Sishui Pass is not majestic, but it just connects Sishui with the remaining stretches of Mount Tai. This moss-covered and mottled pass is tightly guarded and is the only way to enter Donghai County from Xiangcheng County.
The night was as dark as ink, and the sky was filled with haze. The night wind blew like a knife against the soldiers guarding the wall.
When the soldiers on guard at night were drowsy, they were suddenly awakened by a faint noise. They climbed up to the parapet and looked outside. They saw a group of people coming from the west, with torches burning. There were about a hundred people.
"Hey, it seems that the food team is back. Why did it happen so quickly this time? It only took one day to fight back and forth." A soldier cheered up and leaned out of the parapet to carefully watch the opponent's flag.
"It usually takes two days, but it went so quickly today. Is it weird?" A soldier was also full of doubts. He rubbed his hands and covered his red face as if trying to find some residual warmth.
"Where can there be something weird? General Lei Bo's battalion is guarding there. There is really a problem. The troops have broken out a long time ago. In my opinion, the weather is too cold and they are anxious to enter the customs. Hey...
...She was startled, like a girl."
"Yang Laoliu, why do you confront me every time?"
While the two were bickering, Yuan Shujun's group had already reached the gate. One of them pointed at the tower and shouted loudly: "People in the city, listen, quickly open the door and let the brothers in."
The soldiers on the city responded: "Where are you from? If it is a grain team, it will have to be dawn before it can enter the pass. If it is not a grain team, under the order of General Chen, no one is allowed to enter the pass without the order of the lord general."
The battlefield at this time has always been like this. Each department has its own defense zone and scheduling. Unless there is an order from the general, no one can move at will. The only exception is the grain team. This is why Gao Jin waited for the grain team to arrive before launching an attack.
The soldiers at Guanxia were already shouting: "What? We have to wait until dawn? The soldiers have been running hard all night, and they have to suffer the cold all night in Guanxia in this freezing cold weather? Don't be nagging, open the door quickly.
!”
"We are all serving the Lord. Why are you so free and easy in the gate, while I have to work hard to get back and forth?"
Everyone was chattering, and the more they talked, the angrier they became, and some people had already started slamming the door.
The soldiers on the city had no choice but to say: "This is a military order. What can we do? You should stay in the pass for a while. We will send someone to inform the general to see if he can make it easier."
After a long time, Chen Lan, the angry-looking Sishui Pass guard, came to the pass. He was sleeping deeply, but he was woken up by these soldiers. You can imagine the anger in his heart. He leaned out of the parapet.
He glanced at the grain team at the pass and said, "Where is Zhao He?"
A man in Guanxia lit a torch, deliberately put it close to his face, and said loudly: "Zhao He is here. He deserves death for disturbing the general. It's just that the soldiers have traveled all night and are cold and hungry. They really can't."
Let's rest at the pass again. Please be kind to the general and let us enter the pass."
When Chen Lan saw Zhao He, she no longer doubted his presence. She impatiently reprimanded the soldiers at the pass: "Since the grain team is back, just let them enter the pass. Come and ask me about this matter."
The soldiers guarding the pass were full of grievances, and said in their hearts that if they were allowed to enter the pass without authorization, you would not have said so, and you might have to find someone to punish them.
Chen Lan waved her hand: "Let them in, don't make any noise!"
"Here!" After receiving the general's order, the soldiers who had closed the door went to open the door.
Chen Lan laughed aloud, tightened the clothes on her body, cursed the damn cold air a few times, then walked off the wall to go back to the treatment center to continue sleeping.
A gap opened in the city gate with a creaking sound, and then it was opened open under the push of four or five soldiers. Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves. Before they could react, the hundreds of soldiers of the grain team below the city were already raising their spears and swords.
Roar and charge forward.
Yu Jin was mixed in among them. Except for Zhao He, the rest of the hundred soldiers were all soldiers from the military police camp. They just put on the clothes and armor of Yuan Shu's army. Yu Jin jumped out of the crowd and held a gun in his hand.
He slashed the sword across the air and beheaded an unsuspecting Guan Guan garrison, and then shouted: "Take the Guan Guan and welcome General Gao into the city!"
"Here!" Hundreds of soldiers rushed through the door like a tide, holding torches and began to pour into the pass and light fires everywhere.
Most of the buildings in this era, whether they were government offices, private houses or military camps, were made of wood. In addition, the climate in the north was already very dry. Even though the snowy weather passed, sparks ignited quickly and became more violent under the influence of the cold wind.
.
When the sleeping Yuan Shujun woke up from his dream, the whole building had become a sea of fire. Most of the soldiers were swallowed up by the fire before they could rush out of the barracks. The few Yuan Shujun who rushed out of the barracks were also in chaos.
There were shouts of death and warnings of enemy attacks from all directions, but they had no idea where the enemies were or who they were.
Almost at the same time, Gao Jin led hundreds of cavalrymen who came from behind and passed through the closed door, charging towards the pass.
The entire pass was in chaos, with countless war horses roaring past, ravaging and galloping in all directions. The fire also made the war horses irritable and restless, and the neighing of Herod's horse deepened the chaos.
Gao Jin reined in his horse and kept looking for him. He ignored the rebels along the way and rushed straight to the headquarters.
Riding on a high-speed moving horse, the cold wind blew through, bringing a bit of sting, but also an extra sense of pleasure.
He looked around and saw that a large number of Yuan Shu's troops had begun to gather on the east side of the pass. Several flags with "Chen Lan" written on them were fluttering in the wind. This made the Yuan Shu's troops who were in chaos in the pass finally calm down and move closer there.
.
Gao Jin frowned, and coldly shouted to the group of cavalry behind him: "Follow me!"
Dozens of horsemen rushed toward the east side like a strong wind. At this time, more than a hundred Yuan Shu's troops had gathered here. Chen Lan sat on the horse quite embarrassedly, constantly ordering the soldiers around him to get into formation, trying to make a final resistance.
The cold wind blew by, and cold sweat broke out on Chen Lan's forehead. He never imagined that enemy troops would come to deceive the pass, nor did he expect that Zhao He would actually have an affair with the enemy. Thinking that the pass was about to fall, he didn't know
The famous enemy had already charged into the pass, and he was at a loss for a moment. Thinking about Yuan Shu's punishment again, he shuddered even more.
At this time, dozens of horsemen rushed towards me like a gust of wind. Chen Lan cheered up, sat on the horse, raised his spear, and shouted loudly: "Kill someone!"
The silent knight crashed into Yuan Shu's army, and immediately countless people flew away. Yuan Shu's army was in chaos again. Chen Lan had already noticed Gao Jin, raised his spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Who are you? Dare to seize someone?"
pass."
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely angry Chen Lan thrust out his spear, and the tip of the spear struck Gao Jin's face with a sound of breaking through the air.
Gao Jin smiled coldly, and the Emei gun in his hand pierced the throat of a Yuan Shujun. He only heard an inaudible sound of his throat bones breaking. The Yuan Shujun groaned, spitting blood from his mouth, and then collapsed.
At this time, Chen Lan's spear had reached the tip of Gao Jin's nose. Gao Jin tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the fatal blow. Then he looked at Chen Lan with his knife-like eyes and said with a ferocious smile: "Do you only have this little strength?
?”
The Emei gun in his hand shot out fiercely, like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole. It was many times more powerful than Chen Lan. At this moment, the tip of the gun was still a foot away, and at the next moment, the tip of the gun was already reflecting the fire and emitting a cold light.
Stabbed into Chen Lan's ribs.
Uh-huh... Chen Lan let out a loud cry of pain, her ribs were dripping with blood, and she fell off the horse.
"You're no better than Lei Bo, you're too slow!" Gao Jin glanced at Chen Lan indifferently, who still had a breath of life, reined in his horse and continued to charge.
