Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tenkyo Chapter 26 Dawn
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu! Big things are wrong! ”
Liu Pu, who was asleep, was woken up, he groggily opened the jade arm around his neck, and said angrily: "What's the matter, it's a big night, let people not sleep." ”
"The spies on the Western Front reported that they had found traces of the march of the Jin Kingdom!"
"Traces are traces, and there are no traces on this border."
"No, Chief Soldier! It is the traces of tens of thousands of troops! ”
"What? Tens? This number made Liu Pu sober up suddenly, only wearing a shirt, and hurriedly got out of bed to open the door, "Has Guo Yi come back?" ”
"Mr. Guo hasn't come back yet...... Our spies said that the army of the Kingdom of Jin also went straight to the west...... Could it be ......?" the soldier who reported the message did not say any more.
Liu Pu didn't answer, but directly gave an order: "Pass the order, let the brothers get up and get ready, and then send a fast horse to deliver the news to Yan Zhucheng." ”
"Yes, Commander!" The man turned and ran out.
Liu Pu closed the door and dressed, the bewitching woman on the bed always went to hold his hand and be coquettish, Liu Pu kicked her on the bed, but the woman was awake by this kick, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and said: "Bastard thing, I'll clean you up when I'm free." With that, he pulled his sleeves and ran out.
After a while, Datong City, which was originally in the dark, brightened up, and Liu Pu approved the armor and took the last 10,000 cavalry of Datong City and went straight to the west.
Don't die. Liu Pu thought silently in his heart.
Guo Yi's large team was almost at the Chishan Pass, but he didn't know why the expected ambush did not appear.
"Will there be no ambushes?" Xu An, who had been tense all the time, saw that the sky was about to dawn and asked.
"At this rate, we'll be at Chishan Pass before dawn. Before dawn, people and livestock are most tired. Guo Yi replied.
"We entered the Jin country, the land is open, and it is difficult for the ambush soldiers of the Jin country to catch us. But if we want to return to Dahan, we will definitely pass through the Chishan Pass. Shuhumu added.
"Five miles ahead, rest for a quarter of an hour first, we are undoubtedly going to give people war exploits in this state." Guo Yi said.
When Xu An heard this, he pulled the reins of the horse and went to give the order later.
Along the way, they really didn't encounter a few teams of soldiers from the Jin Kingdom, and even if they did, they were dozens of lazy patrol teams, and they were instantly overwhelmed by the black torrent. And Hui Twen has already been in a round with his lieutenant, but because of the vast wasteland, he has long not known where to go, and he is getting farther and farther away from Guo Yi's troops.
The team had traveled another five miles, and rested in a back slope, and the corners of the mouths of many of the mounts were already foaming, and the cavalry wiped them away in distress. Mounts are the second life of cavalry.
"Can you still hold on?" Shuhumu asked Guo Yi, who was sitting under the tree.
"Returning to the capital from the western front, I haven't galloped so happily for a long time." Guo Yi looked at the black horse that was grazing with Shuhumu's mount, this black horse was also given by Guo Yi, it seems that it is indeed a good horse, if it weren't for it, tonight, he Guo Yi would probably have fallen behind.
"What's the name of your mount, it can run as fast as the black wolf." Shuhumu asked.
Guo Yi found out that for so long, this dark horse has never had a name. Hearing that Shuhumu's mount was called the Black Wolf, he blurted out: "Night Lion, it's called Night Lion." ”
"Night Lion?" Although Shuhumu didn't take off his armor, he couldn't hide the look of appreciation in his eyes, and said, "It's a good horse." ”
The night lion seemed to like the name, and after Guo Yi said it, he snorted and wagged his tail.
Soon, the team that had fled all night was on the road again, but the team that took the lead was no longer Guo Yi and Shu Humu, and the two quietly mixed into the team.
Although there were only more than 2,000 people left in the team, knowing where the final ambush was, they exuded a terrifying murderous aura.
The Tartars of the Jin Kingdom, kill my brother, take my grain and grass, take their heads, drink their blood, and correct the prestige of my Han army! The anger of learning that he had been chased and killed all night finally had a chance to vent, and the black-armored soldiers were like wolves smelling blood, holding the weapons they had just wiped in their hands, and galloped silently on the wasteland, and on the horizon behind the team, the sun had already revealed a line, and the sky and the earth were like a room with oil lamps and yellow.
The Chishan Pass is not literal, a gap in a mountain peak, but a small low basin where the Han tried to build a fortress several times, considering the ease of ambush. However, the Jin State blocked it several times, and finally the work of building the fortress was not completed, and only some ruins remained.
Vaguely, the Red Mountain Pass could already be seen at the front of the team, and there were faint human heads surging in the ruins.
"Can you tell how many there are?" Shuhumu asked Guo Yi.
"Definitely not much!" Guo Yi replied with a loud shout, but the sound of horses' hooves almost drowned out his voice.
"Brothers, there are not many people in Chishankou, let's rush over in one go, and we can drink in Yinzhou City at noon!"
"Good!" The soldiers responded to Shuhumu's agitation.
Guo Yi was a little speechless, there was such a morale-boosting general, but he vaguely learned something he didn't know.
A "whoosh" sound sounded through the air, and some soldiers in the front row fell to the ground with arrows, but the lethality of bows and arrows for high-speed cavalry was really limited, and after a few waves of arrows rained, the team was missing dozens of people.
"Kill!" The team showed their weapons, and the ambush soldiers who were originally hiding around the Chishan Pass also put down their bows and arrows, pulled the stumbling horses, took out the standard broadswords of the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, and rushed up with a whin.
The ranks scattered in the field, and the cavalry of the Jin army also rushed out of the shadows, and they actually hid in the basin of the Chishan Pass, and from a distance, they could not see a trace.
Guo Yi glanced at it, estimated that there were more than 1,000 people on the enemy's side, swung his sword to cut off an arrow coming at his face, and said loudly: "Fight quickly, kill it!" ”
Shuhu Mu had already returned to the front of the group, one hand was his own broadsword, and the other was the broadsword he had snatched from the golden soldiers. He dismounted and fought on foot, his two swords flew over, and seven or eight Jin soldiers were squeezed down and all of them were cut down by him.
"Be careful!" Xu An kicked up and kicked Shuhumu down, an arrow drilled through the vest he was standing on, Shuhumu was on the ground at any time, turned his head and followed the sound, the Jin soldier was hiding behind a broken wall, and was about to shoot a second arrow, Shuhumu got up suddenly, flew out of the Jin country knife in his hand, and cut off the soldier's neck with a knife.
"It's alright!" Xu An asked, he didn't have time to remind him just now, so he simply kicked Shuhumu to the ground.
"Thank you." Shuhumu said, picked up another big knife of the Jin Kingdom, and killed it into the crowd.
Guo Yi, on the other hand, was more cautious, rode around outside the battle group, and when he saw a sneak attack, he rode over and solved it with two or three knives.
For about half an hour, only a small part of the sun was still hidden below the horizon. Guo Yi rode to a high place and found that there were few soldiers in the Jin Kingdom.
"General Shuhu, the ambush has been cleared, ready to rush in!" As he spoke, he saw the smoke and dust billowing under the sun in the distance, and the pursuers of the Jin Kingdom had arrived! Hui Twen, who disappeared all night, finally found Guo Yi.
"Everyone, get on the horse, and follow me back to the city!" After speaking, Shuhumu whistled, and the black wolf hiding behind the hillside came out, and Shuhumu turned over and rushed into the red mountain pass with the team. Guo Yi also slapped the night lion, followed the back of the team, and rushed into the Chishan Pass.
By the time Hui Twen led his troops to arrive, Guo Yi had already run away, and only the corpses of the two armies were left all over the ground.
"General, this ......," the lieutenant general who had been the first to chase after him asked.
Hui Twen weighed it in his heart, and it was impossible to escape death if he went back like this, so it was better to give it a go! Guo Yi's team galloped all night, and at this moment they have experienced a hard battle, I am afraid that there is not one in ten combat power!
"Chase! The one who beheaded Guo Yi's head was a thousand taels of silver! Hui Twen yelled, and rushed south first.
