Chapter Twenty-Three: Cold on All Sides
The defenders couldn't help but be stunned, but the sword of the Han Ming rode did not stop. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Several white lights flashed, and several heads rose into the sky, and blood rained down. Without hesitation, Han Ming instantly broke into the Chu army that had not yet reacted, and there was a brutal slaughter.
When the brave meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, not to mention that there is also Pei Yun, a top master, in the Han Ming ride. Heavy sword shadows danced, and everywhere they passed, the Chu army's flesh and blood flew sideways, and the bright red carpet spread all the way!
A long time ago, Han Ming picked up the horn and blew it.
Zhong Xiaobai, who was leading the feint attack below, was about to retreat, when he suddenly heard the sound of a horn from above, and thought he had heard it wrong. After reconfirming, Zhong Xiaobai, who was excited and couldn't help himself, immediately ordered to change the feint attack to a real attack, and fully cooperate to take Yanmen Pass!
At this juncture, there was already a great chaos, and the unhindered Han Ming army rushed up the ridge one after another, countless flying claws were thrown, countless soldiers climbed up, the gate was opened, more Han Ming soldiers swarmed in, and all the Chu troops were crushed and wiped out.
Brother Yun, they succeeded! The Chu Ting banner was cut down, and the big banner finally fluttered in the wind over the Yanmen Pass!
The soldiers who continued to enter the Yanmen Pass quickly occupied all the passes, and the entire mountain was full of troops interspersed with each other, like countless rivers flowing in the mountains.
The entire mountain range is boiling, the entire Lianheng mountain range is boiling, the soldiers with surging hearts thunder and thunder in the whole mountain range of birds and beasts running, the entire vertical and horizontal mountains that are shaking seem to be trembling, and the echo is not going for a long time!
However, at this moment of enthusiasm, the scouts sent to report that they found that there were 20,000 pioneers of the Chu army, and the direction of advance was Yanmen Pass.
Just in time.
The corners of Pei Yun's mouth were slightly slanted, so as to add another fire to the morale of the tiregarne. And so and so shall be commanded to the congregation.
On the same day, the Chu army sent a small team of soldiers to visit the pass in advance, and saw that all the soldiers on the pass were their own family horses, leaving a few people to arrange the greeting. The rest of the people returned to report to the vanguard generals.
Although General Chu knew that Yanmen Pass must not be lost, he still felt very happy when he heard it with his own ears, and presumably those humble and ignorant horse thieves still had a headache outside Yanmen Pass.
He ordered the army to speed up, and soon reached the gorge, where the 20,000-strong army had to change formation and march in a line. However, the further you go in, the narrower the road becomes, as if the steep peaks and cliffs on both sides are silently squeezing towards the middle, making people panic for no reason.
The road is becoming more and more difficult to walk, the Chu army has long been out of formation, and some people complain from time to time, and the happy Chu general is regarded as not hearing.
However, his good mood soon disappeared, because as the road conditions became worse and the horses could not walk, he had to dismount and walk on foot with the soldiers. And he was almost closed, and he didn't even see the leader of the inside come out to greet him, and there was no one in his eyes!
After climbing the first steep mountain, Yanmen Pass finally appeared in front of me. General Chu was furious, and said to the pawn next to him: "Go quickly, call me the Yanmen Guan Qianjiang!"
The pawn received the order, looked at the high and steep slope, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that the Han Ming cavalry could not attack, on this terrain, not to mention attacking, it was half dead tired when he went up. The pawn patted his weak legs, gritted his teeth, and climbed up.
Soon, the pawn who went up came down, but the pace looked much easier.
The pawn lowered his head and came over, and General Chu didn't care about the pawn's abnormality, and asked, "What does the thousand generals here say?" ”
The pawn said: "A thousand generals said that they want to take your life." ”
"Bold!" Chu Jiang was furious, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong, this little pawn had followed him for many years, and his voice couldn't be clearer, how could it have changed all at once. General Chu hadn't realized the possibility that Yanmen Pass had fallen, and looked at the pawn with puzzled eyes, and it was a strange face with a smile on his face.
"You are ......" Chu was confused by the pawn's friendly expression.
"My name is Leping. ”
After Leping finished speaking, a short crossbow suddenly appeared in his hand, pointing at General Chu.
As if stared at by a poisonous snake, Chu Jiang instantly sweated on his back, and a cold breath rushed straight to his head from the soles of his feet, and after his brain was blank, he was about to dodge sideways, when a shadow flashed, and the powerful strength of the arrow passed directly through Chu Jiang's throat, and the blood arrow rushed out!
Leping struck a blow, quickly turned around, and rushed up the steep ridge in a few strokes.
He killed the general!
The old Chu army was still in shock for a long time.
At this moment, when the closing rumble was loud and the army was amazed, countless huge trees and rolling stones rushed down from above, and the momentum was so great that the ground under their feet was trembling, and the cliffs on both sides were about to collapse!
The Chu army was immediately in chaos, and the soldiers who saw the disaster in front squeezed back in horror, but 20,000 people, the front had already reached the pass, and the tail was still in the canyon, and the people behind continued to move forward, and the people in front squeezed back, and some people did not hesitate to use knives to open the way, and it was a complete chaos!
However, the opening of the tragedy was inevitable.
The huge wooden rolling stones poured down, and slammed into the chaotic crowd, flesh and blood flying, I don't know how many people were smashed to pieces, and how many people were crushed into the flesh and blood!
The sound seemed to disappear in an instant, and in the silence, people's faces seemed to freeze, and people's struggles became slow motion. Under a boulder, a bloodless finger covered in mud stretched out, paused in the air for a few seconds, and slowly fell.
The crowded bottom of the ridge is no longer crowded, layers of corpses are glued together, the heads are broken, the body is broken, the organ and the turbid blood are mixed together, and the loess is stirred, forming a large pool of blood, which is the most miserable scene in the world!
But that's not enough.
The Yanmen Pass was wide open, and countless soldiers poured out of it, rushing towards the miserable Chu army at the bottom of the ridge, like wolves breaking into the flock, unilateral slaughter, adding another layer of corpses.
And at the mouth of the canyon, the Chu army, who heard the terrible screams and loud rumbling sounds in the canyon, was waiting in place nervously.
At this moment, a horn sounded like a horn that shook Hengling, and behind the slower slopes on both sides, countless black-armored soldiers appeared like ghosts, making it even more terrifying in this already gloomy valley mouth.
"Kill!" I don't know who made the sound, this sound, like the key to open the hellish ghost door, the ghosts who couldn't wait showed their cold claws one after another, and rushed towards the poor crowd below.
However, just as the panicked Chu army was preparing to resist, a rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun appeared in the sky. Chu Jun's raised gaze was obscured by a black shadow, and the tips of the arrows in his ever-dilating pupils were flashing with a chilling cold light.
――
Arrows fall like flying locusts, Chu Jun falls like cutting wheat, and no one's eyes are not open and round, staring at the black torrent that is pouring down from above! The robe fell to the ground, and the blood rain in the sky flew, and there was a drop of blood, which dripped on the pupils, and could splash, scattering blood-red spots in the black and white eye sockets, terrifying!
Some of the frightened Chu troops fled out of the canyon, but when they finally thought they had escaped-
Outside the canyon, there was still black armor, gloomy eyes, and unsheathed knives! A wide and neat phalanx stood on the plain, and the wind blew, rolling up the yellow sand and walking through, depressed and murderous.
At what moment did the Chu army's will to resist collapse, and despair welled up in his heart.
"Dangchang!"
A Chu soldier's weapon fell to the ground, a crisp sound was clearly audible all around, and then, there was a dull kneeling sound.
Immediately afterward, the sound of weapons dropping sounded one after another, and a wave of people lowered their heads and bowed their heads to the phalanx in the distance.
Twenty miles southeast of Yanmen Pass, Zhong Lifang's army.
The neat and orderly Chu army slowly marched towards Yanmen Pass, a column of 100 people, each column was half a step apart, looking back, the boundless blue-gray extension disappeared at the end of the sky. The military appearance is huge, and the sky is dark.
With such a huge army, if the horses outside the Yanmen Pass can be transported, and all the 100,000 Warrior Horsemen are dispatched, there is no need to take it seriously, but the terrain in the Shenling Mountains is simply not able to transport a large number of horses in a short period of time to form a combat effectiveness. And if the Humming cavalry fights on foot, even if it can win, I am afraid that it will be greatly damaged by then, and it will no longer be able to go south.
In such a situation, what Pei Yun has to do is not to annihilate the Chu army, but to give it a blow to the head, frustrate the morale of the Chu army, and then find a way to transport the horses, and then have a good fight with Zhong Lifang, I hope that this general will not disappoint Pei Yun in the future.
Just as the 300,000 Chu army was marching forward, in front, an army that had lost its armor and was embarrassed suddenly appeared from around the corner and ran head-on, counting nearly a thousand. The Chu army hurriedly prepared to meet the enemy, and some sharp-eyed soldiers saw the person coming and said loudly: "It's General Meng!"
