Volume 2: Waves Chapter 62: The Fall
In the Tiankai Hangu Zhuang Pass, the dust of eternity is in the north sky.
The road to the entrance of the army is Hangu Pass, which guards the throat of Kuohan, connects Hengling in the west, borders the Jiejian in the east, follows the Qinling Mountains in the south, borders the Yellow River in the north, the terrain is dangerous, the road is narrow, the car is not square, the horse is not parallel, and the march is difficult.
Since the establishment of the Qin State, it is also known as the Xiongguan Dangerous Pass.
One husband should be closed, and ten thousand people can't be opened!
Yang Zhiji, the commander of Hongnong County, was stationed at Hangu Pass for a long time.
Yang Zhiji is the nephew of Emperor Yang Kai, the cousin of the current Sui Emperor Yang Guang, and the title of King Cai.
King Cai and King Guan often guard the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, and Yang Zhiji has been even more cautious since Yang Guang ascended the throne, and even his son only dared to teach the "Three Character Classic" when he read, for fear of causing death.
Therefore, when Yang Xuangan raised troops, he ignored the royal status of Sui Yang and immediately secretly sent someone to offer his service.
I think about it day and night, but now what I am waiting for is the defeated army, whether it is war or surrender? It's hard to make up your mind.
Between the dilemma of integrity, there is a clerk in the pass, Pegasus reports.
Yang Zhiji looked at it, sighed in his heart, made a decision, and summoned his subordinates to say: "Yang Xuangan's army is coming, and he wants to go west to Guanzhong." If its plan succeeds, then the Great Sui River will be ruined. In order to do so today, it is necessary to block it from moving forward. Within three days, General Yuwen arrived, and the traitor could catch himself. ”
Because it is secretly strengthening the defense and combat readiness, the intention of the effect remains unchanged on the surface.
In the next battle of Beibi Mountain, Wei Wensheng's Tiger Ben army was defeated, and the 20,000 elite soldiers of Qu Tutong's department were still chasing after him, hanging far behind like a hungry wolf.
Gao Si became the deputy marshal of the Chu army, leading the rear army of 20,000 to resist the enemy.
Yang Xuangan regained his spirits and marched towards Hangu Pass with the self-unified army.
The affairs of the monarchs are complicated, Gao Si has just returned from patrolling, and the new guard commander He Chang said: "General, you are back, and there is a fellow villager warrior to recommend." ”
Gao Si put his sword on the shore and said, "Where can I get a warrior?" Beckoning to see. ”
He Chang said: "This person's surname is Wang, his name is Boren, and he is my fellow countryman in Bianzhou." In his early years, he lived in Hebei, and he had ten thousand divine powers, but because no one appreciated him, he was down. ”
Gao Si came to be interested, and at the time of the war, he was in need of warriors, and Chang He was also capable, so he happily summoned him.
Before he could do so, a strange-looking man walked into the camp, with swallow-jawed and tiger whiskers, and had the temperament of a military general.
Gao Si said flatly: "You are the Wang Boren who he often recommends?" ”
Wang Boren hummed: "It's a certain family." ”
"The strong man took the initiative to vote, what position do you want to live? For the sake of He Chang's face, as long as he has the ability, he will never be stingy with his official position. ”
"If you want to be the commander of a battalion, you will have wine and meat."
He was often introduced on the side, and shouted: "Lao Wang! You are a newcomer, how can you be so presumptuous, quickly make amends to the general! His voice was powerful, but a little angry.
This Wang Boren looked at how much strength he had, why did he not know how to advance or retreat.
Wang Boren was underestimated, his face turned red with anger, and he still said stubbornly: "I either become a general or don't do it!" ”
Gao Si laughed and said, "The strong man is really temperamental. It's just that the army has its own laws, and those who have not made great contributions are not allowed to be generals. ”
Seeing that Wang Boren was about to leave, he immediately stopped, smiled, and solemnly admonished.
"The strong man knows that our army marches into Guanzhong, and if it is not victorious, it will die! The situation is difficult, and it is the time for the general to show his might. But if you join at this time, you need to fight for your life in the sea of swords and fires! ”
Wang Boren's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said categorically: "Fame is only taken right away." What's more, the whole family died because of the harsh government of a certain person, and a certain person has long wanted to oppose his mother! ”
Collapsing and collapsing, the muscles and bones of his fists clenched in unison, Wang Boren continued: "If the general believes me, it is from the army, and a certain can kill back and forth!"
However, can you have a meal first, I, I'm hungry,,,,。 ”
As soon as the bold words fell, this rough stomach gurgled, and his heroic spirit plummeted.
Gao Si smiled: "If you can eat, you can fight." It's okay, bring the wine and meat. ”
He Chang spat and felt embarrassed, but he still ordered the guards, and soon brought a cooked leg of lamb and a pot of spirits.
Wang Boren didn't care about anything else, and immediately devoured it.
Gao Si looked up at the outside of the tent and said, "After you are full, go down with He Chang to get a suit of armor." Used on the battlefield. He couldn't worry about his two wives, so he flashed out and went to the back camp for a private meeting.
In the account, He Chang said angrily: "Wang Fubao, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending?" Even if you report a fake name, it's so rude! ”
The big man called Wang Boren poured a sip of liquor again, and then he smiled and said, "Chang, I won't tell you a secret." If I can lead an army of 100,000, it will be enough to run rampant in the world. Since you have such a high opinion of this general, you will try him. If you want to be the lord of the king, you have to see if he has the ability. ”
Wang Fubao, the word Boren, was born in Bianzhou, grew up in Linzhang, twenty years old, and had to be taught the art of war without martial arts. If you meet the master, you can bring 100,000 soldiers and run rampant all over the world. ”
Wang Fubao called himself "Wang 100,000." ”
Black clouds are coming, and heavy rain is coming.
Under the guidance of Yang Gongdao, Yang Xuangan led the army and came to the gate to call the door.
"Uncle Zhiji? Uncle Zhiji? Yang Gongdao changed loudly.
The gate slowly opened, Yang Zhiji appeared on the city, and a group of defenders appeared on the city.
Yang Gongdao stepped forward happily, but Yang Xuanjian suddenly felt a stirring and yelled: "Be careful! ”
An order has been handed down from the city: "Let go!" ”
Buzzing, ten thousand arrows fired in unison, shooting Yang Gongdao on the spot.
There were also ambushes on the cliffs of the valleys on both sides, and rolling stones, sassal wood, and fireballs were smashed down one after another.
In front of the pass, Yuwen Chengdu rode out with a phoenix winged gilt boring horse, and shouted: "Yang Xuangan, a certain person has come to take your head!" ”
The 30,000 troops of the Chu army were suddenly trapped in the narrow Hangu Road, and a large number of soldiers were killed at every moment.
After Yang Xuan was shocked, he calmed down and instructed his entourage: "Go to the rear army to inform Jishan and rush out at all costs." Tell Chongde that the Yang family handed it over to him! ”
Yuwen Chengdu waited for work and launched a fierce battle with Yang Xuangan.
The flowers of killing bloomed one after another, under the Hangu Pass, swords came and went, and the entire battlefield was filled with a tragic atmosphere, tens of thousands of Chu troops could not advance or retreat, and became fish and meat slaughtered on the chopping board, and the casualties gradually increased.
On the ninth day of August, in the afternoon, it rained heavily.
Because there were thousands of wounded soldiers and many female dependents among the 20,000 horses in the rear camp, Gao Si ordered a pause to rest and set up a tent to shelter from the rain.
The treetops in the distance fluctuate with the wind, and the wind gusts in the valley.
Houying is still seven or eight miles away from Hanguguan Narrow Long Valley Road.
Yang Jishan let the blood stain his trouser legs, running desperately, he escaped from the mountain, and had only one thought, to tell Houying as soon as possible, that Hangu Guan had changed, and that the eldest brother had encountered an accident.
"It's all out of the way, I'm Yang Jishan, I want to see Gao Chongde." Yang Jishanfu shouted as soon as he ran to the camp.
"What's the noise!" Gao Si rushed from the back camp to hear the news, and Yang Min, Xu Xiaohui and Wei Qi and their three daughters also hurriedly followed, and soon arrived in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Gao Si looked intently, and when he saw Yang Jishan's appearance, he knew if it was wrong, and immediately asked.
"Chongde, Hongnong is too guarded by Yang Zhiji, the old thief broke his word, and the eldest brother was killed! Besides, Yuwen Chengdu also came to intercept with a large army from Guanzhong, we, we have no way out,,,。 After Yang Jishan finished speaking, he cried, full of panic, and it was clear that he had lost his heart.
"What are you crying about, shut up!" Gao Si shouted angrily.
"Cowards need to vent with crying, and the battlefield doesn't believe in tears! Amin, go fetch water and wash the fourth brother's face. Let him eat something and slow down, the big war is still to come. ”
"Go and call Wang Boren to me!" Gao Si first instructed Chang He.
Then he instructed Zhang Huoling to order the generals to come to the Chinese army to discuss matters.
When Wang Boren returned to the big tent, he saw several people who were obviously officers, standing in two columns, each of them covered with blood.
This atmosphere suddenly suffocated the originally unruly Wang Boren, after all, he had not yet undergone the baptism of war.
Han Shi'e narrowed his eyes and stared at Wang Boren, this similar aura surprised him in his heart, the unfamiliar face that he hadn't noticed seemed to have the same potential as himself.
He is familiar with the battle formation, and naturally knows the potential of the general very well, and as soon as he looks at it, he knows that this is another general's blank.
The matter is urgent!
Gao Si directly ordered: "
Han Shi'e led 5,000 troops to meet the Sui army killed at Hangu Pass.
Wang Boren, as Yang Minxing's deputy general, led 3,000 troops to ambush outside the Hangu Pass, and after the battle began, he cut off the retreat of the official army. He himself followed with the main force.
Yang Min angrily accepted the order, and Wang Boren also left excitedly.
In Han Shi'e's heart, he suddenly changed his opinion, and he was happy when he heard the battle, this person will not die, and he will be a general in the future.
He turned over his horse and marched with 5,000 soldiers and horses, but as soon as he arrived at Hangu Pass, he saw the extremely tragic scene.
The heads of the dead Chu soldiers were piled up into a Jingguan.
The unwilling eyes were still full of confusion and longing, which was the desire to survive. Looking at this situation, these Chu soldiers were all beheaded by the officers and soldiers after surrendering.
Even if he was killing people like hemp, Han Shi'e, who had always been brave, took a deep breath, stopped his steps, and unfolded the army.
There is a vast bamboo forest outside the gate.
On the slightly higher and gentle mound, Yuwen Chengdu was examining Yang Xuangan's head, surrounded by pro-soldiers.
Of course, as long as you look at it at a glance, the arrogant expression of the Tianbao General has a certain smug and cold aura.
"Captain Ma Yuan, Xiaoguo Wei Yongyi, meet your lordship." Ma Yuan bowed his head and bowed.
Two rows of pro-soldiers, as well as more than a dozen generals, looked at each other, all full of anticipation and waiting for the new military situation.
Yuwen Chengdu's face was solemn, his eyes swept at Ma Yuan, and after a while, he was cold: "Ma Yuan, have you found out the traces of the remnants of the Chu army?"
Ma Yuan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and said excitedly: "General, the commander of the rear camp of the Chu army will be Gao Chongde, and he is rushing towards this side. ”
Seeing that he answered smoothly, Yuwen Chengdu threw down Yang Xuangan's head, and his face softened slightly: "Ma Yuan, you lead the cavalry, prepare to set off, today's big victory, Gao Chongde has not reacted yet, maybe he is preparing to rescue his eldest brother." We're going to surprise them. Yu Wenyi, you straighten out the other soldiers and horses, and then you will go out with me to the army, and you will completely exterminate Yang Suyu's sins! ”
The generals glanced at each other, lined up in unison, and responded: "No! ”
Han Shi'e looked at the corpses of the Chu soldiers who died in battle, most of the corpses had been beheaded, and the flesh and blood were blurred, which was really difficult to identify.
Anger rose in his heart, and he summoned a herald who accompanied the army, and gave the order: "Beat the drums and march!" ”
On the other side of the mountain road, Wang Boren laughed cruelly and led the army towards the rear of the battle.
The war is back!
