Chapter 83 Fighting for Emergency Site

In the melee, the most excited people were Zhao Guanghan and Han Ye. They were indeed rare and powerful men.

Looking at the two people, Zhang Yue couldn't help but think of the descriptions of Qin Jun he had seen in the past.

"The Qin people donated their armor and clothing to the enemy, grabbing heads on the left and captives on the right. The soldiers of Qin were compared to the soldiers of Shandong, just like Meng Ben was compared to cowards; the weight of the force pressed against them was like the wuzhuo and the babies.

In the battle with Meng Ben, the soldiers who were captured in vain to attack a weak and unyielding country are no different than falling with the weight of a thousand pieces, gathering them on a bird's egg, and they will be unlucky."

There are no surprises on the battlefield at the camp. The key now is whether Mark's troops can complete the mission.

Judging from the situation during these days, the leader of the Huns this time was obviously a wise man.

Now when the Han army was chasing the Shanguo people, their formation was in chaos. If the Huns took advantage of the situation to attack, the Han army would not be able to resist the Huns' attack.

To be honest, Zhang Yue feels a little regretful now. The number of soldiers he sent to Mark was too few. He should have at least added one more camp. Now he can only try to make up for it.

At this time, it was Pan Hong's department who maintained the most complete organizational structure.

They had just been formed, so their training was a little poorer, and their attack speed was a little slower.

This shortcoming has now turned into an advantage. Now they are the only ones who can reinforce Mark as quickly as possible.

Zhang Yue immediately sent an order to Pan Hong, asking him to reinforce Mark as quickly as possible.

Pan Hong, who received the order, also knew the importance of the task and immediately summoned his brothers to rush for rescue.

On the other side, after Mark saw a fire burning in the direction of the camp, he immediately launched a raid on the Shanguo Pass.

The pass of Shanguo is indeed a dangerous road. If we attack from the front, it will be difficult to conquer without ten times the military strength.

It is no wonder that Li Guangli gave up attacking Shanguo two years ago.

But this time, due to the greed of the Shanguo people, most of the soldiers in the gate were transferred away.

Now there are only about thirty people left in the entire pass. And most of these thirty soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Under the sneak attack of the Han army, the Shanguo soldiers on the pass had no time to react, and the pass was captured by Mark.

The remaining Shanguo people tried to fight back, but they were no match for the Han army. They just lost their lives in vain.

Although the pass was successfully taken, Mark was not smiling at all. It was not difficult to take the pass, but how to hold it was difficult.

Standing on the archery tower at the pass, Mark could already see the light of a large group of people marching in the distance.

According to the speed of travel, the enemy's vanguard would only have two-quarters of an hour to reach the pass.

In order to effectively prevent the enemy from passing through the pass, Mark first had people block the gate of the pass. Then he placed a large number of obstacles to restrict the enemy's movement.

Before the Han army could complete all arrangements, the Huns' vanguard had already arrived.

Fortunately, the Huns didn't have many forwards, just a hundred cavalry.

The pass is very narrow and easy to defend but difficult to attack, which gave Mark some confidence.

The Xiongnu Hundred Cavalry Commander already noticed something was wrong just before they arrived at the pass.

He immediately ordered everyone to dismount and directed his men to conduct a tentative attack on the pass.

Because it was night, neither fighting party could accurately judge the distance between the two sides.

The Huns could only rely on general judgment, after feeling that the pass city wall had entered the shooting range of their bows and arrows.

The commander of the Hundred Cavalry of the Huns issued the order to launch the projectile. The Huns were indeed the people who led the bows. At night, their shooting skills were not greatly affected.

Most of their arrows landed near the pass wall, and several muffled groans were heard. Several Han soldiers who could not escape had already been hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

Mark looked carefully at the arrows shot by the Huns and found that the arrowheads used by the Huns were all made of iron.

Mark was shocked: "These Huns are indeed extraordinary!"

The war between the Huns and the Han army had been going on for decades, and their supplies were already insufficient. Most of the arrows used by ordinary Huns soldiers were made of stone or wolf fangs.

Only the truly elite will be equipped with metal arrowheads. Although Shanguo produces iron, not many people in Shanguo actually use bows and arrows, so there must not be many iron arrowheads in domestic reserves.

The iron arrowheads used by the Huns were definitely not provided by Shanguo people.

When Mark saw that his men were shot dead by the Huns, he was naturally not to be outdone and immediately ordered to fight back with bows and crossbows.

Thus began the brief but brutal battle to attack and defend the pass.

Although the Huns were better at shooting, they suffered some slight losses in terms of technology and terrain.

Although the bows of the Huns were faster, they had a shorter range and less power. In addition, all the Han troops were armored, so the Huns' cavalry bows could not penetrate the Han army's armor, so the Han army suffered few casualties.

big.

Although the crossbows used by the Han army were slower, they had a longer range, greater power, and very strong armor-breaking capabilities. Moreover, the Han army was condescending.

The two sides exchanged fire, and the Huns suffered a lot. After several rounds of shooting, the Huns' Hundred Horsemen already discovered the problem.

In desperation, he had to temporarily stop the attack and wait for the arrival of the main army.

Taking advantage of this time, Mark quickly urged the soldiers to renovate the pass and prepare for the upcoming war.

The Han army had just demolished a section of stairs leading up and down the pass, and the main force of the Huns had already arrived.

"I am reporting to your Majesty that the Han army has occupied the pass ahead. My subordinates are incompetent and failed to capture the pass. Please punish me!"

Commander Baiqi, who failed to take the pass, immediately apologized to King Outu.

"How is this possible, how is this possible...how could the Han army occupy my pass!"

The king of the mountain kingdom said in disbelief.

At this moment, he realized that his son and the army were probably far too ferocious.

But before seeing the truth, he still held on to a little fantasy.

It's a pity that King Outu broke his illusion directly, "Now you know you were wrong, the Han army is not the soldiers of the Western Regions, and it is not that easy to deal with!"

Then he turned his head and said: "Commander Baiqi, get up. You have done a good job. Since the Han army has occupied the pass, I will definitely not be able to break the pass with this small force."

"Itachi, it seems to me that all of your soldiers are not dead yet, and you still have a chance to save them."

The King of Shan Kingdom's eyes lit up: "What your Majesty means is that our soldiers are still outside the pass."

King Ou Tuo said: "Exactly, otherwise what we see now would not be such a small number of Han troops!"

The king of Shan Kingdom, Xu Weitai, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, our Shan Kingdom is willing to take the lead, and we also ask King Otuo to support us."

King Ou Tuo said with satisfaction: "Don't worry, the Han people are also our great enemies, and I will naturally not let them go."

"Itachi, your bodyguards will serve as the vanguard, and I will send two more centurions to coordinate your attack!"
