512. The wine is still warm
On the other side, Nangong Shi had already led the army to approach Bishui Pass.
But before they could reach the gate, they were discovered.
There is a lonely peak outside the Bishui Pass, all sides are like cutting, high and steep, there is a cliff on it, covers an area of dozens of zhang, three sides are white mist, sometimes turn into thousands of troops and horses, sometimes turn into rolling tide, sometimes shrink and expand, changeable.
On this cliff, there is a large beacon tower, only one side can enter, and it must be along the winding path and twists and turns to climb it.
Nangong Shi led the army through Gufeng, knowing that there was a merchant army beacon above that could ventilate and report the news, but there was no way to take the beacon.
The mountain roads are narrow and well-guarded, and the scouts can't get in, let alone send troops to attack.
The beacon tower army on the lonely peak learned that Nangong Shi had led the army to attack, so he climbed to the top of the mountain, observed the enemy's situation, and easily lit a beacon fire.
I have to say that the beacon fire invented by King Su many years ago played a huge role in wartime.
The guard general saw the black army below, and said: "General Dou is really clever, seeing Xiqi sending troops, he knows that they are coming to attack Bishui Pass, let's see, isn't this really coming." ”
However, even if there are not a few soldiers around, this defender is not worried that the Zhou army will attack.
The beacon tower is built along the mountain wall, just an entrance, the army can not attack at all, only for two people to barely cross the road, one man is the pass, even if Xiqi sends hundreds of thousands of troops, it can't be opened.
Looking at the wolf smoke rising from the lonely peak on the top, Nangong Shi was also helpless, and couldn't help but sigh: "The army is in hand, although it can tackle key problems, but it can't help this small peak, this beacon tower is at the forefront, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, it can be stationed all the time, and constantly give beacon signals to tell the movement of our army in the Guannei merchant army, which is really troublesome..."
Nangong Shi couldn't help but look at Lei Zhenzi and asked, "General, you have two wings and can fly in the sky, can you go up and take down the merchant army in the beacon tower?"
Lei Zhenzi shook his head and said, "If it is a breakthrough, the last general will definitely take the lead, but this beacon..."
Lei Zhenzi's face was embarrassed, not that he didn't want to, but that the karma of cause and effect was too great, he was involved in the world as an immortal, and he had been contaminated with cause and effect, and he could occasionally use some spells, and he had to act in a mortal way in ordinary times, otherwise the cause and effect would only be greater.
When the Yellow Emperor fought with Chi You, several of his uncles suffered the loss of unscrupulous abuse of spells, and the cause and effect were too great, so they had to spend a killing robbery in the Fengshen Tribulation.
"In this way, we can only leave some soldiers and horses behind. Nangong Shi sighed and said: "Although this beacon tower is insignificant, if a hundred or so people suddenly go down the mountain, it will be a trouble to cut off our army's food and grass in a dangerous place." ”
In a short time, the Zhou army had already come to the outside of Bishui Pass.
In the Bishui Pass, the square Dou Rong was resting, and suddenly heard the noise outside the pass, and suddenly woke up, and there was a report from the horse in due time: "General, the big thing is not good!"
Dou Rong calmly straightened his clothes and said in a deep voice: "Why are you so panicked?"
The spy replied: "Nangong Shi led the Xiqi army to attack the fortifications!"
"And sure enough, it came. Dou Rong was not surprised, the Xiqi soldiers would cut down nothing more than two roads, one Jiameng Pass and the other Bishui Pass.
Dou Rong was not in a hurry, but the spies were in a hurry, and he said repeatedly: "There is a birdman shouting and demonstrating outside the gate, as if he wants to invite a fight!"
"Let's go, let's take a look. ”
Summoned his own soldiers, put on all the armor, and Dou Rong came to the city.
Looking around, I saw a small group of soldiers and horses arrayed on the flat ground outside the pass, and the first general had a blue face and red hair, looked like a birdman, held a long stick, and was shouting for war.
"Kill!"
At this moment, a roar like a landslide suddenly sounded in the distance, and countless soldiers and horses rushed out from the horizon like a tide, until they were a hundred steps away from the water pass, and they were set aside one by one.
As far as Dou Rong's vision could see, there was a cloud of smoke and dust, and there seemed to be a large number of soldiers and horses, and Zhou's banner almost covered the earth.
Lei Zhenzi and the hundreds of soldiers and horses around him were still shouting for battle, and shouted loudly: "Wait for a pillar of incense to surrender, if not, there is only one death!"
"Huh..."
Dou Rong was quite disdainful, and with a wave of his hand, the guards around him bent their bows and arrows, and there was a piercing scream, and hundreds of arrows were fired in unison.
Lei Zhenzi was taken aback suddenly, he hadn't seen anyone who didn't say a word and shot arrows directly, this is too vicious, right?
He was busy swinging the golden stick to block it.
Although he was not injured, but he lost face, Lei Zhenzi knew that he was not very welcome in Xiqi, and he could understand it, after all, he became a general without an inch of merit, and it was really difficult to convince the public.
He shouted angrily: "Break the pass today, the chicken and dog will not stay!"
The more than 100 soldiers around him were also frightened by Dou Rong's unruly arrow rain, and when they thought of this, they gritted their teeth, and also followed Lei Zhenzi to learn well, and shouted: "Break the level today, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!"
"Break the level today, no chickens and dogs will be left!"
"Break the level today, no chickens and dogs will be left!"
At the juncture of the water, Dou Rong didn't care, but just checked whether his armor was neat again, and then showed up to observe the situation under the gate.
At this time, the deputy general Han Rong arrived, and when he saw Dou Rong's cautious appearance, he couldn't help frowning, and said:
"General, please allow the last general to go out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Han Rong thought very simply, the other party came to tackle the key problems, invited the fighting generals, if they couldn't hold it all the time, it would be okay for a day or two, after a long time, the morale of the soldiers guarding the pass would inevitably be low, and the fighting spirit would decline, and the enemy army would show off their might and boost their morale.
Dou Rong blinked, shrank to the side, and lowered his head behind the city wall before saying to Dou Rong: "It's not appropriate." ”
It's just two words, but it's as calm as a mountain and as hard as a rock.
Han Rong was reluctant, and said again: "General, please allow the last general to go out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Dou Rong explained: "The enemy army is sharp and cannot be fought. ”
Han Rong had his own words, saying: "For the general, destroy the enemy in Zhengrui, turn the tide and fall immediately, general, please give the order to meet the enemy!"
"No. ”
Dou Rong is still so concise and to the point, this is true, but I didn't see that the other party invited to fight was a birdman, either with strange skills or strong martial arts, even if it was a face-saving goods, how could you fight when others flew into the sky?
Han Rong bowed again and again: "If the general is unwilling, as long as General Xu Mo takes 300 of his own soldiers out of the pass to meet the enemy." ”
Dou Rong held his helmet, stretched out his head to look at Lei Zhenzi, who was still inviting battle outside the pass, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Order, beat the drum, blow the trumpet, open the gate, and go out to meet the enemy!"
Han Rong was overjoyed and hurriedly received his order.
"Wait. Dou Rong stopped Han Rong, took out the leather bag on his waist, handed it to him, and said, "This wine is still warm, please drink it to the general, and you should be the general." ”
"Okay!" Han Rong didn't think much about it, and drank it in one gulp.
After a few mouthfuls, he threw the leather bag on the ground, wiped his mouth, and said in a very chic manner: "General, don't worry, the last general will come when he goes..."
As soon as the words fell, and within three steps, the man fell.
Dou Rong picked up the skin, and there was some regret in his words: "I've drunk it all, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for two or three days." ”
He summoned left and right and ordered: "General Han Rong is tired of patrolling the customs day and night, help him back to his house to rest." ”
After a few moments, the door was still open.
The fierce sound of war drums and the long sound of horns were mixed and rushed into the sky.
The closed door slowly opened, and the gate weighing more than 10,000 catties also creaked up under the lifting of the noose, and the suspended suspension bridge was lowered at the same time.
Seeing that someone was about to go out to face the battle, Lei Zhenzi was overjoyed, and the soldiers around him who had already yawned also cheered up.
Achievements are just around the last day!
This is the first battle of the war!
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
In the midst of the shock, the Xiqi generals turned their heads sideways.
The door was wide open, and the drawbridge landed, with only a rush of horses' hooves.
After a long time, only a white horse ran out with hooves in the pass, galloped in front of the Zhou army, and snorted coquettishly.
Other than that, there was no one.
