Chapter 364: Rush to the Aid (1)
On the ancient road east of Hanya Pass, a soldier was standing on a high place boredly, watching the battle in the distance, and there were many people with him. But despite their boredom, these people wore armor and held weapons, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Now it is the last moment, they only need to break through the Hangu Pass and recapture the Son of Heaven, their operation this time can be regarded as a complete success, and the busyness of these days can be regarded as having an ending.
However, the trapped beasts are still fighting, and the resistance of the defenders in the pass this time is already unexpected, and no one dares to guarantee that they have no hole cards. In case of a sudden kill, kill one of them by surprise or something, that...
In the end, if you keep it, then everything will be fine, but if you don't hold it...
That's the end of everything...
At least everyone here is sure that neither Li Dao nor Guo Yan will let them go, not just the main general, I am afraid that even they will be implicated.
And to be honest, it's actually a very good thing here, and it can be called a beautiful difference. Yes, at the beginning, it was really troublesome to go over the mountains, but what about later?
After that, things are much easier. In the back, the soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass had already despaired, and their task was only to stay in this place, and nothing else at all.
Such an easy task, it's really freehand...
Well, except for the smell of the walls made of corpses, the weather is starting to get colder and colder now, not as hot as in the middle of summer, but even so, the corpses will still start to rot after being left for a long time.
For these veterans who have survived a hundred battles, there is nothing to be afraid of the dead, after all, they themselves are the ones who created the dead. The problem is that there is still a big difference between a dead person and a rotting corpse, and the biggest difference is that the latter is at least not as disgusting as the former...
Especially the strong smell, if it weren't for the military order, I'm afraid that no one here would be able to tolerate it. To be reasonable, even if they are used to dead people, it doesn't mean that they can get used to this strong stench, these are completely two concepts...
Otherwise, these people would not be able to stand tall, at least the smell should be a little lighter, and it would be better if there was a little wind. And in this almost canyon-like landscape, there is no shortage of wind in any case.
"You say, how long will it take to capture Hangu Pass over there?" Looking at the battle-torn Hangu Pass in the distance, a soldier asked a little boredly.
To be honest, although this place is actually not bad, and there is a lot of game, but it is not a comfortable thing to live in the barren mountains and mountains for a long time, especially this time in order to travel lightly to the Hangu Pass, they didn't bring anything at all, let alone tents, that is what their main generals are not qualified to enjoy, so of course...
Everyone is not very comfortable, especially in the middle of the night, and all kinds of mosquitoes and other things are even more annoying. To be reasonable, mosquitoes in the wild are very terrifying, although Hanguguan is located in the north, so it is not as terrifying as mosquitoes in some areas of the south. But it's just as uncomfortable, these days, these people can say that they are almost feeding the mosquitoes in the neighborhood, not to mention anything else...
So, even though they actually liked it at first, they were completely tired of it now. That's right, Chang'an City is indeed very desolate, and there is basically nothing left, but the problem is that at least there are no of these damn bugs there.
To be reasonable, they really feel that they have almost fed all the mosquitoes in the neighborhood, and even in the last two days, the mosquitoes have not come much. However, the decomposing corpse has attracted some other strange things, which makes people feel a little scary.
"Who knows, I hope it will soon..."
Everyone is looking forward to returning to Chang'an City as soon as possible and finding a place to rest comfortably as soon as possible.
It's just that...
Just when almost everyone thought that this time the matter could be easily ended, at least soon the other brothers on the side of Hangu Pass could kill all the guys in the pass and bring the Son of Heaven back by the way, I don't know why, there was a sudden shock in the pass.
It's like the ground is singing, and it's like a herd of beasts rushing...
"What's going on?" Turning his head and looking in the other direction, the soldier's face was written with shock.
Just east of Hanya Pass, two groups of soldiers and horses could be seen coming towards them along a narrow ancient road. Although the ancient road is extremely narrow, it seems that there is no problem at all for these soldiers and horses. The speed was so fast that it was almost in the blink of an eye.
And behind them, there seems to be a large number of soldiers and horses coming, faintly, it seems that you can see two flags, one with a big strict character written on it, and the other side with a Cao character written on it...
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
The speed of the two groups of soldiers and horses was a few pieces, and they had already killed in front of them before the Xiliang army had time to react. Although the Kwantung soldiers and horses came very suddenly, the Xiliang army guarding here was very confident. After all, this is a perfect place for them to defend, and they have the walls they built from corpses before.
With these things, they have resisted many attacks by the soldiers and horses of the Kannai, and although these soldiers and horses of the Kanto region can be regarded as a new force, they are nothing. What's more important is that for the Kwantung soldiers and horses, these Xiliang soldiers actually have a little bit of contempt in their hearts, thinking that these are just embroidered pillows, which look good, but in fact, they can't fight at all.
In fact, this is also a more common mentality of the border army, that is, they feel that the soldiers and horses in the pass are not good.
In this way, even if the Kanto soldiers and horses came really suddenly, they actually didn't take it very seriously.
It's just that...
Soon a general shouted. "Shoot the arrows!"
Soon, the soldiers and horses standing high on both sides drew their bows and pointed at the target below. There was a sound of bowstrings trembling, and arrows rained down on the soldiers and horses below the mountain. However, just when the Xiliang army in charge of defense thought that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side would soon be turned on their backs, they were surprised to find that this rain of arrows almost did not cause much damage to the soldiers and horses below. Some of them didn't even have shields, but they just swept away the arrows that were fired at them with their weapons.
Occasionally, a few arrows were shot at non-vital positions, but these people did not cry out in pain like ordinary people, some pulled them out directly, and some used their weapons to cut off the shaft of the arrow and continue to fight.
Of course, this is only the performance of the Qingzhou army, but although the performance of the Cao army on the other side is a little worse, the gap is not very large.
Soon, these soldiers and horses braved the rain of arrows and approached the position in front.
"Rush! Slay these rebels to me! ”
Drawing the long knife at his waist, one of the leading generals snapped, and by the way, opened an arrow aimed at him with his scabbard.
"Hmph, look for death!" On the 'hill', looking at those who were rushing up, a general of the Xiliang Army sneered.
However, looking at these soldiers and horses rushing up, his heart was also a little cold. To be reasonable, the so-called elite is not unprecedented, there was a Flying Bear Army in the Xiliang Army back then, which was selected by Dong Zhuo from among the elite of the Xiliang Army. Being able to fight well, Dong Zhuo's ability to establish so many achievements on the battlefield has a lot to do with the existence of the Flying Bear Army, and he came out of the Flying Bear Army back then.
But to be honest, even the Flying Bear Army back then was probably not so terrifying.
It's absolutely no problem to be able to fight well, after all, the Flying Bear Army was originally drawn from the elite, but the problem is...
The Flying Bear Army back then didn't have this ability...
Seeing those Kwantung soldiers and horses over the corpse mountain, climbed up directly, and waved the weapons in their hands to fight them, and there was a little bit of momentum, the general was also a little frightened.
The only thing he was glad about was that they were standing in a high position, condescending...
"There is such an advantage, no matter how powerful they are, it is useless!"
Well, in fact, he really doesn't have much confidence, but the key problem is that the battle on the Hangu Pass side is about to end. In other words, they only need to hold on for a little longer, and they can get support from the Hangu Pass, and at that time, even if these soldiers and horses in front of them are elite, will they still have the ability to break through the Hangu Pass?
To be reasonable, he's really not worried about this at all...
Looking at the battlefield that was already standing in a mass in the distance, a strong man who looked like an officer said respectfully to a general next to him.
"General rest assured, our people have rushed up, and those Xiliang troops can't be their opponents..."
However, hearing his words, the general shook his head.
"The situation over there in Hangu Pass is already a bit dangerous, we must preemptively deal with these enemy forces before Hangu Pass is breached, especially before Cao Jun..."
The lieutenant also looked over and nodded slightly.
"General rest assured, no matter what, the Xiliang Army and the Cao Army will not be our opponents..."
Zhao Yun nodded when he heard this, but after muttering for a while, he took his silver spear from the hands of his own soldiers on the side.
"General?" Seeing that Zhao Yun seemed to be planning to do it himself, the deputy general was a little surprised.
"In any case, the safety of the Son of Heaven is the most important...", Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp gaze.
Seeing Zhao Yun appear in person, many soldiers were a little excited.
The four generals of Qingzhou, each of them is a legendary existence in Qingzhou, because these are the four strongest generals in Qingzhou, and they are also the four most legendary, and each of these four people has their own unique place. For example, Huang Zhong's archery, as well as Tai Shici's bravery and good fighting, Gan Ning's fierceness, and Zhao Yun's martial arts...
That's right, although Yan Shao and many others know that Huang Zhong is the strongest in martial arts, but in the eyes of many people outside, Zhao Yun, who has fought against Lu Bu, is actually the strongest one.
Especially Zhao Yun's appearance is very good, and he treats people and things very decently, not to mention that he is in the Qingzhou Army, even for ordinary families, Zhao Yun is also a worthy befriender.
Yes, although those families are a little arrogant, especially those who look down on those from low backgrounds, it stands to reason that Zhao Yun is such a most vivid example. Because of course he is brave, and he is very reused, in a high position, but in fact he is a civilian, originally just an ordinary person, if it wasn't for Yan Shao's promotion, I'm afraid he would still be just an ordinary pawn, so he has been in Yuan Shao's army, and it is very likely that he will still be unknown until now, although Zhao Yun is very brave, and he can even compete with fierce generals like Wen Chou and Yan Liang, but his background is too low, And Yuan Shao is just a person who values his background very much.
If he is the kind of person who has followed Yuan Shao for a long time, then there is no problem, because at least Yuan Shao, who has not made a fortune in the early days, is still very polite and virtuous, and Yuan Shao is actually very nostalgic for the old love, which means that if you follow him early enough, then he may treat you well because of the face of the old love.
But if your background is not good, then just look at the many talented people under Yuan Shao's command, who are not reused because of their background.
You know, Guo Jiake also went to Yuan Shao's place at the beginning...
But what can be done, who let Guo Jia be from a poor family?
The same is true for Zhao Yun, Guo Jia also has a good reputation, and more importantly, he is still a little valuable from a poor family, but Zhao Yun is a real grassroots background, well, although with Zhao Yun's various skills and appearance, no one will underestimate him, but you must know that Yuan Shao himself is also rich and handsome, and it is very likely that he will be the best monarch in terms of appearance during the Three Kingdoms period.
A very important reason why Yuan Shao was able to make his uncle look at him differently was because Yuan Shao was not only capable, but more importantly, he was quite good-looking.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun was under Yan Shao's command.
And his reputation has spread farther and farther because of himself, and now he has become a legend in the Qingzhou Army...
Now that they saw that Zhao Yun was about to go to the battlefield, all of them were suddenly excited.
And Zhao Yun did not live up to their expectations, just holding a silver spear, just holding a silver spear, so the tower was so proud in the direction of the battlefield, occasionally there were arrows shooting, he didn't even need to dodge, just gently knocked it open with the barrel of the gun...
