Volume 2 Stormy Eighteen Prefectures Chapter 234 Nanguan
The mountain wind blew on the black armor of the soldiers, making the sound of hunting and rubbing, and the Fengzi banner in the air buzzed.
The mountain road was rugged, Zhu Youjun led the army for three days and three nights, through the river valley to the end of the trip, Dian Prefecture Nanguan.
The climate on the border is harsh, the air is hot, the mountain wind is raging, the air is black and oppressive at every turn, don't think this is a good thing, these are swarms of mosquitoes, now in October, the weather is getting colder, mosquitoes can be a little less, if it is July or August, there is no way to go out.
For the people of the Central Plains, autumn is the harvest season, and for the nomadic people of Nandi, autumn and winter are their most difficult seasons, and in order to survive, they will set their sights on the Dafeng in the north.
When the Nannan Pass was not established, every autumn and winter was the most difficult time for the people of southern Yunnan, and the Nandi cavalry came to plunder when the harvest was harvested, and the grain, poultry, including women, could not escape the doom.
With the establishment of the Nanguan Pass and the presence of garrisons, the situation was alleviated.
However, what really made Nandi dare not go north was the Southern Yunnan War decades ago, Gongsun Changfeng personally led the army out of Nanguan, and Nandi was forced to sue for peace.
For the three major tribes of Nanyue, Nandi, and Nanrong, Gongsun Changfeng is a hurdle that they will never be able to cross.
But with the news of Guan Zhongxian's death, Nandi's thief heart rose again, and he wanted to take advantage of Dafeng's internal and external troubles to make some oil and water, but Gongsun Changfeng couldn't give them this opportunity at all, when Zhu Youjun came to Nanguan with 1,500 black-armored soldiers, he was warmly welcomed by the local garrison, the garrison of Nanguan was only 500 people, and it was okay for Nandi to patrol and deter for a while on weekdays, but if Nandi really made up his mind to go north, they were not enough to stuff people's teeth.
After entering the customs, Gongsun Changfeng arranged for his soldiers to take over the border defense, and at the same time sent scouts to the border to keep an eye on the Nandi army.
Standing on the battlements and looking south, the dense forest is as far as the eye can see.
"General Zhu, Nanguan is the gateway to Dian Prefecture, once it is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable." The general of the Nannan Pass frowned and said.
Zhu Youjun's face was full of unhappiness, and he looked back at this incompetent person who relied on bribery to become the general guarding the pass, and said disdainfully, "The important general of Nanguan naturally knows, General Zhang, what do you want to say?" ”
General Zhang smiled embarrassedly, looked at the black-armored soldier next to him, took a deep breath and said, "Everyone knows that General Gongsun has 100,000 white feather troops under his command, which is one of the most elite armies in Dafeng. Of course I didn't mean to look down on you, just ......"
"General Zhang......"
Zhu Youjun interrupted General Zhang's words strongly, and said with an unhappy face, "General Zhang, General Gongsun is not only under the command of the White Feather Army, the same people, you can pull out more than a thousand people from the White Feather Army casually, I guarantee that my people are no worse than the White Feather Army."
Besides, compared with the Nandi tribe and the Nanyue tribe, which is more important, don't you know which is more important? As for Luonan Pass, you can rest assured, with us, the pass cannot be broken. ”
After being scolded by Zhu Youjun, General Zhang obviously restrained a lot, and nodded awkwardly and replied, Zhu Youjun really couldn't believe how such an incompetent person could have guarded Nanguan for 20 years, if it weren't for Nandi's consideration of the power of the White Feather Army, I am afraid that he would have set foot in Yunnan Prefecture a long time ago.
Zhu Youjun turned around and left, General Zhang looked at Zhu Youjun's back, his eyes were full of resentment, but he had no choice, who let the family be Gongsun Changfeng's subordinates, and now he has to rely on others to guard the pass, when Nandi comes, he doesn't want to be the first to rush out.
……
A few days later, at dusk, Zhu Youjun, who was carefully studying the terrain of Nanguan on the sand table, suddenly heard a rapid horn sound outside.
This was a warning sound of an enemy attacking, and a moment later, a scout wearing light armor came to report, "General Qiyu, the Nandi army is pressing, about 5,000 people, and you can reach Nanguan in one hour at the earliest." ”
Zhu Youjun got up instantly, shrugged his two broad thick eyebrows, looked at the outside of the pass with blazing eyes, and said, "Command the army, prepare for battle." ”
"Yes."
The scouts outside the door stepped back.
Zhu Youjun looked at General Zhang, who was swallowing saliva with his head bowed next to him, his eyes were like sharp swords, and he was approaching the other party, "General Zhang, it's time to leave." ”
General Zhang's tiger body was shocked, and he nodded in a wooden voice, his face full of resistance.
Coming to the wall outside the gate, Zhu Youjun looked ahead, and there seemed to be a flame rising in his eyes.
The horses' hooves were bursting, the woods outside the pass were dusty, and even the arrogant shouts and howls of the Nandi soldiers could be faintly heard, Zhu Youjun subconsciously shook the spear in his hand, raised his head and shouted, "Beat the drums, prepare for war." ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of the drum was like a burst of thunder, rising from the ground, and the powerful drum sound was like a heart booster, which made Zhu Youjun's whole person can't help but boil with enthusiasm, and the soldiers on the city wall are even more so, staring indignantly at the Nandi cavalry who are about to arrive outside the pass in front of them.
For the Nandi army, as they got closer and closer to Nan Pass, the drums of Nan Pass became clearer and clearer, and the middle-aged man led by him was wearing a tiger skin, holding a big knife, his face was full of stubble, and his long hair was tied behind him at will, staring at Zhu Youjun who was holding a spear on the city wall, and his eyes showed a cruel and disdainful light.
Before and after the arrival of Nandi's army at the pass, they did not attack blindly, but stopped outside the pass, and let out a low roar, as if to compete with the drums on the city wall.
However, just when Nandi's army had not yet arrived at Nan Pass, Zhu Youjun ordered two teams of 500 people to quietly set off from the back door and go around the mountains on both sides of the pass.
The scouts came to report that there were as many as 5,000 Nandi troops who came to attack, and now the total number of defenders in Nanguan is only more than 2,000 people.
In the face of an enemy twice as large as himself, although Zhu Youjun was sure to hold the Nanguan Pass, if he resisted head-on, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
So as early as when he arrived at Lunan Pass, he thought of how to deal with an enemy who doubled, tripled, or even quadruple his own five hundred, and exchanged the smallest casualties as much as possible for the maximum combat results.
The sunset reflects the sun, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the iron frame of the soldiers, which looks particularly solemn.
Zhu Youjun raised his hand suddenly, the drum beat stopped abruptly, Zhu Youjun took a step forward and shouted at the Nandi soldiers under the city, "Bold barbarian, dare to offend my great Fengtianwei, I will pay attention to etiquette and light sword soldiers, as long as you retreat as soon as possible, this general can not investigate your rudeness today." ”
The leader of the general Nandi smiled coldly, the children who grew up in the mountains and forests, they have never seen any strong winds and waves, and they dare to grab food, how can they be afraid of the hairy child in front of him who looks only in his twenties.
"Today, when I arrived here, I didn't plan to go back empty-handed, so I opened the door to let the grandfathers in, maybe the grandfather was happy to leave you a whole corpse, if you wait for my army to break through the pass and enter the city, you will be allowed to die and have no place to be buried."
General Nandi took a machete and pointed at Zhu Youjun and said.
Zhu Youjun snorted coldly, "Don't be ashamed, let them know how powerful my Heavenly Soldiers are today." ”
After that, the drums beat again, and the crossbowmen on the city wall bent their bows and arrows, pointing directly at the Nandi army below.
General Nandi shouted in a deep voice, "Siege." ”
"Kill!"
The war was about to break out, and the roar continued for a while, and Zhu Youjun no longer shouted politely, "Release the arrow!" ”
Thousands of arrows on the city wall were fired, and the howling outside the gate continued, as the arrows poured down, the Nandi soldiers also fell in pieces, and the smell of blood came to his face, Zhu Youjun subconsciously covered his nose, and General Zhang next to him had already been lying on the head of the city and vomiting pale, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk.
Zhu Youjun turned to look at General Zhang, waved his hand helplessly, and asked the soldiers next to him to help General Zhang down, while he himself held a spear in his hand, carefully staring at the Nandi army that was gradually pressing in front of him.
Although the bow and crossbow can effectively slow down the advance of Nandi's army, after all, there are 5,000 troops below, and their hundreds of crossbowmen can't stop Nandi's army at all.
A moment later, the army rushed to the city wall, and the Nandi soldiers, who had climbed the mountain cliffs since childhood, skillfully threw the hook claws that had been prepared, threw them on the head of the city and began to climb the city wall.
Zhu Youjun shouted, "Soldiers, meet the enemy and kill ......"
The drums sounded, the crossbowmen withdrew, and when the Nandi army rushed up to the city, they were greeted by sharp spears and broadswords.
"Poof."
Zhu Youjun walked to the battlements, and directly shot in the chest of the Nandi soldiers who had just climbed to the city wall, his wrist flipped, the golden light flashed on the spear, and the blood of the Nandi soldiers soared, and he fell directly from the city wall, and by the way, he also fell down with a few Nandi soldiers, even if he was not killed by Zhu Youjun, he had to fall to death.
Nandi's general was overjoyed to see that his men had touched the city wall, and thought that this Dafeng army was nothing more than that, and he didn't know how his fathers had been beaten by the Feng army for ten years and did not dare to go north.
Seeing that Nandi's army almost rushed to the city gate, Zhu Youjun shouted, "Beat the drums and charge." ”
"Bang, bang, bang......" The drum beat was excited, and with the sound of the drum, General Nandi was surprised to find that the surrounding mountains and forests suddenly rose with smoke and dust, and it seemed to have bursts of shouts and roars.
"Kill ......" When the cavalry on both sides of the valley rushed out, General Nandi knew that he had been fooled, and the banner of the word "Feng" fluttered in the wind, and the black-armored soldiers all turned into killing gods, rushed into Nandi's army, rushed to kill everywhere, and suffered countless casualties under the spear.
At this time, General Nandi was directly stupid by the cavalry on both sides, and immediately shouted to retreat, but at this time, there were still some Nandi soldiers hanging on the city wall, and they would definitely not be able to retreat in such a hurry, and Zhu Youjun looked at Nandi's army in a hurry, and shouted directly, "Open the city gate, go out of the city and destroy the enemy......
The city gate was opened, the soldiers poured out, and the next battlefield was a one-sided unilateral slaughter, until nightfall, Zhu Youjun returned to the city with the army, this battle, Zhu Youjun won a complete victory.
