Chapter 1244 This is impossible!

  Just as Shi Bao succeeded in crossing the Danshui by force, he was ready to press on the eldest son at any time.

   Another front of the Han army also made a breakthrough.

   Liu Yin in front of Hangu Pass turned to attack Hangu Old Pass when the attack on the new pass was not going well.

  The Wei army in the old pass guarded in a dangerous place.

  The Weihan Ancient Road is rugged and difficult to navigate, but in the section of Hangu Pass, there are high mountains on both sides, and the pass city is hidden in the Han Road.

  The Han army had no way to expand their formation at all, they could only form a long snake formation and file in file.

  The soldiers walking in the front saw a dozen carts in front of the city gate of Hangu Pass, and the carts were piled high with hay.

   At this moment, the sound of clappers was suddenly heard.

  But I saw figures of people emerging from the high mountains on both sides.

  At the same time, countless rolling logs and stones fell down one after another.

  Fortunately, Liu Yin thought of this a long time ago.

   Only a sharp whistle was heard, and at the same time someone shouted:

   "Lift up!"

  The Han army raised their large shields one after another to cover the top of their heads, and at the same time moved as close as possible to the mountain walls on both sides.

  The rapid response of the Han army avoided heavy casualties.

  However, when rolling logs and rocks fell from a high place, many of them still couldn't stop rolling and bumping after they hit the ground.

"ah!"

   Only a few screams were heard, and finally some unlucky soldiers escaped the falling objects, but they couldn't escape the rolling logs and rocks on the ground.

  Even the comrades around the unlucky guy have heard the sound of "cracking" fractures.

   "Ah! Ah!"

  The injured man couldn't stand upright, and fell directly to the ground, hugging his injured leg, screaming fiercely.

  But seeing his calf, the white bones have been exposed.

   Probably the pain was too severe, and he couldn't hold it back for a while. He rolled on the ground like this, exposing his body all at once.

   "Come back quickly, don't move around!"

   "You guys, quickly drag him back!"

  The colleague next to him was about to reach out to pull it, when there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, followed by a loud "bang".

  A rock hit the chest directly.

   "Uh, ho..."

  The screams stopped immediately.

  The soldiers lying on the ground turned their eyes white, and at the same time, glaring blood froth gushed out of their mouths.

   "Ho **** ho ho..."

  He seemed to want to speak, but couldn't speak.

   Soon, more and more blood scum gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and it seemed to be carrying some small objects.

   Judging by his reaction, it was obvious that his lungs had been smashed.

  Stretched out to help his fellow robe, was stunned for a long time, and then withdrew his hand a little guilty.

  Because there is no need to save it!

  Even if it is the ancestor of the military Chinese medicine engineer, I am afraid that he has to be carried to the medical school to have a chance or two.

   I don’t know how long it took, and I don’t know whether the Wei thief had finished throwing away the rolling wood and stones prepared by the Wei thief, or seeing that the Han army could not cause too many casualties, the wood and stones finally began to become sparse.

"superior!"

   "Big man, stand in front, move those straw carts!"

  The Han army had just taken action again, and suddenly there was another abnormality ahead.

   I don't know when, a thick smoke began to fill the air.

   Those with sharp eyes quickly reported: "General, the thief set the straw cart on fire!"

  The special terrain of the valley prevents the thick smoke from drifting away in time.

   Seeing the smoke getting thicker and thicker, the vision was greatly hindered.

  At this time, only the sound of beating drums and shouts of killing suddenly came from the front.

   "Not good, the thief may be rushing over!"

   Fortunately, the Tiger Infantry Army is an elite soldier. Although it has been reorganized and reorganized, and some recruits have been added, the foundation is still there.

  The front-line generals are extremely experienced, so they made a decisive decision and immediately ordered:

   "Shoot the arrow!"

   "Puffy!"

  …

  Although the arrows were released in a hurry, it was within the foreseeable range.

   The number of arrow feathers shot out is not much, but at least it can deter and delay, and buy a little time for the comrades in the rear.

  Experienced soldiers understand one thing, life and death on the battlefield is often just a little bit of time.

   The first wave of fletchers does seem to have worked.

   Wei Jun behind the thick smoke did not rush out.

   "Fix the formation! Hurry up and complete the formation!"

   "Vertical!"

   "Keep playing! The next one, quickly connect!"

  After a little confusion, the Han army at the front quickly organized a defensive formation.

   But as the smoke continued to spread, their figures also disappeared into the white smoke.

  The Han army in the rear only heard the sound of war drums and shouts of killing, and someone in front of them kept shouting "shooting arrows" and "forming formation", but they couldn't see what happened at all.

"What happened?"

   "Quick, ask what happened ahead!"

  The mountain road is already narrow, and the Han army is crowded inside, so there is no way to quickly pass the news from the front.

   Coupled with the wood and rocks that Wei Jun smashed down from the mountains on both sides, it made the mountain road that was already difficult to walk even more difficult.

   It is difficult for the messengers to communicate, and the message is naturally not conveyed smoothly.

   "General, the situation ahead is unknown, and it is very likely that they were ambushed by thieves."

  When they learned that the life and death of the soldiers at the front were unknown, some people persuaded them:

   "The thieves have set up ambushes on the mountains on both sides. It is obvious that they have been prepared for a long time."

   "This road is even more difficult than the new pass in the north. If you don't want to make money, let the soldiers withdraw first and make a long-term plan."

  Binoculars can see far, but not see through.

  Liu Yin put down the binoculars helplessly, looked at the smoky mountain road, and heard the faint shouts of killing coming from ahead, his face became a little gloomy.

   "Retreat?" Liu Yin pointed forward, with anger in his eyes, "How to retreat? Tell me, how to retreat in this situation?"

   "Do you believe it or not? As long as there is gold, the soldiers in the mountain road will not die at the hands of thieves, but will be trampled to death by their own people!"

  Such a narrow mountain road, as long as there is a little carelessness, once there is chaos, it will only cause trampling.

   At that time, the thieves can just follow behind and harvest.

   "Then what should we do?" Left and right seemed to know that they had lost their minds, but the situation in front of them made people worry.

   "Order, let the soldiers stand in place to defend against the enemy."

  At this moment, Liu Yin can only trust the soldiers of the Tiger Army.

  Especially those middle and low-level generals and schools, I hope they have enough ability to organize the people under them to deal with the unexpected situation in front of them.

   "Regardless of the prime minister or the Central Guard, they have always attached great importance to the training of soldiers, and they are indeed far-sighted."

  Liu Yin clenched the telescope in her hand and said silently in her heart.

  He took a deep breath and looked up at the hills to the south.

  There was still a dead silence, without any movement.

   "Cough cough cough!"

   "Ahem..."

  The soldiers who were the first to come into contact with the thick smoke were already coughing from choking.

  The mouth and nose are full of spicy taste, and the eyes are a little uncomfortable, and they start to shed tears.

"what to do?"

   "I don't know, is there a military order coming from behind?"

   "At this time, you can't see people face to face, how can you pass it on?"

   "Where's the golden drum? Has anyone heard it?"

"No."

   "We didn't hear Ming Jin, I'm afraid we can't go back, otherwise, we violated the military law."

  Fleeing in battle is a capital offense.

   "Then you can't be stuck here forever, right? Instead of being killed by the thief, you will be smoked to death instead!"

   "No, we have to find a way to rush to the front, so that those thieves who set the fire can't continue to burn like this."

   "Lest there are thieves in ambush."

   "Arbitrarily withdrawing is a capital offense. If you stick to it, you will be smoked to death sooner or later. It is better to risk your life. Even if you die, you can get more compensation."

  The predicament in front of them has completely inspired the ferocity of these generals.

   This is the difference between elite soldiers who have seen countless lives and deaths and ordinary soldiers.

   Replaced by the Wuwei Army and the Wuqian Army who have not yet experienced actual combat, and the recruits account for a relatively large proportion. I am afraid that the front troops have already begun to become chaotic.

   Instead of the Tuchen Army who already had some actual combat experience, even if someone proposed this plan, I am afraid there is no way to organize enough manpower to counterattack in such a short period of time.

  This is only possible with the Wudang Army and the Tiger Army.

   "Who wants to go with me?"

   "I am the captain, I will take the lead, you guys take your people, follow me!"

   "Lieutenant, among the people we can find right now, you are the biggest one. You should continue to organize the manpower here, let me lead people up first!"

  …

   Time is short, and arguing and giving in are a waste of time.

  Several people quickly reached a consensus, and the temporarily organized two hundred daredevils were divided into two teams, the front and the back.

  Leaded by two military marquises respectively, enduring the choking smoke, they began to touch forward based on memory.

   "Cough cough cough!"

  The lieutenant asked the people around him to continue looking for the commander of the military marquis who could be found, while listening to the voice ahead.

   It's just the thieves' loud drumming and shouting, which never stops.

   It made it impossible for him to tell whether he was in contact with the enemy or not.

   Just when the Han army was in a dilemma, General Wei at Hangu Pass was laughing.

  The soldiers below are beating drums and shouting loudly, but no one is moving forward.

  Because this is just a trick to confuse the pirates.

  Throwing rolling wood and lightning stones on the mountains on both sides earlier was intended to let the thieves know that an ambush had been set up at this old pass.

  Then lit up thick smoke, so that the thieves could not see the situation ahead, they only thought that there must be an ambush ahead.

  Suddenly ambushed, and their vision was blocked like blind eyes, most of the sergeants would only panic, like headless flies.

  The reason why camp screams are prone to occur at night is because many soldiers in the army are blindfolded and become blind at night.

  If there is a little confusion, or if it is attacked by the enemy, it is easy to blow up the camp.

  Because the blind man doesn't know where the enemy is or when it will appear by his side.

  Even if the thieves on the opposite side were well-trained, they would definitely not dare to move forward rashly in such a thick smoke. They could only be trapped in the thick smoke for life and had to retreat in the end.

   Sure enough, the western thief would just keep shooting arrows, without realizing that there was no ambush in front of him at all.

   "Send the order down, let them continue to burn, and make the smoke as big as possible!"

   "Here!"

  Although it would be cooler in the valley, because Wei Jun was going to set fire to the hay cart, under the smoke of the fireworks, everyone was only wearing single clothes, still sweating profusely.

  Some people even took off their clothes for convenience, and only wore a small-nosed jacket.

  Thick smoke blocked the line of sight of the Han army, and also blocked the vision of the Wei army.

The Wei army in front of the    pass did not realize that there was a Han army of a hundred men struggling to advance.

  The two sides are already close and are about to touch.

   "There seems to be a sound ahead?"

   "It's the fire, the thief is likely to be ahead."

   "What to do? The fire is in the front."

   "It's not a big fire, don't be afraid, just rush over!"

  Different from Shi Bao who forcibly crosses Danshui, soldiers dare not wear iron armor.

   This group of daredevils are all heavily armored.

   As long as you rush fast enough, the fire won't kill them in a while.

  Besides, if you want to make the haystack emit thick smoke, it is impossible to directly light the fire, but to hold the fire and burn it slowly.

   "Don't worry, go a little further..."

   "Send the order to go down, prepare to charge!"

  A shirtless Wei Bing was holding a large bundle of semi-wet withered grass, and was about to throw it into the smoky charcoal fire.

  Inadvertently, his eyes seemed to see a figure on the opposite side. He thought he was dazzled and was about to fix his eyes and see more clearly.

  At this moment, someone shouted: "Kill!"

   A group of fierce soldiers, like desperate lunatics, raised their weapons and rushed directly towards this side from the other side of the fire.

   They kicked over the burning haystack, sending sparks flying.

  The flames fell on them, and they didn't seem to feel it at all.

  All of them have red eyes, like evil spirits crawling out of the underworld, wanting to pounce on people and devour them.

  No way, I stayed in the smoke for too long, my tears kept flowing, how could my eyes not be red?

   Not to mention seeing the arsonist who caused him to suffer such a great crime, even if he didn't shed tears, his eyes would still be red.

  Two teams of dead soldiers, two hundred men in armor, rushed over from the side of the fire, one in front and one behind.

  Facing Wei soldiers who did not hold weapons, did not wear armor, had only single clothes, even shirtless, and only half-dried and half-wet withered grass in their hands.

   It was a one-sided massacre.

  Wei Bing never dreamed that the Han army on the opposite side would appear in such a situation, which made them unprepared.

   "Poof!"

  A head flew straight into the sky, and blood spurted out.

   This knife was clenching his teeth and cutting down with all his strength.

   Cao!

   Eat your grandpa with a knife!

   Several Wei soldiers died on the spot, and the Wei soldiers behind them just woke up like a dream, shouted, threw the dry grass in their arms, turned around and ran away!

   "The Han army is coming, the Han army is coming!"

   There was chaos in front of the gate of the city.

   "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"

   Wei Bing, who ran back first, shouted like crazy:

   "Quick! The Han army, it's the Han army, the Han army is coming!"

   "Han army? Where did the Han army come from?"

   Originally guarding the city gate, Wei Bing, who was envious of his comrades who could play with fire, was shocked and even panicked.

   "Come here, they're coming!"

   "Quickly close the city gate!"

   "There are still our people outside!"

   "Go and tell the general!"

   Standing at the top of the city and watching the excitement, General Wei also felt something was wrong.

   "What's going on? What's going on in front? Send someone down to ask!"

  Before the sender reported back, the city gate sent someone over:

   "General, it's not good! Han, the bandit army is coming, and it's down to the city!"

   "How is it possible! Did they fly over?"

   General Wei stared wide-eyed, asked in disbelief, and then hurriedly asked:

   "Where is the city gate? Is the city gate closed?"

   "The thieves have not yet reached the city gate, and we still have people outside..."

   "The city gate is more important than the people outside!" General Wei didn't wait for the people below to finish speaking, he kicked over and cursed, "Quickly close the city gate!"

  Thanks to the thick smoke, the Han army who forcibly rushed through the fire was killing people in the haystack to vent their anger. With their sight blocked, they couldn't see the gate of Guancheng not far away was open.

   This gave Wei Jun the opportunity to close the city gate.

   General Wei was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly there was a "poof" like a broken leather falling to the ground.

  Following the sound, I saw a pile of things that I couldn't see clearly, falling on the top of the city.

  Red, white, all mixed together.

  Wei Jiang tried his best to identify it for a long time, only to realize that it turned out to be a mass of corpses.

  Looking at the body of the corpse, it seems that the clothes are exactly the same as those of the sergeant in his army?

  The alarm sounded in his heart, and he raised his head subconsciously:

   "How can there be corpses in the sky?"

  Smoke curled up, blocking his vision, making him unable to see what happened above Guancheng.

   Soon, another corpse fell down.

   Immediately after that, there are weapons...

"not good!"

  Wei Jiang's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "This is impossible!"

  In the fourth year of the Yanxi reign of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei smuggled into Chousangyuan and came to the top of the old Hangu Pass, like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

   directly frightened the courage of the Wei army in the pass city.

  The Han army finally captured Guancheng.
