Chapter 713: Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky, Broken Limbs and Arms Fly Across the Sky

On the west side of Tongguan, the sun was rising higher.

A small watchtower standing on a mountain wall somewhere.

"Oh, why are you so nervous? Why don't you come and give me a hand?"

Sentinel B, who was on duty, pulled the rope and climbed up with difficulty. He saw Sentinel A on the tower staring blankly at the top of the mountain and became furious:

"Every time I climb this damn place, it kills me. If you don't help me, I'll be dead, and you'll have to go and explain to the village chief and the others tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Sentinel A suddenly woke up from his dream, quickly put down his weapon, and turned around to help pull the rope:
"Sorry, sorry, I saw something strange on the mountain, and I was distracted."

Sentinel A explained as he helped.

"Strange things? What strange things can there be in this desolate mountain? It must be a bird or an eagle!"

Sentinel B, who was on duty, climbed to the top of the tower and complained angrily:
"General Dong is not in his right mind. He wants to set up a sentry tower on such a high mountain."

"How many brothers have given their lives for these ten or so pieces of junk?"

"The slope here is still easy to climb. If we go to the other side of the pass, it will be really scary!"

Sentinel A couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.

Everyone knows that the view from a high place is good, but climbing up such a cliff to set up a watchtower is indeed a thankless task.

"Even if there are some extraordinary people who can climb up, what good are they with just a few people?"

Sentinel B pulled the kettle hanging on the side, took a sip, and wiped his mouth:

“Rather than worrying about the mountain, it’s better to worry about going down the mountain.”

"When I came here just now, I saw some unusual movements in the bandit camp, as if they were gathering troops."

"There is a shortage of manpower inside the pass right now. If a war really breaks out, the outcome will be uncertain."

"If you say so, I think you are worrying too much, brother."

Sentinel A finally found an opportunity to retort:

"We have more than 2,000 people guarding the Tongguan Iron Wall. Do you think that's not enough?"

"You can't hold off an army of tens of thousands for a month or so?"

"Besides, the battles below should be fought by the people below."

"What does it have to do with us?"

"At worst, when they can't hold on any longer, we can just run to the back mountain over there. Who can catch us then?"

As he spoke, Sentinel A nudged Sentinel B with his shoulder, smacked his lips and said:

"Brother, let me tell you, I have figured out the way behind the mountain over there."

"I have already put a rope there. There is a platform down there. Then if we walk this way and that, we can go around the back of the mountain."

"There is a village not far down there."

"If there is any unexpected event in the battle of Tongguan, we will call the brothers who are guarding the mountain and go down together to slaughter them on the spot."

Sentinel A made a gesture of wiping his neck:

"When the time comes, we can divide the money, food and women among us. Whether we take the opportunity to occupy the mountain and make a big move during the war, or just go home, it's all good things."

Sentinel B raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was obviously very interested:
"I didn't expect you to be so smart. You even found a way out. It's not in vain that you have been following the village chief for so long."

Upon hearing this, Sentinel A also grinned and laughed smugly.

Having said that, the two were no longer in a hurry to change guards, and instead began to enjoy their wonderful future life.

The world is in chaos now, and any soldier can become a king. Compared to dying under the command of Dong Zhuo's army which suffers defeat after defeat, many of these soldiers have obviously come up with other ideas.

It is common for them to use their organized violence to bully honest farmers, to burn, kill, and loot, to occupy land and become kings, or to join more promising forces.

Historically, after Dong Zhuo's defeat, his remnant soldiers and generals turned into a group of defeated troops, turning the fertile land of Guanzhong Plain into a barren land and causing economic collapse.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Dong Zhuo", in Chang'an at that time, one dou of grain (about 120 kilograms today) sold for coins! One dou of beans and wheat also sold for coins.

Such a surge in food prices led to an unprecedented famine, leaving behind records of "people eating each other" in the historical records. It was precisely because of such a catastrophe in Guanzhong that Emperor Xian of Han and others later risked their lives to return to the east.

However, Su Yao would obviously not allow such historical tragedies to happen again.

"its not right!"

Sentinel A suddenly exclaimed:
"There seems to be something on the mountain. It flashed my eyes just now."

Upon hearing this, Sentinel B frowned and followed Sentinel A to look up the mountain.

Just then, the two finally saw it.

What panicked Sentinel A was the reflection of the cold arrow in the sunlight.

On the top of the ridge not far away, a red-robed figure suddenly appeared, holding a longbow and aiming steadily at the watchtower.

"Enemy attack!" Sentinel A and Sentinel B exclaimed almost at the same time, and their faces turned pale in an instant.

However, it was too late.

As the red-robed figure loosened his fingers, two sharp arrows were fired at the same time. They cut through the sky, making a sharp sound of breaking wind, and headed straight for the watchtower.

The arrow was as fast as the wind. Before Sentry B could even make a move, it pierced through his eye socket. He fell on his back with a thud and was no longer able to make any sound.

Sentinel A was prepared in advance so he wasn't frightened, but that was only enough time for him to instinctively raise the small wooden shield on his arm to try to block the fierce attack.

However, the arrow's power was beyond imagination. It penetrated the shield and pierced his forehead.
"No no no no."

Sentinel A widened his eyes, shook his body, looked at the hole in the shield in disbelief, touched the arrow feathers on his forehead, and saw blood instantly flowed onto his fingers.

He opened his mouth, trying to make a sound.

However, this time he could no longer utter any words. After uttering two weak gasps, he weakly knelt on the watchtower and died in agony.

In the end, his dream of escaping sanctions and wreaking havoc on the countryside was shattered before he could even carry it out.

Su Yao, who shot and killed the two men, didn't even bother to say a word "rubbish" and quickly seized the watchtower.

Here, Su Yao picked up the arrows dropped by the two people, and immediately launched an attack on other nearby watchtowers.

In a short while, the mountaintop defense line that Dong Yue had worked so hard to set up was destroyed by him in broad daylight.

However, Su Yao did not break through directly from here and enter the pass. Instead, he took the initiative to let the sentinels trigger the alarm on the mountain and then evacuated quietly.

After handing over the front line to Lu Bu and others, Su Yao chose to go down the mountain along the road described by Sentinel A.

There, he could go around the back of Tongguan, avoid the front and flank battlefields, and attack unexpectedly to give the remnants of Dong's army a little shock.

"No, it's impossible!"

"Where did he come from?!"

"This is our back door!!!"

Sima Guo, who was guarding the city, not only had to deal with the threat from Lu Bu and others in front, but also had to divide his troops to guard against the invisible killers on the mountains on the flanks.

The two thousand soldiers were divided and stretched thin, so it was natural that there were loopholes in the defense of the back door.

The patrol soldiers standing guard on the city walls would never have dreamed that a red-robed killer would suddenly fall from the sky above them.

Immediately, they were killed and their horses were thrown to the ground, and their army was completely routed.

Su Yao was like a flash of red lightning, running wildly along the cliff, brandishing his Mo Dao and rushing down like thunder.

Almost in an instant, the soldiers approaching him were crushed or chopped in half.

For a moment, broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the sky. In the scarlet blood curtain, Su Yao's figure was like a ghost, invincible.

"Trash - go to hell!"

Su Yao’s roar sounded on the city wall.

What followed was a violent bloody storm.

He brandished his sword and ran wildly along the wall of this ancient city. Wherever he passed, the defenders on the city walls were like chickens and dogs, and collapsed in an instant. The victims wailed and the blood flowed like a river.
