Chapter 140: Those who can't let go are tired
Hangu Pass, the reason why it is called this name, is because it is trapped in the valley, as dangerous as Han, and the cover is called Hangu Pass.
To the south is the Qinling Mountains, and to the north is the Yellow River. Standing horizontally among the mountains and rivers when going out, it is a rare Xiongguan in the world.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and it is dark that you can't see the mountain road clearly, so one person is standing at the head of the city facing the cold wind.
Under the eaves of the city wall, Meng Fu stood at the pass with his hands behind his back, holding a cold long sword beside him, the long sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword stood on the ground.
His brow furrowed, and his eyes drooped at the narrow path in the long valley. It seemed like he wanted to see something at the end of the narrow road, but there were only a few weeds in the place that swayed in the dark night.
Nothing.
The army marched in a hurry for half a day, and finally arrived at Hangu Pass before night. After the army entered the city, Meng Fu had been standing here, but he didn't see the white-armored and black army.
The sound of footsteps behind him, as well as the sound of clothes and armor bumping, Meng Fu didn't look back, just listening to the sound, he knew who was coming.
Meng Wu held a fur in his hand and covered Meng Fu's body: "Father, let's rest early." β
"The old man's body bones are not bad to this extent..." Meng Fu said quietly.
"Where's Tian'er?"
"I kept making trouble, and I knocked me unconscious."
Meng Wu stood silently beside Meng Fu and looked at the mountain road.
After a while, he spoke up again: "I have checked, and most of the horses in the city have been recruited, not even the horses that carry the goods. β
"Huh."
"I said where did she get her ten thousand rides?" Meng Fu chuckled: "This kind of thing is what she did." β
"Take 10,000 guards who are not good at riding and foot soldiers to attack the battle."
The closed Qin flag sounded in the wind, and Meng Wu turned his head and looked at Meng Fu.
"Father, you know General Gu, it's unlikely to come back."
"This kind of thing, that is, nine deaths and one life, is also a big fate."
"It's us who should be fighting to the death."
Meng Fu said something out of nowhere, bowed his back lightly, and stood with his shoulders down.
Meng Wu didn't know how to answer, and smiled bitterly, his face struggling.
"General Gu will rescue us for the sake of the overall situation of King Qin, and what we can do is to finish the overall situation of King Qin for my son, and it is not yet time to disappearΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
The clenched hands made him not look so calm.
Meng Fu stretched out a hand and gently put it on Meng Wu's shoulder and patted it.
"You know how to take care of the overall situation, and I am very happy to be a father."
Meng Fu walked up to the pass, propped his hands on the city wall, and looked at the silhouette-like rivers and mountains under the pass.
His eyes wandered, as if he had seen something.
"Oh, the old man and the white old man, I knew each other in the early years, when we were out fighting, we stood on the city wall, looking at the majestic mountains and rivers. I am inferior to him in everything, with a far-sighted approach and a grand plan. You are not a filial son, didn't you just think about worshipping him as a teacher back then? β
Meng Wu looked at Meng Fu's appearance, opened his mouth, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
"Ha, but he didn't live as long as I did, and a demon like him had his own harvest."
Meng Fu said, laughing, and the laughter was full of confusion.
The laughter faded away, leaving only a body of decadence.
"That girl really looks like him..."
"That kind of person only has the harvest of heaven, and he will not die here."
"Father." Meng Wu also wanted to persuade Meng Fu to take care of the overall situation and take care of himself.
Meng Fu raised his hand and interrupted him.
"I'm old, so let the old man do things like an old man this time. Being a leader, I can't put it down, it's really tiring. β
ββββββββββββββββ
The sound of horses' hooves came from between the mountains, Gu Nan and they fled all the way, and the army of the Five Kingdoms did not catch up again, so they slowly stopped.
The mountain road could not be seen clearly at night, and the horses were prone to stumbling in this place, so they stopped and planned to spend the night here.
A few piles of dead wood were cut and a bonfire was lit.
Between the mountains and forests, this kind of thing is the most, and it is simply that the snow melts quickly in the first few days, otherwise at this time, I am afraid that I will not even be able to light the fire.
The firelight warmed people and dispelled the coldness of the body, but it did not let the tiredness and coldness in people's hearts disperse a little.
Of the 10,000 people who came, only about 3,000 left, and 7,000 lay there silently. It could not be recovered, but it could only be put in the field and became the mouth food of the beast.
Gu Nan was sitting quietly in front of the bonfire.
"General."
A trap soldier walked up to her and bowed slightly.
"Done?" Gu Nan's voice was a little hoarse, and he looked at the fire and asked.
"Yes, the garrison lost more than 6,000 troops, and more than 600 people were killed in the battle."
Seventy percent of the army was lost.
The guards are foot soldiers, and so are the trapped troops, who are not good at riding and fighting, and being able to ride back on horseback has already been screened. And most of the horses they temporarily called were not war horses, and there were a lot of armaments in Hangu, but there were thousands of war horses for a while, thousands of horses under them, and horses used for transportation.
It's a blessing that they didn't all die in that formation.
Gu Nan nodded, didn't say much, and glanced at the trapped army: "Go and rest." β
The trapped soldier looked at the general's tired appearance and lowered his head: "The general also rests early." β
"Talk."
Gu Nan pulled out a smile and waved his hand.
The soldier grabbed his hair and retreated.
The firelight by the bonfire was warm, and Gu Nan looked at the firelight in a trance.
Her vision blurred for a moment, and she guessed that there was too much blood left, and she was already starting to lose consciousness.
Suddenly, I felt an itch in my shoulder.
Looking down, the arrow on his shoulder was still pierced in the flesh, and the plasma that had been frozen had melted away at this time, and the blood flowed non-stop.
He pursed his mouth, reached out and held the arrow, his face tightened in pain, and he pulled the arrow off.
