In front of the towering Hangu Pass, the sound of killing two armies shook the sky, arrows splashed like rain, and people kept rolling down the ladder, and the fighting sounded through the sky for a moment. Some burning horses were stirring up thick smoke and emitted sporadic ghost fires. From time to time, one or two sparks popped out, as an obstacle, and it had already tried its best.

The imperial guards on the top of the city kept rotating their bows and pulling strings, aiming at the invading enemies below the pass. At this time, there was no need to consider the correct head problem at all. Instead, the arm strength was tested. Even if they could not hit the target, they could suppress the opponent's offensive momentum. Finally, the army in Guanzhong dispersed and left to the corpses on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the imperial soldiers standing on the top of the city relaxed their minds. Many people collapsed in place, rushing with their thick breath and resting and weak arms. What wave is this?

Only by witnessing it with your own eyes can we know the bravery of the Guanzhong Army. We don’t know whether they were fighting desperately while consciously and spontaneously approaching each other. We looked for key areas to try to break through Hangu Pass.

Fortunately, I finally resisted it. Just as I was thinking this, a melodious sound of trumpets came from outside Hangu Pass, and the war drums rumbled across the earth, making the archers who had just relaxed their nerves tighten again. Sure enough, with the sound of war drums, Guanzhong soldiers surging again appeared on the horizon, more and more from points to surface, gathering into a torrent below the pass.

The archer who had just relaxed his sore shoulders had to stand behind the wall again. Some soldiers cursed at the back in anger, "What are you still standing there? Carry the arrow up."

"Is Sima Jian crazy? Is it crazy with the Guanzhong army?" In Hangu Pass, the King of Dongping, who was in charge of the three armies, cursed. He had just arrived at Hangu Pass, and the Luoyang Imperial Army had not yet taken a breath, and quickly ushered in the attack of the Guanzhong army's storm. After wave after wave, these Guanzhong soldiers were desperate?

"King of Qin, ah, Sima Jian is a man who has been guarding Chang'an for ten years. He is very majestic. It is normal for his subordinates to be brave and fearless of death." General Yang Wei, General Mo, originally wanted to say that His Highness, the King of Qin, was unhappy when he saw Sima Shi, the King of Dongping, changed his words temporarily, "This time the Guanzhong army left Tongguan, and in an instant, it was a time when morale was strong. It is not a bad thing to temporarily avoid its edge."

"Yes, yes! It's not a bad thing." General Sun Fu, General Zhe Chong, Li Yan, also spoke one after another, with the idea of ​​guarding Hangu Pass to the death. Now Sima Jian's army is approaching, and the defense is still going to be suppressed, so why bother going out to fight?

Even if the Luoyang Imperial Army has a higher combat effectiveness, the number of imperial troops who came to Hangu Pass this time was only 50,000. Outside the pass, Sima Jian's army was 100,000. Who would be willing to fight to the death?

That's right, there are only 50,000 people, which is more than enough to defend Hangu Pass, but if you want to take the initiative to attack and repel Sima Jian, these troops are insufficient. Luoyang's imperial guards do have more than 100,000. But 20,000 of them are the garrison forces of the palace. When King Zhao added Jiuxi, given the lessons of Sima Yun's 700 people surrounding him and beat him, he dispatched 30,000 people to defend his Prime Minister's Mansion, plus the 10,000 troops of the Eastern Palace, the garrisons of the city gates everywhere, etc...

Now there are only 50,000 troops used to fight Sima Jian. The biggest difficulty in increasing the troops is not others. First of all, Sima Lun himself would not agree. He can only expect them, such generals who fought, to share the same hatred of the enemy and to use their lives.

This is a very embarrassing fact. There are important passes around Luoyang, including Hangu Pass to the west, but the eight important passes are not all. These eight are just relatively large passes. They guard eight main roads entering and leaving Luoyang, and there are also four small passes that guard small roads. As for the dangerous roads that overcome obstacles and bypass the passes, they cannot be checked.

For the twelve passes in front, each of them needs to be divided into troops to defend. When there is nothing wrong in the world, Luoyang is connected to all government orders and implements the whole country. Some people have ulterior motives about Luoyang. Luoyang's beating geographical environment has played a role. Every pass cannot be given up. It requires division of troops to be stationed. More than 100,000 Luoyang imperial guards are not even enough.

Just like this time the attack of King Sima Jian of Qin, Sima Lun had to allocate 50,000 people to advance westward. In addition to defending Luoyang, the remaining troops also had to station other passes. The number of people was slightly above the Guanzhong army. Because they had to divide their troops to protect other passes, they could only use half of Sima Jian's troops, and their troops were too short.

While everyone was arguing, the scouts outside came to report that the Guanzhong army retreated again, which eased the solemn atmosphere a little. "King Zhao asked us to repel Sima Jian immediately, otherwise there might be a change. Such a blind defense would not work." Sima Shi, the king of Dongping, spoke anxiously.

As soon as these words came, the entire camp tent was silent, and the atmosphere was really awkward. The troops were at a disadvantage and were so restless? You Sima Shi was a royal prince of the royal family. After being defeated, you patted your butt and left, leaving us all to wipe your butts?

Sima Feng was angry. I led the three armies. Why are these subordinate generals so unreasonable? They should take the initiative to ask for help! They could only speak, "One day today, Sima Jian's attack on Hangu Pass has suffered heavy losses. When night comes, they will inevitably neglect to prevent it. If an elite soldier steals the camp, he will definitely win a complete victory."

"Yeah!" Several generals responded, and did not agree or disagree, which meant that I would not go.

In the end, Sima Shi had to personally speak up and complete the plan of stealing the camp in his imagination. He appointed a captain from the Left Army General Bian Cui to prepare to give Sima Jian a good look, which would be considered a slight punishment.

At night, Sima Jian's camp, with a rapid sound of horse hooves, the entire camp was brightly lit in an instant, shouting and shouting, and the messy battle ended in half an hour.

General Jianwu Du Jian came to report with joy and reported the good news, "Your Highness of the King of Qin, there are nearly a thousand people who come to steal the camp. We have killed more than 600 people. The head lieutenant has been captured." Then, with a wave of his hand, several soldiers came in with a broken body and bleeding from his arms, and one of them kicked him down.

"Cough cough!" Sima Jian coughed a few times, feeling his chest feeling better. He took a sip of water before looking at the captain who was tied up. "Who is the one who led the army? Can he make such a stupid decision to steal the camp? I will punish him slightly to make his memory."

"The commander of the army is Sima Shi, the king of Dongping." The captain kneeling below replied in a voluntary manner.

"He, if he doesn't do his great master's place to welcome the mission of the small country, why do you think of leading troops to fight?" When Sima Jian heard that the commander was Sima Shi, the King of Dongping, could not help laughing out loud, and another violent cough was heard.

When Sima Jian was still in Luoyang, Sima Shi, the King of Dongping, was working as a grand grand ceremony, and he welcomed the missions of vassal states to pay tribute to the vassal states every day. Unexpectedly, he could lead troops to fight?
