Chapter seven hundred and fifty fifth cruel, outrageous(1/2)
"Boom, boom, boom... boom, boom, boom..." The sound of horse hooves was rolling. The twenty thousand Zhao cavalry were like a galloping iron stream flowing across the ground.
"Full speed ahead, full speed ahead—"
Zhao Lian, who had all white beard and hair, was riding at the front, raising his weapon high and roaring loudly from time to time. He must arrive before Uweituo breaks the Feixian Pass, otherwise, he will really be shameless in the world.
.
What was a good situation to catch a turtle in an urn suddenly turned into a mess. It was himself who offered the king a plan to prevent the Han army from entering, who mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to surround Hu Qi on all sides, and who spent ten months without accomplishing anything. Zhao
Lian felt that his sin could never be redeemed by death!
The waning moon in the sky hangs in the west, it's the second watch!
A torch was lit, and the long iron flow turned into a torrent of fire dragons. Speeding through the starry night, Zhao Lian did not dare to relax for a moment.
"Ah... acridine..." A series of screams suddenly came from the side. Zhao Lian, who was walking in front of the horse, couldn't help being surprised, "What happened to the left and right?"
When I asked, I heard a few more screams. The team still slowed down.
"Grand Governor, there are traps and caltrops on the road. Wen Sima and a dozen brothers are here." A general came to report to Zhao Lian.
Zhao Lian rushed to the scene of the accident and saw Wen Cheng, one of his army commanders, lovingly comforting a war horse with a broken leg. Zhao Lian recognized that the war horse lying on the ground was Wen Cheng's mount.
Under the light of the torch, we could see that there were dozens of sinkholes the size of thin bowls on the flat surface. Two of the sinkholes still contained two bloody horse front legs.
"Despicable." Zhao Lian's face turned pale as he cursed.
The soldiers and soldiers on the side all had solemn faces. Horses are the favorite of soldiers, and there is an outstanding mount that can be in their hearts day and night. Hu Qi is now using such a damaging move to deal with their advance. Naturally, people
People are angry. But no matter how angry they are, they must admit in their hearts that such a setting is a great restraint on the cavalry in the dark night.
"Can't slow down. We need to move quickly. We must reach Feixian Pass before dawn——"
Unable to bear the flash on Zhao Lian's face, he hardened his heart and Zhao Lian's ruthless orders urgently needed to be changed.
"ah……"
"Hey... stop it... stop it..."
The team resumed its speed. Thirty feet, nothing happened; fifty feet, nothing happened; a hundred feet...
Zhao Jun had just relaxed a little. At this moment, another series of shrill screams came from the front army, and the entire march speed immediately slowed down.
"Don't stop, the whole army will advance quickly, the whole army will advance quickly..." Zhao Lian ran back on his horse and shouted loudly all the way. Even with the evil tricks of Hugou, the army must bear this kind of loss and march forward at a gallop -
However, the bowl-sized holes and sharp iron caltrops on the official road really made all the cavalry hate them!
"Go around. Go around..."
"Grand Commander, you can't force your way in. If you do this suddenly, within ten miles, the courage of our entire army will be exhausted."
Zhao Lian agreed. After losing more than a hundred cavalry, the Zhao army, which was under 20,000 men, let go of the official road. They beat the horses and rushed down the fields on the left and right.
Twenty miles south of Feixian Pass, outside a village, under the moonlit night, hundreds of carts piled with earth and rocks formed a long, winding queue, quietly lurking on the official road under the cover of night.
"Huh..." Zhao Lian reined in his horse and looked at a dark shadow like a parapet that was vaguely visible in the moonlight not far away. He was shocked. Could it be that Hu Gou was behind him?
Wencheng, who had just changed his mount, had slowed down a little. He and Zhao Lian's position had dropped from the earliest vanguard to the middle of the front army. "Captain, look, Hu Gou's big flag!"
"Grand Governor... Iron Caltrops..." Dozens of Zhao Jun cavalry in the front row each held a torch. They had to turn from the official road to the fields because of these things before, and now Feixian Pass is not far away.
At the same place, we returned from the fields to the official road again. We had to be more careful and cautious when traveling along the road, but even so, half of the people and horses who explored the road in front were lost.
Now that the war has not started, the Zhao army's cavalry has already damaged 200 horses and injured nearly a hundred soldiers, including no less than 30 people who died on the spot. "On the road ahead, everything that comes into view is..."
Before the sergeant who turned back finished speaking, three bloody arrows suddenly appeared on his chest...
Then the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was heard.
What's surprising is that these sharp arrows were not fired from a bow, but by hand. The person who made the move was a master of Hu Qizhong. Zhao Lian was in the center of the front army, and there could not be anyone around him.
Hu Qi ambushed.
Zhao Jun was suddenly attacked, and the screams of sharp arrows entering his body caused Zhao Jun to be confused. Taking the opportunity, three figures disappeared into the darkness on the left and right.
"Attack-" Zhao Lian ignored the three assassins. For the overall situation, this was just a scabies disease. The main issue was that the army quickly reached Feixian Pass.
"Load the arrow, shoot, shoot." He shouted from behind the defense line, holding a scimitar in his hand and pointing to a place more than a hundred steps away where dozens of torches were gathered. His intuition told him that that should be where General Zhao Qi's army was.
At a distance of more than a hundred steps, the short bows in the hands of the barbarians could not be shot, and the same was true for the golden wolf cavalry. But this distance was within the range of the crossbow. Uwei, who had traveled between Han and Zhao for more than two months,
The pack troops have many powerful crossbows in their hands, and there are even many crossbows.
For example, here right now, there are 300 repeating crossbows, 1,000 powerful crossbows, and 50,000 crossbow arrows. These can do a lot of things.
"Strong crossbow——" Upon hearing this sharp and sharp sound piercing the air, Wencheng immediately knew that it was a crossbow arrow and not a bow arrow. The heads of the Zhao Jun cavalry in the front row were the first to hear this sound.
Time shrunk behind the horse's neck, and his body slipped and immediately fell from the horse's back to the ground.
As soon as many people landed, they heard their horses scream and fell to their knees. Crossbow bolts were pierced into the horses' foreheads, necks, and faces.
Crossbow bolts, arrow rain, plus sinkholes and iron caltrops on the ground.
"Swish swish... swish swish..."
Zhao Jun, who charged once, left more than 200 dead bodies behind and was quickly defeated.
"Order the scouting horses to explore left and right. If there is no ambush, the army will surround you on both sides——"
It was the fourth watch. Zhao Lian looked at Hu Qi in front of him, feeling anxious and happy at the same time. He was anxious and wanted to take a step outside Feixian Pass, but he was happy that Hu Qi was still there, Feixian Pass must have not been lost!
"Grand Governor, General Yimo looked at it. While exploring the left and right, our army did not use horses to rush into the formation in front. After breaking through the traps and thorns, the main force of our army could move forward to eat these bastards.
Dog, give it a beating first!" said the commander of the soldiers around him.
"That's fine." Zhao Lian didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately agreed. Because in the past few dozen miles, all the lieutenant generals and soldiers of Zhao's army were so angry that they were dying of grievances, but they had no way to vent them. A head-on charge would only increase casualties.
, it is not advisable to fight forcefully. Then the only way is to waste Hugou like this, and then explode to the fullest.
Through the faint light in the sky, the traces of the arrows can still be faintly seen.
The mournful sound of horses came from the front again. The horses charging into the formation were getting closer and closer. Until less than thirty steps in front of the formation, all the horses, no less than 300 horses, had fallen to the ground.
.
"Another two hundred horses." Zhao Lian shouted.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." With a reply, a group of Zhao Jun cavalry at the forefront turned over their horses and drew a knife on the horse's buttocks...
"Boom, boom, boom...boom, boom, boom..." The thunderous sound came again, like rolling summer thunder, rolling over.
"Crossbowmen. Shoot—" The two hundred war horses were not in Hu Jietan's eyes at all.
However, this small piece of protection was not enough at all. After Zhao Jun sent out probing horses to the left and right to find out the way, Hu Jietan led the three thousand golden wolf cavalry to mount their horses and ran away.
He has been stagnant here for more than half an hour, and it is almost dawn. It has been a whole night since he took Feixian Pass. After this night of work, nearly ten thousand Dahu died in and outside Feixian Pass in the past three days.
The bodies of the warriors should have been collected and buried. In this way, Hu Jietan ran away without any burden. In the future, when Zhao Qi chases Feixian Pass, King Youxian will also lead him
The soldiers will run away from the pass.
Two or three months of fighting, 50,000 elite soldiers, and only one of the three stops left. The casualties were large enough and tragic enough. There was no need to fight in a bloody battle with the Zhao army. Hu Jie Tan Yin Three Thousand
The army is here to guard it just as a precaution.
If Feixian Pass is still in the hands of Zhao Jun at this moment, then Hu Jietan will fight to the death and lead three thousand golden wolf cavalry to resist Zhao Qi's advance, but now everything is unnecessary.
…
…
Outside Feixian Pass.
A Beijing temple was built. Together with the sergeants and the people in the pass, more than 11,000 heads were built into a mountain three to four feet high.
Piles of bonfires were lit, and the heavy smell of blood could be smelled three or two miles away from the city.
Flies flew densely, and the buzzing sounds gathered together and spread far and wide.
This tragic scene that makes people shiver is surrounded by the excited and wanton ecstatic laughter of the horsemen.
At the same time, there were many refurbished soil marks on the land outside Feixian Pass. They were all traces of them burying their own corpses. The more than 10,000 corpses of Zhao Minmin with their heads cut off, the Hu people could not even move.
They won't move. Anyway, they are not planning to occupy this city. They will leave at dawn, so there is no need to worry about the epidemic.
"Your Majesty."
Uwetuo welcomed Hu Jie Tan back at the pass.
"More than four thousand wounded soldiers have been transported out of the pass, and I have also sent people to appeal to King Zuoxian. But for safety reasons, we have to hold on at Feixian Pass for one day."
"I obey."
Hu Jietan bowed down to accept the order. He was already Uwe Tuo's left captain.
…
…
It was pitch black all around, and a waning moon in the southeast corner still hung in the sky, but it did not add much brilliance to the earth. The chirping of insects continued, but otherwise it was silent.
There were only a few stars left in the night sky. It was almost dawn, and a cool breeze blew past my face. The glimmering light was the rippling water in the swamp, dimly twinkling under the remaining light of the stars and moon.
Put out some light.
