The city is full of Yellow Turbans

Chapter 170, Bloody Battle at Yanmen

"Fengxiao! This is the boundary of Bingzhou. Yanmen and Huguan are both dangerous and powerful passes. If they can't be captured in a short period of time, Bingzhou people and horses will take the opportunity to besiege them. What can I do?" The temporary tent at Xufeng in Huangjin, [-] miles away from Yanmen Pass Among them, Xu Feng rushed to Guo Jiadao with a worried expression on his face.

"My lord, don't worry, no matter Huguan Pass or Yanmen Pass, as long as we break through one place, we can march westward and attack Hulao." Guo Jia comforted.

"Break one place? Feng Xiao, didn't you want to pretend to attack Huguan earlier, but actually ordered Zhang Fei to capture Yanmen Pass? Could it be that you..." Xu Feng was startled suddenly, as if he understood something.

"It's not true, it's true, it's false, as long as you can break through the gates and achieve your goal, that's enough!" Guo Jia smiled and nodded meaningfully.

"you…"

Pointing to the bridge of Guo Jia's nose, Xu Feng burst out laughing, he is worthy of being a ghost, witty and weird, playing cards out of common sense, it really is amazing, I am afraid that Zhang Fei will be a little tired in the valley.

"Set up camp at the same place, and attack Yanmen Pass tomorrow at [-]:[-] am." Less than five miles away from Yanmen Xiongguan, Zhang Fei gave an order, ordering the soldiers to set up camp, bury pots and make food, and rest in place.

Instructing Bo Cai to stay in command, Zhang Fei brought Guan Hai and the two of them to the front of Yanmen Pass on two flying horses. Since the military order was issued, Zhang Fei naturally did not dare to neglect. Zhang Fei, who is usually rough, was also careful when the two soldiers fought. Zhang Fei naturally knows the truth of knowing himself and the enemy.

"Hey! Such a mighty Xiongguan Pass, the terrain is dangerous, the city walls are majestic, and the terrain is rugged. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Riding his horse around Yanmen Pass, Zhang Fei couldn't help but secretly praised him.

Xiongguan is dangerous, and it is indeed not easy to break through.

"Yide! This place is dangerous, and a strong attack may cause heavy casualties. We must think of a good strategy, otherwise our army will die a lot, and the price will be astonishing." Seeing Zhang Fei's frowning, Guan Hai, who was on the side, followed Nodding and sighing.

Zhang Fei sighed heavily, agreeing with Guan Hai's views, but after racking his brains and suffering for a long time, there was still nothing he could do.

"In any case, Yanmen Pass must be taken. Let's go! Go back to the camp!" Zhang Fei shouted angrily and turned his horse's head.I will go back on horseback.

Suddenly a gust of cool wind blows by the ear, making people feel like a spring breeze, and the whole body is comfortable. Zhang Fei looked around curiously, and glimpsed the leaves on the hillside in the distance, the wind blowing and the grass moving and rustling.

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but rein in his horse.

"Yide! What are you doing?" Seeing Zhang Fei staring at the distant hillside in a daze, Guan Hai asked in confusion.

"Guan Hai! What kind of wind is blowing today?"

"Huh? Yide, what's wrong with you? The southeast wind is blowing, why do you ask such a question?" Guan Hai was puzzled.

"Yes, let's go back to the camp." Zhang Fei laughed loudly, excitedly urged the horse, and then galloped away to the camp.

"This?"

Looking at Zhang Fei going away, Guan Hai was in a trance for a while, a little puzzled.

"Bocai! Tell my brothers, go up the mountain and cut down dry firewood and wormwood. The more the better, I will be of great use." As soon as he returned to the camp, Zhang Fei summoned Bocai to his side.

"Ok."

Since Xu Feng had explained that Zhang Fei was the chief general of the army during the siege, although Zhang Fei didn't explain, and Bo Cai didn't ask any more questions, Bo Cai hurriedly gathered his soldiers together and sent them all to the nearby mountain. It was the beginning of winter at this time. , The grass and trees are withered, the ground is withered and yellow, and in the mountains and forests, dead wood and dry firewood are everywhere. In less than a few hours, the collected dry firewood is piled up like a mountain, and there are countless.

"Yide! Could it be that you are going to attack with fire?" Bo Cai, who had returned to the camp, approached Zhang Fei and asked curiously.

"To be precise, it's Smoke Attack." Zhang Fei nodded.

"Smoke attack? I've never heard of it." Bo Cai kept shaking his head.

"Look at today's wind direction. In the early winter, the north wind blows more often. At this moment, the southeast wind blows. God help me. It seems that we can win Yanmen Pass." Zhang Fei laughed triumphantly.

"Southeast wind."

Bo Cai muttered to himself, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

"Yanmen Pass sits north and faces south, and the southeast wind is blowing at the moment. A fire was set in front of the pass, and thick smoke was ignited, and I seized the opportunity to seize the pass. Yide, you are really good." After thinking about the reason, Bo Cai happily gave a thumbs up, Gao claimed to praise Zhang Fei.

"Hehe! This is a trivial skill, not worth mentioning. Now is a good opportunity, and it will change if it is too late. I command all the soldiers to rest quickly. After the fifth watch, attack the city overnight." Originally, I planned to attack the city tomorrow morning, but I was worried that the wind direction would change, let alone five. It is even more so when people are exhausted and horses are exhausted, and when the guards are sleeping soundly, attacking the city at this time, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, will surely get twice the result with half the effort.

Zhang Fei and others made preparations to attack the city overnight, but inside Yanmen Pass, there was chaos.

Zhang Tai killed Dong Zhuo and was killed by Guan Yu. The dragons in Guan were leaderless, and the morale of the army was unstable.

Dong Zhuo was injured, and Li Ru hurriedly called Hua Tuo to treat Dong Zhuo. As for Zhang Fei's attack, for the sake of the overall situation, Li Ru did not mention Zhang Tai's death. Without a trace, these Bingzhou defenders are inevitably suspicious.

Among them, Fang Bao, a school lieutenant, felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent someone to report to Ding Yuan in Taiyuan. Because of the long distance, Ding Yuan didn't know the situation at Yanmen Pass.
At this time, just after five o'clock that night, people outside the Yanmen Pass flickered, and groups of soldiers rushed to the pass with dry firewood. The denser the sound, the louder the sound, the guards were puzzled, raised their torches and looked out, and were shocked.

"Not good, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Seeing that there were many soldiers wrapped in yellow scarves carrying firewood outside the pass, the defenders hurriedly shouted loudly.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the shouts were exceptionally crisp, and immediately awakened the defenders on the city wall.

"ignition."

Noticing the movement of the defenders on the city wall, Zhang Fei hastily waved his hands and gave orders.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Following Zhang Fei's order, dozens of archers who had been waiting in full swing for a long time, with a sound of bowstrings, dozens of rockets soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they landed on dozens of mountain bags piled up in front of the pass. On top of the usual woodpile.

The pile of firewood that was sprinkled with pine oil immediately burst into flames when touched. Although the wind was strong, but because water was added to the dry firewood in advance, although the fire was not strong, thick smoke rose into the sky. After a while, it dispersed everywhere. Borrowed by the southeast wind, the thick smoke followed the wind direction and rushed straight to Yanmen Pass.

"Cough cough cough..."

The defenders on the city wall, under the smoke, choked uncomfortably, and couldn't help coughing in a hurry.

"Archers, go!" Zhang Fei waved his flag and ordered loudly.

"Bang bang bang." Two thousand archers strode forward, one arrow away, they knelt down one after another, drew their bows and set up arrows, and charged at the city wall to attack.
