Chapter Forty-Nine: Juyong Pass is in a hurry

The Draining Blood Army, as one of the iron armies that the nine branches of Daliang rely on as the cornerstone of the pillar country, is known as the first in the world in terms of combat power.

Such a big tone and such rampant words are not just arrogant and arrogant self-boasting, but relying on a sect that makes others dare not look directly at it at all, and dare not have any thoughts, only the accumulation of military exploits that kneel down and look up at is piled up by relying on the corpses of countless ancestors of the Bloody Army and the fierce rush to kill.

These are glorious medals, and they are the real history that the whole army of the Bloody Army is proud of!

Behind these extremely domineering names, there is no one who is not built with a pile of corpses as high as 100 zhang in Beijing, so that it can be inherited and indestructible!

The Bloody Army has always been the most brave, with the highest casualties and the most killed enemies, which is the main reason why they are named "Bloody Army".

And even more of a bloody past, which is shrouded in a layer of blood-colored brilliance in their entire army, is this bloody army, which was originally known as the old department of Chang Dingfang, the first god of Daliang who will descend to earth!

The young talent first led the troops, then the first emperor favored, named it the Marquis of Wansheng, and then only twenty-one years old, he personally led the main force of the Liang army, with an absolutely inferior force on the shore of Yanran Lake to meet several times the Jin army of several parties, the young commander Ruoding, the first soldier, straight to kill the other party to lose his armor, collapse into an army, a battle to kill 600,000 enemies, pit killing 300,000 soldiers, since then famous, for the attention of all countries, if its name is reported, in the Jin country can be frightened children to stop crying, and even become the soldiers who escaped back after the war are unforgettable nightmares in their lives。

It's a pity that the young man who was jealous of the talent, who was about to become the pillar of the Liang country, suddenly contracted a vicious disease and died suddenly, the pillar of heaven collapsed, and the whole country was sad.

What I just said, no matter what it is, has added a touch of miracle to his short and brilliant life that is difficult to forget.

Throughout the ages, there have been many generals who have become famous as a teenager and even later achieved great achievements, but he is destined to be the only one who will be remembered and longed for by the world forever!

After Chang Dingfang died of illness on the shore of Yanran Lake, the blood army that originally belonged to his old department was very sad, and then without prevarication, he directly accepted the order of the imperial court to guard Yanzhou for the imperial court, and forever accompanied by the general Chang Dingfang, across Yanran Lake, and across the lake from the old opponent of the Jin State.

After the Great Liang, a huge amount of manpower and material resources were consumed, and in the case of no danger to rely on, it was just here to rise from the ground and build a majestic pass, called Juyong Pass!

The world says that this is the first emperor to remember the Chang Dingfang, so he did not hesitate to hollow out the national strength to build a different kind of tomb for him, he fought for the Great Liang in all directions, hard work, and after his death, he also followed his last wishes, continued to guard the pass for the Great Liang Town, life and death.

From these whether it is the real history, or the wild history that is false, in short, the status and role of Juyong Pass, naturally there is no need to repeat too much, here is the gateway to the continuous defense line in the north of Yanzhou, if the Jin people on the opposite side want to take the initiative to invade Yanzhou, they must first break through the Juyong Pass, which is up to three layers and is heavily defended by Da Liangbu.

Not to mention the firmness of this Juyong Pass, just to say that this head is bigger than the sky, although its number is only 200,000, it can be said that it is far inferior to the Xiong Zhen army in Yanzhou and the Yuyang and Tiger Ben armies in Youzhou on the other side, but the blood army is well-equipped, and on the side of Liangguo, it is second only to the Gongwei Jingshi and the Xiao Cavalry Guard.

If nothing else, let's just say that the mount that the 200,000 cavalry rode under the crotch was the Hulan Divine Horse that was at the level of a divine horse above the war horse ridden by the Fierce Guard, and this alone was enough to make the cavalry of the rest of the armies envious to death.

Not only that, but in the bloody army, whether it is a fast horse and a light horse or a heavy armored horse, all the soldiers are equipped with a first-class crossbow, and this treatment is comparable to it.

You must know that in the entire Daliang, only the Xiao Cavalry Guard and the Bloody Army can give priority to the allocation of crossbows, after all, crossbows* The process of the bow is complex, the production is fine, it is really difficult to mass production, even if there are detailed drawings drawn by Gu Cang, but there is no large-scale mechanism that can be foundry, all parts have to be manually made and assembled by craftsmen, and in order to avoid the leakage of the production process, a factory is only allowed to produce one part, and finally all of them must be gathered in Liangzhou, and then the absolutely reliable people selected by the imperial court will be spliced according to the drawings, and finally finally, it will be protected by the post stations along the way and sent to Yanzhou.

Not only that, if the crossbow is accidentally damaged, it can only be reported to the imperial court immediately, handed it over, and sent to Liangzhou for maintenance, they themselves, whether it is a soldier who uses it every day, or a craftsman from where, they can't dismantle it, even if they are disassembled, they can't fight it, it can only be completely broken, these are all to ensure that this technology is not leaked.

-----------------------------------

With the blood army guarding here, it should have been able to ensure that Juyong Pass was unhindered, but today, Juyong Pass has ushered in its fateful catastrophe.

According to the agreement, the three parties of Wei, Jin and Shu are going to send troops together to attack the Liang country, and on this day, it is the arrow on the string, and it has to be sent, if anyone takes a step back with a weak heart, he will inevitably be destroyed in the future, either after being cleaned up two bold provocateurs, he is ready to unify the great Liang of the south, or after destroying the Liang country, the other two countries who hold a grudge.

Especially for someone like Chen Jing, who knows the general situation, he knows that this is a battle, and the first battle must be fought, and it must be fought well, otherwise once it is blocked, everything will be stopped, and there will be no possibility of turning around.

In order to be safe, he also chose to attack at night, and speaking of which, they were actually more relaxed than the Wei Guo next to them, because they had a great geographical advantage.

Yanran Lake, this is not only the natural danger of the Jin Kingdom that once blocked the water-ignorant Da Liang Iron from riding outside, but also a backhand that no one has ever guessed, or even if they guessed, they have never paid attention to it.

Because Juyong Guan is downstream, and Jin Guo is upstream!

In the middle of the night, a sudden rainstorm suddenly shrouded this side, and dark clouds rolled in, not only irrigating the fields that had dried up due to lack of water on the side of Juyongguan, but also falling on the dam upstream of Yanran Lake.

The dam is actually something that has been built a long time ago, and the specific history is many years ago, after all, Yanzhou was once the territory of the Jin Kingdom, but in recent years, Chen Jing secretly sent people to various places early, funded the diversion and traction, and dug it deep, and gathered countless huge water sources here.

He stood on a high place, looking at the huge lake under his feet, and all around, there were large and small, twisting and twisting, snake-like streams of water that continuously transported water, and then gathered here into a deep lake that could not be explored at all.

The place where Chen Jing was standing at the moment was on a cliff on a hill next to the dam, which was high enough to see far enough and safe enough.

The heavy rain overhead poured down, smashing on the person's body, and even felt the faint impact, and the attendant next to him was wearing a finely woven robe, but because he stood for too long, he didn't move, so in fact, he was already soaked inside.

The weather was cold, the rain was cold, and the wet clothes were close to his body, making him almost shiver with cold, but he just gritted his teeth and grabbed the hand of the umbrella, and for such a long time, he never let go at all.

Suddenly, Chen Jing stretched out his hand and removed the umbrella that had been loyally covering his head, and walked out, and the attendant behind him woke up in shock when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted, "Dazai!"

Chen Jing was wearing a black suit that was convenient for movement, wearing a black gauze hat, holding the sword at his waist, and the cloak behind his back hung to the ground.

"It doesn't matter. ”

The rain blew down the hair on his sideburns, and he tossed it aside, waved his hand lightly behind him, and took a few steps forward, and he was already on the edge of the cliff.

This position is too dangerous, and the attendants behind him don't even have the courage to keep up, not that he is afraid of death, but that he is afraid that after adding his own weight, he will directly collapse this place, then he will be to blame.

Chen Jing stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, but saw that on both sides of the dam, there were already people, this is the person who oversees the work.

Tonight, they will witness this great moment with themselves!

The dam is built on the mountain, and below is Yanran Lake, and the water that overflows all year round has accumulated into small waterfalls.

The rain became more and more urgent, and on the black curtain of the sky, the thunder was rolling, flickering and dimming, faintly, there seemed to be a huge shadow rolling in it, that kind of terrifying heavenly might, unknown creatures, even if mortals accidentally glanced at it, they would be frightened to the point of fright, and it would be difficult to stand.

--------------------------

"Click!"

Suddenly, a dazzling lightning bolt pierced the night sky, illuminating the land below in an instant.

In a clearing not far from the dam, a full 200,000 elite horsemen were ready to go, eager to try, and the first to lead the troops was Xue Bi, the Duke of Chuyang!

In fact, the old man didn't want to get involved in this war, since the coup d'état has been completed, Chen Jing, the child, he is also relieved, his daughter has come back, there is no need to marry far away, he could have stayed in the capital to retire and stay with his family, but this time it was already related to the national fortune of the Jin Kingdom, and as a last resort, he still chose to take the initiative to ask for help and personally put on his armor and go into battle.

Even this time, he may never come back, but he still made such a choice!

Because he is Xue Bi, he is the Duke of Chuyang, and he is from the Jin Kingdom!

If the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible!

If he doesn't stand up, who will stand up?

It has been more than 20 years since he led the troops to fight, but when he was neatly dressed, under the service of his subordinates, put on the unique ghost face armor of the Jin Kingdom, held the re-refined ghost head broadsword, rode on the horse, and straightened the red ghost face helmet on his head, an incomparable sense of familiarity and the blood of reunion after a long absence, surged into the old man's heart again.

Most of the people who go to the battlefield will never come down again for life, some of them can't get down for the body, and what they can't get down is the heart.

He turned the knife around, feeling the pleasure of receiving the weapon feedback to him, and he once again regained the prestige of the Duke of Chuyang of the Jin Kingdom.

When he was young, even if he was trapped in the enemy camp and faced an enemy several times his size, he had never been afraid, only two words could be described as happy, but he never thought that after the fiasco of the Jin Kingdom and the death of the old general, he Xue Bi would have the time to put on armor again in this life.

I just hope that I won't lose the face of the old general, and when the time comes, when I go underground, it's not good to explain to his old man.

He thought about it, and then looked up at the mountain peak on the other side, where Chen Jing was.

But because it was too dark and the rain was too strong, it was very difficult to obstruct the view, so I couldn't see clearly.

The position where their gang is now is an open space, and 200,000 elite horsemen have been waiting here for a whole hour, not to mention them, even the horses next to them are a little difficult.

Even if it is draped in full-body armor, there are gaps, after all, the joints must be able to rotate smoothly, otherwise how to kill the enemy smoothly.

But on weekdays, it's fine, but today, the rain dripped in along these cracks, and after soaking all the clothes, it stuck to the body like this, which was really unbearable.

The power of heaven and earth, the cold air penetrates the body, even if these people are extremely well trained on weekdays, they are all young men with strong blood, and after going back today, I am afraid that they will have a minor illness, not to mention the old man Chu Yanggong.

Just when Xue Bi was a little irritable, a blast that was far more explosive than the thunder in the sky suddenly sounded.

"Boom!"

------------------------------

Chen Jing on the cliff saw that the time had come, and immediately drew his sword out of the sheath, and the herald standing behind him saw this, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly waved the big flag in his hand downward.

The big red flag is clearly visible even at night, not to mention the fact that there are specially lit torches that can be waterproof and coated with pine oil.

Below, on both sides of the hillside, under the slope of the dam, some distance from the ground, there was a huge trebuchet, and at the moment when the flag order arrived, the person standing behind the trebuchet directly pulled out his knife, roared, and cut the rope that tied the mechanism!

"Boom!"

The sound of a spring opening suddenly came, the sound was as loud as another thunderbolt, and after losing its restraints, the lever that had been pulled up instantly ejected, and a boulder placed in the leather bag was projected out by the force generated by a mechanism.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two loud crashes rang out almost at the same time.

Two boulders smashed on the dam with a huge force, and the dam, which was completely made of earth and rock, suddenly shook violently.

The people who were still standing on both sides of the dam hurriedly stepped back and ran to safety.

Before the man guarding the trebuchet began to shake the lathe, put the stone, and began to throw it a second time, the dam that seemed to be solid suddenly broke a small hole, and a stream of water with the thickness of a person shooting out in an instant, hitting a small waterfall next to it, and instantly cut it off.

"Run!"

Seeing this, the faces of the people below changed greatly, and they suddenly couldn't even take care of the trebuchet, and hurriedly climbed towards the height.

The next moment, the damaged places began to become more and more numerous, and the cracks quickly spread from the place where the boulder hit, reaching the entire dam, and in just a few breaths, the whole dam could not bear the pressure, and exploded, and in the debris splash, a white torrent poured out from the mountain.

In that way, it was as if a hole had suddenly broken in the sky, and the heavenly river poured back, and the raging flood roared down like a giant dragon.

----------------------------------

In Juyong Pass, because the rain is too heavy tonight, there are not many places that are still bright at night.

Two soldiers were chatting with each other at the outpost.

Although the people on duty at night should have been standing at their posts, it is strictly forbidden to move or communicate, but one is too boring, anyway, there is nothing to do, the second is late at night, sleepiness comes up, if you don't find someone to talk to distract you, it is difficult to survive, and the third is that it rains so hard anyway, others can't hear or see, as long as no one reports, it's naturally fine.

The two of them laid down their weapons and sat down together in the lookout, trying to get as close to the middle as possible so that the rain that splashed in would fall on them.

One of them looked at the pouring rain outside, rubbed his hands, and sighed, while he couldn't help but complain: "Damn, where did it come from such a heavy rain." ”

No wonder he was so irritable, because when it comes to rainy days, especially such heavy rain, many things can indeed become inconvenient.

This body is wet and very uncomfortable, and the visibility is low, once there is an enemy situation, if it can't be detected early, and something happens in the end, they still have to be responsible.

What a chore!

"Hey, it's raining, it's raining, the water in the lake over there is almost dry, it's raining, hey, brother, let's go together, let's have a good time." ”

As he spoke, the other person took out a small bottle from his arms, uncorked it, and a pungent smell peculiar to spirits immediately floated out of the bottle.

However, for others it is a hard liquor to get into the throat, but for them who are shivering with cold cold on a rainy day, it is a good thing to warm up.

The man first raised his head and poured a big mouthful, then put down the bottle, his mouth was a mouthful, he held it for a while, and finally opened his mouth to spit out a foul smell of wine, and a flush slowly appeared on his face.

The man on the other side frowned, snatched the wine bottle, and was still scolding: "Don't drink so much, you kid doesn't count the amount of wine in your heart? ”

Although he said this, he himself was not ambiguous, his mouth opened, grabbed the bottle and poured it directly into it, but it was empty in a few clicks, and finally licked off a drop of wine that had not fallen for a long time at the mouth of the bottle, but he still did not give up, and poured it vigorously, patted the bottom of the bottle, and found that there was indeed no excess wine, so he reluctantly threw the bottle back.

"You're too ruthless, you drank more than half of a bottle of wine in one gulp, grandma's!"

He muttered, looked at his companion who was already a little drunk on the other side, frowned, and still didn't scold the other party loudly, let this kid sleep for a while, anyway, in half an hour, it should be time to hand over the shift.

Just as he got up and was about to return to his post, suddenly a tsunami sound broke through the cover of the rumbling thunder overhead and reached his ears.

At first, he didn't react, he glanced at the sky, and was still scolding.

"Damn, why is this thunder so loud tonight, it scares Lao Tzu. ”

But then, he panicked, and a trace of alcohol on his face quickly dissipated, because he felt that the whole lookout was shaking, he wasn't sure if he had drunk too much, but the subconscious panic made him not even care about holding his weapon, so he ran to the side in a panic, lying on the railing of the lookout and looking into the distance.

In the dark night, I saw a white torrent surging from the north, and all the objects that stopped it along the way could not stop it in the slightest, and it carried all the stones and trees it encountered along the way, and crashed towards this side with a thunderous momentum.

"This, this, what the is this!"

He watched it, and after a breath, he suddenly woke up, and quickly turned around and rang the alarm bell.

"Clank!"

"Clank!"

"Clank!"

The voice sounded, but in the face of the momentum of the flood as huge as a dragon walking down the river and cholera in the world, he was still too naïve, and he was not even sure whether the rear had received his own summons.

Just as he was thinking, the next moment, the flood had already come into contact with the first level of Juyong Pass.

It didn't take much effort, because in fact, the flood was not the main force of the siege, and the gravel that followed it was the real weapon to break the city.

The flood came and crashed against the thick walls, and the walls shook for a while, and the huge waves that stirred up smashed directly over the walls.

The first gate did not last long, and was soon declared broken, and before the poor soldiers climbed down the lookout, the entire lookout and several buildings next to it were directly washed away by the mighty flood.

The building was shattered, the broken bricks and tiles were mixed together, and they continued to roll forward, and the people fell into the water, and with the ups and downs of the water, it was difficult to support the single tree, and after a few strokes, it disappeared, and was swept under the water, never to float again.

The first layer of defense of Juyong Pass, known as the first Xiongguan in Yanzhou, was broken, and thousands of soldiers who were still asleep were buried in the water, and only a very small number of lucky people were lucky enough to catch something that could be clinged to, and they grabbed it hard, and swam towards the back with the flood.

There are also some who woke up early, racing against the flood, and hurriedly climbed to the high place of the second layer of defense, hoping to avoid this terrible flood that I don't know if it was ** or a natural disaster.

What's even more frightening is that this is not the end.

Just behind the flood, followed by 200,000 cavalrymen of the Jin Kingdom, who had been waiting for a long time, had already given the order to charge!

Surface codewords are still too slow, and I bought a new display and host, which directly goes up a notch in efficiency
