...

Although it was dusk, Yanmen Pass, covered with snow, was still brighter.

As a border pass that once resisted the Huns, Yanmen Pass, which was later praised as the number one pass in the world, was built on the mountain, forming a majestic pass. The towering city walls undulate with the mountains, and beacon towers stand on the highest mountain. The ten-foot-high pass is like a gate in the canyon, stalking the passage from the Central Plains to the grassland outside the border.

In the past, King Wuling of Zhao carried out reforms in order to achieve prosperity, Hu Fuqi and Shooting defeated Lin Hu and Loufan, Jianyunzhong, Yanmen, Daijun, and built Xiong Pass to defend against the harassment of nomadic peoples on the grassland. Later, Li Mu was ordered to guard Yanmen to defend against the Xiongnu, which led to the Xiongnu's inability to break through Yanmen Pass and invade the Central Plains. Later, Li Mu led a large army out of Yanmen Pass, defeating more than 100,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu, which caused the Xiongnu to dare to invade the south for decades, giving Zhao an unprecedented opportunity for development and rapidly rising to become one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

A few years ago, Meng Tian also commanded the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to go out of the pass in four directions. Yanmen was one of them. The Huns were determined by one battle. At this point, the grasslands outside the pass were also included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Now they were included in the Dai Kingdom. The land occupied by the Huns in the past became princes of the Qin Dynasty, and there were no more disasters to the Huns in the Central Plains.

Today, Yanmen Pass has lost its military value as before. The 300,000 troops in the northwest have been dismantled and only 60,000 are left. The 60,000 troops are led by the Wucheng Hou Wang Li. Sixty thousand troops are stationed at the Great Wall Passes on the Yanzhao border in the past, and the northern army camp is set up in Loufan County outside Yanmen Pass.

At this time, under the towering city wall of Yanmen Pass and in the white snow, countless angry people gathered near the gate with swords, guns and sticks, roaring and shouting at the city wall, demanding that the gatekeeper punish the murderers. The number of people had reached more than 10,000, and people were gathering in the distance.

Up and down the city walls of the city gate, Lu Rong, and Zhao Bao, the guard of the city gate, were leading more than 2,000 soldiers guarding the city gate to open their bows and crossbows. On the Great Walls on both sides, there were countless civilians running back and carrying bows and arrows and weapons.

Looking at the angry people roaring and shouting under the city wall, Lu Rong and Zhao Bao were both distorted. They never expected that because of a small incident, the people in Zhao would have such a big riot.

As a pass to resist the invasion of foreign races, Yanmen Pass designed defense measures that are not external to internal. The high-walled battlements and the geese-shaped city walls all face the direction of the grassland. In addition to a military camp, the inner city is a warehouse that piles up a large amount of weapons and food. If tens of thousands of angry people rushed into the military camp and took away the weapons and food, the consequences would be unthinkable. In this era when the whole nation was full of soldiers, tens of thousands of people who received the Qin-style armed forces would instantly become an armed army, and then with the mere two thousand soldiers guarding the pass, they would absolutely be unable to resist.

Once these people occupy Yanmen Pass, even if the army guarding the border tomorrow arrives, they will be blocked outside Yanmen Pass.

In that case, Yanmen Pass will become the city pass to defend against domestic troops for the first time.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the city was full of burning torches. The flames stained the area within a radius of more than ten miles. Further away, you could faintly see the flames and noises of Guangwu County town dozens of miles away.

The soldiers guarding the city were frightened, and the people who gathered to surround him were getting closer and closer to the military camp. Even the soldiers on the city tower could see the angry roaring faces under the fire.

"Wang Li reigned his troops as bandits and destroyed General Li Mu's temple. You follow me into the barracks to grab the weapons. I will fight Wang Li Jue to the death tomorrow. I will definitely give this anger to avenge the general!" Among the bandits, a burly middle-aged man raised an iron spear in his hand and roared angrily.

"Roar in, fight Wang Lijue to the death tomorrow and avenge General Li Mu!" Around the man, several men with the same tall body, raised their weapons in their hands and roared.

"Kill and kill, avenge the general!" Tens of thousands of people roared angrily, waving their swords, guns, sticks and sticks in their hands.

"Kill~~"

The big man pointed a spear forward in his hand, and tens of thousands of mobs moved in an instant, whistling and shouting at the military camp.

"Bow, shoot~~" With the sound of a few horns, a general in the military camp roared. The archer hiding behind the walls and shields rose up and pulled out his long bow and shot the sharp arrows.

The dark snow light shone across the sky, and with the shrill screams after shrill, the mobs rushing towards the military camp fell in pieces, but this did not stop the angry people. In the midst of the noise, tens of thousands of people drowned in the night like a black tide.

"Boom~" The wooden fence of the camp was broken into a hole, and an angry mob rushed into the camp. The leader of a group of bandits holding steel spears and weapons was obviously of high martial arts skills. The spear and sword swept across the corner, and soldiers were chopped and flew out. Soon a large area was empty in the camp, and more mobs rushed into the camp.

"Hold on, you must guard until General Wang Li's reinforcements arrive!" On the city gate, Lu Rong, the guard of the gate, roared at the commander Zhao Bao.

"Calend away the bandits with me!" Zhao Bao choked and pulled out the big sword from his waist and led the soldiers on the city wall to rush down the stairs.

Two thousand soldiers guarding the pass and tens of thousands of rioting people started a bloody battle in the narrow Yanmen Pass.

A battle lasted for an hour, thousands of people were killed and injured, and corpses and howlings were everywhere. The snow had been dyed into a red muddy land. The discarded torches ignited the haystacks of the houses, and the fires rising from the sky dyed half of the sky.

Two thousand soldiers guarding the pass were also seriously injured. They left hundreds of bodies behind the city gate and retreated to the city gate. The entire military camp had been completely occupied by the mob. A large number of bows, crossbows, swords and guns were taken out of the warehouse by the people to start arming, and a large number of food and horses were snatched and requisitioned by the mob.

The mob, who obtained the excellent equipment, began to organize archers to attack Chengguan. Because of this architectural pattern that is not external to internal, the city gate is basically at a risk-free level. There is no city gate, no entrance, no horse-resisting fence, and there are several steps that lead directly to the city wall. Under the crazy attack of the mob, the soldiers guarding the pass can only fight to the death to fight back. The time lasts until late at night. The crossbows and arrows on the city wall are exhausted. Under the crazy suppression of the mob, the effective counterattack can no longer be formed. A large number of mobs began to attack the floors along the steps, and blood flows into a river in the entire Yanmen Pass, and a thick layer of corpses accumulate under the layers of passes.

"I can't hold on anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until dawn, so I'll find a way..." Zhao Bao rushed to the city tower with blood all over his body and shouted.

"Master Lu, hurry up and light the beacon tower and ask Marquis Wucheng for help!" Fu Rui, the magistrate of Guangwu County who fled here to take refuge, spoke in horror next to him.

"It's too late, open the city gate and go out of the gate and go directly to the military camp to ask for help from the Marquis of Wucheng, otherwise we will die here today!" Guan Shou Lu Rong said with an extremely ugly expression.

"Qizhang... Is Qizhang a death sentence?" Zhao Bao looked at Lu Rong with his cheek twisted.

"Hmph, this matter is a disaster caused by Wang Li. Now the bandits have already obtained weapons and armor. How to defend less than a thousand people? It is certainly a death sentence for abandoning the gate, but this matter cannot be all blamed on us. The culprit is Wang Li. Go quickly!" Lu Rong turned around and walked towards the city gate under the escort of a group of personal guards.

"Mr. Lu, wait for the official!" The magistrate of Guangwu County also quickly followed.

"Abandon the gate, retreat~" Looking at Lu Rong's back as if he was chased by a dog and following him, Zhao Bao gritted his teeth and issued a retreat order. With a few low and long horn sounds, the soldiers guarding the officials quickly gave up their resistance and swarmed towards the city gate.

Soon the mob rushed up the city wall and occupied the city tower, and the walls on both sides were also occupied. Under the command of the bandit leader, the open city gate was closed again. Although it was cold at this time, countless people came from the direction of Guangwu County, surrounded the city gates tightly, and lit the forage fence to keep warm. They searched for weapons and armor to arm themselves, preparing to fight to the death with Wang Lijue who came here tomorrow.

Since Wang Li Zong's troops destroyed Jingbian Temple in March last year, the people in Zhao who had accumulated for a long time finally burst out.

People are not afraid of death, so why do they fear it by death?

Under the strong pressure of the collusion between officers and soldiers and Wang Li, the people of Zhao who were already rebellious and full of hatred for the Qin Dynasty finally hijacked the heroic pass of the Zhao people in the minds of the people of Zhao.

In a flash, a night passed, as the sky was brighter, a red glow became brighter and brighter. When a red sun rose and the bright sunlight shone on Yanmen Pass, blood was covered with blood on the Chengguan, countless mobs wearing armor and holding swords, guns, bows and arrows in the Qin Dynasty were already standing densely on the Chengguan and the Great Wall battlements on both sides.

“Woo~~Woo~~~”

Beyond the layers of mountains and steep mountains outside Yanmen Pass, the sound of cow horns came faintly.

More than ten miles away, an elite Qin cavalry was galloping towards Yanmen Pass through the snow and snow. The sound of horse hooves rushing like thunder, and the earth was shaking slightly. The snow piled on the trees on the mountains kept falling down in the vibration.

At the forefront of the army, a burly young general with a helmet and armor was hung with a large sword hanging on his waist and a cluster of short beards under his jaw. His eyes were arrogant and arrogant, and his face was filled with a sharp murderous aura.

The young general followed Lu Rong, the guard of Yanmen Pass who abandoned the pass yesterday, Zhao Bao, the commander of Guan Du, and Fu Rui, the magistrate of Guangwu County.

A group of big-shouldered guards gathered around the young man, with a large sword hanging on his waist and leather armor, looking very murderous. If Chen Xu were there, he would definitely recognize a few of them, namely Wang Jian’s former personal bodyguard, King Three Kings Four Kings Five Kings Seven and others.

"General, now the bandits have occupied Yanmen Pass. If they cannot be recaptured, we may be in disaster!" Lu Rong said on the horse with a pale face.

"How dare a group of bandits fight against our army? It is easy to regain Yanmen Pass. Don't worry, Lu Guan Shou. This marquis will definitely cut off the heads of these bandit leaders himself. Li Mu... Humph, how dare the defeated general dare to speak out? Zhao State was just like that in the past, what can we do now!" Wang Li snorted coldly.

"Yes, it's just a group of bandits, how dare you compete with the general!" Lu Rong and Zhao Baofu Rui both flattered each other.

"Major General, be careful. This mob suddenly attacked Guangwu County and Yanmen Pass. It was obviously planned for a long time. Now they have obtained many bows, crossbows, armor, horses, food and grass at Yanmen Pass. They can defend or attack. Don't underestimate the enemy!" Wang Wu walked to Wang Li and whispered.

Wang Li nodded slightly and said contemptuously: "I was going to kill tens of thousands of Donghu people in the battle in Liaohe. Why don't you fear just thousands of bandits? I have my own opinions!"
