Chapter 283: The High Valley Falls

The intersection of the western front guarded by the Northwest Military Town and Cao Bao Town is a natural pass. It is lined with high mountains. In the middle is the trough. The valley is twenty feet wide. Enough to make the war horse gallop. The name of this pass is Takaya. After the high valley is an ancient road that stretches for nearly a thousand miles. Along the ancient road, you can go straight into the hinterland of Daqian. You can also go down until the Sword Gate closes. into the Great Qiannandi. You can also go straight southeast to reach Gangnam.

This is a truly strategic location. At the beginning, Shu Tiange made a surprise attack on Gaogu to avoid Shanhaiguan and entered the territory of Daqian. In the art of war, there are those who are clear, those who are hanging, those who are supporting, those who are passing, those who are dangerous, and those who are far away. The Narrower. I lived in it first. We will be ready for the enemy. If the enemy lives first. Profit and do not follow. Don't follow it.

Since Xiao Luohe forced Shu Tiange back to the border line. This pass of the Xiaoluo River took a lot of effort to repair. And send a capable veteran to lead 10,000 heavy troops to defend this place. In the end, when Shu Tiange stormed Shanhaiguan. The 10,000 heavy soldiers here have not easily made it out of the pass. Until Cao Bao was in charge of the military administration on the Western Front. Only then did he take back the high valley that was originally the pass of the Western Front.

Cao Bao, who is the secretary of the military department, naturally knows the danger of this pass. Before, 10,000 elite soldiers were also sent to defend the town. But since Shu Tiange made a false shot in the territory of the Western Front. Cao Bao could only transfer the 10,000 elite soldiers to the first hundred miles of the Western Front. Send 3,000 elite soldiers to receive here. And repeatedly instructed the general Hu who guarded the high valley not to fight lightly here. Be sure to stick to it.

This General Hu came here when he came. but the walls were built on top of the valleys. The walls of the city clinging to the mountain walls on both sides. There are also tall buildings built on top of the mountain wall.

On this day, General Hu was inspecting the customs defense. This General Hu did not have much military talent. It's just a steady person. Down-to-earth step by step to today's status. He is also a powerful general in the army. This time Cao Bao sat on the Western Front generation. The old handsome was replaced. Now I am slightly dissatisfied with this Cao Bao, who has replaced the position of the old handsome who has the grace of knowing him.

General Hu is also in his fifties now. At the beginning, he left his hometown for many years and lived here for more than 30 years. I have settled down here today.

These 3,000 elite soldiers in the hands of General Hu. Cao Bao is not stingy. Handed over the warlike division to General Hu. He even handed over a team of dead soldiers in the army personally trained by Cao Bao to General Hu.

Just in this gray beard. The body is quite strong. When the rough-looking General Hu inspected the customs defense. The red flags above the tall buildings on both sides suddenly swayed. I still heard the soldiers on the tall buildings shouting downward, "There is an enemy. There are enemies."

General Hu shouted when he heard it. I was shocked. I didn't think that there were really enemy troops now. What are the 20,000 heavy soldiers on guard in front of them for? They actually let the enemy go around their rear.

General Hu galloped up the city wall for a mile. Look around. Dust billowed beyond the pass. Also listen to the horse's hooves like thunder. Between the flags, a bright red banner with the word "Shu" appeared. General Hu's heart pounded suddenly. Shu Zi. Shu Tiange pro-Zheng.

General Hu immediately ordered "Burn wolf smoke.". Flag-carrying lieutenant next to General Hu. Immediately raised the flag in his hand and let the soldiers on the tall building light the beacon fire.

Not a little for a while. The two tall buildings are lit up with crumbling wolf smoke.

General Hu heard the sound of horses' hooves gradually slowing down. Take a look. Obedient. There are 20,000 soldiers and horses here. Since it is Shu Tiange, he is naturally an elite. 20,000 elite soldiers are in the city. Jean's General Hu's heart sank. If it's someone else who comes. General Hu also had the courage to fight against it. But in the face of this Shu Tiange. He really didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, the 20,000 troops that General Hu saw came like ants. It is only a hundred feet away from the pass. The team came to a standstill. A column of square formations. Shield in front. The archers are ready to go. The cavalry was guarded on both flanks.

I saw the drums of war resounding in the valley. Shu Tiange's personal army began to move slowly." Hmph. Hmph. Hum ha.". Every step of the way. It's the humming sound that shocks the enemy's heart. The shieldmen and archers began to march slowly.

General Hu suppressed the shock in his heart. He roared, "Pass me the order. Five hundred archers are ready." On both sides of the high mountains. Two hundred and fifty archers on one side. And a hundred wrestlers. Responsible for pushing off the rolling stone sasswood.

And there were two hundred archers on top of the tower. A total of 700 archers opened the bowstrings. Buzzing at the bowstring.

"Huh.". Another big step forward. The archers stopped. The formation spreads out. The bow and arrow in the hand are pulled away. Projectile power.

Both sides shouted "put." at the same time. The archers of the two armies face off in the first round. Two thousand archers against seven hundred archers. Arrows rained down.

"Hmph. Hmph. Hmph." The shield-bearer raises his shield. Block bows and arrows and falling rocks from overhead. Pace quickened between. Hurried under the walls.

Rolling stones rain down the cliffs. The shield phalanx suddenly fell into a rain of stones. A loss in one time is hundreds. The shieldman is smashed by a rolling stone. was smashed into ooze mud. For a time, the shield phalanx offensive cracked the gap. The follow-up shieldbearers couldn't keep up. The offensive is a block.

The wails echoed in the valleys. The shieldman was stopped by the boulder for a while. The price of stagnation is to be stoned to death. Losses skyrocketed.

General Hu saw that Shu Tiange's shield hand was blocked and stagnated. I have a little confidence in my heart. He shouted, "Pass me the order. Send another 100 people to throw boulders and trees."

In the midst of a rain of arrows on both sides. The two hundred archers on the walls were completely suppressed. A shield was erected on the city wall to block the bows and arrows of the army led by Shu Tiange.

The shield phalanx that General Hu looked at through the gap was like a turtle crawling at the moment. I still don't feel at ease. Ordered: "Herald. Prepare the oil for fire."

At this moment, there were only more than 1,000 shieldmen left. Part of it was because of the chaos of the crack in the battle formation in front of it. They tripped under their feet, fell to the ground, pushed each other and died.

"Wow." There was a soft sound. The more than 1,000 shield-bearers huddled around him began to flee backwards. General Hu saw that the opponent's shield hand had been dispersed. Let the shield bearer let go of the shield. Standing on the city wall, he laughed and said, "Shu Tiange is nothing more than that. Now I haven't even touched my city wall, but I have already paid nearly thousands of soldiers and horses. And I wasn't hurt. Hahaha."

The soldiers around him also echoed General Hu and laughed. General Hu smiled and watched as the more than 1,000 shield players who dispersed blended into the battle formation behind. Waiting for Shu Tiange's next attack.

At this time, the soldier on the high cliff waved down and shouted, "General. Reinforcements are coming.". General Hu was overjoyed. Ask "how many .". The soldier replied, "About ten thousand."

General Hu heard this. A happy clapping of hands. He said, "Pass me the order. Wait a minute, the whole army will attack. Li Ying and Wai joined forces with reinforcements to defeat Shu Tiange. Capture Shu Tiange alive."

"Yes."

General Hu looked out from the city wall. I saw the cavalry who were originally in charge of the two flanks of the battle array. Converge backwards. And dust billowed in the distance. As soon as General Hu heard this, he knew that there were tens of thousands of war horses galloping.

General Hu clenched the saber in his hand tightly. As long as he catches Shu Tiange alive this time. Defeat Shu Tiange. I'm about to go straight to the top.

"Someone. Pass me on the order for the whole army to attack.". When General Hu saw that the reinforcements had already implemented a tactical outflanking of Shu Tiange's battle array. Decisive order.

"Boom." Eight hundred cavalry in the city. Sixteen hundred infantry poured out. Rush to Shu Tiange's rear.

General Hu is holding a spear. Sit down on a black war horse. Rush away.

"Kill.". General Hu shouted. Be the first to rush into the rear of the enemy army.

The 2,200-meter elite division rushed into it. Suddenly, Shu Tiange was attacked by the enemy in the battle array.

And by this time, the reinforcements had already completed the tactical encirclement. Casually, General Hu led 2,200 soldiers wrapped in it.

I saw that the soldiers around him rushed to kill General Hu's 2,200 soldiers.

General Hu's eyes widened with rage. The reinforcements I saw were killing their own people. I'm already in the middle of a battle. Countless knives and spears stabbed at him.

Two thousand two hundred soldiers fell into the ranks of nearly 30,000 enemy troops. The whole army was annihilated.

Immediately, the banner of the army that erected the word Shu was changed. Replaced with the word tart.

An army of 30,000 easily entered the valley.

The high valley is lost.

Shocked the world. The court was furious.

The army of Thousand Snows once again rushed to the high valley and stepped into the hinterland of the Great Dry.
