After looking around to make sure that no one was alive, Lu Bu jerked the red rabbit horse under him, and the red rabbit horse suddenly disappeared like a stream of light.
From the first checkpoint to Hangu Pass, there are four checkpoints along the way. There is one checkpoint almost a mile or two away. It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, the existence of these checkpoints will definitely be able to immediately
Be aware of the incoming enemy.
However, this time these checkpoints encountered monsters like Lu Bu. To destroy a checkpoint with one person's power was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.
Of course, it is not too difficult for strong men like Lu Bu and Dian Wei to destroy a checkpoint immediately without letting anyone go.
At this moment, Lu Bu was standing in front of the last checkpoint. Standing here, surrounded by ruins, that checkpoint had been easily razed to the ground by Lu Bu. Looking from a distance, you could even clearly see the tall
Hanguguan City Wall.
This place is only two or three miles away from Hangu Pass, and we can already clearly see the movement of Hangu Pass.
A group of cavalry slowly slowed down when they approached Hangu Pass for more than ten miles. Taishi Ci, as Lu Bu's deputy, took over the command of the army from Lu Bu at this moment and was leading the group of cavalry slowly.
Approaching Hangu Pass.
Naturally, Taishi Ci had no objection to Lu Bu's plan. Like Lu Bu, he naturally wanted to make achievements in this battle and show his own style.
What could be more stunning than a sneak attack on Hangu Pass, or even breaking Hangu Pass in one battle?
Although Taishi Ci is not optimistic about this move, he is not optimistic about it. If he does not have the courage to give it a try, then he is not Taishi Ci.
Looking at the ruins of the checkpoint and the corpses in front of him from a distance, Taishi Ci could tell that this was definitely Lu Bu's doing.
Even though he could destroy a checkpoint in a very short period of time, Taishi Ci was really not sure that he could destroy a strong fortress and hundreds of elite soldiers in one blow like Lu Bu did.
However, with Lu Bu leading the way, Taishi Ci naturally felt at ease. Unless Lu Bu himself was willing to be exposed, it would be impossible for these soldiers alone to detect Lu Bu's whereabouts in advance.
The army quickly passed through the checkpoints that were destroyed everywhere. Even if they were approaching Hangu Pass, they did not disturb the direction of Hangu Pass.
Taishi Ci soon saw a figure riding on a war horse with its back to him, and in front of it was the towering city wall.
Taking a deep breath, Tai Shi Ci immediately stepped forward and said: "General Lu!"
Lu Bu turned around and glanced at Taishi Ci and the army behind him. A gleam flashed in his eyes and said: "General Taishi, follow me and charge for a while."
Taishi Ci nodded at Lu Bu, and then raised his spear. There was no shouting or slogans, but the morale of all the cavalry was high. Especially when they saw Lu Bu's figure, all the soldiers seemed to have found their faith.
A huge evil wolf appeared in the sky. This evil wolf roared silently and suddenly descended, adding a strange aura to this cavalry army.
The army accelerated instantly and headed straight for Hangu Pass at an astonishing speed.
At this time, the army was actually only two or three miles away from Hangu Pass. There had been no movement before. In addition, the defenders at Hangu Pass had too much trust in those checkpoints, so no more sentinels were arranged to keep an eye on them.
Therefore, when the army approached Hangu Pass, it did not alert the defenders in Hangu Pass.
But when tens of thousands of cavalry started running, both the sound of the earth shaking and the billowing smoke suddenly alerted the defenders at Hangu Pass.
It's not that Lu Bu and the others don't want to sneak close to Hangu Pass, the key is that it's impossible to approach Hangu Pass in this way in the last few miles.
As long as there is such a second-rate general on the city wall, if you look around, you may notice that tens of thousands of troops are approaching.
Even Lu Bu himself had never thought that he could lead an army of tens of thousands to approach Hangu Pass for several miles without being discovered by the defenders. Even if he was discovered at this moment, it would not matter.
Anyway, this distance is only a short time for the cavalry blessed with military souls, and at this time, the Hangu Pass defenders may not be able to react.
As long as the Hangu Pass defenders are not prepared, this time is enough time for them to be attacked by Hangu Pass. When the morale of the troops above Hangu Pass is in turmoil, their morale will inevitably drop sharply, and Lu Bu will be sure to attack Hangu Pass and open the door.
City gate, and entered Hangu Pass in one fell swoop.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
Sharp roars came from the city wall, followed by the desolate horns of horns, which spread throughout Hangu Pass.
Gao Gan, who had just finished his inspection tour, returned to his mansion and had not had time to take a sip of tea when he suddenly heard the desolate sound of the horn.
Just from the rapid sound of the horn, you can tell that a powerful enemy is coming.
Gao Gan suddenly stood up and strode out of the living room while shouting at the soldiers who had reacted: "Put on your armor for me, General!"
Immediately, several soldiers fetched Gao Gan's armor. When Gao Gan appeared at the gate, he was already dressed in shiny armor. He took a spear from the soldiers, and Gao Gan was filled with evil spirits.
He shouted: "Follow me to check who came to invade Hangu Pass."
In fact, there is no need to guess, high-ranking cadres can probably guess that the people who appeared in front of Hangu Pass at this time were most likely the vanguard army sent by the Luoyang court.
But what the senior officials didn't expect was that the other party actually wanted to attack Hangu Pass. Didn't they take the guards like them seriously?
After all, Hangu Pass is also a famous and important town in the world. With tens of thousands of troops guarding it, it is not easy to break through. Hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated without seeing the Hulao Pass.
Blocked by Hulao Pass?
The heroes of Hangu Pass were not under Hulao Pass, so senior officials did not believe that anyone could break through the defenses of Hangu Pass, especially if they were well prepared.
On the city wall, Xu Rong is definitely a qualified general. Since he was stationed at Hangu Pass, he has rarely walked down the city wall. It can be said that he has been on the city wall most of the time.
When Lu Bu led the army, Xu Rong happened to be on the city wall, so Xu Rong appeared immediately, stabilized the panic of the army, and made the best arrangements.
Because Xu Rong stayed on the city wall for a long time, he was very familiar with the defenders on the city wall. Those defenders were also familiar with Xu Rong, so Xu Rong could make arrangements in a very short time and even send orders
Going down to every commander, it can be seen how familiar Xu Rong is with the defenders on the city wall.
Here Lu Bu led an army and appeared under Hangu Pass. Lu Bu rose into the sky, waved his halberd, and suddenly a sharp light came straight towards Hangu Pass.
"Lu Bu is here, why don't you open the city and surrender quickly!"
Lu Bu's name is absolutely powerful in the world. When the defenders on the city wall saw Lu Bu, their expressions changed one by one. However, when Xu Rong saw Lu Bu, he raised his eyebrows and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Army formation rises!"
As Xu Rong shouted, he saw the evil aura rising from the endless army formation and filling the Hangu Pass. In the blink of an eye, Lu Bu's blow hit the billowing evil aura. That extremely sharp blow actually
The evil spirit of the military formation was eliminated, leaving only a shallow scratch on the high city wall.
"Um!"
Looking at the heavily guarded appearance above Hangu Pass, this was obviously very different from Lu Bu's expectation. This made Lu Bu look at the general above Hangu Pass with some surprise.
"Who are you? Tell me your name quickly. Maybe Lu can spare your life!"
Xu Rong laughed loudly, looked at Lu Bu and said: "Xiliang Xu Rong is here, Lu Bu, this road is blocked, why don't you retreat quickly!"
Lu Bu glanced at Xu Rong in surprise, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, so you are the Xiliang Army?"
Xu Rong stared at Lu Bu and said, "Tie Lu, thanks to Governor Dong's trust in you, you actually harmed Master Dong. Today Xu will avenge Master Dong!"
Lu Bu laughed loudly and said: "Who do I think you are? It turns out that I am a subordinate of that old man Dong Zhuo. Why, Dong Zhuo is dead, and you people have become Yuan Shao's minions."
While Lu Bu and Xu Rong were exchanging words, tens of thousands of cavalrymen shot out bows and arrows. Suddenly, a black mass of arrows roared towards the Hangu Pass city wall and covered it.
Xu Rong looked at the arrows that were like a rainstorm, waved his hand and shouted: "Raise your shield!"
The shields were immediately raised, and a snapping sound was heard. The arrows were almost blocked by the shields. Only a few unlucky ones were hit by the arrows, but the damage was almost negligible.
Lu Bu couldn't help but frowned when he saw this situation. In his plan, he should lead his army to Hangu Pass, just in time to catch the defenders off guard, and then he would open the gate and the army would go straight to Hangu Pass.
.
But what he didn't expect was that the defense of Hangu Pass was so tight. Xu Rong actually stayed on the city wall and reacted immediately, making it impossible for Lu Bu to break the city.
Now he was just shooting a wave of arrows tentatively. Just looking at the perfect defense methods displayed on Hangu Pass, Lu Bu knew in his heart that it was impossible to break through Hangu Pass.
At this moment, Tai Shici appeared next to Lu Bu, glanced at Hangu Pass, and said with a solemn expression: "General Lu, Hangu Pass has been prepared for a long time and is heavily fortified. With just our few men and horses, we are afraid that it will be an attack."
We can’t break Hangu Pass.”
Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, who has ever been so loyal to the guard general of Hangu Pass?"
However, Lu Bu and others, even if they see no hope, are by no means those who give up easily. Lu Bu nodded towards Tai Shi Ci and said: "General Ziyi, I will go and meet with you later."
General guarding the city, you will lead the army and act according to the opportunity."
Taishi Ci glanced at Lu Bu, and saw Lu Bu rising into the sky, holding a painted halberd and looking at the soaring Hangu Pass in the distance. At this time, the evil aura over Hangu Pass's defenders was soaring to the sky, and it completely formed a whole with Hangu Pass.
Defense, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart after seeing it.
This evil spirit suppresses a general like him too much. It can be said that once he is trapped in the enemy's formation, even a top military general will have most of his strength suppressed.
At this time, just looking at the strong evil aura, Lu Bu gave up his plan to enter Hangu Pass on his own.
Xu Rong also looked at Lu Bu and noticed the change in Lu Bu's expression. Xu Rong's lips showed a somewhat proud look. When it came to force, he thought he might not be able to defeat Lu Bu but when it came to his ability to lead an army.
, but with a large army in hand, Xu Rong was absolutely sure that he could defeat Lu Bu easily with the help of the army.
Just like in the Xiliang army, none of the generals such as Li Jue and Guo Si could be Lu Bu's opponent, but as long as the army is in hand, these people can completely suppress a strong man like Lu Bu.
Xu Rong had such confidence and certainty, so he was not afraid of Lu Bu using strong force to enter the city. If Lu Bu really dared to do this, he would not mind leaving Lu Bu behind.
Just as Xu Rong and Lu Bu were confronting each other, Gao Gan led his soldiers onto the city wall and appeared next to Xu Rong. He glanced at Lu Bu in the air from a distance, couldn't help but twitching his eyes, and said to Xu Rong: "Thanks to General Xu, otherwise, only
The arrangements for Hangu Pass are in danger!"
Xu Rong raised his hands to Gao Gan and said: "It's a good thing that the general has lived up to his command. Lu Bu only has ten thousand cavalry, but he actually wants to imitate others and attack the city. How can we let him succeed with the general in charge?"
Gao Gan laughed loudly, looked at Xu Rong and said with a smile: "How could Gao take over the work of General Xu? It can be said that if there was no general, it would be absolutely impossible for Gao to face Lu Bu's sudden attack."
Easy. When the general comes, Gao will definitely demonstrate it to General Xu in front of the general."
Seeing Gao Gan and Xu Rong chatting and laughing there, as if they didn't take him to heart, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. Just looking at the extremely strong evil spirit, Lu Bu could only vent it out.
He struck hard at Hangu Pass.
However, after the military formation wasted the blow, it turned out that it only knocked away a few city defenders. If this blow had not been wasted by the military formation, it would probably have killed hundreds of elite soldiers on the spot.
Xu Rong shouted: "Archer, shoot!"
Suddenly a group of archers bent their bows and nocked arrows and fired at Lu Bu. If they were just ordinary arrows, Lu Bu would never take it seriously. Even if he stood there without any defense, these arrows would not be able to hurt Lu Bu.
However, the arrows fired by this group of archers glowed with light one after another after being blessed by the military formation.
Lu Bu's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and he drew a circle in front of him with a halberd in his hand. He only heard the clanging sound, and the arrows were swept away one after another, but another wave of arrows followed.
The arrows came one after another without any interruption. Lu Bu kept dancing his halberd, and his body gradually moved away from the wall of Hangu Pass.
