Chapter 235 Yanmen War
Ten days later, it was early morning, and Dongfang had just had a little white belly.
In the city gate of Yanmen Pass, many people were pushing various vehicles into the city gate.
"This prefect is so ruthless. Why did we get so hurrying? We harvested food overnight a few days in advance and sent soldiers to help us harvest together. We gathered and hurriedly taught us to retreat into the pass. Could it be that the Xianbei will attack in advance this year?"
"Hey, you care about so many things. Lord Liu is a rare good official. He told us to withdraw, so let's withdraw."
"This Xianbei came inexplicably early last year, and this year may be the same. Lord Liu is calling Wei... What rain is coming... In short, it's just to prepare in advance, that's right."
"Old Li, you can't read a lot of big words. You have to learn from others' sarcastic writing. Isn't you showing your timidity this time?"
"Go to you! You don't have this chance yet."
Just in a small alley inside the pass, several figures were watching everything at the city gate.
"Liu He suddenly called on the people to collect food overnight, and retreated into the pass six or seven days earlier than normal. Now he can fully defend Yanmen Pass and avoid fighting in the wild. What should he do?"
"What do you care about these things? Our task is to ensure that the city gate is open today. Now they open the city gate by themselves and let the people in, which saves our efforts. I see that so many people will have to at least take a while to retreat into the pass. We will guard here. If they want to close the city gate in the future and we have not received a signal of retreat, then we will find a way to delay their closing time."
These people just hid in a corner like this. When Yanmen Pass is so busy now, no one will notice them, at least they think so.
However, what they never dreamed was that on a guard platform in the city not far away, there seemed to be no one on it at first glance, but when they looked closely, they could find that a pair of eyes were staring at the locations where these fine works were located through a small hole in the guardrail of the platform.
Liu He and others personally directed and escorted the people into the city inside and outside the city gate.
Gradually, Liu He seemed to feel something was wrong.
"Mingway, do you feel that the ground seems to be shaking?"
Zhang Yong stopped the work in his hand and felt it carefully.
"If my brother didn't say it, he didn't think it was really shocking when he mentioned it like this. Could it be that the Earth Dragon turned over?"
Liu He shook his head: "No, I think..."
At this moment, I could hear a very loud horn sound suddenly blowing from the city wall above.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Zhang Yong's expression changed drastically: "This is the big horn of the enemy's attack! It must be the Xianbei who came!"
"Hurry! Leave a group of soldiers and take the people into the pass as soon as possible. Brothers, follow me to the city tower!
Kuitou, who was galloping in the distance, looked at the Yanmen Pass city tower that was looming in front of him, but was overjoyed.
"Haha, that secret report is true! Seeing that so many people at the gate of the city are rushing into the gate, the city gate must be wide open at this time! Men, follow me to rush into Yanmen Pass. The wealth in the gate is far beyond the comparison of the counties in the north. Let's take advantage of our previous shame this time!"
The Xianbei cavalry quickly approached the city gate, and the trembling of the earth became more and more obvious. The nearly crazy shouts of Xianbei people were getting closer and closer. They scared the people who were still outside Yanmen Pass to panic, and many people fell to the ground.
"Don't panic, we are here, we will definitely protect everyone!"
The soldiers of the Anmin Army shouted, and at the same time stabilized the order and guided the people into the city.
Liu He and others looked from a distance from the city gate and saw that the Xianbei cavalry was vast and the number was far greater than last time.
"Kuitou is probably really angry this time. I think the cavalry he brought this time is as many as 70,000 to 80,000. We must not fight hard, otherwise even if we can repel them, we will win as badly as last time. Our army cannot withstand the second large-scale damage. After all, there are more than Xianbei enemies around us."
Zhang Yong clenched his fists and said with concern.
Liu He nodded: "Well, this time we must defend the danger and minimize the losses. General Gao!"
"exist!"
"Thank you for a hard time, General Gao led 5,000 Hanwu soldiers from the headquarters to leave the city to block the enemy's army, and must support them until all the people enter the city!"
"rest assured!"
Gao Shun turned around and went down the city tower.
"Ye Xiang!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You lead the Shenji Camp in our headquarters to support you in the rear of the Hanwu soldiers!"
"Here!"
"Guan Yu!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You lead the 5,000 purple gold dragon cavalry in our headquarters, and attack at any time depending on the situation of the battle, and assist General Gao in blocking the attack!"
"Here!"
"Others follow me, pay attention to the situation here, and are ready to fight at any time!"
"Here!"
Kuitou led the army and had arrived at a place only two or three miles away from Yanmen Pass. Suddenly, a team of troops covered in black clothes and black shields emerged from the city gate.
"What kind of troops is this? During the war a few months ago, I haven't seen the Yanmen defender have such troops!"
Kuitou was very puzzled.
At this time, a man beside him shouted: "Look, leader, isn't that the commander of the Han reinforcements that suddenly appeared in the last war!"
Kuitou looked carefully and found that Gao Shun looked very familiar.
"It's him. This guy has good martial arts skills, but his ability to command troops is really good. Be careful, this army is afraid of fraud!"
The man around him said disdainfully: "Chief, don't panic. Look at the troops brought out by this man are only four or five thousand. Although it is a bit strange, with just these few people, even if they are all top-notch people, how can they stand by the impact of more than 70,000 cavalry in our army? As long as you rush over with one go, you will definitely be able to step on them into powder!"
Kuitou thought about it and seemed to feel it was reasonable.
"Well, right. The reason why the last war failed was that it was ultimately because it did not exert its advantage in the cavalry charge of our Xianbei men. I think they also set up a suspicion array this time and wanted to trick us into stopping and watching, which weakened the cavalry's rushing forward. Everyone should not be fooled, speed up and rush forward, so that they can see the real power of our Xianbei cavalry!"
"Oh Lulu..."
More than 70,000 Xianbei cavalrymen, one by one, was as powerful as a wolf or a tiger, and they soared into the sky.
Outside the Yanmen Pass city gate, there are mountains on both sides. A small path at the entrance is in the shape of a large trumpet. The closer it is to the pass, the narrower it is. The position in front of the pass is only about thirty feet wide.
Gao Shun led his army to more than a hundred stairs outside the pass, and then he lined up 2,500 soldiers with heavy shields, and soldiers with spears stood behind him.
"Design the formation!"
Gao Shun ordered, heavy shields, which were nearly one person high, hit the ground with a sound of "dongdongdongdong" and hit the ground. The weight of the shield itself, coupled with the force of the soldiers, made the lower edge of the shield poke into the surface a small part. The soldiers turned down the brackets on both sides of the shield and pushed them into the soil, and then pressed them tightly against the back of the shield with their bodies.
Two thousand five hundred black heavy shields are connected and connected together, like a new Great Wall, standing in front of Yanmen Pass.
Kuitou was a little puzzled.
"What the hell is it? With these shields, I tried to stop the pace of my 70,000 army. It's ridiculous! Erlang, rush him away!"
The 70,000 Xianbei army was overwhelming and howling!
Chapter completed!
