Chapter 828 The dragon fights in the wild blood Xuanhuang
The Battle of Yumen Pass suddenly broke out under such circumstances. Many of those who were fortunate enough to survive this first encounter were still overwhelmed by the memories of the heroic scene outside the city in the years that followed.
On that day, 100,000 soldiers approached the city, and the wind suddenly rose, and the captain named Wang Cheng, like hundreds of other Han prisoners, had already made up his mind to die.
The Persians' attempt to use them to shake the will of the defenders of the city must not be allowed to succeed! As a big man, let this injured body finally contribute to the home behind him.
All of them had no weapons in their hands, and standing hand in hand against the wall, with their flesh and blood facing the Iron Hoof Scimitar, was the only force they could contribute.
And compared to these brave people, the people of the Western Regions who suffered the same thing as them were much more cowardly. Since it was impossible to move forward, many people crowded together, their eyes wide with horror, and they looked back uneasily at the movement of the Persians behind them.
There were even angry shouts and complaints, and some people shouted loudly, telling the Han army to quickly dodge, so as not to anger those fierce Persian warriors and cause everyone to lose their lives.
"Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather...... This is a phrase that the most learned person in our Han Empire said. If we can't avoid death today, why humiliate this body! ”
Faced with thousands of brave or cowardly faces, Wang Cheng spoke out loud. This ordinary lieutenant in the Han army couldn't read many words, and he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence in the past, but at this moment, he understood it thoroughly.
"Dahan Wansheng! Dahan wins! …… Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng! ”
All the Han captives clasped their arms and shouted in unison. Although there are only a few hundred people's voices, they are so impassioned that people dare not look at them directly. Most of the people in the Western Regions bowed their heads in unison, both ashamed and admiring in their hearts. When I think of the demise of my country, it is precisely because of the lack of this spirit of fearless sacrifice in the face of a strong enemy!
The sudden occurrence of such an accident caused a moment of consternation to the Persian warriors who were driving them forward. They understood right away, though, what was happening. How dare these captives, who had been as silent as sheep before, disobey at this time? It's too slow!
Two small groups of fierce Persians shouted loudly and brandished their shiny scimitars, slashing at a dozen glazed-eyed captives in succession. But in the face of their intimidation, the first few human walls blocking the road roared, but they did not retreat a single step. At this moment, where the smoke and dust rose, the Persian vanguard general came with a large group of men.
Since they refused to serve the great king of Persia, they should be punished. All those stranded, kill on the spot! It's also good to let the Han people in the city take a good look, this is the end of wanting to resist! Hum! ”
Being able to serve as a forward general in the Persian army is, of course, a ruthless character. In the war of the Persian Dynasty's foreign expansion, this guy already has no idea how much blood he has on his hands. Even if he killed all the thousands of people in front of him, his eyes would not blink.
Marshal Nehgu watched from behind, and all the Persians scrambled to take the lead. Hearing the general's order to kill, the camel-mounted warriors he brought with him, together with the Persian warriors who had been in charge of driving away the captives, raised their swords together, and thousands of blades reflected the reflection of the sun, and the sky was furious. It's about to be a bloody killing!
However, at this moment, there was a sudden change in front of the Jade Gate. Suddenly, the huge war drums on the top of the city sounded! In this emptiness, the sound of the drums that shook the wilderness was particularly frightening.
Wang Cheng, the captain of the Han Military Academy, who originally thought that death would be ushered in in the next moment, heard the familiar sound of war drums, he turned his head in surprise, and like everyone else, within the scope of his vision with wide eyes, he saw that the city gate of Yumen Pass did not know when it opened, accompanied by the sound of passionate war drums, flying out of the horse, like a dragon!
"Brothers, it's the Han cavalry! They went out of the city to kill the enemy...... Dahan wins! ”
Wang Cheng raised his arms and shouted, shouting hoarsely. I never thought that the defenders of Yumen Pass would dare to kill them at this time. Although I have long held the belief of martyrdom, when I saw this majestic momentum with my own eyes at this moment, I was moved by it.
Not only them, but even those people from the Western Regions who were forced to come here were full of disbelief. Having seen the power of the Persians with their own eyes, they had already made an assessment in their hearts that all the armies in the Western Regions were not their opponents at all, and they could be said to be vulnerable.
As for the army of the Han Dynasty, if there is a real large-scale battlefield confrontation, I am afraid it will not take any advantage. In the case of heavy troops in front of them, the defenders of Yumen Pass could not hold out, and it was a foolproof strategy to use Xiongguan Jiancheng to do a good job of resisting it. But who knows, they just killed it directly, will they win in such a hard-fought battle?
Amid the sound of war drums and horses' hooves, many people in the Western Regions looked at the Persian army behind them again, and the little hope that ignited in their hearts was extinguished again.
The commander of the Han army who made such a decision was simply stupid! Couldn't he see the size of the Persians with an army of 100,000 at the head of the city? Sending this few thousand cavalry, no matter how powerful it is, can it still defeat a hundred enemies? It's just a death for nothing! If the Persians go crazy and kill them all, it is not impossible to take the Yumen Pass in one go.
However, this is just what they think. The people of the Western Regions have never understood the true spirit of the Han Empire, just as they only saw the high degree of civilization and prosperity in this land, and thought that those exquisite silks and luxurious jade objects represented this nation. But I have never thoroughly seen the mighty and unyielding and fierce bones engraved in the depths of my soul!
And from today onwards, the Oriental Chinese nation, with the dragon as the totem, will fly the real scales and claws, and the war dragon will be in the sky! Not only the people of the Western Regions will rediscover its horror, but also the Persians, the Greeks, the Berians, the Tessians...... Even the entire Western world will tremble at its feet.
And the origin of all this is because of the greedy ambition of the Persian king. From the moment he embarked on the Eastern Crusade, he disturbed the dream of this dragon guarding his homeland. It wakes up from the thunderbolt, it opens its eyes, it blows in the dust...... The dragon fought in the wild, its blood was yellow, and the first battle outside the Yumen Pass. Begin!
The young Li Ling rode his horse and rushed to the front of the team. Full body armor, long sword and fierce horse, although it was the first real battlefield charge, he seemed to be born for war, his whole body was full of blood, and his momentum condensed into a sharp spear tip, piercing straight ahead.
Behind him was a whole new team. They formed an army from Chang'an and followed the Western Expedition to come, and they were familiar with the time of running-in, but it was just the journey of this way.
All the soldiers are selected from the elite of the Han army. Although they are all ordinary sergeants, once they gather under the banner of this new army, they are about to start a glorious legend.
The name "Flying Dragon" was officially named at the same time as the "Flying Jiao" of the South China Sea fleet. They were all taken by Yuan Zhao, and then reported to His Majesty the Emperor for personal approval.
Today, everyone in the world knows that the two most powerful cavalry of the Han Empire are "Black Eagle" and "Red Fire", but not many people really pay attention to these two new armies. However, they don't have to wait too long, they will shock the world and the enemy.
The four Chinese armies of Black Eagle, Red Fire, Flying Dragon, and Flying Jiao, which Yuan Zhao has poured countless efforts into for many years, were officially finalized after this battle. Protect the Quartet and spread the praises of the ages!
At the head of the Yumen Pass, although the general guarding the city and his generals opened the city gate with their own hands just now, they let the army go out to fight and save people. But the uncertainty in their hearts has not been dispelled. Even the young man they regarded as a god-like man was standing beside him, but after all, he was a little uneasy. This middle-aged general has been guarding here for more than ten years and has rich combat experience. He cautiously looked at Yuan Zhao, who was watching the battle with his hands in his hands, and raised his voice to ask amid the deafening sound of war drums.
"Yuanhou, do you want to close the city gate first?"
The first round of war drums rested, and Yuan Zhao heard the guard's instructions clearly. The anxiety and worry on everyone's faces had already been seen in his eyes.
"You don't have to close the gates. Just arrange the manpower and prepare to pick up the people who have been rescued. ”
Yuan Zhao looked indifferent and commanded casually. The wind blew his coat and hunted. And he stood at the head of the city, to see with his own eyes the victory of the first battle.
"But...... What if ......?"
The defender looked at the Persian army that had begun to be launched in the distance, like a moving mountain range, about to collide with the Han cavalry out of the city. He swallowed hard and asked again, with difficulty.
"Don't worry! The Persians could not reach the edge of the Yumen Pass. Han Army...... Win! ”
While making a positive guarantee, Yuan Zhao rolled up his sleeves casually, took two steps forward, took the drum hammer in the hands of the soldiers at the head of the city, and beat the huge cowhide war drum again. He was to personally cheer on the new army on which he had high hopes until they returned in triumph.
Infected by his self-confidence, the Yumen guards and his generals also put aside their worries for the time being, and followed Yuan Zhao to beat more than a dozen big drums on the city at the same time. In an instant, the heavens and the earth were shaken, and the blood was spreading!
As if feeling the master's solemn gaze following, Li Ling, who put down his armor in the gallop, took a deep breath and began to prepare for battle. The flying dragon attacks and wins the first battle! It was a joint vow each of them made before leaving the city.
On the opposite side, seeing this armored cavalry rushing over like a rainbow, the Persian forward general couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. Under such favorable conditions, there was no need to consult Marshal Nehgu, who also knew what to do in order to achieve the greatest results. Immediately pointed the knife forward and shouted the order.
"Leave these captives alone. Herald! The two wings quickly outflanked, and everyone met me head-on...... None of the Han troops who left the city wanted to escape back! Those who seize the city gate should be the first to take credit! ”
