310 Mountain Pass
310 Mountain Pass
Ah Fei, the chief general of the vanguard army, and more than 20 deputy generals and commanders such as hot-blooded and heroic and righteous Yuntian, led the players and soldiers of the vanguard army to go deep into Zhangye County and are about to arrive in the Shandan area.
Shandan, the middle of the Hexi Corridor, an important post station leading from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, is a must-pass place for the Silk Road.
Before entering Shandan, there is a long and narrow mountain passage less than seven or eight miles wide, which is the only way to pass. The vanguard of the Xiaobai Alliance all the way, and the vanguard of the horse play army, began to contact here.
After a few days of easily subduing a large number of villages in Zhangye County, the player leaders such as Ah Fei and Hot-blooded Heroic were somewhat relaxed, and subconsciously thought that the combat effectiveness of players in Zhangye County was not worth mentioning.
The righteous clouds looked at the mountains in front of them, and there were many figures shaking between the mountains. Said steadily: "Cough~, the terrain on both sides of this place is dangerous, and only the middle can be passed." As far as I can tell, there must be ambushes on both sides. β
Ah Fei had already killed many players in Zhangye County, and he didn't care about them at all, so he said arrogantly to the players on the left and right: "There is an ambush, what about it, it is correct." Let's pass through this mountain range that is about 40 miles long, and then go over more than 80 miles, which is the territory of Shandan. There is an important town of the horse play army in Zhangye County, and it is reported that there are less than 1,000 defenders of horse play. After the important town of Shandan, less than 100 miles, it will go directly to the city of Zhangye. Brothers, we have crossed this mountain tonight, and we will be able to spend the night in Shandan tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, it will be able to hit Zhangye City. Walk! He carried a level 40 steel sword and strode forward.
Enthusiastic and proud, the others laughed, "This proposal is good, let's sleep in the open for a few days, and we should find a good place to rest." The brothers of the Warm-blooded Army followed. β
The army commanders shouted, "Okay"
More than 15,000 players and soldiers of the 20th Army entered the mountain pass in batches. A few cautious army commanders such as Yiqi Yuntian had an extra eye and let their troops walk behind.
The horn of the ox on the mountain suddenly roared, and a loud roar broke out between the mountains, and countless players and soldiers from Zhangye County poured out from the jungle and grassland, holding high all kinds of weapons, and killing the vanguard all the way.
There are also many players waving their flags and shouting from afar in the mountains, and the mountains seem to be full of ambush armies. However, their equipment is uneven, most of them are more than 30 ordinary grade weapons and equipment, animal skin armor, spears, iron spears, longbows, and few sophisticated equipment.
The vanguard army along the way clearly outperformed the enemy in terms of combat quality and weaponry. The players of the vanguard army all the way were not in a hurry, and thousands of people formed a group, under the command of the commander, each holding a sword, a wooden shield, a strong bow and a crossbow, and marched forward in a group.
"Kill ββ! Slaughtered the enemy player in Zhangye County. β
"Kill ββ! Cut down all the people of the Little White Alliance, and they must not be allowed to pass through this passage. β
"Regional Campaign Tip: The Battle of Shandan Mountain Pass begins. The Little White Alliance marched all the way to the vanguard against the defenders of the mountain passage of the Ma Playing Army. Before the end of the campaign, players in the area will not be able to go online or offline. Campaign duration: Unknown. β
The vanguard army was unstoppable all the way, although the strength was only more than 15,000, but the 120,000 ambushed troops who were ambushed here were killed by the crying father and mother, and they were defeated and retreated. Soon, the ambush army was scattered, and the whole line collapsed and fled.
The soldiers of the vanguard players shouted excitedly, chasing them desperately, "Kill, don't let them escape!" "Even the formation did not even pay attention to the formation, and chased the enemy soldiers, who had no time to flee in the future, and cut down to the ground.
More than 10,000 soldiers rushed into the mountain pass.
Mountain passes, high places.
The leaders of several alliances watched the occupation and laughed one after another, "Haha, it's a plan!" It was so easy to rush in. Don't they know that the valley is not closed? "The catapult is readyββ! Put! β
Phewββ!
Phewββ!
Dozens of huge stones, thrown from the height of the mountain, covered half of the sky, and smashed towards the vanguard army with a roar.
Along the way, the vanguard players were startled by the loud noise, and they all looked up, and boulders fell from the sky.
When it landed, there was a loud "boom" and smashed on the ground, which seemed to shake the mountain and fill the sky with dust, and suddenly overturned more than ten players. Not to mention people, even the equipment was directly smashed by the boulder, turning into white light and dissipating, and there was really no armor left.
There are not many players killed by boulders, and dozens of boulders are thrown in unison, killing more than 100 vanguard players. But this kind of power is too scary, and it will be killed directly in seconds. The players and soldiers of the vanguard army all the way changed their "color" in shock.
"Damn, they have giant stone throwers. Tricked, withdraw, withdraw! β
Ah Fei hurriedly stopped. Judging by the number of stones, at least thirty or forty huge stone throwers were placed on the mountain. Thirty or forty stone throwers were enough to break up any formation, so that the soldiers of the vanguard army could not form a group to attack. If other fortifications were to be prepared, the 15,000 men and horses who had pioneered all the way would not be able to rush through this mountain passage that was more than 40 miles long.
The commanders hurriedly beckoned their men to retreat, and the vanguard players ran wildly out of the range of the catapults.
This time, it was the turn of the Zhangye County players and soldiers who were ambushed here to get excited, and they turned back one after another, and killed the butts of the vanguard all the way.
On the high part of the mountain, several village alliance leaders in Zhangye County were excited and shouted, "The cavalry attack, kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" β
The Zhangye player cavalry, more than 5,000 cavalry, rushed towards the vanguard army of the mountain pass.
The vanguard army wanted to organize a formation to resist the cavalry that was chasing and killing, but it was scattered by a charge of the cavalry, could not hold on, fled in embarrassment, and retreated for more than ten miles, until it encountered a large army of 40,000 horses led by the Spring and Autumn Shaoxia of the Second Pioneer Army, and it did not stop.
The vanguard army lost nearly half of its men and horses in this battle.
......
Luoyang.
The eunuch Zhang Rang and others learned that He Jin had led foreign troops into Beijing and wanted to kill them. set up a plan to lure He into the palace in the name of Empress Dowager He, and wanted to kill the butcher He Jin first.
He Jin did not listen to the advice of Yuan Shao and others, and was counted in the palace and killed.
He Jin died, Yuan Shao was not seen for a long time, and immediately entered the palace. Cao Cao led the army into the palace. Yuan Shu also led an army into the palace. Lu Zhi led the army into the palace. Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang and other eunuchs were beheaded into meat paste.
The eunuchs Zhang Rang, Duan Jue and others robbed the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, smoked and burst into flames, escaped from the capital overnight, and rushed to Beibi Mountain in a panic. The second watch, chasing the soldiers, holding Duan Jue, and beheading him. Zhang Rang was in a hurry and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.
The young emperor and Chen Liuwang did not know the truth and reality, and they did not dare to raise their voices, and they crouched in the "chaotic" grass by the river.
The pursuers scattered in all directions, not knowing where the young emperor was.
......
The pioneer of the first road was chased and fled for more than ten miles, and when he encountered the vanguard army of the second road, he took up his position and gathered the remnants of the army. The player cavalry pursued by Zhangye County saw that there was another neat army all the way, and they didn't dare to make a mistake and retreated.
"Regional Battle Tips: The Battle of Shandan Mountain Ridge Pass is over, and the Xiaobai Alliance has been the vanguard all the way and has been defeated."
That night, the 2nd Route Pioneer Army battalion.
Facing the remnants of the army, who had lost more than half of them, Ah Fei hugged the thighs of the Spring and Autumn Shaoxia and cried vigorously, "It's a shame that he is a mother, they actually yin me, lure me into the valley, and hit me with stones." I don't have the face to see anyone, Shaoxia, you must avenge me. β
"Alas, don't rub your snot on my trouser legs!"
The Spring and Autumn Young Man pushed Ah Fei away, kept a distance, and then froze for a moment: "Well, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and I don't think the eldest brother will blame you for this small defeat." Isn't it just dozens of stone throwers, a trivial matter. Smash them and take revenge soon? β
Ah Fei hurried: "You go and help me smash them all." β
The Spring and Autumn Shaoxia was taken aback, "No, it can't be done, the enemy forces of the various alliances in Zhangye have been preparing in this canyon for a long time, and they can beat your vanguard all the way to such an embarrassing place, not to mention that there are sixty or seventy thousand troops." I'm not going to go head-to-head with them. It's better to wait for Sister Qiushui's three-way army to come. β
Ah Fei was ruthless: "After eating the defeated battle, I still have the face to see Sister Qiushui?" That's not enough for everyone in the Third Route Army to laugh to death. No, this loss must be recovered before the arrival of the Third Route Army. Young Hero~! β
Spring and Autumn Shaoxia goosebumps: "What do you want to do?" β
"Borrow soldiers!"
That night, the seven or eight thousand men and horses of the first vanguard army, as well as 10,000 player soldiers borrowed from the second route army, regrouped and "touched" the darkness to kill back to the mountain pass. Darkness is not good for marching troops, but it is also not good for being counterattacked by enemy troops.
The pioneers no longer passed through the flat passage under the mountain, but climbed up the jungle of the mountain in the dark, trying to destroy the dozens of rock-throwing tools set up on the high part of the mountain.
Throughout the mountain passage, there are bonfires everywhere.
Several alliances in Zhangye County, with a total of 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, guarded the passage. Each catapult is guarded by a large number of players, and because of the large number of them, they are not too worried about someone sneaking up.
Passage Defenders players didn't expect to fight back so quickly, and it was an attack launched before dawn, the darkest moment.
Flutter, flutter.
Silently, the defenders on the ridge fell one by one. The players and masters of the vanguard army all the way lightly "touched" the perimeter of the defenders' camp one by one and killed the surrounding guards.
Their skills are extremely high. Some use a blade with a very high sharpness value to cut the throat, pierce the throat and kill in seconds. Some use crossbows to "shoot" in unison, and five powerful crossbows are aimed at the vital point of a defender player, which is absolutely instantaneous, and even the screams are too late to be released.
The most terrifying thing is that the terrifying warrior players who have mastered the sword qi technique, a faint light sword qi flashed in the country, killing the five guard players of an entire squad in seconds, and it was extremely domineering. Of course, because it consumes too much internal energy, this skill can hardly be used continuously, and it can only be used in half a day.
Nearly 20,000 players in the vanguard army all 'touched' the mountain ridge and killed many players, and the players in charge of the night vigil in the mountain passage discovered them and exclaimed, "Enemy attack!" Get up! β
Ah Fei saw that the troops were exposed, and he couldn't care about hiding his traces, so he roared angrily: "Kill, kill them all, take revenge!" β
The whole army erupted in a roar, "Kill! β
In the dark night, a chaotic battle broke out up and down the entire mountain. There is no formation to speak of, all players rely on feelings, rely on sound to fight. The bonfire was still burning, but it couldn't shine everywhere, and beyond ten meters of the bonfire, it could only shine countless jumping and killing figures, which was very vague.
At this time, courage and personal combat skills, as well as the superiority and inferiority of weapons and equipment, occupied an absolutely important position.
All the way the vanguard army came with a revenge mentality, and it was an active sneak attack, and the psychological preparation was strong. Although the defenders of the mountain pass won a great victory and their morale was high, they were unexpectedly attacked in the middle of the night, and the men and horses panicked.
Dozens of Vanguard players slashed down a mountain range to guard the player, watching around a rock-throwing machine on a high platform, and watched in amazement. This catapult is different from the catapult in Little White Town.
Catapults, low seat mobile chassis, fixed on movable vehicles, with short firing distances.
Stone thrower, high seat fixed chassis, deep pile on the ground, immovable, "shooting" distance is very long. It's kind of like an anti-aircraft turret. The long end is loaded with stones in leather suits, and the short end is equipped with iron counterweights and wrapped around dozens of turns of rope. When the "shot" is fired, the rope drives the gear set to rotate, and after accelerating through the gear, it drives the lever to move and throw the stone.
"Wow, why is this stone-throwing tool so tall, I'm afraid it can be three feet high."
"Good fellow, this large weapon is valuable, and it might make a fortune. Let's get it away. β
The players made a stroke of the stake and tried to pull out the stake that had been driven into the ground and remove the stone thrower, only to find that the stake had not moved.
In the distance, there were shouts and cries for help from their comrades, who did not dare to waste time here, so they simply threw a fire on the stone thrower and burned it, and returned to the army to reinforce the friendly troops.
