Chapter 414: The Great Chaos

Luoyang is known as the capital of the Eight Passes.

There are many heroic passes around, and the situation is dangerous...

Since the first year of Zhongping of Emperor Ling, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, led the left and right imperial guards and the five sects to set up Duting to the capital. The so-called Eight Passes refer to Hangu Pass, Yique Pass, Guangcheng Pass, Dagu Pass, Xuanyuan Pass, Arc deputies, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin to pull out the pass and use Sanguan (now northeastern Paiyao of Yiyang) as its capital.

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

The two mountains stand together, and the Yi River flows in it. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Yique Pass already existed, and it was the pass south of Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. From then on, Luoyang was down to the north and Yingchuan, Runan, the south, which was a must-pass place. There are valleys connected there, and since ancient times, it has just been a key place. Yique Pass has been mentioned many times in "Zuo Zhuan" and "Records of the Grand Historian".

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

From a distance, I saw the mountain passes connected to the Yique Pass, but it was a quiet scene.

A scout came to report, and in a short while, an officer followed the scout's expression and came to Sima Yi in front of him.

"I don't know that Sima Changshi came and had never been welcomed. I would like to forgive me."

Logically speaking, Sima Yi was not Cao Cao's army, and he was the chief minister of the army, but he was only worthy of a salary of 300 stones.

They are on par with Bu Zhi, but because they are friendly forces, they are polite to each other.

Sima Yi asked, "Can Lord Bu be closed?"

"Sir Qi, Lord Bu is now closing, but because the guests are coming, they cannot separate themselves, so they ordered the villain to come and greet him."

Sima Yi didn't care, jumped off the horse and asked casually, "I wonder who distinguished guest is here?"

"Sir Qi, it was Oguchi who ordered Lord Lu to come and discuss the matter of sending troops to suppress the bandits."

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

This can also explain why Bu Zhi did not come forward to meet him. In short, Oguri Ling Lu Meng was one level higher than Yique Ling Bu Zhi. It is said that he was born in Maocai, which is completely different from Bu Zhi's position in a white official position.

Sima Yi's family was born in a noble family and he had more or less contempt for his white poor disciples.

Back then, he was called a filial and honest person at the age of twelve. If Dong Qi hadn't made a move, he would have been successful now.

Sima Yi, who is twenty-two years old now, is far less terrible than history says.

Different experiences and different growths. In history, Sima Yi relied on his family's reputation to be trained by famous scholars and was quite scheming. But now, after experiencing the hatred of destroying the family, Sima Yi has become a little impatient and only wants to avenge his revenge.

So I didn't think much about it, "Since that's the case, I'll go and pay my respects!"

The officer responded and led the way. But Gao Chong felt something was wrong and said softly: "Sir Changshi, Chong thinks that something is not normal, otherwise we should not go in for the time being and observe it?"

“Where is abnormal?”

"This, I can't tell you!"

Gao Chong did not dissuade Sima Yi for no reason, but in some aspects, he did feel something was wrong.

Sima Yi smiled, "Shaoxian, you are too worried. I don't think anything is abnormal. If you are worried, it's better to lead two thousand troops as the back, and you and I will enter from the front and back. Once something is found out, you and I will cooperate inside and outside."

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

He nodded and agreed, and ordered two thousand soldiers as the rear. Sima Yi led a thousand men and slowly headed towards the inner circle of the pass.

Something is wrong?

Although Sima Yi had made arrangements, Gao Chong was still a little uneasy.

Unlike Sima Yi, although Gao Chong was only twenty-five years old, he was not much older than Sima Yi on the surface. However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jiangdong, wars continued and bandits continued. Gao Chong carried a gun and killed people at the age of thirteen.

That was the vigilance that was tempered from the battle formation, and this vigilance indeed saved his life many times.

Leading the troops slowly walked, Gao Chong closed his eyes and pondered. From Niu Wu escorting food to Xincheng during the day to the officer's words and deeds just now, he thought over and over again, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat and he broke away his eyes.

At this moment, Sima Yi had already arrived at the pass.

The officer's horse!

Gao Chong finally figured out the reason why he was upset. The officer's war horse was a rare Western-Ji horse in Kanto!

If the person riding that horse was Guan Er, his Gao Chong, or Zhou Yu and Xiahou Yuan, it would be reasonable. But an ordinary low-level officer with a pass, who looks like a Du Bo, had such a good horse? In the world, only Dong Qi's Guanzhong Army can have such a luxurious assembly... Not good, I'm fooled!

Gao Chong's hair suddenly stood up and urged his horse to rush forward.

"Sima Changshi, stop quickly. Those people, those people are Dong Zhei's troops!"

Before he finished speaking, Sima Yi had already entered the pass with hundreds of troops. He heard a rumbling sound, and the thousand-pound gate fell, separating the inside and outside the pass. At the critical moment, hundreds of strangely dressed soldiers suddenly appeared.

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

Everyone had a Yuanrong crossbow and attacked the Xuzhou army under the city.

Attack from the city to the city, it was only four feet away. It was condescending, and within the range of the Yuanrong crossbow, the steel crossbow roared and ejected from the crossbow machine with strong force. The equipment of the Xuzhou army was not even as good as Cao Cao's men. It was basically mainly made of leather-tanned squid armor, which could withstand such an attack.

First, I was startled by the Qianjin Gate, and followed the arrows like rain.

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

Sima Yi and his horse were beaten like hedgehog by a steel crossbow, and fell into a pool of blood.

He didn't even figure out why the guard of Yique Pass surrendered?

Gao Chong led his troops outside the city to attack.

At this moment, I heard a whimpering horn from behind Xiangshan. Dong Qi led a 500-yuan army to kill the generals from behind the mountain. Since this time I came to Oguchi for negotiations, Dong Qi had to disguise himself in order to hide his eyes and ears.

So he did not bring his striking drum-beating golden hammer with him.

Instead, he wore a long-handled Han'an knife specially built for him, weighing more than 100 pounds.

The handle is four feet long, and a circle of gold wire is wrapped around the black guard. The blade is five feet long, and the widest part is nearly one inch.

The back of the knife is very thick, with sharp serrated teeth on it, and the edge of the knife is very sharp and it shines with cold light.

This Han'an sword is close to the shape of the Yanling sword and Pu's sword in later generations. Since Dong Qi created the round sword technique, his requirements for the Han'an sword have become one step further than before. Although the handle of both hands is not very long, it is more lethal.

The big knife pushed it, and it could split the man and horse in half.

This group of troops suddenly came out, and the Xuzhou army, who had just formed a formation and prepared to attack, immediately became in chaos.

Dong Qi used his hands to cut, block, pick, and pick. Wherever he passed, his flesh and blood flew everywhere, and his broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground.

Gao Chong hurriedly stabilized his position and rushed towards Dong Qiong.

I have to say that in terms of marksmanship, Gao Chong's marksmanship is not as clever as Zhao Yun, but he has a strong spirit in the fight. The big gun is unfolded, like a dragon going out to sea. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Dong Qi's horse and was distracted and stabbed.

Dong Qi cut over the Xuzhou soldiers who were leaning over with a knife, raised his hand and lifted it up, pressed one hand on the back of the knife, and pushed it gently.

Don't underestimate this gentle push, but it contains many clever hard skills.

This is the sword pushing technique he and Huang Zhong and others studied. They can make nine force efforts in an instant, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just an ordinary sword. Gao Chong's martial arts are still far away from Dong Qi. But in terms of strength, he is not Dong Qi's opponent. When two horses meet, swords and guns collided, and only the clang... With a sound, Gao Chong drove the horse away.

As the saying goes, experts will know if there is any one!

With just one knife, Gao Chong knew how big the gap between him and Dong Qi was.

The next knife only shocked Gao Chong's blood and his tiger's mouth burst. What else would you do if you hit in this situation?

Dong Qi didn't catch up!

This guy has good marksmanship and strong strength. If you use martial arts, he is even more skillful than Zhang He and Chen Dao.

Gao Chong... Why haven't you heard of this person?

But it doesn't matter. Whether he kills him or not, the most important thing is Sima Yi. Killing one Sima Yi is better than a hundred Gao Chongs. Dong Qi turned around and killed the chasing sword in the chaos. At this time, Chen Min on the top of the city had already ended the battle in the auxiliary city. When Sima Yi's head was hung on the top of the city, the Xuzhou army was finally defeated!

*******

When Liu Bei heard the news of Sima Yi's death, his heart couldn't help but feel ache and he almost fell off his horse.

He was determined to be slashed with Pang De and swept across his spear, which was completely a desperate situation. Pang De was unwilling to die with him, so he jumped away. Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Bei killed the general and met Gao Chong in the same place.

"Shaoxian, don't be in love with the battle, let's go to Luoyang!"

Gao Chong was exhausted all the way. At this moment, Dian Wei also came over, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

The Xuzhou army fought desperately to stop the pursuers of Pang De and Dian Wei, and then they escaped.

Fortunately, the Yishui River was frozen, and Liu Gao and his two others broke through the siege, crossed the Yishui River, and headed straight for Luoyang.

Pang Dedianwei had never chased Yishui. You are the one who is the defeated enemy and won the new city. They have completed their mission.

After the two of them killed the Xuzhou army, they immediately divided their troops to operate.

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

The fire in the new city was extinguished until dawn. Most of the new city was swallowed by flames, leaving only a charred remains.

Pang De ordered Han De to lead 10,000 troops to station troops in front of Luhun Pass.

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

According to the previous deployment, after Pang De and his troops seized the new city, their next task was to seize Yanshi and cut off Zhou Yu's retreat. In this way, the 200,000 troops of the coalition army became turtles in the jar.

Zhou Yu never expected that Jingzhao's storm suddenly changed overnight.

He looked at Liu Bei blankly, his voice trembling, "Duke Xuande, are you saying, are you saying... the three gates were taken away?"

Liu Bei was in a mess at this moment, with blood on his body.
