The Han Kingdom was originally a powerful country in the world, but was besieged by the Sui Kingdom with great force. There was only one Luoyang city left in the south of the river!&1t;/p>

It’s not that the Han Kingdom doesn’t want to guard it, but that the Sui Kingdom is too powerful, surrounded by a million troops, and is commanded by famous generals with Li Jing. How could the Han Kingdom survive!&1t;/p>

…&1t;/p>

Ma Yuan, the guard of Yanmen Pass, was drinking and having fun at this time. It was not that he was not dedicated to it, but that after the Yuan and Han countries formed an alliance, they had long been no longer on the grassland!&1t;/p>

It has been three years since then, and at first it was still on guard, but now, the Mongols will send a soldier or general or army to the south to aid the Han Dynasty!&1t;/p>

The Mongols also knew the truth that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold. They not only helped the Han Kingdom, but also the Tang Kingdom. However, the Tang Kingdom's territory is now north of the middle Yellow River. Now they are across the river from the Sui Kingdom, but there is no war. Only the Han Kingdom, for the purpose of the Luoyang City, is constantly fighting with the Sui Kingdom!&1t;/p>

In theory, the Han Kingdom, which had only one Luoyang City, should have been occupied by the Sui Kingdom early on, but for some reason, although the Sui Kingdom now has many soldiers and horses, there are not many surrounding Luoyang, and it has not been able to do its best to siege Luoyang City!&1t;/p>

Luoyang City is a famous city in the world and the capital of the Han Empire. The height of the city is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary cities. It is as high as ten feet high. According to the height of later generations, it is thirty meters high!&1t;/p>

Such a city is indeed not comparable to ordinary cities, and the surrounding acropolis is three or five feet tall!&1t;/p>

Such a city is really hard to attack!&1t;/p>

However, if the Sui Dynasty really used all its strength, the catapult and various siege equipment could not be able to attack with all its strength, and of course it would also cut off the water transport channel on the Yellow River!&1t;/p>

Yes, the water transport channel of the Han Dynasty has not been cut off yet!&1t;/p>

This is also the reason why the Yuan Kingdom still persists in aiding the Han Kingdom. It sends some dead and worthless horses to let the Han Kingdom and the Sui Kingdom fight to the death!&1t;/p>

Some waste is nothing to the Mongolians, and they don’t even have to pay money and people to let their tribes take turns. One tribe a month, there are so many ethnic groups on the grassland, but there are more than a hundred people above the medium-sized community. Now there is no turn yet!&1t;/p>

Although Ma Yuan has always been very broad in his control, he was bored to drink, so he brought his guards and trusted generals guarding the city to drink and sing. There were piles of fires on the open space in the city, and a bit of tapered sheep was set up on the fire, turning around and roasting. The boiled sheep oil dripped on the fire, making a sizzling sound, and a burnt fragrance spread all over the world.&1t;/p>

It’s not that no one reminded Ma Yuan that there were abnormal movements on the nearest grassland and that strict defense was needed, but Ma Yuan naturally got the information and knew that although there was a dispute on the grassland, the Mongolians still sat quietly and thought that there was no need to dare to challenge the Mongolians’ reputation.&1t;/p>

What's more, the area north of Yanmen Pass is now belonging to the Khitans. The Khitans advocate peace. Even on weekdays, there are enough Khitans to trade in Yanmen Pass, and even the distant Huns, Turks, and Xianbei people come here to see them!&1t;/p>

The value of Yanmen Pass to the Han Kingdom and its geographical importance. Of course, Ma Yuan, who guards here, will not be unaware of it.&1t;/p>

Yanmen Pass and its Dai County are located in the ancient times, which have been the channel for the invasion of the mainland by ethnic minorities in the northern border in ancient times. Therefore, Yanmen Pass has been a strategic location for border defense since ancient times. Over the years, there have been at least hundreds of wars born here. It can be seen that it is indeed a place that must be fought for by military strategists. Yanmen Pass connects Datong in the north and reaches Taiyuan in the south. Advances can lead to vast grasslands, and retreats can lead to thousands of miles of Guanzhong. The strategic position is very important!&1t;/p>

Ma Yuan naturally knew that the location here was important. If there were still tensions between countries three years ago, he would not be so arrogant. However, after the coalition forces formally formed an alliance three years ago, they would have exchanged ideas. If there was military intelligence and help each other, it was not far from Yanmen Pass that the Khitans were the ancestral land. There was Ningwu Pass, Panguan, Datong, and the south was the heart of the Han Dynasty. There was no need to worry about Ma Yuan.&1t;/p>

If the enemy really fights here, it proves that the Han Kingdom has perished, and then he doesn't have to worry about it!&1t;/p>

He started very early, so he took his personal guards and generals, and drank when he woke up, and drank and fell asleep. I don’t know how many times he has been, but because of the increasing number of merchants, the inventory in his wine warehouse is still increasing.&1t;/p>

The Ma family was originally a big family, but after the Han Dynasty was in conflict, Ma Yuan was appointed as an official, and the children of the other clans were not allowed to take office!&1t;/p>

Even if the juniors of the family have their own literary horses, they can only sit at home!&1t;/p>

Ma Yuan has no other benefit in guarding this lonely city. He has collected a lot of money from the Huiyi caravans in private, and many of them are used to pay for the toll. The warehouses used to store weapons in the early years are now occupied by wine and silk, which is because they need to help the tribe.&1t;/p>

"What a great place!" He sighed sincerely while drinking the wine and hugging the beauty presented by the big businessman.&1t;/p>

A shrill trumpet suddenly rang out, completely covering up Ma Yuan's sigh.&1t;/p>

"What's wrong? Go out and have a look!"&1t;/p>

Ma Yuan carried his belt, rejected the sip of wine that the beauty was about to send over, and tidied up her clothes a little!&1t;/p>

"General, a team of Khitans came to the gate. The sentry on the city was blowing the horn!"&1t;/p>

After a while, a personal soldier came to report!&1t;/p>

"Are the Khitans who went south to die?"&1t;/p>

Ma Yuan naturally knew the consequences of those who went south, but he only went there but never returned. He was not worried, but instead joked!&1t;/p>

After hearing the report, he was about to get up and sat down again, trying to capture the beauty's cherry mouth. He was not worried about the Khitans. What he was worried about now was the people coming from the south and the west!&1t;/p>

Only those who come from the south and west are the most deadly. Now the Great Sui Kingdom is led by the empress to fight south and north. Previously, the well-known Great Qin Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, Sui Kingdom, and Ming Kingdom were all already dry bones in the tombs. Even the Han Kingdom has lost the Central Plains. The famous Huo Qubing and Huo Cavalry have lost the Sui Kingdom. I heard that they are still in prison now!&1t;/p>

The "Wuhou" Zhuge Kongming also lost consecutive battles, as well as Wei Qing and Zhou Yafu. He also heard that Han Xin, the "Soldier Immortal" who had previously ruled the coalition, was also lost to the hands of the Sui army when he withdrew!&1t;/p>

I don't know when the army of Sui State would be at the city. Geng Yan wrote to him a few days ago and expressed his concerns. However, the Ma family is not worthy of being used in the Han State. Ma Yuan can only sigh in secret in this irrelevant border city, wasting time!&1t;/p>

After three years, he has long since been no longer concerned about the safety of Yanmen Pass. It’s not that he doesn’t want to be loyal to his duties, but now the ex-girlfriend of the opposite side has already turned the enemy into friends and doesn’t even come here to rob. Instead, there are caravans every day and provide him with money and supplies, and even when they are exposed to caravans day and night!&1t;/p>

Therefore, the city gate of Yanmen Pass has not been closed for a long time. Ma Yuan may not even know whether it can be closed!&1t;/p>

Yue Yun and Lu Junyi galloped on horseback, rushing into the city in Khitan clothes. Looking at the Han army on the border wall watching them rush into the city indifferently, Yue Yun was a little stunned!&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

He had just heard the sound of the trumpet. He originally thought it was the sound of the Han army's "warning", but now he saw everything in Guanzhong as usual, the people coming and going, looking at them as if they were watching a "monkey show", without any fear. The soldiers of the Han country were also lazy!&1t;/p>

Is this a strong barrier in the world? Is it because I came to the wrong place?&1t;/p>

Looking at the still tall city walls, which are taller than Shuofang City, it is indeed the size of Qiangguan, which is almost the same as Tongguan I have seen!&1t;/p>

"It seems that Xiao Chuo is right. Yanmen Pass is indeed abandoned to this extent!"&1t;/p>

After being stunned, Yue Yun looked at Lu Junyi who was also stunned and said!&1t;/p>

"That's true, then please signal to the general. I will take people to seize the remaining city gates to prevent the news from leaking!"&1t;/p>

Yue Yun nodded and distributed troops to Lu Junyi. He took the remaining troops straight to the barracks in the city!&1t;/p>

Don’t worry about the City Lord’s Mansion. Without the ten thousand troops in the military camp, the City Lord’s Mansion is not worth mentioning!&1t;/p>

…&1t;/p>

The guard of the Pianguan Pass was so drowsy that he was forced to the highest point of the city lord's mansion. He looked at the panic in the city from afar. Under the black battle flag of the Sui army, at least a few thousand cavalry had entered the Pianguan gate. The valley far south was covered by gray-yellow smoke and dust. I don't know how many soldiers were rushing towards the Pianguan.&1t;/p>

Li Guang was stunned, his mind was blank, and he muttered to himself: "This...This...How is this possible?!"&1t;/p>

There are three outer passes in Bingzhou, namely Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass and Panguan; these three passes are important passes to prevent enemies on the grassland, but since the alliance, the location of the three passes has become increasingly weak and has even become a useless place!&1t;/p>

The Han Dynasty also gradually reduced the troops and horses of the three passes, from the initial tens of thousands of troops to less than 10,000 per kilogram. In other words, the troops and horses of the Sui Kingdom were not reduced much!&1t;/p>

However, there has been no war for many years, and Yanmen Pass has only been without war for three years, but there has been no war for decades!&1t;/p>

Why did Li Guang, the general guard of the side gate, wake up? Although he was not drunk all day long like Ma Yuan, Li Guang was not much different!&1t;/p>

Feng Tang is old and Li Guang is difficult to be granted; it is not that Li Guang lacks talent, but that Li Guang is careless in his work and makes great contributions but always makes some small mistakes!&1t;/p>

The security over the years has also made Li Guang let go, and the soldiers and generals in the city are the same!&1t;/p>

The incoming Sui army woke them up with their actions. More than a thousand cavalry rushed to the city first, and walked slowly in besieging the city, and began to shoot the city head with the rain of arrows. The arrow rain was amazingly accurate, suppressing the defenders on the city head so that they could not raise their heads.&1t;/p>

There was another cavalry behind the cavalry, under their cover, and actually removed a piece of pre-built components from the horse's back, and dozens of ladders were built in a blink of an eye.&1t;/p>

These cavalry were originally elite, and the legendary troops of the Great Sui Kingdom were selected now, with legends among the legends. Everyone was skilled in bows and horses, bravely fighting, and the selection of the army's front.&1t;/p>

Bai Qi released them out in order to capture the city in one fell swoop. When the cloud ladders were formed, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty shouted, carrying the cloud ladders and rushed straight to the city.&1t;/p>

This time, the Sui army was led by Yang Zaixing, with deputy generals Meng Wu, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng and Zhang Qing, all of whom were the most elite troops in the Sui army!&1t;/p>

"General!" The soldiers guarding the border gate called the generals at this city gate, hoping that he would make a claim.&1t;/p>

The guard general had long been erased by the peace of the years. At this moment, there was only one thought left, shouting: "Let the beacon! Let the beacon!"&1t;/p>

He kept repeating this sentence. The Sui army came unexpectedly and had no preparation for defending the city. He no longer had hope for defending the city. His only hope was that General Li Guang in the city could react, and generals from various places could react.&1t;/p>

When Yang Zaixing ranked first and climbed to the top of the city wall, the end of the war was already destined.&1t;/p>

Unable to wait for the order of the chief general in the city, the desperate defenders themselves resisted weakly, but in the sword lights and swords of the elite Sui army that kept rushing to the city, they retreated step by step and were unable to compete.&1t;/p>

When the city gate was seized and opened, the elite cavalry of the Sui army guarding outside the city rushed in and began to suppress the remaining resistance in the city&1t;/p>

In just half an hour, it was regarded as the "Shanghai of the Three Jin Dynasties" and the "Key of North Jin" and was easily captured by Yang Zaixing's army.&1t;/p>

In the eyes of grassland people, Pianguan is only part of the defense line of the Central Plains people's Great Wall. Although it is important, it is still in Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass. After the ten passes in the world, there is no name for Pianguan.&1t;/p>

However, in the eyes of the Sui people, Pianguan is more important than Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass in the northeast. If you control Pianguan, you can directly cross the river from the mouth of the river and enter Jin territory. Opposite the Yellow River is Shangjun controlled by the Great Sui Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Different points of focus, the treatment of partial barriers is also completely different. Although the Han monarchs and ministers were also wary of partial barriers, Li Guang also paid great attention to defense, but the directions he arranged was in the north and the west.&1t;/p>

There are forts and beacon towers built at the Yellow River Ferry to warn, and the same is true in the north, but who could have expected the enemy to come from the west? You should know that there are Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass in the west, and Datong in the west. How could the enemy come from where?&1t;/p>

"This is just the beginning." Yang Zaixing thought like this when he led his army into the city.&1t;/p>

At this time, even if Li Guang has the courage to be inappropriate and the talent of Zhuge Kongming, he would not be able to turn the tide!&1t;/p>

He was not ordinary soldiers, and at this time he also sent a carrier pigeon and masters to report to the Shangjun Marshal's Office day and night. Even if the Han Dynasty immediately dispatched a large army to seize the city, it would take at least three or five days. At this time, the Sui Dynasty's army had already crossed the river!&1t;/p>

What's more, now that all the three passes of Bingzhou have been lost, which level can the Han Dynasty recover? Which level should we recover first?&1t;/p>

What's more, the Han army is still being restrained on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the elite troops are guarding the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang City. How much more energy does the country have?&1t;/p>

In the past, it was only because of the natural danger of the river that the Sui army did not attack the territory of Bingzhou, Han Dynasty!&1t;/p>

After all, although the river is wide, how can it stop the attack of the Sui army?&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
