The shocking change from the valley entrance really scared Lu Bu. Under his command, all the troops in the rear stopped.

The stones on the mountain wall were still rumbled down, but Lu Bu felt a little strange.

If Zhao Yun and others really set up an ambush here, they should wait for all or most of the Xiliang cavalry to enter the valley before cutting off the retreat. But Lu Bu himself did not enter the valley. What was the purpose of the ambushing people so anxious to throw stones down?

Soon Lu Bu got the answer.

It turned out that there were only dozens of people lying at the entrance of the valley. The stones falling from the mountain wall only lasted for a while before they stopped, and even the road at the entrance of the valley was not completely blocked.

Only then did Lu Bu realize that Zhao Yun and others did not think of ambushing him at all, but just wanted the Western Liang army to stop chasing!

At this moment, even if Lu Bu wants to chase after him, he will not be able to catch up with the Jizhou cavalry in front of him.

"Hateful! He actually tried to use such a sub-scheming to escape! I want to see how many days you can escape!"

"Why didn't Gongzheng bring people here yet?" Lu Bu asked left and right.

"Go back to General Gao, General Gao is already on the way to come." The other person replied.

Lu Bu nodded and began to let someone clean up the falling rocks piled up at the entrance of the valley. Although these stones did not completely block the entrance, they squeezed the entrance very narrowly, which greatly affected the passage of the army.

When Lu Bu cleared the valley entrance almost the same, Gao Shun in the rear had already rushed to the valley entrance with more than a thousand remaining cavalrymen in the camp.

After the two cavalry converged, Lu Bu had more than 3,000 people in his hands, while Zhao Yun and Yan Liang and others had only more than 1,000 people. If he could catch up with the interception, then Lu Bu was fully confident that he would leave Zhao Yun and others in the Bingzhou boundary.

Moreover, Bingzhou is now surrounded by the pass cities of the Xiliang Army, and Zhao Yun and the others fled north again. If they want to return to Youzhou or Jizhou, they must pass through the Yanmen Pass. At present, there are more than a thousand defenders guarding Yanmen Pass, which is impossible to be captured by Zhao Yun and his party.

So even if Lu Bu was put on a trick by Zhao Yun, he had the intention to wait for Gao Shun to join forces and continue to pursue him.

It is almost impossible for an army of more than a thousand people to lose, especially when it snows in winter. As long as you follow the traces of a large number of war horses galloping, you will definitely find where Zhao Yun and others are.

On the other side.

When Zhao Yun and his party saw that they had temporarily escaped from Lu Bu, they felt a little relieved, but the current situation did not allow them to rest too much. After asking the soldiers to eat some dry food, Zhao Yun and Yan Liang set off again.

Even if the two knew that there would be someone guarding Yanmen Pass in the north, compared to going south, there would obviously be more opportunities to escape from the sky. Even if the way to Yanmen Pass was cut off, they could continue to go north and detour from Youzhou from the grassland, which was also a way.

It’s just that before the detour, it’s still necessary to go to Yanmen Pass to take a look. What if there is a chance?

......

Just as Zhao Yun and others rushed north, the 30,000 army led by Pan Feng had already passed through Jizhou and Youzhou and was approaching Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou.

It is indeed not a wise choice to dispatch a large army in winter. Many people have already suffered from cold and some of them were even frostbite and had to stop recuperating.

Now there are more than 2,000 soldiers who can still follow Pan Feng to Yanmen County.

Of course, the number of more than 27,000 is still an unshakable behemoth for the more than 1,000 Xiliang troops guarding Yanmen Pass.

"General, the convenience is Yanmen Pass in front of you. As long as you pass Yanmen Pass, our army will be able to drive straight into Taiyuan south!" A whistle cavalry rushed up and said.

This time, Pan Feng did not bring Qu Yi and others out. Han Fu trusted him to hand over the army to his hands. When Gaoyi City Defense was in danger, there must be a general in charge. So Pan Feng asked Qu Yi Gao Lan, Deng Long and others to stay.

With them here, even if Cao Cao really invaded, he should be able to last a while.

Looking at the hazy pass among the clouds and mist in the distance, Pan Feng immediately ordered the army to attack the city!

Before coming to Yanmen Pass, the scout had already investigated the number of defenders at the pass. What is certain is that the number is not large and cannot stop the Jizhou army at all.

This time it was related to Xu Rong's life and death, and it was a critical moment, so Pan Feng did not consider the issue of casualties anymore. When the army approached Yanmen Pass, people directly assembled the siege equipment prepared on the road, and then launched a fierce attack.

The defenders of Yanmen Pass had already turned pale when they saw the 30,000 Jizhou troops. Now they saw the Jizhou troops coming up and launch an attack without saying a word. They had no intention of fighting dozens of times the enemy.

Of course, the timidity of soldiers does not mean that the generals are timid. The guards of Yanmen Pass are still very professional. When the Jizhou Army attacked, he tried his best to stop the resistance. Even if the Jizhou Army was pressing over a huge rock, he wanted to use his mantis arm to block it.

After half a day...

Pan Feng kicked the Yanmen Pass guard who had already died in battle down the city wall with a cold face. If it weren't for this guy, the Jizhou army would have suffered more than 100 casualties! As a result, after the shooting was completed in half a day, nearly 1,000 soldiers were killed and injured. This was the case when Pan Feng shot the remaining soldiers who were left surrendered directly after he shot the defender to death.

If these thousand people fought stubbornly until the end, it would probably be more casualties to the Jizhou army.

However, in half a day, he finally won the Yanmen Pass. With this heroic pass, Pan Feng was invincible when he entered the Bingzhou territory. Even if the war in Taiyuan was not good, he could retreat to Yanmen and wait for reinforcements.

Just when Pan Feng took down Yanmen Pass and was about to leave 10,000 people, Zhao Yun and others who were chased by Lu Bu also successfully entered Yanmen County.

The movements of Zhao Yun and others were soon discovered by the whistle cavalry sent out by Pan Feng, and Zhao Yun and others were exhausted at this moment.

Unlike the Western Liang Army, Yan Liang and Zhao Yun and others only had the dry food they brought with them. The dry food couldn't last long. Last night, the army had run out of food and fled to Yanmen County today. Yan Liang originally planned to take advantage of the rest to grab a village to replenish the supplies.

At this time, even Zhao Yun did not stop Yan Liang pretentiously. After all, more than a thousand brothers under their command were responsible. Only by living was the most important thing to do now.

Fortunately, Yan Liang and Zhao Yun and others entered the territory of Yanmen County and met the whistle cavalry sent by Pan Feng.

The whistleman was also shocked when he saw the troops of Yan Liang, Zhao Yun and others, but the flag waving in the wind at the front gave him enough courage to come forward to ask.

"Are you General Yan and General Zhao?" The whistle cavalry was relieved after seeing the armor of Jizhou soldiers behind Yan Liang and Zhao Yun.

Yan Liang and Zhao Yun were also surprised to encounter the Jizhou military whistle cavalry.

When Yan Liang heard this, he couldn't wait to ask, "It's us, which general's unit are you?"

The whistle cavalry bowed and replied: "The villain is a soldier under General Pan. The general has taken down Yanmen Pass and sent the villain to investigate the information. He did not expect to meet the two generals."

When Yan Liang and Zhao Yun heard that it was Pan Feng who sent him over, they were overjoyed.

"Take me to see General Pan quickly, and we have important things to report!"

"promise!"

......

Under the leadership of the whistle cavalry, Yan Liang and Zhao Yun, who were already at the end of their power, finally found the organization. When they saw Pan Feng, they felt like they had survived the disaster.

"General!" Yan Liang and Zhao Yun stepped forward to salute.

Pan Feng smiled and helped the two of them up: "I feel so relieved when you can return safely."

"General, the last general lost Taiyuan, I am ashamed of the general's cultivation!"

Xu Rong, who had not spoken much along the way, knelt on his knees and apologized to Pan Feng. Obviously, he was already filled with guilt.

When Pan Feng handed over Taiyuan to him to guard, Xu Rong made a promise. As a result, when Lu Bu led the army to attack, Taiyuan City was declared broken after only ten days of persistence. In Xu Rong's view, this was to let Pan Feng down. After all, Pan Feng had already led his army to support him.

More importantly, Taiyuan City was lost, and all the soldiers under his command were killed in battle. Only he, the chief general, survived, and even implicated Yan Liang and Zhao Yun and almost died in the hands of Lu Bu.

It was precisely with this idea that Xu Rong almost didn't say much along the way, and he felt a little depressed. This depression turned into deep guilt after seeing Pan Feng.

If it weren't for the desire to avenge the soldiers who died in Taiyuan City, Xu Rong would have drawn his sword and committed suicide.

Pan Feng still knew Xu Rong's temperament a little. Seeing that he showed guilt on his face, he was worried that Xu Rong would do something that could not be readily thought about, so he comforted him with kind words.

"Your army does not need to blame yourself. Not to mention that there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City, even if there are 30,000, I may not be able to resist it. Even if I had to abandon the city and flee, I would have to fight to the last moment, so you can live up to the lord's expectations." Pan Feng smiled and helped Xu Rong up...

"But... Taiyuan was still lost."

"Haha, Gongyao, what is a mere Taiyuan? You were asked to station Taiyuan in the first place to facilitate the attack on Bingzhou in the future. Now I have taken down Yanmen Pass. In the future, will you go and leave when you want to attack Bingzhou?" Pan Feng said and patted Xu Rong on the shoulder.

Having said that, Xu Rong finally recovered a little.

"The general attacks Bingzhou in the future, and I will be the vanguard!" Xu Rong said in a deep voice. He wants to avenge the dead soldiers!

Pan Feng nodded: "It should be."

Just as everyone was greeting, a notice came from outside.

"General, Lu Bu's pursuers have come!"

Yan Liang, Zhao Yun and others all looked excited, and even Xu Rong's eyes were full of fierceness.

Seeing this, Pan Feng laughed: "Prepare a horse for me, I want to see what courage did the former defeated general dare to chase him here!"

......

In front of Yanmen Pass, Lu Bu looked at the mist in the distance with a calm face, which prevented the whistle cavalry he sent just now and reported that Yanmen Pass had changed hands, and the only general who had defeated him was Pan Feng!

The importance of Yanmen Pass as a gateway to Youzhou and Bingzhou is self-evident. If the loss of Yanmen Pass is like someone opening its own door to the defenders in Bingzhou. The Jizhou Army will come and go whenever they want to come, and all the initiatives will be in the hands of the enemy.

After the two horses intersected, Pan Feng's sarcasm came again.

"It seems that you, Lu Bu, have not made much progress over the years. You shouldn't have been lying on a woman's belly to practice martial arts all day long, right?"
Chapter completed!
