Chapter 40
After Yanmen Pass, the Xianbei army arrived as scheduled, with 12 pioneers each in the left and middle groups, plus the [-] troops led by Bu Dugen, this time Xianbei participated in the battle with as many as [-] people.

drink!drink!drink! ! !
The Xianbei soldiers lined up in a long square formation, roaring in their mouths and marching forward in unison, with high morale, and every time they stamped their feet on the ground, they could clearly feel the vibration of the ground.

Budugen's age has not yet reached the age of [-], but he has already passed his thirties. He has luxuriant black hair like a lion, and his beard is braided into a thick braid. He rides in the forefront, and the black horse is eight feet high. , wearing a Xianbei king armor, so majestic.

Beside Bu Dugen was a giant man who looked like an iron tower, holding a long wolf hammer in his hand. Few people in the Han army might recognize this man, but everyone in Xianbei knew him.

The giant man is called Man Heer, the number one general under Budugen's camp, he knows nothing about commanding troops in combat, but in terms of brute force and martial arts, he can almost be said to dominate the grassland.Budugen was able to escape from disasters several times, and climbed to the position of one of the three kings of Xianbei. Man Heer's life and death are indispensable.

As the pass was approaching, Bu Dugen lightly raised his left hand, and the loud shouts from the Xianbei army stopped abruptly.

Bu Dugen took two steps forward, his position was well positioned, and he was out of range of the crossbowmen on the city wall.Bu Dugen raised his head and looked up at this majestic pass that had made Xianbei people daunted countless times. He suddenly saw a familiar figure, and laughed and said, "Old General Zhang Zhong, I haven't seen you for so many years. The momentum has not diminished.”

Decades ago, the Xianbei people went south. At that time, Zhang Zhong was still a general at the "Zheng" level, and had a relationship with Bu Dugen, who was not crowned king. In that battle, the Xianbei people also stopped outside Yanmen Pass.

Zhang Zhong learned that Budugen led the army to arrive at Yanmen Pass, put on iron chain mail, walked up the city wall, and put his hands on the battlements. The big and small generals responsible for guarding Yanmen Pass.

Most of the soldiers guarding the pass looked unhappy. If it weren't for Zhang Zhong's backbone, many of them would have lost their fighting spirit and wanted to abandon the pass and flee. The 10,000+ Xianbei people marched like a swarm of ants. The Xianbei people have been notorious for being brave these years, not to mention their number is more than three times that of the city defenders.

"Old general, as long as you are willing to let my king's army enter the customs, I promise not to harm a single Han, and I will find you an official position no lower than your Han three." Even though he knew it was impossible, Bu Du Gen is still holding the attitude of giving it a try.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhong's eyes widened with anger, his voice suddenly raised an octave, and he shouted: "Xianbei children, if you want to fight, you should fight, don't learn from that long-tongued woman, the old man lives in Hanlu, how can he be with you and other young people? Do the deeds of the villain who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country!"

"If you want to enter the customs, it's easy, just step on the old man's body."

Zhang Zhong was furious, and directly scolded the Xianbei people, and he didn't show any kindness to Bu Dugen.

All the soldiers on the city wall heard that Zhang Zhong declared his ambition by death and vowed to never die with the Xianbei people, and they also had a strong resonance with him. The old general was over sixty years old and he was not afraid of death. embarrassing.

"Fight to the death!"

Affected by the old general's aura, Han Lie beside him drew out his waist knife and roared angrily.

Fight to the death!Fight to the death!Fight to the death! ! !

The Bingzhou soldiers on the top of the city roared one after another. At this moment, they clenched their weapons tightly. As long as the old general gave an order, they would dare to rush down the pass and fight the Xianbei people to the death.

The low morale suddenly became like a rainbow.

Seeing that the morale of the Bingzhou Army guarding the pass was greatly boosted, Budugen's face looked a little gloomy, "Old general, people sometimes get confused when they are old. This king will give you three more days to think about it. If you don't open the door to offer the pass at that time, then you will be able to do so." Don't blame me for forcing my way in."

Bu Dugen dropped the cruel words, turned his horse's head, and led the army back to the camp stationed twenty miles away.

The 12 Xianbei people withdrew in desperation, and the soldiers guarding the pass were inexplicable. They were roaring loudly just now, and they were so arrogant. Why did they run away in a blink of an eye?

Han Lie also couldn't understand, he was a straight-hearted person, and immediately asked Zhang Zhong: "General, why didn't these Xianbei thieves attack the city, but ran away with their tails between their legs?"

Zhang Liao stood on the right side, holding a black iron long knife in his left hand, dressed in white and silver armor, and looked full of heroism.When he heard Han Lie's doubts, Zhang Liao gave his own opinion, "General Han, the Xianbei army has just arrived at Yanmen Pass today. It is bound to be exhausted after a long journey, and rushing to attack the city will only increase their losses. Bu Dugen The leader of the army came to Guanxia, ​​just wanting to show off his power, so as to take the opportunity to weaken the morale of our army and shake the morale of the army, but he did not expect the result to be counterproductive."

Zhang Liao spoke very clearly, and all the generals present nodded their heads repeatedly.

Zhang Zhong was very pleased with this, he looked at Zhang Liao with hope and love, and he could have such a macro control over the war at a young age, his grandson would definitely not be a treasure in the future.

"The order goes on, and the guards are strengthened at each pass. Without the old man's order, no one is allowed to lead troops out of the pass to meet the enemy. Violators, regardless of whether they win or lose, will be dealt with according to military law!"

The old general's face was serious. At this critical juncture, there must be no trouble.

"No!" The generals behind each took their orders and left.

Looking at the Xianbei army receding like a tide, Zhang Zhong, who was leaning his body on the female wall, felt even more heavy in his heart. The army of Xianbei people has arrived, why has the 2 horses he mobilized from all over the country been delayed? .

Bu Dugen returned to the big tent with a gloomy face. In his king's tent, there was an old man sitting in a black felt hat and a sheepskin fur, with occasional flashes of light in his cloudy eyes.

"Your Majesty, judging by your expression, you must have failed to persuade you to surrender." The old man stroked his beard and smiled, not caring at all whether his words would arouse Bu Dugen's anger.

Bu Dugen snorted coldly, and sat down on the coach's seat, "That old bastard, Zhang Zhong, doesn't take hard things, it's really abhorrent!"

This answer was clearly expected by the old man, "In this case, we can only try to forcefully break through Yanmen Pass."

The old man is Budugen's most reliable think tank. His name is Futuhe, and he enjoys the reputation of "Dieyi" in Xianbei.

Dieyi means a wise and enlightened person.

With a "boom", Bu Dugen slammed his fist heavily on the table, venting his resentment. Xianbei people are good at riding and fighting, but not good at siege.If he insisted on forcibly attacking Yanmen Pass, the number of people killed in battle would be several times higher than usual, and these soldiers were all his painstaking efforts.

"My lord, wait for a few days. Don't the Han people often ridicule us as barbarian tribes and illiterate country savages? After a few days, I will let all the Han people know that the siege equipment they are proud of is like Xianbei. It can be produced!"

As Fu Tuhe spoke swearingly, there was a red light of excitement on his weather-beaten and thin face.

When Bu Dugen heard this, his complexion finally improved, and he saluted the old man sincerely, "Everything depends on you."

"However, you can't be idle for the next few days. Your Majesty, you can send people to Yanmen Pass to shout and fight. It's best to force the Han people to fight. If the Han people can't hold on to it, it can also distract the army."

As expected of a wise man, Fu Tuhe immediately devised another plan for Bu Dugen.

Budu took it for granted, and immediately sent an order to go down.

At this time, the personal guard reported respectfully outside the tent: "Your Majesty, General Qi Qi from Yunzhong County is asking to see you."

Bu Dugen was wondering where the vanguard on the right had gone, but now that he heard Qiqi's arrival, he thought it was him leading the army to meet up.

It's a bit late, but it's finally here.

Bu Dugen thought so in his heart, and ordered in his mouth: "Let him in."

Qi Qi was put into the tent, knelt down in front of Bu Dugen and cried bitterly, with snot and tears, not to mention how bitter it was.

Seeing Qi Qi's appearance, Bu Dugen couldn't help feeling a bad premonition, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Then, Budugen heard a piece of news that was no less than a bolt from the blue.

Your Majesty, Yunzhong County is lost!
