Mountains in the clouds.

In the gray sky, in the ancient road, there is a pass guarded by more than 200 soldiers, don't look at this pass in the Yunzhong Mountain Range on the ancient road, the geographical location is important, but perennial, generally in the pass of the people are only about 100 people, its role is to guard the traders, and to prevent a small number of Xiongnu from plundering south.

If it encounters a large-scale Xiongnu going south, this pass will not be able to resist, and the roads in the Yunzhong Mountains are complicated, so neither the original Zhao State nor the current Qin State have sent too many soldiers to this pass to guard.

"Huh? The sound of horses' hooves? ”

On the city road at the pass, a dozen or so soldiers standing guard with Changge suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves roaring in their ears, and then looked around.

When the movement became louder and louder, and the sound became closer and closer, one by one the soldiers immediately thought of something, and their faces became pale.

"It's the Huns! The Huns are coming! ”

"Quick! Go and report it, the Huns are coming! ”

As the soldiers spoke, the panicked instinct took two steps back, glanced at each other, and then looked vigilantly at the ancient road leading to the north in front of them.

A moment later.

As more and more soldiers heard the movement, one after another came to the pass, and in less than a while, the city road was full of soldiers, and at a glance, the dense soldiers were holding long ges and arrows, aiming at the distance.

A general of the Qin army, dressed in Qin armor and with a long beard in his mouth, held the hilt of his sword at his waist with one hand while looking at the canyon where the roar of horses' hooves came from ahead.

The sound in his ears is getting closer and closer, and the roaring sound of horses' hooves is getting louder and louder, this general can't hear it, the number of Huns who went south to plunder this time is definitely quite a lot, but now, the general thought of the secret letter, and did not rush to order a retreat.

Glancing sideways at the black flag of Qin characters planted on the city road next to him, the general looked at the Hun army and waited patiently.

More than ten years later.

When there was an overwhelming flow of Huns in the canyon in the distance, the general breathed a deep sigh of relief, and he didn't know if he was nervous or what.

Not only this general of the Qin army, but also all the other soldiers in the city at this moment, without exception, saw the Hun army surging like a black torrent in the distance, their faces changed greatly, they became extremely pale, and the whole person trembled.

Too much! The number of the Xiongnu army spread throughout the ancient road, and then there was a steady stream of appearances, all the soldiers holding Changge knew that if they defended it, it was estimated that in less than half an hour, all of them would be killed by the Huns.

But retreat, they did not dare even more.

Without an order, they will be sinners even if they live, not only will they be wanted and unable to enter other places, even the Qin State will not be able to get out, and their families who are far away from their hometown will also be constrained.

Therefore, although all the soldiers were afraid, and even the hands holding Changge were trembling and pale, no one dared to turn around and run away.

"Withdraw!"

Looking at the Hun army that was getting closer and closer, just as everyone was ready to die here, a retreating voice suddenly remembered.

For a while, none of the Qin soldiers reacted, and everyone looked at the sound with a puzzled expression, and then saw that the person who spoke, the person who ordered the retreat, was their new general here, named Guo Yi.

Remove?

Why did the generals say they were retreating? If they retreat without an order, they will all become guilty sinners.

"Withdraw to Woyang!"

Guo Yi, the general of the Qin army, once again ordered a retreat under the gaze of everyone.

After speaking, Guo Yi took the lead in walking backwards, came to the wall at the back, picked up the torch that had just been inserted on it, and glanced at a famous soldier below who was carrying hay and wooden sticks piled up behind the gate.

This scene was reflected in the eyes of all the soldiers, and the soldiers knew that guarding against the Xiongnu army was different from guarding against the armies of the Central Plains, for them, the biggest threat to them from the Huns was not the number of people, 10,000 or 20,000 Huns, for them, there was little difference from 5,000 people, and they couldn't hold it anyway.

But as long as the Huns' war horses were delayed, it would not be so easy for the Huns to catch up with them.

Now.

General Guo obviously intended to set fire to the horses of the Xiongnu army.

"Withdraw!!"

"Let's go!!"

Seeing the general's actions, all the Qin soldiers on the city road glanced at each other, hurriedly stood up, turned around and walked towards the pass.

Guo Yi watched the soldiers leave and retracted his gaze, but the strange thing was that Guo Yi did not throw the torches under the city road, but waited for the soldiers to leave, and threw them in the aisle on the side.

This kind of action made the two Qin soldiers beside Guo Yi look puzzled, and they didn't understand why Guo Yi didn't drop it to light the fire, but threw it aside, you must know that if there was no fire to block the gate, the three hundred soldiers who left would not be able to run far and would be caught up by the Huns.

Besides, the sky was overcast, but it didn't rain.

"Guo Bu more! The"

After the two Qin soldiers looked at each other with doubts, one of them spoke, but before the words were finished, suddenly, Guo Yi pulled out his sword, and in the frightened eyes of these two people, he directly held the sword and slashed, and on the face of the soldier who had not finished speaking a few breaths ago, a hideous wound kept gushing blood, looking at Guo Yi with incredulity, and he still looked at him puzzled at the last moment of his life, not understanding why he wanted to kill himself.

Blood splattered on the city roads, and the corpses of the soldiers fell like this beside the unextinguished torches.

Another soldier reacted, and just when he wanted to draw his sword, Guo Yi had already stepped forward, grabbed his clothes with one hand, and stabbed his abdomen with a sword in the other.

"Guo no, no, no, no."

The soldier grabbed Guo Yi's hand, his face was full of fear, and he spoke tremblingly, but the strength in his hand gradually decreased.

When Guo Yi drew his sword and came out, the Qin army soldier was already trembling and speechless, and after kneeling, he slowly fell to the ground.

Guo Yi took the bloody sword, turned to look at the ancient road in the direction of Woyang, and looked at the Qin soldiers who had originally escaped from the pass, looking at everything that happened here.

"Oh oh oh oh~!!"

"Oh oh~!"

With the thunderous sound of the iron cavalry came to the pass, it came into the ears that was the countless shouts of the Huns, and each shout revealed the excitement in the hearts of the Huns.

Guo Yi heard these shouts, he was not afraid, but also showed a happy look, looking at those Qin soldiers who fled with fear on their faces after reacting, Guo Yi chuckled, knowing that those Qin soldiers could not escape, so he turned around and looked at the outer wall of the city road, one by one the iron hooks tied with thick ropes were thrown into the city road from the outside, and then the ropes were slowly withdrawn, and the iron hooks were hooked on the wall when they were about to fall.

I watched the Huns climb up from the outside of the city wall one after another, one after another.

Guo Yi was a little nervous, but when he saw that those Huns really didn't hurt him, he was immediately relieved.

In less than a while, more and more Huns passed the pass, and then came to the gate of the pass, one by one the Huns took off the wood that was originally going to be burned, and vigorously supported the wooden bolt of the gate.

The wooden bolt fell to the ground and made a huge movement, and then the gate of the pass slowly opened, and the leader of the Huns, Mandanyu, and the leaders of the tribes appeared in front of them.

Under the leadership of Touman Danyu, the Xiongnu army continued to pour into the pass.

Inside the pass.

The two Huns led Guo Yi to the Hun army, and surrounded by the dense Huns, they saw Touman Shan Yu.

The first time I saw the famous Tou Man Shan Yu of the Northern Huns, Guo Yi was also very nervous, Tou Man Shan Yu, who was in his thirties, is now in the prime of life, very burly, especially Guo Yi has heard some of Tou Man Shan Yu's deeds.

"Guo Yi, meet Shan Yu!"

Guo Yi saluted to his head, put his hand on his chest, and slowly lowered his head.

Here Guo Yi played a careful trick, and used the etiquette of the northern Xiongnu when saluting, which represents respect and submission.

However, what Guo Yi didn't know was that his actions fell into Tou Mandan's eyes, only thick ridicule and disdain.

Perhaps it is most appropriate to describe it in one sentence, that is, in the north, not everyone is qualified to surrender to him Toumandanyu, and people like Guo Yi are even more despised by Toumandanyu from the bottom of his heart.

But at this time, Tou Man Shan Yu also knew that he still needed Guo Zong.

"Is there any news from the side rider?"

Tou Manshan Yu rode a horse, looked at Guo Yi and asked.

It turned out that in addition to the news sent by the tribes in Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng, in order to prevent accidents, Tou Manshan Yu and Guo Zong had other preparations, and Guo Yi's news here was another guarantee for them.

Guo Yi's source is Yanmen Shanwucheng, whether it is the deployment of the Qin State or the changes of the Qin State, you can get the news.

"Shan Yu is relieved to go south! Where is Shanwu City, the city commander Peng Yi has already sent news that Qin General Bai Yan has led the border cavalry south, and from where the Yanmen County Guard and the Imperial Supervisor Shi learned that Qin General Bai Yan guessed from the beginning that he would attack Yi Shui! There is nothing to worry about when placing an order now. ”

Guo Yi heard Touman Shan Yu's inquiry and explained. This news was sent by Peng Yi, and there will be absolutely no fake.

"Bai Yan! Has he really returned to Yanmen? ”

Tou Manshan Yu heard Guo Yi's words, his pupils shrank, and his eyes looked in the direction of Yanmen.

Not only Tou Man Dan Yu, but even the Xiongnu leaders beside Tou Man Dan Yu, as well as other Xiongnu men in their prime, were a little flustered and nervous when they heard Bai Yan's name.

At the beginning, in Shangjun Gaonu, the person named Bai Yan made too deep and deep impressions on them.

"Yes!"

Guo Yi looked at Touman Shan Yu and replied softly, originally Guo Yi wanted to say more in detail, but looking at the Huns in front of him, even the leaders of those Hun tribes, as well as Touman Shan Yu, their faces changed after hearing Bai Yan's name.

Guo Yi was afraid that Touman, Shan Yu and these tribal leaders would return, and would not help them deal with the Qin State, so Guo Yi did not say much about Bai Yan.

However, unlike Fang Cai, if Guo Yi had a deep fear of Tou Manshan Yu at the beginning, then after mentioning Bai Yan's name, looking at the reactions of these Huns, Guo Yi became a little disappointed.

But think about it.

Although the number of these Xiongnu was comparable to that of a large army, and their horsemanship and physique were not weaker than any army in the Central Plains, in the final analysis, compared to the armies of the Central Plains vassal states, these Xiongnu were just nomadic hunters.

Usually the vast majority of them are herdsmen, and when they go south to plunder, they will gather where the tribal leaders are, strictly speaking, it is not appropriate for the Xiongnu army to be called a large army, it should be said that tens of thousands of Huns have gathered.

"Tou Man Shan Yu rest assured, now that Bai's iron cavalry has been transferred to Yishui, Shan Yu only needs to follow the plan, go south to Yanmen, and take down the city where the side rider family lives, even if Bai Yan is dead to defend the good city, there are those side riders in Shan Yu's hands, plus Guo Shi's secret previous deployment, and the order to persuade the side to ride, Shan Yu broke the good and no city, except for Bai Yan, it is not difficult!"

Guo Yi said to Tou Manshan Yu, and once again said his previous plan, hoping that Tou Manshan Yu could settle down.

Under the pass.

Tou Manshan heard Guo Yi's words and glanced at Guo Yi lightly.

"I hope you Guo can really do this!"

After saying that, Tou Man waved the horse's rope, kicked the horse's belly lightly with his heel, and rode away.

After learning that Qin would Bai Yan in Yanmen, Tou Manshan had always had a haze in his heart, thinking back to what Bai Yan had done at the beginning, even the fierce Tou Man Shan Yu couldn't help but tremble.

Burn one alive!

Whether it was the Huns, or the Yueshi and Donghu, they had never seen such crazy people, at the cost of burning a city, just to burn them to death these tribal men who went south.

In Tou Man's eyes, the ridiculous Central Plains people all said that he was vicious and killed people at every turn, but compared to Bai Yan, a Qin man who looked harmless, he burned a city at every turn, that was vicious.

It's hard to experience the feeling of not having experienced it.

Recalling that before the winter last year, he was threatened by Bai Yan, at that time, he would never have imagined that Li Mu's side rider would really be subdued by Bai Yan, the general of Qin, and serve Bai Yan.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan!

Tou Manshan appeared these two words in his heart, and his eyes showed a killing intent.

This time there was a chance, and he definitely couldn't leave this person alive.

Twenty miles away from the Yunshan Pass.

Behind the high mountain, Bai Yan stood in the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade, holding a straight tree trunk in one hand and sharpening a sword in the other.

Naturally, he was also doing it with Bai Yan on the side.

In the past two days, Bai Yan led more than 3,000 horsemen, and he had been waiting for a long time, and in the two days, in addition to preparing enough firewood, he had cut out enough javelins.

The javelin was not very long, about the same length as a person, and throwing it down from the valley did not necessarily penetrate the Huns.

However, for Bai Yan, the role of these javelins was not to kill the Huns, but to restrain the Xiongnu's horses.

A javelin is a huge threat to the horses whenever it is tilted a little, not to mention that Bai Yan asked the soldiers to tie up all these javelins in bundles and make them into a very strong huge wooden bundle.

Rolling down the valley is an obstacle blocking the road if it doesn't fall apart, and if it falls apart, it's better, and if the Huns want to deal with it, it will take a lot of work.

"General, it seems that the Huns are coming!"

After Bai Yan threw the javelin aside, he heard a soldier in a hurry coming.

Hearing this, Bai Yan's face immediately became serious, he inserted the sword in his hand into the scabbard, got up and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Seeing this, he hurriedly followed behind.

Less than a moment.

Bai Yan quietly came to the back of a boulder, and looked at the huge movement under the rolling mountains in the north from a distance.

"Pass my order and let the soldiers get ready to do it!"

Bai Yan glanced at the dim sky, full of joy, fortunately, before the rain, the Huns had arrived, otherwise it would be useless to deal with the Hun War Horse's biggest weapon fire attack on a rainy day.

In Bai Yan's eyes, this time the battle would have suffered a loss with less fighting, and the armor and war horses on the side were all in Pingcheng and Yanmen Mountain, the original melee advantage was undoubtedly gone, so if there was no fire attack, even if it could win, it was estimated that it would be a miserable victory.

Although he, Bai Yan, is famous for fighting to the death, but if he is not forced to do so, Bai Yan is actually the person who is most reluctant to order close combat.

Because Bai Yan, who has fought to the death, knows that once he fights in close quarters, the battlefield is like a meat grinder for soldiers and even generals, and no one dares to say that he can be safe and sound.

"No!"

The side cavalry soldier beside Bai Yan gave up his hand and turned to leave.

Bai Yan watched the cavalry retreat, then turned his head and looked at the mountain road.

A moment later, as the thunderous sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, the Xiongnu army appeared in the ancient road in the distance and entered Bai Yan's gaze.

At this time, behind the top of the mountain, hundreds of soldiers pushed and pulled together, more than ten bundles of miscellaneous trees taller than people, began to roll towards the top of the mountain, and some side riders even came to the boulder that had been prepared for a long time, holding a huge wooden stick, ready to pry away the capstone under the boulder.

All the linemen were waiting.

At this moment, listening to the roar in their ears, all the border riders couldn't help but get nervous in their hearts, and many of them swallowed their saliva, breathing very quickly.

It is not that the border cavalry soldiers are afraid of the Huns and are afraid of fighting with the Huns, but they clearly remember that the general said it

Kill a Hun and you'll get a set of clothes!
