Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 245
The aftermath of the war was presented so naked in front of everyone, with unspeakable compassion and regret.The [-] troops entered through the pass of Baiyun Pass, and everyone mourned silently at the sight of depression.

Entering Baiyun Pass, walking into the hinterland of the large military camp, one can see the low-spirited and sad faces of the troops stationed in the pass.It was the whole break time, and they sat in groups of two or three outside the camp, gathered together, and lit a bonfire together to keep warm.Everyone had a lost look on their faces, and some people sighed from time to time, and there was no morale in their pupils.

When the turbulent sound of the [-] army's marching came, the remnants stationed in Baiyun Pass who had been resting all looked over one after another. After being surprised, they were violently delighted.

Compared with these soldiers who were physically and mentally exhausted after several battles, although the [-] troops who had traveled long distances from the upper capital were also exhausted, they were not many times better than them.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming!"

Someone outside the camp saw the mighty support army first, and shouted excitedly.

With this shout, all the soldiers outside the camp looked over, and their low and ashen faces were filled with joy in an instant.

Those soldiers stationed at Baiyun Pass are steadfast, and they dare not let the Xiongnu step into Baiyun Pass, because they know that if Baiyun Pass loses power, the hinterland of Dalai will be opened to the Huns, and the country will be ruined and their families will be destroyed. Not only are they unable to survive, but even their wives, children, and parents far away in their hometown in Dalai are also suffering from bad luck.

After guarding for so many days, they were so tired that they couldn't lift their spirits any more. They were just fighting and killing with their last will.No one knows whether he will fall down in the next moment, and no one knows whether his rear is being peeped by the enemy when he pierces the enemy's chest with his sharp sword.

Fortunately, there was still time, everything was still too late, the emperor finally sent troops to support them!

Compared with the soldiers who were staring at them with twinkling eyes, the three generals who rushed out to watch after hearing the cheers of the soldiers in the camp were even more excited.

The head coach is a middle-aged man in his early forties. He is wearing a silver armor. When he saw the [-] army triumphant from a distance, he sighed with joy and looked at the soldiers standing at the front of the army. Wearing a four-clawed python gold robe, Xia Qin, who was inlaid with extravagance and a golden crown and jade silk, was so excited that he almost knelt down on the spot, and his trembling voice was heard through the crowd like Xia Qing's ears.

"His Royal Highness, you have finally arrived with reinforcements. I have been waiting for you here for many days, and I am looking forward to seeing you!"

The general's voice was trembling with excitement, but when he looked healthy, Xia Qin's brows could not help frowning.

"General Huai, when this crown prince entered Baiyun Pass just now, he saw the mess in the city. He knew that the soldiers were really tired from the battle with the Huns, but even if you fought hard with the Huns for days, you shouldn't be in this situation. If you are so slack, as soldiers defending the Dalai frontier, you must always put on a dignified appearance in front of the enemy, if the Huns come to attack Baiyu Pass at this time, how will you have time to fight with your entire army!"

When Xia Qin originally saw the shocking scars outside Baiyun Pass, he still felt a little sad.But seeing the soldiers stationed at the frontier being so lazy at the moment, Xia Qin became a little angry in an instant.

General Huai was originally very happy that Xia Qin brought the army to support him, but now he heard Xia Qin scolding him as soon as he met him, and he felt a little embarrassed.They had fought so hard against the Huns for so long, and their nearly [-] troops suffered heavy losses, almost losing half of their troops on the frontier, and their hearts were devastated.

But now they have finally waited for the imperial reinforcements that they have been looking forward to every day, but Xia Qin's attitude is obviously disappointing. Chilling.

"minister"

The coach, General Huai, hadn't had time to answer, but he heard a low, muffled sound of a horn suddenly coming from a distant place beyond the high wall, one after another mournful whimpering, followed by the sound of heavy hammers, accompanied by rustling Fuck and drink, coming with a mighty momentum like overwhelming mountains and seas.

General Huai and the generals all changed their faces when they heard such a voice, and they let go for a moment, and soon their hearts tightened again.

"Not good. The Huns are coming again!"

General Huai shouted, and immediately called on the soldiers to regroup and prepare for the battle.

The soldiers rushed to line up with panicked expressions, and Xia Qin immediately dispatched all the [-] elite soldiers he had brought to help the defenders fight against the enemy.

At this time, it was dark night, and the fierce trampling sound of the Xiongnu army gradually approached.

A group of soldiers from the Dalai Kingdom also rushed to their positions in the shortest possible time, helping to guard various places in Baiyun Pass.Bows and arrows, swords, spears, all weapons glowed with a gloomy cold light, just waiting for the moment when they were thirsty for blood.

Rows of strong master soldiers with chopping axes stood guard on the well-defended city tower. They looked vigilantly into the vast mist and listened to the sound of the horn that came out more and more clearly, knowing that the team was getting stronger and stronger. As he got closer, he was holding the knife and ax tightly in his hand, and sweat was faintly oozing out.

The reinforcements who came from Shangjing were not familiar with the battle situation at Baiyun Pass. Xiaqin dispatched [-] elite soldiers to act, [-] to defend the city of Baiyun Pass, and [-] to fight in the front line. Hun army.

But after a while, the shouts of the Xiongnu army had already reached everyone's front door.

I saw countless Hun troops riding war horses and holding square halberds, galloping aggressively towards the gate of Baiyunguan.The leading rider was a burly man in crimson armor, with a bloodthirsty cold light in his long and narrow eyes, and he swiped the square halberd in the air, and shouted: "My sons of the Huns! , Baiyun Pass is right in front of us, as long as we take this city, we will own the rich land and all supplies of Dalai Kingdom! We will no longer have to worry about starving and freezing in winter! If any of you are the first Climb up the city gate and take the first blood test after opening the gate, this king rewards him with a title and thousands of gold and silver!"

The burly man in the lead is Huerhe, the main battle general guarding the front of the Huns.

As soon as Huerhe's voice fell, the Xiongnu army raised their weapons in high spirits and shouted to kill.The loud gongs and drums seemed to shatter the gate of Baiyun Pass.

Xia Qin and the others were standing on the gate of Baiyun Pass at this time, looking at the huge army of Huns below, even though they came from the royal family, they had never seen such a real battle situation, and they couldn't help being a little horrified.

"I'm afraid there are nearly 3 Huns with so many soldiers." Xia Zijin frowned. He said that the Huns were fierce and warlike, and they were good at defending against the enemy immediately. , is undoubtedly a very troublesome matter.

Xia Zijin's words made Xia Qin sneer with disdain. He turned his eyes and said to Xia Zijin, "What are you afraid of? We just brought 3 elite soldiers from Shangjing. Are you afraid that it will be just [-] soldiers?" People can't make it."

General Huai listened to him, cupped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, the Xiongnu army is very fierce. I have led the garrison at Baiyun Pass for so long, and I have already seen how powerful they are. Their tactics on horseback are very powerful, even if only 3 Thousands of horses are really not to be underestimated!"

"So what, are our Dalai soldiers inferior to the Xiongnu army? This time they dared to attack aggressively in front of the prince, and they must look good to them. The prince has sent the left and right forwards to lead [-] elite troops to station each. Blocking under the city gate, leading another [-] elite soldiers to hold bows and arrows, prepare kerosene, and put rolling stones on the city gate. The prince does not believe that they can gain any momentum under such a dense defense.

Xia Zijin looked at Xia Qin's arrogant and confident appearance, and couldn't help shaking his head.

You must know that underestimating the enemy is the most taboo before marching in formation. Even if the opponent's number of troops is nearly half that of your own, it does not rule out the possibility that the opponent has the right time and place to reverse the situation.

Once he miscalculates because of underestimating the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he will not only lose his own reputation, but also tens of millions of lives underneath.

"His Royal Highness, according to this princess, it is better to be cautious in this battle. Although we brought fifty thousand elite soldiers from Da Lai, after a long journey of more than ten days, they are definitely not in a state of energy. If we want to fight against the Xiongnu army at this time, I am afraid that we will not be able to take advantage of it. It is better to have a regular battle and drive them back first, and it will not be too late to fight after we have finished our rest."

General Huai nodded in agreement with Xia Zijin's words, and the others had no objections.

Xia Qin was displeased. As the prince himself, he was the one who led the reinforcements to support him. Xia Zijin was just a girl. Although she was a princess, she had no place to speak when marching and fighting.

"The benevolence of a woman!" Xia Qin snorted coldly, and said: "We Dalai soldiers have always been terrified, so how can we be afraid of mere Huns? Just wait and see, this battle is fought by the prince to assist the army. In the first battle at Baiyun Pass, they will definitely make them run away with their heads in their hands, and regret this encounter!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Qin then yelled at the commanding officer. "Get on the Rolling Stones!""

Following Xiaqin's order, the soldiers and generals below took the order loudly, and one by one pushed the rolling stones weighing hundreds of catties onto the brackets, and only waited for the Huns to push them down in one go when they rushed to the city gate. , smashed at the Xiongnu army column.

On the other side of the Xiongnu army, following Huerhe's order, they also rushed up clamorously. The two armies are about to fight, and all parties are armed with weapons, and their eyes are scarlet.
