Chapter 7: The Cold Mountain Incident

When I was planning the situation carefully, I got the news that something had happened in Hanshan Pass; Since getting rid of Chen Shuxi, Guo Gang also launched a purge war against his other brother - Yue Dongyang, at first Yue Dongyang was afraid that I was too close to Hanshan Pass and endured it, until the imperial court sent a large army to besiege my Feng'an City, I should deal with the imperial court when I was really unable to return to help, Yue Dongyang colluded with the imperial army of the Xishan camp in Weiyang, and broke the Hanshan Pass, plus the clans of Hanshan County had resistance to Guo Gang's generation, and turned against Yue Dongyang in the chaos, which made Guo Gang's people suffer from the enemy, Guo Gang led people to fight desperately out of Hanshan Pass, Escape from the cold mountain and Huangliang junction town south shop, fortunately the south of the town has our garrison of nearly 10,000 people, the guard is Li Siyuan, Li Siyuan repelled the pursuit of the imperial court and Yue Dongyang, on the seriously injured Guo Gang and Guo Ziyang and his party, with the exit of the crisis, Guo Gang was arranged to Huai'an City to recuperate, when I rushed back to Huai'an City, Guo Gang was almost dead.

I decided to give the command of my 50,000 elite soldiers to Guo Gang, and the position of commander was just that, after all, it was a virtual one, but the military power was also handed over, which surprised Guo Gang's generation, and Guo Gang had mixed feelings, he may never have trusted this righteous son, and even considered harming me. But I sincerely told Guo Gang that without him, I would not be where I am today, and I can't forget his kindness.

Since he lost the Hanshan Pass Guo Gang has a heart disease, and he was seriously injured, he didn't survive a month and died, this is not a bad thing for me, this command is back in my hands, before dying, Guo Gang still talked to me heart-to-heart, I also promised Guo Ziyang a future, when he closed his eyes, I was still a little sad, and in this era when I didn't even know what my surname was, this person gave me a surname, without his tempering, there would be no me Guo Chusan today, There is still a little kindness in it, since the defeat of the Hanshan Pass Guo Ziyang has completely lost his previous arrogance, I held a grand funeral for Guo Gang, and the puppet master of the rebel army also posthumously gave Guo Gang the title of General Zhongyi, I reorganized the army, and the spearhead will be pointed at Yue Dongyang of Hanshan County.

Hanshan County is now completely surrendered to the imperial court, and the imperial court has sent heavy troops to garrison Hanshan Pass, as long as the Hanshan Pass is broken, Hanshan City is captured, and Hanshan County is recovered, it can be regarded as my dedication to Guo Gangren and repaying his kindness. This is my first frontal siege campaign, I led Deng Pinghe, Pan Wenyuan led a team of more than 10,000 people to camp outside Hanshan Pass, Li Siyuan continued to station more than 10,000 people in the main passes of Zhennanpu, Dongli, Hedao, Qikou, etc., in order to prevent Song Xiangtong from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, but also convenient to deal with me, and another point is to prevent Yue Dongyang from taking advantage of the Qiangyang tribe to sneak attack my Huangliang station, Zhang Yuliang, Zhang Jiahe led 20,000 people to guard Feng'an City, Wang Qizhong led more than 10,000 people to camp on the bank of the Wei River, staring at the march of the Xishan camp in Weiyang, If the Xishan battalion is dispatched, Wang Qizhong will fight a blocking battle along the river to delay me for capturing Hanshan Pass.

The overall arrangement is proper, and the war is about to break out, which Yue Dongyang did not expect, he thinks that Guo Gang makes things difficult for me everywhere, and even wants to harm me, I may be benevolent and righteous on the surface, and I will not do it with him so soon, in fact, I also thought so at first, Zhang Yuliang's words reminded me, "How can others be allowed to sleep on the side of the collapse", let me take advantage of the fact that the imperial army has not yet stabilized the foundation in the cold mountain and wait for the opportunity to attack, and take them by surprise, one is to regain the lost territory, and the other is to repay the kindness of benevolence and righteousness, so that the soldiers can see my benevolence and determination.

On the gate of Hanshan Pass, a general whipped the trembling soldier with a leather whip, and scolded while whipping him: "What the hell are you afraid of? Isn't it just a rabble? You are the Tiger Master of the Great Calendar, and since you put on this armor, you only have two things to do, one is to kill and the other is to be killed! As soldiers, the best ending for us is to be shrouded in horse leather and die on the battlefield! Now that there's such a great opportunity, you're fucking afraid! Is it lying on the belly of the too much? Lost all your eggs? There is no gentleman's spirit at all! ”

The beaten soldiers endured the pain, but did not dare to speak, but stared at our army as they approached. We are mighty, just when my army of more than 10,000 people is still a thousand steps away from the city of Hanshan Pass, whether it is Yue Dongyang's troops or the army of the imperial court, they heard the earth-shattering sound of more than 10,000 people stepping on the ground, and the morale of the originally not very high suddenly dropped a little.

"Veteran, are we really going to die?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old imperial soldier secretly tugged at the corner of the old soldier's clothes squatting next to him, looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him before he asked in a low voice.

The veteran looked at him, reached out and stroked the back of his head, smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, we're going to die." More than 10,000 soldiers are coming to the city, with our 5,000 people and Yue Dongyang's broken city wall that has not yet been built, where can we resist it? And they are also the devilish Deng Pinghe and Pan Wenyuan as the vanguard, these two people have the courage of ten thousand people, only the two of them can kill thousands of people, not to mention that there are more than 10,000 wolf-like tigers behind him, alas! ”

"I don't want to die, veteran!" The young soldier's tears of fear were about to fall, and he leaned towards the veteran in a trembling manner.

The veteran grabbed him on the shoulder and patted him lightly and said, "Don't be afraid, child, there's nothing to be afraid of dying, but it just hurts, and it will pass soon." ”

Deng Pinghe took the lead in leading the 3,000-man army to the foot of the Hanshan Pass, and stopped a hundred steps away from the city. When the garrison at the head of the city saw that the army had stopped a hundred paces away, he immediately shouted for joy and shouted to one of the officers: "Quick, give the order, shoot them with a crossbow!" ”

"General, we don't have crossbows, only ordinary bows and crossbows, I'm afraid the range is insufficient!" The officer who had received the order looked at the large army outside the city and reminded him.

"How can my calendar's crossbow arrows be short of range?" After hearing the officer's words, the commander was furious, and suddenly drew his sword from his waist and threw it at the officer's neck, and roared angrily: "You dare to disobey my orders? ”

Seeing that the guard was angry, the officer did not dare to persuade again, so he hurriedly turned around and ran.

After a while, the battlements of Hanshan Pass were full of bows and crossbows, and the officer stood on the city wall, looked at the army outside the city, sighed, and shouted: "Fire!" ”

"Whoosh, whoosh", with the officer's order, a crossbow arrow flew over with the overwhelming sound of the wind.

Deng Pinghe looked up at the crossbow arrows that were almost blocking the sun, and shouted to the army behind him: "The thief has shot a crossbow, everyone be careful!" Take the money and be thick."

Several crossbow arrows were fired into Deng Pinghe's camp, and two soldiers were shot by the crossbow arrows before they could dodge, but the crossbow arrows did not penetrate the armor of the soldiers, but bounced on the ground. More bolts landed three or four paces in front of the rebels.
