Chapter 919: The Ancient Road Dangerous Mud Pill

This cavalry team totaled 3,000 people, which was the elite that Bruce Lee brought from Jiading.

These 3,000 people were originally attacking Huashan, but Huashan was outwitted by the Heavenly Army, captured Jiutian Zhenren alive, and rescued his closed disciples, and they basically did not exert their strength.

It happened that Mai Ke knew that after Zhao Yijing's rebellion, he wanted to escape from Tongguan and enter Hangu, so he sent them to chase the deserters.

Although they did not ride horses when they came from Jiading, they were originally skilled cavalry, so Mai Ke allocated 3,000 high-quality war horses for them.

This will allow them to join the battlefield as cavalry units and pursue the enemy.

Bruce Lee is just turning eighteen this year, which coincides with the prime of life, the prancing horse galloping, and the heroic force is abnormal.

The weapons he uses are also very special, holding a nunchucks in each hand, left and right, long or short, sometimes open and close, sometimes small and changeable, regardless of whether the enemy is far or near, he can be defeated one by one.

Three thousand cavalry soon entered Hanya.

Although Bruce Lee grew up in Southeast Asia and was not familiar with the situation here, when he accepted the task, Mai Ketong guò Lingxi poured him into the water, giving him a certain understanding of this dangerous road that soldiers must fight.

Hangu Pass is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses built in history, because it is closed in the valley, the deep danger is like Han, so it is called Hangu Pass.

This Hangu Pass refers to the pass at the east end, and the corresponding pass at the west end is the copper pass occupied by Wang Shaojie just now.

Tongguan and Hangu Pass are 80 kilometers apart, and the whole is a canyon, and this canyon is called Hangu.

It used to be an ancient battlefield where war horses neighed, and it was known as "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are more than ten thousand mokes".

There are also poets who call it "Tiankai Hangu Zhuangguanzhong, the dust of eternity to the north sky", "Twin peaks towering beside the Taihe River, a battlefield in Hangu since ancient times".

Hanya Kansai according to the plateau. It is bordered by the Jiejian in the east, the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, which is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses built in China.

Founded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is the throat of Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west. It is known as "Tiankai Hangu is in the strong pass, and the ten thousand valleys are shocked to the north sky", "beside the towering river of the twin peaks, a battlefield in the Hangu Valley since ancient times", it has been a place for soldiers to fight for since ancient times.

In the third year of King Zhou Shenliang, King Huai of Chu raised the army of the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin, and Qin relied on the natural danger of Hangu, so that the army of the Six Kingdoms "ambushed millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting".

In the sixth year of Qin Shi Huang, the armies of Chu, Zhao, and Wei invaded Qin. "To Hangu, they are all defeated".

In the Chu-Han War at the end of Qin, Liu Bang once guarded the pass to block Xiang Yu's attack.

In the Tang "Anshi Rebellion", officers and soldiers fought the famous Battle of Taolin with the rebels in front of the pass.

In the more than 2,000 years since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hangu Pass has experienced the Seven Heroes competing for hegemony, the Chu and Han wars, and countless wars.

Hangu Pass is the thoroughfare of Chang'an in the west and Luoyang in the east in ancient times, the meeting place of the Central Plains culture and the Qin and Jin cultures.

Hangu Pass was built during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It is named because it is in the valley, and the danger is like a letter. East from the Kunshan Mountain. West to Tongjin, commonly known as Hangu. It is known as natural insurance.

Hangu Pass guards the throat of Kuohan, connects Hengling in the west, borders the Jiejian in the east, follows the Qinling Mountains in the south, and borders the Yellow River in the north, and the terrain is dangerous. The road is narrow, known as "the car is not square, the horse is not the bridle".

Hanguguan is not only a military important place, but also a key point of cultural and economic exchanges between the hinterland of the Central Plains and the northwest region in ancient times.

When Lao Tzu wrote the 5,000-word Tao Te Ching, he was also in this place

Around this important city, there are historical stories and legends such as "Purple Qi Comes from the East", "Lao Tzu Passes the Pass", "Chicken Sings and Dog Thieves", "Gongsun White Horse", "Tang Xuanzong Reform Yuan" and so on. Tang Taizong, Tang Xuanzong, Sima Qian, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Sima Guang and other historical celebrities wrote poems in Linguan, and there are many famous poems that have been circulated in the world.

All this information flashed through Bruce Lee's mind, but he did not deliberately pay attention to the monuments and ruins that appeared from time to time, but beware of the ambush of the fleeing enemy.

It's been about a dozen miles from the valley mouth here, and I still haven't caught up with the enemy, and the road is going well, but now the road is getting harder and harder.

Not only is the road rugged and lined with strange rocks, but the road has become so narrow that only one ride can pass through Guò.

In such a place, unless one is a fool, there is no reason not to set up an ambush to stop the pursuers.

This narrow passage, tens of meters high slope on both sides, the road is winding, rugged and narrow, the empty valley is deep, on both sides of the road, the cliff is steep, the peaks and rocks stand in a forest, the terrain is treacherous, the landform is clear, it is really a pedestrian in the middle, such as in the letter.

Seeing such a dangerous situation, Rao is Bruce Lee's heroic courage, and his scalp is numb!

And he knew that this was the only passage, and the total length was thirty miles!

As soon as you enter, you will basically die if you don't win!

Rushing to the middle, even if you want to turn back, it is impossible, and making a move to turn back in such a narrow place is tantamount to killing yourself.

Moreover, since the middle is narrow, it is impossible to make large-scale adjustments and deployments, that is to say, to be the vanguard, from beginning to end, thirty miles, all in the lead!

Bruce Lee immediately made adjustments, with one ironclad platoon taking the lead, the second echelon still one ironclad platoon, and then the third ironclad platoon.

This is the only ironclad class among the 3,000 people, and all of them are on the front line!

Then, there was Bruce Lee and his guards.

Behind them were the rest of the soldiers.

"Get in!"

Bruce Lee gave the order, and then those ironclad cavalry jumped on their horses with their spears and entered the narrow Hangu Path.

When Bruce Lee entered, the line in front had already infiltrated more than a hundred meters.

At this time, I heard a burst of arrow strings, and countless iron arrows flew towards me!

This is the first contact battle between the pursuers and the deserters!

Bruce Lee also had a stray arrow flying here, and he waved the nunchucks in his hand to knock them away, feeling a lot of power!

Bruce Lee looked around, and it turned out that the front was full of rebels.

Some of them fell to the ground and cast large crossbow arrows, some crouched on the ground with medium bolts in their hands and fired them freely, and some stood with small bolts in their hands!

Bruce Lee suddenly felt in his heart, no wonder the power is so great!

Fortunately, there are ironclad soldiers in front, otherwise this round would have been full of casualties!

Even the ironclad soldiers still caused casualties, and the main reason was that there were no ironclad horses!

Fortunately, the ambush soldiers concentrated on shooting people, if they shot the horses first. The losses will be even greater!

Bruce Lee shouted: "Hurry forward, don't let them launch the second round!"

Fortunately, the ambush soldiers did not use repeaters, otherwise they would have caused more damage if they diverted the target and shot the horse!

The forward cavalry heard the order and immediately charged, two breaths away. They rushed into the ranks of the enemy's crossbowmen and trampled the rebels who were lying on the ground!

People crouching and standing are more convenient to move, and some of them even fire a second arrow!

These arrows were all shot at horses, causing more than a dozen horses to fall!

But the rest continued to charge, and soon broke the formation of these crossbowmen.

Once in close combat, these crossbowmen are left with nothing but abuse.

The Iron Cavalry of the Heavenly Army roared past, leaving only the severed arms and stumps.

Seeing that there were still people escaping in front of him, Bruce Lee shouted: "Kill them all." None of them will be left!"

He didn't dare to let these people escape, otherwise the archers below would concentrate on shooting their horses, and it was estimated that all these ironclad soldiers would be useless.

Next, the pursuers encountered three more ambushes by crossbowmen, and they drew gourds in the same way, all of them broke through, and killed them all, leaving no one behind!

But. Of the three platoons of ironclad soldiers, there are less than twenty people left. The rest is all lost!

Now Bruce Lee has become the first echelon, and his elite guards and the remaining ironclad soldiers form a team and continue to advance through the chisel!

This section of the road just now, although narrow, can still accommodate two or three cavalry advancing together, dead and wounded enemy soldiers, dead horses and wounded soldiers on their own side. It must be clear from the road, otherwise it will become an obstacle.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of the road, Bruce Lee had to organize people, all of whom were extremely powerful soldiers, to kill these dead men and horses. Throw it on the steep slopes on both sides of the Han Valley, mostly hanging on the protruding rocks there, or among the trees.

The wounded of their own side can only be temporarily placed on the slope next to the valley, and wait until the battle is over, and then come to look for them.

There is no way to take them away, not only does it reduce their combat effectiveness, but it is also more dangerous for them, and the bumps in the road will aggravate their injuries.

After going about two miles further, I saw strange rocks on both sides, even taller, and the path in the middle was extremely narrow, allowing only one horse to enter!

Moreover, this horse can't be fat and strong, and the knight on the horse can't have big shoulders and round waists! Dong Zhuo definitely can't do that.

How can there be such a path?

Bruce Lee was suspicious.

Suddenly, he thought of the message that Mai Ke gave him just now, and there was a section of road in the middle known as "a mud pill and the east sealed the Han Valley", presumably here!

At first, she didn't understand what this meant, but now that she saw the lost ground, she realized that such a narrow passage was indeed a slightly larger ball of mud that could seal this passage!

I just don't know what tricks the enemy has here?

Don't think too much about it, an ironclad soldier should rush in first!

Then four or five ironclad soldiers followed.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the front!

It was the voice of the first ironclad soldier to enter, and Bruce Lee could distinguish it, because he was particularly resistant to fighting, and he resisted all of them in several crises before he persevered until now.

Then there were three or four screams, apparently the ironclad soldiers who followed behind!

In addition to the human voices, there are also horse neighings, all of which are the sad sounds before death.

Bruce Lee was furious, pulled out the last soldier who entered the mud pill lot, and jumped in himself!

He happened to see the last soldier being killed by the enemy!

It turned out that in the cliffs on both sides of the narrow valley road, two cold lights stood out, and one pierced the neck of the ironclad soldier, and he was beheaded on the spot!

The other slashed at the neck of the war horse, which was also a severed head!

Both men and horses let out a scream and lost their lives.

Bruce Lee was furious, flew forward, shouted with his arms, pulled out the dead war horse and the knight together, and then raised it above his head and threw it backwards!

Clearing the way, Bruce Lee strode forward, and the two nunchucks in his hand simultaneously performed a move Shuanglong into the sea, hitting the place where the cold light haunted just now!.
