Gao Que.

The Gaoque Pass city wall is built according to the mountain terrain, and there is a wide mountain road with a short distance from the open grassland. These trails were now covered with improvised defenses.

The Xiongnu soldiers who stayed in Gaoque were the subordinates of the Right Xian King, and they ran all the way from the headquarters of the Right Xian King in the desert to here, and experienced a whole day of great battles, plus the construction of those fortifications, the soldiers were already exhausted. After the fifth watch, even if they were fighting spirits, many soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, and their eyelids were heavy.

These soldiers naturally remembered the instructions of the princess Yi Xue'er before leaving, to guard against a sneak attack by the Han army. But considering that the outside of the city was full of open and dark sentinels, and the rangers were everywhere, these soldiers were not particularly worried. If the Han army came to sneak attack, it would be discovered before the pass. With the cooperation of this reason, many dozing soldiers slept peacefully.

"Uma, what are you doing?" A centurion saw a soldier's head beside him little by little, and he scolded him.

"No, I didn't do much." Uma straightened up and smiled awkwardly at the centurion.

"Don't doze off, if the Han army attacks, your little life will be lost!" The centurion lectured.

Umagan laughed twice, and the centurion in front of him didn't seem to be very angry, so he asked tentatively, "Centurion, did you say that the Han army will come tonight?" ”

"How do I know?" The centurion said impatiently, and after speaking, he taught him a lesson: "You have to show me if you come or not, don't talk so much nonsense!" If the Han army comes to sneak attack, just our people, everyone won't want to go back to the grassland! ”

Uma hurriedly answered twice, but said in his heart: "It's strange that the Han army can come." ”

Suddenly, a flash of fire flashed on the flat ground not far away. Then, a terrible warning sounded in the darkness.

The Hun soldiers along the way suddenly woke up, took out their horns one after another, and blew them.

Just before their horns fell, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves sounded outside, and countless beating fire points spread all over the mountains, distributed over a width of several kilometers, rushing towards Gaoque.

"This ...... How many people are there? When Uma saw the fire outside, he couldn't help but lose his voice and nervously asked the centurion beside him, "Centurion, what should I do?" ”

When he asked this, Uma noticed that the centurion in front of him had an even uglier face than herself.

In the tent of the camp, countless Hun soldiers rushed out when they heard the warning sound, grabbed their weapons and rushed out. Shouting sounded in all directions, and he hurried to the front of the camp.

But before they could line up in formation, tens of thousands of Han cavalry had already arrived in front of the mountain, and the speed was extremely fast.

"Where is this sneak attack, and the sneak attack is running so fast and so loudly? This is clearly a strong attack! Looking at the Han army that had arrived under the city in an instant, the corners of the centurion's mouth trembled.

Although a sneak attack in the dark night is a good method, it is not suitable for Gao Que, because the army is coming from behind Gao Que, and Gao Que naturally does not build a wall behind him, so their rangers and sentries are placed very far away, if they sneak attack, it will take a lot of time to solve those ranger sentries in the dark night, and there is no guarantee that they will not be discovered.

Therefore, Wei Qing decided to cut through the chaos quickly, rushed directly to Gaoque, won with speed, and took advantage of the cover of the night to kill the Hun defenders on Gaoque by surprise when they had not yet reacted.

The simple fortifications arranged by the Hun soldiers were washed away one after another by Wei Qingling, and the cavalry who rushed to the front began to dismount, waving a long knife and rushing forward, and the sergeants behind couldn't squeeze for a while, so they desperately shouted to create momentum, and countless torches were thrown out of the Han army crowd and thrown into the Xiongnu fortifications and military formations.

"Kill, don't leave a single one!" Wei Qing took the lead in the charge, he knew that time was pressing, and the more time he spent here, the more danger it would be for Qin City.

"Kill me, rush!" It was completely as if regardless of the cost, the Han army in front fell under the bows and arrows of the Hun soldiers, and immediately the sergeants behind made up for it, and almost everyone was red-eyed.

Every Han army here knew what kind of sacrifice the hussar battalion was making, and in order to boost morale, Wei Qing also repeated Qin Cheng's words before leaving to everyone almost word for word, which played a great role in stimulating the murderous spirit of the soldiers. At this time, the Han army was completely like a tiger descending from the mountain, and it was not afraid of death.

Wei Qing just wiped out the head of a Hun who rushed in front of him with a knife, and before he could rush out two steps, he felt a shock in his left shoulder, and easily took the lives of the two Hun sergeants next to him.

"General!"

"Protect the General!"

Seeing this, the personal soldiers who followed Wei Qing hurriedly escorted him and helped him kill the Hun soldiers who rushed to the side.

"What are you doing to protect me? Kill it! Wei Qing shouted, the long knife was cushioned under the arrow shaft, the arrow shaft was broken, and he threw it down, and then rushed forward again.

"Quick, keep up!" Wei Qing's pro-soldier team was shouting, beckoning all the pro-soldiers to follow Wei Qing's footsteps.

Behind them, countless Han troops followed in a tidal wave, drowning one after another, groups after groups of Hun soldiers.

"In one hour, Gao Que must be taken!" When a large area of Han troops was shot down by the Hun defenders in a rain of arrows taking advantage of the terrain, Wei Qing stuck to the mountain next to the mountain road and shouted to the sergeant behind him, "Archer, cover!" ”

A group of archers came up from behind, and under the cover of a few wooden shields, began to take turns firing at the Hun defenders opposite.

"General!" Taking advantage of this gap, the pro-soldier team was about to come over to bandage Wei Qing's wound on his left shoulder, Wei Qing pushed him away and shouted to the archers who were shooting arrows: "Stand in five rows, take turns firing volleys, don't let the arrows stop!" ”

More and more sergeants joined the ranks of the archers, and the archers in the five rows fired volleys in turn, and the non-stop rain of arrows suppressed the Xiongnu archers over there, and also bought time for the Han army. Seeing this, Wei Qing raised his knife and shouted, "Rush over!" He was the first to rush out.

"Keep up!" The soldiers who followed immediately behind shouted, and groups of Han troops swarmed out, and the red-robed cloaks formed a red river on the mountain road, and the rain of arrows flew over their heads and smashed forward.

Because of the suddenness, the Han army hardly had much effort to break through the first few lines of defense, but in the second half, seeing that the Gaoque Pass wall was in front of them, the battle was extremely fierce. Every time the Han army took a step forward, it had to make great efforts.

At this time, Wei Qing waved his hand behind him and shouted, "General Shanjia!" ”

The mountain armor that had been following behind but had not rushed to the front ran over at this time, Wei Qing saw the mountain armor with iron armor all over his body, and said solemnly: "General mountain armor, rely on you!" ”

The blood and black ash made Wei Qing's face look more resolute, and the mountain armor hugged his fist at Wei Qing, said "General rest assured", waved back, and immediately two hundred Han soldiers in full iron armor ran over to line up.

These two hundred men were originally heavy cavalry sergeants of the hussar battalion, and only they had iron armor that could resist the bows and arrows of the Hun soldiers. Qin Cheng gave Wei Qing two hundred heavy cavalry sergeants before leaving to help him overcome the pass.

The reason why the two hundred hussar battalion heavy cavalry sergeants were not moved out at the beginning was because the number was too small to withstand the attrition all the way. But now in the face of the increasingly fierce resistance of the Hun defenders, the casualties of the Han army are getting bigger and bigger, Wei Qing knows that it is time to let the heavy cavalry play, as the so-called good steel is used on the blade, this is the principle.

It's not that Qin Cheng is stingy, he only gives Wei Qing two hundred heavy cavalry sergeants, he himself has to face 30,000 Hun troops, no amount of heavy cavalry is enough, and Qin Cheng also has to face Yi Xue'er's giant wooden cavalry.

Shanjia stood in the queue of heavy cavalry sergeants, drew his long knife, led forward, and shouted: "Heavy cavalry, forward!" ”

The two hundred heavy horsemen shouted in unison and rushed forward. Countless Han soldiers followed behind the heavy cavalry, led by Wei Qing, and crushed the Hun defenders.

The heavy cavalry tore apart the passes, and the Han army that rushed up surrounded the Hun defenders at the pass and annihilated them. So rushed all the way over, and the road was full of red-robed Han troops.

After the Han army in the back besieged and killed the Xiongnu defenders in front of them, they went to keep up with the pace of the brigade.

Later, the Xiongnu defenders on each blockade line saw that the situation was not good, so they turned back to the next blockade line.

Wei Qing cut the throats of the three Hun sergeants in front of him, and the Hun sergeants in front of him began to retreat, and immediately greeted: "Bite it, don't let them run away, move the fence as soon as possible, quickly!" ”

"Bring the knife!" Wei Qing threw the ring-headed knife in his hand into the chest of a Hun sergeant in front of him, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a soldier handed him a brand-new ring-head knife.

"Oops!" A Hun commander saw Wei Qing, who was killing people like grass mustard, and rushed over with a spear in anger, but the spear had already pierced Wei Qing's door before he arrived.

Wei Qing stepped aside, reached out with his left hand, and grabbed the spear.

The Hun commander wanted to twitch the spear, but before he could start exerting his strength, he felt a huge force coming from the spear, and he was sent flying out.

Wei Qing dragged the commander over, and on the side of his body, the long knife was already ready to slide through a blood line from the commander's neck.

When approaching the city wall of Gaoque Pass, the nearby Xiongnu soldiers all went up to the city wall and began to gather on the city wall, relying on the stairs of the city wall to make a final death fight.

"General, the brothers in front have stepped back again!" A heavy cavalry sergeant said to the shanjia.

The heavy cavalry has actually withdrawn from the battlefield here, and the heavy cavalry has led the way to rush, and the heavy cavalry has exhausted its physical strength, because their iron armor is heavier, at this time, seeing the final wall, knowing that the general trend has been decided, the heavy cavalry retreated to rest.

"Can't wait for them!" The mountain armor, which had just stopped for a moment, stood up again, and said to the seventy or eighty heavy cavalry sergeants who had survived the battle behind him: "The general is still waiting for us to break the city, and if we delay for a moment, the general will be more dangerous!" ”

The sky was about to brighten, and the night began to glow with patches of deep blue. The sparse stars were a little scarlet, as if they had drunk too much blood.
