The mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.

Wei Yazi barely supported his body with the halberd in his hand, preventing himself from falling, and watched the Qin army retreat like a tide. When Qin Jun disappeared from sight, Wei Yazi could no longer support it, and sat on the ground without any image, gasping for breath. Beside him, hundreds of Han soldiers with bloodstained armor were the same, sitting on the ground, greedily breathing the air, secretly glad that they had survived again.

It's been three days, it's been three whole days, and the Qin army's offensive against Wuguan has not stopped during the day. As long as the smoke of the Qin camp rises, it will not take more than an hour for thousands of Qin troops to flock to Wuguan. The 5,000 troops originally stationed at Wuguan are now only 1,000 people left, and almost none of these 1,000 people are intact. Everyone is wounded, but they can't go down to heal, and the difficulties of the Korean army can be imagined.

Three days ago, if it weren't for the timely warning from a secret sentinel, maybe Wuguan would have been lost. The Qin army was well prepared, and all the Qin troops knew the patrol rules of the Korean army and the number of troops stationed at each point. This helped the Qin State take most of the head of the Western City, but with a roar, the orderly night attack of the Qin army was interrupted. Although the Qin army was very regretful, they immediately and decisively launched a strong attack on Wuguan.

The ROK army's drill on emergency handling played a life-saving role, and hundreds of ROK elites blocked the Qin army who wanted to open the city gate at the first time, preventing the situation from getting out of control further. The two sides engaged in an unexpected battle in the small city, one side rushed to the battle, the other came prepared, but the Korean army made up for the difference in morale with the number of students.

As more and more Korean troops joined and supported, the Korean army finally annihilated all the Qin troops lurking into the city after paying the price of nearly 1,000 casualties. At this time, thousands of Qin troops outside the city took this opportunity to quietly cling to the city wall, brandishing swords and rushing to the city.......

The next three days. Qin's actions revealed their ambitions for Wuguan - a full 50,000 army blocked the west side of Wuguan, and during the day, wave after wave of Qin troops never gave the Korean army a little rest. Even in the dark of night, the Qin State harassed the Han army from time to time and made a posture of night attack. Han Jun didn't dare to relax for a moment! The soldiers on duty at night were in good spirits, for fear of waking up. Heads on the ground! No, you can't wake up if your head hits the ground, and Han Jun is afraid that once you fall asleep, you won't be able to wake up again!

"Uncle, we've won again!" A young soldier beside Wei Yazi said softly.

"yes!" Wei Yazi let out a long sigh, if the Qin State still obeyed the rules, it should not be able to storm Wuguan at night. This also means that his tired army will have a night to rest. However, looking at the injuries of the robe beside him, Wei Yazi was not sure how much of his robe would be able to survive tomorrow.

Wait quietly for the sunset to completely disappear into the horizon. Wei Yazi barely stood up. After the Great War, hunger came a little faster than usual. The messenger asking for help had been sent three days ago, and the army that wanted to come to Wancheng was already on its way. Wei Yazi was sure that if he held out for one more day at most, Wancheng's army would definitely arrive at Wuguan. When the time came, the Qin army could only give up the low-hanging fruit pass and retreat. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the messenger sent to Wancheng for help had fallen on the outskirts of Xiyi City. There will never be a chance to reach Wuguan.

As early as when the Qin State formulated the surprise attack Wuguan, he knew the biggest difficulty. Guarding Wuguan for more than 20 years has made Qin Jun know how unbreakable Wuguan is. As long as Wuguan has a sufficient army and grain and grass. The Qin State had absolutely no chance to dye the guide yang. Unless Wuguan's backup is cut off, the Xiyi behind Wuguan will continue to supply grain, grass, and soldiers.

Directly taking Xiyi is tantamount to a fool's dream for the Qin State, but it is much simpler to cut off the connection between Wuguan and Xiyi. After paying more than a hundred of the most elite scouts, more than a dozen scouts from the Qin State finally passed through the Qin Mountains on both sides of Wuguan, went around to the rear, and robbed and killed five messengers sent by Wuguan to Wancheng for help. And this time. Wuguan thought that Wancheng had received his own request for help and waited for reinforcements to appear.

Naturally, the Qin army could not confirm whether their scouts had robbed and killed the messengers of Wuguan for help, they could only gamble, betting that there would be no reinforcements in Wuguan. If the bet is won, their onslaught, regardless of casualties, will give them a big victory. If you lose the bet. They can only swallow the bitter fruit of their own brewing.

For this gamble, Qin's investment is not small, from the early large-scale conscription, to the raid on Hedong, to sending people to risk sneaking into Wuguan's back to rob and kill the messenger, one link is closely linked to the other, and the sound of attacking the west and wanting to capture the old people is to make South Korea misunderstand - Qin has no interest in Hanzhong at all, let alone Nanyang, Qin's goal is actually Hedong, and it is to suppress Wei together with Zhao. South Korea, on the other hand, almost believed it.

On the third night of the Qin army's attack on Wuguan, Wuguan was vaguely aware of something abnormal. According to the distance from Wuguan to Wancheng, considering the situation of the 800-mile urgent report, the messenger should arrive today at the latest. Even, such an urgent military situation, should have received information yesterday. But now there is no news from Wancheng. That's where the most abnormal thing becomes.

"General! The last general thought that we must immediately send another group of envoys to prevent the Qin State from making trouble in the rear! A thousand people will say worriedly.

Another thousand-person general stood up and said, "Be careful! Be careful! It's the time of the Great War, and if you let the soldiers know that we don't have reinforcements, we're going to have a big mess! ”

The thousand people who spoke at the beginning spoke a little angrily: "The reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and the army's heart has been shaken a little!" If reinforcements don't arrive tomorrow! There is no need for us to make a big mess, the Qin army is afraid that it will attack Wuguan! Wuguan is lost, who can afford such a responsibility?! ”

"Even if we send a messenger immediately, it won't reach Wancheng until tomorrow at the earliest! It's just too late! Besides, reinforcements may already be on the way! In my opinion, don't worry about it! Another thousand people will say-for-tat.

"What a child's play! If reinforcements had arrived soon, we would have sent a messenger to contact us! But now, there is no news! What does this mean, there must be a fine work of the Qin State blocking the passage! Perhaps, our plea for help didn't reach Wancheng at all! Checkmate! The last general is still the same sentence, hurry up and send someone for help! This time, at least a hundred! ”

"A hundred?!" The latter was angry and had a red face and a thick neck. roared: "Now there are only more than 900 soldiers in Wuguan!" Take a hundred more people! What will be used to defend the city tomorrow? ”

"Humph!" The former sneered a few times and said: "Xiyi is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Wuguan, if these hundred elites set off overnight, they can arrive at Xiyi at dawn, and with the general's token, at least a thousand troops can be transferred back to help!" As long as we can hold on for three or four hours. There is also a turnaround! After arriving at Xiyi, he rushed to Wancheng non-stop, if the last general is not mistaken, the Yulin army is in Wancheng. With the support of the Yulin Army, could it be that we can't hold the Wuguan? ”

Wei Yazi nodded secretly when he heard this, and now among the Wuguan officers, except for the chief general Liao Yi and the two thousand generals, his uncle's position is actually the highest. That's why I can stand in the tent and listen to the "lesson." Now that reinforcements are unlikely, instead of hoping that reinforcements may have forgotten to send messengers to spread the message. It's better to go all-or-nothing. The number of Qin troops behind Wuguan will never be too much, otherwise they would have attacked Wuguan a long time ago.

All they can do is harass, cut off the way of information. Divide a hundred cavalry to transmit military information, even if you encounter nearly a thousand Qin troops, you can take advantage of the night to have the power to maneuver, feasible. Wei Yazi's only worry was how long he could hold out when there were only 800 garrisons left in Wuguan. As long as Liao Yi agrees, those who remain behind him will inevitably face a fierce battle. Comparatively. It is very safe to lead a hundred cavalry to break through the blockade line of the Qin army and transmit military information.

Liao Yi's decisive character was undoubtedly reflected at this moment, he just weighed it and commanded in a deep voice: "Wuguan has a heavy responsibility." There is no room for error! There is no room for luck in the dictionary of this general! Pass on the general's order, recruit a hundred cavalry to go east out of Wuguan, if you encounter reinforcements, return immediately, if you don't meet them, go to Xiyi for help, and then go to Wancheng to guide the Yulin army to support! Violators, behead! ”

"Whoa!" Many thousands of generals and uncles replied with awe-inspiring expressions. Isn't it 800 against 40,000 Qin troops! You can stick to it! As long as the reinforcements of more than 1,000 reinforcements in Xiyi are in time. The generals believe that the possibility of failure is still very small.

Everyone quietly waited for Liao Yi's follow-up orders, because just now he did not clearly announce who would lead the cavalry to break through and pass on the military information, and the captain of the cavalry team had already died in battle. These 100 people are bound to be led by a new uncle! After all, there will be risks on the road. It's just a little smaller than defending the city!

Liao Yi didn't hesitate for long, looked around at the generals and said, "Wei Zheng!" ”

The Daimyo's Wei Zheng's Wei Yazi subconsciously straightened his chest and said, "The end will be!" ”

"I'll leave these 100 cavalry to you to lead!" Liao Yi said something fluttering.

"Ah?!!h Wei Yazi was stunned! Such a "simple" task, how can the task that everyone is competing for fall on their heads! After all, it must be easy to defend the military pass, and the task of transmitting military intelligence is very easy. As long as you run out of the mountain road for just 100 miles, the Nanyang Basin behind you will never encounter any risks! No matter how strong the Qin State is, Nanyang is now also South Korea's territory!

Soon, Wei Yazi, who was too surprised, turned a little red. So many uncles, but they chose the youngest self! This is tantamount to contempt for oneself! Could it be that his own ability is too low to be worthy of such a task? Or is it because of his noble brother, who can be superior to others and evacuate the battlefield like a deserter and get safe?!

"The last general is willing to defend the martial pass with the general!" Wei Yazi's answer was righteous and stern.

"You want to disobey?" Liao Yi's reaction was simple and straightforward! A fluttering disobedience suffocated the atmosphere of the big tent! South Korean military law says that those who disobey the order in battle will be killed! The royal relatives are no exception!

Wei Yazi stubbornly raised his head and said, "The last general will not dare!" The last general just felt ......"

Liao Yi waved his hand and said categorically: "What do you think about putting away yours!" Here, what Ben will need is someone who strictly enforces military orders, not someone who has any self-ideas! Uncle Wei, I will ask you, do you want to disobey? ”

"The last general will not dare!" Wei Yazi put away the disbelief in his heart and said respectfully.

"Good!" Liao Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then it's up to you to wait for a hundred cavalry to go and pass on the military information!" Got it, Uncle? ”

"Whoa!" Wei Yazi raised his head, straightened his chest and said loudly.

"Hmmm! Remember, bring back the general's soldiers! Ben still wants to garrison Wuguan with you! You can't be deserters! Liao Yi said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

After a pause, Liao Yi sorted out his costume and scolded with a smile: "And you!" Don't think that we have a reason to fail with only 800 of us! Even if it's eighty. Eight people! As long as we don't die, Wuguan must be in the hands of our South Korea! Otherwise, even if you die, Ben will not let you go, clear? ”

"Whoa!" The deafening sound sounded at the same time in the big tent, and the originally somewhat oppressive atmosphere turned into irrepressible excitement and tragedy! Everyone only felt that they could die for Wuguan! Anyway, the perfect pension system ensures that you can have no worries! If you really become a deserter. The taunts of the villagers are enough to drown themselves! Even your own children have to be pointed at! Rather than this, it is better to die in battle with dignity.

Wei Yazi secretly made up his mind, if when he led his troops back, Wuguan was unfortunately lost, then he would take the rest of his brothers to charge, even if he died, he would die at the feet of Wuguan, and he would die with the general!

Soon, the east gate of Wuguan quietly opened, and Wei Yazi led a hundred carefully selected cavalry to the east. The gates were soon closed.

Fifteen miles outside the west gate of Wuguan, the Qin army camp.

Gong Qi looked at the map in front of the book case and thought secretly, although he did not capture Wuguan today, he tried out the reality of Wuguan. At the most dangerous time, the Han army invested a team in brand new armor to drive the Qin army back to the city. But this is probably the last reserve of South Korea! Or the Korean army stationed at the East Gate! It's been three days, and no reinforcements have arrived in the direction of Wuguan! It seems that the scouts sent before have robbed and killed the messenger sent by Wuguan to Wancheng for help! Otherwise, follow the distance. Even if Wancheng's army can't arrive, there will be at least more than a thousand reinforcements in Xiyi! But now. What Qi Gong saw was the Wuguan defenders fighting alone!

However, although the Duke of Qi was glad that there were no reinforcements from the Wuguan side! But he is not sure that Wuguan will be aware of this problem tomorrow or even tonight. As long as they realized that something was wrong with the reinforcements, there was not much time left for the Qin army. Although every time I think about it, the sneak attack on Wuguan fell short, which is really a pity. But he had to force himself to pull himself out of the defeat. Right now. The most important thing is to make good use of this time difference and take down Wuguan. Otherwise, I won't even have a chance to be melancholy!

"Hehe, you'll realize later that Ben's previous offensive was just a small fight. Right now. The feast is here, and I hope you can hold on for a little longer! Gong Qi secretly sneered in his heart.

The adjutant general on the side said respectfully: "General! All ready! Is it a night attack? ”

Gong Qi smiled and said softly, "Let's start!" I think our Korean friends can't wait to see this flame! ”

"Whoa!" The adjutant retreated and announced the order.

Soon, the Qin army that had rested for half the night was assembled, of course, there was only half a battalion of soldiers, and Duke Qi didn't think that half a battalion of Qin troops would not be able to take the Wuguan with few soldiers! Of course, if this half of the battalion soldiers are not angry, the Duke of Qi will not mind the wheel battle, giving the remaining other half of the battalion soldiers a chance to make meritorious contributions!

The rockets in the sky reflected half of the sky, and the rain of arrows of the Qin army continued to penetrate into Wuguan City, and those that fell on the open ground were quickly extinguished by the ice and snow on the ground, but those that shot on the wooden blocks and beams of the house soon ignited a fire, and the flames devoured everything nearby, adding a little trouble to the Korean army. At the same time, the frenzied Qin Jun actually took advantage of the upper wind to ignite something that didn't know what strange smell was, and the whole air was filled with a dizzying smell. The Han army, which was located downwind, suffered a lot, but fortunately, there was enough ice and snow on the ground, and the snow could not only extinguish the fire, but also isolate this strange smell, which made the Han army a lot easier.

After such an "offensive" lasted for half an hour, the infantry of the Qin army carried the cloud ladder and rushed to Wuguan City without hesitation under the cover of the archers behind them. The flames burned everywhere and the reflection of the snow lit up the sky, and the soldiers on both sides fought each other.

Cheap blood soon stained the ground beneath the feet of both sides, and each of them had a hideous face, mechanically harvesting the lives of the enemy until they were completely defeated. Many Han soldiers, who were seriously injured, fought with their last breath of strength and fell straight down the city with the Qin army in front of them. Because they know that every time they kill one more person, the probability of the robe around them surviving is three points greater, and the probability of holding the martial arts pass is three points greater! For the sake of this three-point possibility, the Han army, which had no way to survive for a long time, was willing to die with the Qin army.

At the beginning, the Qin army was cold-blooded and numb and mechanically fighting, military merit is a supreme temptation, and the king of Qin has already said that as long as he wins the martial pass, the reward will be doubled! This means that the feats that usually take to kill two armor soldiers now only need one person, and the Qin army has an absolute advantage in numbers, so there is no reason to give up the victory at your fingertips! What if Han Jun dies with him, and what effect does this have on him?!

But when Han Jun came up with more and more thoughts of dying with Han Jun, even if he was fighting to take a few swords from Qin Jun, as long as the head did not fall off, Han Jun could bite Qin Jun to the death, and he would not let go until he fell to his death, Qin Jun was afraid. Qin Jun can't be afraid, military merits are easy to take, so you have to have a life to take it! Otherwise, it is to make a wedding dress for future generations! So, half an hour later, the Qin army retreated for the first time! (To be continued......)
