Chapter 925: Rush the Pass

(Thank you for the support of the captain and the little white building, thank you!) )

Rate Bin House, Huazhou.

This is the city of Ussuriysk, which was later Russian, and is also a sub-city of China, which was built on the banks of the Suifen River. Huazhou, which has just begun to warm up, is still a land of ice and snow, and people in the city are hiding at home for the winter. In the city, there are 3,000 garrisons of the Tatar people, but they are not elite, just a group of old men and teenagers composed of miscellaneous soldiers. Commander of their thousand-horsemen, Herri the Iron Hand, is a seasoned veteran and an experienced hunter who has hunted bears, leopards, tigers and wolves far away in his youth, and thus became the best tribal warrior in the future.

Today's Bohai people used to be the Tatar people, but at that time they were still called the Shuai Moshui Tatar people, and later they fought for the Central Plains Northern Dynasties, fought for Goguryeo, and fought for the Khitans, until they finally parted ways with the Khitans and established the Bohai Sea themselves. The Bohai people have been trying to conquer and unify all the Tatars, but the Blackwater tribe has been resisting.

The Iron Hand Herry lost his left hand in a battle with the Bohai Navy, he was already a thousand cavalry commanders at that time, and he was hit hard by that injury, but after the last time he installed an iron hand for himself, and since then he has been retired, after all, he was fifty years old at that time, and his grandson has already written his name in the tribal war book.

Little did he know that fifteen years later, when he was sixty-five, he would still be asked by the tribal leader to lead the army. Although the 5,000 soldiers handed over to him were basically old men like him, or young men like his great-grandson. But he still put on the extremely well-maintained armor again. With his bow. Rode out on horseback. Fifteen years have passed, and his original 300-pound strong bow has been replaced by a one-stone bow, but his experience is still rich and his mind is still clear.

All the way south, he did not show the slightest bit of old age, but took his miscellaneous old and weak to fight a few beautiful battles, and defeated the Bohai Navy. Because of this, Herry, the most powerful iron hand, was sent to the Guest Mansion. With his 5,000 men, the most rear-handed, was in charge of the rightmost flank of the coalition right army.

Sixty-five-year-old Iron Hand Herry, although his bow has become smaller, he can still eat three catties of meat and two catties of wine in one meal. Even every few days, you can play a few Bohai girls. However, since the day before yesterday, the brows of the Iron Hand Herry have not stretched.

In the past few days, he always has a bad premonition, and his heart is full of worry. It's a hunter's vigilance.

The patrol department that had been out had not heard from him for a long time, and he sent another one of them. But this new patrol, like the previous one, as soon as it stepped out of the city and into the ice and snow, there was no news at all, as if it was frozen outside. The thousand-cavalry garrison in Jianzhou City delivered the news on time yesterday. But there was no news from Vladivostok. According to the agreement, every ten days, the other two thousand-person teams in the Binfu will send people to deliver information to report safety. But now, there has been no news from Vladivostok for more than ten days.

And just yesterday, some people from outside Huazhou came to report that there were many Tang people on the Amur Peninsula, and some even reported that many huge ships had been seen in the sea near Vladivostok. At first, the Iron Hand Old Herry didn't believe it at all, but the more and more reports like this came one after another, there were already more than a dozen, which made him start to doubt it.

Maybe the Qin army on the other side of Tokyo sent someone to harass them.

But he resolutely disbelieved the arguments that some people said that the Tang people were boundless and that the ships were holding the coast.

As early as more than a year ago, most of the naval fleet of the Qin people had withdrawn to the mainland, and there was indeed a fleet on the Tokyo side, but it was armed with merchant ships from the Bohai Sea, and there were only about 100 ships. They hadn't left Longhe Port for more than a year, so how could they dare to come here suddenly at this time. And it is even more impossible to say that it is the fleet of the Tang and the Don. Now that the ice on the sea is still melting, if they appear here for tens of thousands of hours, they will at least start to set off in the next year. He didn't believe that the fleet of the Qin army would dare to venture out in such a season.

But as time passed, his own thoughts began to waver.

He had already sent three more horses, but there was still no news of him. Perhaps, Qin Jun is really here.

In the second half of the night, the wind picked up, and then the snow began to fall, and the snow made it difficult to walk.

Yang Shihou, one of the thirteen Taibao of the King of Qin, the vanguard of the Changsheng Legion of the former army, watched the five thousand silent soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Army neatly arranged in the snow, like a group of statues carved from ice and snow. The cold wind shook the white camouflage cloak that wrapped around them like fluttering flags. Each face was wrapped in a warm neck sleeve with a head and neck, and then a leather hat with ear protection was buttoned on the outside, and a wolf head and hood helmet were buckled on the outside, leaving only the mouth and nose of the whole head exposed, exhaling white smoke and heat.

In the faint light of the fire, clumps of snowflakes flew around them, and in a few moments a thick layer of snow was on their shoulders and the white cape outside their hats, but no one patted them.

Yang Tianxiong didn't feel cold in his heart, he only felt that his blood was boiling, and there was an indescribable impassionedness, scorching hot and surging, and he was almost crying when he was excited. This time they will be a decisive battle against the Hu people, and this battle will kick off the decisive battle. As a disciple of the King of Qin, he longed to be promoted to the rank of commander of the army like Liu Xun and Li Cunxiao. And this is an opportunity, as King Qin said, their grievances and grievances with the Hu people for nearly ten years will be settled this time. From now on, in the entire Northeast, there will be no Hu people who can threaten them, and the entire Northeast will be completely included in their rule.

This is not the original Tang Dynasty's Jianzhou County, but a thorough expansion of territory, the entire Northeast for the first time truly included in the control of the Central Plains, from now on, the history will always record this day.

The Han and Tang dynasties developed and operated the Western Regions, but in the end it failed, and there was only one Hexi Corridor leading to the Western Regions, with the Tubo Plateau on the left and the prairie on the right, and the Tubo Plateau and the prairie were difficult to truly conquer, so the Western Regions could only be an enclave. But the northeast is different, the vast sea is countless passages, and after the Khitan, Xi, Tatar and other countries were broken, the Qin army could push all the way to the mountain passes of the Saiwai Plateau. Immigration, road construction, and city building, this place has completely belonged to the Qin army from now on. What's more, although the Northeast is cold, it has fertile black soil, a huge plain that exceeds Hebei and Shandong, and is a big granary, as long as there are people, it can be developed.

And now, their Flying Cavalry will be the pioneers of this territory. They will be the pioneers of the Great Qin Empire in the future!

"Let's go!" Yang Tianxiong shouted.

When the ten cavalry battalions heard the order, they almost turned in unison, turned on their horses, and rode into the snowy night one after another, following the white winged Pegasus flags.

The road from Amur to Huazhou is not difficult, because it belongs to one of the Meituo Lake Plains in the southwest of the Sanjiang Plain, and several outlet rivers of the Suifen River and the Meituo River have been rushing to the sea, hitting a flat plain, and to the north, the huge Meituo River and its northern part are larger plains. This huge plain was later known as the Great Northern Wilderness. Even at this time, the Mae Tuo Lake Plain was also the agricultural grain production area of the Bohai Kingdom, and it was directly connected to the port of Vladivostok, so it was a flat road along the Suifen River. At this time of the year, the Flying Cavalry can even walk directly on the flatter river ice.

Their target was Huazhou, which was not built on a flat plain, but on a mountain pass on the plain leading to Haikou on the plain south of the Meituo River, which happened to be blocked on the channel of the Suifen River. There is a lot of momentum that is too big to be opened.

If the Qin army wants to go to Bozhou, this is the only way to go.

When they trudged to the front of the mountain in the face of the wind and snow, and could vaguely see the faint lights of the fortress in the mountain pass, the tired soldiers of the flying cavalry suddenly became energetic again.

"Quick, dismount!"

The mountain pass is like a great wall, separating the southern plain of the Mae Tuo Lake from the lower reaches of the river impact plain. The Bohai people had already built a fortress on the mountain pass, and built fortress arrow towers on both sides to guard the mountain pass. The cavalry did not have any advantage here, and if they wanted to take Huazhou City, which was twenty miles north of the mountain pass, they had to take this military pass first.

In the bitter cold wind, one after another the cavalry began to dismount, all of them wearing white camouflage cloaks, and when they dismounted, they almost melted into the snow. Everyone was silent, silent, clutching their knives and guns.

It was still a few miles away from the castle, and the road began to narrow, and the Flying Cavalry began to move quietly forward in a triangular formation in groups of three.

One battalion after another began to dismount and advance, Yang Shihou whispered: "Keep quiet, touch it quietly, don't be exposed, the wolf cubs don't know that we have come, this is an excellent opportunity, we must not alarm the enemy." ”

On the southward road from Jianzhou to Huazhou, a cavalry was also galloping through the night, they were the iron hand Herry, and the two thousand cavalry he carried. In the end, he still brought people to Huazhou, he was really uneasy in Jianzhou, and he really couldn't rest assured if he didn't come in person. If the real Qin army appeared, the peninsula would have been lost long ago, and with only the thousand people in Huazhou, even if they were guarding an extremely dangerous pass, it would be difficult to stop the enemy.

It's better to run for nothing than to take risks. The Guancheng of Huazhou is the most dangerous Guancheng in the entire Shubin Mansion, once the Qin army really comes and breaks through there, then there will be nothing to fight behind. He couldn't take that risk, as a shrewd hunter, a brilliant general, he knew that very well. (To be continued......)
