Chapter 321: The Great Decisive Battle (IV)

Xu Shu and Yue Xi arrived at the Turgat Pass with full expectations, but were stunned.

They did not see Dong Qi because Dong Qi led the 500-yuan Rong army left by Hua Xiong to him two days ago.

The Turgat Pass is a region where the Tianshan Mountains and the Palacioles meet.

The terrain is gentle on the north and south sides, and it moves westward around the river valley, forming a space about four or so wide.

If the four indices are calculated according to the later generations, they are about one hundred meters.

Just in these four inlets, a slope that is not steep is presented. Above the slope is where the Han'an Army's residence is located.

There are no deep trenches and barriers here, and there is no strong city to rely on.

Apart from a few temporary wooden fences, there is almost nothing that can provide defense.

On the way he came, Xu Shu had already had a very good understanding of the situation here. He knew better that without the barriers of deep grooves, even if Dong Qi had the ability to dominate the sky, he could not stop the 100,000 Wusun, and even more, crazy enemy troops.

The main general stationed at the mountain pass is Qu Yi.

When Dong Tie and the others arrived, he and Gan Ben were inspecting the mountain pass, and his bitterness showed what they were thinking.

How can we win this blocking battle in such a place?

"Yuanrong, you are here!"

Gan Ben and Dong Tie were not familiar with each other, but Qu Yi and Dong Tie were old friends. When he saw Dong Tie, he stepped forward and hugged him.

Yue Xi focused his eyes on Gan Ben, and from this majestic man, he could feel the momentum that only a strong man could possess. Little did he know that Gan Ben was also looking at him, and when the two of them were in contact with each other, they felt the unparalleled powerful power in each other. If the war was not coming, the two might have competed first.

"Why did the lord attack?"

After hearing Qu Yi say it, Dong Tie suddenly became anxious, "Old Qu, how can you let your lord go deep into the dangerous place, why don't you stop him?"

Qu Yi said with a bitter face: "I haven't stopped it yet? I just almost hugged my lord's leg and refused to let him go... But you should know the lord's temper. Once you make a decision, I can't even let him turn back when the king comes. What can I do?"

"But……"

Xu Shu stopped Dong Tie, "Yuanrong, it's right for the lord to do this!"

"oh?"

"To be honest, the lord probably has made a decision since he took on this task. If we talk about the experience of defending the city, although there are many powerful generals under the lord, no one can compare to the lord. Since Wan County, the lord has been doing defense many times. I think no one except a few old generals is more familiar with how to defend than the lord."

Qu Yi had already learned the origin of Xu Shu through Dong Tie.

He asked now, "But what does this have to do with the lord sending troops to Wusun?"

"General, don't forget. In terms of defense, the lord is excellent, but when it comes to cavalry warfare, who is better at catching fighter jets than the lord? When he sent me to Lumen Mountain, he once said a very interesting idea. The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy retreats and we chase them, and the enemy is tired and disturbed... The lord called this tactic a guerrilla tactic at that time."

Qu Yi muttered silently and nodded repeatedly.

"When it comes to guerrilla tactics, the lord sent troops this time definitely not to attack the Wusun people. I'm afraid to a greater extent, it is to restrain the Wusun people, so this tactic will definitely be fully utilized. General Qu, I believe that the lord gave you some explanation before setting off."

Qu Yi nodded, "It's true. The lord said that he would try to delay the Wusun army for ten days and ordered me to build a fortress here. Ten days later, he will turn back to the mountain pass. At that time, the fortress must be built, otherwise it will be done by military law... But this is already the third day... You have also seen that there is nothing here, how can a fortress be built?"

Xu Shu frowned and looked around.

It was mid-November, and it was the cold winter of the 39th. It had already snowed heavily in the Western Regions several times. Looking around, it was a vast area of ​​white.

Xu Shu measured the width of the mountain pass, and then accompanied by Gan Ben, climbed the mountains on both sides.

He didn't say anything. Sometimes he squatted down and pushed the ground away, grabbed a handful of soil, and sometimes he took several steps to observe the slope of the mountain pass.

Until the evening, Xu Shu didn't say a word.

Back in the temporary camp, Xu Shu was going to come again to the list of supplies brought over this time, and it looked serious. He was not in a hurry, but Qu Yi and others couldn't help it. Fortunately, Dong Tie stopped him and wanted to go over and ask him several times, but finally he endured it. That night, everyone was in a state of anxiety.

The next morning, Qu Yi was awakened by a noise.

Dressed with a thick cloak, he walked out of the central army's tent, but found that everyone was busy.

"Yuanzhi, you are..."

Looking at the camp where there were several large pots, some people kept shoveling the snow into the pot, and some people shoveled buckets of snow from the hillside and poured them into the pot. Another group of people, who were holding a few sacks, dug out the wet soil and hit it into the sack.

Dong Tie led the martial artists to cut down trees at the mountain pass and built a frame of a camp wall.

The sacks filled with soil are filled into the frame, not only in this mountain pass, but also in the mountains on both sides.

Qu Yi grabbed Xu Shu in confusion, "What is this for?"

Xu Shu seemed to have not rested all night, his eyes were covered with blood.

However, his spirit looked very good and said with a smile: "Of course it's building a city. General Qu, have you forgotten how the lord blocked the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Guandong princes when he was in Xingyang? I looked through the list yesterday and found that before going to the expedition, the lord specially sent a letter to send 100,000 sacks to Juyancheng. I guess this is the idea."

Xingyang, the city of corpse...

This is what impressed Qu Yi the most.

He had visited after the war, but unfortunately he had disappeared from the Corpse City at that time, so he could only feel the tragic battle situation at that time.

"Yuanzhi, is it really OK?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "It's definitely no problem. Now it's the coldest time in the 39th century. The temperature in the Western Regions is ten times colder than Xingyang at the beginning. Haha, I asked someone to do an experiment last night. In just a moment, a pot of hot water was placed outside and condensed into ice. What's the most here, snow and soil... As long as we build a frame, we can build an unbreakable city wall here tomorrow. In addition, people need to be sent to defend on both sides, so that we will form a barrier. Six days later, when the lord turns back here, he can rest assured."

After all, he is young...

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he immediately realized his mistake.

Qu Yi is the chief general appointed by Dong Qi. He took action without informing Qu Yi first...

I couldn't help but look at Qu Yi, and Xu Shu couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Fortunately, Qu Yi was thinking about the feasibility of this matter and did not consider it in this regard.

However, I still have to apologize to General Qu and ask him to punish him. Otherwise, I would have erected an enemy as soon as I came.

*******

In the early morning, the Naren Valley was filled with thick fog.

Nowadays, the river water is clear, and the staggered ice collision makes a gamble sound.

There is no desolation like later generations, nor does it have endless yellow sand. In fact, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no phenomenon of desertification in the Western Regions. It can be said that it is green everywhere and full of vitality.

As for when did the Western Regions start to become desolate?

Dong Qi didn't know either.

Is it in the Tang Dynasty, or in the Song Dynasty? Or...

This has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he has to keep this green, but the prerequisite is that he must conquer this land.

Walk down the Naren River and you will see Akaguchi Castle.

Of course, there is still a long distance from here to Akagu City. Even if you ride a baby lion mane beast, it will take several days to go.

Dong Chu wanted to fight to Akagu Castle.

But now, he must solve this market town in the Naren Valley.

As Xu Shu guessed, after Dong Qi saw the situation at Yamaguchi and learned that Wusun had started to mobilize the army, he decided to send troops to take a risk... Well, maybe it was a risk, but compared to the previous adventure, this time the purpose is clearer, and maybe it will be more exciting... Wusun, what a fucking grandson!

Taking a deep breath of cold air, Dong Qi forced himself to resist the eagerness in his heart.

He bent down and gently stroked the soft mane of the lion mane beast. A small school student led a horse to his side.

The sky in the Western Regions is dawning later than Guanzhong!

It seems that this place is not the same time zone as Zhongyuan. As for how long it is? Dong Qi can't explain it clearly.

He raised his hand to take off the thunder hammer and hung a hammer on the saddle bridge. He stepped on his feet and gently knocked the lion mane's belly with his heels. The lion mane's beast understood that he took small steps and slowly trotted towards the market town in the Naren Valley...

The five hundred yuan Rong army also started the action with Dong Qi.

Han'an's knife dragged it into the snow and drew a series of traces.

Seeing that the outline of the gate of the market town in front had become clear, Dong Qi suddenly stood up, the lion-maned beast snorted violently, and ran wildly on his hooves.

Twenty steps, twenty steps away from the gate of the market town!

I heard the shrill sound of ghost crying and wolf howls, and a ghost crying spear was nailed fiercely to the wooden door, trembling slightly.

This is the ultimate kill order!

Dong Qi threw out the ghost crying spear and took off the sledgehammer with his right hand.

The lion-maned beast had already rushed to the front of the gate. Dong Qi's energy sinks into the dantian and slams the hammer hard on the gate. A loud bang echoes in the lonely night sky.
Chapter completed!
