There is chaos in Tongguan City!
The Luoyang army outside the city was unexpected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Deng Qiang and the others looked at each other, unable to guess what was going on in Tongguan City.
Suddenly!
There was a rattling sound, and the gate of Tongguan, which had been dusty for more than a month, was opened!
The sound of shouting and fighting came from afar!
At the city gate, the smoke was thick and it was impossible to see clearly.
Deng Qiang's squinted eyes suddenly widened, and he was about to rush to the city gate with a shake of the reins!
"Deng Shuai can't!"
"Deng Shuai is the main general in the army, and he can't be in danger!"
Deng Qiang roared: "The lord will be afraid of death, how can the soldiers be brave?" Rush with me! ā
Deng Qiang waved his horse and killed the Tongguan city gate!
At the gate of the city, two generals were fighting fiercely.
One of them, with a purple face and long hair, a thin waist and shoulders, a nine-point peach blossom beast under his crotch, and a black gold folding iron knife in his palm, is the Tongguan guard, and the flower knife will be Wei Wentong!
Deng Qiang was surprised that the fierce general who fought with Wei Wentong was also wearing the uniform of the Xiliang Army!
Wei Wentong is brave, and the fierce generals on the opposite side are already difficult to support.
Seeing Deng Qiang rushing over, the fierce general shouted: "Deng Shuai, come and help!" ā
It looks familiar, but the fierce general, unkempt, is really unrecognizable.
"I'm Shi Jin!"
"Shi Dalang?!"
"It's me! Come and help! ā
Shi Jin's moves were out of order, Deng Qiang didn't have time to think about it, he rushed over, and the horse lance poked Wei Wentong directly!
The horse lance is rushing forward, and the flower knife will hurriedly swing the knife to block.
Deng Qiang's strength was fierce, Wei Wentong's knife was not completely blocked, and he hurriedly avoided his body and barely dodged a blow!
Deng Qiang took the lead in one move, and he was unforgiving!
The horse lance and tiger were vigorous, forcing Wei Wentong to only have the power to parry, and there was no ability to fight back.
Shi Jin got a chance to breathe, waved the three-pointed knife, and also rushed up.
How dare Wei Wentong use one enemy and two enemies, make a false move, and leave with a horse.
In the city, there was chaos.
There was thick smoke and a messy frame. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Wei Wentong threw off Deng Qiang and Shi Jin and went west.
It's important to occupy the castle!
Deng Qiang and Shi Jin killed and dispersed the Xiliang army of Guanmen, and Ge Shuhan led Hongnong's light cavalry and rushed into Guancheng.
There was chaos in the pass, and the defenders of the southern city were also in chaos.
Wei Chigong also led his troops to rush into the city!
Half of the defenders of Tongguan fled west with Wei Wentong to Zheng County. The Lord will be defeated, and the remnants will have no intention of resisting. The remaining Xiliang defenders and wounded soldiers, totaling nearly 5,000 people, all knelt down.
Deng Qiang organized fire extinguishing on the one hand, and deployed defense on the other.
Tongguan City, the western wall has not yet been completed.
In order to prevent the Xiliang army from counterattacking, Deng Qiang ordered Wei Chi Gong and Ge Shuhan to go out of Guancheng to clear the nearby enemy army, and set up a large camp in the west of Guancheng to protect Guancheng.
Ordered someone to inform Guo Kan from the waterway and retreat to Tongguan.
At the same time, report to the lord Liu Mang.
ā¦ā¦
After deploying everything, Deng Qiang hurriedly went to find Shi Jin.
Deng Qiang was originally the commander of the Hedong Baibo Army under Han Xian, and Shi Jin was the salt lord of Chaogai Tianwangzhai. Both of them had eaten salt pond rice and had known each other for a long time.
As soon as they met, Deng Qiang slapped Shi Jin excitedly with his big hand. "Okay, Dalang! How did you get around it?! ā
Conquering Tongguan, Deng Qiang was excited. This slap made Shi Jin grin.
Shi Jin made a miraculous achievement and was even more excited. "Over the mountain!"
"Over the mountain?" Deng Qiang's eyes widened in shock.
"Yes! Brother Deng took us over the mountain to the back of Tongguan! ā
"Brother Deng? Which Deng Xiaoge? ā
"Deng Ai Deng Shizai!"
Deng Qiang frowned suspiciously.
Deng Ai's matter was only known to Liu Mang and a few staff members around him. Although Deng Qiang is the coach of Hongnong, he is not clear.
"Tell me about the mountain?" In Deng Qiang's view, the Qinling Mountains are an insurmountable natural danger, and it is difficult to leap with wings.
Shi Jin grinned triumphantly. "Hehe, don't hide it from Deng Shuai, we're rolling over, hahaha......"
"Rolling here? Hahaha......" Deng Qiang also laughed, and became more interested in Shi Jin's crossing of the Qinling Mountains.
Deng Qiang asked again and again, but Shi Jin's stomach growled. Wailing: "Deng Shuai, let's get us something to eat first......
Deng Qiang ordered someone to prepare a hot meal, and Shi Jin summoned all the brothers over.
"Deng Shuai, this is your home, Deng Shizai Deng Xiaobrother."
"Hey...... Deng Ai see Deng Shuai. ā
Deng Ai was not tall and very thin. was not good-looking, covered in mud, and stammered when he spoke, which did not give Deng Qiang a good impression.
"Brother Deng has any position in the army?"
"Hey...... Tooth goalkeeper. ā
Tooth goalkeeper?
Deng Qiang was even more puzzled.
The tooth keeper is just a low-level general in the army, and Deng Qiang's subordinate tooth keeper grabs a lot of them.
Deng Qiang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shi Jin. Xindao: Shi Jin, you are also a dignified Luoyang captain, why did you make a deputy for a tooth keeper?
"Deng Shuai!"
A dirty guy jumped in front of Deng Qiang.
"Are you...... Li Wei?! ā
"Hey, hey! It's me! ā
Li Wei is the personal entourage of the lord Liu Mang, and of course Deng Qiang knows him.
Shi Jin, Li Wei and Deng Ai, the three of them are tall, short, fat and thin, but they have one thing in common, they are all unkempt and sloppy!
"Tut, back in the Salt Pond, if you want to say that you are chic, Shi Dalang and Yong Saburo are the first to be recommended, why did you become like this now?"
"Hey, hey......" Shi Jin and Li Wei, although they were sloppy and embarrassed, didn't care and smiled happily.
A few people chatted while eating.
Deng Ai's position is low, his appearance is not good, and Deng Qiang does not value him very much.
Deng Ai and Deng Qiang were not familiar with each other, and it was difficult to speak, so they simply ate with their heads bored and tried not to interject.
Shi Jin and Li Weineng talked and told Deng Qiang about the process of crossing the Qinling Mountains and attacking Tongguan......
ā¦ā¦
Deng Ai said to the lord Liu Mang: There are only people in the world who dare not walk the road, and there is no road that cannot be walked.
Deng Ai Shijin and Li Wei, leading nearly a thousand foot soldiers, walked on a road that no one dared to take, and it was almost impassable!
Qinling is a general term for a large area of mountains.
Deng Ai and others, climb steep walls and go down dangerous ditches. Trek through thorns and mountain streams. All the way you go, it's all uninhabited.
The food they brought could only last a few days, and they could only rely on wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy their hunger. Fearing that they would expose their tracks and catch game, they didn't dare to make a fire to barbecue. If you want to eat, you can only drink blood and eat it alive!
These, however, are not the biggest difficulties.
The hardest part is the cliffs!
The reason why the Qinling Mountains are considered impossible to cross is because there are several ravines in between, and there is no way to go at all!
towering steep slopes, ladders, ropes; Grasp the hands and feet, grasp it firmly, and still be able to climb.
The steep slope is the most dangerous!
As the saying goes, it's easier to go up than to down.
Descending a steep slope, it is inconvenient to grasp the hands and feet, and if you miss a little, you will fall down and break your bones!
On several occasions, the soldiers had lost confidence, and many of them retreated.
Deng Ai, who was silent, spoke: "Hey...... On the way back, there are also cliffs! Ay...... Onward, die! Return, or die! Be unstoppable! ā
The subordinate soldiers are not greedy for life and afraid of death.
I understand the truth.
However, there is no way at all, what to do?
"Hey...... No way, get out! Ay...... If you don't die, you win! ā
Use a blanket and hay to cover key areas such as the head, chest, abdomen, elbows and knees.
Deng Ai took the lead and rolled down the steep slope!
Climb the cliff, roll the steep slope, and the casualties are more than half!
Deng Ai and the others, after countless life and death difficulties, finally crossed the Qinling Mountains!
Crossing the Qinling Mountains does not mean victory.
Capturing Tongguan is the ultimate task! (To be continued.) )
