But all the passes, basically have a common characteristic:

Narrow pass.

The terrain is pressing, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and no matter how many enemy troops there are, they can't open their positions, so as long as they have hard legs and stomachs, they don't need famous generals, and they can be held solid.

The worst is that it can be held until reinforcements arrive.

Throughout the ages, it has been blocked by a pass, and those who have been defeated and defeated do not know how many.

However, such a battle is generally difficult to go down in history, because it is a dangerous pass, so it is necessary to hold it, and it is rare to be breached, and the victorious side will generally leave a strong mark.

The battle between the Great Earthquake Pass and the Yellow Cow Village started almost at the same time.

Li Danqi rushed from Qinzhou to the Great Earthquake Pass, and only brought 2,000 reinforcements, but because the pass was narrow, it was useless to have more soldiers. However, there were 500 jars of wine in a cart, and countless dried meat and salted fish.

He came to drink, sitting on the arrow stack at the highest point in the city, a plate of peanuts, a piece of jerky, a gourd wine, from time to time to take a sip, touch the bare head at every turn, the green and bright back of the head, really tattooed a tiger head, and the appearance on the military flag is the same.

This made him look even more fierce, and even when the guards were closed, Nen had to avoid him.

However, there are also thick-skinned ones, who dare to ask the general for a drink, he raised the gourd high, the soldier tilted his head, took a full mouthful, and before he swallowed it in his mouth, he heard the sound of the rolling word, and immediately laughed and ran away.

Outside the gate, the Song army was at the base of the fortification, more than half of the people were covered by large oars, and those in charge of civil engineering operations were a little panicked, and closer to the place, there were dozens of corpses lying down, one of them, wearing general armor, with a crossbow bolt stuck in the middle of his head.

Two hundred steps, the limit of the artillery cart throwing, but within the effective range of the enemy's crossbow, the unlucky Song general happened to give the Qin soldier marksman a sacrificial crossbow.

It's a pity that this crossbow is not standard, there are only thirty bodies, and when I received it, I also signed a military order that the crossbow was in the person, and the crossbow was destroyed, and the crossbowman was the best of the best, all of them were loyal and honest, and strictly disciplined.

If all the crossbowmen were fully equipped with this thing, how would the pseudo-Song dare to show his face again.

Unfortunately, this can only be thought about.

Two screams rang out from the hill to the south, and he only glanced up before continuing to drink.

In battle, whether offensive or defensive, the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous is always the scout. The war has only begun now, but the confrontation between the scouts has not been interrupted since the end of the previous year.

Spying and blocking, the most elite soldiers on both sides launched their own efforts, in the dense forest, in the precipice, sneak attack and counter-sneak attack, with their own blood to burn the bayonet spear and shield.

They, for the most part, are unsung heroes.

Li Danqi poured a sip of liquor on his neck, stretched out his hand to raise the pot, and saluted from afar on the South Mountain, and what responded to him was the ups and downs of the blue waves.

……

However, the scalper village has started a crossbow battle, which is a battle of marksmen.

The Qin army relied on forts, traps, guns and rolling stones to form a pocket-like defensive array, and the Song army had to sweep away a few obstructive forts and docks if they wanted to set up artillery trucks, so the battle began with shooting.

The Qin army had a dock fort, while the Song army pushed an eight-foot-high, four-foot-wide three-legged oar wall to cover it, and the two sides fired at each other for a long time, but they did not lose a few people, but thousands of crossbow arrows were wasted.

Shooting until dusk, the Song army returned in vain, but Liu Qiang, who had been watching the battle from a high place, tightened his brows when he returned to the village.

"Our army's defense is impregnable, why is the general still worried?"

"Well, oh, can you find out what Song Jun is preparing?"

"We waited to defend the village, but we couldn't see the movements of the Song army's rear camp."

Liu Qiang kicked a stone in front of his feet and scolded: "He's damn it, they're tying fireballs, and it's estimated that they will use trebuchets to throw fireballs tomorrow to attack." ”

Deputy General Nian Chao said with a smile: "We are a stone village, what's the use of him throwing fireballs." ”

"Smoke is drunk, and if we get dirty, and our crossbowmen are drunk for a day, then the eyes will be wasted."

"Ah, that's not going to work, what are we going to do?"

Liu Qiang played with the black tassel in his hand, thought about it and said: "He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, wait for a shower, and discuss it together." ”

"No."

Liu Qiang patted Nian Chao's shoulder, turned around and was about to leave, when a long newspaper sounded behind him: "Report...... General Shi personally led his troops to reinforce and had arrived ten miles from the back village, ordering the village to prepare food for 2,000 people. ”

Liu Qiang was stunned: "General Shi came to help in person?" Why did you arrive so late? ”

"It is good to teach General Liu to know that Mu Shu led the army on a blind date and has passed the Sanquan Pass, and the vanguard made General A arrive in Xingzhou first, General Shi learned the news this morning, and immediately changed his strategy and came to Huangniuzhai to command."

Liu Qiang grabbed Xunbing's arm and said excitedly: "Uncle Huzi is here, isn't it, great, Nian Chao, you go and arrange a meal, be hearty, and go to meet General Shi." ”

"No."

Liu Qiang couldn't wait for the guards to prepare the horses, so he pulled a war horse at the gate and galloped away.

Fengzhou general Shi Tingjing, the first to be the Marquis of Du Yu under Jiayin, has not had a chance to show his military strategy in the past two years, but his ability to do so is extremely good, but in this regard, he has to thank Jiayin for the hand-shaking shopkeeper, Shi Tingjing is doing it in the position of the Marquis of Duyu, and he has made great prestige, not only Liu Qiang is convinced, but even Zhao Wenliang's little rooster is willing to be his deputy.

Seeing Liu Qiang running to greet him in person, Shi Tingjing scolded with a smile, and then smiled: "It's up to you to meet the enemy, and if you come, it's just to support you." ”

Liu Qiang said with a smile: "Thank you general, don't worry about it, the last general can fight bravely to kill the enemy, General Shi, but please rest assured, the Song army can't pass the cattle village." ”

Shi Tingjing smiled and motioned to lead the way, a young man is a young man after all, and the joy of relief has betrayed his heart, and the pressure on him during this time is not ordinary.

Although he is very optimistic about this young man, and he also believes in His Majesty's vision of choosing people, but after all, he is young, and the temperament of a general who is not as immobile as a mountain has not yet been cultivated.

Fearless, fearless, invincible.

But he didn't expect that the fearless guy began to be afraid.

The reason is even more unexpected, and the cause is actually because of snoring.

Gu Minglou has been sick since that day's idle chatting, and he has been paying attention to it every night along the way, but his husband has slept very deeply and fragrantly, whether he is staying in the city or staying in Yeci at night, but his breathing has been calm and long.

At first, I thought he was not tired, but all the way to Xingzhou, the solid fireworks beasts were a little unbearable, but Fujun still didn't snore.

This made Gu Minglou a little anxious, and he couldn't help but ask him that night: "Why don't you snore." ”

"Oh, I didn't snore, ha, it's okay now, no one rolls my eyes."

"No, I mean you call me up."

"Ah...... Whew......"

Gu Minglou pushed him and said angrily: "Who asked you to pretend, I want you to fall asleep and snore." ”

Jiayin Zhangji was puzzled, and asked in surprise: "What's so nice about snoring, by the way, I seem to have fought before, and I was smothered by Jiulang on the pillow when I was marching." ”

Gu Minglou was aggrieved, and said with a flat mouth: "But with me, why don't you fight." ”

Jia Yin was even more depressed, hugged her little waist and smiled: "This is really weird, how good it is not to snore, Qi Niang thinks I am noisy every time." ”

Gu Minglou's eyes turned red, and Jia Yin immediately surrendered: "Hey, hey, I must fight tonight, come, let's vent our hatred, shake the bed, and make sure that there is an earth-shattering sound of snoring." ”

“……”

The bed was squeaking and squeaking, but in the dead of night, Gu Minglou woke up and listened attentively, only the summer insects outside the house were chirping, and the husband who pillowed into his arms was sleeping sweetly, but the sound of breathing was leisurely, thin and steady, how could there be a little snoring.

Gu Minglou stroked her husband's hair and lost sleep again.
