Chapter 224: Take Hangu Pass

The strength of the new army is obvious to all, and they can crush anyone they can crush in minutes.

This is not the main thing, after spending a few days with the new army, as far as they know, this group of new troops turned out to be a group of soldiers who followed Mr. Su from the northern battlefield alive.

As Mr. Su's personal guard, he returned to Mr. Su's hometown, and after training and training, he had the strength of these people today.

They can become veterans, who have never been on the battlefield, who have not had blood on their hands, and even those who have experienced vicious battles and crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood.

But compared with this group of so-called new troops, good guys, where are these people called, tactical means, and mutual cooperation is very subtle and perfect.

Moreover, the tactics of the drill were something they had never seen before, and they were very novel.

As a veteran oilman, he has no hope of being promoted and making a fortune, and with their stinky temper, they don't know how many bosses they have offended, and it would be good to survive.

The only thing that can impress them is to improve their own strength, and only in this way can they have a greater chance of surviving on the battlefield again and again.

After all, no one can guarantee that they will be lucky to survive on the battlefield every time.

Joining the new army and having a team can not only improve the survival rate on the battlefield, but also make these veterans very coveted.

Each of them was equipped with a short knife on his lower leg, a long knife at his waist, and a small crossbow behind his back, and in their eyes, the quality of these three weapons was absolutely excellent.

He was not wearing heavy armor, but rattan armor, which had high defense and was very light, which did not affect the speed of the march in the slightest.

Moreover, these new armies are all in groups of three or three, cooperating with each other, and the average dozen or so people cannot enter.

If necessary, the groups can cooperate with each other, so that the new army, which has only about 100 numbers, can resist the heavy armor of 1,000 people under this tacit cooperation.

This kind of combat power, put on the battlefield, is definitely a big killing weapon, and it will definitely cost a lot of silver to put down a set of equipment.

Compared with them, I feel like a group of Hanako, very poor.

This is also the reason why they want to join the new army, which can not only improve the chances of survival, but also have such luxurious equipment, which makes anyone who sees it have to say envy.

If it weren't for the fact that they were getting down to business right now, they might have to sign up for the new army right now.

Song Biao, Er Meng and the other lieutenants showed envious looks, which was what Su Qi'an wanted to see.

If you want these veterans to be obedient, you must not only have proper majesty, but also give them some hope.

And the performance of the new army is enough to make them envious.

The combat power of the new army is very strong, but they thought wrongly, Su Qi'an never intended to let the new army enliven the battlefield.

The task of the new army is to intersperse behind enemy lines, to act as a special operation, and to be a personal escort.

If it is really placed on the frontal battlefield of the large army, even if the new army is like a god, in front of a large enough army, it will have to be hated and defeated.

Su Qi'an will not do this kind of loss-making business, after all, to train a qualified special combat team member, as well as the equipment on his body, their annual expenses will cost one hundred taels.

These 100 people have to use up 10,000 yuan a year, and this kind of raising soldiers is really a naked burning of money.

If it weren't for Su Qi'an being knighted and opening a commercial house, it would be enough to support this group of people.

Fortunately, now Su Qi'an has restored his royal status, and with his current title and royal status, he can also receive about 200,000 yuan a year.

It does seem like a lot, but if you compare it with the princes who are serious, Su Qi'an's little bit of silver is a small thing, and the princes are about one million taels.

There is no way, in Da Liang, which emphasizes literature and suppresses martial arts, business is quite developed, to put it bluntly, Da Liang has nothing else, but there is money.

This is why Da Liang will be attacked by the surrounding foreign clans, and he completely regards Da Liang as a cash cow.

Every year, the silver for peace and tribute costs seven or eight million taels.

As long as you can be safe, you can give as much as you want.

Thinking of this, Su Qi'an was sad for a while, but this was not something he could change at present, shook his head, and pressed this helplessness to the bottom of his heart.

After a while, a few whistles rang out from the pitch-black cliff above.

Su Qi'an looked up and knew that it was Su Yong who had succeeded.

Under the gaze of everyone, more than a dozen thick ropes fell down the sky.

"Today really opened my eyes, Brother Yong deserves to be a new army, I admire him."

"Brothers, Brother Yong has set an example for us, and it's up to us next."

Song Biao whispered to everyone behind him, and then rushed out first.

Soon, on more than a dozen thick ropes, the soldiers climbed up one after another.

At the same time, some of the soldiers below raised their bows and crossbows high in their hands to prevent accidents at any time.

After a quarter of an hour or so of climbing, several torches were swaying in the darkness at the top.

Looking at this scene, Su Qi's heart was relieved, he knew that the city wall of the cliff behind him had been controlled by Su Yong.

In about half an hour, 5,000 people have already gone up to 2,000 people, including Su Qi'an,

The follow-up 3,000 men and horses, according to Su Qi'an's instructions, had already quietly ambushed in the valley in front of Hangu Pass, waiting for the infiltrators at any time, killing the sentinels, opening the front door, and the two sides should cooperate inside and out.

When Su Qi'an grabbed the rope and climbed over the cliff wall of Hangu Pass, there were four or five corpses in front of him.

Although the cliff behind Hangu Pass was considered impossible by the Rong soldiers to climb up from here.

But after all, they still had to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief, and at night, they sent a sentry to stand guard appropriately.

And Su Qi'an's time chosen by them was at night, which was the time when people were most tired and relaxed.

And under the city wall, there is a towering cliff, who can come up, so this sentry naturally relaxed his vigilance and fell asleep.

But what they didn't expect was that it was this impossibility that made them die, and they were directly wiped by the new army led by Su Yong in their sleep.

Without his order, Su Yong's new army had already taken action, and Song Biao, Er Meng and other people and horses also launched an attack.

When Su Qi installed the city wall, in the darkness ahead, the flames soared into the sky, accompanied by bursts of fierce fighting.

In this battle, Su Qi'an was confident that this kind of surprise attack, looking at the reaction of the Rong soldiers, was completely caught off guard.

Although listening to the voice, the honorees were resisting, but as the main gate of Hangu Pass was opened, the follow-up men and horses of 3,000 people rushed straight to Hangu Pass.

The victory or defeat of Hangu Pass has been decided.

Su Qi'an beckoned to the soldiers beside him who were protecting him and walked towards Hangu Pass.

The surprise attack was quick, almost quick, and it took less than half an hour to settle the battle.

Most of the 2,000 Rong soldiers were killed and wounded, and more than 200 people were captured, while Su Qi'an's side suffered less than 100 casualties.

It was definitely a successful surprise attack.

On the surface, it is easy to take Hangu Pass, but what you see is the result, the silence in the early stage, day and night, these are all invisible, and once it is detected a little, this surprise attack will be wasted.

Therefore, as a last resort, surprise attacks can be used without it, after all, the danger behind this is too great.

Thankfully, this time they succeeded.

looked at Su Qi'an and walked over. Su Yong, Song Biao and the others hugged their fists and said, "Sir, Hangu Pass has been taken, these people are the captives of the Rong soldiers, if Mr. has anything to ask, you can interrogate them."

Su Qi'an nodded, swept his gaze, and looked at the bound captive soldiers.

Although these honored soldiers were captured, their faces were full of dissatisfaction, and there was a vicious look in their eyes.

Without waiting for Su Qi'an to speak, a Rongren who looked like an officer said viciously in a lame cool voice.

"You damn cool people, you will

Those who play yin have the ability to have a head-to-head showdown."

"Hey, fuck you, how did you talk to Mr., look for death!" Song Biao, who was beside him, kicked over the honored officer without saying a word.

The officer was also very stiff, a mouthful of blood spurted out, looked at Su Qi'an viciously, and continued.

"Oh, so you're the damn Uncle Dongshan? The general is really right, you do have some skills, we underestimate you, but don't be too happy, what about occupying Hangu Pass."

"Haha, you can make a surprise attack, the general also has his plan, Uncle Dongshan, you lost this time, wait to collect the body of your Emperor Daliang."

The honorable officer laughed very wildly, but Su Qi'an's face was indifferent, but he suddenly had bad thoughts in his heart.

Su Qi'an's eyes swept over the honored officer, and then as if he had discovered something, he stared at his injured right arm, and said coldly, "I removed his bandage."

With Su Qi'an's words, Song Biao didn't say a word, and ignored the screams of the honored officer, and directly removed his bandage.

The bloody bandage was removed, and the right arm was covered with scars, and a wolf-like tattoo could be clearly seen.

Su Qi'an recognized the identity of the honored officer at a glance, "You are a wolf cavalry?"

was asked by Su Qi'an, and the honorable officer did not shy away from it at all, and directly admitted it.

"That's right, I'm the famous wolf cavalry, there are countless cool people who have died at my hands, my favorite thing to do is to hunt down those cool people who stay where they are with a look of fear, that kind of slaughter, it's really wonderful."

"It's a pity, I didn't kill enough, so I let you catch it, but it's okay, anyway, it won't be long before you go to the funeral with me, which is worthy of it, hahaha."

The Rongren officer shouted frantically, Su Qi'an looked at this person seriously, beckoned, and said to Song Biao.

"Kill all of these people, not one of them, but don't let them die too comfortably, you should know how to do it."

Song Biao was stunned, not because of Su Qi'an's ruthlessness, but because these honored prisoners still have some torture value.

Just now, I was obviously able to get some words, continue to torture, even if I handed them over, I could ask something, but I didn't ask anything, so I killed it, which is a pity.
