One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 98
"What, the guards at Hulao Gate have all withdrawn!?"

Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce in shock.No matter what, he couldn't believe the news Sun Ce told him.If Sun Ce wasn't his son, and in front of thousands of soldiers, he really wanted to slap Sun Ce.In broad daylight...well, even in the dark, you can't talk nonsense!
"Father, it's true, Hulao Pass is already an empty pass." Sun Ce said hurriedly, "The soldiers on the wall are all dummies wearing armor!"

Sun Jian stared blankly at Sun Ce without any response.

Sun Ce continued: "My master and the others are outside the gate of Hulao. The gate is blocked, so hurry up and take someone there to have a look!"

"Is this true?" Sun Jian came back to his senses.Sun Ce absolutely did not dare to joke about this kind of military affairs.

Sun Ce nodded repeatedly: "No lies!"

Sun Jian turned his head and ordered: "Han Dang, go back to the camp quickly, and transfer a few rush cars and ladder cars to Hulao Pass. A certain person will go and have a look first."

"No!" Han Dang replied, and ordered a group of soldiers to return to the camp.

"Boys, follow me to Hulao Pass!"

As soon as Sun Jian gave an order, he led the army and rushed towards Hulao Pass.

A distance of three or four miles is within a blink of an eye for the cavalry.

At this time, Qin Yi was sitting on the ground with his back against the gate of Hulao Pass.Seeing Sun Jian coming, he quickly got up and went to meet him.

Riding on the horse, Sun Jian raised his head high, staring at the wall of Hulao Pass in a daze.Facts were in front of us, Hulao Pass was indeed an empty pass, but Sun Jian was in a fog, and felt that this situation was unreal.

"General!"

Qin Yi's greeting brought Sun Jian back to his senses, he lowered his head to look at Qin Yi, and asked, "Tian Yu, how did you find out about the strange situation in Hulao Pass?"

Qin Yi naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he said in a perfunctory way: "I just feel that something is wrong at Hulao Pass tonight, so I want to take a closer look. The closer I get to Hulao Pass, the more I feel that the guards at Hulao Pass It is not normal, so it can be deduced that the Hulao pass is empty."

Sun Jian stared at Qin Yi for a while, then exclaimed, "Tianyu is so keen on the situation on the battlefield, I'm ashamed of myself!"

Qin Yi scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.I'm not so keen on the battlefield, it's not because of the heaven-defying equipment.

Sun Jian got off his horse, called a group of soldiers, and tried to knock on the door.But the gate was so tightly blocked that it couldn't be opened by manpower.

In desperation, Sun Jian had no choice but to give up this futile move and wait for Han Dang to bring the siege equipment.

Sun Jian, Qin Yi, and Sun Ce chatted casually. After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, they suddenly heard the chaotic sound of horseshoes coming from the east.

The three looked for their reputation.Sun Jian and Sun Ce still couldn't see who came, but Qin Yi did. It wasn't the siege soldiers led by Han Dang, but Cao Cao and Cao Hong. Behind them were about forty or fifty soldiers on horseback.

"Is the Wentai here? I heard that the guards at Hulao Gate have withdrawn?" Cao Cao's voice came first before he approached.

Upon hearing Cao Cao's voice, Sun Jian hurriedly led Qin Yi and Sun Ce to greet him.

Cao Cao and others stopped close.Cao Cao and Cao Hong got off their horses and went to meet Sun Jian and the other three.

"Wentai, after dealing with the internal strife between Qiao Mao and Liu Dai, I want to lead troops out of the camp to help you monitor Hulao Pass. It happened that Han Dang, the captain under your command, came back to the camp. I only learned about the Hulao Pass garrison after asking. Now that they had withdrawn, someone rushed over immediately. What's going on?" Cao Cao asked Sun Jian in a hurry as soon as he met Sun Jian.

Sun Jian did not rush to explain, but asked Cao Cao: "What happened to Qiao Mao and Liu Dai?"

"Oh, Qiao Mao didn't know what happened, but he suddenly led troops to attack Liu Dai's barracks. Liu Dai rushed to fight, but couldn't resist Qiao Mao, so he was stabbed to death by Qiao Mao." Cao Cao sighed.

"What, Qiao Mao actually killed Liu Dai!" Sun Jian was shocked when he heard this, "Then Qiao Mao..."

"That guy probably knew that he had caused a catastrophe, so he hurriedly led his troops away, leaving only two or three thousand old and weak soldiers to pack up their luggage." Cao Cao said, "I discussed with Benchu ​​and shut down the bridge. Mao’s luggage, and ordered people to send a message to Xingyang to make sure they stop Qiao Mao.”

"That's it!" Sun Jian nodded lightly, "Qiao Mao and Liu Dai don't get along at all, but Qiao Mao is too careless to attack his colleagues at this time."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about this, what is the situation at Hulao Pass?"

Sun Jian said: "After leading troops out of the camp, they stopped three or four miles away from Hulao Pass to monitor. It was Tian Yu who noticed that there was something different about Hulao Pass, and he and his son Sun Ce approached Hulao Pass to observe, and only then did they find that the defenders had withdrawn. "

"The defenders actually withdrew?" Cao Cao was a little confused. After thinking for a while, he added, "Dong Zhuo must have left Luoyang and recalled the defenders."

"Xu and Tianyu also inferred the same way." Sun Jian said, "Niu Fu is also a general. Mao's attack on Liu Dai, I'm afraid I won't find out until tomorrow morning."

While talking, Han Dang arrived with two assault vehicles, two ladder trucks, and hundreds of soldiers.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao also ended their conversation, and immediately ordered the soldiers to ram the gate of Hulao with a ram.

However, the gate was so blocked that the rushing car couldn't open it.

So, Sun Jian ordered someone to set up a ladder cart, and he, Cao Cao, Cao Hong, Qin Yi, and Sun Ce climbed up the ladder together.

Behind, the soldiers also boarded the ladder one by one, and climbed to the wall of Hulaoguan.

After Sun Jian and others climbed to the top of the city wall, they discovered that the soldiers on the city wall were all scarecrows in armor.

Following the steps on the inner side of the city wall to the ground, everyone went straight to the city gate.

It wasn't until we got to the inside of the city gate that we could see clearly that all the openings in the city gate were blocked with earth and rocks.No wonder the car can't be hit by a car.

Sun Jian immediately ordered the soldiers to move the earth and rocks.It took another half an hour to clear the city gate.

After opening the city gate, Sun Jian's soldiers entered one by one.Sun Jian ordered them to occupy various key points in the pass.Cao Cao turned back to the camp.

That night, the rest of the princes gradually learned that the guards at Hulao Pass had withdrawn.They hurried out of the camp with their own soldiers, and rushed to Hulao Pass.

But after all, they were one step too late, all the key points in Hulaoguan had been occupied by Sun Jian's army, and all the supplies discarded by Dong Zhuo's army belonged to Sun Jian's army.

In fact, Sun Jianjun didn't get much oil and water. Niu Fu retreated calmly and took away all the things that should be taken away. Sun Jianjun only picked up some rags.

However, although Hulao Pass was overcome without a fight, Sun Jianjun was the first to enter the pass after all, which is also considered a credit.In the future, if it is discussed among the market, it will definitely increase Sun Jian's reputation.
