310 Mountain Pass
310 Mountain Passage
A Fei, the chief general of the Pioneer Army, and more than 20 deputy general commanders including the passionate and heroic Yuntian, led the player soldiers of the Pioneer Army to go deep into Zhangye County and are about to arrive in the Shandan area.
Shandan, the central part of the Hexi Corridor, an important post station leading to the Western Regions from the Central Plains, and a steady stream of imperial envoys from east to west and domestic and foreign merchants, is a must-pass place on the Silk Road.
Before entering Shandan, there is a narrow mountain passage less than seven or eight miles wide, which is the only way to go. The Little White Alliance's vanguard army and the vanguard army of the horses began to contact here.
The number of villages in Zhangye County was easily subdued for several days, making the player leaders such as A Fei, the passionate and heroic spirit somewhat relaxed, and subconsciously thought that the combat power of the players in Zhangye County was not worth mentioning.
The righteous clouds looked at the mountains ahead from afar, and there were many figures shaking among the mountains. He said steadily: "Well, the terrain on both sides is dangerous, and only the middle can pass. According to my inference, there must be ambush on both sides."
A Fei had already killed countless players from Zhangye County and didn't care about them at all. He said to the left and right players: "What if there is an ambush, it's okay to fight. Let's pass through this mountain that is about 40 miles long, and then over 80 miles, it is within Shandan. There is an important town of Zhangye County's horse-playing army. It is reported that there are less than 1,000 defenders. After passing the Shandan important town, you can go straight to Zhangye City without going out 100 miles. Brothers, we will pass this mountain tonight and spend the night in Shandan Town tomorrow. We will be able to fight to Zhangye City the day after tomorrow. Let's go!" He carried a level 40-level steel sword and took the lead in walking forward.
Hot blood and Haoqing were laughing, "This is a good suggestion. We have been sleeping in the open for several days, so it's time to find a good place to rest. Brothers of the Hot Blood Army will follow."
The commanders shouted, "Okay"
More than 15,000 players and soldiers from the 20th Army entered the mountain passage in batches. A few cautious army commanders such as Yiqiu Yuntian became more cautious and allowed their troops to walk behind.
The horn of the cow suddenly became a big deal on the mountain ridge, and roars erupted in the mountains. Countless players and warriors from Zhangye County rushed out of the jungle and grassland, holding up all kinds of weapons and rushing towards the vanguard army.
There are also many players shaking flags and shouting from afar in the mountains, and it seems that there are ambushing troops all over the mountains. However, their equipment is uneven, most of them are ordinary-grade weapons and equipment of more than 30 levels, including animal leather armor, spears, iron spears, longbows, and few excellent equipment.
The Pioneer Army, both in terms of combat quality and weapons and equipment, were obviously better than the enemy. The players of the Pioneer Army, were calm and unhurried, and formed a group of thousands of people. Under the command of the commander, each holding swords, wooden shields, strong bows and crossbows, and rushed forward in groups.
"Kill—! Kill the enemy players in Zhangye County."
"Kill--! Cut off all the people from the Little White Alliance Army, and you must not let them pass through this passage."
"Regional Battle Tips: The Shandan Mountain Ridge Channel Campaign begins. The Little White Alliance will fight against the Ma Wanjun Mountain Ridge Channel Guardian. Before the end of the battle, the player characters in the area cannot be online and offline. The battle period is unknown."
The vanguard army was unstoppable. Although the troops were only more than 15,000, they killed the ambushing troops who were ambushing here and cried and shouted to their parents. They retreated step by step. Soon, the ambushing troops were completely disintegrated and the entire line collapsed and fled.
The players and soldiers of the Pioneer Army shouted excitedly, chasing them to death, "Kill, don't let them escape!" Even the formation ignored it, and rushed the enemy to chase the enemy. The enemy soldiers who were not in time to escape were chopped down to the ground.
More than 10,000 soldiers rushed into the mountain passage.
Mountain passage, high places.
Several leaders of the alliance watched the occupation and laughed, "Haha, I've been trapped! I rushed in so easily. Don't they know that Feng Gu Mo should enter?" "The stone throwing cart is ready--! Let it go!"
call--!
call--!
Dozens of huge stones were thrown out from the mountains, covering half of the sky and roaring towards the vanguard army.
The players of the Pioneer Army were shocked by the loud noise and raised their heads, and huge rocks fell from the sky.
When it landed, there was a loud "boom" sound that hit the ground, as if the earthquake was shaking, and the dust was everywhere, and more than ten players and soldiers were overturned. Not to mention people, even the equipment was smashed by huge rocks and turned into white light and dissipated. It was really a piece of armor left.
There are not many players killed by the giant rocks. Dozens of huge rocks shot together in one round, killing more than a hundred and ten vanguard players. However, this power is too scary and it is directly killed in seconds when hitting the giant rocks. The players and soldiers of the vanguard army all the way were shocked and changed their color.
"Oh my god, they have a giant stone throwing tool. If you fall into the trap, retreat, and retreat quickly!"
A Fei quickly stopped. Judging from the number of stones, at least thirty or forty giant stone throwing tools were installed on the mountains. Thirty or forty stone throwing tools were enough to break up any formation, making it impossible for the soldiers of the Pioneer Army to form a group to launch an attack. If other fortifications were added, the 15,000 pioneers along the way would not be able to rush to this mountain passage that lasted forty miles.
The commanders of the legions quickly called their subordinates to retreat, and the players of the vanguard army ran away and escaped from the attack range of the catapult.
This time, it was the turn of Zhangye County players and soldiers who were ambushing here were excited, and they all turned around and rushed over to chase the butts of the vanguard army.
High above the mountain, several village leaders from Zhangye County were excited and shouted, "Cavals attacked, kill them without leaving any armor!"
Zhangye player cavalry, more than 5,000 cavalry, rushed towards the vanguard army on the mountain passage.
The vanguard army wanted to organize a formation to resist the hunted cavalry, but was dispersed by the cavalry charge and could not hold on. They fled in a panic and retreated for more than ten miles until they encountered a large army of 40,000 troops led by the Chunqiu Young Hero of the Second Pioneer Army, and stopped.
The vanguard army lost nearly half of its troops in this battle.
......
Luoyang.
Eunuch Zhang Rang and others learned that He Jin led foreign troops into the capital and wanted to kill them. So they set up a plan to tempt He into the palace in the name of Empress Dowager He and wanted to kill the butcher He Jin first.
He Jin did not listen to Yuan Shao and others' advice, and was counted into the palace and was killed.
When He Jin died, Yuan Shao waited outside for a long time and immediately rushed into the palace. Cao Cao led his army into the palace. Yuan Shu also led his army into the palace. Lu Zhi led his army into the palace. Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang and other eunuchs were beheaded into meat paste.
The eunuchs Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others robbed the Shao Emperor and King Chenliu. They fled out of the capital overnight and rushed to Beimang Mountain in panic. In the second update, the pursuers arrived, took Duan Gui and killed him. Zhang Rang was anxious and jumped into the river to commit suicide.
The young emperor, King Chenliu and others were unknown to the real and did not dare to speak loudly, and hid in the messy grass by the river.
The pursuers scattered and rushed away, not knowing where the young emperor was.
......
The vanguards were chased and fled for more than ten miles. When they met the vanguards of the second vanguards, they then seized their positions and gathered the remaining troops. The players and cavalry chased by Zhangye County saw another army of neatly lined up, and they dared not act rashly and retreated.
"Regional Battle Tips: The Battle of Shandan Mountain Ridge Entrance ended, and the Little White Alliance was defeated."
That night, the second vanguard army camp.
Facing the broken remaining army, A Fei hugged the young hero Chunqiu and cried hard, "Oh my mother, they actually imprisoned me, lured me into the valley and hit me with stones. It was a great humiliation. I have no shame to see anyone. Young hero, you must avenge me."
"Oh, don't rub your nose on my trouser legs!"
The young man in Chunqiu pushed A Fei away and kept a distance, then he paused and said: "This, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. I don't think my brother will blame you for this small defeat. Isn't it just a few dozen stone throwing tools? A small matter. If you smash them, will you get revenge soon?"
A Fei hurriedly: "Go and smash them for me."
The young man from Chunqiu was startled, "It's okay, the enemy troops in Zhangye's alliances have been preparing for this canyon for a long time. They can defeat your vanguard army so embarrassedly, and there are at least 60,000 or 70,000 troops. I don't plan to fight them head-on. I'd better wait until Sister Qiu Shui's three-way army arrives."
A Fei was furious: "After the defeated battle, I still have the face to meet Sister Qiu Shui? Then I won't give everyone in the Third Route Army to laugh to death. No, I must get the loss back before the Third Route Army arrives. Young man~!"
The young man in Chunqiu had goosebumps: "What do you want to do?"
"Borrow troops!"
That night, the vanguard army was so angry that they were seven or eight thousand troops, as well as ten thousand player warriors borrowed from the Second Route Army, regrouped and returned to the mountain passage in the dark. The dark night was not conducive to advance, but it was also not conducive to being counterattacked by the enemy.
The pioneers no longer passed through the flat passage under the mountains, but climbed up the jungle in the dark, trying to destroy dozens of stone-throwing tools set up at the height of the mountains.
There are bright bonfires everywhere in the entire mountain passage.
Several alliances in Zhangye County, with a total of 50,000 or 60,000 troops guarding the passage. There are a large number of players guarding each stone thrower. Because there are many people, they are not too worried about someone sneak attack.
The channel defenders did not expect to fight back so soon, and it was an attack launched at the darkest moment before dawn.
Puchi, Puchi.
Silently, the defenders on the mountains fell down one by one. The players and masters of the vanguard army all touched the surroundings of the defenders' camps one by one and killed the surrounding guards.
Their skills are extremely superb. Some use weapons with extremely high sharpness to cut their throats and pass through them in seconds to kill them. Some use crossbows to volley, and five sharp crossbows aim at the key points of a defender player to fire. They are definitely instantly killed, and they don’t even have time to make a scream.
The most terrifying thing is the terrifying warrior player who masters sword energy skills. A light sword energy shines in the country and kills five guard players in the entire team in seconds. It is extremely domineering. Of course, because it consumes too much internal energy, this skill is almost impossible to use continuously, and it takes half a day to use it.
Nearly 20,000 players from the Pioneer Army all touched the mountain and killed many players. The players in charge of the vigil of the mountain passage discovered them and exclaimed loudly, "Enemy attack! Get up quickly!"
Seeing that the troops were exposed, A Fei didn't care about hiding his traces and roared: "Kill them all and take revenge!"
The entire army roared, "Kill!"
On the dark night, war broke out across the mountains. There was no formation at all. All players had to fight by feeling and sound. The bonfire was still burning, but it could not shine in all places. Ten meters away from the bonfire, it could only illuminate countless jumping and fighting figures, which were very blurry.
At this time, courage, personal combat skills, and the advantages and disadvantages of weapons and equipment occupy an absolutely important position.
The vanguard army came with a revenge mentality, and took the initiative to attack, and was mentally prepared. Although the defenders on the mountain passage won a great victory and their morale was high, they were accidentally attacked late at night and their troops were panicked.
Dozens of Pioneer Army players cut over a mountain and guarded the players and watched around a stone throwing tool on a high platform. This stone throwing tool is different from the catapult car in Xiaobai Town.
The catapult car, a low seat mobile chassis, is fixed on a movable vehicle, and the launch distance is short.
The stone thrower is a high seat fixed chassis, and the deep pile is on the ground, which is not movable and the launch distance is very far. It is a bit like a high-turret. The stones are loaded with leather sleeves at the long end, and the iron block counterweight is installed at the short end and dozens of turns of ropes are wrapped. During launch, the rope drives the gear set to rotate, and the lever is accelerated and the stones are thrown out.
"Wow, why is this stone throwing tool so high? I'm afraid it can be three feet tall."
"Good guy, this kind of large weapon is expensive and may make a fortune. Let's get it away."
These players stroked a moment and wanted to pull out the wooden stakes that were hit on the ground and get rid of the stone throwing tool, but found that the wooden stakes were not moving.
From a distance, comrades were shouting for help. They didn't dare to waste time here, so they simply threw a fire on the stone throwing tool and burned it back to reinforce friendly forces.
