Chapter 67: The Drunken Pleasure (I)
When Shi Lang came to the third pass, it was already very lively, and the shouts of killing were all over the place, but the soldiers on both sides just shouted with their necks, and they didn't hold swords and guns in their hands, as if they were competing for whose voice was louder.
The beacon fire on the hill has already been lit, and both sides have lit a few fires, making the smoke billowing up to the sky, and from a distance it must have been very fierce, especially the earth-shaking war drums, which reverberated back and forth among the mountains, and the sound spread for dozens of miles.
The gate of the pass had already been opened, and the five hundred elite soldiers responsible for seizing the fourth pass were passing through the pass in an orderly manner.
The Axe Broken Gorge belongs to a dangerous place where a man can not open a pass, so there are not many defenders stationed at each pass, and the most soldiers are 1,000 people at the last pass, and the rest are between 500 and 700. Therefore, Shi Lang sent 500 people to seize the fourth pass, which was already rich and surplus, and these were all selected warriors who were one as ten.
Walking in front of these 500 people were more than 100 guards at the third pass, whose faces were smeared with sheep's blood, their armor was crooked, and some of them had strips of cloth on their heads and bodies, looking like defeated soldiers.
Arriving at a turning point in a canyon, Gong Meng, the general of the third pass, said to the general of the Yi army: "Turn this corner, and then go less than two miles to the fourth pass, the adults are ambushing here, and when we hear the sound of the horn, we have succeeded, please rush to seize the pass immediately." After that, he turned to his own people, "The brothers all pretend to be a little bit like me, whoever shows a flaw will be a big thing for the grandfather of the country!" ”
Some of the more than 100 people immediately showed all kinds of miserable appearances, grinning their teeth, covering their heads, grabbing their arms, and rolling on the ground, making their clothes even more embarrassing. Gong Meng waved his hand and ran out first, and the rest followed sparsely.
The guards of the fourth pass had already heard the sound of war drums in front of him, and he was trembling in fear when he looked at the smoke rising from the pass, and then saw Gong Meng and people running in embarrassment, knowing that the third pass was lost.
"General Ho, open the door and let our brothers in!" The pass is lost, and the Yi army will come over soon! Gong Meng shouted loudly when he was far away.
"How could you lose it so quickly?" General He asked suspiciously.
"Grandma's, there are no less than 30,000 Yi Jun coming, and the onslaught is endless, Zhao Da is scared, so he led someone to open the gate, hurry up, Yi Jun will come later!"
General He glanced into the distance again, didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly opened the door, and then shouted to Gong: "You guys are faster, General Gong, please come up, you and I have a good discussion." "Although the two princes have constant friction, but the relationship between these two guards is acceptable, at this time, they will naturally not see death without help, and when they hear that the Yi army is fierce, General He still expects these people to help guard the pass.
After Gong Meng and the others entered the gate of the pass, they slashed without saying a word, and the person in charge of the communication immediately blew the horn, and when General He heard the sound of the battle below, he knew that he had been hit, and saw hundreds of Yi soldiers rushing out of the turning port like a tiger out of the cage, he stomped his feet, turned around and ran down, and shouted to the guards: "Run!" ”
Half an hour before the Yi army bluffed at the third pass, a team of about 600 people of Xiangguo Gong came to the last pass, and the generals who led the army reported that they were going to change guards.
The defenders of this pass were the close soldiers of King Shun, and when the guards heard the news, they came to the pass, and those who saw Xiangguo Gong had put aside all the weapons they had carried. This is the rule of passing, people pass first, the weapon is carried by the guards here for them, in order to prevent stealing, in fact, if you do it strictly according to the regulations, this weapon has to be put outside a stone's throw away, but after a long time, everyone is too lazy to do that, and the rules are abolished.
Seeing that the general who led the army was an acquaintance, the guard personally greeted him, and asked with a smile: "Brother has been sent to this drudgery again?" ”
The leading general came to his side and sighed: "Alas, I don't have a backer, so I haven't been sent anywhere?" I stayed here for half a year, and I was sent again less than a year after I went back. ”
The general pouted and said, "No matter how hard you are, you can't compare to me, but I'll be here for three years." ”
The leading general also pouted and said: "Don't get cheap and sell well, the king trusts you, who doesn't know that you are going to be promoted this time, I suffered in vain, but there is no hope for promotion." ”
The general guarding the pass was uncontrollably happy, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, why don't you know when the time comes." ”
The leading general saw that nearly half of the soldiers had already entered the customs, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will know for sure now." ”
When he heard the news about his promotion, the general asked with joy: "What have you heard?" ”
The leading general put his arm around his shoulder, still smiling, and said, "It's not that I heard that if you don't know each other, this official will be the best." As he spoke, he turned his hand and put a short knife against his abdomen, "Our grandfather is opposite, the army of Yi will arrive soon, if you want to know the grandfather of the country, you will be rewarded, your official position must be higher than now, if you don't know the father, I will send you to the underground to be an official now." ”
It happened too suddenly, and the general guarding the gate had already felt the sharp blade pass through his clothes, and his face immediately turned pale, "You...... You...... This ......"
"Laugh, my people have entered the customs, it's useless for you to shout out, they all have hidden blades on their bodies, there are hundreds of people behind me, they can be killed immediately as soon as they fight here, you can't hold this pass, or get acquainted, read on the past feelings, I will try my best to speak for you in front of Grandpa Guo."
At this point, the general who guarded the pass understood that this pass could indeed not be held, since they dared to do this, it must be well-planned, and he laughed miserably: "I trust you so much, but you ......"
"I know the brother's affection, that's why I said that I would speak well for you in front of the king, and now I have no intention of dying, you have to think carefully, you will have nothing when I exert my strength in this hand."
The guard general sighed and said, "The referendum voted for the change of country? ”
"Yes, Yi Guo promised to help us build the country, this time it was Zhao and Yi who joined forces to cut Shun, Shun Guo is almost the same if it is not destroyed, the one who knows the times is Junjie, I don't need to say anything else."
The general guarding the pass lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "In front of the national prince, I hope that the general will not deceive each other again." Then he turned his head and called out to the herald, and ordered: "Let the soldiers line up in front of the pass." ”
The leading general smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother is really a person who understands. ”
The general of the guard smiled bitterly: "What else can be done, you should take back this knife." ”
"Please forgive the little brother for his sins, and when the soldiers are lined up, the younger brother will put away the knife and make amends to the elder brother at that time."
"You're such a delicate person." The general shook his head with a wry smile.
After the five passes of the Axe Broken Gorge fell into his hands, the Yi army poured out of the Axe Broken Gorge like a big river, and divided into several ways to carry out the tasks they shouldered.
