November 22, early in the morning, Guiping Pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

By the morning light and the dew, 80,000 allied troops marched forward on the undulating mountain road.

In front of Guiping Pass, there is a long and narrow mountain road, winding and twisting, turning a thousand times. The army of 80,000 is arranged in a column, stretching for dozens of miles, and there is no end in sight, and the black pressure makes people panic.

The army that marched forward firmly was like a black dragon, winding and hovering among the mountains and green waters.

At first glance, there is a strange sense of beauty.

Who knows, this is a division of tigers and wolves who choose people to devour, a group of cold-blooded killers with strong will.

At the forefront of the army was the phalanx of sword and shield soldiers, who would be the main force attacking the pass. This was followed by rows of archers and crossbowmen.

Because of the rugged mountain roads, the coalition forces could not carry large siege equipment, but only carried rows of simple ladders. Occasionally, there are a few heavy giant crashing logs.

At the end of the army, there were more than 10,000 elite cavalry.

In the middle of the cavalry phalanx, there is a middle-aged general, particularly conspicuous, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a resolute expression, wearing a red robe and silver armor, wearing a gilt helmet, and a war horse under the crotch, which is unusual at first glance.

This middle-aged general is the commander of the coalition forces responsible for the attack on Guiping Pass, and he is also the commander of the 200,000 coalition forces - Li Mu, a famous general of the Warring States Period.

Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao during the Warring States Period, was known as the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States Period" together with Bai Qi, Wang Jian and Lian Po. At the time of the Battle of Changping, Li Mu was only a good general on the northern border of Zhao State.

It wasn't until the end of the Warring States period that Li Mu shined.

Li Mu was first on the northern border of Zhao to fight against the Xiongnu; Later, he mainly resisted the Qin state, and because of the heavy damage to the Qin army in the battle of Yi'an, he was given the title of Wu Anjun. In 229 B.C., the king of Zhao moved to the divisive plot of the Qin state, listened to slanderous rumors, seized Li Mu's military power, and killed Li Mu soon after.

And the designer of the discord meter is none other than Wang Jian among the four famous generals.

Needless to say, Li Mu is really a famous general that cannot be underestimated.

With the appearance of Li Mu, the four famous generals of the Warring States finally all appeared in the wilderness. Bai Qi worked in Shanhai City, Wang Jian was under Qin Shi Huang, Lian Po was under Emperor Chen, and as for Li Mu's lord, it was still a mystery for the time being.

I only know that it is a certain lord in the coalition army.

With such a big general in the coalition army, it is no wonder that they were able to capture more than half of Guilin County in just three days, and they encountered almost no decent obstacles.

You must know that even if you want to gallop through the entire territory of Guilin County, I am afraid it will take three or four days. This is also because Guilin County is long and narrow from east to west and narrow from north to south.

Li Muyao stared at the fortress in the distance, thoughtful.

The scene in front of him was obviously a bit unexpected by Li Mu.

First, Li Mu didn't expect that there were a large number of troops stationed in the pass. It stands to reason that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has fallen, and there is no reason for either the Taiping Army or the Shanhai City Army to stop at the pass.

If you really want a large army, why don't you enter Guilin County?

Everything is a mystery.

After all, Ouyang Shuo's "good intentions" are afraid that few people can know.

Second, Li Mu didn't expect that the enemy seemed to know about their existence for a long time.

The intelligence system of Shanhai City is really impressive.

From this, Li Mu also thought of one point: Since the defenders of the fortress have already received the news, then the Shanhai City garrison in Xunzhou County is afraid that they have also received the news at this time, right?

Perhaps, the reinforcements from Shanhai City are already on their way to reinforcements.

From this, it is urgent to capture Guiping Pass. Because once the reinforcements from Shanhai City arrived, with the danger of Guiping Pass, Li Mu was really not confident that he would be able to take this pass in one fell swoop.

"It seems that there are variables in the planning of the military advisor."

Li Mu muttered to himself, but his eyes became more and more firm, no variables could stop the coalition army's determination to achieve its strategic goal: Guiping Pass, must be taken!

Although Li Mu is best at cavalry warfare, he is also unambiguous about attacking cities.

When we meet on a narrow road, only the brave wins.

***********

Inside the fortress, above the city walls.

When the menacing 80,000 allied troops appear on the mountain road in front of Guiping Pass, they will face an iron-blooded army that is ready to defend the pass to the death.

At this moment, the blood veins in Shanman's body suddenly boiled.

In this battle, they will fight for the new [Barbarian King] and prove their loyalty and bravery.

All failures and disgraces will be washed away with the blood of the enemy.

Combat exploits are always the greatest glory of a soldier.

The old minister Pei Ju stood in the center of the city, looking at the army in the distance, but his expression was solemn. The number of enemy troops was somewhat beyond his expectations.

How long will a tenfold army be able to hold out?

In addition to Guiping Pass, Pei Ju is worried about another checkpoint - Xuanwu Pass.

But for Xuanwuguan, he can't help it.

In fact, the two passes are not together, separated by hundreds of miles.

Therefore, what Pei Ju can do is to try his best to keep the main pass of Guiping Pass. For Xuanwu Pass, Pei Ju did not completely give up, and did not transfer the 5,000 mountain barbarian soldiers stationed in Xuanwu Pass.

After all, if Xuanwu Pass was not garrisoned and the enemy army took Xuanwu Pass without much effort, it could even directly detour to Xunzhou County and catch Guiping Pass by surprise.

Therefore, whether it is Guiping Pass or Xuanwu Pass, in fact, it cannot be easily lost. These two passes can be described as the two important gateways to the north of Shanhailing at this time.

Once the portal is opened, it is the atmosphere of great decay.

"Woo~~~"

With the muffled sound of a trumpet, the battle suddenly began, without warning.

The two sides did not provoke before the battle, and there was no mutual accusation and scolding war.

The two armies, since the beginning of the battle, have entered the most fierce and tragic offensive and defensive battles.

Pei Ju's confidence in defending Guiping Pass is the strength of the mountain barbarian warriors, and the second is that the checkpoint is narrow, which is not conducive to the large-scale attack of the coalition army.

As a result, the coalition forces have a huge army, but the number of troops that can be invested in a unit of time is limited.

As the saying goes, if you are a husband, you can't open it.

Xiongguan Junka, is it just talking.

What needs to be tested now is the will and combat power of the Eight Thousand Mountain Barbarians. They must be supported by the enemy's incessant attacks, without any discouragement.

As soon as the mountain barbarians become fatigued, the defense line will be exposed, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The dull sound of killing echoed in the silent mountains.

Every moment, someone dies on the battlefield.

Batch after batch of coalition troops were sent to the front line by Li Mu, and they fell one after another.

The strength of the mountain barbarian warriors made all the coalition soldiers look sideways.

The defense line formed by the Eight Thousand Mountain Barbarians, braving the continuous rain of arrows of the coalition army, is like a god of death, harvesting the lives of the coalition soldiers in an efficient and orderly manner.

The warriors had cold expressions and feverish eyes.

Shi Hu, the commander of the mountain barbarians, took the lead and killed the enemy the most bravely.

This group of mountain barbarians seems to be born for war, and no enemy will let them retreat a single step.

For a whole morning, the coalition forces launched five waves of onslaught, but they were all defeated. At the foot of the city wall of Guiping Pass, there are already one-meter-high white bones.

Similarly, under the baptism of arrow rain, the mountain barbarian warriors on the city wall also suffered heavy losses.

The mountain is strong, but it is too brave and does not know how to be flexible. When he killed the enemy, he didn't know how to protect himself at all, and was killed one by one by the rain of arrows in the sky.

More than 1,000 mountain barbarian warriors will sleep forever in Guiping Pass.

Seeing that it was already noon, Li Mu didn't want to leave any respite for Shanman.

The recuperated army, replacing the scarred remnants, launched a non-stop onslaught on Guiping Pass.

The speed with which the front and rear troops are switched is breathtaking.

The mountain barbarian warriors on the city wall only had time to drink saliva and swallow a cold steamed bun, and the dense enemy army rushed to the city again through a cloud ladder.

"Brothers, kill!"

Shi Hu swallowed the last bite of steamed buns, advanced the Tang knife, turned around and waved, and cut off the head of a coalition soldier, sprinkling a long line of blood in the air.

Blood splashed on the steamed buns in the hands of the mountain barbarian warriors, and the warriors didn't care at all, they didn't even wipe it, and swallowed it directly with blood into their stomachs.

How can the bloody style planted in the Chiyou era be easily erased?

Seeing this, the allied soldiers were all shocked.

The enemy in front of you is not so much a human being as a group of evil spirits from hell.

Before fighting, first cowardice.

However, the horns of attack continued.

The coalition soldiers could only grit their teeth and fight with this group of "evil ghosts".

This battle made the world change color.

The red clouds in the sky above Guiping Guan formed a huge whirlpool that slowly rotated. The endless blood and murderous qi merged into the blood-colored vortex, which was terrifying.

This battle is not only a race against time, but also a contest of wills between the two sides.

In the face of endless attacks, the mountain barbarian warrior is like an immortal god of war, his body is filled with a steady stream of power, and he is not tired.

Seeing that the sunset was already rising in the distant sky, Li Mu's expression became more and more solemn.

The tenacity of the enemy army exceeded his expectations.

As a result, Li Mu even remembered his old opponent, the powerful Great Qin Warrior.

At that time, the Qin army was also so brave.

"I didn't expect that there would be such an iron-blooded army in the wilderness."

Li Mu sighed and ordered the withdrawal of troops, preparing to fight again tomorrow.

After a day's attack, although the coalition forces suffered heavy losses, losing more than 25,000 people, according to Li Mu's estimates, the garrison of the fortress was afraid that more than half of them had suffered casualties.

The remaining 4,000 remnants will see how they will face the onslaught of the coalition forces tomorrow.

If everything goes well, tomorrow at noon, you can take Guiping Pass.

Li Mu's will has never been so firm.

The advisor was right, Shanhai City was a dragon that was about to take off, and they had to deal a fatal blow to the dragon before it could take off.

Otherwise, there will be no room for other territories to survive in the southwest region in the future.

"Even if you're a dragon, you've got to keep it for me." (To be continued.) )
