Chapter 67 Get drunk on
When Shi Lang came to the third gate, it was already very lively. The shouting and killing were in a row, but the soldiers on both sides just pulled their necks and shouted, and they didn't take the knives and guns in their hands, as if they were talking loudly in the competition.
The beacon on the mountain has already been lit, and several fires were lit on both sides, making thick smoke rush up to the sky. From a distance, it must be very tragic, especially the sound of earth-moving war drums, stirred back and forth between the mountains, and the sound spread for dozens of miles.
The gate of the gate has already been opened, and the 500 elite soldiers responsible for capturing the fourth gate are passing through the gate in an orderly manner.
Axe Broken Gorge belongs to a dangerous place where a man can't be opened, so there are not many defenders stationed at each gate. The most soldiers are 1,000 people at the last gate, and the rest are 500 to 700. Therefore, it is already rich and rich to send 500 people to seize the fourth pass. These are all selected warriors.
Walking in front of these 500 people are the guards at the third gate of more than a hundred people. Their faces are smeared with sheep's blood, their helmets are crooked, and some of them are wrapped with cloth strips on their heads and bodies, looking like fleeing soldiers.
Arrive at the turning point of a canyon, Gong Meng, the guard of the third pass, said to Yi Jun, "Turn this corner, and there will be the fourth pass within two miles. Let's ambush here. When you hear the sound of the horn, we have done it. Please rush to seize the pass immediately." After saying that, he turned to his own people and said, "Brothers, pretend to be a little bit for me. Whoever shows a flaw is a big deal to ruin the lord of the country!"
Some of the more than a hundred people immediately showed all kinds of misery, grinning, some covered their heads, some grabbed their arms, and some rolled on the ground to make their clothes more embarrassed. Gong Meng waved his hand and ran out first, and the rest of them followed sparsely.
The guard of the fourth gate has long heard the sound of war drums in front of him. Looking at the thick smoke rising at the gate, he was frightened. At this time, he saw Gong Meng running in embarrassment and knew that the third gate was lost.
"General He, open the door and let our brothers in! The gate has been lost, and Yi Jun will come soon!" Gong Meng shouted loudly from afar.
"How did you lose it so quickly?" General He asked doubtfully.
"Grandma, Yi Jun came for no less than 30,000 yuan, and he took turns to attack fiercely. Zhao Da was afraid of this bastard. He took someone to open the door. Hurry up, Yi Jun will come later!"
General He looked into the distance again. He didn't dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly opened the door, and then shouted to Gong, "You legs and feet faster. General Gong, please come up quickly. You and I will have a good discussion." Although the two princes have continuous friction, the relationship between the two defenders is not bad. Naturally, they will not die at this time. Moreover, when he heard that the Yi army was fierce, General He still expected these people to help guard the pass.
After Gong Meng and others entered the gate, they cut without saying a knife. The person in charge of the summons immediately blew the horn. When General He heard the fight below, he knew that he had been tricked. Seeing hundreds of Yi troops rushing out of the turning point like tigers coming out of the cage, he suddenly stamped his feet, turned around and ran down, and shouted to the bodyguard: " Let's run away!"
Half an hour before Yi Jun bluffed at the third gate, a team of about 600 people from the Duke of Xiang came to the last gate, and the leader's generals were informed that they were going to change the defense.
The defenders at this gate are the cronies of King Shun. The guards heard the news and went to the juncension. Those who saw the Duke of Xiang had put aside all their weapons. This is the rule of passing the customs. People pass first, and the weapons are carried by the guards here to prevent stealing customs. In fact, if it is strictly according to the regulations, this weapon must be put out of the place of an arrow, but after a long time, everyone is too lazy to do that, and the rules will be abolished.
When the general saw that the leader was an acquaintance, he greeted him in person and asked with a smile, "Brother, have you been sent to this hard job again?"
The leader came to him and sighed, "Alas, I don't have a backer. Isn't it hard to go? After staying here for half a year, I was sent again less than a year after I went back.
The guard general curled his lips and said, "No matter how hard you are, you can't compare with me. I've been here for three years."
The general also curled his lips and said, "Don't be cheap. The king trusts you. Who doesn't know that you will be promoted when you go back. I suffer for nothing, but there is no hope for promotion."
The guard general showed joy and said, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense. I don't know how to do it at that time."
Seeing that the soldiers had entered the customs nearly half, the general smiled and said, "It's not necessary. I'm sure I know it now."
When he heard the news about his promotion, he asked happily, "What did you hear?"
The leader put his arms around his shoulder and said with a smile on his face, "I haven't heard that if you don't know each other, this official will do it." With that, he turned his hand and put a short knife against his abdomen. "Our prince is against him. The army of the State of Yi will arrive soon. If you want to know the prince, you will have a heavy reward. Your official position must be higher than now. If you don't know him, I will send you underground to be an official now."
The matter came too suddenly. The guard general had already felt the sharp blade passing through his clothes, and his face immediately turned pale, "You...you...this..."
"Smile, my people have entered the customs. It's useless for you to shout out. They all have sharp blades hidden on their bodies. There are still hundreds of responders behind me. They can kill them as soon as they fight here. You can't keep this barrier. You'd better know each other. In the past, I will try my best to replace you in front of the prince. It's a good word."
At this stage, the general knows that they can't keep this pass. Since they dare to do this, they must be well-planned. He smiled sadly and said, "I trust you so much, but you..."
"I know the brother's love in my heart, so I said that I would say good words for you in front of the king. Now I have no intention to die in vain. You have to think carefully. You will have nothing with my hands."
The general lamented and said, "Does the national referendum rely on Yi Guo?"
"Yes, Yi Guo promised to help us establish the country. This time, Zhao and Yi joined hands to defeat Shun. Shunguo is almost the same even if it is not destroyed. Those who know the current affairs are Junjie. I don't need to say anything else."
The guard general bowed his head and thought for a moment, "I hope the general will not bully you again in front of the prince." After saying that, he turned his head and called the messenger and ordered, "Let the soldiers line up in front of the gate."
The leader smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brothers really understand people."
The guard general smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do? You should take this knife back."
"Please forgive my extra-hearted crime. When the soldiers line up, I will take a knife to make amends to my brother at that time."
"You are such a fine person." The guard general shook his head with a wry smile.
After the five entrances of the Axe Broken Gorge fell into the middle, Yi Jun gushed out of the Axe Broken Gorge like a big river, and went to carry out the tasks they shouldered in several ways.
