Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3128: Encounter on a narrow road

The new recruit Erwa was panting heavily and climbed up another big rock using his hands and feet.

He suddenly realized that he was overlooking the mountains.

　　When he was initially assigned to the mountain soldier series, he was quite frustrated.

He is not tall enough and not strong enough, so he cannot act as a sword, shield and axe-hand. At the same time, his shooting ability is relatively average and does not meet the standards of an archer. And the most important thing is that when he is on a horse, he is like a piece of wood. He couldn't adapt to life on horseback, so he could only take the cannon fodder route of the pikemen...

Fortunately, Wei Yan arrived in Chang'an and began to train mountain soldiers in Chang'an. He was selected to join the ranks of mountain soldiers because of his hard soles and his ability to climb mountains quickly.

Because mountain soldiers need to climb mountains and forests for a long time, and there are many branches in the shrub forest, the standard swords, guns and shields provided to mountain soldiers are relatively short and one size smaller in appearance than ordinary soldiers. . Of course, the quality will be better, but Erwa didn't understand it at first, so he felt that he had spent all his energy to become a mountain soldier, but he was holding a smaller sword and gun, which was obviously a loss. …

Now, he doesn’t feel so.

More and more people climbed up, and some veterans were not as relaxed as Erwa.

For example, Lao Ma, panting like a broken bellows, climbed onto the rock and lay down on the spot. After panting for a while, he finally regained some strength. He looked at the second baby sideways and said, "You... broken baby." …Oh, old man, I don’t accept it…I can’t do it…』

Erwa smiled honestly and walked forward again.

The old horse stood up and walked forward.

In front of them was Wei Yan's flag.

That is their general, their emblem...

Wei Yan squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He liked this feeling very much, as if he were a giant on the mountain peak, looking down at the vast land. Everything on the ground became small, and his sight seemed to extend to hundreds of miles away.

Wei Yan looked back and said to the guards around him: "Send the order, when you reach the top of the mountain, find an open place to stop, wait for the people behind, and rest for a quarter of an hour." 』

The guard responded and turned around to deliver the order.

Wei Yan did not follow the direction of Danshui.

Well, this long and flat river is also called Danshui.

Wei Yan was preparing to attack the Ju tribe of Cao Jun at Huguan Pass. Even in Wei Yan's mind, he did not regard Cao Jun's military camp at Huguan as the end of the journey, but just as a relay station.

So Wei Yan went directly up the Dadongcang River, climbed over the ruins of the long-abandoned old pass, and went straight to the Huguan Pass.

This route will be closer than the one taking the direction of Danshui and bypassing Changping Pass, but it is more difficult to walk. After all, you have to go over Guanling, and there is nothing decent about this short section of road over Guanling. Those who have water sources can only look for springs and streams in the mountains to replenish their supplies. Those who are not familiar with the terrain will have trouble finding water sources.

And even after crossing Guanling, you still have to walk a while to find Tao Qinghe...

Therefore, most of the routes, especially those for large armies, have been along Danshui, passing Changping Pass, and then along the Taoqing River and entering the Shangdang Huguan area.

There are not many people walking this road.

But it happened that Wei Yan chose a path that ordinary people did not take.

Wei Yan’s heart is very big.

He remembered that Qianqi Feiqian's attack could not be called a surprise attack if it could be anticipated by the enemy. He felt that it was necessary for him, like Tai Shici, to show those guys in Shandong what it means to be a master of tactical surprise attacks...

Gaoping and Changping are just a small test. At most, it is like hunting a tasteless hare. What we need to kill now is the pheasant that is worthy of spending some effort and thought...

That's right, compared to the hare that has little fat and no flavor at all, Le Jin is like a pheasant with gorgeous wings. Although it may not be very big, both in appearance and inwardness, They all deserve to be treated well…

There are still several mountains to climb before us.

However, this is not difficult.

Wei Yan smiled, gently kicked a small stone under his feet down the mountain, and watched the stone roll down the mountain stream.

The mountain is high.

Anthropogenic peak.

…

Huguan battlefield.

Jia Qu stared at Zhang Ji closely.

Jia Qu agreed to Zhang Ji's request to a limited extent, but he rejected Zhang Ji's night attack plan, and instead planned the attack during the day, so this was not called a sneak attack, but an open attack.

Although Zhang Ji was dissatisfied with Jia Qu's arrangement, his desire for military success and opportunity made him finally agree to Jia Qu's compromise proposal and lead his soldiers out of the pass to attack Cao Jun's camp.

Jia Qu frowned slightly after Zhang Ji led his soldiers and horses and rushed out. Because Jia Qu discovered that he didn’t know whether the soldiers had been defending on the city wall for too long, or for some other reason. After Zhang Ji rushed out with the soldiers, many of his tactical movements were deformed, and the training on weekdays seemed to have changed. I have forgotten a lot, only fierceness remains...

That’s right, the ferocity that appears on the surface.

In a certain respect, both sides are "vicious".

Ferociousness displayed through voice, expression, and body language.

Although Zhang Ji said that Cao's army must be like this, most of the soldiers who defended the city did not understand, so they were actually nervous inside. Therefore, after attacking, they would inevitably have some exaggerated words and deeds to embolden themselves.

But for some reason, Jia Qu felt that the same was true for the Cao soldiers in the Cao army camp.

　　Shouting.

Drinking endlessly.

When he was not engaged in the battle, he screamed so loudly that it was earth-shattering. However, after seeing the blood, his voice became quieter and he stopped shouting...

Cao Jun did not attack, but only rained arrows on Zhang Ji and others on the wall of the military camp.

And the number of arrows was relatively small, which was in line with Zhang Ji's judgment that Cao's army was insufficiently supplied.

I don’t know why, but Jia Qu felt something was wrong...

After paying the price of several casualties, Zhang Ji led his soldiers to the front of the military stronghold and began to attack the gate of Cao's military camp.

　　　Bang! 』

With a loud noise, the gate of Cao Junzhai was finally knocked open.

Zhang Ji took the lead and rushed in, facing a Cao soldier who slashed with his sword. Zhang Ji swung his spear and shot him to death. Then, soldiers rushed up beside Zhang Ji and fought with Cao's soldiers.

Blood splattered, fishy and hot.

The screams were terrible.

Zhang Ji stepped on the chest of Cao Jun's soldier, pulled out his spear, glanced at Cao Jun's camp, and then grinned widely, "It's true!" 』

There were not many soldiers in Cao Jun's camp, and since Zhang Ji launched the attack, there were no decent Cao Jun generals in the camp to stand up and lead the troops to fight back. All this seems to confirm Zhang Ji's previous judgment that Cao's army was exhausted.

Zhang Ji then became even more excited and shouted for a fierce battle. As for the soldiers who followed Zhang Ji and attacked from Huguan, they were gradually stimulated by the blood and became crazy as well. They seemed to be suppressing Cao Jun and fought all the way into the camp...

Jia Qu, who was standing on the wall of the pass, frowned.

Is Cao Jun really that weak?

Did they all really run away and only the remaining soldiers were left?

It is not impossible, but compared with the previous brutal offensive...

This is the reason why bystanders know that Jia Qu insisted on attacking during the day just to have a clear view.

If Zhang Ji had carried out a night attack according to his original plan, no matter how hard Jia Qu tried at Huguan Pass, he could not clearly see the changes in Cao Jun's army in the dark. But now Jia Qu discovered that although Cao Jun's behavior was It is very weak and has low resistance, but there is not much confusion!

No confusion!

　　　　明金! 』

Jia Qu shouted, "Call the gold and withdraw the troops!" 』

The soldiers standing next to Jia Qu were stunned. He didn't understand what Jia Qu was thinking. He just saw Zhang Ji and his men killing Cao Jun in the camp before him. He shouted excitedly, but suddenly he heard Jia Qu say that he wanted to withdraw his troops with gold. Subconsciously, I was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jia Qu had said something wrong. He should have been talking about drumming?

　　　　明金! ” Jia Qu repeated again, his eyes becoming stern.

The soldiers then reacted.

The sound of "ding-dong-dang-dang" sounded on the pass, which aroused the astonishment of many Huguan garrison soldiers. They stopped cheering and turned to look at Jia Qu.

Jia Qu stared closely at the dust stirred up in Cao Jun's camp, clenched his hands, and said, "Get out!" Get out quickly..."

Zhang Ji has obviously gone too deep into Cao Jun's camp, which is not a good thing.

The perspective of standing on level ground is completely different from that of standing on high ground.

Not everyone has a God’s perspective. You can call the mini map at any time to take a look at the surrounding situation, and then turn around the forest and mountains to see if there are any ambushes or something...

Zhang Ji only saw the Cao army's soldiers in front of him constantly retreating, while Jia Qu, who was standing on a higher pass, saw that behind the Cao army's camp, the flags were still intact!

…

Le Jin sat upright, holding a sword in his hand, as if he could not hear anything from the noise in the camp ahead. He is no longer considered a young man.

Following Cao Cao's military career for several years, Le Jin was brave and daring to fight, giving Le Jin the reputation of "loyal and brave".

But this title is earned with one's life.

Some people see Le Jin commanding troops and horses and say the same thing, but who knows that Le Jin has old wounds and new ones, and the pain keeps him awake at night every time the seasons change?

Before marching to Huguan, everyone said that as long as they passed Huguan, they would be as smooth as a mile and achieve success. But who knew the difference between this superficial pass and the real goal of passing Huguan?

He did not want to withdraw his troops.

But we have to withdraw!

It is indeed as Zhao Yan said, if supplies are cut off, the army must withdraw.

If the army can continue to fight without food, that is not called perseverance, that is called death.

Although there are still a few days of food in the military camp, it is obvious that in a few days, there will be no food supply in ten days at most. Will there be supplies within ten days?

Zhao Yan said with certainty, no.

Whether it was sent from Jizhou through Yangchangzaka Road, or sent from Gaoping to Changping through Hanoi, it didn't matter. Even if Le Jin asks for help, he can't make it in time.

Le Jin looked up and saw several big birds flying by in the sky.

It seemed to be an eagle or some kind of eagle, but it was too far away to see clearly.

If you can, Lejin is willing to transform into a bird and gain the freedom to fly, or you can gain a super high vision and see the future direction clearly.

It's a pity that Le Jin can't change, so he can't see the battle situation clearly, let alone the future. He just knows that he must fight like this before evacuating!

Show your authority and morale, otherwise you will be vulnerable to retreat...

Le Jin has seen how Yuan Jun retreated and knows what the soldiers looked like when they retreated.

In his opinion, the battle fought before the evacuation was not to deal with anyone, but to defeat the cowardice and fear in the hearts of the soldiers.

He is like a spider sitting in the middle of the web, waiting for its prey to hit the center of the web...

But at this moment, the sound of gold ringing rang out from the top of the city.

Le Jin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stood up the next moment, drew out his sword with a clang, and shouted angrily, "Kill!" 』

…

When the sound of the golden ring sounded, Zhang Jizheng was in a fighting mood.

His big gun has been held in for a long time, and he is really hungry and thirsty.

In fact, Zhang Ji is not very adaptable to the new war model. He prefers the one used in Xiliang back then.

Charging into battle, killing enemies, beheading generals, and winning, there are not so many twists and turns. This is not to say that Zhang Ji has any objections to Jia Qu, but he doesn't like it. The reason for not liking it is simple, because Zhang Ji is not used to it.

It is very difficult for a person to change a habit that has been maintained for a long time.

Even this habit may not be really good...

It's like someone who is used to eating spicy food, and then a red light lights up in the anus. After it becomes big and round, it is inevitable that they can only eat spicy food, and then they feel that life has suddenly lost its color. Occasionally, you can take a bite, even if it is stained with blood. The danger is also endless joy.

Therefore, although Zhang Ji knew it was safer in Huguan, there was no taste. After fighting out, he smelled the lingering smell of blood in Cao's camp, and only when hot blood splashed on his face did Zhang Ji feel that he He seems to be alive again and full of energy.

Large spears were flying everywhere, mud was covered with flesh and blood, and bodily fluids were flying everywhere.

When Zhang Ji was enjoying himself, he heard the sound of gold ringing from the top of the city...

He shook his head and thought he was hallucinating.

Why should you retreat when you are at your strongest?

Can’t stop!

The huge pleasure and the refreshing pleasure made Zhang Ji forget what Jia Qu had specially asked before he set off.

It’s like before you pick up your phone, you still remember that you will only watch short videos for five minutes. But after you start watching, what?

(⊙_⊙)?What did you want to do just now?

　　　　General! ” The guard shouted loudly, “The king is golden!” 』

Zhang Ji didn't want to hear it. He felt that the momentum was just right now and he could kill a Cao camp in one go and pass through it!

There are not many Cao troops in Cao Jun's camp. Why call for gold and why retreat?

After defeating these Cao troops, it will not be too late to retreat.

　　　　General! "Will..." The guard turned back to the head of Huguan Pass and saw the retreat flag. However, when he turned back to look for Zhang Ji, he saw that Zhang Ji had gone to the front again. He could only be sad. With a sound, he followed up with a knife.

The general did not retreat, and the guards could not do anything. He was about to chase Zhang Ji forward, but he stopped, looked at the other side, his expression suddenly tightened, and he immediately shouted: "Be careful!" There is an ambush! Blow the warning whistle! 』

In the direction the guard looked, there was smoke and dust billowing.

There is a lot of dust on the yellow earth. The slightest movement will cause the dust to fly all over the sky. This is not a problem, but among the dust, there are several bright lights flashing in the smoke...

　　　Beep! Beep beep beep! 』

…

Le Jin has already led his men to surround them.

Before he came to fight Hu Pass, he thought Hu Pass was easy to fight because it was Jia Qu who guarded Hu Pass.

Originally, everything went smoothly.

Until he attacked the military stronghold at Huguan Pass and defeated several strongholds overnight, Le Jin felt that he was sure of victory and that there should be no problem in taking Huguan.

The result is a problem.

The one who caused the problem was still Jia Qu.

He thought Jia Qu was young because he thought it was easy to fight, but now he knew it was difficult to fight. Although Jia Qu was young, he was too cautious.

I don’t know whether it was the originally set strategy or Jia Qu’s own fault. Every part of Huguan’s defense seems to have been arranged and corresponded to it. Even the secrets that were pre-arranged in Huguan were Son, there was no news after Le Jin arrived, and he failed to stir up any waves...

Then everything started to take a turn for the worse.

Perhaps Jia Qu knew that as long as he defended Shangdang Hu Pass, all Cao Jun's strategies would be unable to be used. He could not go up or down, so Jia Qu just did one thing: firmly guarding Hu Pass. , Don't be greedy for merit, don't make rash advances, don't care about your career, don't pay attention to Fukou She County, just guard Huguan, not as stable as a young man, but like an old man in his sixties.

Just holding on to Huguan like this made Le Jin almost collapse.

Whether Le Jin is attacking, tempting, or scolding, Huguan is like a cold stone. He stood there indifferently, and then watched Le Jin hit his head and blood on it.

Le Jin had been very tough with Zhao Yan before, saying that he could keep fighting, but in fact, his heart was bleeding constantly. Over the years, in order to wash away the shame, his army has brought out the elites over and over again, but almost all of them have been wiped clean under the Huguan!

Esaburo, who was as nimble as an ape, died.

Climbed up to Huguan at night, but was discovered by the defenders. When evacuating, he accidentally lost his footing and fell to his death under Huguan.

The great strong man, who was as strong as a bear, also died.

Wearing heavy armor, he led his troops to ascend the city wall first, but was unable to follow up. He was surrounded by dozens of defenders and stabbed to death on the city wall.

Chang Sanshou, who was superb in martial arts and was good at throwing knives, also died.

Le Jin watched helplessly as he and the Huguan garrison rolled together and fell from the top of Huguan City...

Le Jin held the sword tightly and gritted his teeth.

He wants revenge!

Avenging his men is also avenging himself!

Originally Zhao Yan's suggestion was to dig traps to kill him, but Le Jin rejected it.

Now it seems that his veto was right, because the city top actually rang with gold!

If it is really just a big hole dug, then if the enemy general withdraws now, wouldn't he just have to watch?

If the enemy really comes and goes, how can he express the depression in his chest?

He wanted to spit out this bad breath before leaving!

He wants to behead the enemy general with his own hands!

Of course, the risk will be higher in a head-on fight.
