The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 328 Unifying Kansai

The Gobi desert is scorching sun and silver sand, and the breeze blows outside Yumen Pass, rolling up the dust and drifting away. After the dust passes, a black shadow appears in the haze, densely dense as if appearing on the ground out of thin air.

The neat and well-organized Quartet Army formation is the Taiping Army in black armor.

Gan Ning, who was leading the army, looked up at Yumen Pass, waved his hand indifferently, and ordered to attack.

The spirit of killing permeates the world, and the beating of drums vibrates to inspire the morale of the army.

The Taiping army from all directions flocked to the Yumen Pass like a black dragon entering the sea. The archers in the front line shot arrows towards the city while running. Behind them were soldiers carrying ladders to the bottom of the city wall. Covered by a shield, they were calm and orderly, advancing and retreating in a well-regulated manner.

Standing at the Yumen Pass and supervising the battle, Han Sui seemed to have grown old instantly after a winter. His rough face was covered with wrinkles, his white hair was disheveled, his silver whiskers fluttered in the wind, and his eyes looking down at the Taiping Army outside the city were full of sadness.

Guo Jia didn't give him a chance to stand up. He thought that hiding in Yumen Pass would make the Taiping Army withdraw last winter, which would give him at least a few months to half a year to regroup, but the Taiping Army was stationed in Guangzhi City, Dunhuang County for the winter, and Unremittingly paying attention to the movement of Yumen Pass, Han Sui was cornered.

Right now, there is no way out.

The food and grass were exhausted, and the morale of the army was shattered. Han Sui knew that Yumen Pass would not be able to stop the Taiping army from attacking for three days.

Looking back at the western sky, Han Sui seemed to be hesitating.

Escape?

Laughing at himself, Han Sui was disheartened. Even if he escaped from Yumen Pass to the west, he would still be dying, which was meaningless.

Now there are only three generals who are still with Han Sui, the candidate Cheng Yin, and his son-in-law Yan Xing.

The Taiping Army attacked the city in the early morning, and the battle lasted until noon. The difference in casualties between the two sides was not large, but the resistance and fighting spirit of Han Sui's subordinates were gradually declining.

Han Sui, who was standing at the top of the city with a long knife, closed his eyes and remained motionless. There was a brutal fight under the city, and he was unmoved by the heart-piercing screams and shouts of killing coming from his ears.

Cheng Yin, who was wearing armor, came behind Han Sui with the candidate, but they stared at each other as they came, and winked to make the other speak. After a long stalemate, the candidate spoke.

"My lord, if the current situation continues, Yumen Pass may be breached before sunset. I hope the lord will make a decision soon."

Han Sui remained motionless and silent.

The candidate and Cheng Yin looked at each other, and when Cheng Yin opened his mouth to persuade him again, Han Sui suddenly said, "I'm old, and even if I don't die today, I'm about to die. You're still middle-aged, come from the other side of Guancheng." Go out and surrender to Gan Xingba, Guo Fengxiao wants to win people's hearts, he will never kill you, he is aggressive, he just wants my life."

When a person is about to die, his words are also kind. Han Sui opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. The clouds are like dragons, melting with the wind.

Candidate and Cheng Yin were sweating coldly.

They came to persuade Han Sui to make a decision early. In fact, the two had already discussed in private that Han Sui wanted to resist the Taiping Army, and they could not accompany him to die.Han Sui was about to leave the pass and flee westward, and they certainly would not continue to suffer.The only way, they hope Han Sui can take the initiative to surrender.

It's just that they didn't want to understand one thing.

Han Sui is the monarch and the number one sinner Guo Jia issued a campaign against. Han Sui's fate is already doomed.

As Han Sui's subordinate, the candidate Cheng Yin can surrender. Whether he will be rich and honored in the rest of his life depends on good fortune and luck. At least Yang Qiu's surrendered generals are doing well now, neither being beheaded for public display nor becoming a prisoner. Instead, he took the salary given by Guo Jia as a school lieutenant, and his life was quite stable.

This is also the reason why Candidate and Cheng Yin wanted to surrender. They were the leaders of the trilogy in the Northwest, but they were subdued by Han Sui.

But now, Han Sui didn't surrender himself, but let the two of them go out of the city to surrender.

This approach is intriguing.

Is it the words of the heart or a kind of temptation?

The two hesitated and exchanged glances, seeing each other's panic.

Han Sui!

A person with no faith at all!

He is a ruthless person who has been known to kill his own people since he dominated the Northwest!
Bian Zhang, Li Wenhou, Beigong Boyu, Ma Teng and other allied comrades-in-arms, Han Sui stabbed one to death and stabbed the next...

Candidate and Cheng Yin were afraid that Han Sui would cut off his head as soon as they agreed to come down at this time, but if they supported Han Sui against the Taiping Army or fled to the west of Yumen Pass, wouldn't it be a coincidence?
He didn't hear the sound of leaving footsteps behind him, so Han Sui said softly again: "Let's go, it's far better to leave the city and surrender at this time than to surrender after the city is broken."

This makes sense. Now that the city is not broken, it is an initiative to surrender.

Waiting for the city to be broken before surrendering is passive, not surrendering is death.

The two candidates, Cheng Yin and Cheng Yin, were covered in cold sweat. Under the scorching sun, their backs were wet with cold sweat. Cheng Yin's eyes turned hard, and the candidate swallowed his saliva and nodded when he saw it.

铿

A crisp sound of weapons came from behind, Han Sui knew something was wrong, but it was too late.

叱

A scimitar protruded from his chest, and it was the first time for Han Sui to watch the blood rolling so closely, especially from his own chest.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The pain had already numb Han Sui, and when the scimitar fell to the ground, he laughed maniacally.

Cheng Yin was startled, and let go of the hand holding the knife. Seeing that Han Sui was pierced by the knife from the back without shaking, he neither screamed nor fell down. Cheng Yin mistakenly thought that Han Sui was a ghost leaning over, staggered and fell, and Cheng Yin kept crawling backwards with his butt on the ground.

In fact, Han Sui had already spit out a lot of blood, and his eyes were gradually dimming. Before he died, he just wanted to look back at the murderer. If he still had the strength to speak, he would tell the two of them: I have been a little girl all my life. People, only today is a gentleman.

But just as he twisted half his body, a huge impact came from the side.

The candidate was also heartbroken, but when he saw that Han Sui was about to turn around, he rushed up and pushed Han Sui out of the city wall.

Han Sui flew out obliquely, hit the city wall with his waist and fell down, blood splashed from the air, Han Sui turned his back to the sky, and his powerful body fell down.

The blue sky was full of clouds, and Han Sui seemed to see faces one after another in the clouds. They were all the enemies he had killed all his life.

When Ma Teng's face appeared in front of his eyes, Han Sui's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened.

Reaching out his hand as if to touch Ma Teng who was snarling at him with a ferocious expression, Han Sui muttered to himself.

"Brother Shoucheng, you and I have been fighting for half our lives. You were wrong, and I was wrong. When Guo Fengxiao entered Guanzhong, if you and I had joined forces to block him in Chencang, how could I have ended up in such a mess today? And just take a look. Today’s Ma’er, your Ma family will serve the Guo family from generation to generation! Brother Shoucheng! Do you obey? Your Ma family is not a loyal minister of the Han family after all! It’s a slave to the Han bandits!”

boom!
Han Sui fell from the sky and landed with a bang!
The dust rose around his corpse and then drifted away, and the people around him stopped moving and focused on it.

Half of his body fell into the dust due to the gravity of the fall. Han Sui died on his back, with a scimitar pierced through his chest in the middle of his chest, and blood beads slipped from the blade.

"Lord!"

Yan Xing, who was commanding the defense at the top of the city, naturally noticed the eerie tranquility of the battlefield where Han Sui fell.

The Taiping army surrounded Han Sui's body, and Yan Xing could see it clearly from the condescending height. Judging from the body shape, clothing and the place where it fell, the body was undoubtedly Han Sui.

Tears welled up in Yan Xing's eyes, and there were mixed feelings in Yan Xing's heart.

He was forced by Han Sui to be his door-to-door son-in-law, but Han Sui treated him generously after all.

He has been with Han Sui longer than the others.

With tears in his eyes, Yan Xing looked at the top of the city where Han Sui fell from the side of the wall, vaguely saw Cheng Yin and the candidate running away in a hurry, roared, Yan Xing ordered the soldiers to follow him to hunt down the candidate Cheng Yin to avenge Han Sui .

The situation at Yumen Pass changed suddenly, and civil strife broke out suddenly!

Although the gate of Yumenguan was not opened, the soldiers of the Taiping Army had moved forward unimpeded. The soldiers climbed up the tower like several long snakes along the ladder.

A soldier ahead brought Han Sui's body back and presented it to Gan Ning.

Before Gan Ning rode his horse, Zhang Liao, Meng Da, and Ma Chao also rushed over. The four looked down at the blood-stained corpse, and remained silent for a long time.

I don't know why, at this moment, Ma Chao's heart is not full of revenge, but rather sad.

After all, Han Sui did not die by his hands, not even by the Taiping Army.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the inexplicable grievances and entanglements between the Han and Ma families officially disappeared at this moment.

Ma Chao raised his head and closed his eyes, completely freed from the shackles in his heart, and no hatred in his heart controlled his rationality any more.

future
A man who has made great achievements and made a name for himself is a godsend stage in troubled times!
Gan Ning waved his hands to let the corpse be carried down, then turned his horse's head to face the [-] soldiers who had not yet dispatched, and shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order, capture Yumen Pass, and charge!"

The head of the Yumen Pass has been controlled by the Taiping army, and the shouts and killings in the pass are loud, and the gate of the pass city has already been opened from the inside.

Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Meng Da led their troops to charge.

Tens of thousands of troops came drifting like black clouds, overwhelming the city!
The thundering sound of horseshoes shook the ground, and the silver-feathered flying cavalry entered through the gate of Guancheng. The iron hooves shook, and the people around Guancheng couldn't even stand firmly.

The fighting in Yumen Pass ceased soon after the entire Taiping Army rushed in.

The setting sun is like blood, and the silver sand is endless.

The tall and mighty Gan Ning walked up to the top of the wall and listened to Meng Da's report.

"Governor, Han Sui was killed by the candidate and Cheng Yin in a sneak attack. Afterwards, the pass fell into chaos. The two had an internal fight with Yan Xing. Cheng Yin and the candidate were killed by Yan Xing. Died in battle, 130 people in the city surrendered to the enemy, and the rest were killed."

After hearing this, Gan Ning turned solemnly, and turned towards the southeast, behind thousands of mountains and rivers, was Chengdu.

Kneeling down on one knee, Gan Ning took off his helmet and lowered his head slightly.

"The last general congratulates the lord for unifying Kansai!"

Behind Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Meng Da and a dozen school captains also knelt down on one knee following Gan Ning's movements, bowed their heads and clasped their hands, and their voices pierced the sky.

"Congratulations, my lord, for dominating Kansai!"
