Huguan is located at the southeastern end of the Taihang Mountains. It is a mountainous territory. Even the name of this place is because of the two mountains facing each other. The mountain is shaped like a pot and the terrain is dangerous. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao's subordinates Gao Gan first surrendered and then rebelled against Cao Cao and defended Huguan. Cao Cao led his army to personally march through the Taijing Yangchang Ban on the Eight Paths of Taihang. There are many peaks and mountains, crisscrossing valleys and cliffs.
Therefore, Cao Cao left behind the eternal famous poem "Bitter Cold Journey": "Going north to the Taihang Mountains is so difficult and so majestic! The Yangchangzaka is bent, and the wheels are destroyed. The trees are so desolate! The sound of the north wind is sad. The bear squats against me, and the tiger
The leopard crows across the road. There are few people in the valley, and the snow is falling like a feather! I stretch my neck and sigh, and I have many things to cherish when I travel far.
Why is my heart depressed? I want to return eastward. The water is deep and there are no bridges. I am wandering on the middle road. I am confused and lost my old way. I have no shelter at dusk. The journey is far away, and both the people and the horse are hungry. I carry my bag to collect my salary, and I hold my ax to make mince.
The sad poem about Dongshan makes me sad."
Bingzhou, as the place where Li Xiang started, has always been regarded as a top priority by Li Xiang. Yanmen Pass is the north gate of Bingzhou, and Li Xiang left Meng Tian, a peerless peak-level commander, to sit here.
Similarly, at Huguan, which is the southern gateway to Bingzhou, Li Xiang also left Lian Po, a peerless peak-level commander, to sit here.
"Little Ran Min, do you dare to step forward and fight!" Under the Hu Pass, Yuan Hong pointed his long stick forward and said in a bad tone.
Although after being reminded by Yuan Chonghuan before, Yuan Hong already understood that it was a bit hasty for him to rashly promise to take the lead in the battle, but now that the words have been spoken out, Yuan Hong could not go back on his words and could only secretly write it down to Gongsun Xiaoer in his heart.
One stroke.
Of course, Yuan Hong didn't take this challenge too seriously. The strongest one in Huguan was Ran Min, but Yuan Hong was still confident in dealing with Ran Min.
Therefore, due to a new defeat, Yuan Chonghuan rested for a few days and waited for the siege equipment behind him. After that, he finally continued to send troops to Huguan, and Yuan Hong couldn't wait to challenge
Already.
"General, I am requesting to go to war!" Looking at Yuan Hong's arrogant look behind the closed door, Ran Min immediately asked Xue Rengui for instructions.
"General, you are sure of defeating Yuan Hong!" Xue Rengui frowned and said to Ran Min while looking at the majestic Yuan Hong below the city.
"This... general is not sure!" Ran Min said helplessly.
Ran Min couldn't open his eyes and tell lies. After all, he and Yue Lun had only managed to tie with Yuan Hong before. What's more, even if he said he was sure to beat Yuan Hong, I'm afraid Xue Rengui
You will never believe it.
Moreover, if there were to go to war today, he would probably be the only one to face Yuan Hong. Xue Rengui, as the general of an army, would be responsible for commanding all armies, while Yue Lun was in retreat.
After all, if we really want to talk about it, the current Huguan situation is not urgent. Even if Yue Lun hangs up for a few days, there will be no problem. Instead of this, it is better to let Yue Lun break through with all his strength. After that, if the fighter plane arrives, Yue Lun will
Lun can also provide greater assistance.
"Rat! Do you dare to hide in the pass and be a tortoise?" Seeing that no one has come out to challenge for such a long time, Yuan Hong became even more arrogant in his words, hoping to inspire the generals in the pass to come out again.
However, who are Xue Rengui and Lian Po, how could they be affected by Yuan Hong's little tricks? And if the general doesn't nod, others don't have the right to fight even if they want to.
"General Lian Po, the 10,000 prisoners of war should have already set off!" He was too lazy to talk to Yuan Hong. If Yuan Hong was not tired, he would just play by himself in the pass. Instead, Xue Rengui talked with Lian Po about other things.
"General, General Han Fei and Generals Li Lang and Zhang Huan are responsible for escorting them personally, and Navy General Han Shizhong is responsible for transshipment. They set out last night!" Lian Po replied with a smile.
Li Xiang wanted to use the prisoners from the two states as cannon fodder to attack Tongguan, but Xue Rengui sent the 10,000 prisoners of war he had captured before.
Most of these prisoners of war and the 60,000 enemy troops in Guanxia are fathers, sons, brothers, or relatives and friends. Xue Rengui himself wants to use these prisoners to deal with their fathers, sons, brothers, relatives and friends, which is a bit difficult, but using them on the Tongguan battlefield is responsible for consumption.
Tongguan's military strength was just right.
Anyway, these prisoners were not related to the Sui army at Tongguan, and with a hundred thousand soldiers behind them forcing them to do so, they naturally had a choice to make.
Moreover, if these 10,000 prisoners were reorganized, their combat effectiveness would be much stronger than those of the prisoners. These talents could really be used to consume Tongguan's power.
"Come here, raise your bow!" Yuan Hong first scolded himself, and then called a few soldiers with louder voices to join him in scolding. However, nearly an hour passed, but there was no response when the pot was closed. It was obvious that
I don't want to go to war anymore.
Therefore, Yuan Hong had to find another channel to vent his anger. Therefore, like many people, Yuan Hong also wanted to show off his archery skills and shoot down a few big flags for fun.
Although Yuan Hong is not as good at bows and arrows as Hou Yi and Xue Rengui, as a general in the army, he is still at least accurate. What's more, Yuan Hong's target is a fixed target and will not move.
"Boom!" Three arrows were fired in succession. Above the Huguan, two flags fell with a crash. One of them was embroidered with the character Jin and the other with the character "Xue".
"Young boy Yuan Hong, you dare to show off your archery skills!" Xue Rengui said disdainfully, and at the same time, there was a hint of chill in his words.
Indeed, it took three arrows to shoot down two flags. Xue Rengui did not take this skill seriously at all. If Xue Rengui had been the one to shoot, there would be no need for the third arrow.
"Come here, go get my Sky-shattering Bow!" Others have already shot your flag red, so Xue Rengui naturally wants to retaliate.
"Hold on, general, you can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. Why don't you leave it to the general to teach this madman a lesson!" As soon as Xue Rengui finished speaking, a man was holding a huge bow and carrying a huge iron box and a quiver behind his back.
The big man then stepped forward.
"In this case, General Hou Yi will be able to help you!" Seeing that it was Hou Yi who spoke, Xue Rengui readily agreed.
Although Hou Yi never revealed his unique skills or his strongest strength, even so, his archery skills were no longer inferior to Xue Rengui's.
Therefore, Xue Rengui would naturally not refuse Hou Yi's request for war.
Nowadays, Xue Rengui has already become famous. There are not many opportunities to perform this once more, and there are many opportunities to perform this less. Rather than doing this, it is better to give this opportunity to Hou Yi, who is still unknown.
