Chapter 89, 30,000 iron horsemen buried in the valley
After the Xiongnu iron cavalry broke through the pass, the city gate was knocked down, killing more than 3,000 soldiers who had no ability to resist.
After the Xiongnu made a slight adjustment, they left troops to garrison and continued to move south, burning, killing and looting, looting the nearby villages and counties, the fire and smoke soared into the sky, and the people wailed all over the field.
The news of the loss of Shenmu, Yulin, and Yanchi City Gates soon reached the military tent of Meng Tian in Yanmen Pass, and Meng Tian was in a great hurry, pacing back and forth in the military tent and thinking, at a loss.
Now outside the Yanmen Pass, the 300,000 Xiongnu army led by Touman has not moved, and his 200,000 army is confronting, if he marries the army to intercept, the Yanmen Pass is bound to be empty, it is easy to lose, once the Yanmen barrier is lost, the Qin Dynasty hard work to lay the land of Yan Zhao will be in vain, Yanmen County, Dai County and other northeast six counties will be easily occupied by the Xiongnu, then he will become a sinner through the ages.
But if you don't intercept it, the three Hun cavalry will loot in Shangjun unscrupulously, and even go south to form an army of 100,000 iron cavalry to coerce Xianyang, although Xianyang has a heavy guard, not afraid of 100,000 iron cavalry, but it is bound to make the court panic, the national prestige is humiliated, His Majesty is angry, blame him.
He has followed His Majesty for many years, from assisting him to ascend the throne to the current unification of the Six Kingdoms, he has made many unknown secret orders for His Majesty, and he is His Majesty's most trusted general, so His Majesty handed him the burden of stabilizing the country.
Ran Touman's step can be described as far-sighted, presumably after a long period of planning and preparation, he is in a dilemma, no matter what decision he makes, he will definitely lose his trust in His Majesty.
Although he knew in his heart that His Majesty would not kill him no matter what, or even understand him, it would be difficult to be reused again, His Majesty's character he knew best, and a virtuous person would let him show his talents, and his talents would be exhausted, and his merits were like blank paper.
"The top priority is to hope that Meng Yi knows the current situation, please go to war, lead the troops to intercept the raging Huns, and save some face!" Meng Tian said melancholy in his heart.
......
Su Ketuo led 30,000 iron cavalry, has been attacking Shangjun for three days, but Meng Tian's army has not arrived, looking at the devastated Shenmu, Wuxian has guessed that the Xiongnu must have a large army in Yanmen Pass, causing Meng Tian to choose to abandon Shangjun and defend Yanmen, this choice is also expected by Wuji.
The cold wind was whining, the hair was flying, and he looked at the Hun soldiers guarding the gate from afar, waiting for the time to come.
A golden-eyed eagle flew high in the air in the distance, with golden wings that were one zhang long, and after a while, it slowly fell to the side of Wuxian and turned into a volley.
Ling Kongzi said: "The Qin army has sent 100,000 troops to rush here, the Hun cavalry has been blocked, there is no choice to fight, it is withdrawing here, and in less than an hour, it will pass through here!"
Wuji asked, "Who is the general of the Qin soldiers?"
"The word 'Meng' is written on the flag, it should be Meng Tian's younger brother, Meng Yi, who is only a dozen miles away from this Xiongnu, but the distance between them is getting bigger and bigger, and it must be impossible to catch up with the Xiongnu. ”
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Pass the order, go up the mountain and ambush, and wait for my order!"
Ling Kongzi said: "Okay, I'll do it!" After speaking, he went down the mountain.
When Wuqi supervised the construction of the city wall, most of the conscripts knew that Wujian and Wei Bi General had a close relationship, and everything was assigned by Wu Bi, and Wei Bi handed over full power to him, never asked, guessing that Wu Jian must be an official of the DPRK and China, and since Wu Jian supervised the construction of the city wall, the conscripts suffered a lot, could get a better rest, ate a little more, and the epidemic could be effectively controlled, and the number of deaths every day was greatly reduced.
What's more, Wu Ji expected that the Xiongnu would invade, and one day in advance, nearly 20,000 people, on the pretext of carrying stones, all moved to the barren mountains of Shenmu, and were not slaughtered by the Xiongnu, saving their lives.
These 20,000 conscripts are now all behind the mountains in this narrow valley outside Shenmu Pass, as long as the Huns return to this valley, they will be allowed to stay in the valley, and what they are waiting for without obstacles is this opportunity to become famous in a war, an opportunity that has been ignored by the Huns.
After a short time, Jin Xingzi and Ling Kongzi came to Wuji's side with several strong men, these strong men were the commanders selected by Wuji, and they were needed to carry out the order, and Wushu immediately deployed them.
......
The Huns' iron cavalry swept the yellow sand, the hooves rumbled, full of plundered materials, and they rushed from the gate to the gate with a shout, and this time they gained a lot, and they sacked for three whole days, and every cavalryman's face was full of smiles.
The Huns who defended the city saw that Su Ketuo returned with the cavalry, and were overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and after reporting the situation of the past three days to Xu Ketuo, Su Ketuo nodded, looked back at the pass, seemed to be unwilling, hesitated for a moment, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Withdraw!"
Out of Shenmu Pass, Meng Tian will lose the opportunity to intercept him, and Meng Yi, who is chasing from the rear, can only pounce, and the Huns will escape.
The Hun iron cavalry lined up in a long line, slowly passing through the narrow valley, everything was very calm, not long after Suketuo entered the valley, the Howling Tiger who sat down, suddenly stopped, seemed to smell something, bared his fangs, and roared a few times, Suketuo knew that the Xiaotian Tiger must have found an abnormality, so he would have such a reaction, and immediately shouted: "Stop!" The sound shook the valley, the Hun cavalry immediately reined in the reins, the long cavalry team stopped in the valley, and the valley became extremely quiet, and only the wind in the valley could be heard.
Su Ketuo looked around for a long time, and didn't find any problems, but thought, if Meng Tian had led troops to intercept him, he would have gotten the news of the Great Khan a long time ago, and Meng Yi would not have come to stop it so quickly, so that his tiger division and the wolf division of Huyan Scorching Sun could not meet, and could only evacuate from the Shenmu, the defenders of this Shenmu were all killed, and even the conscripts were killed, this place was already empty, how could anyone ambush in this valley.
Su Ketuo ordered: "Keep going, be fast!" patted the tiger head of the Howling Tiger, and said with a smile: "I didn't let you eat Meng Yi's meat, let's play tricks, don't worry, his meat will be yours sooner or later!"
The Tiger sniffed again, but did not seem to find anything, and stretched out its head and stretched out its stout legs, 'Poof!' and walked slowly, continuing to follow the group, and in a short time the whole cavalry was already marching through the valley.
......There was a series of loud noises on the top of the mountain, the smoke rolled up, the fire filled the sky, the whole valley shook the mountain, huge stones burst out from the top of the mountain, the dust rolled up, roared and rolled down, like a flash flood, set off a huge wave of rolling stones several feet high on the hillside.
Before, the faces of the Hun cavalry were still silent with joy, but now, with their eyes wide and their mouths open, completely replaced by desperate fear, the mountain was angry, the sky had fallen, and they were to be buried alive.
Su Ketuo couldn't understand that he would encounter such a situation, even if he was brave and brave, he could only be dumbfounded at the moment, even if he had three heads and six arms, he could not stop this catastrophe, this disaster was irresistible to manpower, and this disaster must not be done by man.
There is no need to give any orders at this moment, because everyone's ears are roaring, and there is no need to run away at this moment, because the two slopes of the entire long valley are roaring, and there is no way to avoid it, and it is difficult to fly, and there is no need to think much about it at this moment, because it is too late.
In an instant, huge falling rocks hit the cavalry who could not dodge, and the people on their backs flipped over, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, which was unbearable to see.
In the valley, boulders churned, rubble flew, screams and screams were completely covered by rumbling, corpses were crushed and crushed, and finally buried.
The Howling Tiger roared angrily, jumped up, and carried Suketuo to avoid the flying boulder, Suketuo didn't have time to think about it, his eyes widened angrily, and he picked up the goose winged long knife, and smashed the boulder that could not be avoided, and the power was infinite.
The mountain collapsed for a long time, the valley was full of falling rocks, the valley was built up several feet high, the rumbling gradually stopped, the north wind was cold, the dust was blown away, the blood flowed in the ground, the mourning of people and horses, from near and far, clearly audible.
Su Ketuo stood the long knife on his side, he was already gray-faced, sweating profusely, looking at the narrow valley, 30,000 iron horsemen were buried in it in an instant, only a few dozen people were seriously injured, how could he accept such a result, this is the elite of his whole clan, with them to make his clan not bullied by foreigners, and only then did he have a place among the Huns, but this natural disaster for some unknown reason, actually took them all away, his heart was bleeding, he couldn't stop trembling, and suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, "Why!" sonic shock valley.
Suddenly, I found that a thin figure appeared on the top of the mountain, his clothes were flying, his eyes were cold, and several people were gradually revealed behind him, and then he looked at the top of the mountains on both sides of the entire valley, all of them were people.
Suketuo immediately understood that this was not a natural disaster, this was their doing, but where did these people come from, why did they suddenly appear here, looking up to the sky and shouting, "Who are you? Why are you ambushing us!"
Wuxian did not answer, and the volley behind him shouted: "We are conscription!
Even though Suketuo was full of anger, he was still puzzled, the conscripts here had been killed by him, how could there suddenly be so many, if it was an ambush, why not ambush when he came, but when he left, so that they were defenseless, and this ambush did not use a person at all, so he pushed this mountain down, and must have used a mysterious magic circle, who is this thin young man, why did he do this, he is so calm, how can it be an ordinary requisition, and he pointed angrily and said: "Report the name, this revenge will be avenged!"
Ling Kongzi said: "Little Master!"
When Suketuo heard this, he was even more angry, and shouted angrily: "There is a seed to come down, and you will have a life and death battle with your grandfather!"
Ling Kongzi said with a smile: "You can only live for a few years, and you are called grandpa, then your junior will not whine in the mother's womb, don't worry, now is not the time to kill you, so many people have died, and the mood is naturally not good, you can take a breath and calm down your good mood!"
Suketuo's lungs were blown up, "I'm going to kill you!" Rising from the tiger, his anger rose, and he jumped towards the top of the mountain with a long knife with goose wings.
Before jumping to the mountainside, the volley jumped down, opened his mouth, 'Oh!', made a piercing sound, set off a violent wind, the Howling Tiger was shocked by this piercing sound, immediately turned the tiger's head, and rushed back down the mountain like a madman, almost throwing Su Ketuo away.
Ling Kongzi laughed: "You Howling Tiger is so cowardly, you were so scared by a roar from the poor road, such a mount, what are you riding it for!"
Su Ketuo was helpless at this time, endured his anger and heartache, stabilized the Howling Tiger, and said angrily: "Since you don't dare to duel with me, and you don't dare to report your name, okay, I remember your appearance, and I will return this revenge!"
But he didn't go far, but he found that the exit outside the gate had been surrounded by tens of thousands of conscripts, led by a grinning toothed Taoist priest.
