At dusk, Shao Jichun led five thousand soldiers to the west entrance of Yixiantian. Shao Jichun ordered: "Drive the mules in!"
A dozen soldiers drove three mule carts in to explore the road. After walking for about half a mile, the mules refused to go and kept retreating. They saw smoke rising in front of them. Black smoke billowed into the canyon, and the smell was pungent.
, it was extremely choking and unbearable, and more than a dozen soldiers turned around and ran.
Suddenly, three soldiers fell to the ground one after another. The other soldiers quickly helped them up and ran. The soldiers coughed desperately and struggled to escape from the Xiantian Canyon. They sat on the ground and took a deep breath. Only then did the soldiers realize that the three soldiers who fell were all speechless.
Nose bleeding, stopped breathing.
"How is the situation?" Shao Jichun stepped forward and asked.
"This is not good!"
The leader of the capital said: "The other party actually used poisonous smoke. Three mules are gone. Three brothers died. They all died from inhaling the poisonous smoke."
"When did the smoke start?"
"About halfway!"
"Is there a fire?"
Du shook his head, "I didn't see any fire, there should be fire."
Wu Qiming, the commander next to him, said: "General, after the enemy has burned a batch of firewood and kerosene, they must wait for it to cool down before sending people in to deploy the second batch of firewood and kerosene. If we can hold back the poisonous smoke, we can wait for the first batch of firewood and kerosene to cool down."
As soon as the first batch was burned, we rushed over and they didn't have time to deploy the second batch, so we killed them."
"How to deal with poisonous smoke and fire?"
Another experienced commander said: "You can put out the fire with wet bedding, and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel to prevent smoke, but it won't last long?"
"How long can it last?"
"One stick of incense at most!"
Shao Jichun calculated the time and found that one stick of incense was enough. He immediately said: "The assault camp is ready, follow me and kill!"
All the generals were shocked and advised: "The general is the commander in chief and cannot take risks!"
Shao Jichun said angrily: "It's better for me to take the lead and rush to the front. Don't waste any more time. Everyone is ready!"
Shao Jichun and the 300 assault battalion soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet towels, tied a knot behind their heads, and held short spears with shields in preparation for action. In addition, each of them also carried a wet quilt on their shoulders, which could not only protect the soldiers, but also
Can put out fire in time.
Shao Jichun walked in the front carrying a large shield and a spear. His usual weapons were a pair of sixty-pound copper hammers, but he was also very good at marksmanship and it was inconvenient to hold the copper hammers, so he temporarily switched to a spear.
At this time, the first batch of igniting objects was almost burned out, and the poisonous smoke was not as strong as before. This was an opportunity. If the other party got ahead of them and completed the second deployment, it would be troublesome.
The soldiers sped up and ran. They soon stepped on the corpses of three mules. They were already halfway through. At this time, the poisonous smoke became smaller and the road ahead could be seen. The soldiers sped up and ran again.
About one hundred and fifty steps away from the mouth of the valley, flames appeared in front, and Shao Jichun ordered: "Put out the fire!"
He turned aside, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed to the front, spreading wet bedding. The open fire was immediately extinguished, and another group of people came forward. Although the team was slow, it still kept moving forward. Shao Jichun held a spear and a shield, always
In the first square.
Fifty steps away from the valley entrance, someone in front of them shouted: "The fire in front has been extinguished. Get the kerosene bucket quickly!"
This was a life-or-death moment. If the other party succeeded in dumping the fire oil, three hundred of them would definitely die. Shao Jichun ripped off the wet towel from his mouth and nose and rushed forward like a strong wind.
Several soldiers who were deploying firewood and kerosene were caught off guard and were stabbed to death by Shao Jichun's spear. Screams rang out, and someone shouted: "The Western Army is coming!"
A dozen soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and fled. Shao Jichun and his men followed closely behind them, but did not kill them. They were ready-made human shields.
The signing troops outside heard the screams and shouts in the canyon. They must be the Western Army coming to kill them. The leading commander said urgently: "Light the fire!"
They had laid about thirty steps of hay and a large number of oleander branches. Some soldiers immediately lit the hay, and the fire immediately burst into flames.
"Bows and arrows ready!"
Three hundred soldiers raised their crossbows and aimed at the mouth of the valley.
At this time, people in the Xianxian Canyon shouted: "Commander, it's us, don't light the fire!"
The commander of the signing army immediately ordered: "shoot arrows!"
Suddenly, a volley of arrows was fired into the canyon, and screams continued to be heard from the sky. I don't know if it was their people or the Western Army. The commander shouted: "Don't stop, keep shooting!"
After another round of arrows was fired, the screams stopped. At this time, some soldiers discovered that the fire was also extinguished.
"Commander, the fire in the canyon is out!"
"Pour some more kerosene and light the fire!"
Several soldiers hugged the kerosene barrels and rushed over. Just as they reached the mouth of the valley, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the mouth of the valley, with cold light in their hands. Several soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, all of them shot in the throat.
"The enemy is out, shoot arrows!"
Three hundred arrows were shot at the black shadow, but the black shadow had a big shield in his hand. He ran with the big shield to avoid the arrows. It was none other than the fierce general Shao Jichun. He suddenly threw away his shield and rushed into the crowd. He waved his spear and hit everyone he reached.
It's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
The commander of the signing army shouted and stabbed Shao Jichun with his spear. Shao Jichun sneered and dodged, but the opponent missed the target. He stabbed out with a spear, so fast that it was unparalleled. The commander of the signing army could not dodge and was pierced by the spear.
His throat was pierced, plasma spurted out, and the commander died on the spot.
Behind him, more and more Western soldiers rushed out, killing the enemy soldiers until they were howling like ghosts and leaving corpses strewn on the ground. The remaining more than a hundred soldiers turned around and ran for their lives. Shao Jichun led 300 Western troops from the assault battalion to pursue them.
At this time, it was getting dark, and I saw two groups of hundreds of soldiers running on the mountain road. They were only seventy or eighty steps apart. In front were the fleeing soldiers, and behind were the chasing 300 Western troops. It was clear that the Western troops wanted to take advantage of
The opponent captured Fuyang Pass.
The five thousand troops behind also crossed the sky and followed behind.
It was about twenty miles from Yixiantian to Fuyang Pass. Around Hai hour, one hundred and fifty soldiers finally ran to the gate of Guancheng, shouting at the door. They didn't care whether the Western Army behind them would take the opportunity to enter Guancheng.
As long as they can survive.
Fuyang Pass is built on a slope, with cliffs on one side and a 100-foot-deep gorge on the other. Below is the Zhang River, which rushes eastward in the valley. There are cliffs on both sides, and there are continuous steps.
The waterfall makes it impossible for ships to navigate, so they can only take the dangerous road on the mountainside. Fuyang Pass is built on such a dangerous road. It can be said that one man can pass the pass and no one can pass it.
Of course, there are many such dangerous passes in the majestic Taihang Mountains, and Fuyang Pass is not very famous. In the Taihang Mountains, the really famous dangerous passes are Niangzi Pass, Yanmen Pass and Juyong Pass.
Fuyang Pass is not big, with only a thousand soldiers guarding it. It is led by a military commander named Li Wen. Currently, there are only 700 people left in the pass.
Li Wen received the report and hurriedly went to the city. In the darkness, he saw a large group of soldiers standing under the city. Li Wen asked: "What's going on? Where is General Wang?"
The leader of the capital shouted: "Commander Li, General Wang has been killed. The Western Army has broken through the sky and is chasing behind. Commander, please open the door quickly!"
Li Wen was startled and looked anxiously into the distance. The mountain road in the distance was very quiet in the night, and he saw no pursuing soldiers.
"Where are the pursuers?"
The head of the capital looked back and saw no pursuers. He was a little curious, where did the Western Army go?
But at this time, it was important for them to save their lives, so they casually said: "The Western Army is still a few miles away and will catch up soon. Please open the door, Commander."
The Western Army was still several miles away. Li Wen felt relieved and immediately ordered: "Open and close the door!"
The door slowly opened, and the soldiers rushed towards the door impatiently. At this moment, more than thirty steps behind them, dozens of black figures suddenly jumped up from the ground, heading towards the city gate like a pack of wolves.
Running wildly, other Western soldiers hiding two hundred steps away also ran over.
Li Wen was stunned for a moment. He suddenly reacted and shouted: "Guancheng! Guancheng!"
The soldiers guarding the city began to close the city gate, but hundreds of soldiers below the city desperately held the door closed and squeezed into the city.
"You bastards, the enemy is coming!"
Shao Jichun was the first to arrive. He stabbed more than a dozen people with his spear and opened a gap. He took the lead in rushing into Guancheng. His spears were like a storm. The more than 20 soldiers who were at Guancheng Gate died and fled. The city gate was closed.
Not available.
The thirty soldiers behind him also rushed into Guancheng. Li Wen shouted anxiously: "Kill them and close the city gate quickly!"
The three hundred soldiers who were on duty came from both sides, and the two sides fought in a melee. Although Shao Jichun had fewer people, he was not at all disadvantaged. Especially the general Shao Jichun was like a dragon in the sea. He was either dead or injured, and no one could stop him.
.
At this moment, the door was slammed open, and two hundred and seventy soldiers from the Western Army's assault battalion rushed in. Seeing that the situation was over, Li Wen ran down the tower in an attempt to escape, but was surrounded by more than a dozen Western Army soldiers. Within a moment, he
Covered in blood, he fell to the ground and died tragically on the spot.
The remaining soldiers knelt down and surrendered. The Western soldiers killed them all the way. Hundreds of soldiers in the camp at the foot of the mountain had heard the news and were about to go up the mountain to help, but they met a dozen soldiers who had fled down the mountain.
When the four hundred soldiers learned that their general had been killed, they no longer had the will to resist. They threw down their weapons, took off their armor, and fled for their lives.
