Chapter 1230 Reputable
The sky is getting brighter, but in the valley, there is still rain and fog. Although the rain is not heavy, it is quite chilly. The autumn rain and the cold, wet the armor and wet the mountain road.
With two hundred riders, Zhao Yun just led the horse and walked step by step in the mountain road at the front of the queue, looking around vigilantly. Although there was an allotted oilcloth, it could not cover the whole body after all, and the armor and robes were not enough. A little soggy.
Diaoyin, in the north of Taichang Mountain, was not built by Qin State at first, but by Wei State.
At that time, in order to guard against the expansion of Qin State, Wei State built a city wall along the mountains, that is, the Great Wall of Wei State, and then built a strengthened version of the military stronghold in Diaoyin. Later, a battle between Qin and Wei broke out in Diaoyin. In the end, it was naturally Qin who laid down this pass, and Wei began to withdraw from the stage.
Since it is called a pass, it is naturally stuck in an important traffic passage. This pass connects Guanzhong to the south and Shangjun to the north. It is the most suitable passage for marching. The rest of the trails are not absent, but difficult. Just like in later generations, for those masters who climb rocks with bare hands as naturally as eating and sleeping, it doesn''t matter whether there is a road or not, but for those ordinary people, maybe a big rock can dispel their original climbing ideas .
Even if the Huns are different from the Han people, they don’t need the baggage carts accompanying the army. Their baggage is all on horses, but they also need a road that can at least allow horses to pass.
Therefore, there are not many trails that can be provided to Huchuquan. It''s like Zhuge Liang''s attack on Guanzhong. Although there are many roads, there are actually only two that can be chosen.
Zhao Yun''s two hundred riders came to block the road.
Gan Feng is going to block the other end.
It depends on how Hu Chuquan chooses.
Zhao Yun had walked this road before, and he also specifically asked the local guide, so he had some impressions. Otherwise, in the Han Dynasty without a navigator, after circling the mountains and hills for a few times, it would easily affect the sense of direction. No matter how you turn it, you won’t be able to turn it out.
The autumn rain is not heavy, and the autumn rain does not last as long as the spring rain, but when it rains in the mountains, the mountain fog will rise and cover the surrounding area. A few dozen steps away is a vast expanse of whiteness, which is difficult to distinguish.
Zhao Yun''s important task is to choose a somewhat similar spot in this mountain road...
Two hundred riders, traveling lightly and quickly, basically they should have rushed to the front of Huchuquan, but there will not be too much difference. If Huchuquan chooses to go north, then it is almost here. When is it now? A few scouts from the Southern Huns jumped out of the white mist in front of them, and they couldn''t tell for sure.
Of course, the premise is that Zhao Yun did not take the wrong path.
These forks in the hills and mountains are all similar in shape. They are all gullies washed out by the big glaciers in the north during the Little Ice Age tens of millions of years ago. In the Han Dynasty without any positioning system, if you go to the wrong fork Where did you turn to...
Thus, even though Zhao Yun knew about it before and went through it once, but now he doesn''t have much confidence in his heart. It''s just that Zhao Yun''s performance is calm, so the soldiers following him can''t see any ups and downs in Zhao Yun''s heart.
Jian Ma shook his head uneasily, and walked behind Zhao Yun. Although he had a piece of wood in his mouth, he was still upset and snorted heavily. In the autumn rain, no matter the people or horses, they are a little uncomfortable when they are blown by the wind in the mountains. Fortunately, Zhao Yun''s people who follow the wind are half of Bingbei veterans and half of Xiliang frontier soldiers, and they are all used to this. The weather, and since he followed General Fei Qian of Zhengxi, he has never been short of food, clothes and armor, so he can bear it.
A black shadow emerged from the white mist in front of him. After walking a few more steps, he managed to see clearly that this black shadow was actually the half-collapsed military fortress in the middle of the mountain road.
Zhao Yun breathed out a long breath, pointed forward, and waved his hand. Although he didn''t say anything, he somehow breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this collapsed military stronghold, it means that we did not go the wrong way.
In fact, in history, Zhao Yun''s sense of direction is still good, at least in the chaotic situation of Changbanpo, he can still find the right path. If it is Li Guang, Liu Chan may be starved even if he is not suffocated. died…
Zhao Yun ordered his soldiers to repair here, but he walked forward a short distance and stood at the wall of the army camp to look around.
The military stronghold has collapsed, but it still has some of its former power. After climbing up for a while, it came to the bottom of the military stronghold. The solid village wall that was once repaired with blue bricks and stones has collapsed under the rain and wind for so many years, exposing the rammed earth, broken bricks and stone strips scattered around, and the dilapidated village gate is open, like an old man. Few of the teeth were still in place, and even the few remaining were crooked and wobbly.
Looking further ahead, there was still a vast expanse of white mist.
The drizzle hit the mountain road, drenched on the dilapidated wall of the village, and sprinkled on Zhao Yun''s armor. The sound of the rain was accompanied by the sound of tidying up the horses and clothes behind him, and everything around seemed extremely quiet.
fine.
Zhao Yun decided to block Huchuquan here. Although the military stronghold was broken, it still had some advantages in terms of terrain.
It seems that it has been a long time, and it seems that it has just rested for a short moment. Zhao Yun, who was eating the compressed cake specially distributed by General Zhengxi in the rain, suddenly felt a jump in his heart, and stuffed the remaining half in his hand. In his mouth, he didn''t chew and just held it full like that. He picked up the spear, stood up, walked a few steps to the front of the village, and listened attentively.
Fine rain, white mist.
Visibility is less than 100 paces.
There seemed to be some chirping sounds of stepping on the yellow mud ahead, but when I pricked up my ears to listen, there seemed to be nothing...
Did you hear me wrong?
Still confused?
The rain and mist in the mountain road stained Zhao Yun''s face, condensed into water droplets, and slid down the eyebrows and cheeks without a sound. abnormal noise.
Most of the soldiers behind Zhao Yun followed Zhao Yun for a while. Seeing Zhao Yun''s current state, they also stood up silently, and then gently took the weapons in their hands.
Some people seem to be born to adapt to the battlefield. Some veteran generals may not have this kind of keen sense on the battlefield, but for Zhao Yun, it seems like a natural instinct.
Through the white mist that billowed in the middle of the mountain road, Zhao Yun seemed to have seen and heard a group of people and horses in front of them, carefully approaching here. These people were wearing leather robes and carrying knives and guns. There is no sound of nail plates colliding, only the chirping sound of leather boots stepping on the yellow mud.
The Southern Huns really chose this direction!
"Here we come!" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice, then waved his hand backwards, "Prepare the crossbow arrows!"
In this humid weather, bows and arrows are not easy to use, so you can only use Zhengxi''s iron crossbow. But winding the crossbow is a labor-intensive task, so it is necessary to prepare in advance for Zhang Xian and the arrow, otherwise it will be too late if you want to wind the bow temporarily.
Zhao Yun''s voice was low, but with an indescribable majesty. After he finished speaking, he didn''t continue to urge anything, but shook the big gun in his hand in his wrist. The red tassel on the tip of the gun was wet by the rain, and it shook away immediately. Come on, that fleeting mass of blood is thrilling.
This winding and rugged mountain road has some forks, one of which goes north to Shangjun, and the other goes east and then south to Jingzhaoyin. Naturally, Huchuquan will continue to flee north with a high probability, otherwise it will be considered a When it came to Jingzhaoyin, it was a lone army that couldn''t go deep.
However, the possibility of Huchuquan''s brain twitching cannot be completely avoided, so Zhao Yun finally persuaded Gan Feng to come and block the intersection in the north, and Gan Feng rushed to the intersection in Jingzhaoyin, because it was very simple. Zhao Yun walked through the mountain road at least once, and Gan Feng is more familiar with Jing Zhaoyin''s terrain.
Although Gan Feng was somewhat reluctant, Zhao Yun had good reasons, so he split up.
It turns out that Zhao Yun has won the gamble.
If you can block Huchuquan here, and wait until the follow-up troops arrive, it will be a great achievement!
Of course, the premise is that it can be blocked...
The white mist seemed to dissipate a bit, or someone stirred it up a bit, a dozen figures suddenly appeared from the mist in the field of vision, and in the next breath, more than a dozen arrows tore apart the white mist , Ripples rippled in the air, and shot straight at Zhao Yun!
These must be good scouts of the Southern Huns. Even the bowstrings are hidden in the oiled paper bag next to the body, and they are hung up lightly when they are approaching. This is not inferior to the speed and power on a sunny day!
Zhao Yun twisted his wrist, shook the big gun, and the spear flickered, as if blood-red flower buds were blooming, and every spear fringe seemed to be fully bloomed and erect at this moment!
Dry cloth strips are naturally painless when they are drawn on a person, but after being wet, the cloth strips bundled into sticks can even be compared to rubber. Zhao Yun''s gun-headed red tassel was originally full of water vapor, but after it exploded suddenly, under the high-speed rotation, it was no less than a shield full of elasticity, and with a few puffs, it swept the arrow to the ground.
At this time, the Zhengxi soldiers who were tense behind Zhao Yun also reacted, uttered a cry, and the one who pushed the shield moved forward, and the one who raised the crossbow immediately leveled it, and immediately buckled the hanging knife.
In this special environment, the benefits of the crossbow machine are fully presented, not only can it be held for a long time, but also the tail of the crossbow is shorter and smaller than the arrow, which means Like an arrow, it will not be too tail-heavy and head-light to lose balance due to water absorption. At the same time, the iron wire and wooden crossbow arms are less water-absorbing than ordinary bow bodies and bowstrings, and are more suitable for combat in wet conditions.
The crossbow roared away, and in a blink of an eye, it sank into the bodies of several Huns, bursting out with brilliant blood, knocking them down to the ground.
However, more Huns rushed out of the mist, and many of them may have lost their felt hats in the process of fleeing. Among the sound, there was even the hooves of war horses. Suddenly, how many Huns flocked here, and came towards Zhao Yun viciously!
"Huchuquan!" Zhao Yun roared loudly, "General Zhengxi has arrived! Surrender quickly, spare your life!"
Zhao Yun''s sudden roar shook the valley and even suppressed all the noises. Even the white mist seemed to shrink back, and even the dozen or so Southern Huns soldiers who were about to charge , seemed to be stunned by the roar!
Amidst the roar, Zhao Yun had already shaken off his long spear, and the tip of the spear was swimming like a living dragon. In a blink of an eye, a cloud of blood sprayed out from the throat of the Southern Huns who was rushing forward, and did not stop immediately. Pounced on the few people behind!
The soldiers of the Southern Huns rushed to block with their knives and spears, but they couldn''t keep up with Zhao Yun''s speed. After meeting each other, more than a dozen soldiers of the Southern Huns rushed forward, and they couldn''t even touch the corner of Zhao Yun''s clothes. Accompanied by the sizzling sound of blood splattering under high pressure, bodies fell to the ground. Some people were not completely dead for a while, but they couldn''t scream while clutching their necks that were gushing blood, and the screams remained. There was a sound like water leaking from a leather bag.
The corpses of the Southern Huns all over the place immediately filled the mountain path. The vicious fighting spirit turned into a child''s play before Zhao Yun''s methods. It''s not that there are some Southern Huns soldiers who boasted of being brave. They rushed forward, but no matter how they brandished their weapons and roared to encourage themselves, there was still no one in front of Zhao Yun. Only the blood-colored flowers blooming between the throat and chest and abdomen proved that they were once brave Pass…
If the battlefield is open, as long as people are not afraid of death, there will always be the possibility of people rushing to Zhao Yun''s side, but this mountain road is not very wide, and the collapsed military stronghold occupies nearly half of the road, although the rush There were quite a few Southern Huns soldiers who came up, but for a while, only five or six people faced Zhao Yun side by side, which did not pose much threat to Zhao Yun.
During the fierce battle, Zhao Yun suddenly handed over his gun to his left hand, passing the saber cut by a Hun with a slightly more gorgeous and tidy robe, and then punched him in the lower abdomen, beating him like a boiled chicken. He bent like a shrimp, and while he was bending over in pain, an elbow hit the back of his head, knocking him unconscious...
"Tie it up! Take it away!" Zhao Yun shouted without looking back, "Bring it to the general!"
The soldiers behind Zhao Yun immediately understood, and quickly pulled the unlucky ghost over, and then tied his hands and feet together like a pig and sheep, and put him on the horse''s back, and someone turned on the horse and left. go.
When they were in battle, they were able to advance and retreat freely, kill as they wanted, and capture as they wanted.
Zhao Yun saw this, and a smile appeared on his originally serious face, "A certain is Zhao Zilong in Changshan, under Zhengxi''s command! Surrender quickly, so as to save your life!"
The fog gradually dissipated, and Hu Chuquan looked at Zhao Yun in front of him so bravely, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, this **** general Fei Qian, where did he find these guys, they are all enemies of ten thousand people, They are all heroes in the world!
Longevity is God, this still makes people alive...
