Chapter 157: Dingxiang Guard
Arrange Huang Zhong to rest, Wang Gang took Chu Yu and Wu Zhao to the stone room, they led the troops back to Bingzhou this time, and they needed to make some arrangements in Tongguan, just in case. Tongguan can be lost, but the secret of Tongguan cannot be known to outsiders.
Wang Gang opened the exchange device, checked it, and there were more than 50 million copper coins, and he didn't dare to spend them indiscriminately, so he bought some special military rations, and then completely sealed the stone platform with a big stone.
The special military ration is just a pancake, easy to carry, suitable for long-distance marching, that is, the taste is average, but fortunately, it is hungry, and it will be distributed tomorrow, and it can be quickly rushed to Yanmen.
The three of them went to the top of the hill to check, and the top of the mountain seemed to be a military castle, and there were 1,000 people and 3,000 miners in it, but as the pit went deeper, it became a little difficult to mine ore. As for the original thousands of soldiers, they have already gone to the gate to wait.
"How many soldiers are there in the pass," Wang Gang asked, turning to Chu Yu.
"There are more than four thousand, including one thousand three-star archers, two thousand one-star pikemen, one thousand sword and shield soldiers and two hundred cavalry" Chu Yu looked at Wang Gang after speaking, waiting for Wang Gang, thinking about whether to recruit some more soldiers, but now that the stone platform has been sealed, he has to give up.
"Leave two hundred sword and shield soldiers to guard Tongguan"
"Is two hundred a point?" Wu Zhao asked with some uncertainty.
"It doesn't matter how much, as long as I don't have an accident, no one will attack Tongguan for the time being" Wang Gang finished speaking, and the three of them walked along the rope towards the pass.
The sky was slightly bright, the gate on the west side of Tongguan slowly opened, and Wu Zhao led two hundred cavalry to rush out. Huang Zhong next to him was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Wang Gang to have such an elite cavalry in his hands, although the number was a little less, if it was used well, it could play a miraculous effect, and before Huang Zhong sighed, his eyes suddenly froze.
Two thousand pikemen went out of the city in turn, all armed with iron spears, although this army was not yet elite, but if it went through the baptism of war, it would definitely become a strong army. If Jingzhou has such an army, it will definitely be able to sweep the Quartet.
As the archers who came out of the barracks on both sides directly shocked Huang Zhong's jaw, their eyes were fierce and murderous, holding two longbows, and carrying a quiver behind them, which contained a hundred feather arrows. Huang Zhong has played with bows and arrows all his life, so he naturally knows that these archers are not simple, and he also knows what these bows and arrows mean. Although the killing of the Feather Arrow is slightly inferior to that of the Wolf's Tooth Arrow, it will increase the range of more than ten paces, and with the two longbows, it can kill and damage the enemy at a distance of eighty paces.
"Since General Huang is a bow and arrow master, help me see if these archers can get on the table" Wang Gang saw Huang Zhong's surprised expression, and said with a smile.
"The general, this archer, is the most elite Huang Zhong has seen in his life. I don't know which general is in charge," Huang Zhong really wanted to know who had trained such a powerful archer.
Chu Yu stepped forward and saluted Huang Zhong, and said without humility or arrogance.
"Exactly below"
Huang Zhong's heart was clear, and when he saw the longbow on Chu Yu's back, his heart was hot.
Last time, Wen Zhao saw this bow, so he went to say hello, and wanted to buy this bow, so he had a conflict with Wu Zhao, no wonder Wu Zhao couldn't look down on Wen Zhao, in Wu Zhao's eyes, although Chu Yu's force is not the strongest, but this arrow method is definitely rare in the world, and only he can exert the greatest power of shooting the sun.
"General Chu's bow and arrow attainments are admired by Huang Zhong, and he will ask the general for advice when he has time" Although Huang Zhong was surprised by the elite of this archer, if he was convinced like this, it was also unlikely. After speaking, he reached out and touched the five-point strong attack on his back, and his confidence suddenly became a little full.
Wang Gang saw that neither of them was convinced, and hurriedly said in a round.
"General Huang, these 800 sword and shield soldiers are commanded by the general, although they are all in the border of the state and state, it is inevitable that they will encounter a small group of Hun cavalry, and there will be General Lao Huang leading the sword and shield soldiers."
"Obey" Huang Zhong clasped his fists and saluted, looking towards the rear.
Huang Zhong's mood suddenly improved a lot, these eight hundred sword shield soldiers, is it a normal army, holding a round wooden shield in one hand and a long knife in the other, both offensive and defensive. This is also the equipment of most county soldiers, after all, it is cheap.
The army went out of Tongguan and slowly marched towards Yanmen County, which was more than 1,000 miles from Tongguan to Yanmen County, and Wang Gang had already walked through. But this time is a little different, last time you could come slowly and leisurely, but this time you have to go to Yanmen to rescue, so you naturally have to march quickly.
Along the way, he encountered many people who had fled with their families, and Wang Gang sent someone to inquire about it. Yunzhong County has been conquered by the Xiongnu on all fronts, is dividing troops to attack Wuyuan County, if the Xiongnu take Wuyuan County, they will be able to point directly at Taiyuan County, the hinterland of Bingzhou, threatening Jinyang, and the northern part of Shangdang County also found a large number of Xiongnu cavalry, but Shangdang County is mountainous, and the Xiongnu can not spread out large-scale operations for a while, Shangdang County Taishou Zhang Yang led 4,000 soldiers to block.
Wang Gang's mood was a little heavier, Yunzhong County was defeated on all fronts, then Yanmen County would face the enemy left and right, and if Shangdang County was conquered again, then Yanmen County would be attacked on three sides. Thinking of Yunzhong County, I couldn't help but think of Gao Shun, the captain of the Guardian Slaughter Colonel stationed in Dingxiang County, and I don't know how he is now.
The weather is gradually getting colder, the Han people in Dingxiang County have basically fled to Taiyuan, the county has been besieged by the Huns for a month, the county lieutenant has been killed in battle, the four hundred county soldiers in Dingxiang County are less than 100 people, the Huns have also put down their cruel words, if they capture the city, they will not seal the knife for three days. Now responsible for defending the city is Gao Shun led by the 200 hundred trapped camp, after more than a year of expansion, Gao Shun has expanded the trapped camp to 600 people, but after days of hard fighting, the casualties have been more than half, but the soldiers have less than 200 people.
Gao Shun stood at the head of the city, watching the teams of people under the city slaughter, driven by the Huns, slowly towards the city wall.
"Ready to fight"
Gao Shun let out a low sigh and clenched the spear in his hand.
Hugh Tu set up the ladder, bit the short knife in his mouth, grabbed the ladder with both hands, and quickly climbed towards the city wall. A beam falls from above. Slammed into the climbing, Hugh Tu Pawn spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, fell down, and smashed the soldiers below with him, and fell into the pile of corpses below. The corpses below were already more than half a meter tall, and most of them were slaughtered, but fortunately, now that the weather is getting colder, the corpses are decomposing relatively slowly.
As more and more soldiers climbed up, there was no more wood left on the city wall, and the Hugh Tu soldier who climbed in front was a little happy and stretched out his hand to grab the city wall, and was about to turn over, but a spear stabbed head-on, and it was too late to dodge, and he fell down with a scream, and a blood hole on the door was still bubbling with blood.
More and more people climbed the city wall, and the soldiers of the trap camp on the city wall held a shield in their left hand and a gun in their right, and simply and repeatedly stabbed their spears out, stabbing Hutu people one by one on the city wall.
The Great War lasted from sunrise to sunset. With the sound of Jin Ge in the distance, only a few hundred corpses were left behind, and they swarmed backwards.
