Chapter 449: Laughing Yan Luo

The rumbling sound of war drums resounded throughout the world. The rock rain like locusts passed the head of Tongguan and smashed into the city. The river-filled carts were slowly and firmly moving forward. Bags of sand and soil were delivered into the moat of Tongguan in an orderly manner.

At this time, Yang Tan, the general of Tongguan who had never cared about Guan Yu's siege, finally couldn't sit still. He personally put his clothes on his own and came to the top of the city to supervise the formation.

When he carefully avoided the flying stones and entered the cover on the city wall, he looked at the city below and was shocked. He saw that the main formation of the Youzhou army first formed a solid defense system, and then, it was the long-distance suppression formed by countless stone-firing cars. There were tens of thousands of elite cavalry on the left and right wings, ready to assault at any time. The entire formation seemed flawless.

Yang Tan couldn't help but sigh. Originally, when Yang Tan heard that the other party was using a strange device to fill the moat in Tongguan, Yang Tan was thinking about opening the city gate and attacking it once. Although those things were not afraid of arrow shooting, they could not resist the damage of real swords and guns. With the sophistication of that kind of thing, they could not make it anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, before going up to the city, Yang Tan had a certain idea. He went up to the city just to better observe the enemy situation and seize the opportunity. But now, after seeing the opponent's formation arrangement, Yang Tan gave up his previous idea and arranged cavalry at the opponent's wings and the middle-road soldiers to be on the battlefield. The opponent was clearly wary of him from suddenly opening the city and attacking him. If he rashly opened the city and did not wait for his success at the speed of the opponent's cavalry, he would definitely be entangled by their cavalry. At that time, not only did the soldiers who left the city die, the city gate would probably be lost.

Yang Tan made up his mind and didn't leave the city. Since they had that strange thing, they gave the moat to them, so what? Without the moat, the city walls of Tongguan were still there. With the high and thick walls of Tongguan, they were not so easy to fight.

However, Yang Tan was not panicked and could still keep his anger. But the generals under his command could not hold back.

On that day, when Guan Yu was scolding, these guys could no longer bear it. They were forcibly suppressed by Yang Tan, and Guan Yu suffered losses when he attacked the city afterwards, so they restrained it. But now, the method of siege in Youzhou has changed, and now the Youzhou has the upper hand. Seeing that the moat in Tongguan was being filled by the soldiers of Youzhou, these guys really couldn't stand it anymore.

Immediately, Huheer roared and shouted, "General, those small cars in Youzhou are so annoying. Please let me take people out and smash them all."

Yang Tan didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly at Huheer.

Huheer burst into cold sweat at that time. Yang Tan's smile was so famous in Tongguan. Thinking back to the time, when Yang Tan first arrived in Tongguan, these generals from Tongguan looked like a weak scholar and were not very convinced by Yang Tan. However, every person who showed dissatisfaction with Yang Tan would smile at him. Then, the person who was dissatisfied with Yang Tan would be killed by Yang Tan with a smile. Even some old ministers under Dong Zhuo were not exceptional. After the twenty-seven generals were killed by Yang Tan like this, no one in Tongguan dared not to accept Yang Tan anymore. Moreover, no one dared to hope that Yang Tan would smile at him. Yang Tan always killed people with a smile.

Huheer regrets this. Yang Tan has long said that he must not stick to it. Why do he just talk so much? Ru Ji, the evil star, smiled at him. It seems that he is still alive.

However, what Huheer never expected was that there would be exceptions in everything. Yang Tan laughed at him this time, but he really didn't want to kill him. In the past, Yang Tan felt that it was not a pity to kill those guys. In addition to having a few strength and being able to fight for a while, he could achieve the same effect in terms of training a bear. Therefore, Yang Tan was too lazy to explain anything to them and killed Qingjing directly. Anyway, there were some mediocre talents in the Southern Xiongnu who were just looking for one or two hundred. That was easy. But this time, Huheer's proposal was exactly the same as his idea before he went to the city. Although Yang Tan's idea has changed now, it would be great to have a bunch of stupid people to think of this. Of course, stupid people cannot be compared with himself.

Therefore, after smiling, Yang Tan patted Huheer on the shoulder and said, "It's good, I think it's good. However, it's not enough. Unless we can defeat the army and horses of Youzhou when we leave the city, their cavalry will entangle. In order to ensure that Tongguan is foolproof, I will definitely close the city gate and not give them an opportunity to take advantage of it. If this happens, you are willing to go out of the city to sacrifice and destroy those strange equipment, and then the general will give you a whistle and make you make a contribution."

The other generals on both sides were trembling in their hearts. This evil star was indeed cruel enough. If someone else left the city, he would close the city gate. Isn’t that obvious that someone was going out to die? Who would have gone to such a credit?

However, Huheer, who had originally believed that he would die, never expected that Yang Tan, who had killed someone without blinking, would pat his shoulder and say this to himself. It is said that a real man would rather die in front of the formation than behind the formation. Huheer's blood surged at that time and said impulsively: "General, as long as he can contribute to defending Tongguan, the last general is willing to die."

Yang Tan was stunned when he heard this. Yang Tan really didn't expect that there was Ning Zhong in this world who was not afraid of death. However, Yang Tan did not intend to rebel. With the current 200,000 troops in Tongguan, tens of thousands of deaths were killed, and it would be no big deal at that time. If the equipment in Youzhou could be destroyed, it would be a small reward.

Yang Tan immediately slapped and said, "Okay! A good man. He is a hero. I will give you 10,000 troops and let you go out of the city to kill the enemy. If you can survive this time, I will remember you as the first merit and I will report you to Lord Dong and give you a lot of rewards. Even if you die because of this, your family will be taken care of by me. I will sworn here to let them have no worries about food and clothing and have a good future."

After Huheer was impulsive, he was a little regretful. Yang Tan was not a person who deserved his life. But Yang Tan's subsequent motivation made Huheer a little moved. Huheer immediately knelt on one leg and bowed to Yang Tan and said, "Please give me everything." Then Huheer ordered his troops out of the city.

At this time, Guan Yu, who saw the gate of Tongguan open and a whistle rushing out, was secretly happy in his heart: Humph! Finally, I can't help it. The moat has almost been filled. This guy guarding the city is really patient. While thinking, Guan Yu waved his hand. Immediately, the flag swayed, and the cavalry on standby on both sides immediately rushed out.

The two cavalrymen, the general led by Yan Liang on the left, and the general led by Wen Chou on the right. The two men, each leading 20,000 cavalry, rushed directly to the central battlefield like two dragons going out to sea. They attacked Huheer's army from left to right.

But Huheer, who had just left the city, had not destroyed any river-filling cart at this time. The river-filling cart, the light steel keel, is covered with cowhide and iron on the outside, which is so easy to destroy? Moreover, the soldiers who control the river-filling cart have been well-trained and have been able to undergo similar training at this time. They stopped moving and held with swords and shields. The river-filling cart has protected three sides and has a large population, which has no effect on them at all. These soldiers who control the river-filling cart only need to defend one side, for a while, of course there is no problem.

Of course, over time, these soldiers who controlled the river chariot would definitely be finished. But what did Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops do? That would destroy this for such a long time?

At this time, a group of chaotic troops were chasing on the battlefield. Liu Ming's troops who filled the river chasing rely on the river chasing to hold on. The army led by Huheer of Tongguan wanted to destroy these river chasing as soon as possible, and the cavalry led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou were interspersed to destroy these troops in Tongguan. This way, it can be seen that the well-trained troops are different from the mobs.

Liu Ming's troops filling the river cart were like a stone, unmoving, and he didn't care about the erosion and fighting of the Tongguan troops. And Liu Ming's troops, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops, were like a pair of sharp scissors, in an orderly manner, cutting the troops rushed out of Tongguan into several pieces and destroying them one by one.

In comparison, Dong Zhuo's troops in Tongguan were very scattered. At this time, I didn't know who was commanding whom. They fought each other, rushing around like headless flies.

Huheer failed in command and screamed in anger. He swung a wolf-toothed stick everywhere. With his strong force, he felt as if he had entered a no-man for a moment.

However, Huheer's arrogant behavior made Wen Chou see it. Although Wen Chou and his team's main purpose was not to destroy the troops in front of them, but to take the opportunity to rush into the city, the generals in front of them were so arrogant and the soldiers were too damaged, which was not something Wen Chou liked.

Therefore, Wen Chou ran to Huheer and killed him. As Wen Chou moved, the flag-holding officer behind Wen Chou was indecisive. Even the entire army of Wen Chou deviated slightly as Wen Chou moved the flag.

This change certainly made Guan Yu feel dissatisfied with it, but fortunately, Yan Liang's army was still interspersing towards the Tongguan city gate according to the scheduled route.

At this time, Wen Chou had already run to Huheer and shouted: "Don't be arrogant to the enemy general, Wen Chou from Hebei, come and take your name."

Wen Chou is a famous general, and of course he doesn't want to do the thing that hurts people behind his back. But Wen Chou's horse was quick, and after he finished speaking, Wen Chou was approaching. The current situation is so chaotic, Wen Chou will certainly not wait for Hu Heer. Wen Chou slashed at the head with a casual knife.

Huheer had a warning about Wen Chou's birth and wanted to reply to the common name, but Huheer didn't expect Wen Chou's horse to be so fast and the knife would be so urgent. Huheer could only hurriedly swung his mace to block it, and there was no time to inform his name.

But in this way, he didn't block it. When Wen Chou saw Huheer blocking it with a mace, he then pulled the head of the knife and presented the knife to write it, and stabbed it in an instant.

Huheer's blockade was immediately lost. Seeing that Wen Chou Dao was fierce, Huheer hurriedly stood up his mace and collapsed outward.

However, Wen Chou used this force to spin the blade, and turned around for Wen Chou, then slashed towards Huheer in half. At this time, it was the time when the two horses were in the stirrup. Huheer's mace had no time to regain his parry in order to block Wen Chou's previous move, and was then killed by Wen Chou.

At this time, Yan Liang had already killed the siege and came to the front of Tongguan City. But this made Yan Liang very angry. The gate of Tongguan had been closed long ago, just like it had never been opened. Moreover, above the city, arrows were like rain, and they all shot towards Yan Liang.

This is why Yan Liang has a high skill. He danced with a big sword and was unable to penetrate the wind and rain. Then he retreated safely. Otherwise, Yan Liangcheng would have to explain himself there if he didn't go in.

With Yan Liang's retreat and the death of the chief general Huheer, the remaining soldiers of Tongguan put down their weapons and surrendered. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, was victorious and returned.

When Guan Yu was about to interrogate the surrendered soldiers, they learned that Tongguan had just replaced the guard general Xiao Yan Luo and Yang Tan, and they were not secretly surprised. Especially when they were surprised by his ruthless decision to immediately close the city gate. Where did this guy come out? Why didn't he report it to the Xiliang intelligence organization in advance?

However, it is no wonder that the intelligence organization in Xiliang is not effective. When Wang Yun took the emperor away from Dong Zhuo, Li Ru started a massacre, and the intelligence team in Xiliang almost suffered a catastrophe. Although it has recovered in the past two years, Dong Zhuo’s upper-level news is still difficult to make.

Liu Ming was surprised for a moment and didn't take it to heart. No matter what the other party's guards were, the moat in Tongguan would be filled soon. At that time, there would be no problem for Guang to occupy Tongguan with his own city rushing carts and tower cars.

Just as Liu Ming stepped up the landing of the moat in Tongguan, Yang Tan was also nervously setting up awaiting the siege of Youzhou's army and horses. At the same time, an urgent report of the army was sent out again. As the saying goes: an isolated city cannot be defended. There is no city that cannot be broken. Yang Tan did not want to be forced here by himself. Since Li Ru brought himself here, Li Ru should provide necessary assistance and implement the established strategy when attacking Youzhou. Otherwise, as previously agreed, when Liu Ming attacked Tongguan for two months, it would be the limit.

Two days later, Liu Ming received the battle report and the moat in Tongguan had been completely filled.
