Chapter 170 Sun Jian fights against the scorpion, the tiger beats the jackal!
Shenyuan Pass.
Xiliang Camp.
Central army, big tent.
A man with a rough face opened the curtain and entered.
He took off his helmet, took off his sword, threw it on the commander's desk, opened his mouth angrily and cursed: "Fuck you! This is too much bullying."
The man standing in front of the map smiled and ignored the angry man's curses. He didn't even bother to look back, as if he hadn't heard them at all.
The rough man turned to look at the man: "Wang Sima, brother, I am already like this, aren't you ready to comfort me? One day, you will transfer me too. You don't even have anyone to talk to in this huge Shuyuan Pass.
.”
Wang Fang shook his head in embarrassment, and then turned around: "Do you blame me for ignoring you? Since we were transferred to Zhenyuan Pass, do you think there will be a day when you don't curse? Brother, my ears are getting calloused.
Can’t we just stop for a while?”
"Zhang Sima!"
Wang Fang picked up the helmet and sword from the commander's desk and hung them on the wooden stakes beside him: "You should also know that Sheyuan Pass plays more of a defensive role in the overall situation."
"We are here to communicate with the two major battlefields of Sishui Pass and Guangcheng Pass. There is not much possibility of a major war. A garrison of seven or eight hundred people is enough. The Prime Minister has arranged it like this, and it naturally makes sense."
"I heard..."
Wang Fang returned to the map and exclaimed: "The princes of Guandong have gathered seven and eight princes in Yanjin, with a total strength of 50,000 to 60,000 people. Isn't it normal for the Prime Minister to mobilize troops and horses to support them?"
"Oh, that's enough."
Zhang Yi waved his hand, the anger still lingering on his face: "It's the same thing every day, don't you get annoyed? Yanjin is indeed more important, but aren't we important?"
"yes!"
Zhang Yi said with certainty: "It is indeed unlikely that a major war will occur at Shenyuan Pass, but what if a small force attacks? What can we do with these soldiers and horses in our hands?"
"The flames of war!"
"The flames of war!"
"..."
Zhang Yi kept chewing this word, and the anger in his heart seemed to be wavered, and became more and more tumbling: "Now that the Prime Minister cannot protect himself, can he still take care of us?"
"Shh~~~"
Wang Fang hurriedly made a silence gesture: "Do you want to kill me?"
Zhang Yi said nonchalantly: "Anyway, there are only two of you and me in the tent. If one day I die because of this, it will be your kid who snitched on me. By then, my wronged soul will turn into a vicious ghost. It won't be too late to take revenge."
"You guy..."
"Oh, that's enough."
Zhang Yi hurriedly interrupted the other party: "Brother, I have already memorized those words of yours, and I am too lazy to listen to them anymore! But to be honest, if I were an enemy, I would definitely go all out if they attacked."
"So what if the flames of war are going on?"
Zhang Yi hit the nail on the head and said: "If the Prime Minister really has troops to support us, why would he need to mobilize troops from us? Now even His Majesty has moved away and Luoyang has been burned down. If something happens,
You and I, brothers, are prepared to die for our country."
Wang Fang glanced at Zhang Yi: "Can you stop talking nonsense?"
Zhang Yi waved his hand: "Whether you want to hear it or not, it's no use what I say anyway. Should people be transferred away or be transferred away? I guarantee that one day you will be the only one left in this Shenyuan Pass."
"Report~~~"
At this moment, a hurried announcement suddenly sounded outside the tent.
Zhang Yi and Wang Fang subconsciously turned their heads to look.
However, a soldier hurriedly broke into the tent, looking extremely flustered. He didn't even bother to salute, so he raised his hand and pointed outside, glared and blurted out:
"Two...two Sima...big thing...big thing is bad, outside the customs..."
"Don't worry."
Wang Fang waved his hand to interrupt the soldier: "Take a breath and then talk."
The soldier then took a deep breath and said, "Two Sima, we found a troop of soldiers and horses outside the pass, and they are heading towards Shenyuan Pass. There are about 2,000 troops."
"What?"
Zhang Yi stood up suddenly, all the hairs on his body suddenly stood up, and his eyes almost exploded: "Where are the light and dark sentries outside the customs, why are they not reporting until now?"
The soldier swallowed: "Zhang Sima, they... they came from the direction of Yingshui by boat."
Zhang Yi snarled: "So what? Didn't I arrange someone in advance?"
The soldier timidly replied: "Zhang Sima, the people you arranged have been transferred out in two days. I just discovered the gap today. The people sent out happened to find the enemy troops coming."
"Damn it!"
Zhang Yi felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He picked up the helmet and sword hanging on the wooden stake, and immediately gave the order: "Beat the drum to warn everyone. Everyone must gather at the top of the city. Even the fire-headed soldiers have to go up with kitchen knives."
"Walk."
Zhang Yi waved his hand, signaling Wang Fang to follow.
Shenyuan Pass.
Zhang Yi stared at the soldiers and horses lining up outside, and said to himself: "Damn it! The opponent is already on guard, otherwise I can take advantage of his unstable footing and frustrate this thief's spirit."
"Zhang Sima."
Wang Fang frowned and said softly: "Do you want to light the smoke?"
Zhang Yi was disdainful and waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want. This thing is useless. We can't have reinforcements. Fighting to the death is better than anything else."
Wang Fang was naturally aware of Zhang Yi's bad temper, so he waved his hand and said, "Go and light the smoke."
The soldier raised his hand and said, "No."
"whispering sound!"
Zhang Yi was quite disdainful of this.
Wang Fang said softly: "Once the city is defeated, if we light the smoke, the guilt will be smaller. If we don't light the smoke, we probably won't be able to protect the head on the neck."
Zhang Yi still looked disdainful: "You can do whatever you want! Anyway, before I came here, I and the school captain issued a military order, locking people up and killing them. I have no intention of going back alive."
"Brothers!"
Zhang Yi held a knife and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Although we have a small number of troops, we have the advantage of city defense and are backed by Luoyang. As long as we can hold on until dark, the thieves will retreat and will not come again."
"Everyone, please be smart and keep your spirits up. These rats in Guandong are just a bunch of rabble who have never been on the battlefield. If we are singled out, one of you can beat ten of them. Although there are many thieves, they are not the best."
Nothing to fear."
"..."
now.
Outside Shenyuan Pass.
Looking at the smoke billowing in the sky, Sun Jian smiled faintly at his soldiers and said half-jokingly: "Brothers, have you seen it? Before the war started, the smoke was rising."
"What's this called?"
Sun Jian's voice was loud and powerful: "This is called being cold before fighting, so what about the Xiliang Knights? They are still made of flesh and blood, and a knife can punch a hole in them!"
The team has just finished forming and still needs to rest for a while before launching the attack.
Taking this opportunity, Sun Jian launched pre-war mobilization.
He worked his way up from a petty official, so this pre-war mobilization did not have any fancy and exciting rhetoric, it was all vernacular that ordinary people could understand.
but......
Despite this, Sun Jian could always strike directly into the hearts of the soldiers. With just a few words and a few words of encouragement, he could eliminate any timidity and make the fighting spirit of all the soldiers burn like a blazing fire.
"I, Sun Jian, have been fighting all my life and have made countless military exploits. I remember that when I conquered the rebels in Liangzhou, I defeated the Qiang and Hu people. They were all so fierce and intimidating that they were cowards!"
"The war will start later. As long as you are more fierce than them, you can definitely scare these guys. This is my experience in killing Qiang and Hu people, and I will teach it to you now!"
"Did you see this knife?"
Sun Jian showed the ancient Songwen ingot sword to everyone and said proudly: "Do you know where the patterns on it came from? They were all made with blood. Even I can't count how many enemies this sword has killed."
"
"..."
Sun Jian shared his experience of killing Qiang and Hu people with everyone during the break.
As expected.
There was strong interest on the faces of all the soldiers, and many of them were even looking at their swords. As long as they killed enough thieves, they would be able to reveal such beautiful patterns.
Hehe~~
It’s kind of interesting!
"General."
Just when Sun Jian was getting excited about mobilizing before the battle, Huang Gai stepped forward and handed over his hands: "It's almost time."
Sun Jian took a long breath, then finally stopped, and said loudly: "In a word, fighting means one word: courage! If you are brave, he will be cowardly, if you are cowardly, he will be brave, if you want to walk around with bows and arrows, if you stare hard and roar!
"
"Remember?"
"Remember!"
"good!"
Sun Jian took a deep breath, picked up the ancient ingot sword, turned around to face Shenyuan Pass, and said loudly: "Brothers, follow me and capture Shenyuan Pass!"
"Come on~~"
"Kill~~~"
A strong cry of killing resounded throughout the sky.
In an instant.
Thousands of soldiers and horses surged towards the city gate like a tide.
Led by Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from Jiangdong, they charged forward like a pack of crazed tigers and wolves, howling and howling.
Even the Xiliang warrior Zhang Yi could not help but be frightened by this ferocity. He knew that he had encountered a tough situation and could not take it lightly.
"Crossbowman!"
"Fire arrows~~"
Give an order.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows rained down like rain.
Under the city, Sun Jian walked as fast as the wind, flicking the ancient ingot sword left and right, blocking all the arrows coming from the air, and then continued to rush forward with the momentum of a tiger:
"Kill~~"
This roar.
It's like spring thunder bursting out of the mouth, and thunderbolts shaking on the tip of the tongue.
It also pushed the war-loving mood of the soldiers to its peak in an instant.
Under the leadership of Sun Jian, the soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, howling and roaring despite the rain of arrows.
On the top of the city, Zhang Yi was stunned, staring at the enemy troops below the city, his heart was shocked.
He originally thought he was fierce enough.
Even in the Xiliang army, he can rank high.
But I never thought...
The two thousand soldiers and horses in front of him were more fierce than him, even comparable to the fierce tiger he encountered when he was in Liangzhou.
Zhang Yi felt bad and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't pay attention to the arrows, just hit me hard."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The second wave of arrows came one after another, covering the sky and the earth like locusts.
but......
Even so, it was still difficult to stop the madness of the enemy troops below the city. The dense arrows only caused a wave in the army, and was immediately submerged in the wave, as if nothing had happened.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
A series of ladders were erected between the battlements of the city wall.
Sun Jian put the ancient ingot sword into its sheath, replaced it with the handed shield, and immediately climbed up quickly.
Behind him, the soldiers were chasing after him, as if this was not a siege but a competition.
If only Sun Jian was alone, he would just return it to himself. Unfortunately, this is the case on all the ladders in the city, without exception.
"Break stones and roll logs."
"Give these bastards a good beating!"
Phew~~
A huge shadow obscured Sun Jian's vision.
Sun Jian showed no fear at all. He shrunk slightly and carried a shield on his shoulders, making a defensive posture.
In fact, he didn't need to resist the stone, but considering the safety of the soldiers behind him, he finally fought with his own body.
Bang!
There was a loud noise.
Sun Jian felt as if a huge mountain was pressing on his shoulders.
He followed this force and sank slightly. While releasing his force, he tilted the shield in an arc, forcing the stone to change its trajectory and roll down towards the city wall.
Take advantage of this gap in the attack.
Sun Jian's steps were fast and he jumped up a distance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrows whizzed and hit directly at the door.
While Sun Jian turned sideways to avoid the arrows on the left, he raised his shield to block the arrows flying from the right.
He had just stabilized his body and was about to climb up.
The huge shadow strikes again.
But this time, instead of throwing rocks, it was rolling logs.
Sun Jian followed suit and successfully blocked again.
up!
Keep going up!
Arrows, stones, and logs couldn't do anything to him.
Sun Jian climbed all the way up.
finally.
It is less than ten feet away from the city head.
He raised his shield and slowly approached upward.
suddenly.
Cold light flashes.
Several spears sprang out like spiritual snakes and aimed at Sun Jian on the ladder, stabbing straight at him without any fancy.
Sun Jian hooked his feet on the ladder, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.
Ugh~~~
The knife was unsheathed, and the cold light was glaring.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
The flying spear was cut off by Sun Jian's sword, leaving only the spear shaft alone in the air.
"ah?"
On the top of the city, the Xiliang soldiers were stunned.
Although he was only distracted for a moment, Sun Jian seized the opportunity to fight, abandoned his shield, and while flying upwards, he stretched out his arms, held the spear shafts under his ribs, and yanked them out.
Phew~~
A Xiliang soldier fell headfirst and was thrown away.
At the same time, a wave of arrows from outside the city suddenly struck, covering the city head in an instant.
The soldiers on the city wall were about to attack, but subconsciously they retreated.
Sun Jian was overjoyed and took advantage of this opportunity to continue rushing forward and directly reached the crenellations of the city wall.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The ancient ingot sword danced with a gust of wind, forcing the Xiliang soldiers to retreat. At the same time, Sun Jian struggled to jump to the top of the city.
With the sword in my hand, I have the world.
Although he was surrounded as soon as he landed, Sun Jian attacked boldly without any hesitation. In the blink of an eye, he chopped down several people one after another.
Sun Jian raised his head and raised his sword, shouting loudly: "I am Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. He who is not afraid of death, come up!"
Coincidentally, Zhang Yi was not far from here. When he heard the word "Sun Jian", he rushed over and stared at him.
really!
A familiar figure appeared in front of me.
Zhang Yi's body trembled subconsciously, and fear flashed in his eyes.
When I was in Liangzhou, this figure was like a god.
Even Dong Zhuo must be afraid of three points!
but......
The fear in Zhang Yi's heart disappeared in an instant, replaced by a fierce fighting spirit.
He rushed over with a knife and shouted: "Brothers, kill this thief!"
When the Xiliang soldiers from all around saw the army commander Zhang Yi arriving, their morale soared, and they all immediately attacked Sun Jian.
Spears, Huanshou swords, long swords, etc., transformed into countless light spots and moved towards Sun Jian.
"Well done!"
Sun Jian was full of fighting spirit and let out a loud shout.
Holding the knife in both hands, he danced wildly against the dazzling lights surrounding him.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The golden sound exploded, and the sparks burst out.
Sun Jian's sword gleam seemed to have covered him with an invincible armor. The gleams piercing him from all sides were unable to be penetrated by needles or sprayed by water. He blocked them away with ease.
Backhand!
The sword light streaked through the air like a ghost, like a comet passing by.
Zhang Yi rushed forward and was about to attack Sun Jian, but found that the opponent's sword was already coming.
Attack, attack cannot advance;
Retreat, cannot retreat;
Zhang Yi was stunned and had no time to react. He howled miserably and his entire head was cut off by Sun Jian.
"Ho~~~"
They saw Sun Jian holding Zhang Yi's head in one hand and the ancient ingot knife in the other. He looked at him with eager eyes, showed off his power, and let out a thunderous roar!
