The origin of the name of Ganyun Ridge is no longer examinable, although it is called a ridge by the local people of Zhenfan, in fact, its terrain is very dangerous, with deep ravines and steep forests. It is precisely because of these precipitous environments that the remnants of a Han army have been able to resist here until now.

In the eyes of the nearby people, it was only a matter of time before the Han army that fled here was annihilated. In total, more than 30,000 Shinban troops have surrounded this mountainous area, blocking all access roads, and it has been almost a month now.

The reason why the generals who led the troops did not launch a large-scale offensive and wipe out all these Han people was because at the beginning, they received an order from King Wei that in order to minimize the casualties of the real soldiers, there was no need to rush to attack, and it was the easiest way to surround them and slowly trap them without fighting.

Regarding this order from Wang Xiancheng, when several generals conveyed it, they naturally vigorously promoted the benevolence of King Wei, and he was so sympathetic to the soldiers, he was really a good king. The ability to reduce the risk of dying in battle is of course good news for ordinary soldiers. As for spending some time here besieging the Han army, it was nothing to them. The real warriors are really good hunters, and it is common to wait patiently for their prey to be shortlisted in the ice and snow, and they have long been accustomed to it.

Although this winter is not particularly cold, the people who live here all year round are well aware of the impermanence of the seasons. Maybe the heavy snow will fall tomorrow, and then they don't need to spend a knife and an arrow on their strength, and the Han army, which has no source of supplies, if it does not surrender, it will only be a dead end.

This is not their blind optimism, but the most real reality. In this country with three sides of the sea and one land, there is always one of the coldest days every winter, which is really bitter cold, and it is common for people to freeze to death in the wild.

However, just two days ago, with the arrival of the troops led by Kim Tae-jung, the general of the court, he also brought the latest order of King Wei. The plan changed, and in order to cooperate with the Xiongnu Shan Yu's latest offensive against the Han Dynasty, they had to eliminate all the Han people who appeared in Zhenban territory in the shortest possible time.

Jin Taizhong, as the supreme commander of the Zhenfan army, did not hesitate to go to Ganyunling to supervise the battle, which is enough to see that King Wei attaches great importance to this matter. Therefore, after receiving the order, several generals did not dare to slack off, organized men and horses, and launched an attack on the Han army on Ganyunling yesterday. However, it is a pity that because of the insufficient preparation in the hurry, they were not able to attack and destroy them in one fell swoop, and because of the desperate resistance of the trapped people, there were many real casualties.

Jin Taizhong was naturally in an extremely unhappy mood. He received the assignment of King Wei and drove directly from Wang Xiancheng to here, thinking that he would completely solve the remnants of the army in one go, but he didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn, not only did not surrender, but they all seemed to be desperate, and the losses after the first battle were very heavy.

Now, Jin Taizhong can't care about the lives of the soldiers, the time limit given to him by King Wei is three days, and he must be wiped out within three days, and then he will be ordered to be the general of the army, send troops north to attack Liaodong, and fight together with the Huns. Such an exciting scene was in front of him, and Kim Tae-jung didn't want to miss it.

Therefore, just today, he issued a stern general order, ordering all the Zhenfan troops to besiege Ganyunling, intensify preparations for a day today, and attack with all their might early tomorrow morning, and be sure to complete the task of annihilating the Han army within the time limit specified by King Wei. Those who dare to delay the fighter will be killed!

In the face of the murderous and violent general, all the lieutenant generals and colonels of the army were nervously busy, this was a matter of their own lives, and they could not be sloppy at all. The whole army was reorganized for battle, and there was a slaughter under Ganyun Ridge.

The cold wind passed through the hill, bringing the iron-blooded breath under the mountain to Ganyun Ridge. In the layers of the Han army's cordon, Xun Yu, the former general of the left, drilled out of the cave that was temporarily used as a command place, and looked up at the distance that was gradually blurred.

If it weren't for the huge support of faith, maybe he and his subordinates wouldn't be able to survive now, and they would have left this world long ago, just like those comrades who died in battle.

From the Canghai County of Liaodong of the Han Dynasty to enter the Zhenfan domestic battle, until now, it has been a whole month, even if it is surrounded on this Ganyun Ridge, it has been more than 20 days. Needless to say, this period of hardship is needless to say.

Xun Yu is only twenty-five or sixteen years old this year, he is not a person with a lot of battles, and he is not qualified to conquer Zhenfan Country as the general of the Northern Route Army. The reason why he was able to be appointed was that His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered the generals.

It turned out that Xun Yu was also a guard of Weiyang Palace. His family is also a famous family in Guanzhong. In the more than ten years since the succession of today's son, Xun Yu was trusted by the emperor with his fierce loyalty. Later, although he was transferred to the army, Emperor Liu Che always remembered him.

In recent years, the emperor has made great efforts to make great achievements after taking power, and a large number of talents are needed. Therefore, the talented and loyal people he once remembered in his heart were gradually promoted and reused. It was under such circumstances that Xun Yu was worshiped as General Zuo, and together with Yang Fu, the general of Lou Chuan, the soldiers were divided into two routes, and the waterways were marched together, and they came together to crusade against the Zhenfan Kingdom.

At this time, in retrospect, when I set off from Chang'an, I was so high-spirited that I thought that this battle would be won, and it would be okay to be a marquis after returning. But he never thought that after falling into the real man's plan to lure the enemy deeper, the general of the building boat, Yang Fu, died, and the whole army was wiped out! The Northern Route Army under his command, under the sudden appearance of the Hun cavalry and the Zhenfan army several times his size, was finally defeated, fled here in a hurry, defended according to the danger, and held on for many days.

If you want to talk about despair, you have already despaired many times. But every time he saw the desire to survive in the eyes of those scarred subordinates, Xun Yu gritted his teeth and persevered. They are all good men of the Han Dynasty, and they would rather persist until the last moment than give up easily. He is only coarse and does not understand many big truths, but at least he understands that all their soldiers represent the majesty of the Han Dynasty, but they can die standing up, but they must not live on their knees!

In fact, they were able to survive in such a harsh environment, in addition to their strong will, because someone had passed a message to them. It was more than ten days after the siege, and when everyone was already despairing, a man dressed in the costume of a Zhenfan soldier climbed over the cliff and told them the news that the Han court had begun to form an Eastern Expeditionary Army and was about to launch a large-scale crusade against Zhenban.

It's definitely a godsend! All the soldiers who heard the news shed tears of emotion. It is only when you are in a desperate situation that you know how heavy it is. The imperial court did not forget them, and His Majesty the Emperor did not abandon his defeated warriors! The desire to live is re-strengthened, and even if there is a glimmer of hope, it is necessary to persevere.

All the food and baggage they brought with them had been exhausted, and in the last few days, all the soldiers had used to feed themselves was some grass roots and dried fruits, and occasionally caught a few prey, which was already a joyful improvement in food. Fortunately, the besieging Shinban army has not launched an offensive all this time, which cannot but be said to be a huge mistake on their part. The Han army, whose combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened, if a fierce battle is launched at this time, I am afraid that it will not last long and will all be destroyed. This situation was finally over yesterday.

Maban's brigade suddenly attacked. If it weren't for the exciting news he got just a day ago, Xun Yu and his subordinates would not have been able to bear it in the face of the ferocious Zhenfanren.

In yesterday's battle, all the Han troops fought hard, held on to half a step back, and finally repelled the attack of the Zhenfan people with such a terrain that was not afraid of death and danger. Despite the heavy casualties, most survived.

The reason why the Han army was able to do this was because they didn't want to die on the eve of hope! The Han Crusade is about to come to their rescue! Tomorrow at the latest, they will be there. This is the most real news brought by the messenger who broke through the encirclement of the real people and rushed up the mountain!

Under the gloomy sky, twilight fell exceptionally early. Xun Yu tightened the bandage that bound the wound on his right arm, and when he turned his head, he saw the person who brought them hope.

This young man named Cui Hong was the one who brought the news of the rescue the night before. Xun Yu looked at his back, and inexplicably felt that this person was very different from them, although he couldn't say what was the difference, but he just felt that he had a special heroic spirit.

"After yesterday's war, there were many things, and I haven't thanked you for saving your life! Hehe, Brother Cui, although he said that he was very grateful, a certain family has long been remembered in his heart! ”

Yesterday's battle between the two sides was still fierce. Several times, those who are not afraid of death have broken through the dangerous pass of the mountain pass, and almost all of them are about to rush over. Xun Yu personally went into battle to kill, but was surrounded by several other warriors and couldn't get out. Just when his right arm was slashed with a knife and was about to die, it was Cui Hong in front of him who saved him.

It is no exaggeration to say that even in retrospect, Xun Yu still doesn't quite believe the scene he saw with his eyes. Because from the moment the young man pulled out the broad sword behind his back and jumped up, until the five or six people who were fighting beside him fell to the ground at the same time, Xun Yu didn't see clearly what kind of move the dazzling sword was making.

"No thanks. They are all contributing to the country, and they are both the people of the Han Dynasty, so they should naturally share the same hatred for the enemy in this enemy land. ”

Cui Hong smiled faintly, his temperament has undergone a radical change in the past few years, and he already has a bit of a master's demeanor in every move.

"Brother, this sword of yours is really powerful! Breaking through the enemy is so powerful, it should be a famous sword, right?"

"Yes, the name of this sword is Wuji, it is indeed a famous sword in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was given by the teacher."

"That's right...... So, may I ask what is the name of the honored teacher......?"

"My master is the world-famous Changle Hou Yuanzhao! Oh, I forgot to tell you that he personally led the troops to rescue you this time. ”

Cui Hong, who was carrying the famous sword of the Spring and Autumn Period, looked up at the mountains in the distance, with incomparable pride in his expression.
