Chapter 143: Reinforcements

Qiu Ming casually wrapped the wound on Zhang Yulan's foot, and Xiao Dao Gu seemed to be frightened out of her soul, so she only looked at Qiu Ming fixedly, without expression or speaking. www.biquge.info After a while, there was a roaring sound of slamming the door at the gate, and Tyumen hurriedly followed the gallop road to the city wall of Xieyu Pass.

Hua Xiong was inspecting the city wall with Kong Fu, and when he saw Qiu Ming, he immediately defended: "General Qiu, the situation is too dangerous, the cavalry is completely unstoppable, if Xieyu Pass is captured, ......."

Qiu Ming interrupted him, pointed at him and said: "Standing in your position, you immediately decided to abandon the pawn to protect the car, I know you are right." Qiu Ming pointed to his nose again: "But from my standpoint, you abandoned me, and I sacrificed so many brothers in vain, but I can't forgive you." After speaking, he pounced on Hua Xiong and grabbed it.

Hua Xiong felt that he was a little unreasonable, and he didn't dodge, anyway, he had thick armor on his body, so it was better to let him punch a few punches to get angry. Kong Fu next to him was stunned, but these two official positions were above him, and he didn't dare to stop him casually, but several of Huaxiong's personal soldiers wanted to come over to help, but they were stopped by Wei Yan and Huang Zhong.

After more than a dozen punches in a row, Hua Xiong seemed to be unconscious, but Qiu Ming's fist was a little red and swollen, just as Kong Fu persuaded him hard, Qiu Ming also took advantage of the situation to stop: "Today's enemy is current, and I will calculate this account with you in the future." ”

At this time, the Qiang people have cleared the obstacles in front of the pass, and began to bang the gate again, the original five hundred soldiers of Kong Fu in the pass, Hua Xiong brought about a thousand, and several beacons outside the pass also returned dozens of veterans, if they withdraw at this moment, they may not be able to retreat. However, everyone knows that if they abandon Xieyu Pass, it will be a dead end to go back, so they all sacrifice their lives to resist in the city.

The Qiang people repeated their old tricks, and they were driving their war horses to hit the gate, and this time, in order to prevent the Han army from counterattacking the pass, they also ambushed a cavalry of about 1,000 people near the gate, all with scimitars in their hands and horns and bows at their waists.

Qiu Ming heard the creaking sound of the wooden door of Xieyu Pass, as if the old wooden planks in the old house were overwhelmed, and hurriedly asked: "There are such things as thistles in the pass, and it is better to throw them down from the city to block the horses." Kong Fu said with a bitter face: "Xieyu Pass has not been war-torn for a hundred years, and our generals are also specially designed for anti-smuggling, how can we prepare those things, even the rolling wood that was saved a hundred years ago has already rotted thoroughly." ”

At this time, a veteran soldier next to him said: "General, although the rolling wood is gone, there are a lot of stones in the back library." Kong Fu was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Then don't you take it out quickly, do you want General Ben to move it himself?" ”

Soon, the walls were filled with large and small bluestones, some of which had been polished into the shape of stone balls, while others still maintained their irregular shapes when they were cut. Under the beckoning of Huaxiong, everyone lifted the bluestone and threw it under the city wall.

In order to make the horses crash into the city gate, their eyes were blindfolded, and they only judged the direction of progress by the whistle of the Qiang people. For the many stones that suddenly appeared on the road, the war horse was completely invisible, either tripped over the leg by the small stone, or hit the big stone headlong and broke the neck, and closed the door for a while and neighed.

The leader of the Qiang people immediately stopped releasing his horses, and beckoned more than a thousand cavalrymen near the gate to come forward and use the lasso to clear the stones from the road. Most of these cavalrymen were from wranglers, and they used a lasso very smoothly, and the speed of removing stones was also extremely fast, and even some of the stones thrown from the city were already hooked by the lasso in mid-air.

Qiu Ming was dumbfounded, and almost sang a song: You are mighty and majestic, the man who sets the horse. At this time, he heard Kong Fu shouting: "Shoot all these Qiang people to death." Tyumen was startled, they had shot at the Qiang people on the mountain for a while, and they knew very well the range of the Qiang people's backfire, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot arrows." ”

Before the words fell, there were already veterans in the city who shot feather arrows, and really nailed one or two Qiang people, but this time it seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and the Qiang cavalry untied their horned bows one after another, and scolded and shot as hard as they could on the city wall. Although it is not easy to find the right head to shoot from the bottom up, ten thousand arrows flew together, and a large piece of arrow shaft was planted on the city wall in an instant.

Fortunately, Tyuming reminded early, and everyone on the wall had already found cover and hid, only one or two veterans were shot in the thighs by stray arrows and were screaming loudly. When the Qiang soldiers heard the screams, they became even more energetic, and while suppressing the city with a rain of arrows, they quickly cleared the stones, and some of them were in a hurry to run to the gate and smash the door with their weapons.

Seeing that the situation was extremely critical, except for Huang Zhong, who could still hear the voice and distinguish the position, and shot two arrows from time to time to counterattack, the others basically couldn't stand up anymore. Wei Yan spat twice and said, "Damn, I still can't run away after running so far, so let's fight with them directly." Hua Xiong didn't speak, but just clenched the blade of the knife, and his eyes were full of fierce light.

Suddenly, there was a majestic sound of trumpets in the distance, one, two, thousands of sounds, one after another, followed by the messy sound of horses' hooves, which gradually became deafening. Everyone was in high spirits, looking at the wall on the other side, only to see a group of people and horses in the distance arrived, and the word "Dong" on the banner was big, Huaxiong said with great joy: "Dong Zhonglang arrived, and Xieyu Pass was saved." ”

It turned out that the beacon fire of Xieyuguan was together, and Huangfu Songli knew that there was a difference, and immediately ordered Dong Zhuochi to help Xiegu and Zhang Liao to help Chen Cang. When Dong Zhuo arrived at Luoxing Bay, he learned that Hua Xiong had gone to help in advance, so he was even more anxious, and drove the horse team to Xieyu Pass quickly.

finally rushed to the front of the pass, and saw that the flag of the Han family was still fluttering on the pass, and Dong Zhuo's heart was put down. Although his heart was put down, Dong Zhuo's anger could not be eliminated, and he played a banner to the gate far away, asking Xieyu Pass to open the gate, and he wanted to go out of the pass to kill the enemy.

When Qiuming Huaxiong saw that Dong Zhuo's troops stretched for several miles, and he didn't know that there were tens of thousands of horses, he was also overjoyed, and immediately asked Kong Fu to switch on, and he also got on his horse and went down to the city, preparing to attack with the army.

When the leader of the Qiang people heard the sound of the horn, he knew that something was wrong, but he didn't know how many reinforcements the Han army had come, so he first collected the cavalry in front of the pass and prepared to line up to meet the enemy. But as soon as the door was opened, the cavalry of the Han army wearing red jackets poured out in a steady stream, the first one was fat and strong, with a big bow hanging on each waist, and as soon as he came out of the gate, he opened the bow left and right, and he didn't know how many Qiang people were shot over, and the few Qiang people who were still in the front were so frightened that they fled in fright, shouting: "King Dong Yan is here, run away." ”

It turned out that Dong Zhuojiu Town Xiqiang had the name of Jianxia. He is proficient in martial arts, good at galloping left and right, and is bold and hospitable, and often entertains the Qiang people handsomely, so he is deeply respected by the Qiang people. But for the rebellious Qiang people, he was cruel and easy to kill, once with Zhang Huan to quell the Qiang rebellion, in the western part of the state to slaughter the Qiang people prisoners, but also picked out more than a thousand strong people to fill the belly with ointment to light the sky lantern, the Qiang people all called him Dong Yan King without a name.
