At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 102: Defending Qimen Pass

"Yes."

Chen Gong nodded: "In a blink of an eye, we have followed the general for more than ten years. At that time, he was still a centurion and we were just crossbowmen."

"No wonder the general relies so much on General Chen and General Lu."

The soldiers were very envious.

"Just say it."

Zhuge Shou came over, snatched half of the pancake from Chen Gong's hand, and ate it in two bites.

He was still not satisfied and said, "It just happened that I was gone. What bad luck."

"Drink of water."

Chen Gong handed over the kettle.

"The Northern Wei barbarians are just like that."

Gao Li rested his head on his head and squinted his eyes: "There is nothing to be afraid of. At that time, the general and I with fifty cavalry dared to charge their thousand-man team. Killing them back and forth was like chopping melons and vegetables."

"You still have the nerve to say that."

Chen Gong looked at him with disdain: "If the general hadn't blocked the arrow for you, you would have been dead long ago."

"You speak as if the general didn't block the arrows for you."

Gao Li exposed his past: "Back at Baimayuan, the general blocked two arrows for you."

"Haha."

Chen Gong smiled awkwardly.

On the city wall.

The soldiers gathered in groups of three or four, chatting about their childhood sweethearts, their elderly parents, or comparing who had killed more Northern Wei barbarians.

soon.

Hundreds of baskets of sesame cakes were delivered to the top of the wall, along with dozens of buckets of tea.

"This kind of wealth and prosperity was something I never dared to think about before."

Zhuge Shou sighed.

When fighting in Jizhou, not to mention the unlimited supply of meat pies and tea, it was common to go without food or water for two or three days.

Only by living in a cold and bitter land like Jiyou and engaging in extensive military aggression could one raise 300,000 iron cavalrymen who could dominate the world.

That is to say, Xiliang has had a good harvest in the past two years, and there is sufficient food and grass in the treasury, and Xiao Han also has a habit.

As long as you have money, you like to stockpile food.

Transport grain back to Xiliang from Yizhou, Jiangnan and other places.

"In another hour or so, once our reinforcements arrive, we will let you go down and have a good night's rest."

Chen Gong yelled.

"After this battle, the general will personally celebrate your victory."

"mighty."

"mighty."

"mighty."

“Undefeated.”

“Undefeated.”

The soldiers of the Black Armor Army also shouted loudly.

All of a sudden.

The mighty and invincible voice on the top of the city shook the earth.

Not only could people in the city hear it clearly, but even the Northern Wei camp could hear it.

"After such a long and hard battle, we still have such high morale."

The Northern Wei military god stood at the gate of the camp. Looking at the majestic pass standing on the Qilian Mountains, he felt an immense headache.

It is true that the person leads the soldiers like him.

As far as he knew, the most powerful Yuyang Prefecture Army in Jizhou was led by this General Pingxi.

And now.

He also led a group of brave soldiers in Xiliang that was no less powerful than the Yuyang Prefecture Army.

"If such a person can be used by the Northern Wei, there is no need to worry about not being able to march into the Central Plains."

The Northern Wei military god sighed.

Unfortunately, he could only imagine it. What he regretted even more was why he did not leave the man in the imperial city.

Letting the tiger go back into the mountains now will turn into a big disaster.

Jizhou alone was enough to give the Northern Wei a headache, and now there is also Xiliang.

He withdrew his gaze and returned to the tent.

"Come here, go ask the three Shatuo tribes why Rabdan hasn't crossed the Shule River yet."

This Northern Wei military god would never have dreamed that Labdan had already been persuaded to surrender by Gu Yun.

And he was on his way with a large army to launch a surprise attack on him.

He thought that even if the three Shatuo tribes betrayed their promise, they would definitely not send troops or just pretend to do so. But he never expected that Labdan and the three Shatuo tribes would turn against each other so thoroughly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The night ends.

After a short rest, the Northern Wei army began to attack the city again.

And at this time.

The cavalry of Xue Yan's three guards led by Tu Baili and Leng Sanqiu also successfully arrived at Qimen Pass.

The addition of 20,000 elite cavalry greatly alleviated the pressure of defending the city.

The drizzle is hazy.

Dark clouds covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

At the same time as the battle of Qimen Pass.

However, under the leadership of the governor's office, the entire Xiliang County carried out spring ploughing in an orderly manner, and was not affected by the Jizhou of the Northern Wei Dynasty at all.

Wars must be fought and crops must be grown. If we only fight wars and don't farm, it will be a disaster.

Even if we win this year, next year will be a disaster year.

The fields that had been reclaimed with great difficulty would become barren again, which was something Xiao Han absolutely could not allow.

Pan Yuanshao even took officials from the Animal Husbandry and Agriculture Bureau to visit each county and town one by one to supervise the spring farming work.

Considering that all the young and strong men in Xue Yan's three guards were pulled to Qimen Pass to guard the city, Pan Yuanshao specially recruited a group of young and strong men from various counties, and at the expense of the government, they were responsible for cultivating the fields in the three guards.

no doubt.

This move made the people of the Xue Yan tribe of the Xue Yan Three Guards even more determined to follow the General Pingxi.

The sky is trapped.

Extremely dangerous.

No less than Qimen Pass.

There are steep cliffs on both sides.

Before this, because Jizhou and Xiliang had not yet torn their relations apart, Jizhou had only 3,000 troops stationed inside the pass.

It was breached by the Northern Wei army, but was recaptured by Zhao Mule who led 3,000 elite swordsmen and shieldmen in order to defend Jizhou.

Miaoyu directly ordered Huluxu to lead 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to station in Tianxian Pass. Together with the original 3,000 people, there were more than 10,000 brave soldiers.

As for Lu Ju.

Together with Xiahou Qing, Luo Wentong and others, he was stationed in Xiliang City, responsible for dispatching food and troops and controlling the overall situation.

"Work faster."

"Dig the pit deeper."

"Don't be polite. Any bamboo branches, anything sharp, bury it in there."

On the west side of Tianxian Pass, Huluxu was leading his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to dig pits, build chevaux de frise and trenches.

"We should also prepare more rolling logs and thunder stones."

Huluxu shouted.

"Old Zhao, do you know who is leading the troops in Jizhou this time?"

Hu Luxu climbed up the city wall, approached Zhao Muli and asked.

"Why do you suddenly care about this issue?"

Zhao Mule frowned.

"Hehe, my brothers didn't get any credit at all in this battle."

Hu Luxu scratched his head and said, "Unlike you, at least you managed to take down Tianxian Pass. When the Imperial Guards return in triumph, I, Old Hu, will be ashamed."

"Don't mess around."

Zhao Mule warned: "General Lu and Miss Miaoyu gave us the task of guarding Tianxian Pass."

“You are not allowed to leave the city to meet the enemy.”

Huluxu had a bitter face. Zhao Muli followed Xiao Han before him, and he was also a soldier from Xiliang Prefecture.

The key is.

Zhao Mule was extremely fierce in both infantry and horse combat.

When on horseback, Huluxu could still fight with him for a hundred or so moves.

After dismounting, he was defeated in fifty moves.

Zhao Mule had spoken, so even if he was unwilling, he had to hold it in.

"but."

Zhao Mule said: "The one leading the troops in Jizhou this time is Pan Feng, the confidant of Marquis Zhenbei."

"I heard from Lu Ju and Chen Gong that when they were in Jizhou, Pan Feng and the general didn't get along."

"And when the Imperial Guards entered Xiliang, he deliberately caused trouble, and ended up having his balls crushed by the general's foot."

"Since there is a grudge, it will be easy to deal with."

Hu Luxu sneered: "You dare to cause trouble for the general, wait and see how I deal with this thing."
