Chapter 252: Unification of the Kingdom of Wei (5)

Mu Ge is an infantryman in Xinxiang County. He was already on the run, but was suddenly picked up by the team from the warm bed in the middle of the night. He had no time to get confused. The cold air directly took away the only little heat on Mu Ge's body, causing two chills, and Mu Ge woke up suddenly.

"Everyone's vacation will be cancelled. I'll give you half an hour to bring your weapons and armor to Xidaying to gather quickly."

The dilapidated door made a squeaking sound, and the team was roaring outside, and there were a series of footsteps gradually leaving.

Mu Ge's wife carefully pulled the corner of the quilt and asked in a low voice: "I'm not just taking a break, why are you going back to the barracks? The New Year is coming soon, may I have to fight again?"

Mu Ge lowered his head and put on his clothes, turned around and told me in a muffled voice: "Who can understand Shangguan's meaning? You can protect your home and take good care of your parents and sons. I will go now. If the military situation is not so urgent, it is possible to come back for the New Year. Okay, you go to bed first."

The woman looked at her man's figure and disappeared into the night. She could only silently close the door and sighed silently.

Things were far worse than Mu Ge imagined. The emergency gathering troops led three days of food and food to drive away overnight. The baggage battalion rectified the food and grass and then advanced. The Xinxiang County Magistrate Lu Wang personally led the army. The county soldiers in the city rose up and headed straight for Puyang. Everyone did not know what the purpose of this operation was, and why they chose to send troops at this time. They just received the order to send troops, and then ran around the road in a daze.

The sudden march overnight took Mu Ge to exhaust his physical strength, especially the snow that had not yet melted, which made him spend twice as much effort on his usual steps. When the Dongfang showed a hint of whiteness, the Xinxiang County soldiers' team had been pulled into a long line, and everyone's faces were covered with fatigue. If the law enforcement team had not been patrolling, the team would have been dragged down long ago.

The long military horn finally rang out, and the soldiers who insisted on themselves sat in the snow next to them. Some even lay there and slept soundly without caring about the coldness of the snow. The night of running around had already made these soldiers reach their limits.

Although he was very sleepy, Mu Ge did not choose to fall asleep. He took out dry food with his body temperature from his arms. He swallowed it with a large mouthful of snow on the ground, ate his stomach full, and maintained his full physical strength. This is the secret for Mu Ge to survive until now. No matter how bad the conditions are, as long as it is his turn to rest, he will eat more or less, because he knows that once the battle begins, there will be no time for eating, and the enemy will not stop attacking just because you are eating. He has seen many warriors who are much braver than him, who die in the end and die. As long as you persist for a while than your opponent, your life may be saved.

"Mu Ge, how about it, I can still eat it." Team Zheng Fanling is a big man with a straightforward temperament and no bad intentions. In addition, no matter how bad the conditions are, he has never abandoned a brother, so he has always been trusted by his soldiers.

"The body is nothing, I'm just tired, I don't want to move after eating something." Mu Ge smiled at Fan Ling and said, "Where are we going? We ran all night in a daze, and the brothers were exhausted. If we ran around without a target, it would probably cause complaints from the brothers."

"Don't talk about you. Even me, I just got the order. Our goal this time is Wucheng."

"Wucheng is about to reach the territory of Qingyun County, what are we going there to do?"

Facing Mu Ge's question, Fan Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know, we all work hard. Shangguan said, let's just do it. I only know that we have to grab the time this time. You can hurry up and rest. We will have to set off soon."

Mu Ge actually knew about Wucheng. When there was no war, he took his wife to Wucheng several times. Xinxiang led to Wucheng and had to pass Duanlongjian. Although he had the word Jian, it was a wind-eroded landform. There was a passage at the bottom of the ditch but no water. Every time he walked there, Mu Ge would be careful in his heart, for fear that some force would jump out to block the road, because the terrain here was too dangerous, with cliffs on both sides. As long as there was a blockage of exits in the front and back, he could not get out.

After a short rest, the team continued to move forward. Lu Wang had no intention of saving troops. He had to arrive at Wucheng at the prescribed time and quickly seize the city defense while the defenders were unprepared. Only in this way could it be possible to block the retreat of Yingguang's army.

Duanlongjian's dangerous obstacles made Lu Wang hesitate for a moment, but soon he made his own judgment. First of all, he sent troops very suddenly, and even the soldiers under his command ran away, and the spies staring at him were even more confused. Therefore, even if those people got the news, they would not have time to stop him. Secondly, in such bad weather, the other party would not station a soldier in this wilderness, at most one or two patrols. These people would only escape when they saw their army, and it was impossible for them to take the initiative to fight. With the above judgment, Lu Wang believed that as long as he speeded up, the team could pass through Duanlongjian safely.

"Minister of the County, should we send a whistle to investigate?"

The dangerous obstacles of Duanlongjian made the deputy general very uneasy. Seeing that Lu Wang had no intention of investigating, he couldn't help but remind him.

"No need, we sent troops very suddenly. Even if the other party gets the news, it doesn't have time to run here to defend. You don't have to worry too much. Let the troops speed up their passage. It's serious."

Lu Wang refused the deputy general's proposal very firmly, waved his hand and ordered all troops to enter the valley.

Mu Ge was very surprised when he received the military order. He instinctively thought that it was very dangerous to go in directly without any defense, but the binding force of the military order made him forcibly suppress his instinct and slowly entered the valley with the large army.

At this time, on the cliffs on both sides of Duanlongjian, a withered tree suddenly fell down, and then the dead tree opposite was also knocked down. At the exit, Dian Jun stood in front with a big axe. This team that should have appeared in Puyang suddenly turned and firmly guarded by Duanlongjian.

In this narrow and long rift valley, Lu Wang's army was stretched into a long snake. When the front camp was warning, the rear army's baggage team had just entered halfway.

"Boom"

The rocks on both sides rolled down, and huge stones overturned the ox carts transporting food and grass, killing and injured soldiers and livestock. The vehicles that wanted to turn around and escape were pushed in one place, completely blocking the already-wide entrance. To be continued.
