Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although the Great Wall of Huyukou is not as good as killing Hukou, it is also one of the strongest passes in the Ming Dynasty.
Along the winding mountain road to the inside, the fortified city is built in the place where the two mountains meet, and then go straight to the Xuanda Governor stationed in Yanghewei, the surrounding mountains are forested, the dense forest is full of wild beasts, and there is no trace from the inside.
The horse thief escaping into this place is equivalent to entering the place of death, and the mountain road leads to the grassland on one side and the Great Wall at Huyukou on the other, and there is no third road to go.
After blocking the road at the entrance of the grassland, Eruzhuo was not in a hurry, unless the horse thief could enter the customs from the mouth of the Great Wall at Huyukou, it would be difficult to fly with wings.
A small group of horse thieves who entered the mountain road to explore the way were killed by Ji Hong, and they were caught off guard, only a few people escaped, and the only mountain road made the scouts have nothing to hide.
Erruzhuo left most of the soldiers and horses to camp at the mouth of the grassland, and personally led 300 cavalry into the mountains to pursue. After going around in the mountains for nearly an hour, there are still more than 20 miles away from the mouth of the Great Wall, and there has been no horse thief.
"Could it be that the Han Department really colluded with the border army of the Ming Dynasty?" Eruzhuo had doubts in his heart.
After turning another bend, the mountain road in front of me was blocked by the trees of felled trees, and the cavalry could not pass.
"Let's take a look!"
When everyone approached, dozens of large trees with lush foliage were piled up in the mountain road.
"Get rid of these things!"
Erru Zhuo just wanted to command his own soldiers to rush up, but the sound of bowstrings in the mountains and forests on both sides, long arrows flew, and several people around him fell off their horses.
In the panic, the horse thief left more than 20 corpses and retreated 200 paces, out of range of his bow and arrows. Eru Zhuo looked at the terrain carefully, only to see that the slopes on both sides of the tree interception were slightly \u7ao
2ooo
dIt was gentle and could be climbed, and more than a hundred horse thieves were hiding in the mountains and forests with bows.
There is nothing to cover on the avenue, and the terrain is low, so it is too obvious to rely on bows and arrows to fight against the disadvantage.
In the middle of the afternoon, the sun is blocked by the high mountains on both sides, and the mountain passes are shady. Erruzhuo ordered the horse thieves to be stationed on the spot to block the mountain road, and ordered 200 men to be mobilized from the grassland mouth to prepare for a strong attack the next day.
Attacking such a steep terrain will inevitably suffer losses, but Eruzhuo can't wait, most of his subordinates are horse thieves in the Duoyan grassland, and it is not heartbroken to die more.
There was nothing to do all night, and neither side dared to act rashly in the dark.
Early the next morning, the men and horses mobilized by Eruzhuo arrived, and five hundred horse thieves rushed to the mountain pass that had been blocked yesterday. There was not a single person on the mountain path on either side of the tree pile, and the bones of several freshly cut horses appeared on the gentle slopes on both sides.
"I've killed horses to satisfy my hunger!" After many days of chasing, he didn't even have much food with him, let alone these horse thieves.
first defended according to the danger, and then killed horses to satisfy hunger, at least it shows that this group of horse thieves is not a gang of the Ming border army, so it is much easier to deal with.
"Keep searching!"
The horse thieves went four or five miles forward on the mountain road, and at a steeper mountain pass, a large number of trees had just been cut down to block the road.
The mountain roads here are narrow, making it more difficult to break through.
Eru Zhuo drew his knife and snorted coldly, "The donkey skills are exhausted, kill!" ”
Horse thieves with shields come forward to clear the trees, followed by archers who return fire.
Halfway up the hill, Ji Hong and the others used the cover of trees to kill and injure the opponent as much as possible.
Regardless of the casualties, Eruzhuo commanded the archers to step forward and suppress them. At noon, eighty percent of the trees blocking the road were cleared, and Ji Hong couldn't resist it, leaving more than 20 corpses and retreating.
The pursuing horse thief bit hard, but he didn't expect Ji Hong to concoct it two or three miles ahead, and block the way with trees, and then it was the border of the Great Wall of Huyukou, which could be seen through at a glance.
The shouts of killing in the mountains and forests echoed for two days, and the defenders of the Daming Huyukou seemed to be inaudible, but just guarded the city gate. The Ming Dynasty had strict control over the border army, and the failure of the battle was bound to be punished.
"It's the end of the road!" He was so confident that he finally lived up to Baylor's trust.
In order to prevent the horse thieves from finally escaping to the Daming border pass, he decided to order his subordinates to settle down and camp first, transport the wounded to the grassland, and mobilize 300 men and horses into the mountains to support, preparing to destroy this group of horse thieves the next day.
Mobilizing more people to come to suppress the formation is precisely to warn the Ming border army not to act rashly.
When night fell, the mountains on both sides were clouded, the shadows of the mountains were overwhelming, the roar of a tiger was faintly heard in the woods, and torches were lit around the barracks of Ruzhuo.
Troops were repeatedly transferred into the mountains, and there were only 300 horse thieves left in the barracks at the mouth of the steppe, and dozens of wounded.
At the ugly hour, when you are most asleep, you can hear heavy snoring from the tent.
The horse thief on duty heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the dark grassland, and shouted loudly: "Who is it? As soon as the words fell, the sharp arrow passed through the throat.
Xiao Zhiyan on the war horse flicked the bowstring with his index finger, obviously satisfied with the effect of his arrow.
"Camp!"
More than 800 cavalrymen no longer concealed their whereabouts, and the instant of the war horses increased, rushing to the tent in the dark.
The horse thieves were awakened, but it was too late, the enemy with scimitars was in sight, and most of them were knocked over and trampled into mud by the rushing horses before they could climb out of the tent.
"Light the tent!"
Torches were thrown at the tents and flames erupted, making the mouth of the prairie as bright as day, and the cavalry trampled back and forth.
Under the command of Xiao Zhiyan, these skilled swordsmen and horse thieves were like arms and fingers, or rushing, or shooting arrows, cutting the horse thieves with their foreheads to pieces. Sure enough, the best horse thief came from the West Exit!
The clever horse thieves fled deep into the mountains, where they had their support.
Xiao Zhiyan was not in a hurry to pursue, and only ordered his subordinates to run around the camp and shoot to drive the survivors into the mountain pass.
After more than an hour, the camp was quiet, Xiao Zhiyan left a hundred people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest stepped into the intersection of the mountain.
The firelight, the shouts, and the tall mountains blocked this qiē, and Eruzhuo in the ravine knew nothing about it.
The dark mountain road is very difficult to walk\uf
1ooo
The Floc, which had been a journey of more than an hour, now takes two hours to arrive, and the deserters are devastated and many have no horses and can only walk.
The cavalry commanded by Xiao Zhiyan rushed into the mountain road with torches and chased down the horse thieves who were left behind.
After more than half an hour, the pursuers reached a place with steep terrain, and with the help of the faint firelight, Xiao Zhiyan could see clearly that it was the place he had chosen, and the mountains on both sides were as smooth as if they had been chopped by axes.
He reined in his horses and gave a loud order: "Get off the horse and arm!" ”
Under the light of torches, the cavalry dismounted and took out their axes to cut down trees in all directions, and the thick trees were pulled and piled up in the middle of the road, which was the fastest and most effective fortification.
Before dawn, a rout finally arrived at Eruzhuo's camp and reported to him the battle at the mouth of the grassland.
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and the shrewdness is as shrewd as his forehead is gone, and of course he knows what it means.
Except for a few of the horse thieves under his command who stayed in the old camp, ninety percent of them were blocked in this narrow ramp. Before waiting for the dawn, the team was woken up and rushed to the road out of the mountain, and Eruzhuo prayed in his heart that those people had left after the sneak attack.
Reality is always crueler than fantasy.
The battle in the ravine began as the sun shone on the top of the mountain.
Eruzhuo commanded the breakthrough like a mad tiger, and after two hours, the horse thief suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted, and the fortifications in front of him were impregnable. In such a narrow trail, the defending side had a clear advantage, and unfortunately he was the attacking side both times.
The casualties made the horse thief lose the courage to attack, and Eruzhuo had no choice but to order a rest.
In the afternoon, the fighting continued. Each short break thickens the trees that block in front of you.
The trapped beasts were still fighting, and the horse thieves, who understood their situation, burst out with ferocity, and a few of them climbed out of the dense branches, and were met by cavalry who were ready to rush and kill.
At night again, Erruzhuo realized that he had fallen into a trap, this was a long-planned ambush, and if those people had put so much effort into dealing with him, it must not have been just to deal with him.
There are more than 100 enemies hidden behind him, and Eruzhuo decided to eliminate the small group of opponents who were blocked inside before seeking to break through,\

U4E24 was faced with an enemy that made it impossible for him to concentrate.
Unexpectedly, he chased him until Huyukou Pass, and no figure appeared.
"Hanbu really has a connection with Daming!" Eru Zhuo was stunned. Hanbu and Daming have a connection, what does that mean? He's going to do everything he can to report the news to Baylor, but is there still a chance?
"Breakout!" The tired horse thief charged again, and Xiao Zhiyan's subordinates retreated slightly.
"Ignition!"
The dried firewood was collected and thrown onto the trees, and the torches followed, and the fire gradually burned, and the horse thieves retreated in a hurry.
The fire burned for more than an hour, the Han cavalry stepped on the embers and rushed in, the two sides fought fiercely in the mountain road, and the Han cavalry who waited for work at ease had an obvious advantage, and forced Eruzhuo to the front of the Huyukou Pass.
The horse thieves of Eruzhuo were defeated, and Ji Hong led the only eighty remaining people to rush out of Huyukou and close the door to kill them in the back, attacking back and forth.
The border troops of the Ming Dynasty watched from afar on the pass, and they did not receive the order to attack.
"Run!" The pro-soldiers shouted loudly.
"Where are you going?" Eruzhuo looked left and right, the mountains blocked the way, he was sad in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that the horse thieves of the Duoyan grassland would be buried in this ravine.
"In the mountains, maybe you can escape."
Eruzhuo looked up at the steep slopes on either side of the mountain road, turned over and dismounted, and ran into the thorn forest where no one had ever been, and he must escape alive to tell Baylor the news.
Many horse thieves followed in his footsteps, and the mountains and forests that had not been stepped on for thousands of years were dense and impermeable, and many people climbed halfway up the mountain and rolled down and fell. Xiao Zhiyan urged him to step forward, and an arrow hit the shoulder of Ruzhuo, and under the pain, he couldn't grasp the vine and rolled to the foot of the mountain.
No one dared to resist with a sword, and the cowardly horse thief knelt on the side of the road and asked to surrender.
The battle continued until the end of the near Shen period, and Xiao Zhiyan carefully searched the nearby jungle until darkness fell.
