Chapter 13: The Battle of the Mountain Pass

Wu Kui summoned the generals of his army to discuss the next move, and at this time, a spy hurriedly ran to the camp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the tent, the candle flame was burning, and the spy reported: "Report to Commander Wu, there is an ambush of the Huns 30 miles ahead of us. There are surrounded by mountains on three sides, only a junction in the south, a large open space in the middle is all a pile of rocks, and there are many Huns in ambush on the surrounding mountains, and it is difficult to know how many people there are, it is estimated that there are about 5,000 people. It is estimated that we were preparing for an ambush in the afternoon, and we have not yet retreated. ”

Wu Kui smiled and said, "I have a way, how about you listen to it?" It's nighttime, and we can't move each other, so why should I bother with them. I will now send a battalion of cloud and thunder soldiers, and each of them will send a company of cloud and thunder soldiers on each mountain, and they will be in chaos if they cause a fire, and if they cause a fire, they will run away, and we will wait for them at several intersections where they escaped. What do you think? Instead of going into the positions they have arranged, it is better to let them into the positions we have arranged, what do you think? ”

The generals agreed.

Wu Kui asked his spies to draw the picture on the sand table, and everyone roughly understood it. Wu Kuidao, without further ado, ordered a battalion of cloud and thunder soldiers, with enough cloud and thunder, and with this spy, directly went to bomb the ambush soldiers on the mountain. He personally led a division of swords and cavalry, closely following these cloud and thunder soldiers.

It was not long after dark, and the brigade ran west for 20 miles with the starlight, and it was all grass all the way, and it was very smooth. Then the team went north, the mountain roads gradually increased, the team could no longer run fast, and walked forward for another 5 miles, Wu Kui packed up the team, and ambushed here.

The cloud thunder soldiers continued to move forward, not daring to go too fast, for fear that the sound would be too loud and alarm the Huns on the mountain in front. After walking for a while, I saw the mountain pass, there were too many rocks, and all the people got off their horses.

The three company commanders led the team separately, each carrying two cloud thunders and full armor, and slowly touched the mountain pass. After a while, an explosion sounded from the innermost mountain, followed by a continuous loud bang on the mountain, and the flames were continuous, and the trees on the mountain soon caught fire.

There was chaos on the mountain, people shouted horses, and the battalion commander who was guarding the mountain pass looked at his brothers and ran out of it. The battalion commander gave an order and turned over his horse. was about to return to the place where the large army was, at this time, the Hun cavalry had already come to the mountain pass, taking advantage of the raging fire on the mountain, and saw it very clearly.

Although the Huns were embarrassed, they still held their scimitars in their hands, ready to rush towards the cloud thunder soldiers, only to see the battalion commander turn around, beat his horse and rushed towards the Huns' chaotic soldiers. There were two more booms, and the Huns were in a mess again, not daring to come forward again.

The battalion commander of the cloud and thunder soldiers turned his horse's head and shouted to retreat, and the whole battalion ran south smoothly.

As soon as they had run two miles, they saw piles of bonfires lit in front of them, and the battalion commander was overjoyed, and it seemed that his own people had already prepared an ambush on both sides, and then shouted: "The cloud thunder soldiers are back." The brothers behind him shouted with him, "The Cloud Thunder Soldiers have returned." ”

At this time, a few fast horses rushed out of the side, and someone rushed to the battalion commander and said, "Come with me, Commander Wu is waiting to celebrate with you." Yun Lei Bing followed the man for a few miles, and along the way, he only felt that there should be a lot of people on both sides of the road, and there was a bonfire not far away. However, Yun Lei Bing now felt as if he was being awarded a medal under the attention of the whole army, and he was even more arrogant when he knew that there were onlookers.

After a while, all the Yunlei soldiers were brought to Wu Kui, and Wu Kui laughed and said, "Gubei battalion commander, what a real warrior." The battalion commander stood straight and said: "Our army is all warriors, and our Yunlei soldiers serve under the command of Commander Wu, and they are not worthy of being warriors, and my Gubei is not worth mentioning." ”

Wu Kui smiled and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, you go down first and find a place to watch our cavalry perform." ”

Gu Bei was very interested and asked, "Commander Wu, on the way back to me, are there our sabre teams on both sides?" ”

Wu Kui nodded and said, "Why did you find out?" ”

Gu Beidao: "It's discovered, but even if the Hun cavalry finds that it's useless, they will become ghosts under the knife by then." ”

Wu Kuiyi waved his hand and said, "I'll give you a big credit first, let's go down first." ”

Gubei knew that he couldn't delay Wu Kui's command at this time, so he withdrew with his own men and horses.

At this time, there were already Hun cavalry, coming south from the mountain pass, some did not even have horses, only ran south on foot, no team, no command, seeing the piles of bonfires on the road, the Huns were even more frightened, and accelerated forward. Seeing that there are more and more Hun soldiers entering the encirclement, the Pingzhou soldiers on both sides heard a loud noise, the Huns in the middle are almost frightened to kneel, they are panicking, I don't know where there is an accident, only listen to the ambush soldiers on both sides, each holding a saber, rushing towards the Huns running in the middle of the road.

The Huns were already frightened birds, they had no fighting spirit, and before they had time to surrender, the saber had already pierced their hearts. Those who did not have horses were even more miserable, and they were beheaded without even running a few steps.

The Huns were like panicked rabbits, rushing left and right, and there were Pingzhou sabers waiting everywhere for them to send to the edge of the knife.

Seeing that the Huns who took the lead could not break through the ambush and turned back, the Pingzhou soldiers followed closely behind, constantly stabbing the Huns with their sabers.

Wu Kui saw clearly that the Huns no longer had the slightest combat effectiveness, perhaps the power of cloud and thunder frightened their courage, thinking that it was like a god descending again, and they were at a loss.

Wu Kui threw all of his men into the battlefield as a reserve force, and he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.

The fire on the mountain in the distance is getting bigger and bigger, the spring and summer wind on the grassland is very strong, and it does not stop at night, at this time the fire is getting bigger and bigger by the wind, although the sound of fighting here is shaking the sky, you can still hear the sound of people shouting horses on the side of the mountain in the distance.

The last reserve has a regiment, with the battalion as a unit, divided into three parts, east, center, and west, and the three battalions are each lined up in three teams, it seems that a company and a team, each holding a saber flat, with the help of the bonfire on the ground, looking at the road in front, directly from the mountain pass to the north, the Huns in front of them have become stragglers, how is it the opponent of these warriors who are waiting for work.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the Huns in the mountain pass looked back at the raging fire, and looked forward at their brothers, and none of them broke through the layers of Pingzhou soldiers and horses.

Some people began to throw down their weapons and kneel on the ground, and some of them could speak Chinese, and shouted repeatedly: "Surrender, we surrender." ”

When the Pingzhou soldiers saw that someone in front of them had surrendered, they stopped killing, and this time, the remaining Huns did not resist anymore, and all knelt on the ground.

The Pingzhou army and horses were no longer killed, and some people came forward to take these captives and concentrate them to the south.

The east is white, the sky is already dark, and the battlefield is no longer noisy. Wu Kui inquired about the battle situation at night, the fire on the mountain is still burning, and there are still Huns on it, it is estimated that there are not many people alive, if they are not burned to death, they will be smoked to death. More than 1,000 people were killed on the battlefield and more than 1,000 were captured. There are also many people whose whereabouts are unknown, not in the mountains, and it seems that they have fled the battlefield.
