Chapter Thirty-Nine
Jingzi Pass is still far from Wuguan, and Zhulin Pass is different. The most fatal thing is that Zhulin Pass is not far from Shangyi, and after attacking Zhulin Pass, the Qin army is defeated and can run to Suhe Mountain after most of the Danshui effort. The mountain is so important that there is naturally a camp on the mountain, and thousands of Qin troops are stationed. However, at this time, the focus of the Qin army's defense was still Wuguan rather than Wuhe Mountain.
Cheng Tong was worried about time, 50,000 elite Qin troops occupied the Wuhe Mountain, and it would take several days for the Chu army to conquer it. Although he didn't know how many days the Chu army had, if it was delayed for too long in Suhe Mountain, it would definitely affect the attack of Xianyang.
When night falls, the sky is full of stars. The Qin army in Wuguan Guancheng had another extremely hot day. Although the nights were cool, the depression and heat in the Guanling Mansion did not decrease but increased. Zhao Hai kept sending out scrubbers, but most of these scrubbers never returned, and even if they did, most of them were wounded by arrows rather than with the information he wanted.
"At the end of tomorrow, I will go to investigate it in person, please allow the general." There was no news from the front on the fourth day, and Hou Zheng was also anxious. Since his cavalry generals can't do it, he can only go into battle in person.
"Jing Ren screened the scouts, but they wanted to attack me." Qi Brown Road. "Every time our army scouts go out of the customs, they are counting horses and horses, and in my opinion, they should gather hundreds of horses to go out of the customs. Although our army's war horses are not as good as the Jing people, we are outnumbered and outnumbered, and the Jing cavalry is helpless against me in a few days. ”
Qi Brown's idea is brilliant. A single horse and a few horses can't fight Chu Qi, and when a hundred Qin horses get together, Chu Qi has no choice, and he can't kill them all in at least a few days. Zhao Hai, who was worried about the scout, approving: "This plan is very good. In this case, two hundred scouts will be sent out of the pass tomorrow, one to Fushui Pass and one to Jingzi Pass. There must be no mistakes. ”
Scouts are all elites, elites that are rarer than sharps. There were only a few hundred horsemen in Wuguan City, and two hundred horsemen were sent out at a time, and Hou Zheng was reluctant in his heart. But now that he is deaf, the scouts sent out are either blocked or killed, and that's the only way to do it.
After the matter of reprimanding the cavalry was discussed, after Hou Zheng retreated, Zhao Hai discussed with Qi Brown about the military orders sent by the Governor's Mansion. The national lieutenant didn't know how to persuade the king to lead the lieutenant and the lieutenant to go out of Wuguan to copy the back road of the Chu army after the Qin army of Gongyi entered Nanyang.
There were as many as 600,000 Qin troops rushing to the aid of Nanyang County, and the army in Guanzhong was nearly one million. Zhao Hai couldn't think of any way for the Chu army to win, and the defeat of the Chu army was just half a month later. When he thought that the million Qin army had defeated the Jing people, Pan Xuan, the commander of the artillery company outside the Zhulin Pass, shouted: "Let go——! ”
With a 'boom', the cannon chamber made of huge iron spat out flames several feet long. In the light of the flames, it could be vaguely seen that the bamboo forests on both sides of the river valley were full of Chu soldiers in huge armor.
"Jing - people!" Qin Jun on the wall shouted. With this shout, the drums immediately sounded. Unfortunately, there were some strange shouts mixed with the rapid drumming. These shouts appeared on the west side of the wall, not to the east of where the Chu army was located.
Jingzi Pass is about the city, but Zhulin Pass is only about the wall. It's actually a three-way intersection and a three-fork estuary. The east is the Danshui that goes to the east, the Danshui in the north flows through Shangyi, and turns into Zhulin Pass in the south, there is also a Fengshui (now Yinhua River) in the west of Zhulin Pass, where Fengshui and Danshui meet, and the road to Fengyi also intersects with the road to Shangyi.
This three-way intersection was originally not easy to defend, but fortunately, a hill about 1,000 meters wide on the east side of the fork blocked the Danshui River Valley. Danshui can only flow through its northern col. There are cols in the north and south of the hills, wide in the north and narrow in the south, low in the north and high in the south. The wall is built on the north and south sides of the hill, and the bamboo forest pass is built on the west side of the hill.
10,000 Qin troops were stationed here, and the small Guanzhai simply couldn't accommodate so many Qin troops. Military tents can only be set up along the banks of Danshui and Fengshui. The drums beat together, and the whole army was shocked, but the initial threat did not come from the east alone, but from all directions.
"Gawain! Gawain ...... "After the strange whistling, there is the cry of tens of millions of people who are getting more and more neat. Qin Pawn's eyes couldn't help but cast on the dense bamboo forest around them, they only heard the rustling of bamboo leaves and the swaying of bamboo branches, and no one knew what was lurking in the bamboo forest.
"Boom ——!" The artillery of the Chu army in the east slammed into the closed gate, and the gate, which had been held by Zhimu, was slammed into a big hole. The Qin army, who was vigilant about the surrounding bamboo forest, had to look to the east, and the soldiers on the wall also shouted that the gate had been broken.
"㓥!" The bamboo forest was silent for a moment, and suddenly a shout erupted, and the Thai warriors wearing only a cuirass rushed from the bamboo forest. After running for a dozen steps, the javelins in their hands were thrown with all their might. Before these javelins could fall, they jumped and rushed into the Qin army camp outside the walled with their swords.
Qin pawns were first washed by the rain of javelins, the javelins were sharp, and some even penetrated the curtain and fell into the military tent, hitting the Qin pawns hiding in the tent. There were only two javelins raining, the screams of the soldiers had not stopped, and the jumping Thai warriors had already entered the camp. By constantly shouting and prostrating themselves so that others are reflected in the canopy of heaven to distinguish friend from foe.
Night battles are the most likely to cause chaos. The Qin pawns, who only ate corn and vegetable soup, rarely ate meat, and not to mention fighting at night, even it was extremely difficult for some people to see. The Tai warriors armed with short swords resembled a flock of werewolves, and the sharp swords in their hands accurately avoided the friendly forces, only slashing the Qin people.
The gate has been broken, the military camp has been attacked, and the captain of the Qin army on the wall of the bamboo forest pass is about to order to strictly guard the gate and fight again at dawn, when a fire is thrown up by whom. He, including the soldiers around him, all looked up at the fire, when a figure suddenly flashed on the female wall in front of him, and the figure threw it with all his might, and the iron javelin immediately pierced the leather armor and pierced the captain's chest, and the fire fell into the village, and quickly ignited the fire.
The Lieutenant clutched his javelin and screamed loudly, and more black shadows climbed up the women's wall, and they rushed to the Captain and the short soldiers beside him. After a period of life-threatening culling, the short soldiers either collapsed or died. The lieutenant was still breathing, but his head was cut off, and a Thai warrior pulled his hair in a bun, raised his still bleeding head, and danced with his sword and feet.
"Attack! Attack! "Because of the attack of the Thai warriors, the Qin army has been in chaos, and Ruoao outside the city stopped the shelling and ordered to rush into the pass with the division. The sword and shield bearers, who had been waiting in line for a long time, quickly rushed in when they heard the military order. There was already a great chaos in the pass, and the guards behind the gate were trying to repair the gate, and they saw that the Chu army was killing and retreated in panic, and soon, the entire pass was burning in the fire.
"Report ——! Newspaper - "The sound of hurried hooves sounded on the official road west of Wuguan. It was still late at night, and the knight had to hiss incessantly 'Announce', so that the post posts along the way would not stop him. The horses galloped, and Wuguan was in front.
One horse ordered to ride, and the whole army was shocked. As soon as the Lingqi who rushed to Wuguan shouted the news of the 'Zhulin Pass fire', it seemed that half of the soldiers in Wuguan had woken up. Zhao Hai in the Guan Ling Mansion was dressed in a deep coat, he looked at Ling Qi and asked, "Do you see a fire in Zhulin Pass?" ”
"General, indeed!" Lingqi snowboard crown is a hairpin.
"Did Captain Barco send someone to check it out?" Although Zhao Hai did not doubt the authenticity of the fire at Zhulin Pass, he really couldn't believe it if he wanted to say that the Chu army had bypassed Danyang and Jingzi Pass. It's only been a few days.
"General, when the captain saw the fire at Zhulin Pass, he sent someone to check it, and ordered the villain to report to the general urgently, asking the general to send troops to help Shangyi quickly." Ling Qi took out the slip from his bosom, which was a letter from Du Weiba asking for help.
"The fire in Zhulinguan, is it possible for Jing people to do it?" Ling Qi retreated, Zhao Hai looked at the general rate beside him, and also looked at Qi Brown.
"It's a hot summer, but I haven't heard of a summer fire. The fire in Zhulinguan must have been caused by the Jing people. "Qi Brown said." Please also ask the general to send an army to Shangyi equipment as soon as possible. If so......"
"General Qi's words are true." Protector Zhao Yi also said. "If the Jing people have pulled out the Jingzi Pass and the Zhulin Pass, our army will be in danger."
"The order is that Zi Brown will send 20,000 troops to the aid of Shangyi." Zhao Hai's most trusted person is Qi Brown. Shangyi wants to be passed, if Jingzi Pass and Zhulin Pass are lost, 30,000 people can hold Shangyi and block the Chu army for a few days.
The military order was issued, and the army of 20,000 lieutenants left the camp overnight and marched to Shangyi, which was eighty miles away. At this time, the fire in Zhulinguan has gradually extinguished, the summer sky has always been bright early, in the clear morning light of Zhulinguan, inside and outside the village, Fengshui, Danshui, everywhere are the corpses of Qin soldiers.
"I've seen the general...... I've seen the general, I've seen the general's ......," Ruo Ao walked alone on the messy battlefield, and the soldiers along the road saluted him one after another. He did not return the salute, but walked to the pass west of the hill, where the battle was not over.
"What if?" He looked at the leader of the army, Zhu, who led the people to attack the Qin camp at night last night.
"The Qin people are guarding the Great Siege, please borrow Thor to use it." The bamboo points to a large enclosure in the village, which is supposed to be a granary.
"Our army still needs to attack Shangyi, and we have no time here." Ruo Ao walked alone and grabbed Zhu's arm like a brother. He never thought that the Thai people would be able to climb the two-foot and four-foot wall, and he didn't mind being brothers with the Thai people who could fight like this.
"So what? They slew our Taymen. "The Thai people have revenge, and the reason why the Thai people are tightly encircled is to kill the Qin people inside to take revenge.
"The army ordered me to attack Shangyi quickly, and they Qin people must have no less than one head." Ruo Ao patted his chest alone and reassured. "Last night's fire, it can be seen dozens of miles away, and it will not be late in Shangyi."
No one knows how the fire burned, and it is impossible to extinguish the fire together. The soldiers of the Chu army, who had rowed two hundred miles and fought all night, were very tired, but if Ao alone insisted that they could not rest, they must rush to Shangyi in one go.
"General, if you rush to run, it will be difficult for me to accompany you." The order to quickly march to Shangyi has been conveyed to the whole army, and after Pan Xuan found Ruo Ao alone, he opened his mouth like this.
"Why is it difficult to travel?" Ruo Ao asked alone: "Can the car be galloped, but the gun carriage can't be galloped?" ”
"A chariot is a chariot, and a gun wagon is a cannon wagon, how can they be confused?" Pan Xuan retorted.
"Miu!" Ruo Ao drank alone. "Dima can't gallop, and Ryoma can't gallop either, right? You love Marco, if you delay the fighter, you will not be spared! Ruo Ao said after drinking alone: "After two moments, the whole division will be pulled, and there must be no mistakes!" ”
