Chapter 3: The Battle of the Great Wall Pass

"What! Someone is missing! ”

When the soldiers and horses heard the news, they immediately became nervous, and it was dark at this time, and if someone made a surprise attack, I was afraid that the situation would be dangerous. Fortunately, the commander and the team leader were very experienced, kept calm, and strictly ordered the soldiers and horses not to move around at will, which controlled the initial chaos.

After a while, Li Zhen appeared in the center of the camp with several leaders of the convoy and Zhang Ding after inspecting the situation. He shouted calmly, "Don't panic! After checking that half of the jewels were missing, it is estimated that the team of robbers escaped without permission. ”

"Listen to my orders, the first, fourth and fifty tuns will stay in place, the third and fifty tuns will follow me to pursue, and the rest of the men and horses will be led by Zhang Ding, and after half an hour, escort the convoy to the north."

"Whoa!"

Everyone spoke in unison. Li Zhen's quick arrangement and unwavering roar instantly calmed the army's heart. Everyone boarded the carriage and mounted their horses, and carried out the order.

Tong Yuan frowned, sensing that this matter was not simple, he hurriedly asked about the situation in each tun.

Hu Lang'er introduced: "The first and second tun are all county soldiers, and the tun commander and team leader are veterans of the original General Niu Fu's army. Santun has a certain strength, half of which is composed of strong displaced people from Shangjun, Xihe and other places, and half of them are mercenaries composed of robbers. ”

"And Situn and Wutun are the elite of the whole song, half of each of Situn Han and Hu, all of whom are soldiers of a hundred battles. Wutun Han people are the majority, and they are veterans who follow Li Zhen, and they are the best equipped. ”

Tong Yuan said: "In this way, in all aspects, our department must follow the team." You are ready to go, I will go to Weiyang-jun to discuss it first. ”

"Whoa."

He was anxious in his heart, and after the report, he entered Dong Bai's tent, only to see that Dong Bai had changed into exquisite armor and seemed to be ready for battle.

Dong Bai saw that Tong Yuan was a little panicked, and said: "My grandfather taught me that when there is a night attack in the army, I must stay calm and let the soldiers around me feel at ease."

After speaking, Tong Yuan was specially invited to sit at the table. It didn't matter if he sat down, Tong Yuan only felt a faint pain in his legs, and his attention was forced to shift from thinking to the present.

Before the Jin Dynasty, there were no stools, chairs and other furniture in China that could sit and straighten the legs, and whether it was a bed, a couch, a mat, or a floor, it was mainly kneeling. This time, Tong Yuan's leg hurt badly, so naturally he didn't think about other things.

Tong Yuan introduced the situation just now, thinking that although Li Zhen's arrangement was very decisive, the strength of the convoy was weakened, and the fourth tun where he was located was actually arranged to stay in place.

He analyzed: "I don't think Li Zhen's arrangement is appropriate, and now I have no right to directly restrain him for the time being, especially once there are robbers on the road ahead, I am afraid that it will be dangerous to see a large amount of food and property in the convoy." Can the lady give an order to let the first and second tun stay behind, and the fourth and fifth tun will lead the convoy forward? ”

Before Dong Bai could speak, Dong Wei appeared out of thin air and sat beside Tong Yuan, his eyes revealing a murderous aura.

Hiss, what a sharp feeling, if you use an analogy, Li Zhen feels like a hunting dog that pleases his master, and this Dong Wei is a vicious wolf, flashing handsome fur in the ice and snow, with dark green penetrating eyes.

Dong Wei asked, "You mean, will Bai Mei's party be in danger?" ”

Tong Yuan shook his head and replied, "Whether there are pursuers or not, I can't be sure yet." But as Weiyangjun's helper, I will try my best to make a plan to deal with possible dangers. ”

Dong Wei nodded, discussed with Dong Bai in a low voice for a while, and agreed to Tong Yuan's plan.

Soon, the people of the first and second tun stayed in place, Tong Yuan led the fourth tun to follow, Zhang Ding led the fifth tun to the front, and Hu Cong followed the convoy and set off immediately.

By dawn the next day, the convoy had traveled no less than fifty miles, and on the verdant and steep mountains on both sides stretched a solid wall that swallowed mountains and rivers.

This section of the Great Wall was actually built by the Wei State during the Warring States Period, and was still used to guard against the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty, but it was in disrepair by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it still did not reduce the magnificence of the year. The Great Wall rises from the sky, and a small but thick pass sits in the middle of the road, guarded by ten convoy of retinues.

Tong Yuan eagerly arranged: "This place is very important, it is best to prepare more manpower and beacon fire, a small number of enemy soldiers can light a wolf smoke, the enemy is too strong to burn two, the situation is extremely critical and immediately put three puffs of wolf smoke." ”

"Whoa."

After the convoy had passed the checkpoint for five miles, the horses were all so tired that they had to stop for an hour. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing in front of them, and everyone was stunned.

Wutun and a horse rushed back from the front and shouted loudly, "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is about fifty or sixty masked men, Zhang Ding is leading the fifth tun to engage the enemy and needs support." ”

Dong Bai got out of the car alone, and ordered loudly: "Send thirty people to support, and the convoy should pay attention to defense and guard against the movement ahead." ”

"Hurry up!" A Hu Cong led the team with thirty cavalry to follow, and the cavalry immediately set off.

Tong Yuan calmly thought for a moment, and suddenly his pupils shrank.

He immediately approached Dong Bai, regardless of his identity, approached and whispered: "The situation has changed, I am afraid that Zhang Ding has been killed, and the enemy is going to disperse our forces and annihilate them one by one." ”

"Ah, this ...... Who harmed Zhang Ding? Dong Bai obviously didn't think of this.

Tong Yuan spoke a few words closely, and then said: "The situation is urgent, can I lead the elite subordinates, and the fourth tun will cooperate, now it is only necessary to do so......"

"It's good that I can finally use the weapon my grandfather gave me." Dong Bai couldn't grasp the point and said happily.

At this time, Dong Wei appeared from behind Dong Bai and handed Dong Bai her weapon. Tong Yuan took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaim, isn't this a meteor hammer? I saw that the front end of the weapon was an iron ball with a metallic luster, the size of a football in later generations, and a terrifying metal spike on it. An iron chain was attached to the wooden handle in her hand, both the wooden handle and the iron chain were more than half a meter long, and unless she dodged it with a hammer, even a heavy armor would be smashed and vomit blood to death.

Half an hour later, Li Zhen led the third tun to the pass. The servants guarding the pass hurriedly greeted them and recounted the situation of the enemy ahead. Li Zhen and the others quickly entered the customs, and several of his personal soldiers approached several servants who were guarding here with movements that were difficult for ordinary people to detect, and the team leader of the third team also guarded the key door.

Seeing that the nearly 100 people who followed Li Zhen and them out were nowhere to be seen, a servant couldn't help asking, "Alas, what about Lao Ke and them?" ”

A weird smile leaked from the corner of Li Zhen's mouth: "You'll be able to see them soon!" After saying that, he stabbed Hu Cong in the abdomen.

A group of cronies shouted, "Hurry up! ”

"Kill!"

In an instant, the shouts of hundreds of people resounded throughout the pass.

……

On the other side, nearly 100 well-equipped soldiers in the mountains and forests with blood-stained armor were waiting for something.

"Report! There were shouts of killing at the pass of the Great Wall. ”

A leader who looked like a military official smiled and said: "The military waiting side has succeeded, everyone will go up with me, follow the military waiting for promotion and make a fortune, and dozens of carts of gold and silver can be taken casually!" The one who cuts off the most heads can be the first to enjoy Dong Bai, ah, phew, the first one after the military wait! ”

"Whoa!"

This group of fierce beasts rushed into the convoy in less than a moment, and the coachmen and servants scattered in fright. The berserk soldiers rummaged through the boxes and reversed the carts, searching for money and treasure, but they did not notice that most of the horses in the convoy were gone.

"Ah, how is this empty, and this one is too!?" The first unlucky guy wondered.

"You're unlucky, I rushed to the first car and it was full of gold, hahaha!"

"Give it to me, why can you take gold as a homeless person, and you still learn your sword skills from me."

"What for! Give me back the gold...... Ah, if you hit someone, I will kill you! ”

The military officer who spoke at the beginning shouted: "What a noise! Cutting off people's heads is considered a military achievement, and everyone has a share in gold. Don't hurry up and hunt for it! ”

The soldier who couldn't grab the gold thought to himself, I don't look down on Dong Bai, and I haven't given birth to a baby before Aunt Wang in the next village, so I'll go back to find her when I grab the gold.

With a whoosh, the man fell to the ground silently, and he could only have a tryst with Aunt Wang in the next village next to him in the next life.

"There's an ambush!"

"Kneel and don't kill!" In the first round of hundreds of arrows, more than 20 people were put down, and more than a dozen of them were also pierced into hedgehogs by the second round of salvos, and the rest still had the power to resist.

"This fifth tun Li Zhen's dog is so well equipped, how did it become like this?"

Ambushing in the woods around the convoy were the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Tun and fifty Dong family servants, who had been preparing for a long time after following Tong Yuan's arrangement, and had thought that the well-equipped Fifth Tun would be very difficult to bite, but it turned out to be so easy.

"This one is empty...... Ah, this is also ....... my baby? "A Wutun soldier who was kneeling on the ground ignored the danger and searched among the empty cars, but there was no gold or silver treasure.

"Hey, isn't this Li Dunzi. Let me tell you, except for the five cars in front, the rest of the good things are in us, hahahaha! One of the Fourth Tun team members laughed loudly and shook the armor with gold and jewelry.

The head of Wutuntun, who was hit by an arrow in the stomach, was already weak, and he warned bitterly: "Li Junhou will kill all of you, and you can't escape." ”

Hu Lang'er said loudly: "Let me tell you, Li Zhen is also finished!" ”

Within the pass of the Great Wall, Li Zhen covered his bleeding stomach with his hands, and lay on the ground weakly looking at the smiling young man in front of him. A Hu walked quickly into the checkpoint and shouted: "The fifth tun has been completely annihilated!" ”

Two sticks of incense ago, when Li Zhen stabbed the "defenseless" Hu Cong in the stomach, not only did he not pierce the armor and the iron armor hidden in the abdomen, but he was cut in the leg by Na Cong, and then he was pierced through the abdomen by a shot in the brawl, although he is not dead now, he can only support it for much time.

The rest of the people who followed Li Zhen were instantly surrounded by the 150 Dong Jiahu who had been ambushed, all the rebels were killed, and the rest surrendered on their knees.
