When Qin Bin’s troops were marching, Lü Bu, who came out of Luoyang, quickly caught up with Li Bin’s troops with eight thousand elite and prefecture wolf horses.

The discord between Lü Bu’s Union Army and the Western Liang Army was already a matter of the surface, and the Western Liang Army units looked down on Lü Bu as a disloyal and unfilial person, and Dong Zhuo loved Lü Bu very much, which made the Western Liang troops have a lot of jealousy in their hearts.

And Lü Bu is the kind of person who is proud and arrogant, especially in martial courage to overwhelm the generals of Western Liang, which is even more despised by the Western Liang troops, which also leads to the fact that the Union State Army cannot see the Liang State Army clearly at some levels.

What’s more, Dong Zhuo actually did not find a way to mediate, but ignored this antagonistic phenomenon.

Therefore, after Lü Bu caught up with Li Wei, he did not join forces.

Lü Bu just took his generals to see Li Wei, and after learning from Li Wei that King Hongnong was leading his troops to Hangu Pass, he ignored Li Wei and led his troops to chase in the direction of Hangu Pass.

Seeing that Lü Bu was so rude, Li Wei was even more resentful in his heart, but he had just suffered a defeat, and it was difficult to tell Dong Zhuo anything, so he had to sulk himself and urge the pawns to continue to move forward….

……

After a rapid march for most of the day, Qin Bin led his troops into the Hangu Pass Realm.

After finding a secret place to temporarily station, Qin Bin released a large number of exploration horses to let him explore the current situation of Hangu Pass as soon as possible.

Not long after, Tan Ma reported that there were about 3,000 people stationed at Hangu Pass, and the guard’s surname was Li, who was an unknown person, and that the defense of Guanzhong was not strict, that the city was in disrepair, and that the weapons for defending the city were not perfect.

After listening to the report of the horse, Qin Bin and several people gathered around to discuss.

The first to speak was Chen Qingzhi, “Junshang, according to what Tan Ma said, it is not difficult to capture the Hangu Pass with our current forces, and the subordinates are concerned about the direction of Luoyang. ”

Lu Zhi bowed his head slightly and took the words, “Just as Ziyun said, after Li Wei is defeated, Dong Zhuo will definitely send elite cavalry to pursue. Whether it is the Xiliang Iron Rider or the Union State Wolf Rider, once there are a large number of them, it is difficult for us and other existing military forces to resist.

Unless, after we capture the Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo will not arrive until after we capture it…”

After listening to Chen Qingzhi and Lu Zhi’s words, Qin Shubao also spoke, “Your Highness, how about Yuqiong leading the Xuanjia army to lead the chasing soldiers?” ”

Qin Bin shook his head, “It’s just that Shubao is not enough, Luoyang’s target for chasing soldiers is me, and it will be better for me to show up.” In this way, Ziyun took all the troops except the Xuanjia Army and stormed Hangu Pass. ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he quickly spoke, “Your Highness must not take risks, old minister…”

Qin Bin raised his hand to interrupt Lu Zhi’s words, and said, “This is not a risk, I am not without a backhand, Lu Shi can rest assured to follow me to meet the enemy.” ”

Hearing Qin Bin say this, Lu Zhi had to say no more.

Chen Qingzhi said, “Since the sovereign has made arrangements, then his subordinates must use the fastest speed to take the Hangu Pass. ”

Qin Bin nodded, “Very good, I will leave you six ladders, three trench bridges, five catapults, five crashers, and six hundred young and strong people who can operate siege equipment.” ”

Chen Qingzhi smiled even more confidently, “In this way, Qingzhi is ten percent sure.” ”

Soon, Chen Qingzhi received siege equipment and six hundred Qingzhuang, plus the previous light horse, white robe and crossbowman, etc., Chen Qingzhi also had more than two thousand troops in his hands, thinking that with Chen Qingzhi’s ability, there should be no accident in conquering Hangu Pass.

When Chen Qingzhi was preparing to attack the city, Qin Bin led the eighty Xuanjia army and took Lu Zhi and Qin Shubao to Luoyang to the only way to Hangu Pass.

As for Tang Ji, Qin Bin let her hide in Chen Qing’s army, after all, compared to siege battles, the encounter on Qin Bin’s side was even more dangerous.

After observing the terrain, Qin Bin and Lu Zhi both found that although there were mountains on both sides of this main road, they were not suitable for ambushes, but if the troops were enough, then it would be a situation of being a husband and wife.

Lu Zhi’s brows furrowed, “Your Highness, I have few soldiers, and if I start a war here, it will be difficult for me to survive.” ”

Qin Bin nodded and said, “Indeed. But what if there are two thousand elite soldiers? ”

Lu Zhi and Qin Shubao’s eyes lit up, and Qin Shubao asked directly, “Your Highness has reinforcements arrived?” ”

“Good.” Not long after Qin Bin answered, he saw a pawn of about 2,000 people and more than 20 large carriages loaded with ordnance and other goods approaching at a rapid pace.

Knowing that it was Qin Bin’s reinforcements, the group of people directly greeted them.

After Lu Zhi and Qin Shubao saw the equipment of the reinforcements, they were relieved.

Because this is a crossbow pawn dedicated to restraining cavalry.

When Qin Shubao arranged for the crossbowmen to be stationed, Lu Zhi beside Qin Bin sighed, “His Highness is going to use Li Shaoqing’s chariot array?” ”

Qin Bin nodded and said, “Yes, Li Shaoqing was in Mobei back then, five thousand pawns against eighty thousand Xiongnu cavalry, if not for the final arrow exhaustion, it is impossible to say who killed the deer.”

It’s a pity that a fierce general was executed by Emperor Wu because his whole family was killed, resulting in a fraudulent surrender that turned into a real surrender. ”

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and said, “Emperor Wu did in his later years…”

Shaking his head, feeling that it was difficult to say the right and wrong of Emperor Wudi of Han, Lu Zhi changed, “With this car array, as long as the chasing soldiers do not have catapults and other equipment, I think they will not be able to intervene in the battle of Hangu Pass.” ”

Qin Bin said, “There will be no large equipment, you must know that we are all one man and two horses all the way, if you want to catch up with us, the chasing troops sent by Dong Zhuo must be mainly cavalry, with this kind of restraint cavalry formation, it is not a problem to hold out for a day or two.” As for the pawns, when the other party arrived, we all drank in Hangu Guancheng. ”

Lu Zhi blinked, “It seems that His Highness has great confidence in Chen Ziyun.” ”

Qin Bin smiled, “Of course. ”

As Qin Bin was talking to Lu Zhi, Tanma reported that dozens of miles away, a cavalry of thousands of people was rushing to this side, and the banners were ‘Cavalry Captain’ and ‘Lü’.

After listening to the report of the tanma, Lu Zhi said, “It’s Lü Bu, it seems that he chased him with his own soldiers and horses.” ”

Qin Bin nodded and said, “It should be right. I had a relationship with Lü Bu when I went out of Luoyang, and Uncle Bao could be against Lü Bu, but we didn’t need to fight with it, we just needed to delay time, wait for Ziyun to capture the Hangu Pass, and then we could defend the pass.

Master Lu, this battle is entrusted to you to coordinate. ”

“Whoosh!”

Lu Zhi responded and returned to the train formation to make pre-war arrangements.

Qin Bin, on the other hand, went to the back of the car formation and drank on the newly erected high platform.

Qin Shubao stood around the high platform with the Xuanjia army, and in addition to being on guard, he was also ready to support Lu Zhi at a critical moment.

Not long after, Lü Bu came to the front of the valley with his own soldiers and horses, and when he saw that there was such a battle on the only official road in the valley, he was also taken aback, and quickly asked the soldiers and horses to stop.

Lü Bu frowned and looked from afar, only to see that the only official road in the valley was blocked by large cars, and I didn’t know how many pawns were hidden behind the big cars.

What made Lu Bu even more unhappy was that not far behind the car array, there was a newly built simple high platform.

On the high platform, under the banner of King Nahonong, there was a young man who was drinking slowly.

It seemed that he didn’t care about the thousands of elite cavalry brought by Lu Bu at all.

At this time, Lü Bubu’s general Zhang Liao came forward, “General, is King Hongnong under the banner?” ”

Lv Bu bowed his head, “I have seen Liu Zhan a few times, although it is a little far away, but that posture should be Liu Zhan himself.” ”

Zhang Liao said again, “General, although King Hongnong is in front of him, the terrain here is not conducive to cavalry charging, and as for that car formation, if there are crossbowmen behind the car formation, it will be difficult for me and other cavalry to break through.” ”

“Hmph!”

Lü Bu snorted coldly, although he was unwilling in his heart, but he was not a fool, and his many years of experience in fighting outside Serbia made Lü Bu very clear that the foreign cavalry outside Serbia had never been afraid of the Great Han cavalry.

What the alien cavalry is most afraid of is the strong crossbow of the Great Han, especially the Great Han crossbowman who relies on the walled city to hold on, which is the embodiment of evil spirits in the eyes of the foreign cavalry.

Lü Bu knew that in order to deal with the kind of crossbowmen in front of him who relied on large carts to form formations, he had to hold heavy armored pawns with heavy shields to break through, or there were siege equipment such as catapults, otherwise with thousands of wolves riding on his hands, even if the whole army was destroyed, he might not be able to break this car formation.

Lü Bu said somewhat unwillingly, “If it weren’t for the fact that the camp was not conducive to a long-distance attack, and if it didn’t follow, why would this formation be afraid!” ”

Zhang Liao on the side said again, “Indeed. General, let’s wait for Li Wei and Fan Chou’s pawns. ”

Lu Bu asked with an unhappy expression, “Wen Yuan, how long will it take for those two fools to arrive?” ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while, “Many of their troops are pawns, and if they can arrive before dark, it can already be regarded as a forced march.” If it is so consumed with King Hongnong, then it doesn’t matter, but why doesn’t King Hongnong continue to abscond? What’s the point of bringing troops here to block us? ”
