How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you? The king raised his army and repaired my spear.
Central Plains, southwest of Junting, Nestle Pass
In front of the cavalry formation in the valley, the crossbows on the cliff overlook the room. The advance is open and unobstructed, and the retreat is protected by barriers.
This is the Nestlé Pass that the eight thousand elite cavalry led by General Sugar must conquer if they want to seize the southwest road.
In front of a group of soldiers guarding Nestlé Pass in the valley, Xia Houji, the general of the formation pass, stood tall and tall riding alone. There was a sudden bustle in the army behind him, and some soldiers dispersed, and a Confucian scholar in long robes came forward on horseback.
"General, it would be more appropriate for you to retreat to the tower in front of the pass. Firstly, it is easier to see the situation clearly from a higher position. Secondly, as the general, you need to ensure your own safety before you can command an army."
This person's surname is Wei, his name is Shuxiu, he was originally the military advisor of Jinghong Hall. Ever since the demonic way that made Jun Mo and the three elders of Jinghong Hall fly to the stars appeared, he protected Mingzhe and demoted himself to this place. At the next level, Nestlé Guan served as a branch military advisor.
"Why did Wei's military advisor say this? In the face of a powerful enemy, I, Xia Houji, am the commander-in-chief. I should take the lead and set a good example for the soldiers to stabilize the morale of the army. We have always been like this on weekdays. Why is the military advisor so timid today?"
Wei Shuxiu frowned and said, "Today is different. First, the person who comes is the first general of the Hou Mansion, Shatang. Ge Loufeng and Ji Duoxu also come with him, which shows that the opponent is bound to win this battle. We should be more careful.”
Xia Houji felt itchy at the base of his ears as he listened, and scratched them from time to time. Then a slight displeasure appeared on his face: "The war hasn't started yet, how can a military advisor be timid before fighting? Don't worry, I will charge forward to the battle later. If you kill the granulated sugar, and then Ji and Ge, you will definitely cause chaos among the rats in the Hou Mansion, and the morale of the army will be thrown into chaos."
"The principle of capturing the thief first is of course good, but it won't work in today's battle. Even the opponent's general will die in battle..."
"Why doesn't it work?" Apparently, Xia Houji began to feel impatient with Wei Shuxiu, and even interrupted his advice.
Although Wei Shuxiu had long known the character of General Xiahou, this battle was different from the past. He anxiously continued to admonish: "No, no! It's okay on weekdays. Today, the general must listen to Wei's words." , if the general dies early in the battle today, the soldiers in our valley will definitely..."
Before Wei Shuxiu finished speaking, a whistle suddenly sounded in the distance, which completely awakened the ambushed crossbowmen in the Nestlé Pass Valley and on the mountains on both sides.
Following the whistle, he saw a flying arrow tied to a bamboo whistle, piercing Wei Shuxiu's throat and nailing him to the flagpole behind him.
Seeing this, a group of Jinghong soldiers suddenly panicked. There was a commotion in the valley. Xiahouji quickly shouted: "Don't be chaotic! Don't be chaotic! We are preparing for battle. We have ten thousand defenders. In addition to the geographical advantages of the valley, let Nahou Ji go." When the government troops come in, they will catch a turtle in a urn!"
As soon as Xiahouji finished speaking, a group of more than a hundred cavalry from the front rushed straight towards them. The crossbowmen on the city were about to draw their bows, but were stopped by Xiahouji with a wave of his big hand.
"A hundred men rushing to kill ten thousand people? You don't take this general seriously at all. There is no need to waste arrows. The shield soldiers are in place!"
"Got the order!"
Two groups of strong shield soldiers lined up and set up two layers of huge shields like iron walls. Sharp spears passed through the gaps and pointed directly at the hundreds of cavalry who were coming.
Sure enough, the horses that rushed towards the formation at high speed were pierced by the spears protruding from the shield formation, and fell into a pool of blood with a tragic roar.
But the soldier on horseback jumped up and jumped towards Xiahou Ji who was among the Jinghong Hall army behind the shield formation.
In front of the experienced soldiers of Jinghong Palace, the actions of the soldiers of the Hou Mansion seemed to have unclear intentions. Seeing that Xia Houji was standing in the front, they sent out a group of elite cavalry before starting a head-on battle to borrow the opportunity. The machine beheaded the general first.
Without Xiahouji's orders, the Jinghongdian soldiers who were good at fighting skillfully raised their long spears. The soldiers who flew towards them with swords were stuck in the air one after another, and even Xiahouji's hair was hard to touch. .
While the soldiers were talking and laughing, a group of Houfu cavalry who were stuck in the air felt the pain of being punctured, then took out a small cloth bag from their bag and waved it around.
A piece of red dust fell, and the soldiers of Jinghong Hall all had blank expressions. Then the horsemen of the Marquis Mansion seemed to pull out another rope from their waists and pulled hard. Steaming air suddenly emerged from the armor around his waist.
"boom!"
With the first, the second, the tens. . . The hundreds of soldiers who had just charged exploded one after another. In an instant, red dust filled the valley. Looking down, it was a bright red among the loess.
At this moment, a flaming arrow hit Xiahouji's left arm. He endured the pain and pulled out the arrow, and then said angrily: "Soldiers, please don't panic. This mere trick shows that the enemy is afraid of our strength." , Dare not challenge head-on, the shield soldiers form a formation to resist the rocket arrows!"
Round after round of flaming arrows struck, although Jinghong's armored soldiers were slightly damaged, fortunately, even if the shield soldiers formed an array, they were able to temporarily resist it.
The momentum of the rocket gradually weakened, and Xiahou Ji suddenly heard another sound of horses galloping, and a strange sound of something rolling. He opened his shield and took a look, and saw another group of elite cavalry approaching, with something on the tail of the horse. He was running forward with several wooden barrels filled with hot oil tied to them.
Xia Houji was really panicked this time. It would be terrible if those oil barrels rushed in front of him and then exploded. He immediately retreated to the back of the formation and ordered the guards at Nestlé Pass to open the city gate, and all the soldiers retreated. After that, only the shield soldiers were left to defend.
The crossbowmen above the valleys on both sides kept shooting arrows at the cavalry charging down below. The shield soldiers also tried their best to block them, and for a while they blocked the elite cavalry from the formation.
Unexpectedly, those elite knights were all desperate for their lives. Even if their horses fell to the ground, they would still carry the oil-filled barrel, pull the fuse around their waists, and leap into the formation. Behind the seemingly solid shield, The formation was instantly blown to pieces, and the valley floor became a sea of fire.
The fire began to spread, and a group of soldiers in the rear followed Xiahou Ji and fled behind the city gate. Behind the fire, a ray of setting sun shone on a man holding a halberd in the distance. With the roar of the horse under his crotch, he shouted One voice: "All officers and men, follow my orders and follow me to take over Nestlé Pass!"
"kill!"
It seemed that the cavalry of the Hou Mansion launched a general attack. Shatang bore the brunt of the attack with a big halberd in his hand, followed closely by Ji Duoxu and Ge Loufeng. The army of nearly 8,000 people covered their faces with coarse cloths and killed them all.
"Archer! What are you doing standing still? Shoot your arrows quickly! Haven't you had enough to eat?!"
Xiahou Ji, who had climbed up the tower at this time, looked at the crossbowmen in the valleys on both sides, and suddenly felt that their movements were much slower, and each of them seemed to be limp and unable to exert their strength.
Sugar, who was rushing into the battle at this time, must have been completely convinced by Hui Shi, who he called a madman a few days ago. When he went out for the battle, he ordered someone to make a batch of red powdered medicinal materials, which he called "Fire God".
This kind of powder is usually non-toxic and tasteless, and can even be used as a medicinal material. However, once it is heated to a certain temperature, it will form a highly toxic gas, and the hot steam will rise rapidly, so that it will evaporate and poison two people. A group of crossbowmen on the side valley.
Xia Houji finally became anxious. Normally, he would always have military advisor Wei Shuxiu to advise him, but at this time, he was fighting alone.
"Close the city gate!" Seeing that the Hou Mansion's army was about to attack, he could no longer hold back and ordered.
"General, our people are still outside!"
Xia Houji immediately pulled out the big knife in his hand and slashed it down, causing the head of the person who had just spoken to fall to the ground.
"I said to close the city gate, do you understand?"
The rest of the city guards naturally did not dare to say anything, so they began to turn the wheel and slowly lower the heavy door from above.
In the valley, the big halberd in Gran Tang's hand is like a dragon wandering in the army. Whenever the tip of the halberd passes by, someone's head will fall to the ground.
During the melee, he seemed to notice that the city gate in the distance was gradually falling. Then, he flew up and stood on the back of the horse. He kicked the halberd away and stood just in front of the gate, as if a pillar was supporting it. in front of the door.
However, the gate seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and the spurge couldn't hold on for long. General Sugar jumped on his horse again and ran away.
Xia Houji, who was on the city wall, laughed and cursed: "Huh, what a sinister villain's trick. Today I will close the city gate, and you will just wait to die under your own poisonous gas. Once you enter Nestlé Pass, you must abide by the rules of Nestlé Pass." .”
Just when the euphorbia was about to break under the pressure, a broad and strong arm held up the city gate, which was as big as a wall. I saw a man stepping on the loess and raising his hands high, as if he was holding the world open.
He couldn't see Xia Houji at this moment, but he said fiercely to the frightened Jinghongdian soldier in front of him: "I, Sugar, have been good at convincing people with reason all my life. Today I am here to tell you a truth. I am a wall of dung." You can’t dig deep, and you can’t even look at the general at the bottom of the well.”
How could Xiahouji, who was on the city wall, bear such humiliation? He pulled out the sword from the soldier beside him and jumped to the ground by stepping on the left and right bricks of the city wall.
Putting the big sword on Shatang's shoulder, he threatened the soldiers of the Hou Mansion in front: "Whoever dares to step forward, I will definitely take his life!"
A group of Marquis cavalrymen suddenly slowed down their advance. At this moment, they heard Sha Tang shout loudly: "Anyone who dares to stop will be killed without mercy!" The heavy city gate was so heavy that he could not even speak at this time. It's about breathing heavily.
Seeing that the other party had not stopped, Xia Houji thrust his long sword into Shatang's chest and threatened sternly: "Go to hell for me!"
As for Granulated Sugar, blood kept pouring out of his mouth, but he smiled slightly at Xia Houji, as if he was pitying an orphan.
He glanced at the excellent soldiers he had trained over the years and were about to rush forward to break through the barrier. He couldn't help but laugh: "How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raises his army, repair my spear!"
