The soldiers on the ship hung ropes and headed towards the shore one by one. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Will the arrows on the other side be able to withstand the pull of the slide?" Looking at the ropes that were stretched straight, and there were basically three or four people slipping down on each rope at the same time, Xuanyuan couldn't help but ask Chen Mingfeng.

"Yes, the arrows we use are all specially made, and when inserted into the target, the shaft will pop out barbs to increase the grip. As long as the arrows were not pulled back when the winch rotated before, they were enough to withstand the force of the slide. ”

"It's good that you have such an idea, and I will ask the craftsmen of the territory to continue to invest in research in this area, and develop ropes and arrows that can carry stronger tension as soon as possible."

In less than two hours, all 100,000 soldiers on board had reached the shore.

In this way, only three of the hundreds of ropes had problems, which made Xuanyuan Che very satisfied.

The equipment was transported to the river in the same way, but of course, because the war equipment was so large, it was not transported as a whole, but was disassembled into small parts and then transported to the opposite bank by rope, where it was assembled on the shore. After dawn, all the personnel and equipment had been transported to the shore, and Chen Mingfeng left with the fleet.

The river bank here is a deliberately found place, the bank is full of mountains and forests, only one path leads to the outside of the mountain, and it is a shoal, and the area of water and land alternates, and it is a mud accumulation, which cannot be stepped on. Ships cannot dock and personnel cannot cross the tidal flats, which can be regarded as a natural river bank defense line and do not need to be defended by personnel.

Therefore, although this place is extremely close to Tongguan, it is not valued by the Tongguan guards and sends troops to patrol.

It's just that they would never have thought that someone would land in this way, and the original tidal flat defense line has become an ornament, and only the mountain and forest trails can slightly delay the enemy army.

Since this place is hidden, Xuanyuan Che did not arrange for the army to find another place to station, but set up camp on a flat land near the mountains and forests, waiting for the day when Dong Zhuo arrived at Tongguan, and also let those soldiers who were not suitable for shipping recuperate.

After two days of repairing here, in the early morning of the third day, Xuanyuan Che received news that Dong Zhuo's army would enter the city in the evening.

After receiving the news, Xuanyuan Che did not immediately order the army to set off, but ordered the whole army to rest during the day and prepare for the night battle.

At dusk, the whole army was reorganized, and after eating dry food, the troops sent to Tongguan.

The two-day repair was not idle, although they could not practice, but they also cut down trees, erected trees and filled stones, and opened up a road to the outside world. Only the outer woods and shrubs were not cut down for cover.

It was just dark, and in a mountain forest on the edge of the official road leading to Tongguan, birds abandoned the forest, and there was a lot of movement, but it did not alarm anyone.

The trees in the mountains gradually collapsed to both sides, stretching outward, as if a fierce beast was marching out of the mountains, squeezing the trees.

In a short time, the last sheltered trees collapsed, and a strong army walked out of the mountains and forests without a sound. Quickly assemble an army on the official road.

Xuanyuan Che finally walked out of the mountains and forests, looked back at the mountain path that had become a smooth road, and then ordered the army to advance, close to Tongguan, which was only more than ten miles away.

At this time, in Tongguan, the lights were bright, and Dong Zhuo's army, which had not rested well for several days, was rewarded by Dong Zhuo as soon as he entered the customs.

Wine and meat into the table, originally enough for the Tongguan garrison to eat the meat and wine for half a year, all were served on the table, so that the Xiliang army who had worked hard for days was addicted, and the other officers were not satisfied with the appetite for wine and meat, and pulled the women from the accompanying people to accompany the wine, while eating and drinking, while playing, but the Tongguan garrison was jealous, but they could only swallow saliva and watch from afar.

On the city wall, several soldiers who were keeping vigil listened to the noisy and noisy sound coming from the pass, and their faces were full of reluctance.

The little soldier couldn't help it, and took the lead in scolding: "Damn, Lao Tzu's wine and meat have been eaten by these Xiliang dogs raised by sons of bitches." ”

At this opening, the others couldn't help it, and they all complained in low voices.

"Seeing that the day of additional meals is coming, being eaten by these Xiliang dogs like this, where is there still our share, I'm afraid we won't want to add meals in the next few months."

"Don't look at the majesty of these Xiliang dogs now, they are eating and drinking in our place, I just heard from the captain that this time the Xiliang dogs were driven out of Luoyang, and now there is a large army chasing after them."

"I've also heard that it's General Xuanyuan who is still chasing these bitches, and General Xuanyuan is a hero who has just been named a hussar general, and he has the title of county marquis, so it's normal to chase these Xiliang dogs."

"Yes, by the way, I heard that General Xuanyuan is from a different person and has his own territory, this is not the kind given by the emperor, it was built by himself, and everything in the territory belongs to the general."

"Wow, this can be done, isn't this a vassal state, those Han princes can't compare."

…………

"Shhhh

Just scolded a few words, and this topic was actually crooked to Xuanyuan Che, which can be regarded as their strong thinking.

While they were talking, one of the soldiers with better ears heard something, and immediately silenced them and listened attentively.

The sound of heavy footsteps came like muffled thunder, and now all the soldiers of the night watch heard it, and the sound of conversation was gone, replaced by the sound of heavy breathing.

There were already soldiers who went to report to the general of the vigil, and in a few moments, a burly general in neat armor led a team to catch up with the city wall.

Without being reminded by other soldiers, the sound of louder and louder footsteps had clearly reached the city wall, but it was only because the weather was gloomy, there was no star and moon, and Xuanyuan Che's army did not set up torches, so it was impossible to see who was coming.

But just by the sound of neat footsteps, the general understood that there were definitely a lot of people coming, and they were well-trained and a strong force.

This matter is beyond his control, while ordering the soldiers to light torches and reorganize the army for battle, he also sent people to spread the word to the general of Tongguan, as well as the emperor who has just entered the pass today, or Dong Zhuo.

This general stared at the outside of the city, and couldn't figure out in his heart, where did the strong army come from, so persecuting Tongguan, is it for the emperor who just entered the pass today? Could it be that there are people in Kannai who want to rebel?

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and I hurriedly threw these cranky thoughts out of my mind and guarded them carefully.

Suddenly, the sound of thunderous footsteps stopped together, and it was unbelievable that orders and prohibitions could still be carried out in the dark night, and it also made the general look up to this kind of army even more, and he became more and more fearful.

Not long after, I saw that in the darkness, a few fires lit up, and then spread to both sides, torches, countless torches gradually lit up, illuminating this strong army, and also indicating that this operation has entered the most critical moment.
