Is it worth it? Guan Yu didn't know, so he didn't answer, and just held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword with his hand to support his body. Even if he died, he never fell down. He looked at Zhang Fei and went to the underworld with his brothers.

In the past, Taoyuan's three charity was separated, and life and death have been separated.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but sigh and ordered: "This Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all heroes and heroes. Now that they are dead in the battlefield, they will be buried with the soldiers of the Taiping Army!"

"No!" The soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield immediately took the order and left.

Xiao Lan turned around and took Dian Wei, Xu Chu led his troops away. After Sishui Pass was under, the gate of Sizhou was already open. Just waiting for the Hulao Pass, the entire Sizhou would be protected without any danger, and he would easily be included in his control. As for the remaining princes in Luoyang, to be honest, he really didn't take it seriously.

Five thousand elite cavalry traveled day and night, and at dusk on the third day, he rushed to the bottom of Hulao Pass. The afterglow fell, and under the reflection, he saw Hulao's majestic pass, standing proudly, towering, towering and unmoving as a mountain!

Hulao Pass is connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains and rivers are intertwined and natural dangers are naturally a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times. The pass is built on the mountain and leaning against the mountain. It is natural. The mountains are steep and the terrain is rugged. It is difficult to move forward. It is very difficult to break through the city gate.

At that time, the eighteen vassal coalition forces of the princes, more than 400,000 troops were blocked under this majestic pass for several months, not to mention that at this moment, Xiao Lan had only 5,000 cavalry under his command, and the cavalry was not good at attacking the city. It was a dream to force the Hulao Pass by force.

If you can't attack strongly, you can only take advantage of wisdom!

Seeing Xiao Lan watching the Huzhu from afar, Xu Chu and Dianwei looked at each other at a distance, but they didn't know how to comfort each other. They were secretly anxious, but they were still working to let them go to battle to kill the enemy, but they were really embarrassed by the way to find a way to make a plan.

After a while, Xiao Lan asked in a deep voice to the left and right: "Which princes are guarding Hulao Pass now?"

One of the soldiers on both sides left and echoed, "Report to the Grand Marshal, the one responsible for guarding Hulao Pass is the prefect of Hanoi, Wang Kuang, with a total army of 30,000."

"Wang Kuang, I am from the Yuan family!" After hearing the names of the two princes, Xiao Lan couldn't help but sigh. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that the power of the gentry and wealthy families was indeed mixed. It was so big that it was unimaginable that at least two-thirds of the huge Eastern Han Dynasty had been undermined by these gentry and wealthy families.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lan pondered: "Give me instructions and the whole army will camp and rest on the spot. After midnight tonight, we will raid Hulao Pass."

"No!" He was very respectful to Xiao Lan, the Grand Marshal of Pingtian and Taiping Army soldiers from top to bottom, and the military order was given. After a while, the entire army followed Xiao Lan's instructions and set up camp on site to rest.

Xiao Lan looked at the busy soldiers with his eyes becoming more and more determined. It was impossible for cavalry to attack the city. But after hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to take action himself and use the dragon seal to break the defense of Hulao Pass. Although there is a suspicion of cheating, it is the fastest and most effective method.

The cavalry marched rapidly, but it was difficult to supply. If it was a grassland cavalry, one person had several horses and could carry a lot of food and grass. However, this was the hinterland of the Central Plains. Even if the Taiping Army had occupied half of the land, there were not enough horses, so it was so luxurious that the cavalry under its command had more than two war horses.

One person and one rider, the weight of the war horse is limited, and it can’t bring much food and grass at all. Therefore, Xiao Lan knew very well that the cavalry battle was about speed!

Once the battle situation is stalemate, the defenders at Hulao Pass will be prepared, unless Xiao Lan shamelessly brings out the super-era killing weapon of the Brilliant Mecha, he will have to wait for the subsequent army to arrive before he can further advance.

Dong Zhuo went west, Luoyang was in chaos, and several princes such as Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng suffered heavy damage and left. The only remaining Yuan Shao, Zhang Yang, Kong Rong and others also had their own thoughts and could not work together. It was a great opportunity to deal with them. How could Xiao Lan allow this opportunity to slip away from his own hands?

After nightfall, Xiao Lan ordered all the soldiers to wrap the horse's hooves with cloth strips, and then, under the cover of the night, they broke through to the city of Hulao Pass.

Although Wang Kuang had 30,000 troops guarding the Hulao Pass, Wang Kuang was probably unexpected that the Taiping Army would defeat Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and other six vassal coalition forces so quickly. In addition, when the vassal coalition forces marched into Luoyang before, he could not follow the large army to enter Luoyang to gain benefits, so it is inevitable that the matter of defending the city would be much slack. Otherwise, Xiao Lan would not have been close to Hulao Pass, and he would not have had any intention of being strictly guarded.

Although there are still a few patrol figures on the city tower, they are just doing things carelessly. At this time, it is the time when people are most sleepy, and it is already very good to not fall asleep.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Lan slowly raised his hand. He saw a golden dragon seal appearing on his palm out of thin air. With the urging of thought, it suddenly crashed into the city gate like a hill.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the tall city gate of Hulao Pass was immediately broken, and the huge city wall seemed to be shaken and kept shaking.

The sudden change made the defenders on the city stunned for a moment. However, before they could react, a loud shout came from a distance!

"The city gate is open, kill me!"

The sound of the trumpet rose through the clouds and cracked the stones, and it immediately broke through the entire night sky. The defenders on the top of the city came back to their senses and quickly looked down at the city in panic.

With the glimmer of light on the torch on the top of the city, you can see that in the dark, the ground was covered with dark shadows, and quickly moved towards the city wall, like a tidal flood that broke into the dike, trying to swallow Hulao Pass.

"Oh no, there are thieves attacking the city, come quickly." For a moment, the city walls suddenly became messy, some had just woken up, some were busy dressing and armor, some were busy looking for a hiding place, and some were busy preparing to fight, like ants on a hot pan, making a mess.

"The city gate of Hulao Pass has been broken by the commander. Next is the time for us to go into battle. We can't lose the face of the Taiping Army's elite cavalry. Go!" Xu Chu rode on the war horse and shouted loudly. Five thousand elite cavalry rushed towards the broken city gate, with great momentum, and it was a big move to win the pass in one fell swoop.

After all, even Xiao Lan, the Grand Marshal of the Taiping Army, took the battle personally, so they naturally could not fall behind. They urged the horse to act radically and vowed to win the first result.

"Not good, no good, the bandits have attacked the city..." The defenders on the city wall, facing the overwhelming Taiping cavalry, for a moment, were not sure what to do, except shouting desperately, and many people even lost the courage to resist before they fought. After all, before this battle was fought, their own city gate had been broken, which was a big blow to the morale of the defending city.

The noise and loud shouting made the Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang, who was fighting hard on the woman's belly in the city, wake up completely. He couldn't help but shout: "It's midnight, why is it so noisy outside? What happened?"

"Master Prefect, something is wrong. Someone on the city tower urgently reported it. A thief attacked the city at night!" Hearing Wang Kuang's question, a messenger immediately came to respond.

"What?!" Hearing this, Wang Kuang was shocked, and quickly pushed the woman beside him, hurriedly put on her clothes and armor, pushed the door out, and asked in a deep voice: "Where are the thieves coming from? How many people are there? How dare you attack the tiger prison at night?"

"It's the Taiping Army, it's so dark, I don't know how many people there are." The messenger looked pale and panicked. He couldn't stop talking. He probably could bite his tongue if he accidentally used: "They didn't know what methods they had broken the city gate. Now, they might have rushed into Guanzhong..."

"What?!" If Wang Kuang had kept a little calm before, this sound was pure panic. As a prince, how could he not know what the city gate was broken meant to the guardian... (To be continued...)
