Chapter 1759: Serial
Although the defenders of the pass resisted desperately, the Northwest Army poured into the pass like a tide, and the defenders were completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
The Northwest Army that attacked Xigu Pass this time was the elite soldiers of the Northwest, most of whom had been trained with real swords and guns on the battlefield, and although the defenders of Xigu Pass had always undergone strict training, their actual combat experience was now much weaker than that of the Northwest Army.
Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty and the stability of the northwest, there have been few large-scale wars in the Great Qin Empire, not to mention that there are few swords and soldiers in this extremely strong pass.
When the two armies are fighting, although morale is extremely important, when fighting with real swords and guns, combat skills and experience are also the key to victory or defeat.
The morale of the defenders is not above the Northwest Army, the defenders have always believed that the pass is as solid as a rock and cannot be attacked, if it is said that it has super self-confidence before, the morale is flourishing, but when the bronze gate is opened, the Northwest Army rushes into the pass, and the morale of the defenders is like a rainbow in an instant and suffers a fatal blow.
When the Northwest Army charged, the losses were not small, the defenders had the upper hand, and the Northwest soldiers held back their bellies, and now they rushed into the pass, which was to pour out the anger in their stomachs, and the morale of both sides was lost, and the Northwest Army had the upper hand.
Within the pass, thousands of officers and soldiers on both sides gathered, and every corner of the geometry was full of figures, and the Northwest Army had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, whether it was in the overall or partial fighting, it occupied the absolute upper hand.
Many defenders knew that the general trend had gone, and since the Northwest Army had rushed in, there was no possibility of repelling the Northwest Army, but they continued to fight, which was nothing more than a sacrifice for the country.
Although it is true that some soldiers stubbornly resisted and had the intention of dying for the country, for most of them, there was really no need to continue to resist when the general trend had gone.
Many soldiers had already abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the Northwest Army, while some diehards retreated to the juncture and put up their last desperate resistance.
A night of fierce fighting, countless casualties, there were only more than 200 people left around Da Xizhang, who had been forced to retreat to the edge of the wall, and the black-pressed northwest soldiers surrounded in a semi-arc, trapping Da Xizhang and others.
Da Xizhang's drunkenness has long disappeared, and the fierce battle has ended, and his whole body is already scarred.
Originally, the defenders inside and outside the Xigu Pass also had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and they were very familiar with the terrain of the pass.
However, the reinforcements who came from the garrison were blocked by the bronze gate, and they could not enter the reinforcements at all, so they could only watch in the pass.
"General!" He Changqing was also already in blood-stained battle armor, holding a big sword, staring at the Northwest Army like a tiger and wolf, and said in a deep voice: "We have no way out, we can only fight to the death with them!" As soon as he raised his arm, he was about to lead the remaining hundreds of soldiers to rush up, Da Xizhang had already raised his hand to grab his arm, He Changqing was stunned, looked at Da Xizhang, and saw that Da Xizhang's expression was very calm, and he couldn't help but whisper: "General!" â
Da Xizhang looked at the black and oppressive Northwest Army, and said in a deep voice: "Where is Xuanyuan Shengcai?" Let him come to me! â
The Northwest Army is all eyeing the enemy, staring at Da Xizhang, just like a pack of wolves staring at their prey, and they may rush forward at any time.
"Xuanyuan Shengcai!" Seeing that no one was paying attention, Da Xizhang shouted loudly: "You shameless villain, if you don't give Lao Tzu to get out, even if Lao Tzu dies, you have to see what kind of face you despicable villain is now!" â
In the crowd, a cold voice came out: "You want to see me?" In the middle of the voice, the crowd parted a gap, and a person walked slowly, his hair scattered, his armor was torn, and his body was covered with blood, as if he had just climbed up from a sea of blood, and his face had been covered by blood, and he could only see the general outline clearly.
Seeing Xuanyuan Shengcai like this, Da Xizhang was stunned at first, and then there was a look of anger in his eyes, he raised his hand and pointed forward, "Xuanyuan Shengcai, you shameless villain with three swords, I can't imagine that you don't even recognize your ancestors what you did today, how can you be worthy of the prince of the country, how can you be worthy of the saint?" â
"Guogong?" Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled contemptuously: "I'm just afraid that he won't have the face to see me!" â
Da Xizhang was stunned.
"Da Xizhang, you are a good man." Xuanyuan Shengcai said slowly: "If the world is peaceful, you and I may be able to really drink and talk, but it's a pity that the troubled times are in charge, you and I are our own masters!" â
Da Xizhang had multiple wounds on his legs, limped forward two steps, and said sharply: "You are such a villain, blame me for being blind, and I actually sit with you!" â
At this moment, a noisy sound was heard, and a shouting voice came from behind Xuanyuan Shengcai: "Go, go!" Many people were a little strange and looked over, but they saw several soldiers pushing and shoving a middle-aged man in a wide robe, who was in his early forties, with his hands tied behind his back, his crown and hat long gone, his hair in a messy bun, his clothes disheveled, and his face full of horror.
Stumbled by the soldiers, saw spears and knives in all directions, the armor was cold, and the middle-aged man looked frightened, but there was a trance in his eyes.
Suddenly seeing the bloody Xuanyuan Shengcai, the man was taken aback, then saw the outline clearly, and said in a lost voice: "General Xuanyuan Xuanyuan!" â
"Squire-sama, did you sleep well this night?" Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "Disturb your rest, and please don't blame Lord Squire!" â
"General Xuanyuan, what the hell is going on?" Huang Yan looked dazed, perhaps frightened, his mind was in a trance, and he didn't see what was going on for a while.
When Da Xizhang saw Huang Yan, his eyes showed anger, and he laughed angrily, and said sharply: "Lord Huang, this is the good thing you did, Your Highness asked you to go to the northwest to order him to raise troops, but you brought a big traitor to the imperial court!" â
"Traitor?"
"Lord Huang, can't you see that you are being treated as a fool by Xuanyuan Shengcai, he is a traitor sent by Chu Huan." Da Xizhang sneered: "You Huang Da kept saying that this person was forced to flee here, but this person deliberately used you to enter the customs together!" â
Huang Yan's whole body shook violently, he was not a fool after all, he had already understood a little at this time, and said in a lost voice: "General Xuanyuan Xuanyuan, you have betrayed the imperial court?" â
Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "With such a bullshit court, why is there any need to save zĂ i?" â
"You!" Huang Yan finally understood at this time that he had become a clown who Xuanyuan Sheng had just played with in the applause, and his heart was suddenly angry, but he thought of something again, and asked: "So, in order to enter the pass, you cost Lu Cunxiao's life?" â
"Lu Cunxiao?" Xuanyuan Shengcai said lightly: "If nothing else, Lu Cunxiao is now gathering troops and horses with General Pei!" â
"Impossible!" Huang Yan immediately said: "I saw with my own eyes that you killed him with your dagger and pierced him in the heart!" â
Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "If you don't act in a scene, how can you believe me?" If you hadn't led us into the pass, how could Da Xizhang believe that we had come defeated? That knife did stab down, but it didn't stab him in the heart, if you had the courage to go over to check, you would find that the part of the stabbing was still a little distance from the heart In order to implement this plan, Lu Cunxiao was willing to take risks, and when I stabbed it down, I was also worried about hurting him! â
Huang Yan immediately understood, but Da Xizhang looked at Huang Yan at this time as if he was looking at a clown.
"In this way, the plan you said to assassinate Pei Ji!" Huang Yan's voice couldn't help but tremble.
Xuanyuan Shengcai said lightly: "From the time you found me that night, I knew that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was coming, and I was still thinking about delaying you for a few days and making a detailed plan, but Chu Du had already returned to the northwest at that time, and just after you left, Chu Du had already arrived in Jiazhou City, and we made a detailed plan that night!" â
Huang Yan only felt cold in his hands and feet.
"Assassinating General Pei is just part of the plan." Xuanyuan Shengcai said lightly: "You go to the northwest, and there are gods and clothes by your side, I thought about using you to enter the pass, but by your side, there can't be gods and guards." The people of the Divine Guards have always been cautious and cautious, and their senses are extremely keen, if you don't wipe out all the people around you, there is a good chance that the plan will fall into their hands! â
Huang Yan understood: "So you deliberately said that you wanted to assassinate Pei Ji and laid a trap, but that trap was not set up for Pei Ji, but for the god clothes guard?" â
Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "You can be considered to understand now. You don't want to think about it, Lu Cunxiao disappeared suddenly, if Ben Jiang really wanted to kill General Pei, with General Pei's shrewdness, how could he fall into the trap lightly? Originally, we also wanted to make the plan more complicated, so that you would not have the slightest doubt, but the time was pressing, and we didn't have much time, not to mention! He looked at Huang Yan contemptuously: "To deal with a character like you, it doesn't need to be too complicated!" â
Huang Yan was ashamed and annoyed, and regretted: "It's just that I didn't listen to Zhang Baihu's words at that time, he was suspicious of you at that time!" His face was full of chagrin.
"So Zhang Haizhu and others must be caught in one go." Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled and said: "Without the Divine Guard, you are deaf and blind, let us fiddle with it!" â
"Xuanyuan Shengcai!" Huang Yan said angrily: "This official believes you, just because you are a child of the Xuanyuan family, this official didn't expect that you don't even care about your own family, you are not only a traitor and a traitor, but also a traitor of the Xuanyuan family, you are a disloyal and unfilial person, what face does you have in the world?" â
"Unfilial?" In Xuanyuan Shengcai's already red eyes, a cold light suddenly burst out, and his voice was as cold as a knife: "It is for the sake of loyalty and filial piety that Lao Tzu wants to take Xigu Pass!" âR1058
