Chapter 337: Sulfur Gas

"Among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, there are people who have such righteousness and such strategies, but I am afraid that there is only one champion. Champion Wen, Champion Wen, your courage is commendable, but it is really unthinkable. If you cut off Dong Zhuo's back road, you are undoubtedly looking for death. For moving the capital, Dong Zhuoshi is bound to win.

And in order to prevent Dong Zhuo from moving the capital, so as not to destroy Dong Zhuo's life, and put life and death aside, it is indeed worthy of admiration. But it's just admiration, in order to save his life, and dozens of lives of the Jia family, Xu had to fight with you this time. ”

After Li Xuan left, Jia Xu opened his eyes, and immediately some regret welled up on his face, and he muttered.

And on the other side, Tong closed.

"Report! At the foot of the mountain, a large army was encamped, numbering about forty or fifty thousand people! ”

"yes, I see. Pass the order down, so that all the soldiers are ready, the enemy army may come to attack at any time. Let them all wake me up! ”

"Yes!"

After Wen Han and a soldier gave the order, although they were calm on the surface, there were thousands of waves in their hearts, and the expression on their faces became deeper and deeper.

"Fifty thousand, Dong Zhuo actually sent so many soldiers and horses!"

Now in Tongguan, Wen Han's soldiers and horses are only more than 7,000 people, and the enemy army is 50,000, nearly six times more than his soldiers and horses!

"I don't have to think about it, I can do everything. The rest depends on the number of days. ”

Wen Han muttered in a low voice, and then his eyes turned bright. As the head of the first army, he must be excited, otherwise they are already at a disadvantage, and the Tongguan guarded by them will be like a thin ice, which will be broken by the 50,000 troops of Liangzhou.

When night falls, the mountains around Tongguan are filled with a terrifying and eerie atmosphere. In the Dazhai at the foot of Tongguan Mountain, a group of Liangzhou soldiers and horses rushed out violently and rushed to the top of the mountain.

Several cavalry teams on the mountainside, hearing the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves and footsteps at the foot of the mountain, suddenly all of them were extremely heavy, and several young generals quickly exchanged glances, and then nodded heavily at the same time, leading their respective teams to gallop, igniting piles of straw all over the mountain road.

One after another, the flames burst into flames on the ignited straws, and in these straws, a lot of sulfur was put in. A cloud of yellow smoke quickly spread, soon enveloping the mountains within a two-mile radius.

Li Xun left 5,000 Liangzhou soldiers to guard the camp, and the rest of the soldiers and horses went out with him, and the 45,000 people seemed to have broken the mountain road.

Suddenly, a stream of yellow smoke hit, Li Xuan was startled, and then saw that there was a lot of fire around the yellow smoke, and he didn't know what tricks the soldiers and horses who had seized Tongguan were doing.

Li Xu set his eyes on Jia Xu, who squinted his eyes and seemed to be thinking. At this time, Guo Yan, who was next to Li Xuan, opened his mouth to urge.

"General Li, why did you suddenly stop! At present, time is pressing, and it has taken me two days to rush to Tongguan, and now there are only three days left to capture Tongguan. Within three days, if we can't break through Tongguan, you and I, including these 50,000 Liangzhou children, will lose our heads! ”

Guo Yan's urging immediately caused many soldiers to respond, Li Yan was urged impatient, and seeing that the yellow smoke was not threatening, he waved his hand, threw up his horsewhip and continued to lead the army towards the mountain road.

At this time, on Tongguan, Guan Wenxu and more than 7,000 soldiers under his command all had a wet towel tied to their mouths, although the yellow smoke rarely affected at the juncture, but just in case, the wind direction suddenly changed, Wen Han still ordered all of them to be tied with wet wipes, which can reduce the amount of sulfur gas inhaled.

Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves, footsteps, and shouts of killing came from the Liangzhou army, which became louder and louder, and Wen Han had vaguely seen the Liangzhou cavalry team rushing ahead in the yellow smoke screen.

"Rolling Log !!"

Wen Han pulled out the sword at his waist and swung it down, and the sergeants around him immediately burst into a violent cry and threw the logs at his feet from the juncture.

Bang! Bang! Bang bang~!!

Logs followed the downward trajectory and rolled missiles down the mountain trail at great speed. The Liangzhou cavalry team that rushed to the front suddenly heard a violent noise coming from the upper road, and they were all frightened, and the yellow mist was all around them, and it was difficult for them to see what kind of object was coming from the upper road.

"Ah~!! Get out of the way!! It's a rolling log!! A lot of rolling logs!! ”

It wasn't until these rolling logs flew in front of their eyes that they were shocked to discover the true appearance of these unknown objects, and at the same time as they shouted in shock, there was a loud bang, only to see a log violently hit the body of countless Liangzhou cavalry or their sitting horses, and suddenly the people and horses that were knocked into the air flew back uncontrollably, and knocked over many people.

And as the logs continued to collide, the Liangzhou cavalry in front of them crashed into all directions, either flying down the mountain, or falling down the mountain road. There was chaos in front of the Liangzhou army, and Li Xuan and Guo Yan were frightened, and they shouted again and again to stabilize the formation.

Nearly hundreds of logs were all thrown from Tongguan by Wen Han's soldiers and horses in the time of half a pillar of incense. Wen Han listened to the terrible and tragic roar below, his face was cold, and he waved his sword again, signaling all soldiers and horses to prepare big stones.

And Li Qi and Guo Yan finally suppressed the chaos of the army and continued to attack, and just when they were about to see the wall of Tongguan, a sound sounded on Tongguan, which made both of them a terrifying order.

"Falling !!"

Wen Han Ling Ran drank it, and then one by one the boulders were thrown out in the hands of the soldiers under Wen Han's command. It was a roaring sound again, the Liangzhou army was frightened, and then encountered countless rushing rocks, frightened to the soul, the Liangzhou sergeant who rushed in front wanted to dodge, but was shocked to find that his whole body was as heavy as a mountain, his whole body was weak, and he was dizzy, and there seemed to be a hot fire in his stomach constantly rolling.

Thundered!!

The falling rocks are getting closer and closer, but the Liangzhou sergeants in front of these falling rocks don't know how to dodge, and they are hit by the falling rocks one after another, crashing into the crowd behind. However, the situation of fatigue and dizziness is not only the Liangzhou soldiers and horses in front, but also the Liangzhou soldiers and horses behind. They looked at the flying human stones, but they couldn't do it with the strength to dodge, and even if a small number of people sent out their strength, they couldn't avoid it.

The army of Liangzhou became more and more chaotic, and the sound of the boulder cracking continued to roar. Jia Xu, who was at the back of the army, had a cold face, and he had already guessed that the phenomenon of the Liangzhou army's sluggishness and weakness must be related to the yellow smoke.

"I can't imagine that the champion of Wen, who usually has an upright style, will also use poison. It seems that this time, he also knows that he is in the realm of death! ”

Jia Xu thought quickly in his mind, and then called a herald, and after a few quick instructions, he asked him to inform Li Xu.

The herald ran rapidly in the chaos of the army, and soon rushed to Li Xuan's side, reporting.

"General Lee! Mr. Jia said that this yellow smoke is poisonous! Now the soldiers are tired, sluggish, vomiting, if you attack rashly, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to capture Tongguan, but also will suffer heavy casualties! Therefore, Mr. Jia suggested that he should withdraw from the army for the time being, and then come to tackle the problem after he came up with a countermeasure! ”

"Fuck shit!! This road was full of rolling logs and falling rocks, and we lost nearly thousands of soldiers and horses before rushing to the bottom of Tongguan! Now this Jia Xu's sentence will make me wait to retreat without a fight? Who does he think he is!! Lord Sangkoku?! Does he know what a military order is? The military order is that once you can't complete the task, you have to cut off your own head! Every minute is crucial for us now, and I don't have time to wait for him to think about what to do! ”

Guo Yan, who was hit by a lot of rubble just now, stood up in annoyance, ready to give the order to charge, but before he could say anything, he heard the herald next to him say that Jia Xu wanted them to retreat, and suddenly the anger in his stomach gushed out.

"General Guo is right! Now everyone is carrying a military order, and not a minute or a second can be wasted, anyway, it is a death horizontally and vertically, so it is better to give it a go! ”

"yes!! We have tens of thousands of troops here, even if we are poisoned, one person and a mouthful of saliva can drown the defenders of Tongguan!! ”

The two lieutenants who had a lot of military rank on the side shouted together, and Li urged him to listen, and his expression was cloudy and uncertain for a while. Jia Xu is not missing, there must be a reason why he wants to withdraw his troops. But Li Xuan himself also had the same idea as Guo Yan and others, and wanted to give it a go.

"That's enough, shut up for me! When you went back and told Jia Sima, you said that the soldiers were united and wanted to break through Tongguan, and they did not want to retreat without a fight. The wishes of the people cannot be violated, I have decided to give it a go with the soldiers! ”

As soon as Li Xuan's voice fell, the other surrounding Liangzhou soldiers suddenly raised their arms and shouted. Li urged to see that the morale of the army was like a rainbow, and the fighting spirit was extremely high, and he was a little fixed in his heart, raised his gun in his hand, and led the army to rush towards Tongguan.

And on Tongguan, Wen Han and more than 7,000 righteous soldiers have already been prepared, and the arrows of one by one are aiming at the distance, and as the Liangzhou soldiers rush into sight, these arrows are moving their bodies.

"Shoot!!"

Guan Yu and Xu Huang stood around the juncture, Wen Han stood in the center, and the three of them gave orders almost at the same time, and at the juncture, countless arrows suddenly flew up. One by one, the arrows flew and swept up gusts of wind, scattering the yellow smoke all over the world, and the arrows broke through the air, and the Liangzhou army that was struggling to rush in, the toxins on their bodies were at their strongest, and they had exhausted their mental and physical strength, so how could they have the energy to avoid it at this time.

These Liangzhou troops were like immovable targets, allowing the more than 7,000 righteous soldiers at the juncture to shoot and kill at will, and the screams and arrows broke into the body.

Bodies full of arrows fell, and then there were people who rushed forward and followed them, and then they were swallowed up by a rain of arrows.

Whether it is Wen Han's righteous soldiers and horses or the Liangzhou sergeant opposite, they are all hideous and crazy, and the two parties have reached the point of life and death, there is no affection to talk about, and there is no sympathy. Only by killing and repelling the opponent's soldiers and horses can they survive and survive.

Although the Liangzhou sergeant encountered a continuous arrow tide attack like a storm, but its number was too much, and Li urged this time also brought a lot of sword and shield soldiers, under Tongguan, several huge shield walls are constantly advancing, and at the same time behind the shield wall, there are a lot of Liangzhou archers, are constantly shooting arrows towards Tongguan, but it is a pity that these Liangzhou archers inhaled excessive sulfur, weak, many of the arrows shot out have not yet reached the pass, that is, they fell to the ground. On the other side, the enemy's arrows were fierce, and many shields in the hands of sword and shield men were thrown away.

Li Xuan secretly observed the battle situation, and only then did he understand why Jia Xu wanted him to withdraw from the army. As time passed, the toxins in the bodies of these soldiers seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, and the phenomenon of fatigue and sluggishness became more and more serious.

Li Xuan's face was so dark that he was about to drip water, and the two soldiers and horses that had broken through to the Tongguan gate just now were about to break the door, when suddenly several burning arrows shot out, hitting several piles of straw by the gate, and suddenly dozens of extremely strong yellow smoke surged, and soon after the two soldiers and horses were swallowed by the yellow smoke, they fainted and fell to the ground.

In this way, let alone breaking the pass, even the gate of this pass is difficult to approach. Moreover, Li Xuan didn't know how long the yellow smoke could burn, and the poisoning of his subordinates was getting more and more serious, on the contrary, the defenders at the juncture, although the momentum of the attack also weakened as the yellow smoke rose to the pass, but it was several times more fierce than his subordinates.
