Chapter 732 wins
After some inquiry, I learned that although the Kushan army had not set up a village, the place where it was located was not conducive to the impact of cavalry, and the patrols were intensive, and the soldiers were also sleeping in armor.
All this, the Kushan army did not notice at all, and after dawn, they still acted as always.
After two days of rest, and the follow-up food has also been delivered, Ebony was anxious to hug his arms and let the army have a full meal, and immediately rushed to Tongguan.
This time, Ebony was not verbose, and directly ordered the army to tackle the key problems, ready to pay some lives to take Tongguan.
Seeing that the Guishan army was tackling the key problems, Gao Shun commanded the Cao army to resist the enemy in danger and suppress the Guishan army to the death.
After a day of hard work to no avail, Ebony had long thought that after all, where was this dangerous terrain, if it was really so easy to break through, he would not have wanted to sneak attack Zhong Xuan before.
It was dark and set up troops to rest, and Ebony had already suffered a big loss, and he was not careless, and he still arranged double patrols with heavy troops as he did yesterday to prevent being attacked by night.
The night was uneventful, and Ebony gathered his army early to start a new day of attack.
Seeing that the sun was in the middle of the day, and the offensive was still the same as yesterday, there was no change at all, and Ebony was a little anxious, and began to give orders, urging to increase the intensity of the attack.
When Ebony's order arrived, the Guishan army increased its strength, but the defenders of Tongguan had long been accustomed to this offensive and defensive battle, and it was impossible for the Kushan army to make progress for a while.
Seeing that the effect was not very obvious, Ebony knew that if he wanted to take Tongguan, it would take some days, otherwise no matter how hard he pressed, it would not be effective.
The attack and defense have been going on, and there has not been much change, seeing that the Guishan army is about to reach the point of withdrawal, suddenly the gate of Tongguan opened, and countless Cao troops rushed out.
This sudden change made Ebony startled, and he hurriedly ordered his own soldiers who were preparing for the attack to step forward to meet the enemy, and ordered the attacking army to retreat and rectify the offensive.
Blessing Wushuang is not a one-way street, just when Ebony sent his own soldiers to meet the Cao army killed in the pass, the rear looked at the camp for a long time, and seized the opportunity to charge.
Suffering from the enemy on his back and tackling key problems for another day, even if Ebony is the god of war in the world, he is powerless to return to the sky in the face of such a situation.
In such a situation, retreating as soon as possible is the best policy, but after retreating, what kind of disposal he faces, Ebony knows very well in his heart, so he chose to fight to the death.
"If there is a person who turns back, kill, attack forward, kill into the pass, kill! Kill! ……”
Ebony's heart-rending roar let the Guishan soldiers know that they had no way to retreat, and only by fighting to the death and taking Tongguan could they have a glimmer of life.
But in such a situation, these soldiers who have fought all the way know very well in their hearts that obeying orders is only a dead end.
But retreating from the battle is also death, and death is death left and right, so why not choose a way to die by yourself.
The slave soldiers behind the ebony pro-soldiers, one of them could no longer bear it, and raised their weapons to stab at the pro-soldiers who usually flaunted their might to them.
"Ahh
"Ahh
These pro-soldiers didn't expect that the people in the rear would turn back at this time, and they were unprepared to lose two people in a row before they reacted and killed the slave soldier.
There are one and two, and the slave soldiers, who have long been oppressed, no longer care about so many at this time, raise their weapons and fight with their own soldiers.
Sandwiched between the pro-soldiers in the middle, they had to face the double attack of Cao's army and the slave soldiers in the rear, and they didn't resist for long before they were all killed.
The surviving slave soldiers, when they came into contact with Cao's army, immediately put down their weapons and raised their hands high, indicating that they had no heart to resist and wanted to surrender to save their lives.
At this time, it was the time of the battle, and the surrender of these slave soldiers was also a good thing, Xia Houyuan, who led the army out of the pass to fight, ordered the army to avoid these surrendered enemy troops and kill the stubborn enemy troops who were still struggling to resist in front.
The battle situation is getting worse and worse, and Ebony knows that the general trend has gone, and he also wants to retreat, but where can he retreat?
Even if he retreats to the base camp, at most he will save these troops, and his own life will definitely not be guaranteed.
If he wants to live a long life, it is very simple, but on such a day, with the extreme character of Ebony, he would rather die.
Death was decided, and Ebony was not in command, but led the only few hundred people around him to stop the retreating army, and he wanted these soldiers and horses to be buried together.
After several hours of fierce fighting, the sky had completely darkened, and the Kushan army finally collapsed completely, and the half of the surviving army, no longer ignoring Ebony's orders, retreated in all directions led by the minor commander.
Seeing that the whole situation was dissolved, a sneer appeared on Ebony's face, and the only remaining hand slowly took out the Wuya knife and stabbed it towards the abdomen.
"Plop!"
The soldiers who followed beside him saw that Ebony understood himself, looked at each other a few times, and fled the battlefield one after another.
The enemy army was dispersed, and Xia Houyuan did not withdraw his troops, but cooperated with the trapping camp and continued to pursue.
Xia Houyuan's department had just arrived, and he had not rested, so he went into battle, and it was reasonable to collect troops at this time, but he was used to running and using troops.
Moreover, all the elites of General Cao Cao were selected to him this time, hoping that he could give full play to his strengths and make great contributions.
On Tongguan, Gao Shun's eyes were staring at the battlefield, although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, he was still like this, and he could imagine the tension in his heart.
"Report! Our army won a great victory, the enemy army was completely dispersed, and General Xia Hou was leading his army in pursuit. ”
"Okay, this battle is won, Guishan Guoxiu wants to peek into the Central Plains, pass the order, gather the army, and prepare to go out of the pass to pursue."
Gao Shun rarely smiled, he didn't think about it, and he was used to giving orders.
Cao Bing, who came to report the order, hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to notify or not, after all, the Tongguan army was exhausted, and if something happened, he couldn't afford it.
Seeing that Cao Bing was unmoved, Gao Shun remembered and changed his words: "Gather the army first, and I will go to discuss with Lord Zhong Xuan." ”
"Yes." Hearing this, Cao Bing was finally relieved and hurriedly took the order to inform.
When he came to Zhong Xuan's residence, seeing that the lights were still on, Gao Shun stepped forward and knocked on the door and said, "Lord Zhong, Shun has an urgent matter, can you enter." ”
"General Gao, come in if you have something."
Hearing the reply, Gao Shun pushed the door and entered, and saw Zhong Xuan half-lying on the bed, and said: "Lord Zhong, General Xia Houyuan has come to help, the enemy army outside the gate has been defeated, and it is being pursued and killed at this time. ”
"Shun wants to let the army in the Guannai dispatch, follow Xia Houyuan, approach the army in the rear of Guishan, and try to put the battlefield outside Tongguan, what do you think?"
If the enemy is far away from the door, there will indeed be a lot less care, Zhong Xuan thought for a while and said: "This method is good, General Gao can leave more than 300 people to garrison, and the rest can be sent." ”
"Okay." Seeing that Zhong Miao agreed, Gao Shun nodded slowly, glanced at Zhong Xuan, and said after a pause: "Lord Zhong, since the danger of Tongguan has been solved, Shun will also lead the army to leave." ”
