"Report!"

Northeast of Fukou, the temporary command post of the Zhao Army's mid-formation.

A hurried report came from far and near, and the herald hurriedly entered the camp tent and clasped one knee on the ground: "General, there is an urgent report from General Ridge." ”

"Bring it."

Zhao Kuo raised his hand, and the pawn immediately presented the letter.

When Zhao Kuo opened the letter, his eyes swept over, and his face immediately became a little solemn. In the direction of Qinyang, nearly 100,000 Qin troops went north, and now they have all hit the place where they are hoarding food on the front line.

"Fortunately, the day before yesterday, troops were dispatched to the south, otherwise if the General Ridge was lost, the good situation would be reversed in an instant." Zhao Kuo sighed, and then asked people to find the fame and reputation of the one who participated in the siege and killing of Meng Fu not long ago.

The letter was handed to the other party, and Zhao Kuo said: "General Ridge is the lifeline of my army, you quickly lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to help, and you must kill the Qin army that invaded the realm." ”

"Yes!"

Nodding his head at the moment, he naturally understood how important General Ridge was.

In terms of status, it is comparable to the Great Wall of Baili Stone in the north.

came out of Zhao Kuo's account, and immediately gathered his 20,000 soldiers and horses. Although he lost some in the previous battle with Meng Fu, the situation of the encirclement allowed him to take advantage of it, compared to Meng Fu's losses, his soldier casualties were less than 30%.

He thought that the cavalry troops of the Qin army, which had been completely killed, quickly shuttled between Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain after receiving some supplements.

Compared with the front blockage and rear chase when going south, Meng Fu went north again without hindrance.

Although this section of the mountain road is rugged and difficult, it is better to have no one to interfere with. It only took two nights and one day, and when the entire Taihang West Vein to Qinyang was still in a state of fighting, Meng Fu had quietly come to his hometown.

When he first arrived, Meng Fu was not in a hurry to attack the pass.

Hiding in the forests of Guannan Mountain, the first thing Meng Fu did was to send his subordinates out to find out information.

With only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in hand, a hard attack is the most undesirable. And the accents of Kansai and Kanto are too different, so that Meng Fu does not dare to make a scam city at all.

The best choice is to squat at the pass and wait for the opportunity.

In the next two days, the soldiers under the command of Meng Fu have been shuttling through the surrounding mountains and forests, perhaps because of the bitterness, or perhaps because of the providence in the dark, the soldiers searched around and really found a path to the pass.

However, you must first climb the Guanshan Ridge to the east of the old Kankan, grasp the vines and climb from the cliff to the top, and then go around a cliff.

"Soldiers, many of you have followed me all the way from Changping to here. I am not good at words, but I can only tell you that the chance of victory in the great war is now on this cliff. ”

Gathering all the soldiers and horses at the bottom of the cliff, Meng Fu said in a rough voice: "Ben will have the courage to break through him, do you have the guts?" ”

"I am willing to fight with the general!"

"I am willing to fight with the general!"

"I am willing to fight with the general!"

I don't know who started it, but after only three or five breaths, there was only this unified reply under the cliff.

"Okay, first team, climb the cliff with Ben!"

Seeing that the army's heart was available, Meng Fu waved his right hand and let twenty soldiers come out of the ranks, followed him to tie the hanging vines around his waist first, and then kicked his feet up the cliff and began to walk up.

The 100-meter mountain cliff was a little frightened when Meng Fu climbed it himself.

But as a general, she can't show her timidity, and she needs to set an example, and the responsibility on her shoulders is to make Meng Fu's heart go horizontal, and she is approaching the top of the cliff step by step.

Eighty meters

Fifty meters

Thirty meters

Ten meters

As the distance got closer, it became easier for him to walk on his feet. The last ten meters were no longer vertical overhangs, even if he could climb without vines to help him.

A moment later, when he was the first to turn over and jump up to the top of the cliff to look up at the sky, Meng Fu only felt that his heart was very happy at this moment.

It's coming up!

Eighty percent of the difficulties have passed.

As a famous Qin army climbed the cliff, although more than 30 people inevitably declined halfway, nearly 4,000 people still managed to reach the top.

And at this moment, under the cliff, there are more than a thousand cavalry left. There was no need for these cavalry to climb up at this moment, and when Meng Fu launched a surprise attack from the pass, these more than 1,000 people were another sharp knife inserted from the outside.

"All act according to plan, follow me on the mountain." Whispering to the surroundings, Meng Fu quietly moved with four thousand people.

After nearly two hours to the west, another cliff blocked the way. However, going down the mountain is much easier than going up, and the vines are still tied to the waist, jumping down little by little.

………

"Sixth, did you hear any movement?"

"No, this ghost weather is very hot, and I don't have the strength to listen to any movement."

"Don't complain, it's better for us to be here than in front, I heard that Changping Pass has been fought twice, and now it's still fighting."

"Who said no, this day, when is it a head."

Most of the Zhao troops who stayed behind in the old pass were farmers who were temporarily recruited, and in addition to guarding the pass, their greatest responsibility was to ensure that the grain transportation channel from Handan south was unimpeded and that the grain was sent to Jiangjunling in time.

A batch is sent every 40 days, and the time is calculated, and it is not a few days before the next grain shipment. A few rare idle peasant guards held wooden guns and gossiped, either talking about the widow in the east of the village, or talking about whose family married the little daughter-in-law.

As the sun went down, the rest of the men went back to their camps to rest, except for a few men who kept vigil as usual.

After another hour, the whole camp was snoring.

It was also at this time that in the shadow corner on the east side of the pass, Meng Fu rushed out of the low forest with his soldiers.

The 4,000 Qin army showed very well what it means to be a 'tiger and wolf army', from the beginning of the move to the chaos of the entire pass, it only took less than half an hour for Meng Yu and his soldiers to be in trouble.

At the same time, 4,000 horses rushed from the south of the pass.

The defenders of the pass who were suddenly attacked did not retreat into the pass, and it seemed that the bow and arrows could not stop the rush of many war horses. When Meng Fu led five hundred elites to the gate of the pass, as soon as the door was opened, a black shadow poured in.

Looking in the direction of the galloping of many war horses, the Zhao army that entered the eyes of Meng Fu all fled in embarrassment.

Therefore, from today onwards, it will be controlled by Daqin.

………

When a sneak attack and fight continued until dawn, although the old pass was already a mess, the faces of every Qin army soldier were full of excitement and joy.

Winning the old pass is not only a matter of military achievements, but also a matter of victory or defeat in this battle.

And if they win the battlefield, they have a good chance of returning home alive.

"General, a large amount of military rations have been found in the Guannai, a lot of food, and meat."

"Haha~ Clean up this pass, and have a full meal today."

The cloaked Meng Fu smiled and nodded, the dry food he brought with him when he set off had already been eaten, and he had to kill ten horses some time ago, and now that he has taken the old pass, everything will be different.

Commanding the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and bury the pot to cook, Meng Fu's eyes were red after half a month before he finally drank a mouthful of hot soup.

"General, you can rest for a while."

"Don't worry, let the soldiers take turns to trim, and then find me a few horses and fast kids, we have to pass on the battle report of the old pass, let Wu Anjun know, let my Daqin soldiers know."
