Chapter Twenty-Four: The Bones Float
Hearing this, the nervous soldiers did not let go, but became more and more nervous. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Seeing General Meng's army, it must have encountered a strong enemy, and perhaps there will be an enemy chasing after it.
In the distance, I heard one of General Meng's troops shouting: "Go and tell General Zhongli that Yanmen Pass has been occupied by the enemy!"
As soon as the Chu army was shocked, someone rushed to the Chinese army on horseback to inform them of the bad news.
No one on General Meng's side spoke, just ran this way. The Chu army also understood that if the defeated army did not flee in a panic, would it still be able to take three steps slowly? It seems that the enemy they will face is very strong.
When the remnant of the army came to him, two hundred men rode forward, ready to change their horses for them.
However, at this moment, General Meng looked up and revealed a face that he had never seen before. The momentum of the Chu army, which was originally dejected, changed suddenly.
The two hundred generals were shocked, how they did not know that something had happened during this extraordinary period of war, but they found out too late.
Just when the hundred generals gave warnings, two arrows quickly passed through the throats of the two hundred generals, and behind them, hundreds of arrows with fierce momentum shot into the Chu army formation like flying locusts, shooting over a large number of Chu soldiers.
Hundreds of Han Ming had already taken off the clothes of the Chu soldiers, rushed into the Chu army formation with steel knives and killed them, and killed hundreds of Chu soldiers on the head. The Chu soldiers in the rear surrounded one after another, and they wanted to destroy these enemies who dared to provoke Tianwei.
At this moment, at the bend of the low hill in the direction of Yanmen Pass, a cavalry of several hundred people suddenly appeared! The cavalry was extremely fast, and they quickly rushed to kill, wantonly killing the Chu army that had just formed a circle, and thousands of Chu troops died under the cavalry knife in less than half an hour.
The large army of the Chu army in the rear knew that there was an attack on the front, and they scattered all over the field under the orders of various generals.
And between the cavalry and the raid, the soldiers who fought on foot on the ground had already mounted their horses before the arrival of the large army of the Chu army, and then the two of them left in the dust, and the Chu army could not catch up with them, and returned indignantly.
Zhong Lifang of the Chinese army was furious when he heard this, and when he learned that Yanmen Pass had fallen, he was even more furious, and he directly waved his army to attack Yanmen Pass. Sima of the army did not listen to the persuasion.
The 100,000 troops of the front army bustled into the ancient dangerous road of Yanmen Pass, and the miserable scene before they could clean up made the Chu soldiers terrified, but the military order was behind, so they had to go up.
The result can be imagined, there are countless rolling wood radium stones, Pei Yun smeared the fire oil on the giant wood, and after igniting it, it formed a huge fireball full of mountains, rolling down......
Zhong Lifang sat in the military tent outside the canyon, quite having the feeling of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. He didn't know the situation of the front army, and when he heard the news that the soldiers were defeated and retreated one after another, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and ordered the army to continue to counterattack, but he didn't believe that the 300,000 army could not capture Yanmen Pass.
Until the final casualties were too great, and many soldiers were afraid and resentful, Sima panicked and hurried to Zhonglifang's tent.
"General, no, no more!"
"A small Yanmen Pass, can it still stop my army of 300,000? Sima and look, in another half an hour, this pass will definitely go down. Zhong Lifang said disdainfully, looking down on Sima for being so cowardly.
"General, Yanmen Pass is the first danger in the world, if you don't use a trick, a million troops can't cross it. ”
Zhong Lifang frowned and said: "Sima's words are suspected of disturbing our army's heart, so I am not afraid of this general's law!"
Sima also said angrily: "The general doesn't know, more than 30,000 of my soldiers have died under the Yanmen Gate!"
Zhong Lifang was about to reprimand Sima for being alarmist, when the tent door suddenly opened, and the deputy general hurriedly came in, with a panicked face, and said without saluting: "General, Yanmen Pass can't be attacked urgently, more than 50,000 people, all dead!" The deputy general said, tears flashed in the tiger's eyes, and he knelt down with a thud.
Sima sighed when he heard this, and looked at Zhong Lifang.
Zhong Lifang was startled, and was about to speak, when another general hurried in, and said without saluting: "General, the soldiers are unwilling to attack the storm at the mouth of the canyon, if they force it again, they are afraid of change." ”
Zhong Lifang was not shocked and angry, and waved his big hand: "Let's go, go with Ben and take a look, and turn against them." ”
Zhong Lifang rode to the mouth of the canyon under the escort of the pro-army, and a bad smell came to his nose, but there was no lively scene of the siege in full swing as he imagined, and the anger in his heart was even worse, and he was about to scold at the soldiers around him: "You ......"
His voice stopped abruptly, and then his eyes showed horror.
Just in front of him, in the direction of the canyon, the bloodied soldier parted expressionlessly, allowing his eyes to look smoothly into the canyon.
And at this glance, Zhong Lifang's soul was so frightened that he fell off the horse, and the deputy general hurriedly dismounted and supported him. Zhong Lifang pointed to the front with a trembling hand, and said intermittently: "Blood...... Blood ......". Intense fear rose from his heart, and Zhong Lifang's eyes didn't dare to look there anymore.
I saw that in the depths of the canyon, a red strand slowly creeped out, gradually spreading out, expanding, and the spring water generally flowed out from the inside. I could see it clearly, it was blood, and the unpleasant smell that Zhong Lifang smelled was the smell of blood emitted from the blood shed by the Great Chu soldiers in the depths of the canyon!
"Hurry up, take me away!" Zhong Lifang shouted hysterically, not even having the strength to get on the horse, "Take me away! You dare to bring me here, all military law will deal with it!" Zhong Li slapped the lieutenant's body, and the panicked appearance made the officers and men of the three armies all contempt and anger.
The fiery soldier wanted to go up and chop Zhong Lifang, but thinking about his wife, children and mother at home, he had to suppress the grief and anger in his heart and glared angrily at Zhong Lifang.
Sima was also shocked when he saw the river of blood flowing over, and his scalp was numb, but he was far from being as unbearable as Zhong Lifang, he just felt extremely unbearable, and his eyes when he looked at Zhong Lifang were no longer as respectful as usual, and said lightly: "General Zhongli, that is the blood of my Great Chu soldiers, don't panic." ”
"Let's go, let's go......" Zhong Lifang just urged the lieutenant general to take him away.
The river of blood came, and the feet of the last soldier were soaked in it. Zhong Lifang's mind was already occupied by fear, and over there, it seemed that countless powerful ghosts were roaring towards him, and he just wanted to get out of here now.
In the end, the adjutant general left with Zhong Lifang, and Sima looked at the angry soldiers, dropped a sentence of "retreat" and left. Tens of thousands of former soldiers knelt down in front of the mouth of the canyon in rows, some cried loudly, and some even held the blood under their bodies and wiped it on their faces, and the tears rushed out two shallow marks on the blood-red face.
In the end, the Chu army also left one after another.
The Yanmen was closed, and hundreds of soldiers who participated in the battle stood silently, and the end of the hateful gaze was below.
The wind is blowing, the dry bones are wailing, the sun is gone, and the ghosts are terrifying. The endless blood-colored mist was swirling, the smell of the fishy wind was disgusting, the scarlet blood water gathered into a river, the bones of the endless earth were soaking and floating on it, the cliffs on both sides were all stained with scarlet blood, and all the scenery between heaven and earth was shrouded in a faint blood!
The valley is filled with layers of corpses that have long been out of human shape, a real mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a real human purgatory, that is tens of thousands of people! It is the cold-blooded Warrior Rider, his back is also cold, and his scalp is numb.
The blood reflected the heaven and the earth, and also reflected Pei Yun's eyes, his hands turned white from the exertion, and the anger in his heart had already risen.
Zhong Lifang, kill him.
Scouts were sent to make sure that the Chu army had retreated to camp fifty miles away, and Pei Yun dispatched 200 cavalry to supervise and 7,000 troops to clean up the corpses below, and all of them were carried to a place outside the canyon for burial.
Seeing the piles of corpses, Chu Bing was stunned. Yes, it is the fear that is even at the back, and they are more puzzled in their hearts, and they don't understand why their general will let so many comrades in the robe keep coming here to die, even a small soldier knows the truth that danger cannot be attacked.
The Chu soldiers waded in the river of blood that was about to solidify, silently carrying countless corpses. Outside the canyon were two hundred enemy cavalry, and the corpses in their hands were killed by the enemy, but they had no reason to hate the enemy.
It was ridiculous to say, until the last corpse was carried out, the Chu soldiers still didn't understand why Zhong Lifang did this. This is also the sorrow of the soldiers in this era, but it is not the sorrow of the people.
