Chapter 822: Inside Suzaku Pass, Pear Flower Ximu(1/2)
It was almost noon, and on the official road with the scorching sun, five thousand elite cavalry rushed past, like a huge earth dragon, and a large flag with the word "Qin" fluttered in the wind.
Shan Ximu took the lead with a calm expression, and Luo Tong, who was slightly behind half a horse's head, was on the side.
Behind the two were Dou Yihu, Luo Zhang and the two brothers Qin and Ying who were also riding horses and following each other.
"Brother Shan, what do you mean by Li Luanhu? We asked us to take the lead and just brought five thousand cavalry. How do these cavalry attack the city?" Luo Zhang said depressed and helplessly.
Qin Ying frowned slightly on the side: "I see, he is clearly making things difficult for us!"
"I just want us to help investigate the enemy situation. If we hadn't attacked Qinglong Pass before, if we hadn't killed Zhao Dapeng, we would have been punished by the military. This time, the attack on Zhuque Pass would probably not be as lucky as last time," Dou Yihu said with gritted teeth.
Luo Tong frowned as he heard this: "Okay, don't talk nonsense!"
"It's useless to complain! What we have to do now is to take advantage of the other party's inability to take advantage of the situation and take down Zhuque Pass in one fell swoop," Shan Ximu said in a deep voice with a sharp look: "Save some energy! Noon is coming, and we are about to arrive at Zhuque Pass. This is a good time. The soldiers of Xiliang who are closing the guards should be a little lazy. At that time, you can follow me to kill Shangguan City, open the city gate, and enter the pass."
Dou Yihu and others looked at each other, and their eyes became hot and nodded fiercely.
"Ximu, isn't this a bit too risky?" Luo Tong hesitated.
He looked at Shan Ximu who looked at Luo Tong, and said calmly: "General Luo. I can kill Shangguan City with Yihu. At that time, you can wait outside the gate to open and rush in, and you can naturally easily occupy Zhuque Pass."
Luo Tong, who was choked by Shan Ximu's words, nodded silently.
In a small woods several miles away from Zhuque Pass, with the order from Shan Ximu, thousands of tired spirit riders galloped along the way, and began to stop and drink water and eat the dry food they carried with them.
"Brother Shan, why didn't you take the Zhuque Pass in one go? It's very dangerous to stop here to rest!" Luo Zhang came to Shan Ximu's side and handed him the water bag in his hand.
Shan Ximu took the water bag and drank it, then threw it back to him and turned around and left.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang couldn't help but feel depressed: "Am I wrong?"
"Don't talk about war on paper!" Dou Yihu walked over and looked at Luo Zhang angrily: "I ran on a horse all morning and were exhausted. Should I go to war or die? The war depends on the actual situation. We cannot take it too naturally."
Luo Zhang curled his lips slightly when he heard this, and looked at Dou Yihu's torn clothes with patches, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Brother Yihu, you are...."
"It's daytime. Do you think my elder brother and I can ride a horse in military uniform to get close to Zhuque Pass? Then, didn't the defenders at Zhuque Pass recognize our identities early and be prepared?" Dou Yihu said, slapped Luo Zhang on the shoulder and turned around and left: "I'll take the lead!"
Seeing Dou Yihu leaving, Luo Zhang, who was slightly aware of the situation, saw Qin Ying dressed in an ordinary Western Liang soldier walking over with a set of Western Liang soldier armor and throwing it in front of Luo Zhang: "Switch it!"
"Fake a pass? The two of us?" Luo Zhang was slightly stunned and pointed at himself in shock.
Qin Ying said a little funny: "How many more do we need to dress up as scouts who send military affairs?"
After a cup of tea, Qin Ying and Luo Zhang, who were dressed as scouts of Xiliang, rode their horses along the official road and ran towards Zhuque Pass. Soon, the two riders arrived outside Zhuque Pass.
"Who?" Zhuque closed the door. A small school frowned and looked outside the pass and shouted.
Qin Ying quickly coughed lightly and imitated the accent of the people of Xiliang and shouted: "Brother, we are from Qinglong Pass. There is an emergency military report. Please open the Guancheng quickly and let us in."
"Wait a minute!" The little school pondered for a moment and nodded and shouted: "Put down the suspension bridge and let them come!"
Seeing the suspension bridge slowly lowering, Luo Zhang and Qin Ying, who looked at each other, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They waited happily for the suspension bridge to be completely lowered before riding their horses across the suspension bridge and arrived at the gate.
"Hey, why haven't you opened the door to close?" Looking at the door that was still closed, Luo Zhang couldn't help but frown and raised his head and shouted.
Luo Zhang's voice immediately changed his expression slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Pick up the suspension bridge, archers are ready!"
"Hmm?" Luo Zhang's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Qin Ying, who was standing beside her, frowned and said speechlessly: "What are you anxious about? I'm in trouble. He must have heard that your accent is wrong. This guy is much more cunning and cautious than we thought."
"Two brothers, don't be surprised! The Lord of the Pass has strict orders, and the door must not be opened. So, please sit here and my brothers, and pull you up!" The school said as he asked the soldiers to put down two hanging baskets.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang's expression changed slightly: "What should I do? If he really sees it, if he suddenly throws us down halfway through, it will be troublesome."
"Don't hesitate! Go! Otherwise it will be really exposed," Qin Ying, who shouted in a deep voice, turned over and dismounted, walked towards one of the hanging baskets, got on the hanging basket and shouted to the top: "Okay, pull it!"
Seeing this, the school looked slightly slower. When he saw Luo Zhang, he simply got off the other hanging basket, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers next to him to pull the hanging basket up with force.
The hanging basket was about halfway, and under the warning of the cautious school, the soldiers next to them were obviously slowing down.
Luo Zhang and Qin Ying, who were looking at each other, couldn't help but feel a hint of anxiety and worry flashed in their eyes.
At this moment, with a faint vibration, the little school suddenly looked up, looking at the smoke and dust rising from the official road in the distance and the Tang army cavalry vaguely visible in the rolling smoke and dust, and shouted with a big change: "The Tang army is coming, I'll call the gold to warn! Hurry, they are spies, throw them down!"
"Not good!" Luo Zhang and Qin Ying, who felt the hanging basket suddenly fall down, almost at the same time, took out a dagger and inserted it into the city wall and hung it on the city wall. Then they leaped up flexibly, stepped on the dagger and leveraged the force again, holding a long spear in their hands, pounced towards Guancheng like a big roc spreading their wings.
Seeing this, the school couldn't help but stare and yelled: "Brothers, shoot them to death!"
A hissing sound rang out, and arrows shrouded Luo Zhang and Qin Ying.
Kneel...scratch...the two people who were blocking the spear in their hands were slid, and they leaped on Guancheng with a slight delay. The spear in their hands was spilled and blood was spilled. Several soldiers were swept across their necks and cut their throats. The tip of the spear was swept across their necks and their throats fell to the ground.
"Kill!" The young school gritted his teeth and rushed towards the two of them with a scimitar in his hand.
The other Xiliang soldiers were also infected and rushed towards the two of them fearlessly.
There was a shout of killing in the city of Guan City, and the loud and harsh sound of gold also instantly spread throughout Zhuque Pass.
There was a rustling sound of water. In the moat below, a phantom flew away. It was Dou Yihu holding a golden stick and wearing patched clothes.
Hissing... Two golden stick shadows flashed. The chains on the suspension bridge broke and the suspension bridge fell down with a bang.
After doing this, he looked back at the Tang army cavalry who was killing over, and then Dou Yihu flashed and rushed towards the lock.
"Drive it for me!" Qin Han, who was in the lead, rode his horse across the suspension bridge and came directly to the gate of Guancheng. He swung the hammer in his hand and smashed it on the gate of Guancheng. There was a loud bang, and the entire Guancheng trembled. Then the thick closed door broke and collapsed, shaking and falling into the gate.
"Kill!" Qin Han, who had a slight salvo, rushed in along the door that opened and closed.
"Kill!" Then the elite cavalry of the Tang army, who were riding horses, rushed in with their spears in their hands.
At this moment, the master of the guarding pass in Zhuque Pass turned his head and was greeting his niece Fan Lihua who came from Baihu Pass, accompanied by Deputy General Zhu Tou. He was chatting and laughing.
Speaking of which, Fan Lihua and Master Rentou are still related, so she should call Master Rentou to call him uncle.
Speaking of which, when Fan Lihua was at Baihu Pass, she also heard about the military situation in front of her. She knew that Fan Long and Fan Hu surrendered to the Tang army. After the Tang army changed to the marshal, the soldiers quickly entered Qinglong Pass and were blocked by Zhu Dingxian's Red Cloud Formation. Fan Lihua really couldn't stay in Baihu Pass, so she came to Zhuque Pass to explore the situation and visited the master who turned his head.
"Uncle, niece heard that the Tang army is now out of power and the troops are advancing quickly. She will soon attack Zhuque Pass. I wonder if this is the case?" After some greetings, Fan Lihua finally asked with a little curiosity.
When the master turned his head, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Girl, this is your purpose in coming to me, right?"
"Forget it, it's not a secret military situation, it's okay to tell you!" Seeing Fan Lihua's slightly embarrassed look, the ancestor turned his head and said, "The Tang army did advance to Qinglong Pass, and I even just received the news that the general of Qinglong Pass was killed in the night attack of the Tang camp. However, Zhao Dapeng's teacher Zhu Dingxian set up the Red Cloud Formation outside Qinglong Pass. It was not that easy for the Tang army to break the Red Cloud Formation."
Ding... A harsh sound of gold suddenly sounded, causing the master to turn his head to stand up suddenly.
Zhu Tu, the deputy general who was accompanying him below, also changed his expression and stood up and shouted out: "What's going on?"
"Uncle, it seems that the Tang army is coming!" Fan Lihua also stood up and frowned in surprise.
The master turned his head and shouted with a slightly solemn expression: "Come here, go and investigate quickly!"
"Pear! There is a change in Guanzhong, and my uncle can't entertain you anymore," said the ancestor, turning his head and apologizing to Fan Lihua.
Turning his head, as soon as the ancestor finished speaking, a small school outside ran in a embarrassed manner and hurriedly shouted: "Zuan, general, no, the Tang army is coming into the pass!"
"What?" The master turned his head and glared at him and said in disbelief: "What? What are you doing for? How could you let the Tang army attack the pass? Zhu Tu, you pig's head, why don't you go and lead troops to defend the enemy!"
The deputy general Zhutou suddenly became stupid. When he heard the almost roaring shout of the ancestor turned his head, he felt a shiver and called the school, and ran away first.
"The Tang army actually broke through Qinglong Pass and came to my Zhuque Pass. How could it be so fast?" Seeing Zhu Tu leave, the ancestor turned his head and cursed in disbelief: "Damn it, it's like a divine help!"
Seeing this, Fan Lihua couldn't help but feel helpless: "Uncle, the shouts of killing in the pass are getting louder and louder. It's obvious that the Tang army has already entered the pass. Let's go out to help first! Otherwise, Deputy Zhu would probably be in danger. In this situation, Zhuque Pass cannot be protected."
"Hmph! When I go and kill him a few Tang generals, the Tang army has no leader. I see how he occupy my pass," the ancestor turned his head coldly, but he refused to admit defeat and disappeared.
Fan Lihua, who shook her head slightly, also took out a white leather mask and put it on her face to cover the upper half of her face. Her figure moved and then left.
At this moment, the elite cavalry of the Tang army rushed all the way under the leadership of Qin and Han dynasties. Wherever they passed, the Xiliang infantry had no power to fight at all. They were all strangled and were about to come to the mansion of the master who turned his head to the head.
"Brothers, let me kill you!" Zhu Tu came up with hundreds of elite soldiers as he shouted.
Seeing Zhu Tu's armor representing the deputy general of the Xiliang Army, Qin Han, with his eyes narrowed, he took the lead in meeting Zhu Tu. The sledgehammer in his hand hit hard.
Peng... A dull golden iron attack sounded, and the sword in his hand flew out. Zhu Tu, whose tiger mouth was shattered, flew backwards in a mess, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He fell to the ground with a pale face and seriously injured. Faced with a fierce attack from the Qin and Han people, Zhu Tu was not a general of one-way!
"Bold General Tang, eat my sword!" An angry shout sounded, and the great master was already walking on the roof not far away like a wind, and his sharp sword was directly at Qin Han's head.
Qin Han, whose face changed slightly, didn't bother to take advantage of the situation to deal with Zhu Tu. The black hammer in his hand was blocked. With a "kneel" sound of gold and iron attack, he saw the sharp sword light slid in from the side like a vicious poisonous snake. The tip of the sword was straight into his throat.
"Not good!" Qin Han, who was shocked and discolored, barely leaned back. The hammer in his hand was lifted up, and he still felt a chill on his neck. A stinging sensation came, which made Qin Han stop his horse's eyes tight and lifted up. He slid his body down to the ground, and he quickly retreated on the ground under his feet.
While retreating, Qin Han, who was almost conditioned and conditioned, blocked the sword that turned his head and followed him, and then he did not hesitate to do so again.
"Huh? Good boy, good reaction!" The ancestor turned his head in surprise, and his figure stopped. Looking at Qin Han, who looked slightly pale, had cold sweat on his forehead, and a small wound on his neck, and asked coldly with a raised eyebrows: "Are you a disciple of the ancestor Wang Chan?"
Qin Han took a deep breath and looked at the master turning his head with a serious expression: "That's right! Compared to you, you are the master turning his head? I have heard the master's name for a long time. When I see him today, the master is indeed amazing."
"Awesome?" The master turned his head and narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Boy, I was easily attacked by you, a junior, and said I am awesome. You are laughing at me, right?"
Qin Han hurriedly said, "I don't dare! But the ancestor was able to kill me, so why did he show mercy?"
"So what can I kill you? If I kill you, I am afraid that the soldiers in my pass will be massacred by you?" The master turned his head and shook his head and asked, "Boy! Today I won't kill you for the sake of Wang Chan. However, if you dare to kill more soldiers in Guanzhong, I will not forgive you."
After saying that, the master turned his head and shouted to the soldiers on both sides who were still fighting on the surrounding streets: "Stop it all!"
Both sides stopped subconsciously, and the soldiers of Xiliang slowly retreated. The Tang army that reacted was about to chase after him, and Qin Han's voice suddenly rang: "Stop!"
"Boy, this time, I'm a failure! But we have the chance to meet again," said the master, and turned his head and looked at Fan Lihua who had appeared aside at some point. He said softly: "Lihua, let's go!"
He looked at the back of the master who turned his head with a frown. Qin Han, who was slightly hesitant, still did not give any orders to block it.
However, Fan Lihua nodded slightly and was about to leave with the Niutou Master, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Let's wait!"
"Huh?" He turned his head and the ancestor, turned to look at Shan Ximu, who was leading his troops in the distance.
