But before Wang Han could breathe a sigh of relief, another remnant army came from the north.

It was none other than Wei Chang who went to meet Wei Yan.

Sima Shizheng was regretting that he had missed the opportunity to capture Gaoping Pass. Seeing Wei Chang's remnant army at this time, how could he still be allowed to enter Gaoping Pass safely?

So an army was sent out, intending to annihilate the remaining army.

Wei Chang, who was anxious to retreat to Gaoping Pass, was unprepared and almost wiped out his entire army.

Fortunately, the people left behind by Wei Yan were all elite soldiers who were determined to die.

And the person Wei Chang brought there was an old confidant brought out by Wei Yan.

Under the desperate cover of these soldiers, Wei Chang led less than a thousand soldiers in embarrassment, escorted Wei Yan, who was seriously injured and unconscious, retreated to a hilltop, and defended it from a high position.

Wang Han had already seen what was happening in the north on Guancheng, but Sima Division was also on guard that the defenders in Guancheng would come out to respond.

Therefore, the Wei army directly in front of Guancheng was already ready.

"In Guancheng, there are all the officers and soldiers of the Hedong Dudu Mansion. Now General Wei and his son are in danger. If we don't try to rescue them, we may shake the hearts of the officers and soldiers."

Wang Han knew very well that he was not from the Hedong Governor's Mansion, so he could make these remnants of the Hedong Governor's Mansion obey military orders at this time.

One is because the enemy is at hand, and the other is because of Wei Chang's entrustment.

But this does not mean that everyone is convinced of themselves.

"I will lead the army out of the city to meet them and rescue them."

"No!" Wenshi quickly stopped Wang Han, "Now the safety of Guancheng depends on the general. How can the general easily get involved in danger?"

"If things go wrong, who can defend Guancheng? I'm afraid it will be handed over to thieves."

Although he knew that what the article said was true, Wang Han smiled bitterly:

"Captain Wen, if we just sit back and do nothing in the city, I'm afraid this Guancheng will be difficult to defend!"

After being hit by a series of events, the remaining soldiers in Gaoping Pass were able to summon up the courage to repulse the Wei army's attack and defend Gaoping Pass when facing the highly motivated Wei army outside Guancheng.

If we ignore the life and death of Wei Yan and his son outside Guancheng at this time, I am afraid it will be another heavy blow to the soldiers inside Guancheng.

The military morale, which had finally been stabilized, was once again fluctuating.

He really didn't have any confidence that Wang Han would be able to get these soldiers to obey his orders by then.

Maybe he would still obey, but Wang Han didn't dare to gamble.

Because this was a bet between the Engineering Camp and Gaoping Pass, and he couldn't afford to lose.

It’s just... what the text says makes sense.

Wei Yan originally wanted Wei Chang to guard Gaoping Pass, but Wei Chang transferred this task to Wang Han.

Who can Wang Han transfer to?

Changing coaches on the spot is a taboo.

Not to mention that when the morale of the army is low, two generals have been replaced in a row.

If we continue to change things, Wen Shi’s statement of handing over Gaopingguan to the thieves is not an alarmist statement.

So, this is basically a dilemma.

Wenshi gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and said to Wang Han:

"General Wang, please forgive me, the engineering camp is of great importance and must not fall into the hands of thieves."

"In my opinion, it is better to lose Gaoping Pass than let the engineering camp make mistakes."

Wang Han was startled.

He actually forgot about this.

Wang Han took a few steps back and forth, and then finally made up his mind:

"Wen Xiaowei, from Gaopingguan to the west, although there are mountain trails, it leads directly to the east of the river, so it should be safe."

"I will send a thousand people to escort you. You should immediately lead the engineering battalion back to Hedong."

Hearing Wang Han's words, Wen Shi's heart skipped a beat:

"how about you?"

Wang Han shook his head:

"I can't leave. I'm here. If I can defend Guancheng, that would be the best."

"If we can't defend, we can at least delay it for a while. We should try our best to buy Chang'an as much time as possible."

The change in Shangdang was really too unexpected.

In addition, the Central Protector was not in Chang'an, but was leading the army outside.

Wang Han was really not sure when the court would be ready.

So he can only do his best.

And to say the least, it may not necessarily be a bad thing if he personally leads the army out of the city.

It would be a great thing if Wei Yan and others could be rescued.

Even if you can't, you can still express your attitude and establish your prestige.

Wenshi couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Wang Han said and saw his determined expression.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't.

Knowing that this was not the time to be pretentious, Wenshi could only whisper in the end:

"Then be careful."

Although cold-blooded, Wen Shi also knew that Wang Han's decision was probably the best way at the moment.

Wang Han grinned:

"You also have to be careful. Although there shouldn't be any hostility from Gaopingguan to Hedong, they are all mountain roads and difficult to walk."

The two have been working together for such a long time, and their tacit understanding has already emerged. In addition to being comrades-in-arms, they are also friends.

Even though I have been used to seeing life and death over the years, it feels a little uncomfortable to be separated now.

It was not until the second day that Wang Han sent Wenshi away, returned to the top of Guancheng City, and ordered:

"Come here, assemble the army, follow me down the pass, and prepare to meet General Zuo Hussar!"

"Here!"

The sound of bull horns sounded, followed by the beating of war drums.

Wang Han had arranged things within the pass and was about to leave the city when he did not expect a sudden noise from behind.

"What's the fuss about?"

At this critical moment, Wang Han naturally didn't want any surprises to occur.

The soldiers in the rear were making a noise, but he only thought that there was a change in the army, and his heart sank.

"Come here, go and find out quickly!"

Before the person sent to inquire could come back, someone from behind came over happily and reported:

"General, the Central Protector, the Central Protector has sent someone here!"

"Nakadu Protector?!"

When Wang Han heard this, his eyes suddenly widened:

"Did the Central Protector send someone over?"
Chapter completed!
