Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hostages

Shanhaiguan under the cover of night, like a sleeping beast, quietly crawling on the earth.

"The king has an order, the whole army stops advancing, and the condor shooters are out!" Several cavalry heralds galloped away from Su Fuyan's side, quickly conveying his order, and the surging Wuhuan elite cavalry gradually stopped, and slowly spread out to the two wings from a thousand steps away from Shanhaiguan, like a flood engulfing the vast desert outside the passβ€”

Seeing the powerful cavalry formation on his side that could almost devour the sky and the earth, and then looking at the poor guards of the Han army in front of him, Su Fuyan couldn't help but be full of pride, and said proudly: "Blow the trumpet, beat the drum, and prepare to attackβ€”β€”"

A huge horn was lifted up and pointed into the sky, and several bare-chested drummers also climbed onto the drum rack, and earthworm-like green tendons burst out on their thick arms, and the two heavy drumsticks were clenched in their hands, and they slammed down on the war drums as big as the car coverβ€”

"Knock-" A suffocating drum suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, as if it was directly hitting the heart of the Wuhuan warrior. The blood was boiling, and the scorching killing intent began to pour out from the eyes of every Wuhuan soldier. The battle drums are up, the swords are raised, and the moment to show the courage of the Wuhuan knights has come-

"Knock knockβ€”"

"Woo woo woo-" The fierce sound of war drums and long horns rose up one after another, intertwined, and the strong aura of slaughter stirred inside and outside Shanhaiguan, and permeated between heaven and earth.

"Stand alone!" Su Fuyan shouted.

Standing and riding forward, two hundred steps out of the battle with a bow and arrows, pointing to the sky, the five-stone strong bow slowly opened, until Zhang was like a full moon, and the sharp arrow cluster pointed to the banner of the Han army in front of him, and then his right hand was released, only to hear a buzz, and the wolf's tooth arrow on the string had swept into the air-

"Huh-" The sharp wolf's tooth arrow slashed through the sky in an instant, flying towards the flagpole of the Han army with a sharp scream, the cold light flashed, only to hear the sound of Du, and pierced into the flagpole for a few inches. Liao Hua, who rushed to hear the news, his face sank, at such a distance, there was such a penetrating power, the arm strength of this Wuhuan shooter could be described as terrifying!

Looking at the twenty archers standing in a row next to the archer, the exaggerated five-stone strong bow was slowly opening, and the arrows were facing the rising sun, reflecting a dazzling coldness, Liao Hua shouted: "Raise the shield!" ”

A series of screams pierced the sky, and a low moan of strong pain came from not far away, Liao Hua turned his head to look, but a recruit reacted a little slower, and when he raised his shield, he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and blood gushed out, and he frowned angrily: "Pull it down to treat the injury, and the people behind will fill the position, cheer up!" Below are the elite archers of the Wuhuan clan! ”

After shooting a round, Su Fuyan was a little dissatisfied, looked at the tall Guancheng and thought about it, and sent a loud Wuhuan warrior to shout in front of the pass: "I, Su Fuyan, have 30,000 warriors and dozens of condor archers, which is enough to break through the pass!" Kill you all! ”

"However, our king is merciful and does not want the warriors on both sides to shed blood and sacrifice, as long as you return the women, children, cattle and sheep that originally belonged to the Sumuyan tribe, we will leave!"

"Su Fuyan?" A hint of coldness rose on Liao Hua's face: "I didn't know your details, so I could only fight bloodily, but now, I sent the handle to my hand, it's too stupid not to use it!" ”

"Order, tie up all the kings, leaders, leaders, and children of Su Muyan to the gate, I want to see, does he Su Muyan dare to attack the city?!"

"No!" The guards around Liao Hua touched a cold sweat, his own lieutenant is becoming more and more like a general, and he really doesn't care about his reputation and does whatever he can! Using women and children to blackmail each other, once this method spreads, the reputation will be stinky!

After a while, Su Muyan heard the cries of many women and children and the scolding of Han soldiers coming from Guancheng, and one of the voices was so familiar: "Amma, come and save me-"

After these voices came out, the hateful voice of the Han army guard came immediately: "These are the families of your leader, and the families of your ordinary soldiers are waiting at the pass. Whoever dares to attack the city will be thrown down and reunited with you! ”

Poor Su Fuyan, the original idea of showing off his might was completely extinguished, and he had 30,000 soldiers, but he was powerless against Shanhaiguan, which had less than 2,000 guards, and no one wanted to force his family members to death.

The horn of the retreating army sounded, and Su Fu had no choice but to retreat and camp first, and then think about it.

"What to do?!" Su Fuyan roared loudly, his pearl was being bullied by the hateful Han army on the Shanhai Pass, but he couldn't do anything!

"The Han people have a saying, called fighting poison with poison!" Standing alone, his cold eyes made it difficult to look directly: "Aren't their Han army self-proclaimed teachers of benevolence and righteousness?" We took Han women and children nearby and took them to Shanhaiguan to exchange our families and see what they should do?! ”

"What if they don't change?" A Wuhuan general said that this method is really ordinary.

"Don't change? That is, these people are useless, just kill them! Xiao Lixun said lightly: "Go and arrest a group of people again, I heard that most of the guards in Shanhaiguan are county soldiers, that is to say, their families are in Youzhou!" Kill a batch, catch a batch, you can always make them unable to hold on! ”

"Good!" Su Muyan praised loudly, and the frustration that he was threatened against his daughter and that he was powerless was swept away: "You are the smartest warrior in our tribe, if this strategy can save my pearl, I will marry her to you!" ”

"King Xie!" Even the calm Xiao Lixun is difficult to control himself, Su Muyan has no heirs, Mingzhu is his only daughter, which means that when he gets old in the future, he will give up the position of the tribal king to himself!

Jixian County, the chamber of the Assassin's Palace. The night is as deep as ink, a light is like a bean, Liu Yu is discussing with Wei Yu and Zhaozhao.

"Report." Outside the hall, there was a sudden mournful shout, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. In the flickering shadow, a dusty messenger rushed in.

"My lord, Shanhaiguan is urgent."

"Speak!"

"Wuhuan Su Fuyan Department of 30,000 soldiers Koushan Customs, the guard general Liao Hua sent people to ask for help."

"Sure enough, Su Muyan went to Shanhaiguan!" Wei You gasped: "The siege of Jicheng has just been lifted, and the soldiers are tired, where do we have the spare strength to go to the rescue?!" ”

"It's better to-" Glancing at Liu Yu and Zhao, Wei You was a little hesitant.

"If you have any plans, you can tell Master Gongda." Zhao asked curiously.

Liu Yu glanced at the trick, vaguely guessed something, shook his head and said, "If it is to send back the women and children of Su Fuyan, this is absolutely impossible!" My great man has never groveled to a foreigner like this! ”

"Of course not!" Wei You's face turned red all of a sudden: "You means that you can send someone to inform Yan Poyu, who is fighting abroad, and let him return to the army to rescue Shanhaiguan, after all, he also has more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, and it should not be a problem to deal with the 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry of Su Fuyan's department, no matter how bad it is, he can also hold Shanhaiguan!" ”

"Envoy, the righteousness you explained to me just now is remembered in my heart, and I will definitely remind him from time to time when I go to Yan Poyu's side. Su Muyan's troops Koushan Customs, this matter is urgent, I will fly to inform Yan Poyu! He got up and said goodbye to Liu Yu.

"Go ahead! Take care! Liu Yu looked at the figure of Zhao and disappeared into the darkness, his heart was heavy, the same soldiers and horses, under the hands of Gongsun Zhan, could only hold on to the rebels, but in the hands of Yan Zhanshu, he could break the enemy and destroy the army, and even continue to grow his own strength, ask himself - such a person, such a hero, can he master it as an old man?!

"Huh?!" Yan Zhanshu successively received a report from Liao Hua and Zhaozhao, "Su Fuyan led 30,000 troops and is attacking Shanhaiguan?" There are less than 1,000 people in Guanzhong, and Yuan Jian has already used the tactic of threatening his family to delay time for the time being, waiting for Gao Ran's training recruits to return to the Guanguan on the one hand, and waiting for me to come back to help on the other hand. ”

"Good! Yuan Jian has really grown! Yan Zhanshu praised loudly.

Yan Rou on the side also nodded in approval, with a glint in her eyes, and reminded: "However, my lord, we must hurry up and rush back, otherwise if Shanhaiguan is breached, it will not only be the women and children of the Su Yan Department who will be lost, but also the women and children of the Wuyan Department will also be in the pass!" ”

"Not bad! The army is advancing, the army is dragging its feet, and it is impossible for the women, children, cattle and sheep of the difficult building department to give up. Zilong, Zimao! Yan Zhanshu weighed.

"The last general!" Zhao Yun and Xu Rong went out to listen to the order.
