Chapter 951: The Valley of the First Line
Updated: 2011-12-23
The Yan army retreated all the way north, and the Wei army followed closely step by step, and the situation was still tense.
Although Sima Haoyue fell into the hands of the Yan army, the Wei army threw a mouse trap and did not dare to attack the Yan army for a while, but no one can guarantee that there are other generals in the Shannan army who will wake up and would rather bear the charge of killing Sima Haoyue by mistake than annihilate the Yan army, so the Yan army retreated very quickly. Among the Yan army, Zhu Xiaoyan is naturally more familiar with this mountainous area, and many Yan army generals were quite suspicious of Zhu Xiaoyan before, thinking that the Yan army was surrounded by Zhu Xiaoyan as the reason for leading the way, and even felt that Zhu Xiaoyan might be a traitor in the army.
But on the battlefield, Zhu Xiaoyan killed the enemy in blood, and he had proved everything with his actions, so when he retreated, Zhu Xiaoyan still led the way of retreat.
The Yan army is not good at mountain warfare, and the march in the mountains is also dizzy, if there is no guidance, in this group of mountains, it is difficult to get out.
At noon the next day, the Yan army was exhausted and slowed down, and the Wei army behind them was pressing step by step, and the two sides were only a few miles away, as long as the Wei army had an attack order, the Wei army would be able to attack and kill in an instant.
Han Mo had already felt that Wang Siyu's body was very heavy on the way, knowing that this Yan army general had passed away, his heart was sad and angry, and he was even more anxious when he saw that the Yan army soldiers were moving slowly.
He knew that the eyes of the Wei army were always staring at himself and his subordinates, and their delay in not moving was nothing more than a rat trap, but once the Yan army was tired and weak, and the Wei army saw that the Yan army was unable to fight again, there may not be no one in the Wei army who did not move.
In the Wei army's array, what is lacking at this time is the first person to stand up, as long as the slightest prestige general stands up and gives the order to attack, the situation is only afraid of a big change.
Just when he was in a hurry, Zhu Xiaoyan turned back from the front and said to Han Moyu: "The front is the first-line valley, as long as we enter the first-line valley, we can get out." ”
Han Mo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the whole army to stick forward.
At this time, the shouts of the Wei army came from the rear, Han Mo knew that something was wrong, Zhu Xiaoyan had already said: "I'm afraid they guessed that we were going to enter the first-line valley, and after entering the first-line valley, they didn't want to see us leave." ”
The Wei army really picked up their speed, and they seemed to finally realize something, and the archers began to rush forward and shoot arrows at the Yan army.
The rear team of the Yan army had already had a group of shield hands holding shields to resist, and the whole team heard that there was a first-line valley in front, and saw that the Wei army was attacking in the rear, and the originally weak body suddenly tensed, and in the shouts of the generals, they quickly advanced to the first-line valley.
The valley, as the name suggests, is an extremely narrow valley among the mountains, narrow and curved, with steep mountains on both sides, looking up at the sky from the valley, like a line of sky.
When the Yan army retreated, Zhu Xiaoyan thought about it in his heart, if he wanted to get out of the mountains, it would be impossible to get rid of the Wei army in three or five days, if he couldn't get rid of the Wei army as soon as possible, and the Wei army would always follow behind like a wolf, and sooner or later something would go wrong, so when he withdrew the army, he always thought about how to get rid of the Wei army in his mind.
After thinking about it, he finally thought of such a place.
The entrance to the first-line sky is also extremely narrow, and it can only be three horses in parallel, and there is no more place to squeeze one person, and when you enter at the same time, you can only travel four or five people at a time.
The Wei army has quickly pursued over, but the rear team of the Yan army has already exchanged hands with the Wei army, and fought and retreated, at the critical moment, the front team of the Yan army finally saw the entrance of the first line of heaven, Han Mo had already shouted loudly: "Brothers, enter the valley quickly, don't delay!" ”
The Yan army also knew that the situation was critical, and the rear team relied on the terrain to block the Wei army, but the front team had already begun to enter the valley.
Zhu Xiaoyan stepped forward and said to Han Mo: "You go quickly, I'll break the queen!" ”
Han Mo shook his head and said: "You know the way, hurry up and lead the way, after I come to break it, whether the brothers can go back alive or not depends on you." ”
Zhu Xiaoyan groaned slightly, and the sound of fighting in the rear team faintly came, he knew that he couldn't delay, and he didn't be verbose, so he bowed his hand to Han Mo and said, "Take care!" ”
Han Mo smiled indifferently, and also hugged his fists and said, "Take care!" ”
Zhu Xiaoyan galloped over and entered the first-line valley, while Han Mo was holding a blood copper stick and guarding outside the valley mouth, watching the soldiers of the Yan army go inside.
The sound of fighting behind became clearer and clearer, Han Mo had already seen a large number of Wei troops rushing towards the first-line valley, and immediately lifted the body of Wang Siyu behind him, and said calmly: "Brother Wang, it seems that we are going to have a big killing." At that moment, he was full of spirit and urged the horse to meet the Wei army.
……
Zhu Xiaoyan led the soldiers of the Yan army to advance forward in the narrow and curved line of sky, this line of heaven and ground is also flat, but there are steep mountain walls on both sides, looking up, it is like two big stone slabs sandwiching the soldiers in the middle, and as the rumors say, looking at the sky in this valley, you can only see a line of sky, which is really a veritable first-line valley.
Just walking in this valley, the soldiers felt a sense of oppression, and it always made people feel that the dodge on both sides was about to collapse at any time, crushing everyone to death in this valley.
And in this valley, it is extremely dark and cold, and the deep valley is extremely bright and dark.
Many people were even more worried that if there were Wei troops ambushed on the top of the mountains on both sides of this valley, they would only need to throw huge boulders and trees down from above, or shoot arrows indiscriminately, for fear that no one would be spared.
Walking forward, this line valley is not only narrow, but also extremely long, and a Yan general beside Zhu Xiaoyan asked softly: "Let's go like this, how long will it take to get out?" Will the Wei army find a way to intercept us from the exit? ”
Zhu Xiaoyan shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry, they have to go around to the exit, and it will take at least a day to arrive, and at that time, we have already walked out of the first-line valley." ”
Only then was everyone relieved.
It didn't take long for a soldier to come up from behind and say to Zhu Xiaoyan: "General, the general instructed you to take your brothers out of the first-line valley as soon as possible, out of the first-line valley, you should decide in what direction you should evacuate!" He looked at Sima Haoyue, who had fainted on Zhu Xiaoyan's horseback, and said: "The general also said that try to leave his life as much as possible, he is still useful, if the general fails to keep up in time, let you return to the army, and hand Sima Haoyue over to Governor Han!" ”
Zhu Xiaoyan has always shown people with a mask, and everyone only knows that he is Han Mo's cronies, and he has a very high status among the wind riders, but no one knows his true identity.
But Zhu Xiaoyan fought in a bloody battle on the battlefield, and killed two Wei generals with two arrows, although it was not as dazzling as Han Mo, but it was also shining with brilliant light, and the Yan army soldiers were very admired, so this soldier didn't know how to call him, he could only call him "general".
"How is the Great General now?"
"The general led fifty brothers to guard the entrance of the first-line valley and blocked it with large stones, and the Wei army wanted to come in, and it was very difficult." The soldier said: "But if the time is long, the Wei army will find a way to attack sooner or later, so the general asked the small one to come over and spread the word, don't delay, get out as soon as possible." ”
Zhu Xiaoyan nodded and beckoned: "Hurry up, everyone, the Wei army may catch up at any time." ”
Although everyone was tired and hungry, and the physical strength was lacking, and people were almost about to collapse, the situation dictated that they had to drag their tired bodies and continue to move forward in this dark and cold valley.
……
Less than ten meters from the entrance of the first-line valley, several boulders have been blocked, and this place is really a one-man pass, although Han Mo only took fifty people to stay behind, but the Wei army could not enter the valley for a while.
Behind the boulder, five tall Yan soldiers held shields, impermeable, and behind the five shieldmen, there were five pikemen, followed by archers.
Han Mo was in the center, riding on a peerless horse, carrying a bloody copper stick, and coldly looking at the enemy.
This time, the rear team of the Yan army fought with the Wei army after the break, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded, and less than 2,000 people entered the first-line valley alive, that is to say, the soldiers of the Yan army who were transferred to intercept Sima Haoyue this time have lost half.
At the mouth of the valley of the first line of the valley, countless times lying horizontally and vertically, the last sudden attack of the Wei army was extremely fierce, and the casualties on both sides were extremely heavy, when the last Yan army fell in a pool of blood, Han Mo in the valley had already led fifty brave warriors to build another obstacle of one man.
The first-line valley is very narrow, although the Wei army is like a cloud, and it is densely packed everywhere outside the first-line valley, but this first-line valley can only merge four or five people at a time, and it cannot give full play to the advantage of troops.
Although the Yan army only had fifty people, it relied on a small obstacle to keep tens of thousands of Wei troops out of the first-line valley.
The generals of the Wei army outside the first-line valley were also discussing urgently, and they all looked extremely anxious, but also extremely indignant.
After Sima Haoyue was captured, they could only watch the Yan army break out of the encirclement, and the Wei army could only follow closely, in fact, at that time, the Wei generals were all in one mind, neither dared to order an attack, but they were unwilling to let the Yan army evacuate safely.
didn't dare to attack, naturally because he was worried about hurting Sima Haoyue.
After all, Sima Haoyue is a member of the royal family and has a noble status in the Wei State, if anyone easily orders an attack and causes Sima Haoyue to be killed, then the whole clan will definitely not be able to escape.
Because of this, tens of thousands of Wei troops and dozens of Wei generals, but none of them dared to act rashly.
It wasn't until he understood that the Yan army was going to use the first-line valley to retreat, and some of the Wei generals finally woke up.
If the Yan army really evacuated with the first-line valley and captured Sima Haoyue alive, it would be the most humiliating encounter in the history of the Shannan Army, and those who know Sima Haoyue's temperament know that if this is the case, Sima Haoyue would rather die than have such a shameful humiliation on the back of the Shannan Army.
In desperation, several senior generals of the Shannan Army got together, and after discussion, they finally issued an order to attack, even if it caused Sima Haoyue to die, it must be more glorious than being captured by the Yan army alive.
Before the boulder barrier, there were already a lot of corpses of Wei soldiers, the spears of the Yan army behind the boulder were like poisonous snakes, as long as the Wei army approached, they stabbed mercilessly, it was very fierce, and in the blink of an eye, several people were stabbed to death, and for a while, the Wei soldiers behind did not dare to rush forward.
After such a stalemate for a long time, he suddenly heard Wei Jun's voice full of anger: "Ready!" ”
"Shoot!"
Immediately, he saw a burst of rockets coming from the middle of the Wei army, the rockets were like locusts, falling among the fifty Yan soldiers, and several Yan soldiers were shot dead at the moment, Han Mo waved the blood copper stick in his hand, blocked a few rockets, and shouted: "Don't move in front, others raise their shields!" ”
The Wei army did not stop shooting arrows, the rockets whizzed, and after several Yan soldiers were hit by arrows, their clothes were already burning.
