After successfully attacking the water in the area, the Jie people received the reward from Shanyu Huchuquan, allowing them to quit the battle in the next battle to attack Gaonu. This was actually Huchuquan's deeper idea. He was planning to let the Jie people break into the Han army's crossbow formation in front of him when he was fighting the main force of the Han army, and then he temporarily spared the Jie people.

When the Jie people went south, they divided into two soldiers. One or two thousand people were led by the chief Shi Le. They followed Huchuquan to attack Luochuan Road. Another thousand people were led by Shi Tan and walked south on the straight road. After a moment, Shi Tan hurried forward and bowed and said, "Join the King."

In order to hate the Shitan in front of him, Liu Qubei withdrew back to the grassland after the defeat of Shitan, which made his army very passive. However, Liu Qubei restrained his disgust and pointed at the city with a horse whip and said, "I suspect that the Han army has withdrawn. I will give you twenty siege ladders, and you will lead the headquarters to attack the city."

Shi Tan was so scared that he took a breath and asked him to fight the first battle. He said for a long time: "This is the last pass to Guanzhong. Bei Zhi believes that it will never be Kong Pass, and there will definitely ambush waiting for us."

Liu Qubei said gloomyly: "I'll ask you, will you go or not?"

Shi Tan didn't dare to say he wouldn't go, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "Wei Zhi can take the lead, but Wei Zhi has a small requirement. If we break through the Guancheng and enter Guanzhong, please reward us with Wei Yang Palace."

Shi Tan knew that Weiyang Palace had been rebuilt, and there was a lot of materials and wealth in it. It is said that the Han Dynasty transported a large amount of gold from Chengdu, which was stored in the underground palace of Weiyang Palace. There were also several beautiful palace maids who moved from Chengdu in life. Although these were just legends, Shi Tan still wanted to seize the Weiyang Palace first.

Liu Qubei showed a sarcastic smile on his face, and nodded happily and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Shitan ran back and shouted to his thousands of subordinates: "Prepare to fight"

The rumbling drum sounded suddenly, and the soldiers of Qianjie carried the cross siege ladders and ran up the slope like a tide. In today's words, the angle of the slope was about forty, with a length of more than one step. Just throwing down a piece of rolling wood can knock down a piece. The stone tan was behind to supervise the battle. He seemed very nervous, fearing that countless defenders would suddenly appear above him and smashing the rolling wood stones, and his army would suffer heavy casualties.

But fortunately, there was no scene he was afraid of. There was still no soldier on the top of the city. At this time, his forwards had already rushed to the wall, which made Shi Tan have a lucky idea. Is this really an empty city?

He couldn't help but lead the famous guards to run up the slope. He was the commander and wanted to inspire the soldiers to attack the city.

A tall siege ladder was erected, and there were two huge iron hooks in front of the ladder to hook the city wall. At first, the Jie soldiers were climbing up hard. From a distance, the Jie soldiers were like a string of ants hanging on the city wall. This made Liu Qubei wonder in his heart. Did the Han army even give up the last city gate?

If this is true, then there is only one explanation, that is, the Shanyu army first attacked Guanzhong from Luochuan Road, and the Han army retreated across the board, so that there could be no defenders at Pinghu Pass.

But reality soon told Liu Qubei ruthlessly that this was impossible. Countless defenders suddenly appeared on the top of the city. They smashed large pots of pots onto the siege ladder. At first, the soldiers who siege were hit by the pots. They screamed and fell down the siege ladder. The pots were then broken and the siege oil spilled out.

Then, a more terrifying scene appeared. The Han army lit the siege ladder with rockets, and the siege ladder began to ignite a raging fire. Many soldiers were splashed with stunning oil. Suddenly, countless soldiers became firemen. They screamed in horror and jumped directly from the ladder, with countless casualties, but there were also raging fires below.

The fire was like a contagious bacteria, burning down the slope quickly. The Han army had buried countless tincture oil on the slope in advance, and they kept throwing pots outwards. The fire became more rapid and swallowed the entire slope in just a moment.

The soldiers of Qianjie were trapped in the sea of ​​fire, and countless people screamed and ran and rolled on the slope, trying to roll down the slope, but their steps cut off all hope for survival.

Shitan stood on a big rock, waved his hand desperately and shouted: "Run out quickly."

At this time, Yan Yan opened his bow and pulled the bowstring open, aiming at the Shitan in the fire. When the string was loosened, a wolf-tooth arrow shot out like lightning, penetrated the thick smoke and fire, and shot the back of the neck of Shitan. The tip of the arrow penetrated from the throat. The Shitan shook and fell into the raging fire.

The flames soared into the sky and the thick smoke filled the Jie soldiers' screams gradually disappeared. All the thousands of Jie soldiers, including the main general Shitan, were engulfed by a long-planned fire.

Tens of thousands of Hun soldiers in the distance watched all this, and many soldiers were so scared that they knelt on the ground, buried their heads deep in the soil, and did not dare to look at them anymore. At this moment, Liu Qubei's heart seemed to have fallen into the abyss, and his heart was filled with despair.

.........

Shortly after Liu Qubei led the Hun army southward, a Han army composed of more than 10,000 people quietly appeared in the north of Wuting Pass. The Han army was led by general Wei Yan himself and rushed from Luochuan Road. According to the order of Han King Liu Jing, Wei Yan must seize Wuting Pass as quickly as possible, cut off Liu Qubei's return, and trapped Liu Qubei's ten thousand men and horses on the eighty-mile straight road.

Without Li Ling reminding him, Liu Qubei immediately made a fatal mistake. He led ten thousand troops south to capture Pinghu Pass, but only two thousand people left to guard Wuting Pass. At this time, ten thousand Han troops were hiding in a huge valley, which was the valley where the Huns captured Zhang Xin and others. There was a small valley in the valley that could detour south of Wuting Pass.

As night gradually came, Wei Yan was waiting for this moment. He immediately ordered people to find Ren Ping. Ren Ping was the deputy general of the Eagle Strike Army. He made many outstanding achievements and had been promoted to the lieutenant. This time Wei Yan was ordered to seize Wuting Pass. He specially borrowed Ren Ping from Liu Jing to travel. Ren Ping led the soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army to follow Wei Yan's action.

This is also the characteristic of the Eagle Strike Army. They will always form an army and will not rely on a certain army, nor will they become part of a certain army. Although they only have five people, they are recognized by the Han army as two elite troops alongside the heavy armored infantry.

Ren Ping ran over and bowed, "We are preparing to set off. Is there anything else for General Wei?"

Wei Yan also respected the deputy commander of the Eagle Strike Army, nicknamed the Fire Ape. He smiled and said, "I just received scout information. The Hun soldiers on the city wall were still the same as during the day, without any reduction. According to the original plan, you may be discovered, so I want to change the way our two armies fight. I will attack Guancheng ahead, attract Hun soldiers, and create opportunities for you."

Ren Ping did not object, but just nodded silently. Wei Yan smiled and patted his arm, "I wish Ren's lieutenant success."

Ren Ping led the Eagle Strike Army, led by a guide soldier, and was walking south along the winding small. This small line was very hidden and there were many forks. Without the guide, it would be difficult to succeed in the end.

A soldier crossed a ridge and Wuting Pass suddenly appeared in front of him. This was the west of the inner city of Wuting Pass. Guancheng was just two steps away. Ren Ping waved his hand, and the soldiers followed him and lay on the hills. The terrain of the hills was far higher than the city walls.

They were condescending, and under the moonlight, the situation on the city wall could be seen clearly.

I saw teams of patrolling soldiers everywhere on the city wall, staring vigilantly outside the city wall. It seemed that the Huns were also very worried that the Han army would attack. Ren Ping stared for a long time and found that the most soldiers were on the city heads on both sides of the north and south, but there were not many patrolling soldiers on the east and west.

Ren Ping thought for a moment and asked the guide, "Can you go to Xicheng from here?"

The guide shook his head and pointed to the towering mountains on both sides. "There are cliffs in front of us, and there are steep mountains on both sides. We can only go around the ridge and go to the south. We have never heard of anyone approaching the west wall."

It is precisely because it is impossible that the defense of the Hun soldiers is weak, but they put the main defensive forces on the north and south sides. For other troops, it may be difficult to get off the cliffs, but it will not be an obstacle to the Eagle Strike Army.

Ren Ping ran forward for dozens of steps and then rushed to the front of the cliff. He leaned his head down and looked down. There were cliffs more than twenty feet high below, but they were not smooth, covered with various vines and shrubs. Ren Ping nodded and turned around and said, "Don't go to the south, just go up to the city from the west."

.........

One by one, they threw down from the cliff. The soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army jumped down from the top of the cliff, with their movements being vigorous and flexible. This kind of rock climbing was like walking on flat ground for them, but the important thing was not to fall from the cliff, but not to be discovered by the soldiers on the city. In this regard, the Eagle Strike Army soldiers also had extremely rich experience. They used the vines and shrubs on the cliff as cover, and fell rapidly in groups of ten people. In less than half an hour, the fully armed Eagle Strike Army soldiers climbed off the cliff.

The soldiers on the top of the city did not notice them. In fact, Ren Ping's concern was unnecessary. The soldiers on the top of the city were shining by the moonlight and against the clean and tidy environment, so they could see clearly. Even so, they could only vaguely see a general outline.

The cliff was in the dark, and it was pitch black. Soldiers in black clothes fell rapidly, and were covered by vines and bushes. Unless the rocks collapsed and made a huge noise, the soldiers on the city wall would not notice any abnormalities on the cliff.

The soldiers of the Mingying Strike Army quickly gathered behind a sudden rock and checked the crossbows and steel short spears they carried with them. Ren Ping carefully observed the surrounding terrain. They were about 150 steps away from the city wall. The ground was covered with white rocks and there was no slightly flat road. But it didn't matter. The key was that they could not be discovered by the soldiers on the city. This place was not like a cliff in the dark, and it was under the illumination of the moonlight in front of them. As long as the soldiers on the city were looking out, they could immediately see the black dots on the white stone.

Ren Ping looked up at the moon again. The moon was bright tonight, but it was clear. A dark cloud was floating rapidly from the northwest direction. "Wait a minute" Ren Ping whispered.

The dark clouds were getting closer and closer to the moon, and the dark clouds were blown very quickly by the north wind. The time given to them was short. All the soldiers were ready to run and sprint. The night suddenly darkened, and the dark clouds finally covered the moon.
