Chapter 029: The Iron Rider Shows His Might
The archers, who did not know the truth, let their guard down and rushed out of the stacks. Before long, they were disarmed unsuspectingly. Nishino won with a surprise move, and controlled Hanya Pass bloodlessly, doing it easily and beautifully!
Hangu Pass fell into the hands of Nishino, and Zhao Gao and Gongzi knew nothing about them, and still walked in the direction of Hangu Pass as always.
On the other side, Zhao Gao, in the name of the first emperor, constantly issued the edict of "King Qin", ordering all the Qin troops garrisoned everywhere to pull out the camp and leave, and quickly move closer to the emperor. After receiving the edict, the generals of the Qin army in various places were suspicious and only led part of the army to come.
18,000 people from Hangu Pass, 20,000 people from Lantian Daying, and only 5,000 people from Wuguan came from Wuguan, and they haven't passed Hangu Pass yet, which is one day slower than the Jiuyuan Army.
Only the more than 30,000 defenders of Xingyang were all drawn out because the emperor passed through this place, and the Xingyang camp was empty. As soon as all the generals who came to "King Qin" reported to the emperor's army, Gongzili detained them one by one, and the army was taken over by other generals appointed by Zhao Gaoan.
In this way, the original escort of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses plus the "King Qin" soldiers and horses from all over the country, a total of more than 90,000 people, all commanded by Zhao Gao and Gongzili, hugged the ground to protect the emperor, and the wind and dust swaggered towards Hangu Pass.
The front team saw from afar that the Hangu Pass was closed, and the people and merchants outside the pass were scattered, and they felt bad, and reported the situation to Zhao Gao and others in a panic.
"My lord, Hangu Pass is unusually quiet, I can't see the original defenders, and there is chaos nearby."
"Oh, that's it." Zhao Gao didn't know that Hangu Pass had been controlled by the Great Wall Army, so he was not surprised at all.
"Lord Zhao, this matter is by no means ordinary, we can't be careless." Childe pulled out his sword and came out, "The whole army do-"
Zhao Gao raised his right hand and signaled to stop, asking Gongzi to leave and give the order to start a war.
"Lord Zhao, why do you want to stop this son's order?" Childe asked indignantly.
"What's the panic, send a few Hanguguan sergeants to inquire about it." Zhao Gao is confident.
"Okay." Childe is helpless.
"There is a decree from the saint, the sergeant of Hangu Pass quickly goes to knock on the pass!" Zhao Gao shouted.
"There is a decree from the Holy Father, Sergeant Hanguguan hurry up and knock on the pass—" The order was passed all the way to the sergeant of Hanguguan.
After a while, five or six sergeants from Hangu Pass rode their horses and slowly marched to the front of the pass and asked, "Is General Fan Jie Fan available?" I have urgent military affairs, we have to enter the customs immediately, and I respectfully ask him to come out and reply! ”
For a long time, Fan Jie did not appear at the gate. Finally, a herald from Hangu Pass came out to talk: "Listen to the soldiers below, due to the urgent enemy situation, the opening and closing of the door must be carried out by His Majesty the First Emperor, please go back quickly to pass the order." ”
The sergeants of Hangu Pass, you look at me, I look at you, there is no other way but to go back and resume your life: "My lord, they said that they must show His Majesty's edict before agreeing to open and let go." ”
"No, who would dare to stop His Majesty from entering the customs?" Zhao Gao almost believed his ears.
"My lord, we didn't see General Fan."
"A wise man thinks a thousand times, and he will make a mistake. Oh no, Hanguguan has changed people-" Zhao Gao's blood surged up, and he almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, his godson Zhao Dao, the little eunuch, was there and helped him.
Gongzili seemed to notice something, and Mao recommended himself: "Wait for me to go to the front army and find out the situation." ”
Zhao Gao immediately turned his worries into joy: "Then there is Lao Gongzi." ”
"No-" Gongzi didn't look back, raised his hand, and then whipped the horse and went in the direction of the Qin army.
"Gongzili is really up to the task." Zhao Gao looked at the back of Gongzili galloping quickly, and said with a smile. At this critical moment, we must stabilize the morale of the army and control the army, Gongzi Li and himself are grasshoppers on a rope, and it is most suitable for him to go to the army to maintain stability.
When the former army escorting the emperor drove to Hangu Pass, the gate was already open. There was a cavalry formation in front of the pass, and there were two tall horses in front of the formation, and the generals on the horses were Jiuxiong and Xiye, one was majestic, the other was steady and majestic, and more than a dozen murderous warriors spread out in a semicircle, guarding them.
The generals of the former army saw that there were soldiers and horses blocking the pass, and the attire and banner were also the Great Qin army, and the reckless attack might not be able to take advantage, so they stopped advancing and set up a formation to wait for orders.
At this time, Nishino began to shout: "The general on the other side, please come out and talk." After a while, I saw the five cavalry generals dressed as beating horses and walking out of front of the battle.
Xiye took a horse and walked out for more than a dozen steps, and Le Ma stopped and said: "We are the eldest prince Fusu and the general of the Jiuyuan Army, Meng Tian, and I suspect that someone wants to harm His Majesty the Emperor and falsely pass on the holy decree to cause trouble to the imperial court, so I have come to ask for a reply, and there are General Lao - to introduce Your Majesty to us." When he said the last sentence, Nishino deliberately raised his voice and shouted.
The voice was so loud that all the officers and men of the front army on the opposite side heard it, and these front troops were all garrison troops transferred from various passes and Xingyang, and they were put together, and there was an uproar, and all of them were in a riot and talked about it.
"Could it be that the orders we received from King Qin are all false edicts?"
"Could it be that Your Majesty is in the army?"
"Has Your Majesty been held hostage?"
"No wonder Lord Zhao Gao Zhao wants our whole army to be dispatched!" ……
The situation was unexpected, and the five former army generals looked at each other, at a loss: "Whatever you shout, give me silence, silence-"
After shouting more than a dozen times in a row, the restless noise of the front army gradually quieted down. Several people hurriedly beat their horses back to the battle, and then sent messengers to Zhao Gao in a hurry to report the situation.
Without Li Si's help in planning, Gongzi Li would be two hundred and five at best, and Zhao Gao's false holy decree was full of loopholes, and at this moment, I never expected that "Fusu and Meng Tian" would have seized Hangu Pass, and the speed was so fast!
Every news reported, it made him tremble, this is not the news that Fusu and Meng Tian asked for a repetition in front of the battle, with the iron horse as the backing, and shouted at him, this is simply his life, the knife pierces the heart!
As the saying goes: a rabbit bites even when it's in a hurry. He said with a heart: "Pass on Your Majesty's message, 'The army will rush to kill the past, and the anti-thieves will help Su and Meng Tian to correct the law on the spot'!" ”
"No!" The herald agreed, and rode his horse quickly to the front army to give the order.
The temporary leading general in front of the battle was Zhao Gao's henchman, and after receiving the order, he was very happy, and immediately drew his sword and gave the order: "Kill-"
Nishino had expected this situation for a long time. The Nine Bears were soldiers who intended to lure the enemy deep and surrender without a fight: let the former army enter the pass of Hangu Pass, and the sides were lined with archers, bending their bows and arrows, and forcing them to surrender.
However, Xiye was very confident in the Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry and his own ability, and immediately vetoed Jiuxiong's suggestion: "Eldest Prince, more than ten years ago, you and I led the Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry, swept across the desert, and beheaded hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry. ”
Jiuxiong's arrogance suddenly rose, and he was full of confidence: "Then let the world appreciate the power of the Jiuyuan Iron Horse!" ”
The army of "King Qin" on the opposite side rushed over, and Nishino did not engage it head-on, leading the horse team to retreat aside. Jiuxiong drew his sword, raised it to the sky, then slashed left and right, and then moved forward, and the Jiuyuan cavalry in the pass took the opportunity to fish out.
What is surprising is that they do not have real knives and guns in their hands, but they hold the barrels of guns with the heads removed. Although they are running at a rapid pace, they are in a neat formation, and those who know the military formation can recognize them at a glance, and they are running in a conical formation of three horsemen in the shape of an arrow, and the whole is a big arrow, which goes straight into the heart of the enemy.
This was the cavalry formation that Wu Anjun was accustomed to in those years, and he won many battles, and the six countries in the East were scattered, and he was frightened.
The first batch of charging miscellaneous troops encountered the Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry, and the Jiuyuan Cavalry waved a long pole, knocking all the swords in the enemy's hands away, and they fell to the side, and the foot soldiers were also overturned to the ground, and they were captured, and the first round of attack of the "King Qinwang" army was defeated.
The general of the motley legion couldn't help but be taken aback, dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he gave the order in a frenzy: "The whole army is attacking-" Tens of thousands of cavalry launched a charge again.
Nine Bears was not afraid of danger, raised his sword again, and drew a semicircle in the air, and the Jiuyuan cavalry immediately changed the overall formation, the rear team became the front team, and rushed forward in a fan shape, while the cavalry on the flank surrounded the front legion of the "King Qin".
In an instant, five thousand cavalrymen with neat guns and swords appeared behind Xiye, and Jiuxiong also rode over and shouted: "The soldiers of Great Qin, we are the cavalry regiment of Jiuyuan, and we are here to ask the government, and we don't want to fight with you!" ”
The ragtag legions began to react, and the morale of the soldiers quickly plummeted.
Jiuxiong then shouted: "Rank, please put down your weapons and get out of the way, if you continue to entangle, you will not have long eyes." ”
They all saw it very clearly, the sincerity of the opponent had been conveyed, if the Jiuyuan cavalry wanted to kill people, and the first formation used real knives and real guns, I am afraid that there would already be a river of blood and dead bodies everywhere. The encircled phalanx of foot soldiers began to stir up, and unconsciously gave way to a way.
Zhao Gao's henchmen and generals saw that the situation was not right, the situation was out of control, and they also estimated that they could not defeat Xiye (Meng Tian)'s cavalry regiment, so they turned their horses' heads and ran to the lane to report to Zhao Gao.
Suddenly, a man and a rider flew in the middle of the avenue, "Fusu" was too familiar with this figure, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Zuo Prime Minister Li Si!" ”
In fact, this is Li Si, it was Luo Yu who used Jinyiwei's disguise technique to turn into Li Si's face, and the colorful butterfly girl used the blinding method to send him here, and even Nishino didn't know.
"Prince, the old minister is late, please atone for your sins!" Luo Qi came down and wanted to salute the nine bears.
"What is the sin? Prime Minister, please get up—" Nine Bears' brains spun fast.
Luo Qi was silent: "Thank you to the prince." Then he got back on his horse and sat down.
"Eldest prince, please go to the emperor to see what is going on, without further ado." Nishino urged.
"Good!"
Jiuxiong and Nishino took "Li Si" and led 10,000 elites to march towards the emperor together.
