Huguan is located at the southeastern end of Taihang Mountains, with many mountains in its territory. Even the name of this place is due to the two mountains facing each other. The mountains are shaped like pots and the terrain is dangerous. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao's subordinates Gao Gan first surrendered and then rebelled against Cao Cao and defended Huguan. Cao Cao led his army to personally march through the Taijing Yangchang Ban, one of the Eight Paths of Taihang. There are many mountains, ravines and sheer cliffs.
Therefore, Cao Cao left behind the eternal famous poem "Bitter Cold Journey": "Going north to the Taihang Mountains is so difficult and so majestic! The Yangchangzaka is bent, and the wheels are destroyed. The trees are so desolate! The sound of the north wind is sad. The bear squats on me, and the tiger Leopards crow across the road. There are few people in the valleys, how can the snow fall? I stretch my neck and sigh, and I have many things to cherish when I travel far.
Why am I depressed? I want to return eastward. The water is deep and the bridge is dead, and the middle road is wandering. Lost in confusion, no place to stay in the evening. The journey was far away, and both men and horses were hungry. Carrying a bag to collect salary, holding an ax and ice to make mince. The sad poem of Dongshan makes me sad. "
And Bingzhou, as the place where Li Xiang started, has always been regarded as a top priority by Li Xiang. Yanmen Pass serves as the north gate of Bingzhou, and Li Xiang left Meng Tian, the peerless peak-level commander, to sit here.
Similarly, at Huguan, which is the southern gateway to Bingzhou, Li Xiang also left Lian Po, the peerless peak-level commander, to sit here.
"Little Ran Min, do you dare to step forward and fight!" Under the Hu Pass, Yuan Hong pointed his long stick forward and said in a bad tone.
Although Yuan Hong had been reminded by Yuan Chonghuan before, he already understood that it was a bit hasty for him to rashly promise to take the lead in the battle, but now that the words had been spoken out, Yuan Hong could not contradict his words and could only secretly write it down to Gongsun Xiaoer in his heart. One stroke.
Of course, Yuan Hong didn't take this challenge too seriously. The strongest one in Huguan was Ran Min, but Yuan Hong was still confident in dealing with Ran Min.
Therefore, due to a new defeat, Yuan Chonghuan rested for a few days and waited for the siege equipment behind him. After that, he finally continued to send troops to Huguan, and Yuan Hong couldn't wait to challenge. .
"General, I am requesting to go to war!" Looking at Yuan Hong's arrogant look behind the closed door, Ran Min immediately asked Xue Rengui for instructions.
"General, you are sure of defeating Yuan Hong!" Xue Rengui frowned and said to Ran Min while looking at the majestic Yuan Hong below the city.
"This... general is not sure!" Ran Min said helplessly.
Ran Min couldn't open his eyes and tell lies. After all, he and Yue Lun had only managed to tie with Yuan Hong before. What's more, even if he said that he was sure to beat Yuan Hong, Xue Rengui would never believe it.
Moreover, if there was a battle today, he would probably be the only one to face Yuan Hong. Xue Rengui, as the commander of an army, would be responsible for commanding all armies, while Yue Lun was in retreat.
After all, if we really talk about it, the current Huguan situation is not urgent. Even if Yue Lun hangs up for a few days, there will be no problems. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let Yue Lun break through with all his strength. Later, if the fighter plane arrives, Yue Lun can also provide greater assistance.
"Rat! Do you dare to hide in the pass and be a tortoise?" Yuan Hong saw that no one had come out to challenge for such a long time, and his words became even more arrogant, hoping to inspire the generals in the pass to come out again.
However, what kind of people Xue Rengui and Lian Po were, how could they be affected by Yuan Hong's little tricks. And if the general doesn't nod, others don't have the right even if they want to fight.
"General Lian Po, those 10,000 prisoners of war should have already set off!" He was too lazy to talk to Yuan Hong. If Yuan Hong was not tired, he would just play by himself in the pass. Instead, Xue Rengui talked with Lian Po about other things.
"General, Chief Han Fei and Generals Li Lang and Zhang Huan are responsible for escorting them personally, and Navy General Han Shizhong is responsible for transshipment. They set off last night!" Lian Po replied with a smile.
Li Xiang wanted to use the prisoners from the two states as cannon fodder to attack Tongguan, but Xue Rengui sent the 10,000 prisoners of war he had captured before.
Most of these prisoners of war and the 60,000 enemy troops in Guanxia were fathers, sons, brothers, or relatives and friends. Xue Rengui himself wanted to use these prisoners to deal with their fathers, sons, brothers, relatives and friends, which was a bit difficult, but he used them on the Tongguan battlefield to be responsible for consumption. Tongguan's military strength is just right.
Anyway, these prisoners are not related to the Sui army in Tongguan. With a hundred thousand soldiers behind them forcing them to do so, they can naturally make a choice.
Moreover, if these 10,000 prisoners were reorganized, they would be much more powerful than those prisoners. These talents could really be used to consume Tongguan's power.
"Come here, raise your bow!" Yuan Hong first scolded himself, and then called a few soldiers with louder voices to join him in scolding. However, nearly an hour passed, but there was no response when the pot was closed. It was obvious that Not willing to fight anymore.
Therefore, Yuan Hong also had to find another channel to vent his anger. Therefore, like many people, Yuan Hong also wanted to show off his archery skills and shoot down a few big flags for fun.
Although Yuan Hong is not as good at bows and arrows as Hou Yi and Xue Rengui, as a general in the army, he is still at least accurate. What's more, Yuan Hong's target is a fixed target and will not move.
"Boom!" With three consecutive arrows, two flags crashed down from the Hu Pass, one of which was embroidered with the Chinese character Jin and the other with the Chinese character Xue.
"Young boy Yuan Hong, you dare to show off your archery skills!" Xue Rengui said disdainfully, and at the same time, there was a hint of chill in his words.
Indeed, it took three arrows to shoot down two flags. Xue Rengui did not take this archery skill seriously at all. If it had been Xue Rengui who had shot it, there would have been no need for the third arrow.
"Come here, go get my Sky-shattering Bow!" Others have already shot your flag red, so Xue Rengui naturally wants to retaliate.
"Slow down, general, you can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. Why don't you leave it to the general to teach this madman a lesson!" As soon as Xue Rengui finished speaking, a man holding a huge bow and carrying a huge iron box and a quiver behind his back The big man stepped forward.
"In this case, General Hou Yi will be able to help!" Seeing that it was Hou Yi who spoke, Xue Rengui readily agreed.
Although Hou Yi never revealed his unique skills or his strongest strength, even so, his archery skills were no longer inferior to Xue Rengui's.
Therefore, Xue Rengui would naturally not refuse Hou Yi's request for war.
Nowadays, Xue Rengui has already become famous. There are not many opportunities to perform like this once more, and there are not many opportunities to perform like this once less. Rather than doing this, it would be better to give this opportunity to Hou Yi, who is still unknown.
