Chapter 652: Cao Mengde's troops approach the Xiongguan Pass

The two high-level opponents did add pressure to Huo Jun. After all, there was one more Gan Ning, which actually made a lot of more things. [But Huo Jun could still deal with it. For him, this first day was to pay more attention than usual and let himself put more energy into the battle defending the city. And he could only take care of one, either Ma Dai on this side, or Gan Ning on the other side, and it was impossible to take care of two people at the same time.

So he still dealt with Ma Dai first. As for Gan Ning, he could only let the soldiers deal with it first. However, Ma Dai was not easy to deal with, so he threw the pieces and let him dodge it. He put on hot oil and finally forced him to retreat. When Huo Jun took care of Gan Ning again, he found that his soldiers did not have much threat to him, because they were about to come to the top of the city! When Huo Jun saw it, he quickly commanded the soldiers and poured the hot oil that had just been burned against Gan Ning.

Not to mention, Gan Ning couldn't hide from this moment. So he could only curse in his heart and then jumped off the ladder.

-----------------------------------------------------

Seeing that Ma Dai and Huo Jun ran away so quickly, Huo Jun was actually as expected. After all, if the two could be hit so easily, it would not be him, Ma Dai Ma Bozhan and Gan Ning Gan Xingba. One is Huo Jun's old opponent and the other colleague he had known the most, Huo Jun certainly knew their abilities, at least in siege, that would be better than him. But if they were to defend the city, they were naturally inferior to themselves.

Huo Jun smiled slightly at this time and thought to himself that although you were not hit, you had to go down the ladder. Your goal was already achieved!

Ma Dai and Gan Ning were naturally not discouraged. They all knew Huo Jun's power, so these were as expected. However, this was the first time Gan Ning led his troops to attack Jiangling, so he was also unhappy and was not so convinced by Huo Jun. But he also knew that in fact, when it comes to defending the city, there were actually not many people in the world who could surpass others. Even if he talked about his own side, he dared not say that there were more than others.

-----------------------------------------------------

The final result was that even on the first day of Gan Ning joining, he failed to climb to the top of Jiangling. Jiangling was indeed more difficult to attack than an average place, which is certain. So at Guo Jia's suggestion, Ma Chao also recognized it, and finally he cried out the Jin Dynasty to withdraw his troops. Ma Dai and Gan Ning had no choice but to lead their troops to retreat.

In Ma Chao's central army tent, Ma Dai and Gan Ning, who were unaware of it, heard their lord say: "Sili fast Malai report, Luoyang, have been lost!"

When the two heard this, they were indeed surprised. Isn’t it? Where is Luoyang? Although it is not their base camp, it is also considered a place of heavy troops. Moreover, it is indeed a high city with deep water, but it is just such a strong city. It’s just a matter of losing it? Needless to say, it must be a good thing that the Yanzhou army did!

Therefore, Ma Dai asked, "Dare you ask the lord, is it the Yanzhou army invading Sili?"

"Yes, that's right! Cao Mengde personally led his troops and Luoyang fell! Speaking of which..."

-----------------------------------------------------

When they heard about the loss of Luoyang, Ma Dai and Gan Ning were both sighing and felt very regretful. After all, it was not that our side was really inferior to their Yanzhou army. Yes, there was something worse than them. They just fell into their plan, but it was not that our side was not as good as their combat power. Therefore, the city that could be defended was lost because of other people's plans, which made the two of them feel regretful.

If I were Yan Yan, I would definitely feel depressed. After all, who would not feel depressed when this matter happened? Who would be willing to do so? If you were not the one who was really inferior to others, you really couldn't see through other people's plans and you had to drink other people's foot wash water.

However, Ma Dai and Gan Ning also knew that the city was lost now, and nothing else was useful to say at this time. Speaking of which, our side can only learn from the lessons, that's all. As for the others, no matter how much they say, it's useless.

Gan Ning later said a few words to Ma Chao and asked some questions, which made him better understand some of Sili's situation.

-----------------------------------------------------

No one said anything about Luoyang after that. Although they didn't see anything from their lords, they knew Ma Chao after all, so they knew that although he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that their lord wouldn't think much. Therefore, no one would look for that uncomfortable, so no one would talk about Luoyang anymore. No matter what they say now, Luoyang has been lost for several days. Sili is now invaded by the Yanzhou army, and he still doesn't know what happened next.

Luoyang's successful capture and the achievements of the chess pieces he buried at the beginning made, which made Cao Cao feel very happy. For him, this city was indeed not what he valued. Even if Luoyang is a strong city in the world, a famous city in the world, and a relatively important military center, Cao Cao really does not value this. But in recent years, few of the battles with the Liangzhou army can gain any advantage, but now, he finally has the advantage. Can he still be unhappy?

Similarly, the people under his command were also happy like his lord. Because although the Liangzhou army was not like a nightmare, they have indeed been a lot of aggrieved over the years.

-----------------------------------------------------

So now that they have the opportunity to take revenge, they are of course in a happy mood.

After resting for two days, Cao Cao led his troops to continue attacking. For him, in Sili's territory, he did not take as much attention as other places except Luoyang Chang'an. Moreover, he did not think that other places could stop his own steps. Especially he would lead the troops himself. This was not that Cao Cao was too confident, but that he believed that when Ma Chao was not in Sili, he had no opponents, but that was almost the same.

Is there no one in Sili? Of course not. Cao Cao never thought so. But as the leader of the Liangzhou Army, the lord Ma Chao was not here, so it can be said that the difference is really big. It's like he is not in Yanzhou, so whether the enemy attacks or the emperor causes some trouble for him. Can the people on his own side be the same when he is in Xudu and not in Xudu? Even those aristocratic families, powerful landlords, wealthy businessmen, etc. are the same.

When you are here, some people are the same, but when you are not here, they may be the same.

-----------------------------------------------------

Advancing west from Luoyang, under Hangu Pass, Cao Cao immediately watched the pass standing in front of him, blocking his own progress.

Hangu Pass is so familiar. Not only is Cao Cao familiar, but also his subordinates, no matter what civil and military officials are not familiar with? I don’t know how many times I have been here before, but now this place is the territory of the Liangzhou Army, which is blocking our own footsteps.

Now there are three people guarding Hangu Pass. The main general Wu Yi, the deputy general Huang Quan, and Peng Li brought back by Ma Chao. This shows that Ma Chao attaches great importance to such a dangerous pass. Of course, it can be said that in Sili, Hangu Pass is indeed an important pass and a famous pass in the world!

Cao Cao looked at the Hangu Pass in front of him, and then said to everyone next to him: "Everyone, I, Cao Mengde, are back now! Hangu Pass has indeed been missing for a long time! Is this true for everyone?"

Cao Cao was a person full of passion. Even if he was fighting, no matter how he won or lost, he could not erase the passion in his heart. Seeing Hangu Pass in front of him really reminded him of some past, so he also asked everyone if he had any feelings now.

-----------------------------------------------------

Yes, everyone stopped nodding. Who hasn't been here before? But I haven't been here in recent years. After all, it's the territory of the enemy.

Cao Cao said to everyone again: "Our army will rest today and tomorrow, and attack the next day!"

"promise!"

Even when facing the world's great gates, Cao Cao was still not afraid, and he still had confidence in this. The three people at the gate, Wu Yi, Huang Quan and Peng Yi, saw that the Yanzhou army had already set up a large camp, they knew that it was time to check on them.

The three were appointed by Ma Chao personally to guard Hangu Pass, especially Peng Yi and Guo Jia were there when he was in Chang'an. However, when Guo Jia left, he did not take him there, so Ma Chao threw him to Hangu Pass. In fact, he might not be able to learn anything from Wu Yi, Huang Quan and others.

-----------------------------------------------------

However, Peng Yi was obviously very satisfied with the current situation. Although he did not go to Jingzhou with Ma Chao, he was waiting for the Yanzhou army at Hangu Pass, and the Yanzhou army led by Cao Mengde himself. This result has to be said to be satisfying him. Originally, Peng Yi thought that if he didn't go to Jingzhou, there would be no war related to him, but now at Hangu Pass, he is obviously unable to get out of touch with him. Can this not make him happy?

As for Wu Yi and Huang Quan, they already knew it when they fought in Luoyang in Yanzhou. But they had to admit that they thought that even if Yan Yan could not defend Luoyang, they could have persisted for a long time, but the result was really beyond their expectations. They all knew the specific situation clearly, not the credit of the horse, but Yan Yan told them in person.

Yan Yan went from Luoyang to Chang'an and passed by Hangu Pass, he talked about the war in Luoyang with Wu Yi and the others. His tone was very regretful, but he was unwilling to accept it. But even so, he had to admit that after all, the military skills of Yanzhou were still superior, which was true.

-----------------------------------------------------

So Wu Yi, Huang Quan and Peng Yi knew clearly that it was not the credit for the siege, but the person involved Yan Yan said it personally. After all, Wu Yi and Huang Quan were both old friends in Yizhou, and they used to belong to the Yizhou army, and now they are even from the Yizhou group. Even Peng Yi was actually counted.

Therefore, even if Yan Yan felt embarrassed and had his old face, he was willing to do so in order not to underestimate the enemy, and there was nothing he could not say.

After Wu Yi and the others found out, they were obviously very sad. This Luoyang City was lost? But you can't believe it, but this is true, Luoyang was lost in less than two days!

After that, Yan Yan stayed in Hangu Pass for a day, so he set out on his own to Chang'an. As for the remaining soldiers he brought, he naturally kept him at Hangu Pass, so there are indeed many people in Hangu Pass now, more than 10,000.

-----------------------------------------------------

Therefore, Wu Yi and the others were really confident. This majestic pass is not like those cities. Even if it is a strong city in the world, it may not be as good as such a majestic pass. A pass, especially a majestic pass like Hangu Pass, is harder to break than a city, which is recognized by the world.

Not to mention the others, just talk about how much effort the eighteen princes had to fight against Sishui Pass back then, and finally succeeded. If they hadn't joined forces, they wouldn't have been able to break Sishui Pass. After all, Sishui Pass is also one of the world's most powerful passes, and it would never be much worse than Hangu Pass. But if it were true, Hangu Pass was still more famous, which is correct.

Wu Yi said to Huang Quan and Peng Wei at this time: "The Yanzhou army is coming well. I am not afraid of them coming, but I am afraid that they will not come!"

Huang Quan smiled when he heard this, "It seems that it's time to test us!"

Peng Yi smiled but said nothing, and everything was silent. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
