"Bump it away!"

Sun Ce has never liked siege methods such as cloud ladders. In his eyes, he could only use brute force to open the city gate and then fight with the enemy, and face it head-on. This is the real fighting method of a real man.

He personally led a team of soldiers to catch the city car and hit the city gate.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

The dust on the city gate fell one after another, and in a short while, it was already shaking.

"Hold on, never let the enemy attack in."

A general in the pass ran around and shouted and commanded, and finally gathered the morale of the army that had been in chaos a little.

"Sulhu..." The crossbow arrows shot everywhere. Although these crossbow arrows were somewhat shot randomly, they obviously had no special general command, and their strength was not strong, but they finally blocked some of the enemy's rush.

A general came to the gate, waved his sword, and cut down a Jiangdong soldier with one sword.

"Soldiers, Your Majesty has entrusted us with important tasks. This Hangu Pass must not be lost. Otherwise, what kind of face do we have to meet Your Majesty and the elders in Luoyang City? Today is better to be broken than to be completely covered."

Under his encouragement, the soldiers guarding the pass regained their morale, each of them picked up crossbows, long swords, rolling woods, and stones, and joined the battle to guard the pass.

Arrows shot in one after another, and the wooden and rocks kept falling around him. Many Jiangdong soldiers were beaten down from the city gate, and one of them almost hit Sun Ce, which made Sun Ce very upset.

"Oh, damn it, a mere unknown rat dares to be so arrogant. After I capture the level, I will definitely tear you to pieces."

Zhou Yu, not far behind, muttered in his heart when he saw such a battle situation: "Strange, looking at this formation, it seems that the enemy really never expected the appearance of our army. Now he can organize resistance in a hurry. As for this level, this general guarding the pass has some skills. Could it be that I am really too careful?"

However, Sun Jian, who was in the end, was very satisfied: "Not bad, the general guarding the pass is an unknown soldier, but he is loyal and brave. After breaking the pass, don't kill me. This person has good skills and must be well versed in the arrangement of troops in various places in Luoyang. Maybe he is familiar with the general guarding the city in Luoyang. If he can recruit me for use, it will be a great help."

"The lord is thoughtful and thoughtful." said the veteran Cheng Pu: "In the imperial army, we have never been concerned about our origins, but only look at military merits. I heard that Gao Shun's only son also entered Xu Huang and Qianzhao's army as a small soldier, and he achieved his current status step by step with his achievements. Therefore, most generals in the army are promoted by veterans of many battles, so he naturally has some skills."

"Oh, when it comes to it, a certain family really admires and envies the emperor."

Sun Jian sighed, but didn't say anything more, but Cheng Pu, Ding Feng and others all showed inexplicable expressions on their faces. They looked back at the army behind them. Almost half of the troops were recruited by their families. Once they defected to the Sun family, they were already generals in the army. In addition to their personal abilities, there was also part of the reason, that is, the family's momentum, and even their nephews in their families could directly serve as military officers or local officials.

"Crack and Crack..." The Jingshen crossbow placed on the city gate was finally activated after a burst of sour sounds.

A series of extremely powerful crossbow arrows arrived in an instant. Before the soldiers of Jiangdong could react, they were shot and penetrated by the crossbow arrows. The tragic situation was inexplicable.

Sun Ce was furious: "What a thief, I have to peel your skin."

He no longer cared about whether a real man was a man or not. Seeing that the city gate was blocked by many supplies and it was difficult to break open for a while, he gave up the siege car, tied the overlord gun to his waist, and climbed up the ladder with a shield.

Various crossbows and arrows were on the city gate, and huge rocks fell like raindrops, but Sun Ce remained unmoved and used the shield to block all attacks, and finally climbed to the critical moment.

"Hey, the enemy will die."

He shouted angrily, jumped up, jumped to the city gate, pulled out the overlord gun at his waist, stabbed forward, and stabbed a Han soldier to the ground.

The general guarding the pass was not afraid, and rushed over with his long sword.

Sun Ce's eyebrows slightly sternly: "I'm a little brave, good."

Then, his spear shook and stabbed the opponent's chest. The general went to the side of his body, dodged a blow, and held a sword in his right hand. While his body was passing to the right, the sword stabbed hard.

"A little trick for carving insects." Sun Ce mocked disdainfully, and suddenly used force in his hand, and the spear was used as a stick, and the gun rod directly swept the other party.

"Bang..." The general guarding the pass was swept away and directly hit the female wall on the city gate, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Sun Ce stabbed the spear head in front of him and looked down at him: "Look at you as a man. If you are willing to surrender, you will be spared and you will be guaranteed to be valued in my Jiangdong."

"Bah!" The guard spitted over, and Sun Ce flashed slightly, and the spit fell to where he had just stood. Sun Ce looked at the pool of liquid and couldn't help but get angry from his heart.

"Not knowing what's wrong."

After saying that, he was about to stab him, but at this moment, a long sword came over and picked his overlord gun away.

Just when Sun Ce was furious and wanted to question him, he looked up and it was Sun Jian, who hurriedly saluted.

"This man is very rude. Why did the father and commander save him?"

Sun Jian glared at him: "How can one achieve great things just by showing off one's courage?"

After saying that, he bent down, helped the guard up himself, and greeted him with a smile.

"The general was frightened."

The guard general was unmoved and turned his head aside: "I am the minister of the emperor. I will never surrender to you, a rebel of the great man. Don't say too much, just to die quickly."

"You..." Sun Ce was furious and wanted to kill this person quickly, but Sun Jian glared back with a look.

Sun Jian still seemed very close to the general: "I wonder where the general holds a position?"

The general seemed not to expect him to ask such a question, and instinctively said: "A certain Wu Qin, the official appointed him as a general."

"Oh? Could it be General Wu Qin, who defeated the famous Jizhou general Gao Lan in Yanmen Lucheng back then?"

Wu Qin looked at Sun Jian with some surprise: "Yes, I didn't expect the general to know that he was just there."

"Hey, the general is too humble." Sun Jian expressed his joy: "Gaolan was arrogant and famous back then, but was defeated by the hands of only the Lucheng County Captain at that time. It can be seen that the general is brave. Although he was defeated at Hangu Pass today, he was also careless for a moment. Sun admired the general very much and hoped that he could get more points from the general in the future."

Wu Qin's face quickly pulled down again: "Don't be clever and mean. Wu has followed His Majesty for more than ten years, from a commoner to today. If he is surrendered to the second master, how different is it from a beast?"

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Haha, generals don't have to be anxious. How could Sun's family betray the emperor for a long time? How could he rebel from the court when he comes to Luoyang? He has no other ambitions, just to clear the king's side. As long as this is done, he will give peace to the court. Sun immediately withdrew his troops. If the general can help me enter Luoyang, meet the queen mother, ask for an imperial edict, and kill the treacherous ministers, Sun immediately goes to Hulao Pass to help the emperor retreat the enemy, and then let the emperor deal with it, so as to avoid the casualties in the attack on the capital."

The general glanced at him and sneered: "Hmph, can you think I am a three-year-old child? How can you lie to me with such sweet words? Although I don't know that man Xun Shangshu, Qian Xiaowei and others are all talents of the world and loyal. You say they are treacherous ministers, but I think you are treacherous ministers. Don't say too much, Wu will never surrender."

"Damn it, I don't know what's wrong." Sun Ce could no longer bear it, so he stepped forward and kicked the man away.

Sun Jian did not stop him at this moment, but said lightly: "Detain this person, rectify the army, rest in the pass, and bring this person with him tomorrow morning and send troops to Luoyang together."

Sun Ce said angrily: "Father, why not kill this person to strengthen his army's power? What's the use of such a stubborn person?"

"Shut up." Sun Jian shouted: "What do you know? Wu Qin is a veteran general of Bingzhou. He has been following the emperor from Yanmen until now. His prestige in the army is not general. I see that when he was fighting just now, his left arm was not flexible. I think it must be because he was injured before and left hidden dangers and was difficult to go through the war, so he was sent to Hangu Pass. If this person is killed, the thousands of surrendered soldiers in the pass will inevitably riot. When attacking Luoyang City tomorrow, it will also make the enemy unit share the same hatred of the enemy. Wouldn't you be troubled?"

"Yes, Bo Fu, the lord said it well." Zhou Yu came over and advised, "What's more, this person is still useful to keep him."

When Sun Jian heard him say this, he also showed some expectation: "My virtuous nephew Gongjin said, what's the use of this person?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "This man refused to surrender, and his integrity is respectable. However, the defenders in Luoyang City do not know. When the attack was made, the lord tied the man's hands and placed them on the horse's back. The soldiers on both sides were guarded, and then fed them with mute medicine. When they came to the two armies, the lord deliberately announced that General Wu had surrendered, and then gave him a great reward. He could not move his hands and could not speak. In addition, it was difficult for the enemy to see clearly, so he would definitely believe in it."

"It's wonderful." Sun Jian applauded: "In this way, the enemy's morale will be in chaos. And if someone is not sure, he will come to follow the example and open the city to surrender. Then our army will take down Luoyang without any blood."

At this time, Han Dang suddenly grabbed Wu Qin who was being taken down: "What are your eyes and secret words you said just now?"

Sun Jian was a little puzzled and hurried over: "Yi Gong, what's wrong?"

Han Dang said, "When the lord returned to the lord, this man was escorted, I saw that he had been winking at the surrendered soldiers and was still muttering something, but their voices were very light, and I couldn't hear them in a real way, just because they were afraid that they had some conspiracy, so I torture them."

"Oh, there is still this?" Sun Jian's expression became a little unkind.

"General Wu, the so-called knowledgeable people of the times are heroes. Now they are prisoners of the lower classes, why do they still have to resist stubbornly?"

Wu Qin said coldly: "If you don't like it, you can kill me on the spot, why bother to say more?"

Sun Jian sneered: "Sun can trust the general's integrity and determination, so he won't ask more questions. But..."

He turned around and looked at the soldier who had just spoken to Wu Qin: "Give you a chance to tell me what you and the two of you secretly communicated. If you obey, you will be allowed to leave immediately. Otherwise, let you see the means of seeing my son."

When Sun Ce heard this, his eyes lit up, he clenched his fists and walked towards the soldier.

The soldier saw Sun Ce's courage and ruthlessness before siege, and was immediately scared to death and trembling all over.

"You... don't come here, you... I say, I say..."

"Thief, how can a real man be greedy for life and fear death?" Wu Qin was furious and acted to go forward and bite the soldier, but was grabbed by the Jiangdong soldiers beside him.

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Okay, you're very nice. Tell me, Sun will never make things difficult for you."

The soldier's lips trembled slightly: "A few days ago, a batch of food, grass and weapons were transported from Luoyang City, saying that it was...it was said to be sent to the Liangzhou army. However, later the war in Hulaoguan was fierce. Your Majesty issued an order to keep these supplies in Guanzhong for the time being in case of accidents on the front line..."

Sun Jian was very surprised: "Food, grass, and weapons? How many are there?"

"The food and grass are large... about 500,000 stones, and the weapons are sufficient to equip 30,000 soldiers and horses, among which... there are three thousand pairs of armor and scimitars used by the purple gold dragon cavalry..."

"Miaoji, God should help me." Sun Jian smiled: "I guess you are the one who is on duty in the warehouse today, so General Wu winked you, asking you to keep the secret strictly, right?"

"General Ming... Mingjian, that's exactly what..." After saying all this, the soldier looked at Sun Jian with fear, fearing that he would repent.

Sun Jian stroked his beard and said, "Okay, take me to the military warehouse. As long as you see these supplies, it is accurate, Sun will let you go immediately. Of course, if you are willing to stay in our army, Sun will naturally welcome you and immediately upgrade you."

The young master was overjoyed: "The villain... the villain is willing to surrender, so he took the lord to the military warehouse."

"Wuwu...Wuwuwu..." Wu Qin was so angry that his veins burst out, but he was stuffed with a cloth stick in his mouth and couldn't say a word at all.

Sun Jian said to Sun Ce and Cheng Pu: "You two are here to rectify the soldiers and detain surrendered soldiers, and there must be no mistakes."

"Accept the order." Cheng Pu immediately accepted the order. Sun Ce was not interested in these logistics matters, so he naturally didn't bother to visit the military warehouse.

The young man took Sun Jian, Han Dang, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others down from Chengguan, then walked all the way east, bypassed a large area of ​​houses, and finally came to a camp.

It is actually inaccurate to say that it is a camp, but it should be said that it is a courtyard more suitable. Because outside this camp, it is not a fence, but a high wall of more than one meter. The courtyard gate is also two very thick gates, which are definitely not as easy to break in ordinary village gates.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many towering warehouses outside, Sun Jian would have suspected that the little man had led the wrong path.

"Lord, this is the place." The young master came to the gate of the courtyard and said respectfully.

"Yeah, open it."

"Yes." The young master took out a bunch of keys from his arms. There were three locks above the courtyard gate, and there were nine keys in his bunch.

After opening these three locks and pushing open the door, I saw two identical doors appearing in front of me.

"So that's it. I guess there are two doors after this door?" Lu Su asked.
To be continued...
