Chapter 718
Chen Gong was shocked when he heard Concubine Dong's words. He couldn't help but hold his fists at her and stopped persuading her.
The barbarians made up their minds and launched a fierce attack only when they arrived the next day. The camp was noisy and bustle, and the warriors of the barbarians drank large bowls of wine and ate meat like carnival. After the noise, the entire camp returned to silence, forming a sharp contrast with the previous hustle and bustle. From a distance, it looked like the calm before the storm came.
It was already late at night. Chen Gong couldn't sleep and came to the city to patrol. The officers and soldiers responsible for the guard saluted him one after another. Chen Gong looked at these officers and soldiers who were determined to die at any time and couldn't help but feel excited and relieved. He accidentally saw a little soldier leaning against the wall and fell asleep. He immediately walked forward, untied his coat and covered him with his cover. He stood up and looked at the enemy camp outside the city, frowned tightly. The development of the war was a little beyond his expectations. If Luoyang City was actually captured by the enemy this time, he had no choice but to apologize for death.
After drinking two jars of wine, Ke Bi Neng fell into a deep sleep. The tent was dark, but snoring sounded like thunder.
Suddenly, a leader rushed in and shouted, "Big Shanyu! Big Shanyu!" He didn't hear Kebi Neng's response, and immediately didn't care about that much. He rushed to the bed and pushed Kebi Neng's heavy body hard, shouting, "Big Shanyu! Big Shanyu!..."
Ke Bi Neng finally woke up, saw the blurry figure in front of him, and heard the other party screaming, and felt his head swelling. He sat up with his hands and shouted in anger: "What are you calling?"
The leader quickly withdrew his hands and said anxiously: "It's not good, Da Shanyu! The main force of the Qin army suddenly appeared in the direction of Jiguan and was attacking Jiguan!" Ke Bieneng was startled, jumped off the bed, and asked, "What did you say?" The leader said anxiously; "Just just received an urgent report, the main force of the Qin army suddenly appeared under Jiguan and attacked Jiguan! Jiguan is in danger, and Morendo sent people to inquire and ask our army to rush to help quickly! If it's too late, they are afraid they can't defend!"
Ke Bi Neng only felt a burst of sweat all over his body, and he woke up. Thinking of the serious consequences of Ji Pass's loss, he instantly felt like he fell into an ice cave. Ke Bi Neng shouted to the leader, "Call me the people sent by Morendo!" The leader responded and immediately shouted outside the big tent, "Come in quickly!" The messenger waiting outside the big tent immediately rushed into the big tent and bowed to Ke Bi Neng: "The villain greets the big chanyu!"..."
Ke Bi Neng asked anxiously, "What is the situation in Jiguan now? How many enemy troops have come? Who is the leading general?" The messenger couldn't help but look panic and said anxiously: "The enemy general is Zhao Yun. They have almost 100,000 people! When the villain came, Jiguan had not yet fallen! But the situation is not clear now!"
Ke Bi Neng was anxious, and then shouted from the leader: "Go and summon all the leaders of each tribe for me!" The leader Ying Nuo ran away quickly. After a while, the right wise king of the Huns, Wuwan Qiu Liju, and Xianbei Bu Dugen hurried to Ke Bi Neng's tent. As soon as the three of them came in, Qiu Li Ju couldn't wait to ask, "Ke Bi Neng, what's going on? Why is Ji Pass said that Ji Pass is in danger?"
Ke Bi Neng glanced at the messenger beside him and said, "Moronto, the leader I left behind on Jiguan, sent him to send a message, saying that the main force of the Qin army led by Zhao Yun suddenly appeared, and Jiguan was in danger! I asked you to come, just to discuss the next action!"
The three of them looked at each other, all surprised and incredible. Qiu Liju shouted: "This is too incredible! Didn't the previous information clearly say that the army led by Zhao Yun had gone east to suppress the rebellion? Why did it suddenly appear in Jiguan?" Bu Dugen frowned and said: "The Han people have always been cunning. The information they had obtained before should be fake news they deliberately spread. This would make our army advance carelessly and they would have the opportunity to destroy us!" The Right Xian King said worriedly: "If Jiguan is lost, we will lose the retreat to retreat north. At that time, we are afraid that we will all die without a place to bury!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look panic.
Bu Dugen said to Ke Bi Neng: "The situation of the Great Shanyu is urgent now. We must retreat immediately, save our retreat first, and then make plans!"
Qiu Liju couldn't help but shouted, "Luoyang is about to break through, how can we retreat at this time?" Bu Dugen said angrily: "The Qin army is cunning. The situation we see in Luoyang now may be illusions. In fact, the Qin army left enough troops in Luoyang, and deliberately showed weakness was nothing more than to continue to attract us here! It's like a hunter using a piece of delicious beef to lure the jackal into a trap!"
Ke Bi Neng nodded and praised: "Bu Dugen's words are good! It must be that's right!" The Right Xian King said anxiously: "You must not hesitate now! We must retreat immediately to save Ji Pass!"
Chen Gong inspected the city wall and returned to the city gate tower to rest. In the past few days, Chen Gong has been resting on the city gate tower. Now the situation is critical, and he dare not relax at all.
Chen Gong sat down behind the desk, spread out a blank bamboo slip, and picked up the brush to write something. At this moment, an officer rushed in, clasped his fists in joy and said, "Sir, the enemy outside the city seems to be retreating!" Chen Gong was stunned and quickly threw away the brush and ran out of the city gate tower. Standing in front of the railing, looking out of the city, although there was moonlight in the night, he couldn't see clearly. He could only vaguely see the soldiers and horses gathered in the enemy camp outside the city, and the horses were neighing.
The man shouted, as if he was retreating in a hurry. At this moment, another officer rushed to Chen Gong, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the enemy troops outside the city gates north, south and east are all retreating!" Chen Gong looked extremely happy, raised his fists and hit the railing in front of him heavily, and said happily: "It must be Zilong!" Then he shouted to the two officers: "Send the order and guard it strictly, and do not slack off at all!" The two of them responded and ran away quickly.
It is said that the barbarian army gathered in a hurry and then retreated north at night. The next morning, the army crossed the Yellow River and rushed towards Jiguan. For these barbarian army, the gains and losses of Jiguan are very critical. If they are lost, then so many of them will be like tigers and wolves falling into cages, and their fate will be unimaginable. Soon after, the scouts in front came to news that Jiguan had not been captured. The barbarian army was ecstatic and rushed faster.
The barbarian army rushed straight towards Jiguan. In the afternoon of that day, the army finally arrived at a hilly and forest area more than 20 miles south of Jiguan. At this moment, the sound of the Qin army's war drums suddenly rang out loud. The barbarian officers and soldiers who were in a state of breath were shocked. Before they understood what was going on, countless sharp arrows suddenly flew from all directions, sweeping the crowd like a strong wind, and countless barbarian officers and soldiers fell down! At the same time, the iron hooves roared and the earth shook. The huge mountain forest on the right seemed to surge. Immediately, countless Qin army cavalry rushed out of the mountains like countless tigers and wolves! The barbarian army screamed and hurriedly fought!
The Qin army's combat cavalry rushed into the middle of the barbarian army, like a strong wind and a tide, sweeping the enemy! The enemy's army simply resisted thousands of troops, and the barbarian officers and soldiers were washed down in a row, and the people were overturned, and the horses were overturned, and the enemy was in chaos!
The sudden attack of the Qin army stunned the barbarian army. The barbarian army subconsciously fled to the left. At this moment, dense rain of arrows flew out from the mountains and forests on the left, causing the barbarian army to roll around. However, the barbarian army was definitely not a lamb that could only be slaughtered. They were all evil wolves of the grassland. Under the leadership of Kebi Neng Bu Dugen and others, the soldiers and horses hurriedly fought and retreated along the roadside. Although they were chaotic, they were still fierce. Although the Qin army's cavalry offensive was fierce, they could not completely defeat them for a moment. Suddenly, huge shouts sounded from all directions. The barbarian army was shocked to see that the Qin army had actually siege from all directions. The cavalry and infantry were like surging black waves, shocking.
The Qin army attacked fiercely and rushed forward. The scene saw flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the horses were neighing and shouting sounded across the sky! Although the barbarian army was fierce, they were killed in succession in the face of such a fierce Qin army. Not to mention breaking through the siege, the situation suddenly became extremely dangerous! The barbarian army could not break through the encirclement and had to retreat into a small hill. The battle came to an end for the time being.
Qiu Liju panted and shouted in anger, "What's going on?" Bu Dugen frowned and said, "We've all been trapped! Zhao Yun expected that we would return to Jiguan, so he set up an ambush here!" Qiu Liju stared at Bu Dugen and others and scolded, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't been to retreat, how could we fall into the trap of the enemy!" The Right Xianwang said angrily: "What's the use of saying such nonsense now? The most urgent thing is how to break through?"
At this moment, there were waves of horns from the Qin army outside the hills. Everyone was shocked and quickly looked down the mountain. Teams of Qin army were mobilizing, and under the surrounding forests, it seemed as if there were countless Qin troops. Ke Bineng and others felt scared. Qiu Liju said pale and said, "Now, what should I do now?" Everyone looked panicked, and no one could answer his question.
"Huh? Look! It's Zhao Yun!" Bu Dugen suddenly pointed to the south of the hill and shouted. Everyone hurriedly followed the direction of his fingers, and indeed saw Zhao Yun leading tens of thousands of amazing elites to the hill. Bu Dugen suddenly changed his face and said anxiously: "He is going to launch an attack! Let the troops prepare for the battle!" Everyone reacted and quickly sent their subordinates to prepare for the battle. The warriors who had just escaped had hurriedly lined up to prepare for the battle amid the rapid shouts of their leaders. Everyone was panting and their faces were full of panic. However, at this time, there were still many troops left in each barbarian army, which should be much more than the Qin army. There were only people on the mountain and down the mountain, and there were densely packed with barbarian army!
