Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Battle for the Pass
Xuan Qi nodded, knowing that Gu Feiyan intended to guide the obsession in his heart, since he had a murderous intent, he might as well kill from his heart, as long as he was worthy of his own heart! Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xuan Qi said goodbye to Gu Feiyan's master and apprentice, and when he returned to Lu'an, it was still early spring in February, and the ice and snow had not yet melted. Xuan Qi led an army of 150,000 to the west in the ice and snow, approaching the county seat of Gushi. The army moved slowly, and Xuan Qi had already entered Gushi County early.
With the help of thousands of masters of the rivers and lakes, there were only about 2,000 Hun soldiers in Gushi City, and within two hours, they had been completely resolved. After the army spent the night in Gushi City, it set off again, all the way to the west, but in seven days, Xuanqi had already taken Guangshan, Yincheng, and Luoshan counties, and forced Shenzhou City.
Shenzhou is backed by Dabie Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 50,000 Xiongnu troops. The guard general Tuoba Hong, he didn't expect the Xuanqi army to appear under the city in this ice and snow, and hurriedly asked the Huns to close the city gate and close the door to thank the battle.
Xuan Qi was not in a hurry, until the next night, Chu Lin appeared in front of him. After careful discussion with Chu Lin, in the early morning of the next day, Xuan Qi found 1,500 masters of the rivers and lakes who went out with the army, and personally led them along the Dabie Mountain in the south of Shenzhou City. In this icy and snowy land, only these extraordinary people in the rivers and lakes will not be afraid of the mountains and high roads.
Under the leadership of Chu Lin, Xuan Qiyi and his party crossed the mountains and gradually approached the Thirteen-Mile Bridge in the south of Shenzhou City. This place is an important pass for Shenzhou to go south to Dabie Mountain, sandwiched between two mountains, and there are 1,000 Hun soldiers stationed. The crowd approached the pass before dark and hid in the dense forest. Looking up, the pass is several feet high, stacked with stones, but quite steep.
Everyone waited until after dark, Xuan Qi asked everyone to wait first, and he took advantage of the night to quietly approach the wall. On the wall, the guards patrolled back and forth, but they couldn't see Xuanqi, who used the gecko to swim on the wall and quickly went up. Xuanqi's fingers were clasped in the stone cracks, and at the moment when the two patrolling Huns staggered, he turned over to the wall, swept over the wall in an instant, and turned over and hung on the stone wall in the pass.
The city gate of the pass is only more than a zhang wide, and there are two Hun soldiers sitting at the city gate, sitting back to back, warming each other. Xuan Qi slowly went downstream along the wall, his feet clasped the stone crack, and hung down on top of the heads of the two Hun soldiers. The light cast Xuan Qi's shadow on the ground, and a Hun soldier subconsciously raised his head, but was quickly slashed by Xuan Qi at the throat with a palm, and suddenly his neck was crooked and he fell to the ground.
Another Hun soldier suddenly lost his support behind him, and when he fell backwards with his back to the sky, he had not yet screamed, but he was already covered by Xuan Qi's mouth and nose, and with a squeak, Xuan Qi had already twisted the neck of the Hun soldier. Xuan Qi walked into the city gate, removed the iron door bolt, and forcefully opened the wooden door wrapped in iron sheets.
The sound of the city gate opening alarmed the Hun soldiers patrolling the wall, and in the shouting and questioning, the sound of running footsteps came, and several Hun soldiers had already rushed down the wall. The wooden door opened wide, and the heroes hidden on both sides of the gate quickly rushed into the pass. Xuan Qi left a group of Hun soldiers who rushed over after hearing the sound to the group of heroes, and he took Chu Lin and rushed towards the gate on the other side. Countless Hun soldiers rushed over, and Xuan Qi and Chu Lin simply jumped to the rooftops on both sides and accelerated forward.
Dozens of feet away, I soon saw the closed door. At this time, at the gate, only two Hun soldiers stood nervously, and the rest of the Hun soldiers rushed to the gate on the other side. Xuan Qi and the others jumped off the roof, and they were already seen by several Hun soldiers and shouted.
Xuan Qi rushed to the gate, while Chu Lin quickly went up to the wall and rushed towards the patrolling Huns. The dog-beating stick was in Chu Lin's hand, smart and weird, and in an instant, two Hun soldiers were smashed their sternums and fell to the ground screaming. The remaining Hun soldiers rushed forward and surrounded Chu Lin.
Xuan Qi quickly rushed into the city gate, and the two Hun soldiers guarding the gate, one of them had already died under Xuan Qi's hands. Xuan Qi picked up a spear and stood in the hole in the city gate. The Hun soldiers, who heard the shouting in the distance, found Xuan Qi and rushed over, and dozens of people shouted and rushed towards Xuan Qi.
Xuan Qi clenched the spear with both hands, and the spear was like a dragon going out to sea, and it had already pierced into the chest of a Hun soldier who rushed to the front. In the scream, Xuanqi's spear was already drawn, swept away, and smashed the head of another approaching Hun soldier. Xuan Qi stood in the city gate hole more than one zhang wide, and simply used the "Tianshan Seven Peerless Swords" with a spear, only to see the silver light shining, densely covering the entire city gate hole. The Hun soldiers who rushed to the front of the city gate cave were either killed or wounded, and several people had fallen in an instant, but it was difficult to approach for a while.
The heroes on the other side, adhering to Xuan Qi's consistent style, shot ruthlessly. The Hun soldiers couldn't stop these masters at all, not to mention that the number of heroes was much more than the number of Hun soldiers. The number of Hun soldiers killed rose rapidly, and they were forced to retreat step by step, towards the gate on the other side.
At this time, Chu Lin was already the Hun soldiers patrolling the wall, and he was wielding a dog-beating stick to resist the Hun soldiers who rushed along the stone steps to the wall. The dog-beating stick envoy came out, and immediately screamed again and again, and the Hun soldiers were either directly shot down under the wall, or rolled down the stone steps. The stone steps were not wide, so that the Hun soldiers could only rush up to two people at the same time, and they could not pose a threat to Chu Lin at all.
As more and more Hun soldiers rushed forward, the city gate hole was already full of corpses, piled together, looking quite chilling. The Huns began to stop rushing forward, but instead took their bows and arrows and shot towards Xuanqi. The long arrows were shot densely, but Xuan Qi was not afraid, and the spear in his hand danced so tightly that the long arrows were difficult to get close to at all.
At this time, there were less than 500 Hun soldiers left who were defeated and retreated, all of them were crowded on both sides of the small city gate, and people rushed towards the city gate. Xuanqi's spear was like electricity, and he shot quickly, and all the Hun soldiers who rushed to the front were not spared, and they all died under Xuanqi's spear. Fortunately, the piled up corpses hindered the impact of the Hun soldiers, so that Xuan Qi would not be too busy.
Seeing that the hole in the city gate was blocked, the Huns began to pull the corpse aside, but unfortunately, under the attack of the heroes, the number of people was getting smaller and smaller, only more than a hundred. The heroes were merciless, and at every moment, several Huns were killed on the spot.
In this way, after a stick of incense, there were less than thirty Hun soldiers who could still stand, and under the attack of the heroes, soon, the entire pass was quiet. At this time, less than an hour had passed since Xuanqi opened the gate, and all the 1,000 Hun soldiers died in this pass.
This place is still nearly twenty miles away from Shenzhou City, and the heroes do not dare to delay, so they quickly go out of the customs and go towards Shenzhou City. In this starry night, the well-groomed official road made the speed of the heroes much faster.
