Chapter 442: Bloody Battle Fengling Pass

Speaking of dry mouth, Qin Jin called a servant to serve wine and meat, and the two of them actually ate and drank. When the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info have something on their minds, it is easy to get drunk when they drink, and the eyes of Huang Fu Ke are a little blurry under the three bowls of wine, and he seems to have less scruples when he speaks.

"To put it mildly, Qin Yuanjun looks down on the old man's bones that are about to fall off the scum, as well as the Shuofang army under the old man's command......" Huangfu Ke stumbled out this sentence and kept staring at Qin Jin, waiting for his answer.

If you change the others, you can laugh at it and say that the old general is drunk, which is all nonsense. However, Qin Jin didn't want to be false to Huangfu after all, he put down the wine bowl, chewed the pork in his mouth and swallowed it, then looked directly at Huangfu Ke's aggressive gaze with the strength of wine, and replied word by word:

"The old general's words are serious, and it is a matter of the rise and fall of the world, how can Qin Jin make a decision because of his own likes and dislikes? In the final analysis, Qin Jin is just a local governor, and the resources he can use are extremely limited, but he must also deal with it with the greatest certainty, isn't it? If the old general thinks that he has been humiliated by Qin Jin's arrangement, he can do his own thing, after all, the old general is also an envoy......

Qin Jin stopped abruptly at the most urgent part of his tone, and after saying that, he poured himself a large bowl of wine, raised his neck and poured it down. On the contrary, Huangfu Ke was dumbfounded, his eyes were blankly fixed and looking ahead, but the focus was no longer on Qin Jin's face.

Suddenly, there was a loud tremor in several cases, and Huangfu Ke stood up, and actually slammed Qin Jin to the ground, and his voice choked up as he spoke.

"The words of the king are deafening, and Huang Fu Ke only cares about personal gains and losses, ...... is really ashamed" In this regard, Huang Fu Ke said that he would never mention going to Dugi Province to fight in battle, and it was all up to Qin Jin to send him.

Qin Jin was taken aback, he didn't expect Huangfu Ke's reaction to be so big, and he gave a big bow when he didn't agree. He hurriedly avoided the table to the side, and helped the emperor Fu Ke with both hands.

"The old general has tormented Qin, and the Shuofang army is staying in Yuanxia County, although it can't have the pleasure of fighting, it is very important for the Shenwu Army and Hedong Dao, and it must not be missing. The old general understands the righteousness so well, but it makes Qin embarrassed!"

As soon as the knot in his heart was untied, Huangfu Ke woke up miraculously, and after sitting down again, he picked up the wine bowl and exhaled happily, and then poured a full bowl and held it with both hands.

"If you guess correctly, Qin Envoy Jun is going to set off for the west tonight, and the old man is no longer pretending to be confused, this bowl of wine should be practiced for the envoy, and it will be done!"

After saying a word, I drank it again!

It was a moonlit and starry night, and the 5,000 cavalry galloped westward along the official road leading to Hedong City. It has been two hours since I left Xia County, and I can reach Hedong City after dawn after calculating the mileage. But the destination of Qin Jin's trip was by no means Hedong City, after arriving at Hedong City, the army would turn south, along the Yellow River to Fengling Pass, he had to cross the Yellow River from Fengling Pass, and finally reach the end of the trip, Tongguan.

The 5,000 cavalry of the Tongluo tribe were all one man and two horses, so the speed of the march was far better than that of one man and one horse. At this time, Qin Jin was disturbed by Du Fu's expedited army report, so he kept urging him to hurry regardless of the horsepower limit, as long as he failed to reach Tongguan for a moment, his heart could not be settled.

And this kind of chaotic situation is the first time for Qin Jin, even when Xin'an is most desperate, he has never had such panic. Perhaps, this is the so-called premonition, and a bad premonition will always carry people's thoughts straight to resist the fall. But the next moment, the roar of the horse's hooves pulled Qin Jin straight back from this fall, and then continued to fall......

Qin Jin was desperately urging the mount under his crotch in this kind of repeated entanglement, and he didn't even care about the blur of flesh and blood on the inner thigh that was ground by the saddle.

"Envoy, Hedong City has arrived, do you want to enter the city to rest?"

The war horse Herody stood still, Qin Jin grabbed the reins of the horse, and looked ahead through the reddish sunlight of the dawn, the projection of the city wall looked particularly majestic and majestic, but this was just an illusion, what if the people's hearts were scattered, even if the golden soup city was scattered?

A few cold words squeezed out of Qin Jin's mouth.

"If you don't get off your horse, you must arrive at Fenglingdu before dark!"

After Fenglingdu is Tongguan, perhaps only when he sees the city wall of Tongguan, the uneasiness in Qin Jin's heart will dissipate.

For this kind of rapid march to the limit of squeezing, even Wuhu Huaizhong was a little unbearable, not that he himself could not bear it, but he felt sorry for the war horses, along the way hundreds of war horses had died on the spot because of physical exhaustion, if they were forced to march in such a careless manner, they didn't know how much they would die......

"Envoy, people don't stop, let the horse rest for half an hour!"

However, Qin Jin was furious and hissed:

"If you don't want to leave, you can be a deserter! How many horses have died, Qin will make up for you twice after the war......"

Everyone was stunned, Qin Jin had always given the impression of being gentle and elegant, and he had never even deliberately aggravated his tone, and now the hysteria he was showing was more of an unspeakable sense of urgency than terrifying.

What happened to Qin Envoy, who has always been a wise pearl and calm and relaxed, and what is he afraid of?

However, since then, no one has mentioned the matter of resting in front of Qin Jin, and the 5,000 cavalry scattered along the official road on the east bank of the Yellow River and galloped southward, and along the way, there were constantly war horses and dead horses.

Qin Jin only felt that his entire body was numb by the jolting of the war horse and lost consciousness, as if sitting on the horse's back was just a sentence of the walking dead. Suddenly there was a coldness on his face, and he looked up in surprise, only to find that flakes of snow were falling, sprinkling one after another, and then enveloping all the five thousand cavalry like a curtain of snow.

It's snowing, the first snow in 15 years!

This was originally a very beautiful thing, but it was a great bad thing for the Shenwu army who were in a hurry, and the heavy snow not only blocked the view of the cavalry, but also affected the speed of the gallop. Fortunately, they ran south along the east bank of the Yellow River so that they did not lose their way in the heavy snow, which is the only place to be thankful.

The sudden heavy snow could not stop Qin Jin's determination to rush desperately, and before dark, he had to reach Fengling Pass.

Fortunately, this heavy snow is limited by the geographical area is not very wide, after passing Shouyang Mountain, the goose feather snow that was originally raised has turned sparse, only sporadic snow is left, and even the sun is half covered and half exposed to the south.

Qin Jin secretly said that God is not always ruthless after all!

"Report to the envoy, five miles ahead is Fengling Pass, and Tanma has already taken the first step to inform the local guards......"

All the tight strings were finally loosened, and Qin Envoy's military order was to arrive at Fengling Pass overnight, but it was not said that he had crossed Fengling Pass overnight, and the implication was to rest overnight at Fengling Pass and then hurry.

Sure enough, Qin Jin ordered the cavalry to slow down the pace of advance, and at the same time, everyone was divided into two teams, the front and the back, and slowly moved forward.

"Runaway, runaway!"

I don't know which sharp-eyed one shouted, and everyone's eyes immediately searched around, and then fell on a group of untidy soldiers.

It is not arbitrary to say that they are fugitives, because after the group of soldiers wearing ** armor found the cavalry of the Shenwu Army, instead of being half happy, they scattered in all directions in horror. Although the military law of the Tang Dynasty is not strict, it punishes fugitives with death. Only fugitives who have committed capital crimes will see the figure of Tang Jun as if they had seen a life-seeking Yama.

How could these panicked fugitives outrun the four-legged cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of them were caught and taken in front of Qin Jin.

Qin Jin didn't need to be interrogated, and he knew the reason. The sound of war drums in front of him has already explained everything, and there must be a big battle going on under Fengling Pass.

Wuhu Huaizhong simply interrogated a person who looked like a fugitive, and sure enough, Fengling Pass was attacked, as for where the enemy came from, the number of people and horses, but the other party didn't know anything.

Seeing this, Qin Jin secretly sneered, these fugitives looked like wine bags and rice bags in the army.

"There is no need to interrogate, not one is left, all of them will be beheaded, in order to set an example!"

The relaxation did not last more than a quarter of an hour, and the presence of the deserters put an end to this unrealistically relaxed.

"Prepare to fight, Wuhu Huaizhong, can you still fight?"

Of course, Qin Jin asked this because he was in a hurry for a day and a night, even if he still had the physical strength to fight, he was afraid that the war horses would be at the end of the crossbow. Wuhu Huaizhong replied without hesitation: "Fight to the death!"

It is enough to have Wuhu Huaizhong's words, although Qin Jin does not know these cavalry, he understands Wuhu Huaizhong, as long as he can agree, he must be sure.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hu Huaizhong spoke again:

"Please watch the battle from the rear......"

Qin Jin's blood surged, and he didn't answer, but his legs clamped the horse's belly, the reins shook off, and the war horse accelerated and rushed over.

Although he had enough psychological preparation, after turning over the pass, the scene in front of him still shocked Qin Jin beyond measure.

Fengling Pass is only a small gate city that exists because of Fengling Crossing, but outside the gate city is densely packed with ant-like people, looking at it, the small scale of the gate is like a fallen leaf in a storm, and it seems that it will be flooded at any time......

"Good boy, where did so many people come from......"

A soldier behind him asked stupidly, but Qin Jin's heart was like a knife, and the ominous premonition along the way was still fulfilled. At this time, even with your toes, you can guess that these people must be from the direction of Tongguan.

They were able to unscrupulously cross the river to attack Fengling Pass, and Tongguan was probably already more than auspicious! Countless torches lit up Fengling Pass, reflecting a radius of several miles as if it were daylight, and the other party actually planned to attack the city overnight.

When the sun completely submerged into the sky, the last ray of sunlight disappeared, and in the darkness, Qin Jin kept urging the war horse to speed up, since the worst may have happened, then fight to the death. The main force of the Shenwu Army has just been drawn from Jiang and Jin counties, and the so-called far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and all he can rely on is the five thousand exhausted Tongluo cavalry under the command of Wuhu Huaizhong!
