Yangguan is named because it is located in the south of Yumen Pass.

Relying on the water as the pass, according to the Sichuan danger, occupy the dangerous terrain of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", echoing with the north and south of the Yumen Pass, it is an important pass for the Central Plains Dynasty to defend against the invasion of the northwest nomads, and it is also an important gateway for the Central Plains to the Western Regions and Central Asia on the Silk Road.

Yangguan has a unique geographical location, far beyond Yumen Pass.

There is the Dang River on the left, which is the only living river in the south of Dunhuang County, which originates from the western foot of Qilian Mountain and is formed by the melting of snow-covered glaciers.

On the right is Mingsha Mountain, the continuous yellow sand is washed by the wind and rain, and the water is washed away, forming a cliff, which makes many people who have crossed it difficult to retreat.

(Note: The ancients regarded the south of the mountain and the north of the water as the yang.) ）

The next day, early in the morning.

The Yangguan Ancient Road is green and yin, the willows are green and the flowers are red, and the spring water is clear, which is incompatible with the desolate land in the northwest.

Within the pass.

Wolverine wielded a horsewhip and whipped several of his men with all his might.

After taking Yangguan, he thought he could get a good night's sleep, but he was inexplicably busy for half the night, which made him feel very unhappy.

Yesterday, the right-hand man went out to eat, and when he returned, he lost the army!

No one is alive, no body is dead, and there is no news until dawn!

That's 2,000 people, not dozens of brutes!

Wolverine's anger betrayed panic.

Living in the Western Regions, what is lacking is not weapons, nor war horses and camels, but people!

The prince did not hesitate to use a lot of gold and silver to buy back slaves from Tuyuhun, Dayue and other countries, and trained hard to become soldiers, but he was lost more than 2,000 by himself.

When I go back, whether I will kill or chop, I guess no one can guess.

It's useless to hide it, and in two days, the Dharma Protector will definitely come to inspect the generals and soldiers, and when the time comes, ......

Thinking of this, Wolverine swung his whip with more force.

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! How did the army get lost?!!! ”

"Spare your life, Protector of the Dharma, I'····· I don't know how to lose it! Yesterday, you asked me to lead troops to explore Dunhuang City, and I met the camel caravan of the old ghost halfway, thinking that the two sides had a grudge for a long time, so I couldn't help but rob it! ”

"And then ?!!"

And then ····· Then, I took a few cronies to eat some melons, fruits and barbecue, but who knows, before I finished eating, I had diarrhea, and I was in a coma! Hell, when I woke up, I checked the food and found that there were not only laxatives, but also drugs! It must be a stumbling block under the old ghost of the end of the year, I have long heard that he has close contacts with the Turks, and this time, it seems that he is ready to take a stand and completely defect to the Turks! ”

"Smack·······

"Idiot!" Wolverine threw away his whip and wiped the beads of sweat from his bald head, "You mean, those 2,000 soldiers and horses were all swallowed by the old ghost?" ”

"Maybe it's co-opted! Dharma Protector, do you remember that the 2,000 people were all slaves bought from the Turks by the hands of the old ghosts? ”

"Yes, the prince warned me at the beginning, be careful of the inner ghost!" Wolverine nodded, suddenly came to his senses, and roared loudly: "Someone! The soldiers sent the jade gate to pass, and Lao Tzu was going to kill the old ghost with his own hands!! ”

·········

Yang Shuang didn't have much research on dinosaurs, but he only knew that China was a treasure of feng shui rich in dinosaur fossils, and about one-sixth of the dinosaur fossils in the world were named by the Chinese people.

He didn't explain anything about the panic that quickly rose after everyone saw the giant bones.

He didn't want to talk to the ancients about genes, biological evolution, and the Ice Age, which was tantamount to playing the harp to a cow, and was far less simple than the word "habit".

At the top of the two gate towers, two cables have been erected. Subsequently, the huge dinosaur skeleton was connected together by willow nails produced by the blacksmith shop, and the upper end was connected to the cable, and it stood upright in the urn city with teeth and claws.

This scene is very visually impactful in a feudal society where superstition is prevalent.

Even in the future, the faint-hearted will scream in fright when they see the skeleton, let alone this behemoth.

Some laborers who feared ghosts and gods were about to kneel and worship on the spot, but they were kicked to the ground by several stupid and bold sword and shield soldiers arranged by Yang Shuang.

"This is Guan Cheng's pet, it's better to worship Lord Guan Cheng than to worship it!"

"From now on, all dolls over the age of eight will have a vigil here for a year!"

"When digging the pit, those frightened cowards, you will be responsible for cleaning this beast bone from now on!"

Looking at the Yumen Pass, which is different from the past, Yang Shuang sighed quite a lot, people are like tigers in the poor skills of donkeys, when they know that this bone frame has no power, it is estimated that they will use it as a talking point after cooking.

Habit!

Fear comes from the unknown, and the greatest weapon against the unknown is habit.

When the cowards get used to walking at night, and when the fools get used to playing routines, the world will become very exciting.

"Big brother, Wolverine with three thousand cavalry is coming to us quickly, and it is currently less than twenty miles away from Yumen Pass!"

"Prepare for battle!" Receiving the news, Yang Shuang was not surprised.

Losing 2,000 cavalry, if Wolverine still has no reaction, he will have to wonder if King Shanshan is a professional pig farmer.

The captives have not been reorganized for the time being, and the strength is still the same.

Two hundred sword and shield soldiers, one hundred crossbow men, twenty bed crossbows, and fifteen light trebuchets.

Yang Shuang was not ready to go out of the city to face the battle this time, because the pass had been repaired.

In the last battle against the sudden 2,000 people, although no one died, dozens of people were seriously injured by the war horse, and they have not yet recovered.

This made him feel distressed, and from then on he decided, if it was not necessary, to resolutely not go head-to-head with the large-scale cavalry.

The new Jade Gate Pass needs to be washed by iron and blood.

Three hundred soldiers, if they want to become elite soldiers, they must go through various battles.

And this time, Yang Shuang decided to stick to it.

The bed crossbows and trebuchets were dismantled from both sides of the urn city and transported to the walls on either side of the east gate.

The crossbowmen hid against the wall, ready to deliver a devastating blow to the thieves.

And the sword and shield soldiers, five people and a team, raised their shields and shrank into a formation to guard against the rain of arrows from under the city walls.

More than 1,000 people carried a large number of crossbow arrows and stones onto the city wall.

Due to the geographical location, Yumen Pass does not have extravagant wood and boiling oil, even if it is a stone, it is also from ten miles away, from the big pit where the corpse is buried, the treasure is selected and specially used for trebuchet, and it cannot be used easily until it is absolutely necessary.

Yang Shuang called out to the busy Wu Kun, "Have you counted it?" ”

"Two thousand crossbow arrows, two hundred crossbow arrows, and fifty stone bullets!"

"So little?"

"This is still made by everyone overnight, otherwise there will be even less!"

"Boom ······"

"Hemp egg!"

Hearing the sound, Yang Shuang scolded angrily and looked up at the outside of the city.

Attacking soldiers and horses, at least 3,000 horsemen!

Moreover, it is much more elite than the previous 2,000 people.

There were 100 people in front, horse armor, spears, giant bows, and war knives, and there were many of them.

Trailing behind the carriage, there seemed to be a long strip of things.

Observing carefully, Yang Shuang's face was solemn.

Ladders and rushes!
