It's raining heavily!
In the heavy rain, Yue Fei's army was still rushing forward.
The night was so dark that it was almost impossible to see. In such weather, it was impossible to light a torch. The marching speed of the soldiers was greatly affected by this. They did not dare to walk too fast, otherwise they would definitely go astray, and
A large group of troops were lost.
Moreover, because of the rain, the desert was extremely muddy, and they could not walk fast at all.
However, at this moment, the soldiers were in a very good mood. Because of the rain, their thirst for the past few days was finally solved. Not only did they have water to drink, but their horses also had water to drink.
Yue Fei was still at the end of the team. He raised his head and looked into the sky. Unfortunately, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
The raindrops were so heavy that it hurt his face a little bit.
"It's raining really hard, and that's not a good thing." Next to him, Hu Yanting said with a bitter smile.
"Yes! It's raining too much! It's late autumn now. It was already cold, but now it's even colder. Let the soldiers be careful and don't get sick," Yue Fei said.
"If we were in other places, we could still find shelter from the rain, but in the desert, there is no shelter from the rain." One of Yue Fei's soldiers said.
"The most important thing is to come to Keyi Gate as soon as possible! We all carry medicinal herbs with us. When we get there, we can boil the medicine and give it to the sick soldiers. Now, we don't even have a place to boil the medicine." Yue Fei said.
Throughout the night, it rained non-stop, the weather became colder and colder, and everyone's clothes were soaked through.
On the second day, the rain still did not stop. Gradually, the sound of coughing came from the army. Not only people, but also many horses were sick. Many horses were shaking all over, and some horses were already sick.
I have a fever. But the horse also knows that there is no way to stay in this desert. Staying here now will only lead to death, so the horse is also moving forward desperately.
"Let the soldiers be faster! We must rush to Keyi Gate tonight and conquer Keyi Gate!" Yue Fei frowned.
The soldiers gritted their teeth and persisted, and more and more soldiers joined the ranks suffering from colds and fevers!
Originally, the physical fitness of Liangshan soldiers was quite good, far better than that of ordinary people! However, after a month of arduous trek, they could not rest for long every day! Especially in the past few days, they had almost no rest, in the sandstorm, heavy rain
As they move forward, their physical strength is almost exhausted, and their body resistance has reached its lowest point! It is under this situation that more and more people get sick.
At this time, even Yue Fei felt a little anxious.
On this day, Ren Duo Baozhong and Ren Duo Awu still had nothing to do. They have been like this for many years, so there is nothing strange about it.
In addition to their two guards, Keyimen also has 30,000 soldiers, but these 30,000 soldiers are all new recruits.
Over the years, Xixia's soldiers have suffered very serious losses. Starting more than ten years ago, they fought with the Western Army and lost more than 100,000 troops. Later, they participated in the Northern War, and more than 200,000 people were killed.
In the north, the Jin King of Xixia led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to die in the Shangjing area. One after another
Due to the losses, Xixia's troops are now insufficient. Keyimen was originally stationed with veterans, but because there has been no fighting here all year round, those veterans were sent to the more important southern border area. There can only be recruits here! Not only are there recruits here,
Many of the 200,000 people sent to the south were also new recruits!
In the past, these recruits would have done a little training, but today was a rainy day, and the recruits had no intention of training. They were hiding in the city one by one, some were playing cards, and some were fast asleep.
****
Night finally fell, and at night, the rain seemed to be getting heavier. It was like a god from the sky pouring heavy rain down in basins!
At this moment, there is not a single soldier visible on the top of Keyi Gate!
There was only a small room with a dim oil lamp burning, and a veteran sitting here.
The veteran was over fifty years old. He was drinking soju and eating beef jerky, and he felt a little drowsy.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong. There seemed to be a figure moving outside.
The veteran was shocked. He hurriedly put on his poncho, opened the door and walked outside.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, two people suddenly rushed toward him!
Before he could shout, one person had already covered his mouth, and another person stabbed a sharp knife into his heart!
Hot blood flowed out, but the veteran's eyes gradually lost their luster! After a moment, his whole body fell there softly, unable to struggle anymore!
From this small room to the city gate below, there are a total of three similar rooms, all of which are guarded by veterans.
However, except for the veteran from before, the rest of the veterans were already asleep! Liangshan soldiers sneaked in under the rain, and soon all these veterans were killed without making any sound in the whole process.
There were also dim lights burning at the city gate of Keyi Gate, where a dozen soldiers were guarding. Some of the dozen soldiers were already asleep, but a few were awake. When they saw
When they saw the black shadow outside, they couldn't help but scream, and everyone around them was immediately awakened.
A dozen Xixia soldiers rushed forward, but as soon as they passed by, they immediately stayed there! In front of them, hundreds of Liangshan soldiers were rushing towards them with swords in hand!
In almost a moment, these dozen Xixia soldiers were chopped into pulp!
Soon, the gate of Keyi Gate opened, and countless Liangshan cavalry swarmed in! The sound of trampling horse hooves, even the sound of rain could not stop it!
Rendo Baozhong and Rendo Awu, a father and son, slept in the same room.
Nendo Baozhong was already old and had trouble sleeping at night. In his sleep, he heard faint noises outside, so he got up.
He put on his clothes and listened carefully. After a while, his expression changed. He rushed to his son's bed and woke him up.
"Father, what's wrong?" Renduo Awu said with hazy sleepy eyes.
"Listen! Listen quickly!" Nendo Baozhong said.
Renduo Awu listened carefully. After a while, his expression changed and he said: "How can there be the sound of horse hooves?"
"Quick, let's go out and take a look!" Renduo Baozhong said.
The two of them hurriedly put on all their clothes, took their swords and were about to go out. Suddenly, there was a fierce collision on their door. There was a loud "bang" and their door was hit.
It’s open!
Dozens of Liangshan soldiers rushed inside!
Nendo Baozhong was horrified and stabbed forward with the sword in his hand!
In front of him was a young man. This young man was extremely powerful. He almost subdued Renduo Baozhong with three moves and two moves! As for Renduo Awu, he had long been subdued by the other Liangshan soldiers.
The two people were pushed to the ground, while the young man stood in front of them, just glanced at them, and then began to search the room carefully.
He was searching some maps and related information, and while he was searching, screams came from outside!
At first there were only sporadic screams, but not long after, the entire Keyi Gate was full of screams! Outside, Liangshan soldiers were slaughtering those Xixia soldiers crazily!
After a long time, the young man searched for the information he wanted, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Has Han Chang sent out?" the young man asked.
"Commander, he has gone out! He has blocked the road ahead with ten thousand people, ensuring that not a single Xixia soldier can escape!" a soldier nearby reported.
"Very good!" The young man was Yue Fei, and he nodded.
The sound of massacres continued to come through the sound of rain, and the whole room was filled with the smell of blood! After about half an hour, the sounds of massacres finally stopped gradually! The rainy night seemed to be peaceful again!
Hu Yanting rushed in covered with blood and said: "Commander, the war is over! There are about 30,000 Xixia troops, of which 10,000 were killed and 20,000 were captured! 57 of our troops died in the battle and more than 230 were injured.
People! Now our army has taken control of Keyi Gate, and no enemy can escape!"
Yue Fei nodded and said: "Okay!"
Chapter completed!
