255, Tianjing Pass
chased and chased, and the ground made a slight noise.
Galloping forward was a group of black-armored cavalry, about a dozen people.
More than a dozen people, with panicked faces, looked back at the group of chasers from time to time, and the speed was a little faster.
The pursuers in the rear were dressed in khaki clothes, mostly high-nosed and curly-haired soldiers, and hundreds of people were armed with spears and hard bows, roaring in pursuit.
There is a jungle not far away, and from a distance, the trees are not tall and do not appear dense.
The dozen or so black-armored cavalry chasing in front of them rushed forward without hesitation, and the speed of the hundreds of chasing cavalry behind them slowed down slightly.
"Chase." The young general at the head hesitated for a moment, but finally shouted loudly.
Hundreds of people poured in, biting the dozen or so riders and not letting go.
As soon as I entered the jungle, my eyes suddenly darkened.
"Not good"
The heart of the young general who was chasing after him sank, and his reaction was quick.
"There is an ambush, retreat."
Hundreds of horsemen who spread their horses' hooves were ready to turn their horses' heads no matter how fast they reacted, but they were already slow.
Even if they were all first-class elites in the Xiliang Army, they were not able to escape in the first place.
A large net of cold light was laid out.
It's a real net, with blades wrapped around it.
Dozens of cards fell at the same time.
Suddenly, the people turned on their backs, and the screams were repeated.
And the dozen or so black-armored cavalrymen who had been fleeing in a hurry a while ago had already returned.
In the jungle, hundreds of black-clothed men armed with ring-headed knives and spears suddenly appeared.
Bloody slaughter, staged mercilessly.
Screaming, crying dad and mother.
Blood splatters. Suddenly, the grass and trees were red.
Slightly dimly lit environment. The figures of the two straddles stared coldly. Ren his soldiers kept killing, and the two were still expressionless.
One person held a large axe in his hand, and the other person dragged an iron chain more than two meters long in his right hand.
A tall horse, delicate armor, and an unusually mighty look.
The killing went very fast.
In the jungle, the black-armored soldier who shot was unusually clean and neat.
The knife fell, and hundreds of heads suddenly piled up into a small mountain.
The ownerless warhorse spewed white vapor restlessly, compared to the hundreds of headless corpses on the ground. They are much luckier.
At least, there is no danger of being slaughtered.
"Let's go."
The two generals, who had never dismounted to fight, glanced at each other, and the man with the axe gave a soft shout and turned his horse away without hesitation.
The black-armored soldiers who had not yet dissipated the smell of blood on their bodies climbed onto their horses, killing them or burying them, and in the jungle, the team was so long, there were as many as 10,000 people.
Jincheng.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surged, black and white flags were displayed, and a big flag with Guo characters was raised. A big flag with a Li character whistled under the patio pass.
Tianjing Pass, also known as Xiongding Pass. Located in the territory of Jincheng, it is one of the eight paths of Taihang.
From the Tianjing Pass to the south, you can go straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, which is one of the fortresses in the Central Plains.
From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, the disputes have never been broken, the soldiers have been repeated, hundreds of large and small wars, and the smoke of gunpowder has continued, which is a place where soldiers must fight.
Tianjing Pass has a towering city, hanging the banner of the tiger and the moon, which is an important defense area for the tiger and wolf in Bingzhou, and is guarded by Wang Chang, a scholar.
Wang Chang has a great relationship with Wang Ling, full of talent, and is one of the Taishou reserves appointed by Yuan Shang.
Although he is a scholar and a general, few people question Wang Chang's ability.
From Huguan to Tianjing Pass, Wang Chang was able to handle the affairs of guarding the customs in an orderly manner, which was not only satisfactory to Yuan Shang, but also those generals and strategists who thought Wang Chang was too young had nothing to say.
Tianjing Pass is one of the most important passes in the state, and it cannot be missed.
Therefore, there are nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the pass, and the advantage of occupying the pass is enough to resist more than ten times the enemy.
Wang Chang wears a strong suit, giving people a very capable feeling.
There is no ordinary scholar's oily head and powder, his face is handsome, but his complexion is slightly dark, standing on the towering pass, and his clothes are humbling.
The battlements have been dyed red, and during this period, the second general Li Guo under Dong Zhuo has organized three sieges of the city, all of which were repelled by Wang Chang.
This is the fourth wave of the offensive.
And the sky was getting dark.
Wang Changzhi said, this is the last wave of offensive today.
On the castle tower, there were less than 3,000 troops left, and many of them were wounded.
Defending, still to defend, that is, to fight to the point that only the most soldiers are left, not a single soldier can not give up, the importance of Tianjing Pass, for the state or for Yuan Shang, Wang Chang will not know.
Ju Yi sneaked up on Aocang and came out of the Tianjing Pass, not to mention, there were hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass hoarded in the pass.
It was left by Ju Yi.
Those grains and grasses are even more inmissible, and there is a shortage of grain in the state, and Wang Chang, who was born in the cultural management system, knows better than anyone in the Guannei.
Therefore, fighting to the death is Wang Chang's only choice at present.
"Let's raise our spirits, hold on a little longer, and repel this wave of enemy attacks, as soon as it gets dark, the enemy retreats, and we can rest for a while." Wang Chang shouted encouragement.
On the pass, less than 3,000 old soldiers defending the city were panting, from morning to sunset, they had not even eaten a mouthful of food, and their strength was so bad that if it were not for the amazing perseverance, I am afraid that they would have collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
Under the pass, Li Yu's face was gloomy by the Li Zi banner, and his slender and powerful five fingers kept rubbing the ghost face knife in his hand, which reflected the angry face of Guo Yan under Guo Zida's flag.
It was getting late, and after injuring nearly 10,000 people, they couldn't even conquer the Tianjing Pass, and the perseverance of the tiger and wolf on the pass shocked the two, and there was only anger, great anger.
General Li Guo is definitely a veteran of hundreds of battles, leading troops to fight, absolutely no less than hundreds, from Dong Zhuo's annexation of the Liangzhou warlord to the Central Plains, fighting all the way, even Lu Bu did not dare to underestimate these two.
The two of them also have the elite of the Xiliang army, and there are quite a few of them, adding up to as much as fifty or sixty thousand.
From the sun rising to the waning sun, the endless offensive was staged non-stop, but they still failed to take the Tianjing Pass as scheduled, which really made the two of them very angry.
"If you organize another charge, you won't be able to take Tianjing Pass again, and all the major generals will be demoted by one level." Guo Yan shouted angrily.
He was also furious, and it was a great shame for him that tens of thousands of his soldiers and horses were forced back without even touching the battlements.
Hearing this, Li Yu nodded, the long beard on his vertical chest shook, and with a wave of the ghost-faced broadsword, tens of thousands of Xiliang troops carried the cloud ladder again and launched an attack.
At this moment, Xu Huang and Gan Ning, who had just swallowed more than a dozen Xiliang army sentinels, were already less than ten kilometers away from Tianjing Pass, hunting and killing Xiliang army sentry agents along the way, completely blocking the news, so General Li Guoer didn't know that there was already an elite Bingzhou tiger wolf quietly killing behind the road.
On a towering hill on the right side of Tianjing Pass, Xu Huang and Gan Ning led 10,000 elite soldiers and horses to look down at the tide-like Xiliang army below, with a sneer on the corner of their mouths.
"Finally, you and I have caught up." Xu Huang glanced at Gan Ning and said with a light smile.
Hearing this, Gan Ning nodded, and said: "It seems that General Li Guo has more than 50,000 troops left, and if it is a little later, it is estimated that Tianjing Pass will not be guaranteed." ”
Xu Huang nodded slightly, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "One person and half, dare to try?" ”
"Ha Luha" Gan Ning smiled heartily and said: "How dare you dare, General Xu is looking down on the last general." ”
Seeing this, Xu Huang looked up to Gan Ning again, and he didn't talk nonsense, he raised the axe in his hand, and the veterans of the teaching battalion behind him roared, clamping the horse's belly with their feet, and with a clean and neat sound, they held the weapons in their hands tightly.
"Kill." Xu Huang and Gan Ning smiled at the same eye.
The two-meter-long iron chain in Gan Ning's hand shook slightly, and the war horse under his crotch neighed and rushed down.
Behind him, more than a dozen old brothers and soldiers then charged.
"What sound?"
General Li Guoer, who was staring at his soldiers attacking the city, suddenly changed color, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves became closer and closer.
"And state reinforcements."
Li Yu and Guo Yan glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, and they came so quickly.
It has been less than two days since the 150,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry entered Bingzhou, and Bingzhou has already quickly made a counterattack.
"Thief, die quickly."
A roar of rage, accompanied by the rolling of smoke and dust, Xu Huang's tiger roar mixed with internal strength, and suddenly resounded outside the patio pass.
On the top of the towering tower, the soldiers, including Wang Chang, were all happy.
"Reinforcements are coming."
Everyone was in high spirits, and after a day of fighting, they were already exhausted, but at this moment, they were like divine help, and they were suddenly full of energy, wielding knives and guns and smashing down the rolling wood boulders. (To be continued......)
