The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 961 Going deep into the hinterland, a game of nine deaths (subscription required)

Landed in the circle of destiny?
Tianxinjian's statement drew laughter from the crowd beside him.

"It's really in the circle of destiny."

Another core member of the Sky Crystal Alliance, the lord of Ju Mie City Shifang Ju Mie nodded: "We don't need to run back and forth, and we don't need to rush to the forefront of the Danshui defense line to kill the enemy, unless Bai Qi doesn't want to open up a battlefield and just wants to fight hard." Damn, as long as he dares to send troops to attack, we can pay him off. Even if he really doesn't come, it will definitely be more convenient for us to come when the previous fights are almost done."

"That's right, that's the reason."

"This time, we have a lot of advantages. Dream City is fighting on two fronts, and the troops sent here are estimated to be second-rate troops. Judging from the news received in the past few days, the Dreamer side should still go to Daqin. We just took this opportunity to avenge the last time."

Everyone in the Sky Crystal Alliance nodded one after another, all looking extremely relaxed.

After inspecting the defense area of ​​the city wall that belonged to them together, they returned to the camp separately.

When several lords returned to the camp to sleep, the crescent moon gradually hung high on the top.

The front camp of the Qin army.

Thirty thousand cavalry reined in their horses and waited. Meng Ao and Lord Wu An had a drink together in front of the gate of the camp, and immediately got on their horses.

With a wave of his right hand, many cavalry immediately set off.

Looking at the [-] cavalry marching far away in the silent night, I couldn't help but feel moved when I wrote: "Mr. Wu An, if this battle is won, Meng Ao will take the lead."

"Although I, General Qin, fight for meritorious service, I also have the ambition to serve the country."

Bai Qi slowly uttered a sentence, his eyes showed the meaning of decisive victory: "For the Qin country, why fear death, Meng Ao has little chance of surviving this way, he has no regrets, and this general has no regrets. You just wait for my general order, and you can fight at any time." Get ready to go."

"The last general takes orders!"

.........

After leaving the camp and heading northeast, Meng Ao's face changed from the feeling of departure to calm water.At this moment, he no longer considered the issue of personal safety, but began to ponder how to fulfill Wu Anjun's order.

It is not difficult for the army to cross the river valley, but once exposed to Changping Pass, there is no secret about the whereabouts of this cavalry.

"General Ridge, Hanwang Mountain."

"There are troops stationed at each of the eight passes and passes of Taihang."

A sketch of the east side of the Taihang River that I wrote today as a gift echoed in my mind, and Meng Ao knew very well that this trip could be described as a difficult and difficult one.

But so what?
As a general under Lord Wu An, since Lord Wu An wants to stir up troubles in the enemy's hinterland, he must not let Lord Wu An and the state of Qin down.

"Even if it is a narrow escape, I, Meng Ao, will make a breakthrough." Having made up his mind in his heart, Meng Ao's expression became more determined.

Two hours later, the vanguard of the army crossed the river smoothly.

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and Meng Ao, who had been leading the troops in the front line, could already see the Changping juncture.

Seeing that Changping Pass was close at hand, Meng Ao calmed down and waved his hand to signal his subordinate Xiaowei to lead five thousand riders to pass to check the movement.

And the five thousand riders were discovered by the secret sentry of the Sky Crystal Alliance before they could get close to the gate.

In a short while, the pass was full of flames of war.

Even on the two nearby hills, there were soldiers and horses waving their flags, and there was a faint tendency to encircle Meng Ao's army.

At this time, the vanguard captain also retreated, clasped his fists and said: "General, the Changping Pass is very heavily guarded, and the last general just passed by was shot by random arrows."

Meng Ao was not surprised and asked, "Can you see how many soldiers and horses there are at the top of the city?"

"It's densely packed with human heads, probably no less than ten thousand."

"Go, follow me to find the way to the south." Meng Ao immediately waved his hand and gave the order without saying a word, while he led more than [-] horses to stay at the end of the formation.

With Meng Ao's departure, Tianxinjian and others who had just boarded the Changping juncture had question marks in their hearts.

Go so simply?

Except for five thousand tentative soldiers and horses, the rest of the army deliberately stopped outside the encirclement.

Didn't plan to attack in the first place?
Before Tianxinjian could make a sneak attack, a messenger came to it quickly: "General, the Lord will send troops to intercept the invading Qin army. Be sure to find out why the Qin army crossed the river."

"okay, I get it."

Tianxinjian nodded immediately. Although he is the person with the most soldiers and horses in the pass, he is not the chief general of the Changping pass guard. At this moment, he ordered the general and looked behind him:

"Uncle Fu, Fu Yi, the two of you lead [-] troops, and take the mountain road to intercept the Qin army."

"The last general obeys!" The two generals of Tianjing City clasped their fists immediately, one of them was He Ruobi, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and the other was Ji Ling, a general of the late Han Dynasty.

The two led the troops out of the pass, and instead of chasing directly along the winding path ahead, they went straight up the mountain path to the peak.

It has been several days since he came to Changping Pass, and He Ruobi already knows the surrounding terrain like the palm of his hand.There is no wide avenue at the Changping Pass, and the cavalry crossing the border is just looking for death.

When He Ruobi and Ji Ling crossed two hills along the mountain road, they happened to collide with Meng Ao who was slowly retreating.

Being condescending, He Ruobi would not be polite with Meng Ao, he didn't even need to say hello, he just waved his hand and let the archer draw his bow to shoot.

Meng Ao has been paying attention to the movements around him, and when He Ruobi was about to make a move, he just gave an order.

Abandon the horse and go up the mountain.

This is also thanks to the surrounding mountains and mountains, but not any cliffs.Charged up from the foot of the mountain, Meng Ao took the lead.

"court death!"

Seeing this, He Ruobi and Ji Ling immediately sneered.

The cavalry has no horses and still wants to attack their own troops with a terrain disadvantage?

Simply ridiculous.

The two of them didn't think that Meng Ao had any chance, they were still directing the archers to shoot.But after dismounting, the Qin army went through a period of turmoil, but held up their shields and advanced steadily upwards, with almost no discomfort at all.

Such a performance is not due to the strength of the cavalry of the Qin army.

It can only be said that the cavalry of the Warring States Period is more aptly called 'infantry on horseback'.

War horses are only used as a fast-moving tool, and no special cavalry assault force has yet been formed. Even Zhao Guo, who rides and shoots in Hufu, mostly slows down or even stops when riding and shooting.

Although there will inevitably be casualties in the battle from the bottom to the top, but when Meng Ao led the elite Qin army to the front of the Tianjing City army, there were still more than [-] of the [-] soldiers who could stand the battle.

The five thousand Qin soldiers held shields in their left hands and knives in their right hands, and when they entered the group of archers who had changed their formation in a hurry, they slashed and killed.Meng Ao led a small group of people straight to where Ji Ling was, and after a while, two long knives started fighting.

Ji Ling is brave and brave, but Meng Ao is even more determined to die.

The two were fighting, even if He Ruobi wanted to get involved, it was not so easy.

And Meng Ao's bravery also led to the offensive of the Qin army's soldiers. The scene of five thousand against ten thousand seemed to be encircling Tianjing City's soldiers and horses. .

Kill from the west of the mountain to the east, and then back to the south from the east.

After fighting for nearly an hour, although less than [-]% of the eight thousand Qin troops stood still, they also severely damaged the enemy in front of them.

While fighting with Ji Ling, Meng Ao had to take care of the surrounding battle situation, and a cut was made on his shoulder. Seeing that the trail was in front of him, he pushed Ji Ling away with all his strength, and then turned around and retreated down the mountain.

"let's go!"

The road to the south officially begins at this moment.
