Chapter 551
Hulaoguan is adjacent to Songyue Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. It can be said that the mountains and rivers are fortified.
There is an old saying that the mouth of Chenggao is absolutely unreachable, and the world is blocked, which is used to describe the danger of Hulao Pass.

There are three city gates in Hulaoguan, east, west and north. The north gate leads to Yumendu of the Yellow River, and the east and west are connected to form Gaodao.
Qin Qiong's 1000 troops were stationed in the camp east of Hulao Pass, and at this time, the scouts in front had already reported to Qin Qiong, the general of the Tang Army, Li Junxian, and Chai Shao, who led the Tang army to rob Hulao Pass.

Hearing this, Qin Qiong put the saber face aside, and said, "Damn it. Tang Jun finally came. These two men are generals of Tang Jun. They should have some skills. They should be able to accompany me, Lao Qin, to the three swords."

A general said: "General, the Tang army is going to attack Hulao Pass with at least five or six thousand troops. With our 6000 troops, I'm afraid they won't be able to defend it."

"What are you afraid of? I'm going to meet for a while. When did Lao Qin admit to being cowardly?" Qin Qiong stood up and shouted, "Take my cloak and golden mace, and give me some energy."

The generals didn't dare to be negligent after hearing this, so they could only go to Qin Qiong to get the cloak and the golden mace.

In Zhao Jun's barracks, people and horses were running around, and the soldiers led their horses one after another. When Zheng Jun's tiger prison was closed behind him, there was also the sound of clappers.

The gate of Hulao behind the barracks was closed, and there was a bang, and the gate was closed.

Qin Qiong was dumbfounded when she saw it, and shouted: "What's going on? Damn."

Qin Qiong immediately rode to the foot of the city, and asked the hair of the city: "Why didn't you even give a briefing, and cut off our retreat."

But on the top of the city, the banner of the Zheng army was weak, and many civilians in commoner clothes also went to the city, and there were not many real Zheng army soldiers.

One of the school lieutenants poked his head out and said to the city: "General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, let you guard here to resist the attack of the Tang army. Anyone who retreats without authorization will be beheaded!"

"Bastard! I'm your prince's man? I want to see who dares to provoke me." Qin Qiong was furious, galloping his horse for a few steps, but saw that some arrows were indeed shot down from the top of the wall without hesitation.

"General, these arrows were deliberately shot crookedly. If you go one step further, it will be difficult for us to be accurate. Don't make it difficult for us!"

"Wang Xuanying is a thief." Qin Qiong cursed immediately. When he came to help Hulao, the other party refused to let his side enter the city to station, so he saw clearly what the way this Prince Zheng was.

"I want to use our old Qin as a shield! If King Zhao hadn't repeatedly warned me, I would have turned against Wang Xuanying right now." Qin Qiong was furious.

"What about the general?"

"I am so angry that I will attack the city directly!" Qin Qiong said angrily.

"No. This is not..."

"Just kidding, you think I really don't understand," Qin Qiong said with a sneer, "Wang Xuanying is a villain, it's not that my old Qin didn't guard against this move."

Qin Qiong pointed his hand to the northeast and said, "Let's seize Chenggao City immediately, let the Chenggao Road pass, and let the Tang army attack the city!"

The generals were all overjoyed when they heard this, and one of them said: "This move is clever, it forms an angle with Hulao Pass, and since it has opened up the way of Chenggao, our army can also reinforce Hulao Pass at any time."

After talking about the thousand Zhao troops, they immediately pulled out all the camps.Of Qin Qiong's 1000 men and horses, [-] of them are Zhao Jun's elite riders.Although Zhao Jun's cavalry is not as good as Shi Dexi's cavalry with one man and three horses, it is also equipped with one man and two horses, plus the [-] pack horses in the troop.

A thousand cavalry moved their battalion very quickly, and settled down at Chenggao City, which was less than two miles away from Hulao Pass.

After Zhao Jun entered the city, he quickly set up his formation. Although Chenggao City had been in disrepair for a long time, the outer wall of rammed earth was still there, and it was built against Dagu Mountain.

The Chenggao Dagu Mountain and the Liyang Dagu Mountain are a mountain top and a mountain tail, cut off by the Yellow River.

Zhao Jun guarded against the mountain, and the terrain was dangerous.

Zhao Jun had just finished setting up the formation, and the flag of Li Tang's army had already appeared at the intersection of Chenggao Road.

Chenggao Road is on the left side of the Yellow River and on the right side of Songyue Mountain. The road is not spacious.

The vanguard of the Tang army stepped forward on the white army's cable road, occupying the commanding heights of the road along the way, in order to prevent the two armies of Zhao and Zheng from attacking suddenly.

Li Junxian, the deputy chief of the Tang army's horse army, and Chai Shao, the general, rode their horses.

Li Junxian was originally from the Wagang Army, and later became a Hussar General under Wang Shichong's command. After defecting to Li Tang, he was reused by Li Shimin.Because of his handsome appearance, he likes to read, and when he is not fighting, he stays quietly in the camp and doesn't go anywhere, so the reputation of being a virgin in the army spreads, and the soldiers call him Wu Niangzi.

Li Junxian looks weak, but he is a ruthless person. The cavalry under his command are all the cavalry of the Hussar Battalion of the Zheng Army who rebelled with Li Junxian at the beginning, and they were Wang Shichong's trump card at the beginning.

The main general, Chai Shao, has a cloudy face. After Li Zhiwan rejected his marriage proposal, that handsome young man, Chai Shao, a son of a family, disappeared, as if he had changed. In the past few years, among the generals of the Tang army, Chai Shao belonged. Shao's men fought the hardest and fought hardest.

Now Chai Shaozhi is avenging Li Zhiwan, and now he is leading the army under the city of Hulao, determined to win.

"General Qi, there are 1000 soldiers of the Zhao army stationed in Chenggao City. The general of the Zhao army is Qin Qiong. According to the news from Shen Yue yesterday in Hulao Pass, there are only [-] old and weak soldiers in the city. Crown Prince Wang Xuanying."

"Wang Xuanying?" Li Junxian's handsome face revealed a look of disdain, "Wang Shichong's father gave birth to a dog, and Wang Xuanying's ability is not even comparable to his father's."

Chai Shao suddenly said: "How about Qin Qiong?"

Li Junxian said: "Don't underestimate it. When I was in Wagangzhai, Li Mi used [-] elite cavalry as an internal army, claiming to be able to stop millions of people. Among them, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Pei Xingyan, and Luo Shixin were four. The hussar general of the internal army, sharing the military power. I am not as good as him."

Chai Shao nodded and said: "Brother Li, why should you be modest? When you were in Wagang in the past, it is not the same as now. Now Tang and Zhao are going to fight. I think we will have a showdown with Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin."

Li Junxian smiled and said: "I have never been afraid of anyone, so in your opinion, how to attack Hulao Pass?"

Chai Shaoyan said: "Don't pay attention to Qin Qiong, we will go straight to the Hulao Pass."

"What if Qin Qiong goes down the mountain to stop him?"

Chai Shao said confidently: "Our army has already had an internal response in the city, and by the time Qin Qiong reacts and goes down the mountain to reinforce, it will be too late."

Chai Shao and Li Junxian obviously don't know that Wang Bo's army has rushed to the east of Hulao Pass.

Li Junxian laughed loudly when he heard this, and said: "Sure enough, Director Chai is old and hot."

"It's about to send an order to attack Hulao Pass!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Junxian personally led a thousand elite hussars, let their horses gallop, and rushed straight to the city of Hulao Pass.

On the Hulao Pass, Wang Xuanying saw Qin Qiong's 1000 troops stepping aside and yelling at him. When he saw the Tang army's cavalry menacingly approaching the city, and on the banner was Li Junxian, the Tang army he feared the most, his legs trembled and he kept yelling. Asked: "How is this good? How is it good?"

At this moment, even Commander Shi Daizhou despised Wang Xuanying somewhat.Dai Zhou said: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, the Tang army is cavalry, it is impossible to attack the city, I will wait for it."

"That's it!" Wang Xuanying just breathed a sigh of relief.

But there was a sound.

"Prince, be careful!" Several personal soldiers rushed Wang Xuanying to him.

But seeing a sharp arrow nailed to the door panel of the gate tower behind Wang Xuanying, the feathers of the arrow feathers still trembled.

Wang Xuanying was still in shock, but Dai Zhou gasped, thinking that Li Junxian's cavalry was so far away that they could shoot arrows down the city, no wonder thousands of elite soldiers were in the hands of this man.

Seeing the arrows whizzing towards the top of the city, the soldiers of Zheng Jun supported their helmets and hurriedly dodged, but Min Zhuang, who was fighting for the first time, was caught off guard, and many of them were shot down by the arrows.

The injured people wailed immediately, and the people in the city ran around in a panic like chickens without their heads. As a result, these people became the targets of Tang Jun's sword.

"Those who are good at moving will be cut!" Dai Zhou shouted.

Zheng Jun's soldiers killed a few screaming and running around, and then the discipline in the city was stabilized.

"Prepare for battle!"

Dai Zhou roared angrily, and all the soldiers of Zheng Jun climbed up the female wall and came to the crenel.

The soldiers used all kinds of bows and crossbows to shoot at the Tang army at the bottom of the city, but the Tang army's hussars had already known the opportunity and retreated one after another to dodge Zheng Jun's arrows.

Li Junxian stood on his horse and looked at the top of the city, and said with a sneer: "Only one round of arrow attacks, Zheng Jun is in such a mess, this Hulao City is really vulnerable."

At that moment, Li Junxian pulled his horse back, and Chai Shao led the main force of the Tang army's infantry to Guanxia.

"Did the Tang army attack the city directly without taking a break?" Wang Xuanying wanted to ask Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou shook his head: "This Tang army is very elite, I think they are here to rob the city."

Jing Wang Wang Xingben said: "His Royal Highness, you can rest assured that no matter how elite the Tang army is, it is impossible to capture Hulao Pass without even siege weapons."

"That's right," Wang Xuanying was determined, and suddenly asked, "Why can't you see Shen Sima? The Tang army has already attacked the city."

Wang Xuanying had just finished speaking, but there was a wow from the city, and screams came out again and again.

"Shen Sima betrayed! Ah!"

At this moment, inside the west gate of Hulaoguan City, Shen Yue walked with a sword in his hand. At this moment, he seemed to be reciting poems and painting, rather than killing people.

But on his left and right, Shen Yue's confidants and dead men, soldiers of the Zheng army who were loyal to him in the city, were rushing into the west gate of the city.

There was only a burst of knives piercing into the flesh, and in front of Shen Yue, two guardsmen of the Zheng Army spat blood, and their robes wiped their necks with a knife.

There was still a look of disbelief on their faces.

"You, you, Shen Yue!"

And Shen Yue drew his sword forward and pierced into the heart of the school captain of the city gate, and the [-] or so soldiers of Zheng Jun guarding the gate nearby were cut down in an instant.

"Open the door!"

The rebellious Zheng Jun swiftly moved the gate stone that was blocking the gate aside.

The city gate was opened with a bang, and Shen Yue's eyes lit up at this moment, but outside the city gate, Li Junxian, a general of the Tang Army, was sitting on a horse, drawing his sword and shouting at the left and right.

Li Junxian's hussars of the Tang army raised their whips one after another and galloped towards the city gate.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Shen Yue's face.

"The city is broken!"
