After Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong returned to Tongguan, Yang Rui took the item of Riku Yellow Sac for a long time before carefully putting it away with the Tiger Talisman of the Convergence.

It turned out that the Scale Armored Shuis troops commanded by Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong did not pursue Li Jue and his defeated army further after killing Guo Si. After all, chasing in the dark is not easy, and Scale Armored Shuis is not suitable for land battles.

Guo Jia and others spent more than an hour to clean up the battlefield, so they gathered their soldiers back to the ships within the Yellow River and returned to Tongguan.

After this sneak attack, Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and his scattered and armored water soldiers attacked and killed more than 30,000 enemy troops, earning Yang Rui a large number of plot points, and also obtaining a large number of other valuable items.

The most important thing is that after this sneak attack, Guo Si was killed in battle, and Li Jue was injured and fled. The threat from Li Jue on the west side of Tongguan, Guo Si's troops had been reduced to a minimum.

One night passed, and the first ray of dawn in the morning surrendered to Tongguan. Looking from the east side of the checkpoint, the situation in Tongguan seemed to have undergone significant changes in the new day.

First of all, there was no sign of a defender soldier on the top of the city, and even no flag of the defender was seen.

Secondly, the gate of Tongguan is also open. From the outside, there is no trace of human activities in the level. The entire Tongguan looks like an abandoned level.

This situation was soon discovered by Zhang Ji and immediately reached Zhang Ji's ears.

"Hmm? Did Lieyang take advantage of the night to leave?"

Inside the big tent, Zhang Ji frowned and muttered, but his eyes turned to Jia Xu on his left side.

"I don't know what Wenhe thinks? Is it because he can't resist Li Jue and Guo Si's attack, Lieyang chose to retreat overnight?"

Zhang Ji pondered for a long time, but couldn't tell the reason. Finally, he asked Jia Xu helplessly.

Zhang Ji naturally knew his ability to Jia Xu, but he felt that this person was too considering protecting himself and almost never expressed any opinions until the critical moment, so that all matters in the army were decided jointly by Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu.

Fortunately, with Zhang Xiu's help, Zhang Ji didn't think anything was wrong, but Zhang Ji was not sure about the current situation, while Zhang Xiu went out to collect food and supplies early in the morning and would not come back for a while.

"I want to send troops to occupy Tongguan, relying on the strong pass to stop Li Jue and Guo Si's steps, and at the same time, the officials will temporarily settle in Anyi City, use Hongnong as the foundation to consolidate the Han Dynasty's territory, and then move eastward to Luoyang after regaining their anger. What do Wenhe thinks?"

Zhang Ji asked several questions in a row, and Jia Xu looked thoughtful and did not answer a word. Zhang Ji was a little impatient and asked Jia Xu again.

"General Zhang is very clear that if this plan is successful, the general will be the first person under the emperor."

Jia Xu did not look shy and directly said what Zhang Ji was thinking in his heart, which made Zhang Ji a little confused and happy. He naturally had similar plans, but this statement from Jia Xu was even more convincing.

Because Jia Xu's words reached Zhang Ji's heart, Zhang Ji did not stop and immediately gathered nearly 100,000 troops to go to Tongguan, hoping to gain the defense on the west side of Hongnong.

"Get! Get! Get!"

“…”

The gate on the east side of Tongguan was wide open, and Zhang Ji led his people to the vicinity of the checkpoint. Seeing this, he was as consistent as the horse said. He was overjoyed. He had suffered a great loss from Yang Rui at this checkpoint, so he naturally knew the importance of this checkpoint.

After observing for a while, he saw that there was no sign of military soldiers in the level. Zhang Ji immediately waved a cavalry and rushed into the level until the entire 500-person cavalry team entered the level and climbed to the wall of Tongguan. Everything inside the level was completely abnormal.

Zhang Ji immediately felt relieved, so he waved his army to move towards several city gates on the east side of Tongguan, preparing to open the gates everywhere and enter the pass.

"Bang!Bang!Bang!"

"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh..."

“…”

At this moment, lit pots were shot down from the top of the gate, and followed by a dense rain of arrows. Without any defense, large areas of arrows fell to the ground, or those close to the city walls directly ignited into firemen!

The clay pot and arrow rain came so suddenly that Zhang Ji himself was hit by two arrows on his arm, and the 500 cavalrymen who had entered the level before did not find any abnormalities in the level.

This was actually Yang Rui's attempt to lure the enemy, and Yang Rui had no confidence in success from the beginning.

It turned out that after Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others commanded the Scale Armored Shuis successfully attacked the night, the threats on the west side of Tongguan were basically in contact, and Yang Rui was about to take action against Zhang Ji who was unwilling to leave.

Before this, Yang Rui set up the illusion of seducing the enemy to see if Zhang Ji would fall into a trap to attack. After all, being able to fight against the enemy through a powerful pass like Tongguan would have a great advantage in terms of geographical advantages. Of course, if it can be used, it should be used.

Unexpectedly, just a very simple arrangement, Zhang Ji's army came to attack the key points. Yang Rui's soldiers were just hiding within the checkpoints with a large number of ramps in Tongguan, and there were very few troops deployed on the east side of the city wall, most of which were hidden at the west side of the city wall.

There are passages between the city walls on both sides that can be connected to each other. The forces can be adjusted together during the war. Even the soldiers hidden at the city head on the east side were hidden by Guo Jia using two four-syllable mazes, but the widest city gate and corridor in the middle were idle.

Things will eventually have such a good effect. Even Zhang Ji's cavalry entered the pass and still did not notice the abnormality of the Four Symbol Maze. In fact, it is mostly due to the characteristics of the Four Symbol Maze itself.

The four-simulation maze is not only a confusing fog. According to Guo Jia's explanation, this is just one of the four-simulations. It can also hide static objects without fog. This is why Yang Rui's troops can hide well.

"Bang!Bang!Bang!"

"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh..."

"Puff! Puff! Puff..."

“…”

There was an explosion near the Tongguan Pass, and the fire and arrow rain never stopped. Zhang Ji's army was stunned for a moment, and it was neither advancing nor retreating. Until Zhang Ji's order to retreat slowly spread in the noise, countless casualties were already there.
