Although the defenders of the pass desperately resisted, the Northwest Army poured into the pass like a tide. In terms of strength, the defenders were already at a disadvantage. ○

The Northwest Army that attacked Xiguguan this time was elite soldiers from the Northwest. Much weaker than the Northwest Army.

Since the founding of the Great Qin and the stability of the Northwest, the Great Qin Empire has seldom had large-scale wars, not to mention that there are few swordsmen at this extremely strong pass.

When the two armies are fighting, morale is extremely important, but when fighting with swords and guns, combat skills and experience are also the key to victory.

The morale of the defenders is not higher than that of the Northwest Army. The defenders have always believed that the pass is solid and indestructible. If they had super self-confidence before, their morale was high, but when the bronze gate was opened, the Northwest Army rushed into the pass Within a short time, the morale of the defending army Ruhong suffered a fatal blow in an instant.

When the Northwest Army charged, the losses were not small, and the defenders had the upper hand. The Northwest soldiers held back their anger. prevail.

Inside the pass, thousands of officers and soldiers from both sides gathered, and every corner was filled with figures. The Northwest Army had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, whether it was in the overall or partial fight, it had an absolute upper hand.

Many defenders knew that the general situation was over. Since the Northwest Army rushed in, there was no possibility of repelling the Northwest Army. On the contrary, if they continued to fight, it would be nothing more than a death for the country.

Although some soldiers did resist tenaciously and had the heart to die for the country, for most soldiers, there was really no need to continue to resist when the general situation was over.

Many soldiers had already dropped their weapons and surrendered to the Northwest Army, while some stubborn ones retreated to the critical moment and made their last desperate resistance.

A night of fierce fighting resulted in countless casualties. There were only more than 200 people around Da Xizhang, who had already been forced to retreat to the edge of the wall.

Da Xizhang's drunkenness had already disappeared, and his whole body was covered with scars after the fierce battle.

Originally, there were five thousand soldiers inside and outside Xigu Pass, and they were very familiar with the terrain of the pass. If they were carefully deployed, they might not be able to fight to the death with the Northwest Army.

However, the reinforcements who rushed from the garrison were blocked in the pass by the bronze gate, unable to enter the reinforcements at all, and could only watch helplessly in the pass.

"General...!" He Changqing was already in blood-stained battle armor, holding a big knife, staring at the Northwest Army like tigers and wolves, and said in a deep voice: "We have no way out, we can only fight to the death with them... ...!" As soon as he raised his arm, he was about to lead the remaining hundreds of soldiers to charge up, but Da Xizhang had already raised his hand to grab his arm, He Changqing was startled, and looked at Da Xizhang, only to see that Da Xizhang's expression was Very calm, couldn't help but whisper: "General...!"

Da Xizhang looked at the dark Northwest Army, and said in a deep voice, "Where is Xuanyuan Shengcai? Let him come to see me...!"

However, the Northwest Army was all staring at Da Xizhang, just like a pack of wolves staring at their prey, they might rush forward at any time.

"Xuanyuan Shengcai...!" Seeing that no one was paying attention, Da Xizhang shouted sharply: "You shameless villain, don't get out of here...Even if I die, I still want to see you!" What kind of face do you despicable bastard have now!"

A cold voice came from among the crowd: "Do you want to see me?" In the voice, the crowd parted a gap, and a person slowly walked over, with disheveled hair, broken armor, and blood all over his body, as if he had come from a sea of ​​blood. Just as Zhong climbed up, his face was already covered by blood, and he could only see the outline clearly.

Seeing Xuanyuan Shengcai's appearance like this, Da Xizhang was startled for a moment, then his eyes showed resentment, he raised his hand, and pointed forward with the blade, "Xuanyuan Shengcai, you shameless duplicitous villain, I didn't expect you to even kill your ancestors. I don't even recognize it...what you have done today, how can you be worthy of the Duke, how can you be worthy of the Holy One?"

"Duke?" Xuanyuan Sheng smiled contemptuously: "I'm afraid he won't have the face to see me...!"

Da Xizhang was taken aback.

"Da Xizhang, you are a good man." Xuanyuan Sheng said slowly: "If the world is peaceful, maybe you and I can really have a good time drinking and talking, but it's a pity that in troubled times, you and I are masters...!"

Da Xizhang had many wounds on his legs, he limped and took two steps forward, and said sharply: "You are such a villain, it's because I'm blind that I'm sitting with you...!"

At this moment, a burst of noise was heard, and Xuanyuan Shengcai shouted from behind: "Go, go...!" Many people were a little strange and looked over, but saw several soldiers Pushing and shoving a middle-aged man in a toga, the man was in his early forties, his hands were tied behind his back, his hat had long since disappeared, his hair was in a mess, his clothes were disheveled, and his face was full of horror.

Stumbled and shoved by the soldiers, he saw spears and swords in all directions, the armor was cold, the middle-aged man looked horrified, but there was a dazed look in his eyes.

Suddenly seeing Xuanyuan Shengcai who was like a blood man, the man was taken aback, then saw the outline clearly, and lost his voice: "Xuanyuan... General Xuanyuan...!"

"Master Minister, did you sleep well?" Xuanyuan Sheng said with a sneer, "Please don't blame me for disturbing your rest...!"

"General Xuanyuan, this...what the hell is going on here?" Huang Tu's face was blank, maybe he was in a trance due to panic, and he didn't see clearly what happened for a while.

When Da Xizhang saw Huang Tu, his eyes immediately showed anger, he laughed back from his anger, and said sharply: "Master Huang, this is a good thing you did, His Highness asked you to go to the northwest to make him raise troops, but you brought the imperial court Great traitor...!"

"Traitor?"

"Master Huang, can't you see that Xuanyuan Shengcai is playing tricks on you as a fool? He is a traitor sent by Chu Huan." Da Xizhang sneered and said, "Your Master Huang kept saying that this person was forced to flee here , but this person deliberately used you to enter the customs together...!"

Huang Tu's whole body trembled violently. After all, he is not a fool. He had already understood a little bit at this moment, and said in a broken voice: "Xuanyuan...General Xuanyuan, you...you betrayed the court?"

Xuanyuan Sheng said with a sneer: "Such a bullshit imperial court, what is the need for it to exist?"

"You...!" Huang Tu finally understood at this time that he had become the clown that Xuanyuan Sheng was playing with in the applause. His heart was burning with anger, but he thought of something and asked: "So, in order to enter the pass, you paid for Lu Cunxiao's life?"

"Lu Cunxiao?" Xuanyuan Shengcai said indifferently: "If there is no accident, Lu Cunxiao is currently gathering troops with General Pei...!"

"Impossible!" Huang Tu immediately said: "I saw you kill him...your dagger pierced his heart...!"

Xuanyuan Sheng sneered: "If you don't play a show, how can you believe me? If you didn't lead us into the pass, how could Da Xizhang believe that we came in defeat? That knife did stab , but it did not stab his heart. If you had the courage to go over and check it, you would find that the stabbed part was still a little away from the heart... In order to implement this plan, Lu Cunxiao was willing to take risks. When I stabbed him with that knife, I was worried about hurting him...!"

Huang Tu understood immediately, but Da Xizhang looked at Huang Tu like a clown.

"In this way, you... your plan to assassinate Pei Ji...!" Huang Tu's voice was trembling uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Shengcai said indifferently: "Since you came to me that night, I knew that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was coming... Originally, I wanted to delay you for a few days and make a detailed plan, but at that time Governor Chu had already Going back to the northwest, just after you left, Chu Du has also arrived at Jiazhou City, and we made a detailed plan that night...!"

Huang Tu only felt that his hands and feet were cold.

"Assassinating General Pei is only part of the plan." Xuanyuan Shengcai said indifferently: "You are going to the northwest, and you are escorted by Shenyiwei. There is Shenyiwei. The people of Shenyiwei have always been cautious, and their senses are extremely keen. If you don’t catch all the gangsters around you, the plan will probably be defeated by them...!"

Huang Tu understood: "So you deliberately said you wanted to assassinate Pei Ji and set up a trap, but that trap was not set up for Pei Ji, but...but for Shenyiwei?"

Xuanyuan Sheng sneered and said: "You understand now. Don't even think about it. Lu Cunxiao suddenly disappeared. If the general really wanted to kill General Pei, with General Pei's shrewdness, how could he fall into the trap so easily? Originally We also want to make the plan more complicated, so that you won't have the slightest doubt, but the time is tight and we don't have much time, let alone...!" Looking at Huang Tu contemptuously: "We have to deal with you! It doesn't need to be too complicated...!"

Huang Tu was ashamed and annoyed, and regretted, "It's just that I didn't listen to Zhang Baihu's words at that time, he was suspicious of you at that time...!" His face was full of annoyance.

"That's why Zhang Haizhu and others must catch them all at once." Xuanyuan Sheng laughed and said, "Without Shenyiwei, you are deaf and blind, let us fiddle with you...!"

"Xuanyuan Shengcai...!" Huang Tu said angrily, "I trust you only because you are a child of the Xuanyuan family. I didn't expect that you...you even belong to your own family. Regardless, you are not only a traitor to the country, but... you are also a traitor from the Xuanyuan family, you are disloyal and unfilial, what face do you have to stand in the world?"

"Unfilial?" Xuanyuan Shengcai's red eyes suddenly burst into a cold light, and his voice was as cold as a knife: "It is for loyalty and filial piety that I want to take down Xiguguan...!"
