August 9, 230 AD.
Tongguan.
"Report!"
Early in the morning, a junior high school student hurried in from outside and said hurriedly: "General, it's not good, the Wei army is here again."
"Wei Jun?"
Liao Hua was stunned when he heard this.
After the two new passes of Huangxiangban and Twelve Liancheng were built from Tongguan, Wei troops never appeared outside Tongguan City. Even when Cao Wei attacked Guanzhong for the second time last year, he gave up attacking Tongguan and instead attacked Wuguan.
The imperial court recently moved the capital, and Tongguan guard Wei Yan has returned to Chang'an.
Now Tongguan is guarded by Liao Hua.
At this time, the Wei army suddenly came to kill.
Liao Hua didn't think too much and led a few soldiers and ran towards Huangxiang Banguan Tower.
"General!"
On the Banguan Tower in Huangxiang, a primary school colonel said to Liao Hua: "The Wei army just arrived this morning and is gathering at this time." As he said that, he pointed to the wide area not far away.
There is a narrow passage in front of Huangxiang Ban, and there is an open space through the passage.
Standing on the Banguan Tower in Huangxiang, you can clearly see the Wei army gathering in the distance.
Just looking at the Wei army gathering, Liao Hua did not worry too much. After all, the current Tongguan is no longer comparable to the previous Tongguan.
The other side.
Inside the Wei army's tent.
Cao Zhen looked calm and said to the generals with a smile: "West Shu has just completed the move of the capital, and Tongguan will be unprepared at this time. He ordered the army to take a short rest and attack Tongguan immediately."
"General!" General Zuo Zhang He said: "Western Shu now has a gate tower built at Huangxiang Ban. If you want to conquer Tongguan, you must first conquer this gate tower."
"Yes!" Cao Zhen nodded and said, "What General Zhang said is absolutely true." After thinking for a moment, he said, "The road in Huangxiang Ban is narrow, which is not conducive to the march of our army. If we attack by force, it will be difficult to break through."<
/p>
After saying this, all the generals in the account were suspicious.
The passage can only accommodate one car and one horse, and there is a related building on the opposite side.
This——
Everyone stopped talking immediately because they didn't know how to open this entrance.
But Cao Zhen was not nervous at all. He looked around the generals and then said: "Send out a small group of troops later and pretend to attack Guanlou. There is no need to win."
"Our army cannot conquer the key problem, so the Shu army will inevitably relax its vigilance."
He said with a smile: "Wait until nightfall, and then send dozens of brave men to sneak into the city at night..."
Cao Zhen is the commander-in-chief. He has made a decision, and it is naturally difficult for others to refute it.
This time when they entered the pass again, the generals were not so confident. After all, the Shu Han now had powerful crossbows with a range of more than 500 steps, and several passes had been re-reinforced.
But Cao Zhen asked for orders to send troops, and the emperor also gave the order.
Now that the army has arrived outside Tongguan, there is no point in thinking about anything else.
They have no choice but to fight to the death. After their encounter with the Shu army in the past two years, they, the generals of the Wei Dynasty, have long been holding back their resentment.
Ten minutes at noon.
Five hundred Wei troops were the first to enter the Huangxiang Ban. They roared and rushed towards the Huangxiang Banguan Tower. Liao Hua, who was standing on the tower, couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, Wei people who don't know whether to live or die."
There are only 500 siege troops, but there are more than 1,000 defenders at Huangxiangban.
What else is there to fight in this battle?
Looking at the long team rushing towards the pass like crazy, Liao Hua and other Han sergeants were all relaxed and proud. In their opinion, these Wei soldiers would soon be killed in front of the pass.
Not long after, the Wei army that rushed to the front was already within the shooting range of the archers.
"Let it go!"
Liao Hua gave an order, and hundreds of archers immediately greeted him with a hail of arrows.
In the long and narrow passage, although the Wei army hurriedly raised their shields, they could not block the Han army's arrow rain. Dozens of these Wei soldiers were shot dead by the Han army before they could even rush to the pass.
The Wei army in the front was shot and killed, but the Wei army in the back still dared to advance. The battle only lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the Wei army in the back hurriedly withdrew from Huangxiang Ban.
"Hahaha!"
"With this Guan Tower here, Cao Wei also wants to enter Guanzhong?"
"Don't even think about it——"
Liao Hua was very proud and the soldiers were very excited.
Now in their eyes, Tongguan is an impregnable city, but they don't know if these Wei soldiers are out of their minds or what, they still want to break through Tongguan.
Can this be broken?
The first attack on the pass was frustrated, and hearing the laughter of the Shu army upstairs at the pass made the Wei army sergeant very depressed.
But Cao Zhen was not discouraged at all.
Instead, I looked at Huangxiang Banguan Tower from a distance and laughed secretly.
When the Wei army came to Huangxiang Ban, they only attacked once. Then they returned to camp and no longer made any plans to attack the city. This disappointed the Han army, which was originally prepared to continue hunting the Wei army.
Why not continue the attack?
That night——
There is no moon, it seems that God did it on purpose.
Except for a few torches on the high-rise building in Huangxiang Banguan, everything was pitch black.
There are more than a hundred people on duty at the gate. After all, the Wei army is stationed not far away. Naturally, the Han army will not give up their duty just because the Wei army is in such a mess during the day.
However, although the Han army was guarded by hundreds of soldiers, they did not believe that the Wei army dared to sneak through the gate at night. It would be difficult for them to pass even during the day, let alone at night.
Therefore, among the hundred or ten Han troops, except for a few patrolling the city, others rested against the city wall and stamped on the edge.
But at this time, dozens of Wei soldiers were slowly advancing on the narrow passage outside the city. They moved very slowly, and everyone even breathed very low, in order to prevent them from making any noise.
, each of them has a small wooden stick in his mouth.
The total length is 300 steps.
Nearly a hundred soldiers of the Wei army carried long ladders and kept approaching the Banguan Tower in Huangxiang. Maybe it was God's help, or maybe it was the carelessness of the Han army. I didn't expect them to have such a plan.
It doesn’t take a lot of effort.
On the cliff below the pass tower, more than a dozen Wei soldiers have gathered. They leaned on the mountain and watched the movements on the pass tower. Except for a few Han troops wandering back and forth from time to time, there was no other movement.
Suddenly——
The leader, Colonel Wei Jun, lightly patted his companions beside him.

This is their way of transmitting signals. Now they even hold their breath very low, let alone speak.
After he passed the signal, several companions around him slowly raised the long ladder they carried. However, in order to prevent the Han army from discovering it, the ladder slowly went up along the cliff and did not approach the tower.
I was worried that touching the city wall would attract the attention of the patrolling Han troops.
After spending almost a cup of tea, the three long ladders were still erected on the cliff on one side of the Guan Tower.
Although the gate tower was built in Huangxiang Ban, the Han army may not have thought that the Wei army would use this method to seize the gate in the future. In fact, the gate tower was not very high. The three-foot-high ladder was already higher than the top of the city.
.
After setting up the long ladder, the Wei soldiers did not climb up immediately.
Wait——
The Wei soldiers were still leaning against the cliff, quietly watching the Han troops on the tower. Several Han soldiers were patrolling the tower, and these Wei soldiers were counting the time it took for them to go back and forth.
At the same time, I also want to wait until the Han army relaxes.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the Wei troops below the city could vaguely hear, and the Han troops patrolling above the city were hitting Haqie from time to time. It seemed that they were already a little sleepy.
This——
It’s time to attack.
The leading primary school principal patted his companions again, and then climbed up the long ladder gently. They were very careful with every step they took, for fear of making the long ladder make any noise.
During the day, they carried out special treatment on these long ladders.
The long wooden ladder was all wrapped in black cloth, and the Wei troops participating in the operation were all dressed in black. As long as their movements were small enough and they didn't make any noise, it would be difficult for the Han troops in the city to spot them.
p>
After all, the sound of the rushing Yellow River next to them could somewhat cover them up.
One step, two steps.
Colonel Wei Jun stepped lightly on the wooden ladder. Because the wooden ladder was close to the cliff, although there was a slight sound, the sound was insignificant compared to the sound of the Yellow River water next to it.
After the first small school climbed a few steps on the long ladder, it did not attract the attention of the Han troops patrolling the city, and two more Wei soldiers followed closely behind.
A cup of tea.
The small school walking at the front has already reached the city gate, and at this time, the patrolling Han troops happened to have reached the side close to the Yellow River.
Without thinking too much, he immediately jumped to the top of the city.
Poof——
The primary school has fallen steadily to the end of Huangxiangban City.
When he landed at the top of the city, the Wei soldiers who followed him immediately accelerated their speed and climbed up quickly, because now they no longer worried about whether they would be discovered by the Han army, and they needed more people to board the city.
a.
Two.
Three.
When the third Wei army fell on the city wall, the patrolling Han army discovered something unusual.
"There is Wei Jun!"
The leading patrolling Han army shouted loudly, and the Han soldiers who were leaning against the city wall and resting were immediately surprised.
