Chapter 7: A Deadly Crisis

Outside the Montessori Ranch, a team of 100 cavalry was waiting for them, and they were in good spirits at a glance, and they looked like elite soldiers. Hundreds of cavalry were lined up in turn, neat and solemn. The leader was a bright red war horse, like a fierce beast galloping out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.

In the venue, a bearded man in his mid-40s was talking to a young man in his twenties. The two talked as they walked, and it wasn't long before they came to the cavalry at the gate of the ranch.

I only listened to the bearded man's advice: "Brother Xian, this time to Yanmen Pass is dangerous for the soldiers, if there is a place for the foolish brother, the good brother must send someone to report as soon as possible." In addition, when the virtuous brother arrives at Yanmen Pass, if you are embarrassed by Han Tao, you will tell him that you are my brother Menglie, and I think he will take care of you in my face."

"Brother, don't worry, the younger brother must be careful, and when we defeat the Huns, our brothers are drinking and talking." The young man said with a pale face.

"A word is a certainty, please drink this cup with the virtuous brother, it is considered that the foolish brother has practiced it for the virtuous brother, and I hope the virtuous brother will be victorious and successful." The middle-aged man brought a bowl of wine to the young man and said with a solemn expression.

The young man did not shirk, took the wine bowl and drank it all, and then said: "The younger brother will borrow the good words of the elder brother, the green mountains will not change the green water for a long time, and there will be a period in the future." ”

After that, the young man clasped his hands into fists and gave a deep salute, and his expression seemed to be quite reluctant. These two people are Meng Lie and Liu Jin.

"Brother Xian must take care of his health, Brother Fool is waiting for Brother Xian's good news at home. Meng Yuan, you must protect my little brother, you know? Meng Lie still said with some unease, and then said to a man in the prime of life who was about thirty years old in the cavalry team.

The middle-aged man gave a salute on his horse and said, "Don't worry, master, the little one will definitely protect General Liu." Although he was given to Liu Jin by Meng Lie as a private soldier, the middle-aged man Meng Yuan still called Meng Lie as his master, obviously not convinced by Liu Jin.

Liu Jin said goodbye to Meng Lie and led a hundred elite soldiers of the Meng family to rush straight to Yanmen Pass. Liu Jin was happy in his heart, and said in his heart: "This Meng Lie is really good to himself, he sent horses and soldiers, it seems that he has really met a nobleman, and he has to thank others in the future."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin touched the neck of the red charcoal fire dragon foal under his crotch with his hand, and the red charcoal fire dragon foal in the gallop enjoyed the owner's caress very much, and gently snorted in response.

Everyone in this group was in a hurry, and they walked for less than half an hour before they came to a Xiongguan. This majestic pass stands against the mountain, and spreads its majestic body by the steep mountain.

Liu Jin saw the ancient level for the first time with his own eyes, and couldn't help but look at it twice. I saw that the height of this Yanmen Pass is about more than 20 meters, about 700 steps long, such a behemoth is stuck between Daba Mountain and Montenegro, blocking the main road of the Huns to go south and the state and the east to Youzhou, I don't know how many Huns have buried their bones under the city over the ages, and have become the insurmountable moat of the Huns and the eternal pain in their hearts.

Looking up, closing the crimson military flag waving in the wind and the Han soldiers patrolling back and forth are like the terrifying fangs of this behemoth, which is daunting.

"What people. Report the name, otherwise Hugh blames the bow and arrow for not recognizing people", the sharp-eyed soldier who had already closed saw Liu Jin and others galloping over, and a middle-aged officer said intimidatingly.

"Lord Sima is above, Scout Commander Liu Jin has an urgent military report, please open and close the door quickly." Recognizing the middle-aged officer on the gate, Liu Jin said.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jin signed up for his number, and the Lord Sima in the city was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "You said that you are Liu Jin, do you have a certificate?" "The villain has a military card as proof, and the brothers in the same army also know the villain, and the adults tell them to go to the city, and you can see it at a glance," Liu Jinlang replied, and there was some joy in his tone to go home.

It turned out that there were thousands of soldiers and horses in this Yanmen Pass. The Sima lord who closed the gate is not surnamed Sima, but his official position is Sima.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the county soldiers and border armies of each state were roughly the same as the elite troops of the central court, the Northern Army and the Southern Army. They are all in a team of five people, and there is a captain. Liu Jin's official position is Wu Chang.

There were also officers such as the chief, the captain, the tun chief, the marquis, and the Sima, who commanded ten, fifty, hundred, two hundred, and one thousand men respectively. And Liu Jin is not a subordinate who closes this Sima, so this Sima does not know Liu Jin.

"In that case, you tie the military card to the rope, and you can only release it after a certain military card has been checked." This Sima saw that what Liu Jin said was true, but he said cautiously for the sake of safety.

Afterwards, Liu Jin took off the military badge from his waist and tied it to a rope hanging from the city. The Sima in the city took the military card and looked at it, only to see that the black military card was written on it, 'Liu Jin, the third scout commander of Yanmen Pass'.

A military badge is a credential for an ancient soldier, usually with the sergeant's name, station, and position written on it.

"The military card is true to you, but what's the matter with the cavalry behind you?" , this Sima still asked a little uneasy after checking the military badge.

He clearly remembered that the day before yesterday, two scouts reported that the Huns were about to be overwhelmed by a large army, so he did not dare to slack off. After all, this Yanmen Pass is very important, and it is easy not to let unidentified people enter, in case it is a careful work of the Huns, then it will be a big deal.

When Liu Jin heard this, he was unhappy with the boss. scolded angrily in his heart: "The master is desperately fighting to get out of the encirclement to report to you, you Sima dare to treat Lao Tzu like this."

Although Liu Jin scolded angrily in his heart, he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he had to narrate the ins and outs of the matter, and only deliberately changed the names of the Meng family and Meng Lie, and then they were put in the gate. It's just that the 100-strong Mengjia cavalry was strictly monitored.

In the palace, a veteran who is about fifty years old stands proudly, this veteran is in good spirits, although his black hair has long been gray. However, the flowery hair and resolute face still give people a sense of not being angry and arrogant. He is the guard of Yanmen Pass, the captain Han Tao.

On either side of Han Tao, there was an officer in his thirties, all of whom were wearing full armor. These two people are tall and sturdy, and they should be the other two of the three Sima of Yanmen Pass.

Liu Jin knelt on the ground and secretly observed the three of them out of the corner of his eye. I only felt an inexplicable pressure faintly spreading, which made my body chill. Liu Jin was shocked and said secretly; "Murderous".

"Liu Wuchang, according to you, Hao Si, and Zhang Yi, the Huns are about to go south. Can there be a specific number of troops, the time of dispatch, and the tribe to which they belong? The veteran Han Tao didn't even look at Liu Jin, but just asked with a cold face and a cold voice.

"Lord Captain, as far as the villain knows, the Huns are leading the army this time is Ashina, the king of Zuogu Li, with a strength of about 30,000, all of whom are from the Ashina tribe. Judging from the footsteps of the Huns, the villain thought that the Huns would press the army in the past two days, and hoped that the captain would make preparations in advance" Liu Jin searched the memory of the commander who had died in battle, and finally remembered this exact information.

"You didn't even deliver such important information until today. What are you guilty of delaying a military plane?" When Han Tao heard this, his face was covered with frost, and he said with murderous aura.

"If you delay the military plane, you should be beheaded to set an example", without waiting for Liu Jin to defend, the man on the left with a face full of flesh and a terrifying scar replied for some reason.

"Okay, push Liu Jin down and behead the public." When Han Tao heard this, he immediately and decisively ordered.

Liu Jin was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly defended: "My lord, the villain is wronged, the villain has already asked his subordinates Hao Si and Zhang Yi to return to Yanmen Pass to report the military situation, and the villain broke off alone, which delayed the return date, and I hope the lord will see it."
