were rushing towards them. Seeing that Wen Shun, Deng Ai and other generals were coming one after another, Xu Huang felt relieved and ordered the crossbowmen to go forward, while the rest of the troops retreated slowly. One night passed, but all the soldiers of the Tang army in Hulao Pass had no intention of falling asleep and were restless. Two days later, the Wei army established a company camp in front of Hulao Pass. But Wenhan did not dare to act rashly because the thunder cannon and gunpowder were damp. During this time, Pang Tong proposed a plan to burn the Wei army's baggage to force the Wei army to withdraw, but was discovered by Jia Xu and returned in vain. After the company camp was set up, Cao Cao and a group of soldiers moved to the front camp. The Tang army in Hulao Pass saw that the Wei army was more than ten miles away, and it was difficult to sleep or eat well. Cao Cao issued an order that day, instructing Sima Zhao to lead a thunderbolt chariot to attack the pass, and ordered Hao Zhao, Jiang Wei and other generals to lead troops to support him. Nearly a thousand thunderbolt chariots continued to hit them with flying stones. After closing the gate, the Tang troops fled everywhere and came to report Wen Han one after another. When Wen Han heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly discussed countermeasures with all the civil and military officials. Xu Huang looked solemn and cupped his hands to report.
"The Wei invaders attacked the pass with thunderbolt chariots from a distance, and there were two strong generals, Jiang Boyue and Hao Bodao, guarding the left and right sides. If they send troops to attack, it may not be easy. According to the general's opinion, your majesty can teach the soldiers to follow the pass Withdraw, but secretly ambush in the pass to show off. If the Wei invaders fall into the trap and attack in large numbers, the soldiers in the pass will just listen to the order and shoot them with random arrows, and they will definitely win! "
When Wenhan heard this, his eyes flashed and he looked at Pang Tong. Pang Tong bowed his head and replied.
"Gong Xu's plan is very clever, your Majesty can give it a try!!"
Wenhan's face was shocked after hearing this, and he followed Xu Huang's plan and quickly made arrangements. As Wen Han's order was issued, the generals in the pass quickly led their troops to withdraw and rushed into the pass to ambush. Xu Huang and Meng You then led their respective deployments and ambush in hidden places in the mountains behind the pass. They waited for the Wei invaders to attack and followed orders to come out of the pass to fight.
¡° Let¡¯s say that Sima Zhao, Jiang Wei, and Hao Zhao, three young talents, are leading troops to fight in front of Hulao Pass. Suddenly, a sentry horse came to report that almost all the Tang soldiers had withdrawn at Yanguan Pass, leaving only a few hundred men and horses. After hearing this, Hao Zhao's eyes lit up and he laughed.
"I often heard how brave and good the soldiers and horses of the Western Tang Dynasty were in the early days, but what I saw today is nothing more than that!!"
Hao Zhao looked happy, but Jiang Wei and Sima Zhao looked calm. Jiang Wei thought for a while, shook his head and said.
"No. The Western Tang Dynasty has always been strict in running the army. The reason why it is famous today is because of its officers and soldiers who were brave enough to fight without fear of death. They have been so strong for a long time. How could they be so weak? I see this. There must be some fraud!¡±
After Jiang Wei finished speaking, the youngest Sima Zhao also nodded in agreement and spoke slowly.
"What General Jinpeng said is absolutely true. There are many brave generals in the Western Tang Army, and there are countless scheming ones. Now that they are showing off weakly, there is a nine-tenth chance that they are deceitful. If Zhao's prediction is correct, the Tang Army will definitely be ambushing in the pass. , wait for us to go to fight, and attack suddenly, trying to catch us by surprise!"
As soon as Sima Zhao said this, Hao Zhao was not an ignorant person. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was very possible, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said in a condensed voice.
"The people of the Tang Dynasty are cunning, and I almost fell into their tricks! As it turns out, we can take a stronghold here and attack them with thunderbolt chariots. If this continues for days, even if Hulao Pass is the most dangerous pass in the world, it will be razed to the ground! At that time, the Tang people have nothing to hold on to, and if we attack with millions of heroes, we will surely kill them and leave no trace of them behind!"
What Hao Zhao said was in line with Sima Zhao and Jiang Wei's wishes, so the three discussed for a while and then continued to attack the pass with thunderbolt chariots. There were endless roars, and the gravel and dust spread everywhere. Xu Huang and other generals complained secretly when they saw that the Wei army had not moved for a long time.
But it was said that Cao Ren was in the camp looking at the battle situation in front of Hulao Pass, when suddenly a sentry horse came to report, specifically what happened in Hulao Pass. Cao Ren was overjoyed, but when he saw that Sima Zhao and others were motionless, he couldn't help but frown and shouted coldly to the general beside him.
¡°Fetch me the horse!!¡±
Seeing that Cao Ren had an angry look on his face, General Pi didn't dare to neglect him. As soon as he said so, he hurried away. After a while, Cao Ren got on his horse and drove straight towards Sima Zhao's troops with several generals. There were loud thunderclaps and roars. Cao Ren looked serious and rode into the formation. When Sima Zhao heard that the soldiers had come to report, he looked at each other and rushed to greet Jiang Wei and Hao Zhao. After a while, Cao Ren arrived. Sima Zhao and the others bowed and were about to speak. Cao Ren waved his hand and said.
"The Tang thief is already timid, and there is almost no one guarding the door. It is such a great opportunity, why are you so negligent!?"
Sima Zhao seemed to have expected that Cao Ren would ask such a question. He smiled calmly and explained the clues in detail one by one. After hearing this, Cao Ren pondered, seemingly dubious. Sima Zhao bowed again and said slowly.
"If the general doesn't believe it, Zhao has his own way to teach these Tang thieves to show their flaws!"
"Oh?"Let¡¯s give it a try. "
Cao Ren raised his eyebrows, his eyes focused, and he said with interest.
