Chapter 15 The Qiang people

said that Liu Yan drank wine in the middle of the night next to the tombs of Wenbo and Bian Kui. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info fell asleep drunk, and I don't know when I was moved to the barracks. After getting up, I only felt a splitting headache, and I wanted to call Wenbo to get a glass of water. But after shouting for a long time, no one answered, and after looking at the empty bed board, Liu Yan remembered that Wenbo had left.

At this time, Liu Yan really wanted to smoke the cigarette, and Liu Yan had been sad since the accident, and the whole person was restless and depressed. I put on a casual dress and went out.

Besides, all the soldiers in Liu Chen's tent gathered together, and the atmosphere was serious. In fact, this meeting is nothing more than the matter of sending troops to Liu Yanhe. The soldiers talked about everything, and most of them were unwilling to seal the frontier and take Liu Yan in the vanguard. And Liu Chen was also very distressed at this time, the time to send troops was getting closer and closer, but the vanguard was undecided.

Shuzhong, Giant Gorge.

Giant's Gorge gets its name from its shape. Up close, it looks like a normal canyon, but from a distance, it looks like a giant lying on its back. Speaking of this Giant Gorge, the Qin army is no stranger. In 316 BC, King Qin Hui led his troops into Shuzhong, and the Qiang people resisted vigorously. However, the iron cavalry of the Qin State was still devastated, all the way into Shu to the Giant Gorge.

King Qin Hui saw that the terrain of the Giant Gorge was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he camped here, but in the middle of the night, the soldiers heard the roar of the giant, and the people there were all terrified. Since then, the Qin army has not camped here, but it is the throat of Shu and Hanzhong, so the Qin people will not ignore it. Only occasionally send a few people to patrol.

By now, Shuzhong has become the reserve granary of Qin, so the people of Qin have gradually reduced the number of troops stationed in Shuzhong. A few days ago, a team of Qin troops escorting military rations in Shuzhong was ambushed, and a team of 300 people fled back with five people.

When the king of Qin heard this, he was furious and vowed to destroy the Guqiang clan, so he sent 10,000 soldiers from Liu Chen's department to suppress it. However, the Qin soldiers in Shu were scarce, and they were not as familiar with the terrain as the Qiang people. Before Liu Chen sent troops, he had already retreated to the area of Giant Gorge.

"Someone! The Assassins shouted from the Qin army camp in the distance.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a black shadow running out of a big tent, and with a strong leg, he jumped three feet high. Then he waved his hands, tossed left and right like an ape, and went directly to the lookout platform of Qinying Giant Gorge. He looked down, and then jumped left and right, as if he was in a no-man's land.

"Death to the Captain!" There was another terrible shout from the middle tent, and the whole barracks was in chaos.

"Enemy attack!"

Then I saw a few dead soldiers dressed as Qiang people gradually leaking out from the Giant Gorge in the distance, and I saw the black-clothed man who had just assassinated the lieutenant standing in the middle with a bow in his hand, looking indifferently at the soldiers on the lookout.

I saw that my hands were raised, and the bow was as full as the moon. There was a screech, and the soldier's eyebrows were pierced by an arrow and he fell off the lookout.

The man shouted loudly, and suddenly all the Qiang people all over the field jumped out of the Giant Gorge, most of them wearing their famous costumes and carrying spears. I screamed in my mouth, and I didn't know what it meant.

The man in black took out a dagger, swung it into the sky, and shouted. The Qiang people all rushed to the Qin army camp like crazy.

Although the leader of the Qin army died, many years of good sergeant quality were reflected at this time. The sergeants were in a mess, set up their military formations, and quietly looked at the Qiang people with crazy faces.

At this time, at the back of the Qin army's camp, a person who looked like a general said to the five scouts in front of him: Transmit my following words to my general. Du Wei is dead, the Qiang people have been planning for a long time, the Giant Gorge will be lost, I am careless, I hope the general is careful.

"Hurry up, don't delay, go"

The five scouts mounted their horses and came out of the side door, kicking up dust.

But when the general came to the front camp and wanted to speak, he saw the arrows that covered the sky and the sun and stood with a whistling sound. In the blink of an eye, the Qin army was killed and wounded, and wails arose.

said that it was too late, and the Qiang people were killed, and most of the Qin army was separated before they recovered from the ten thousand arrows.

The general shouted and drew his sword and stepped forward, only to feel that a black shadow floated in front of him and had been cut in half.

The whole battalion of 1,000 men was slaughtered in less than a quarter of an hour. The man in black stood expressionlessly on the killing field and watched the Qiang people kill the undead Qin soldiers one by one, and when he snorted coldly and was about to leave, he was stopped by a Qiang man.

The Qiang people spoke in Chinese: My lord, five people escaped. Killed four, and the remaining one slipped away. Do you want.....

The man in black waved his hand: No, let him go, it's better to let the Qin people know.

In the early morning of the next day, Xianyang City.

"Presumptuous!" I saw that the King of Qin heard that the Qin army guarding the Giant Gorge was annihilated, and after only one scout escaped, the tiger was stunned, grabbed the bamboo and threw it on the ground. Frightened, the surrounding eunuchs and maids knelt on the ground and trembled vigorously.

"Why hasn't Liu Chen sent troops yet?" King Qin asked

I saw the closure of the city and bowed forward: Back to the king, it was originally scheduled to send troops tomorrow night.

"Pass the book and order it to send troops as soon as it receives the order!"

"Your Majesty, it will take a day and night from Xianyang to Baicheng without stopping."

"It's okay, if the general who guards Shu can't do it for a few days, I'll kill him first, you can quickly send the order to go!"

The closure of the city was another bow, "Wow", and then hastily retreated, and the order was issued. Immediately, he rode a flying horse out of Xianyang City and rushed to Baicheng.

At this time, 10,000 iron horsemen had been assembled in the camp of the Qin army in Baicheng. Seven thousand infantry, three thousand cavalry. Because Liu Chen knew about the Giant Gorge before he received the letter in Xianyang. Therefore, I quickly selected the troops overnight, and planned to send troops to Shuzhong today.

Liu Yan and Feng Jiang couldn't be the strikers because they made a big fuss in the ring. However, Liu Chen ordered the two to be cavalry captains on the grounds of atonement for their sins, and went with the army. And Liu Chen was afraid that the Chu army's hasty withdrawal might not be so simple, so he did not go. The post of general was awarded to a confidant.

Liu Yan was wearing a big hug armor at this time, looking so funny riding a horse in front of the cavalry team, looking at Liu Chen standing in the distance, his heart couldn't help but warm. Although Liu Yan has always been grief-stricken since Qin Guolai, he is also accompanied by good people, and Liu Chen is also one.

Seeing Liu Chen wave his hand, the troops moved, and Liu Yan patted his horse and walked with the team to the journey to Shuzhong.
