Chapter 1114: The Legend of the Tiger Brigade in the Sky (Part 2)
On the banks of the Sanggan River at the northern foot of the Juzhu Mountain, a large army full of snowflakes fell from horses and snowflakes were also waiting quietly; and between the faint neighing and shaking of the mounts, the smoke and clouds formed by these people and horses even formed a thin mist in the valley.
I don’t know how long I waited, but suddenly a fire suddenly appeared on the hills in the distance, and it flashed out of thin air for several times. The next moment, the army, which was covered in frost and snow in silence, suddenly came to life, and with the torches that were lit one after another, it turned into a thick long dragon.
The long dragon composed of countless fire lights soon arrived in front of Yanmen Pass, which was shrouded in the dark and only a few dim lights reflected the white color of snow; and in front of them, the city wall that had blocked them many times and caused countless blood and corpses had already opened its doors.
Guided by many lighting torches on the four walls of the corridor, you can even see the many empty building outlines and defense facilities behind the door openings. It seems to be telling them invisibly that at this moment, Yanmen Pass is no longer on guard against them. Then, waves of Yan troops with helmets and armor poured into them.
They were like a cold wave raging in the wind and snow, quickly submerging and occupying everything and buildings that they could see in the north wall of Yanmen Pass. Then, they cleared out the corridor along the roughly, and welcomed a group of generals wearing bright light armor and mountain armor, riding a tall horse with big cloaks as bloody as they were behind the tall horse.
The one who was proud and looked at the middle was the old enemy of Li Keyong, the former King of Jin, and the enemy of life and death, the governor of Youzhou, and the King of Yan Li Keju. He looked at the big city that had changed hands, but he suddenly started to recite the frontier poet Cui Hao's song of the Hu Ren in Yanmen:
“Gaoshan Daijun connects to Yan in the east,
The Hu family in Yanmen is close to the border.
Liberate the eagle and chase the birds,
Can hunt Akita for horses..."
However, before he finished singing a seven-character quatrain, he suddenly saw a faint light of fire rising from the city block ahead. He was interrupted by the excitement and couldn't help but get angry secretly. You must know that the Yanmen Pass was the first stronghold and his foothold in the hinterland of Hedong, so he strictly ordered his soldiers not to burn and loot.
Otherwise, once all these houses and furnishings were burned, would his army be camping in the open air? However, before he could order the military law, the flames had quickly spread out and became more and more uncontrollable; then someone stumbled and fled with traces of smoke and fire, shouting at Li Keju's location:
"Be careful, there is an ambush..."
However, before he finished speaking, the left and right sides of the city were covered by snow, and on the hillside that seemed to be visible, many fires suddenly flipped around and then turned into rockets flying in the sky. Just as the Yan army led by Li Keju was quickly caught off guard and looked for a cover, many rockets fell in the preset position.
The next moment, on the roof, in the stables, and in the city walls, the fires that rose one after another illuminated the panic and insidious faces of these Yan soldiers, and also illuminated the figures of many ambushers hiding on the hillsides on both sides of the city; they rushed out almost all over the mountains from temporary shelters like snow nests built with group signs and rows.
While facing the Yan army, which was temporarily divided and separated by the rising flames in the city without any concealment, they desperately used bows and shot arrows to shoot several rounds; while they threw down their bows and arrows one after another, they snatched their swords and grabbed guns, held their cards and held their swords and snatched them into the outermost Yan army.
The one who was in the middle of the rushing front was the local Yanmen general led by Guo Shaogu, commander of the Feiteng Army. They were wearing helmets, armor, and their hands were lifting their swords and rushing left and right. Soon after, they dyed themselves blood-red, and their morale was greatly boosted and they forced Le Keju to the location where he was.
The reason is also very simple. They were guarding Yanmen Pass where the North Throat of the Dynasty was for several years. The Lulong army, the Yan army, who had already come to attack, formed a lot of deep hatred and blood. Once Yanmen changes hands, perhaps ordinary soldiers may still have the chance to be taken over, but few of them, the generals and their families, can survive.
The Yan army, who had already reacted at this moment, deserved to follow Li Keju's elite and strong soldiers who had fought in the pass and outside the border. They did not hesitate to pick up various objects on the spot, and even the burning door panels and wooden railings. In a very short time, they built several simple and practical defense lines to cover up Li Keju's core position.
Therefore, when several Yanmen defenders who had already penetrated several formations of Yan army rushed to them, they were intercepted and blocked one after another, and cooperated with tacit swords and guns to defeat and repel them on the spot. However, amid the rapid and fierce roars and screams and fights, there was another loud persuasion:
"Since there is a fraud inside the pass, please retreat and reorganize outside the pass..."
"The central army cannot retreat. If the troops scattered in the pass are gone!"
Li Keju was determined:
"In this time of crisis, the Lone King will live and die with his soldiers here. As long as you stick to the door and wait for support, you can turn around after this period. Even if there are many enemies in the ambush in the pass, they will be just a dry bone in the tomb."
However, on the hill on the other side of Yanmen Pass, Gu Liumeng, who was fighting in full swing, also covered the few combat engineers who had just completed their homework, hurriedly returned to the relatively safe reserved position on a relatively flat large stone. Then, looking forward to the last position of the snow at the top, splashing one after another.
However, although the sound of explosions from their closest area echoed in the mountains, it was only a slight movement, which was really snowy on the top of the mountain; there was almost no reaction afterwards. The somewhat disappointed jumping captain Gu Liumeng decided to order the second round of work; but the next moment the sergeant beside him suddenly shouted loudly.
"Frozen...freezing, freezing"
I saw that some snowflakes fell on the top of the snow-capped mountain as if blown by the wind; first they floated in the air, then they turned into lines of water that flowed down, and then turned into pieces of collapsed down, and finally turned into thin snow lines that rolled like waves.
However, as these snow lines gradually approached, the louder and louder roars and cracks between the mountains and the sound of breaking and breaking were becoming thicker and thicker. Then, he barely passed through Yanmen Pass City between the two mountains, and the cold wave that was blown and snow powder made all the soldiers fighting on the wall full of their heads and faces, and then he leaned into the narrow trumpet outside the pass.
Therefore, when these two soldiers, who had almost turned into white snowmen on their bodies, finally returned to their vast vision, they found that the road leading to the pass was completely gone, as if they had suddenly increased a large part of the ground at the entrance of the valley, leaving only a few traces of trees and rocks buried among the chaotic snow blocks.
The Yanmen closed the door was even less than at least four or five feet in disguise. As for the Yan army, which had originally gathered inside and outside the door, was even more shocked and disappeared. Although there were not enough snow in early winter, the scale of the avalanche was only unsatisfactory. However, this piece of snow that was half a mile wide enough to trap people on the shoulders was enough to make the Yan army in the city who were still stubbornly resisting.
After all, if they want to escape, they will easily fall into the snow. They either lose their body temperature and strength and freeze to death, or become living targets that move slowly on the wall. Any army that wants to rescue them must find a way to overcome the snow at the entrance of the valley. Perhaps when they arrive again and reach the close, everything will be too late.
