In addition, because of the dietary habits of the Indians, many soldiers have serious night blindness, and such a blind infantry unit is really not much of a threat to Feng Tang, the elite of the Qin army.
From the night of March 2 to the morning of March 3.
For the Sunga, it was a disastrous night, not only because the city of Daro, which had nearly 50,000 men, was burned down, but also because the infantry regiment stationed outside the city was attacked by a group of unknown militants, and the infantry with a strength of 2,000 men was routed in just one night, nay, two hours to be exact.
Under the cover of night, the Xunjia infantry regiment, which was preparing to support the city, had just left the camp and was blocked in the middle of the road, Feng Tang did not have such an unrealistic idea of total annihilation, he wanted a quick victory that was enough to deter the Indians.
Of the 2,000 infantry, in addition to the more than 300 who remained at the garrison, more than 760 were killed in the night battle, and the rest were scattered and disappeared.
After eliminating this threatening force, Feng Tang ordered the troops to quickly turn around and march in the direction of the Solomon Pass, the main task of this interspersed is to open the passage of the pass, and now, while the Sunga people are busy dealing with the fire in the city of Daro, it is undoubtedly the most suitable time to launch a reverse assault on the Solomon Pass.
On Solomon's Pass.
Not long ago, the Xunjia guards, who were happily looking down on the movements of the Qin army at the foot of the mountain, have now completely lost the refreshment of being on top, and the purple-black face of Pusiamituo's younger brother Sha Ou showed a bit of annoyance and uneasiness.
Supplies to the rear have been cut off for three days. Without food supplies and firewood supplies, they can only freeze to death and starve to death if they continue to defend this cold pass.
"General, what shall we do? Without food, without firewood, if we stay here, it will only be a dead end! At Sha'o's side, several Sunga soldiers gathered around him and asked.
Sha Ou glared impatiently and scolded: "What about death, do you want to be deserters?" If you flee today, tomorrow the Qin people will rob your home and kidnap your wives and children, think about it, right? ”
"It's-!" The hopeless Xunjia civilian soldiers shook their heads and sighed and retreated, but they kept scolding in their hearts, their civilians' homes were nothing more than a wooden shed, and there were no belongings in it except for the necessary living utensils, and the Qin people had nothing to rob.
As for the wives and children, the military discipline of the Qin people has always been good, and things like burning, killing and looting can only be done by those defeated soldiers of Persia. Therefore, if the Qin people really want to rob, they will only rob rich nobles like Sha Ou.
The night is getting darker.
On the pass, there was only a little ash left from the fire, which had been lit brightly, and the cold and shivering Sunga soldiers shrank into the stone hut in disappointment, they were now in a desperate mood, and only hoped that they would hear the order to descend the mountain soon.
In a leeward room on the ground floor, Shaou leaned against the still glowing stone wall, no longer in high spirits.
These days, the Qin army at the foot of the opposite mountain is still unhurriedly turning back and forth a few times a day, and when the mood comes, these Qin soldiers will also launch one or two tentative attacks, but such an attack momentum, at the beginning, Sha Ou will be happy to repel the enemy's attack, but now it is all deceived anger.
The fire in Darrow City, Sha Ou had already judged from the chaos in the rear, but he still didn't know how much damage this fire had caused, if the entire baggage supplies were burned, then their group of abandoned and forgotten people would really be crying out every day.
Moreover, on the line of Mount Suleiman, there is not only the pass of Solomon, the entire mountain range stretches from the end of the ocean to the Pamir Plateau, there are no less than 20 large and small passes, although the Solomon Pass is held between Persia and India, but no one can guarantee that the Qin army will not enter the South Asian continent from another pass.
――。
The northern slope of the pass.
Qiu Lijin, a Wuhuan man, was like a groundhog at this time, hiding in the newly hollowed out cave under the depression, and after a long time of little bit of transportation, there were now 300 soldiers in this small depression.
Unlike the Indians who were frozen by the cold wind above the pass, in this small leeward depression, the Wuhuan people built a shed similar to the cold in the snow, only a small part of this shed was exposed, and most of the rest were hidden deep underground, hiding in it except that they could not make a fire, and the Wuhuan people were very comfortable compared with the Indians above.
"Great Chief, is the fire up there?" The Wuhuan soldier who was in charge of watching crawled back and whispered excitedly.
"Do you see clearly, is it really extinguished, or is it unfortunately blown out by the wind?" There was no expression on Qiu Li's golden brown face, these days of hard work and dedication, seeing that the fruit was about to be picked, he didn't want to waste days of hard work because of a momentary negligence.
You only get one chance.
Qiu Lijin knew that in order to change the status of the Wuhuan people and strive to occupy a place among the various ethnic groups of the Qin State, he and his Wuhuan warriors had to go all out.
The Wuhuan sentry who heard Qiu Lijin's order turned his head and crawled in the direction of the cave again, he didn't dare to show his body too much, for fear of being discovered by the pass sentry, finally, after careful observation for a while, the sentry nodded slightly with satisfaction, and made a forward gesture to the rear.
"Attack! For the sake of the Great Wuhuan. ”
"Attack, never retreat!" Qiu Lijin let out a low roar, and with his hands and feet rushing out of the low hole, under his leadership, one by one the soldiers of the Qin army of the Wuhuan tribe rushed towards the direction of the pass like a pack of wolves on the grassland.
From the foot of the mountain to the pass, there is a five-kilometer long mountain road, and from the depression to the pass, the distance has been shortened to six hundred paces, and in this distance, if the Wuhuan people are fast enough, they can reach a suitable place to attack before the sentry at the pass hears the footsteps.
Clusters of black shadows are running on the mountain beams!
If it had been before, the bright light of the fire in the pass had completely exposed the Wuhuan people, but now, in the dark night, it was impossible to see anything clearly, and the two Sunga sentries guarding the pass were huddled tightly together with each other, hoping that the changing of the guard companions who came to replace them would arrive soon.
When Qiu Lijin landed at the pass, the first warriors of the Wuhuan clan had successfully eliminated the unlucky sentinel, and quickly charged in the direction of the enemy's stone house.
The chaotic footsteps outside finally woke Sha Ou up, and his reaction was quite fast, and after judging that he was touched by the enemy, he immediately ordered all the soldiers guarding the pass to rush out and fight the enemy to the death. At this time, it is impossible to defend it alone, because when it is dawn, the Qin army will send reinforcements in a steady stream.
Therefore, only by killing all the enemies that touched it could it be possible to hold the pass, and Sha Ou rushed out of the house first, and met the old guy Chu Lijin head-on.
That's right.
Compared with the young and strong Shaou, Qiu Lijin is over fifty years old, he is indeed a little weak, but the rich battlefield experience is still there, seeing a burly man rushing out of the enemy house, Qiu Lijin immediately reacted, this strong man is an important person even if he is not a defending enemy general.
"Shoot!"
With Qiu Lijin's order, the Wuhuan people on the left and right opened their bows one by one, and only shot at Sha Ou with a whoosh.
"Ahh With a scream, Sha'ou, a warrior of the Sunga tribe, was hit by several arrows in the head and chest and abdomen, and staggered a few more steps in pain, and finally fell diagonally.
"Go and cut off his head?" Qiu Lijin shouted coldly.
As soon as Sha'ou died, the remaining Sunga soldiers who were hiding in the house did not dare to come out, and they relied on the protection of the stone house to try to put up a dying resistance, but because of this, the Sunga naturally relinquished control of the pass.
The Wuhuan people's sweep of Solomon's Pass ended when the sun rose at the end of the day, and the Sunga soldiers in the stone house were not able to see the sun rise the next day, and they were burned to death in the house by the direct order of Chulijin. (To be continued.) )
