At this time, the Xianbei army, under the training of Tan Shihuai, was much more powerful than the Huns during Huo Qubing's time. However, the current Han army is no longer what it used to be, and its combat power has seriously declined.
What's more, at this time, the Han army had lost the defensive natural moat of Yanmen Pass. In the case of field battles, it was no match for the Xianbei army. This also led to the fact that before Yanmen Pass was built, it was attacked by Tan Shihuai.
People destroyed it.
At this time, some weak-minded officials from aristocratic families raised their heads. They gave Emperor Huan an idea to lure the Huns into Bingzhou to deal with Tan Shihuai's Xianbei army.
At this time, the Xiongnu were no longer the same as before and could only rely on the Han.
But this time, their opponents were the Xianbei people who had occupied their land. In addition, the Han court promised to let them settle in Bingzhou, so these Huns were naturally willing to help the Han court deal with Tan Shihuai's Xianbei army.
But what Han Ting didn't expect was that this move not only did not frighten Tan Shihuai, but instead inspired him to fight. After that, he would attack the frontier counties of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou every year!<
/p>
Countless Han people were killed and plundered.
In order not to irritate Tan Shihuai, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty chose to compromise. The Han Dynasty and Xianbei finally reached an unspoken rule in secret, that is, the Han Dynasty would not send people to build Yanmen Pass, but Xianbei could not continue to invade the north of the Han Dynasty.
No one knows why Tan Shihuai agreed. The only thing everyone knows is that there was a brief period of peace in the Northern Territory of the Han Dynasty.
However, this situation did not last long.
In 168 AD, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty died. Since he had no sons, Liu Hong was elected as the emperor from among the clan.
When Tan Shihuai saw the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, he thought it was an opportunity and personally led his troops south. However, this time he met Wang Yu's father, Wang Teng, and was completely defeated in the clouds.
Moreover, just after Tan Shihuai was defeated by Wang Teng, another piece of bad news came, that is, the Han court accepted its fate, and Wang Teng's elder brother, Wang Chong, Wang Jingyun, took up the post of Yanmen prefect!
After Wang Chong became the governor of Yanmen, he took advantage of his family's advantages to bring some small aristocratic families and wealthy families in Yanmen County under his command. He also implemented benevolent policies, vigorously developed industry and commerce, attracted refugees, and expanded the population.
After that, Wang Chong punished some corrupt officials in the county internally, so that the politics would be peaceful and the people would be prosperous and healthy.
Externally, brothers Wang Chong and Wang Teng joined forces to fight against the enemy.
Wang Chong was responsible for building Yanmen Pass, while Wang Teng was outside to resist the Xianbei army!
Against this background, Yanmen Pass was rebuilt again, and the defense level of the built Yanmen Pass was even better than before!
Tan Shihuai has personally learned this many times.
It can be said that the Yanmen Pass in front of him has become an obsession in Tan Shihuai's heart. He vowed to capture this pass and defeat Wang Chong. He also wanted to defeat Wang Teng, who had given him such shame and humiliation.
Now is a good opportunity.
Therefore, Tan Shihuai will personally lead the attack.
"Murong Han, Murong Zhao, you two should also go to attack the city this time. Too many people from the Murong tribe are buried here, and their blood cannot be lost in vain."
"The current Yanmen Pass is already at the end of its life. As long as we put a little more pressure on it, this pass will be reduced to ashes, and my Xianbei wish to go south will be realized!" Tan Shihuai looked at the Yanmen Pass in front of him,
Said very solemnly.
"Please rest assured Shanyu, the people of my Murong tribe are all warriors. They are willing to fight for Shanyu and Xianbei. Today is the day when Yanmen Pass will be destroyed." The two said in unison!
Murong Han, the eldest concubine son of Emperor Wu Xuan Murong Xuan, half-brother of Emperor Murong Huang of Civilization, and a famous former Yan general during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
Historical records: "Murong Han was brave, good at shooting, and resourceful. He was highly valued and favored by his father Murong Xin, and was given the important task of killing the enemy and setting up battles."
Perhaps it was precisely because Murong Han was too capable that he would seriously threaten Murong Huang's status. He was jealous of his younger brother Murong Huang and was forced to leave Duanbu and later return to Qianyan!
First, he proposed a plan to defeat Goguryeo, and then defeated Xianbei Yuwenbu.
However, in troubled times, having too much power is also a mistake. In the end, Murong Han could not escape Murong Huang's fear and was sentenced to death.
But these alone are enough to prove its ability.
As for Murong Zhao, he was a heroic young man who had fought with Murong Xin and was deeply loved by Murong Xin. Naturally, his abilities would not be much worse.
"Xianbei warriors, follow me and kill."
Following Murong Han's order, the Xianbei army's attack began again.
The same formula, the same taste, but it is still disgusting to use. Faced with the Xianbei cavalry's siege and shooting, no matter how strong Wang Chong's commanding ability is, he can only command the shield hand to resist.
After all, they did not have long-range weapons to fight back, so they could only watch the Xianbei cavalry running wild in front of Yanmen Pass without paying any attention to the Yanmen Pass defenders.
Murong Han took this opportunity, holding a spear made of fine steel, and personally led the charge towards Yanmen Pass in front of him. Since Murong Han took the lead, the Xianbei soldiers' morale was greatly boosted. Groups of Xianbei soldiers carried simple
of the ladder and launched a desperate charge.
In the past half month, the Xianbei army's siege equipment has been very crude. They only have ordinary ladders, and they are very crudely made. It is precisely because the Xianbei army has a single siege technique that Wang Chong can defend until now. Otherwise, no matter how strong Wang Chong's defensive capabilities are and the Yanmen Pass defenders are brave and skilled in fighting, they will not be able to defend the Yanmen Pass in front of them under this huge gap in troops.
Because the Xianbei army alone, which is several times stronger than the Yanmen defenders, is enough to crush Yanmen Pass alive.

"Archers, listen to the order. We have very few arrows. We have to wait for these Xianbei thieves to get close before releasing the arrows. We have to ensure accurate strikes. Every arrow cannot be wasted."
When Wang Chong, who was on the pass wall, noticed that the Xianbei people were beginning to attack Yanmen Pass, he immediately shouted loudly.
When the Xianbei people had just retreated, Wang Chong counted the remaining arrows, and removed the arrows that the Xianbei people had shot on the wall or on the corpses for use.
At this time, they no longer care about the old rule that the deceased is the greatest. If Yanmen Pass is lost, they will all have to play.
In this way, with the concerted efforts of the Yanmen Pass defenders, more than 6,000 arrows were collected during this period, which was enough for the archers on the wall to fire more than ten rounds.
More than ten rounds may seem like a lot, but what you need to know is that under the crazy offensive of hundreds of thousands of Xianbei troops, it only takes ten minutes!
