Chapter 516 Tunnel Battle

If you have prepared, you will not plan.

In addition, due to the eating habits of the Indians, many soldiers had severe night blindness. Such a blind infantry unit was not a big threat to Feng Tang and other elite Qin army soldiers.

From the night of March 2 to the morning of March 3.

For the Xunga people, it was a catastrophic night. Not only did the city of Daluo, which had nearly 50,000 people, nearly half of it was burned down, but the infantry regiment stationed outside the city was attacked by a group of unknown militants, and the infantry team with a strength of 2,000 was defeated in just one night, no, to be precise, within two hours.

Under the protection of the night, the Xunga Infantry Regiment, who was about to support the city, had just left the camp and was blocked halfway. Feng Tang did not have such an unrealistic idea as completely annihilated. What he wanted was a quick victory that was enough to shock the Indians.

The two thousand infantrymen, except for the more than 300 people who were left at the garrison, were killed in the night battle, and the remaining people scattered and fled to nowhere.

After destroying this threatening force, Feng Tang ordered the troops to turn quickly and march towards the Solomon Pass. The main task of this interspersion was to open the passage of the pass. Now, while the Sunga people were busy dealing with the fire in Daluo, launching a reverse assault on the Solomon Pass was undoubtedly the most appropriate time.

On the Pass of Solomon.

The Xunjia guards who were still looking down at the foot of the mountain happily, now there is no excitement at all. Puciamita's younger brother Sha Ou's purple-black face showed a little annoyance and anxiety.

The supply in the rear has been cut off for three days. Without food supply and firewood, they would have to freeze and starve to death if they continue to defend this high pass.

"General, what should we do? There is no food and no firewood, if we stay here, we will be dead!" A few soldiers of the Xunjia clan who were surrounding him approached and asked.

Sha Ou glared impatiently and cursed: "So what if you die? Do you want to be deserters? If you escape today, you will be robbed of your home by the Qin people tomorrow and your wife and children. Think about it carefully?"

"This-!" The hopeless civilian soldiers of the Xunjia tribe shook their heads and sighed and retreated, but kept scolding in their hearts that their civilian home was just a wooden shed. There was no property except the necessary living utensils, and what could the Qin people have to grab?

As for the wife and children, the Qin people's military discipline has always been good. Only Persian soldiers would do it if they were burning, killing, and robbing. Therefore, if the Qin people really wanted to rob, they would only rob rich nobles like Shaou.

The night is getting darker.

On the pass, there was only a little bit of gray left. The cold and trembling soldiers of the Xunjia clan retreated into the stone house in disappointment. They were now in despair, hoping that they could hear the order to go down the mountain as soon as possible.

In a leeward house on the ground floor, Shaou leaned against the stone wall that was still emitting heat, and there was no longer the scenery he had when he was full of energy.

These days, the Qin army at the foot of the opposite mountain are still slowly turning back and forth a few times a day. When they are in high spirits, these Qin soldiers will launch one or two tentative attacks, but with such an attack momentum. At the beginning, Sha Ou would be happy to repel the enemy's attack, but now he is full of the anger of being deceived.

Shaou had already judged the fire in Daro City from the chaos behind, but he was not sure how much damage the fire had caused. If the entire supply and supplies were burned, then their abandoned and forgotten people would really make it impossible for them to shout that they should not be effective.

Moreover, on the line of Mount Suleiman, there is not only Solomon's pass. The entire mountain range extends from one end of the ocean to the Pamir Plateau. There are more than twenty passes of all sizes. Although the Solomon Pass is guarded between Persia and India, no one can guarantee that the Qin army will not enter the South Asian continent from another pass.

——.

The north slope of the pass.

Qiu Lijin, a native of Wuhuan, was hiding in a newly hollowed-out cave under the depression like a rat. After a long period of time, three hundred soldiers had been accumulated in this small depression.

Unlike the Indians who were frozen by the cold wind above the pass, in this small leeward depression, the Wuhuan people built sheds similar to those in the snow to keep warm. Only a small half of this shed was exposed outside, and most of the remaining ones were hidden deep underground. In addition to being unable to make fire, the Wuhuan people's lives were extremely comfortable compared to the Indians above.

"Big leader, is the fire above it extinguished?" The Wuhuan soldier who was responsible for watching crawled back and whispered with excitement.

"Did you see clearly? Is it really extinguished, or was it accidentally extinguished by the wind?" Qiu Li's golden brown face was missing. The hard work and efforts these days were about to be picked. He didn't want to waste several days of hard work because of a momentary negligence.

There is only one chance.

Qiu Lijin knew that in order to change the status of the Wuhuan people and strive to gain a place among the various ethnic groups of the Qin State, he and his Wuhuan warriors must do their best.

Hearing Qiu Lijin's order, the Wuhuan sentry turned his head and crawled towards the entrance of the cave again. He did not dare to show his body too much, for fear of being discovered by the pass sentry. Finally, after careful observation for a while, the sentry nodded slightly with satisfaction and made a forward gesture to the back.

"Attack! For the Great Wuhuan."

"Attack, never retreat!" Qiu Lijin roared, and rushed out of the low hole with his hands and feet. Under his leadership, the Qin soldiers of the Wuhuan clan rushed towards the pass like wolves on the grassland.

From the foot of the mountain to the pass, there is a five-kilometer long mountain road, and from the depression to the pass, it has been shortened to 600 steps. Within this distance, as long as the Wuhuan people are fast enough, they can reach a suitable location for attack before the pass sentries hear the footsteps.

Balls of black shadows ran on the ridge!

If it were the bright fire at the pass before, it would have completely exposed the Wuhuan people, but now, the dark night is impossible to see clearly. The two Xunjia sentries guarding the pass tightly together, hoping that the replacement of the guards would arrive soon.

When Qiu Lijin climbed the pass, the first-row warriors of the Wuhuan clan had successfully dealt with the unlucky sentry and quickly charged towards the enemy's stone house.

The chaotic footsteps outside finally woke Sha Ou up. His reaction was quite quick. After he judged that he was touched by the enemy, he immediately ordered all the soldiers guarding the pass to rush out to fight the enemy to death. At this time, Guangshou could not defend, because by dawn, the Qin army would send reinforcements continuously.

Therefore, only by killing all the enemies you touched can you defend the pass. Shaou rushed out of the door first and happened to meet the old guy Qiu Lijin.

That's right.

Compared to the young and strong Sha Ou, Qiu Lijin is over 50 years old. He is indeed a little weak, but his rich battlefield experience is still there. Seeing a burly man rushing out of the enemy's house, Qiu Lijin immediately reacted that even if this strong man is not an enemy general who is guarding the pass, he is still an important figure.

"Shoot!"

With Qiu Lijin's order, the Wuhuan people on both sides opened their bows and shot at Sha Ou.

"Ah!" With a scream, Sha Ou, a warrior of the Xunjia clan, was hit by several arrows on his head and chest and abdomen. He staggered a few more steps under the pain, and finally fell down obliquely.

"Go and cut his head?" Qiu Lijin shouted coldly.

As soon as Shaou died, the remaining soldiers of the Xunjia clan who were hiding in the house did not dare to come out again. They rely on the protection of the stone house to try to resist dyingly, but because of this, the Xunjia people naturally gave up their control of the pass.

The Wuhuan people's sweep of Solomon Pass ended when the sun rose. The soldiers of the Xunjia clan in the stone house were unable to see the rising of the sun the next day. They were directly ordered by Qiu Lijin to burn them to death in the house. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
