Outside the Iron Horse Pass, on the top of the hill behind Chen Bing's camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A huge ancient tree, with thick roots protruding between the rocks, a few branches sticking out of the cliff horizontally, the canopy thick as a cloud, and the shade of the tree almost covered the entire flat ground of the mountaintop.

The mountain was not the tallest mountain, but there were countless hills to its left and right, and several higher peaks towered a mile away. However, this mountain has a wide range of sight, and you can see the whole picture of Tiema Pass at a glance. And it is the most convenient for Song Qi, this place is only about a mile away from the camp in a straight line.

Under the tree there was a thick, bare root, which arched from between a few stones, and then into the ground through the cracks of others, like an arched bridge. Song Qi sat at the root of the tree, staring blankly into the distance, motionless, as if it were a sculpture.

Mao Yong Ao Leopard sat lazily on a stone not far away, with his back against the thick roots of the tree, holding his sword in his arms, silent, surprisingly quiet. They knew that Song Qi was upset, so they didn't bother him.

Their hostess, Mingyu, wants them to stay around Song Qi and protect his safety. Now they are doing their job.

For a few days, Song Qi was like this, with a sad face and a helpless face. Every day, he had to climb to the top of the hill behind the camp and look in the direction of the Iron Horse Pass, ten miles away, hoping to find a breakthrough and tear this difficult bone.

However, every time it is in vain, I can only look at Guan and sigh.

Beneath the ridge is a makeshift camp with thousands of gray-white tents and a wall of wooden stakes around it.

In front of the camp was a flat land seven or eight miles wide, and this flat land was the battlefield where they had suffered a crushing defeat a few days ago. The battlefield was hastily cleaned by both sides, and most of the corpses of the soldiers killed on both sides (of course, mainly Chen Bing) were removed and buried, but there were still some corpse remains that could not be cleaned and congealed blood clots, which became a delicious meal for eagles and wolves at this moment.

Several black eagles hovered over the battlefield, and a dozen wild wolves on the ground were greedily gnawing at the remains of the corpses of the remaining war dead.

At the end of the flat land, there are endless mountain ranges, which take on a gray feeling under the sun. The Iron Horse Pass is located between several high mountains, the gray-black city wall stretches from the Iron Horse Pass halfway up the mountain to the mountains on both sides, winding and undulating between the green and dense mountain forests, and the countless golden roofs that stand in the pass are particularly conspicuous against the background of the black city wall and the cyan mountains, shining with golden light in the sun.

The Iron Horse Pass is just a small pass. However, with Zang Long's chain of ironclad horses, it seems to have become an impregnable wall, an insurmountable moat, and a thunder pool that no hostile force can cross.

Song Qi's brain was almost torn, and he couldn't think of a way to break the iron-armored chain horse. If you can't break the Iron Armor Chain Horse, it is impossible to attack the Iron Horse Pass head-on, unless you go to death.

Song Qi thought that in many novels, there is a plot of using a hook and sickle to hook a horse's feet to break an iron-armored chain of horses, but he quickly shook his head.

Zang Long's ironclad chain horse was covered with hard iron armor from head to hoof, and there was no gap for the hook and sickle to stretch out at all. Besides, the thunderous impact of the ironclad army made it difficult for people to get close at all, and even if they were lucky enough to find a gap, it would be impossible to poke into it smoothly. I don't know if it's because the ironclad horses in the novel are too rough and clumsy, or if their hook and sickle are too magical. If the hook and sickle can hook a horse's feet, then his Changge should be able to do it too. If he could, how could he have been so badly defeated? Therefore, when facing the thunderous power of Zang Long's ironclad chain horse, he could only laugh at the statement of hooking the horse's feet.

It seems that in order to break through the Iron Horse Pass, you can only attack from the side. You can only win by surprise.

Song Qi's gaze slowly moved from the lofty mountains on both sides of the Iron Horse Pass, and finally landed on the golden top of the tower of the Iron Horse Pass, as if he was attracted by the dazzling golden light, and did not move away for a long time.

It seemed that the golden light ignited his inspiration, making him suddenly think of some good idea, he Huo Ran stood up from the root of the tree, patted the dust on his buttocks, tilted his head to Mao Yong, and smiled mysteriously, "Go down the mountain, go to the meeting!" ”

Song Qi's big tent in the army.

It is an oval-shaped white tent, which is quite simplely furnished, with a long wooden table in the center acting as a handsome table, on one side of which is placed a quiver, and on the other side is placed the four treasures of the study.

This tent was much smaller than Kim Jong-lei's Chinese army tent, but slightly larger than Song Qi's original tent, enough to hold twenty people for a meeting.

Song Qi sat behind the handsome case, crossed his legs, pinched his chin with one hand, lowered his head and pondered, his expression was quite solemn. More than a dozen generals sat around the big tent, all with solemn expressions.

From the right is Sima Fu Haowei, the main book Yu Man, the army Yin Tie, the deputy general Diandian, and the representative of the family Mao Yong.

On the left, Lieutenants Solo, Li Su, Bagan, and Cha Nenggui (these are all standard for pioneer officers.) Because Song Qi's military rank is a junior general, the largest of his subordinates is only a captain. Song Qi's vanguard was formed improvised, and most of his subordinates were temporarily recruited from other generals. ), as well as generals Miao Feng, Lai Ming, Shu Fu, (these people have the rank of general, which is greater than Song Qi's military rank, but their military rank is sealed by the Emperor of the Patriotic Emperor, after surrendering to Song Qi, the military rank is naturally worthless, and can only be heard under Song Qi.) ）。

This was not the first time Song Qi had convened a military conference, and he had held several meetings since his expedition. Previous meetings had been lighthearted and festive, but this time, the atmosphere inside the tent was rather heavy, and the air seemed to freeze.

Song Qi raised his eyes, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of the people in the big tent, and then he cleared his throat, and his voice was low, as if he had been weathered: "Everyone, in the battle of Tiema Pass, our army killed more than 8,000 soldiers!" More than 8,000 people! That's almost half of the generals of our army! These 8,000 lives were buried alive under the iron hooves of the iron-clad horses! His tone was a little excited and a little trembling, his eyes were filled with moist tears, blurring his vision, he pounded the table with his fist in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "We must break this damn iron-armored chain of horses and avenge the brothers who died in battle!" ”

The deputy general Diandian clenched his fists and said angrily: "Yes! You must break the iron-clad chain of horses and avenge the dead brothers! ”

The crowd echoed the clamour: "We must break the iron-clad chain of horses and avenge the dead brothers!" ”

Captain Li Su suddenly shook his head and said, "But this iron-clad chain horse is covered with iron armor all over its body, leaving no room for attack. In addition, the speed of the attack is fast, like the power of a thousand thunderbolts, and it is unstoppable when it collides! It's so hard to break it! ”

The crowd chimed in: "Yes, it's too difficult! (To be continued.) )
