Chapter 63 Bloody Yanmen Pass ([-])
Heading south No. 15th, night.

Tanshihuai, who had been attacking for a whole day and night, had to order a temporary halt to the attack. At this moment, the Xianbei people had been attacking for days and had reached their limit and could no longer fight.

Han Dang, who was closing Yanmen, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. The Xianbei people were so brave and fearless in fighting that he was deeply shocked. Looking at the mountains of corpses under the pass, Cheng Pu felt for the first time what it meant to be a trapped beast. fight.

This night, I couldn't sleep for long. I had to clean up the corpses in the city and repair the fortifications.

"General, after fighting all day and night, only half of the men who can fight are left."

Looking at the statistics compiled by his subordinates, 680 two people were killed and 410 seven were injured.

It was such a dangerous situation, and after a day of fighting, there were such losses.

But when he saw the corpse, Han Dang smiled.

Yes, although the defenders of Yanmen Pass suffered heavy losses, the attacking Xianbei people suffered even greater losses. More than 8000 corpses were discarded at the gate, and there were nearly [-] wounded soldiers in the army.

The Xianbei camp no longer looked as majestic as it did when they marched south. Everyone walked heavily on the muddy ground step by step, as if every step was filled with endless exhaustion and despair.

The armor was covered with scratches and bloodstains. Although some had dried and hardened, the deep marks were still eye-catching.His face was haggard and pale, and only his two eyes were still burning with stubborn fire.The hand that once held a sharp sword was now weak and weak, as if all the strength had been exhausted in the endless siege and defeat.

Their figures looked lonely and desolate. In the afterglow of the setting sun, they were like lonely birds shot down by falcons, dejected and with nowhere to escape.

Today, we failed again.

Therefore, they can only bear the consequences of this failure, and move step by step towards an unknown future with deep pain and regret.

Not far away is the wounded barracks, a place full of tragedy.Many soldiers were injured and incapacitated, their bodies wracked by pain and exhaustion.The camp was filled with the wails and groans of wounded soldiers, and those painful sounds were heartbreaking.

The wounded soldiers were pale and thin, their clothes were in tatters and their bodies were covered with wounds and rags.Their eyes were full of helplessness and despair. They needed help, but they didn't know who to turn to.The medical personnel in the camp were very limited and could only care for the most seriously injured soldiers as much as possible.

In the camp, the wounded soldiers had no privacy. They could only be exposed to the cold wind and endure the effects of bad weather and disease.Their food and water supplies are also very limited, and many suffer from worsening conditions due to lack of nutrients and water.

In the wounded barracks, there was no safety and security, and many soldiers died because they could not receive timely treatment.Bodies were dumped haphazardly in corners of the camp, and the entire camp exuded a suffocating stench and a sad atmosphere.

The wounded barracks are constantly eroding the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the camp.

War is a cruel game, and the top decision-makers are a group of dirty players.

However, this time they lost.

Can't fight anymore!
This was the opinion of all the leaders present.

If we continue to fight, all of Erlang will be dead. Now the morale of the army is slack, and the combat effectiveness is less than 8% of what it was when we first went south. Today's strong attack has exhausted the last bit of military morale. If the strong attack tomorrow is still too long, Erlang of the tribe will mutiny, and then the Han army will be behind him. The cavalry rushed in, and the [-] horses heading south were really gone.

Although Tan Shihuai was sitting in the chief position, he found that for the first time since he became the Great Chanyu, the people under his command did not listen to him and began to lose their support.

Not only was the house stolen, but the people under his command were also likely to rebel after returning home.

This time, for the defeat going south, someone needs to stand up and take the blame, and he is the most suitable person.

After thinking about this, Tan Shihuai closed his eyes in pain, "Tomorrow, Ju Que will go to the Han camp with my talisman letter to negotiate with the Han people. As long as the Han people let my army pass, Xianbei will not invade the Central Plains for ten years from now on." Chanyu!"

After listening to Tan Shihuai's words, Que Ju knelt down on one knee. He wanted to give him some advice, "Great Chanyu, we will attack again at the end of tomorrow and we will definitely capture Yanmen Mountain!"

"Don't you even listen to my orders?"

Tan Shihuai's eyes were red and he asked sternly, "Queju cannot be attacked with the existing 3000 troops."

Que Ju looked around at the other tribal leaders sitting around him. They were all sitting there at the moment, but no one dared to stand up!

"Humph!"

Que Ju snorted coldly and walked out of the tent, ashamed to be with them.

Head south on the 16th.

Liu Han got up early in Qiangyin City. He received the battle report yesterday. The Xianbei people attacked Yanmen Pass desperately. The pressure on Han Dang was great. If the enemy is still as crazy as yesterday, Yanmen Pass will probably be lost. .

"Master Duan, if the Xianbei people are still like this today, I will lead the cavalry to crush them, otherwise the pressure on Han Dang will be too great."

"Well," Duan Juan nodded, "Tanshihuai is a trapped beast still fighting. It's a pity that the original arrangement was not perfect, otherwise it would really be possible to eat the Xianbei people who went south in one go this time."

Duan Juan thought to himself that if there were 2000 more people in Yanmen Pass, it would be impossible for Tan Shihuai to capture it.

"The main reason is that Tan Shihuai was too cautious. The Yin Pavilion's attack was delayed, so he immediately turned around and headed north. We didn't cause much damage to him there."

At this time, Xu Huang ran in with the information and smiled widely, "Lord, good news, good news!"

"Okay! Well done to Xu Rong and Huang Zhong!"

After reading the battle report, Liu Han was immediately overjoyed and started to attack, "Xu Rong and Huang Zhong successfully attacked Danhan Mountain five days ago according to the original plan. Although they don't know the specific gains, judging from the supplies they brought back, I'm afraid they were There are only mountains left in Danhan Mountain. Hahahahahaha!"

What Liu Han had in his hands was Xu Rong and Huang Zhong's six-hundred-mile expedited battle report. They found that they had arrived at Gaoliu and divided their troops into two groups. There were 5000 people along the way, including 870 wounded soldiers. Xu Rong returned with the loot. Yin Pavilion, another group of 5000 people, led by Huang Zhong, came directly to the rear of Yanmen Pass to support the operation.

"Hehehe" Duan Juan also laughed after reading the battle report. There was someone to succeed the big man. "No wonder that old thief Tan Shihuai tried his best to attack Yanmen Pass yesterday. He must have known that Danhan Mountain was burned."

"Yes, Huang Zhong and the others arrived at Gaoliu yesterday. The distance from Gaoliu to Yanmen Pass is only a hundred miles. They will arrive tonight. Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Army will arrive here in about two days. By then we will be here There are [-] fighting soldiers nearby, and it is possible to eat the remaining people!"

Duan Juan and Xu Huang both nodded. The most important thing now is time. As long as it is delayed for one more day, when Huang Zhong and the others arrive, the initiative will be completely in Liu Han's hands.

Suddenly, the messenger came to report, "Report!!! A Xianbei leader came from outside the city, holding a talisman and calling himself Queju. He is the envoy sent by the Xianbei Great Chanyu and wants to see General Zhenbei."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

The young general on the side spoke first: "The opportunity has come."
