"Listening to the lord's words, Huang Zhong's blood is boiling, I really can't wait to fight with Guan Zhang Zhao now, the lord can rest assured, the lord used to say that Ma Chao was brave, and the battle of Yangping Pass, Huang Zhong has a deep understanding, he will not underestimate the enemy when he meets Guan Zhang Zhao in the future, but the lord is leaving now?"

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang glanced at the blood-colored sky in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, today is only the fourth day, and we can stay for another day, we have to make the coalition army afraid of our ghost cavalry outside the pass, so that after I take away half of the cavalry, they will be afraid." ”

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow, if the coalition army tackles a key problem, the old general will take 5,000 soldiers and horses to the coalition camp to challenge." ”

"Yes."

On the second day, Huang Zhong once again led the army to pick a camp, and there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the angry warlords were smoking, but no one dared to fight.

Han Sui sent a large army to pursue, Huang Zhong left in the dust, Han Sui led the army back to the camp, and Huang Zhong came back to provoke.

Han Sui finally listened to Zhu Ling's words and no longer paid attention to Huang Zhong, so Huang Zhong's 5,000 people scolded him, and the morale of the Xiliang army plummeted, and at the same time, Mi Fang led Liu Bei's army to attack Mutai.

Twilight.

Han Sui was discussing the military situation with the warlords, when suddenly a soldier rolled in with a disgraced face, Han Sui stood up and said nervously: "General Mi didn't capture the pass?" ”

"No, oh, too, no, it's not that you didn't take the pass, it's a fiasco, no, it's not ......" The soldier was speechless in a hurry.

"What the hell are you going to say, and what is not?" Han Sui said angrily. "Give him a glass of water."

The soldier gulped down a large sip of water, calmed the anger in his chest, and said urgently: "General Mi returned defeated, and was hit by an arrow in his body, Liu Jun was killed nearly 2,000 in battle, and the rest were seriously injured. ”

"Ah, the Sichuan army is so powerful." The warlords looked at each other, and they had heard that the Sichuan army had defeated the Xiliang army in a frontal resistance. Although there are some other factors, it can also be seen that the combat power is strong, and when I heard the news at this time, it really deserved its name.

Before the soldier finished speaking, he continued: "Not only that, General Mi Fang withdrew his troops back to the camp and was raided by the iron cavalry led by Hu Che'er, the general of the Sichuan army. The siege equipment was completely destroyed. ”

"What?" Han Sui was taken aback, and immediately patted his chest: "Fortunately, we still have some siege equipment in the camp." ”

"Report." A soldier hurriedly reported: "Report, the Sichuan army pretended to be Mi Fang's army to ask for ordnance, and took the opportunity to attack the camp, and the ordnance in the camp was destroyed." ”

"Report." Another soldier came to report: "Report, Hu Che'er led the army out of the ordnance camp, killing the woods along the way, and our army was a lumberjack." Carpenter, not one in ten. ”

"Huh?" Han Sui was shocked, and immediately became furious: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable." ”

Jiang Yin stepped forward and glanced at Zhu Ling. The meaning couldn't be more obvious, look, I said that I would annihilate the Sichuan cavalry first, and now I suffered a loss? Turning to Han Sui, he said, "Alliance leader." The Sichuan army deceived people too much, and immediately dispatched a large army to exterminate these Sichuan cavalry. Otherwise, the threat is enormous. ”

"Jiang Yin, if you don't know how to use soldiers, don't talk nonsense." Zhu Ling said loudly and said to Han Sui: "Alliance leader, this time the ordnance battalion was attacked and the workers were killed, not at all because we did not annihilate the cavalry of the Sichuan army, but we did not expect that the Sichuan army would attack the ordnance, and we were attracted by Huang Zhong and neglected to take precautions.

As long as the alliance leader sends 20,000 soldiers and horses to protect the ordnance battalion and workers, the battalion is tightly defended, and then sends a large army to supervise the battle and suppress the formation, you can rest assured that you will attack the city. ”

"Ridiculous." Jiang Yin said: "It's the guards and workers, the strict defense, and the supervision and suppression of the battle, wouldn't it cost seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses to deal with the 20,000 cavalry of the Sichuan Military Region?" General Pig, you really know how to use soldiers, our army suffered heavy losses in front of the pass, and fought bloodily, will you come up with these bad ideas that consume manpower? You're a pig. ”

"You ......" Zhu Ling glared at Jiang Yin angrily.

"Alright." Han Sui said: "The two of them don't have to fight, both of them have a point, but we have a lot of soldiers, and we can't use it in front of the Mutai Pass, so it's better to do what General Zhu Ling wants, but now that our workers and carpenters have been killed, how can there be any ordnance to guard?" ”

"Isn't General Ma Chao also a siege machine made of soldiers?" Zhu Ling replied.

Han Sui frowned, when will it have to be built, I'm afraid it will be outside in seven or eight days, this back and forth, it took more than ten days without an inch, and Huang Zhonghu Che'er made the morale plummet, and Han Sui was also a little impatient in his heart.

"Well, the soldiers will cut down the wood to make siege equipment, and after seven days, the siege will be carried out again, generals, who will lead the army to battle at that time."

The warlords were silent, listening to Mi Fang's fiasco, a loss of two thousand soldiers, plus minor and serious injuries, this is simply terrifying, they don't know that Mi Fang's subordinates are all new soldiers, only know that Mutai is dangerous, and the Sichuan army is brave, and they are unwilling to fight their families.

Han Sui looked at the big camp where the needles could be heard, and a blue and black aura flashed on his face, did he really want his cavalry to dismount and attack the city? Wouldn't that be too cheap for other warlords, who are the leaders of the alliance, not the vanguard.

…………

From Hanzhong to Tianshui, there are two roads, one is the avenue, through Chencang, over Weishui, one is the path, through the Beiyuan trail, around Jicheng, desolate along the way, to Jicheng can see the people, Liu Zhang with Hu Che'er led 10,000 cavalry to leave Hanzhong, along this trail.

At the southern end of Xiqiang, here is the remnant of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the mountains are steep, the plateau is unusually cold, an army climbs between the mountains and forests with difficulty, and the cold wind of early winter blows like a knife on the rough faces of the soldiers.

This is the barbarian army led by Xiao Furong, after leaving Qishan, after receiving Liu Zhang's sudden order, the whole army turned to Xiqiang, originally Xiao Furong also thought that to cross the mountains in the south of Xiqiang, for the barbarian army with a mountain warfare tool white pole gun, it was as easy as a hand.

But this is not the case at all, it is true that Wuxi Man has crossed mountains and mountains since he was a child, and it is not false that he is good at mountain crossing, and he is also good at using a white pole gun, but Xiqiang has only one factor, so he will beat the Wuxi Army back to its original shape.

Severe cold, unbearable cold, even if there were preparations in advance, each barbarian soldier did not bring water, only wine, and wore three layers of cotton clothes, but still could not resist the bone-chilling cold, these barbarian soldiers from the south, did not know what the cold was, many of them had frostbite and festered during the march.

I originally thought that last year's freezing rain was the coldest, but this Xiqiang is freezing rain every day.

The greater threat of severe cold is not the body, but the mountain road, where there are roads and plank roads, there are basically Qiang villages, and Qiang villages are grouped. Even if it is a single family, it can attract a large group of people in a short time, Xiao Furong does not want to and can't make extraneous branches, so she can only lead the army to climb the cliff.

The steep mountains here are not something that ordinary people can climb, and the most terrible thing is that the severe cold makes the mountains freeze into ice. The smooth rocks are also covered with a thin layer of ice, which is impossible to focus on at all.

In front of a cliff several feet high, but completely roadless, Bao'er threw out a long whip, put it on a cliff pine, pulled it, and said to the barbarian soldiers behind him: "Hand it over." ”

"Okay?" The barbarian soldier handed over the tandem white pole gun and looked at Bao'er's whip with some concern on his face.

"Lots of." Boa pulled the white pole gun. Carrying a white-pole gun, he climbed up with a long whip first, and the tandem white-pole gun hoops made a clanging sound.

On the other side, more than a dozen barbarian soldiers were stacking Arhats in front of the cliff, and Xiao Furong and Mulberry Ye were standing on the side. The cotton coat of the mulberry leaf was completely worn out, and the flesh that had been exposed on the shoulders was wrapped in a rag cloth, but it was a thin rag. Let the skin inside freeze purple.

Mulberry leaf has messy hair, dry skin, and some windy skin on his face. Full of exhaustion, Xiao Furong looked at her and said, "Sister, I told you not to come, you are so weak, how can you stand it." ”

Sang Ye smiled reluctantly: "Madame and adults treat me with high heavens and earth, and Sang Ye is willing to be born and die with Madame." ”

Xiao Furong pouted, and she didn't know where she and Liu Zhang treated her with high ground.

Sang Ye said: "It's Madame, the blind fortune teller said that within 20 days, we can't go west, originally we have been going north, but the adult suddenly ordered to go west, isn't this the will of heaven?" Madame should be cautious. ”

", you believe the words of those charlatans."

At this time, a brute soldier came over: "Young lord, it's okay." ”

Xiao Furong looked over, the barbarian army stacked five or six people, three or four zhang high, it looked extremely dangerous, Xiao Furong handed the red tassel gun into the hands of the soldiers, took a deep breath, stepped on the shoulders of the barbarians and climbed up, the barbarian soldiers gritted their teeth and insisted, they not only had to bear Xiao Furong's weight, but also ensure that they did not go down the smooth cliff.

They were in the middle of the mountain, and the place below was pitifully narrow, and if they were off, a bunch of people would roll off the cliff.

Xiao Furong finally climbed to the top, the barbarian army layer below trembled, this is already the limit, but it is still a few meters away, Xiao Furong took out a bow and arrow, calmed the beating of her heart, and tried to maintain her balance, an arrow with a thin rope was shot out and nailed to a tree on the top of the mountain.

Xiao Furong pulled it, this rope is specially made in the craftsman's room, and it is very tough, but I just don't know whether the arrow nail is deep or not, Xiao Furong stiffened, pulled the rope up, and nervously listened to the sound of the arrow slowly pulling out the bark.

Fortunately, Xiao Furong was much lighter than before, otherwise she would really have to roll down, and at the moment when the arrow was pulled out, Xiao Furong's little foot stepped on a narrow protrusion on the cliff wall and jumped up.

Bao'er Xiao Furong and Shamoke Flower Boy came up first, hooked the white pole gun, a string of white pole guns were put up, the iron ring made a rattling sound in the cold wind, the barbarian army climbed up the rock in a group, and the whole barbarian army climbed up the steep mountain wall to a large flat land on the top of the mountain.

The wind was bitterly cold on the top of the mountain, but the barbarian soldiers were happy, and they overcame another difficulty.

At this moment, a barbarian soldier suddenly fell, and his companion next to him sniffed and said to Xiao Furong, "Young lord, you have lost your breath." ”

Xiao Furong and Bao'er and other barbarian soldiers showed painful expressions, I don't know how many times this kind of thing has happened, either it is cold and sick, or it is not adapted to the water and soil, or the wound is festering and infected, and there are always soldiers falling down every day.

"Write down the name and bury it on the spot." Xiao Furong said in a deep voice.

Two soldiers carried the deceased, dug up the ground of the ice, the snow fell in the sky, the temperature here was distributed along the high mountain cascade, the dead leaves of the wisteria flowers under the mountain were still hanging on the vines, and the snow was falling heavily on the mountain.

The snowflakes fell on the tips of the hair, melted, and the hair was wet, Xiao Furong took out Sinan, looked at it, and determined a direction, at this time, a brute soldier ran from that direction, his face was anxious, and reported: "Young lord, it's not good, there is a cliff ahead, and there is no bottom." ”

Xiao Furong frowned and followed the soldier forward.

Xiao Furong saw a black line in front of her from a distance, splitting the top of the mountain in half straight, and before she reached the edge of the cliff, it was already a cool breeze, and the whole mountain was like being split by an axe, and a cliff appeared in the middle, and around the cliff, it was ten times colder than other places.

The cliff is wide, and the two peaks face each other across the cliff.

Xiao Furong held on to the rocks, and glanced at the bottom of the cliff against the strong wind, her heart immediately rose to her throat, her mind was dizzy, it was too high, the bottomless deep valley, and the bottom was white, Xiao Furong and the barbarian soldiers felt as if they were in the clouds, and their thighs involuntarily shivered.

The flower boy gave a thumbs up to the cliff and looked at the width of the cliff, Xiao Furong stared at the cliff in front of her, and said slowly: "Don't measure it, the cliff is at least ten zhang or more, and people can't get past it at all." ”

"People can't get by, other things can pass!" Shamoko Road.

The flower boy teased: "You want to catch an eagle and hang you over, the young lord is almost the same, you, forget it!" The flower boy stared at the five big and three thick Shamoko, and said with disdain.

Everyone was at a loss, Xiao Furong frowned, looked at the cliff, felt the slightest cold wind, after this mountain, the old camp of Lingqiang was not far away, but this is also a necessary place, if you find other roads, the barbarian army has to go down the mountain, find a new place to climb the mountain, and I don't know how much time it will take, how many people will die.

Xiao Furong took out the wine bag and took a big sip of wine, "Do you want to fall short at the last moment?" Isn't that husband's entire strategy disrupted because of himself? ”

…………

Liu Zhang led 10,000 bikers to walk on Beiyuan Road, light snow was flying, wet horsehair, and suddenly a group of refugees, about hundreds, appeared in front of him, coming from the narrow Beiyuan Road.

Tianshui Yongliang Warlord Alliance, those warlords who are committed to robbery, where will they be polite when they arrive in Tianshui, say that they will be in the alliance, but they actually come to rob, especially the warlords in Guanzhong, no matter what they have in the field, as long as they can eat, they have helped the people cut it, and the pickled meat hanging at the door of the people's homes, and the pickles in the barricade (a kind of bamboo basket) are also laughable.

It is in the Tianshui area, the people are not living, the people have abandoned their homes and left, Hanzhong Beisai is facing war, and the displaced people hope to enter the heart of Hanzhong from the middle and live a stable life.

"My lord, there are homeless people." Hu Che'er said nervously.

"I'm not blind." Liu Zhang looked at those homeless people coldly.

The displaced people were also surprised to see the army in front of them, this road is sparsely populated, if there is an ambush, few troops walking on the North Yuan Road can get out, so generally no army will pass here. (To be continued.) )
