    The smoke is just a signal. At least three hours have passed since Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao sent the signal. They don't know what happened.

    But Liu Zhe can imagine their hardships.  Because Liu Zhe made an agreement with them that if Tongguan was captured, a signal would be sent, otherwise there would be no need to send it.

    Since the smoke signal has been sent out, it means that Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao have successfully attacked Tongguan.  Conquering Tongguan does not mean the end.  There are at least more than 10,000 defenders in Tongguan, and they will definitely counterattack with all their strength. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao only have 2,000 cavalry, which will be very difficult.

    "Drive!"

    Worried about his men, Liu Zhe subconsciously drove the red rabbit horse under his crotch to speed it up a little faster.

    The Red Rabbit Horse understands human nature and its master¡¯s intentions. It neighed, then spread its hooves and started running happily.  The red rabbit horse is a king of horses, and its speed is much faster than ordinary war horses.

    In order to take care of his men, Liu Zhe usually did not let the red rabbit horse run with all its strength. Today, Liu Zhe subconsciously drove the red rabbit horse away and let the red rabbit horse run freely.

    In an instant, within a few moments, Liu Zhe distanced himself from the person behind him.

    When Dian Wei saw it, he was very anxious. He quickly rode his horse to follow Liu Zhe.  As Liu Zhe's personal bodyguard, Dian Wei's mount is also one of the best in a hundred, but compared with the best of a thousand red rabbit horses, it is much inferior.

    No matter how much Dian Wei urged his mount, he could not catch up with the red rabbit horse, and the distance between the two became wider and wider. Dian Wei could not catch up, and the other guards could not catch up, so they fell further behind.

    "Lord, wait for me!" Dian Wei shouted from behind.

    It's a pity that Liu Zhe in front didn't hear it, and even if he heard it, he wouldn't stop. The red rabbit horse was still running at full speed, and finally disappeared from the sight of Dian Wei and the others.

    "Oh, what are you doing, lord?"

    Dian Wei touched his bald head and wondered why Liu Zhe ran so fast.

    ¡°Chasing, chasing, chasing, hurry up and follow.¡±

    Dian Wei roared at the guards, asking them to speed up. As for the black scale army behind him, he couldn't care about it. Anyway, they were led by the captain.

    Tongguan, this majestic pass looks like it is embedded in the mountains and integrated with the mountains from a distance. To the south and north of Tongguan, there are high mountains and ridges, dense and steep, and the terrain is very strange. It is impossible to pass through Tongguan from both sides.  Impossible, we can only go through the Tongguan gate obediently.

    Because of the special location, there are only two gates, the west gate and the east gate.

    Once these two gates are closed, Tongguan becomes an insurmountable obstacle, unless you have wings and fly over Tongguan.

    Because of the importance of Tongguan, even though Tongguan did not occupy a prominent position in Cao Ren's defensive strategy, he still gave Tongguan 30,000 troops to prevent Tongguan from being lost.

    Logically speaking, even if there are 10,000 people in Tongguan, they can defend against the siege of 100,000 troops. However, today, a fierce battle broke out at the east gate of Tongguan.

    Countless Cao soldiers wearing light blue military uniforms desperately launched an attack on the east gate. One group fell, and another group came up to catch up. They were not afraid of death, and under the command, they continued to attack the east gate.

    And the targets of their attack were clearly Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao. The two stood side by side under the city gate, leading the black scale army to resist Cao Jun's attack.

    Cao Jun¡¯s attack was very fierce. From the successful sneak attack in the morning to now, the two of them have been resisting for several hours.

    After parting ways with Liu Zhe, they led two thousand black scale troops to lurk near Tongguan. In the morning, the two of them led a few people pretending to be woodcutters and successfully attacked. They quickly lit up the smoke and sent out a signal.  Two thousand black scale troops guarded the city gate and firmly occupied the city gate.

    Naturally, Cao Jun who was guarding the city would not be willing to surrender the city gate to others. Under the command of the general who stayed behind, they rushed forward one after another, trying to take back the city gate.

    They fought very hard, and because the city gate was not big, it limited the number of people attacking on both sides. They were only a few years old, but the situation was very tragic. In such terrain, they could not retreat, they could only advance or die in battle.

    The small city gate limited the number of Cao's troops, but it also restricted the mobility of the Black Scale Army.  In order to resist Cao Jun's attack, the Black Scale Army dismounted and used their flesh and blood to resist Cao Jun's attack.

    There is no way to give up one's own advantages to fight with the enemy. Although the equipment of the Black Scale Army is better than that of Cao's army, the damage they caused to Cao's army is much higher than the damage caused by Cao's army to them.

    But in such a battle, the Black Scale Army can be said to have killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses.

    In such a battle, no matter how good the equipment is, damage will occur.

    ?Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had nothing to do about it. At this point, they could not retreat and could only fight on. Even if the Black Scale Army suffered serious losses, they would still grit their teeth and fight on.

    After fighting for several hours, one-third of the two thousand Black Scale Army had been lost, and most of the remaining ones were injured.

    "Everyone, hold on!"

    Zhang Liao roared angrily and said: "The Lord is coming with his troops. As long as we persist until reinforcements arrive, we will definitely win."

    While speaking, the sword in Zhang Liao's hand slashed horizontally, and four or five Cao soldiers who rushed forward were cut in half. They screamed and fell down, but they did not die immediately, but fell to the ground wailing and screaming.

    The scene was extremely tragic.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
