Chapter 438 Chaos
Luoyang is known as the Capital of Eight Passes.

Surrounded by majestic passes, the situation is dangerous...

Since the first year of Emperor Ling Zhongping, the then Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty led the left and right Yulin Army and the Fifth School Weiying Tundu Pavilion with General He Jin to suppress the capital.The so-called eight passes refer to Hangu Pass, Yique Pass, Guangcheng Pass, Dagu Pass, Xuanyuan Pass, Xuanmen Pass, Mengjin Pass, Xiaopingjin Pass, and Sanguan Pass (today's Northeast Pai Kiln in Yiyang) is the rule. Place.

Yique Pass, as its name suggests, is located at the pass between Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain in Luoyang.

The two mountains are facing each other, and Yishui River flows in it.In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, this Yique Pass already existed, and it was the pass south of Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty at that time.From here, it goes north to Luoyang and goes south to Runan Yingchuan, which is a must pass.There are valleys connecting it, and it has been an important place since ancient times.In "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records", Yiqueguan has been mentioned many times.

It was past noon when Sima Yi led his troops to Yique Pass.

Looking from a distance, you can see that the mountains and passes are connected, and the banners on Yique Pass are waving, but it is a scene of silence.

A scout went to report, and after a while, an officer followed the scout and brought Sima Yi in front of him in a panic.

"I don't know that Chief Sima Shi came here and never greeted him from afar. Please forgive me."

It stands to reason that Sima Yi is not a part of Cao Cao's trilogy, and the post of commander in the army is nothing more than a salary of three hundred stones.

He and Bu Zhi belong to the same level, but because they are friendly forces, they maintain a polite relationship with each other.

Sima Yi asked: "Master Bu, can you close the door?"

"My lord, Bu lord is closing the door now, but he ordered the villain to come and greet you because there are guests here."

Sima Yi didn't care about it, jumped off the horse, and asked casually, "Where is this distinguished guest?"

"My lord, it was Da Gu who ordered Master Lu to come here, and they are discussing about sending troops to suppress the bandits."

"Oh, it turns out that Master Lu is here!"

This can also explain why Bu Zhi didn't come forward to greet him.Calculated, Dagu Ling Lv Meng is one level higher than Yique Ling Bu Zhi, and it is said that he was born in Maocai, which is completely different from Bu Zhi's status as a white-bodied official.

Being a descendant of Sima Yi's aristocratic family, he more or less looked down on disciples from humble families.

Back then, when he was 12 years old, he was promoted as Xiaolian. If Dong Pi hadn't intervened, he might be prosperous now.

The 22-year-old Sima Yi is far from being as scary as the history says.

Different experience, different growth.In history, Sima Yi relied on his family's prestige to get tutored by celebrities, and he was quite scheming.But now, after experiencing the hatred of destroying his family, Sima Yi has become a little impatient, and only wants to get revenge.

So I didn't think too much, "If that's the case, then I'll go see you!"

The officer responded and led the way ahead.But Gao Chong felt that something was wrong, and said softly: "Master Changshi, Chong feels that something is not normal, why don't we go in for the time being and observe?"

"What's wrong?"

"This, Chong can't tell!"

Gao Chong didn't try to dissuade Sima Yi for no reason, but in some respects, he really felt something was wrong.

Sima Yi smiled, "Shao Xian, you are worrying too much, I don't think there is anything abnormal. If you are worried, why not lead an army of two thousand as the rear, and you and I will enter back and forth. Once you find something is wrong, you and I will cooperate with each other." "

Gao Chong thought about it, and felt that Sima Yi's method was also good.

Immediately nodded in agreement, ordered 1000 soldiers and horses as the rear, Sima Yi led [-] men himself, and walked slowly towards Guanneihang.

What's wrong?
Although Sima Yi had already made arrangements, Gao Chong was still a little restless.

Unlike Sima Yi, although Gao Chong is only 25 years old, on the surface he is not much older than Sima Yi.But since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jiangdong, there have been endless wars and bandits. At the age of 13, Gao Chong picked up a gun and mounted a horse to kill people.

That was the vigilance honed from the battle, and this vigilance had indeed saved his life many times.

The leader walked slowly, Gao Chong closed his eyes, and was silent in thought.From the day when Niu Wu escorted the grain and grass to Xincheng, to the officer's words and deeds just now, he thought over and over again, suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he opened his eyes.

At this moment, Sima Yi led the troops to the pass.

The officer's horse!
Gao Chong finally figured out what made him uneasy.The officer's war horse is a rare West Pole horse in the Kanto region!
If the person riding that horse was Guan Er, his favorite, or Zhou Yu and Xia Houyuan, it would still make sense.But an ordinary low-ranking officer in the pass, who looks like a Dubo in his attire, actually has such a good horse?In the world, only Dong Pi's Guan Zhongjun can have such luxurious equipment... No, I was fooled!
Gao Chong's fine hairs stood up all of a sudden, and he urged the horse to charge forward.

"Sima Changshi, stop quickly, those people, those people are part of Dong Bandit!"

Before the words were finished, Sima Yi had already entered the pass with hundreds of trilogy.Hearing a bang, the jack gate fell down, separating the inside and outside of the pass.At the critical moment, hundreds of strangely dressed soldiers suddenly appeared.

The number of people is not large, only about 200 people.

With a Yuanrong crossbow in hand, they attacked the Xuzhou army under the city.

Attack from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, but the distance is four feet.Condescending, and within the firing range of the Yuan Rong crossbow, the steel crossbow screamed and ejected from the crossbow with strong force.The equipment of the Xuzhou Army is not even comparable to Cao Cao's troops.Basically, it is mainly leather-tanned sleeve armor, which can withstand such an attack.

First, he was taken aback by the heavy gate, followed by arrows raining down.

Hundreds of Xuzhou troops under the city were caught off guard, and most of them were killed or injured.At the same time, after Sima Yi entered the pass, he found that the gate of the auxiliary city was closed.After the officer leading the way rushed into the gate of the auxiliary city, more than 200 people emerged from the walls on both sides, also holding Yuanrong crossbows, and attacked Sima Yi and others.

Sima Yi, man and horse, was beaten into a hedgehog by the steel crossbow, and fell in a pool of blood.

He didn't even figure out why the guard of Yique Pass surrendered until the moment before he died.
Gao Chong was outside the city and led the attack.

At this moment, I only heard Youyou's horn sobbing from behind Xiangshan.Dong Yu led an army of [-] yuan to kill the general from the foot of the mountain.Since the purpose of coming to Daguguan this time is to negotiate, Dong Bi had to disguise himself in order to deceive others.

That's why he didn't bring his eye-catching drum beating urn and golden hammer, which is well known to everyone in the world.

Instead, he wears a long-handled Han'an knife that weighs more than a hundred catties and was specially made for him by the general camp.

The handle is four feet long, and a gold thread is wrapped around the black lacquered gauntlet.The blade is five feet long and nearly an inch at its widest point.

The back of the knife is very thick, with sharp serrations on it, and the edge of the knife is very sharp, shining coldly.

This kind of Han'an knife is already close to the shape of Yanling knife and Pu knife of later generations.Since Dong Bi created the round knife technique, the requirements for Han'an knife have gone one step further than before.The handle with both hands is not very long, but it is more lethal.

When the big knife is pushed, it can split a man and a horse in half.

This group of people rushed out suddenly, and the Xuzhou army, which had just formed up to attack, immediately fell into chaos.

Dong Bi's two-handed knife wheel, chopping, blocking, picking, and pulling, blood and flesh flew everywhere where it passed, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered all over the ground.

Gao Chong stabilized his position in a hurry, twisted his gun and rushed towards Dong Bi.

I have to say that in terms of marksmanship, Gao Chong's marksmanship is not as ingenious as Zhao Yun's, but he has more stamina in the killing.The big spear unfolded, like a dragon going out to sea.In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Dong Pi's horse, and stabbed when he was distracted.

Dong Bi cut down the Xuzhou soldier who was approaching with a knife, raised his hand to lift it up, pressed one hand on the back of the knife, and pushed it lightly.

Don't underestimate this light push, but it contains many ingenious force skills.

This is the knife pushing technique developed by him, Huang Zhong and others. It can be used nine times in an instant, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just an ordinary knife.Gao Chong's martial arts are still far behind Dong Pi.But in terms of strength, he is not Dong Bi's opponent.The two horses met each other, their knives and guns collided, and only heard the sound of a clang, Gao Chong pulled his horse and left.

As the saying goes, as soon as an expert stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one!

It only takes one knife, and Gao Chong knows how far the gap between himself and Dong Bi is.

After that slash, Gao Chong's anger and blood surged, and his tiger's mouth burst open.In this case, what else to call?
Dong Bi didn't catch up either!
This guy's marksmanship is good, and his strength is also very strong. In terms of martial arts, he is even better than Zhang He and Chen Dao.

Gao Chong...why haven't I heard of this person?

But it doesn't matter, whether he is killed or not is the same, the most important thing is that Sima Yi.Killing one Sima Yi is better than a hundred pets.Dong Bi steered his horse and turned around, chopping and killing the chaotic army with his round knife.At this time, Chen Min on the top of the city had also ended the battle in the auxiliary city.When Sima Yi's head hung on the wall, the Xuzhou army was finally defeated!

******
When Liu Bei heard the news of Sima Yi's death, his heart ached and he almost fell off his horse.

With a heart sway, he desperately received Pang De's knife, and Wu Leng swept across him, completely in a posture of fighting for his life.Pang De was unwilling to die with him, so he jumped away.Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Bei killed the general and joined Gao Chong.

"Shaoxian, don't love to fight, let's go to Luoyang!"

Gao Chong has been running all the way and is exhausted.But at this moment, Dian Wei also came to kill him, he really couldn't stand it anymore.

The Xuzhou army tried their best to stop Pang De and Dian Wei's pursuers, and the two escaped.

Fortunately, the surface of the Yishui River was frozen, and Liu Gao and his two fought their way out of the siege. After crossing the Yishui River, they went straight to Luoyang.

Pound Dianwei did not chase after Yishui. It is said that the poor should not chase after them. They have completed their task by capturing Xincheng.

After the two killed and dispersed the Xuzhou army, they immediately divided up and acted.

Dian Wei led five thousand soldiers and horses to Yique Pass, while Pang De hurried back to Xincheng to prepare soldiers and horses.

The fire in Xincheng was not extinguished until dawn.Most of the new city was engulfed by flames, leaving only a scorched black remnant.

Pang De ordered Han De to lead 1 people to station troops in front of Lu Hun Pass.

He supervised tens of thousands of troops and went straight to the three passes.

According to the previous deployment, after Pang De's troops seized the new city, the next task was to snatch Yanshi and cut off Zhou Yu's retreat.In this way, the 20 coalition forces became a turtle in a urn.

Zhou Yu never imagined that the situation in Jingzhao changed suddenly overnight.

He stared blankly at Liu Bei, his voice trembling, "Mr. Xuande, you mean, you mean... three passes were taken?"

Liu Bei was in a panic at the moment, with blood on his body.

Hearing Zhou Yu's question, he couldn't help the grief in his heart, and burst into tears: "Tie Dong is cunning, and he said that he has demoted three generals. Now Ru Ying's food and grass are cut off, and the new city has been destroyed. Dong's bandits have already entered the capital. Zhao, the soldiers and horses under Bei's command are all gone..."

Zhou Yu was dumbfounded!

Since he came out of the mountain, he has never encountered such a dangerous situation.

Relying on Sun Ce's bravery and resourcefulness, it can be said that he has advanced step by step, from nothing to today's princes. He came out of the mountains at the age of 15 and has been playing for ten years. He has encountered such a dangerous situation before.

"Three passes rebelled, Xincheng was taken..."

Zhou Yu muttered a few words, then suddenly yelled, "Zhong Limu, where is Zhong Limu?"

At this moment, Zhou Yu still has half of Zhou Lang's spirit.He yelled loudly, and a person rushed in from the door.

"The end is here!"

This Zhong Limu, only 19 years old, is the seventh grandson of the Han and Lu kingdoms, and he is quite talented.

Zhou Yu said: "Go to Beimang quickly and inform General Xiahou to send troops to Yanshi. Be sure to defend Yanshi!"

"Here!"

As soon as Zhong Limu got out of the big tent, a small school came to report: "General Qi, something is not right... Gucheng Tabai Army suddenly launched a fierce attack. Chen Dao led Pei Yuanshao, Meng Tan, and Chunyu to attack in three groups. General Zhu Zhi can no longer resist."

"Report... General Qi, general Dong Quyi sent troops from Pingyin, and has already entered our former army's Dazhai..."

"Report!"

Zhou Yu was in a daze at the moment... Bad news came one after another, and all the circumstances showed that Guanzhong had launched the final attack.He gritted his teeth and tried his best to be calm, "What's the matter? Report it quickly!"

The Tanma said: "Zhang Yun selected the vanguard, took advantage of the ice-covered river, forcibly crossed the river, landed in Ping County, and stormed the Beimang camp."

Zhou Yu gave Lingling a chill, "Zhang He, isn't Zhang He in Pinggao? Why did he turn to attack Beimang? Then Pinggao, who is guarding Pinggao now?"

No one understood why Zhou Yu suddenly cared about this issue.

Tan Ma said: "According to inquiries, the general who guards Pinggao is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, the long history under Dong Pi's command."

Now that this battle has come to this point, the understanding between them can be said to be very clear.

Zhou Yu heard this and yelled, "General Xiahou is in danger!"

The general Xiahou he was talking about was not Xiahouyuan, but the general guarding Hulao Pass, Xiahoudun.

However, the current situation did not allow him to think about Xiahou Dun's safety, as he was already in trouble.

In front of you, there are two choices!

Defend Luoyang to death; or give up Luoyang and retreat to Yanshi with all your strength.

As long as it can retreat to Yanshi, and Yanshi is still in hand, the 20 army will have a way to survive.But if Yanshi is occupied, the 20 coalition forces may face the danger of annihilation.As for defending Luoyang, he can only put his hope on Cao Cao in Xingyang.However, can we really place our hopes on Cao Cao?Zhou Yu and Liu Bei felt uneasy.

"Mr. Xuande, I will go to Yanshi immediately with 3 horses with you... Please take care of Mr. Xuande and make sure to keep Yanshi."

Liu Bei quickly agreed, and took Gao Chong to order soldiers and horses.

It's messed up, it's all messed up!
Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing wryly. After this battle is over, I'm afraid that the face of the princes of the Kanto will be gone.

Unexpectedly, after working so hard and persisting to this point, Dong Manzi still took the lead.

What Zhou Yu had to consider now was no longer how to defend Luo Yang.What he needs to consider is how to take these soldiers and horses away and try to preserve the vitality of the coalition forces.As for who to abandon and who to keep, a decision must be made!

cheer up, cheer up...

If you don't cheer up, you'll be dead!
