A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1204

[Chapter 1194 Capture the door]

Qi Ning didn’t even know when the secret letter got into his hands.

Before walking out of the Meridian Road, Qi Ning summoned Duan Canghai and other cadres to deploy the specific battle plan. When the allocation was completed, he found a letter inexplicably appeared at his feet. If he hadn’t glanced underground, he didn’t even notice it. to the existence of that letter.

Strange in his heart, he opened the letter and couldn’t help being surprised.

The letter was not signed, but it informed Qi Ning that the guard of Xianyang, Qu Manbao, would soon leave Xianyang for Tongguan, and the number of soldiers and horses accompanying him would not exceed 500. The letter even clearly suggested that Qi Ning Qu Manbao set up an ambush on his way to Tongguan. As long as Qu Manbao was captured, then taking Tongguan would be an easy task.

Not only that, the letter also clearly stated the deployment of Xianyang’s troops and horses. There was even a brief map of Xianyang in the envelope, indicating that the layout of Xianyang City had been clearly deployed.

The battle was imminent, and the appearance of such an incredible secret letter really surprised Qi Ning.

Of course, he couldn’t be sure whether the letter was true or not, so he immediately summoned Duan Canghai. Duan Canghai read the secret letter and was greatly surprised, but the two of them didn’t know where the letter came from.

A secret letter appeared inexplicably, reporting the truth and falsehood of Xianyang. If the information in the letter is accurate, of course, it is impossible to ask for it. If you know yourself and the enemy, you can naturally design the next battle plan carefully, but in case there is something else in this letter. Figure, is it necessary to renegotiate combat deployment because of this letter?

At this critical juncture, the appearance of such a secret letter is really surprising.

The two discussed for a long time, and the original battle plan did not change much. Qi Ning still commanded 2,000 soldiers and horses to turn northeast and rushed towards Tongguan, while Duan Canghai led the main force of the Chu army to attack Xianyang from the north.

Qi Ning led his troops to go out day and night, and the speed was not fast. He sent scouts to pay attention to whether Qu Manbao would really lead people to Tongguan, but the facts proved that what the secret letter said was true. After Qu Manbao set off from Xianyang, he soon fell into In Qi Ning’s field of vision, Qi Ning sent someone to pay close attention to Qu Manbao’s movements, but Qu Manbao had no idea that he had become the prey in Qi Ning’s eyes.

Qi Ning did not act rashly, but only waited for the best time. Two thousand soldiers surrounded Qu Manbao and three hundred warriors at night, and captured the eldest son of the Qu family without much effort.

When the scouts discovered Qu Manbao’s whereabouts, Qi Ning already knew that Qu Manbao was the turtle in the urn, and at that time he had already thought of a way to capture Tongguan.

Tong Pass is steep and

sturdy. Qi Ning’s heart has been troubled from the very beginning. He knows that to take Tong Pass, attacking it by force is the best way. its taken.

He didn’t even think that he could hit it with one blow. As long as the Tongguan guards were in danger, even if they had ten times the strength of the opponent, it would be difficult to take them down.

In the plan, if I can’t take Tongguan as fast as possible, I can only wait until Duan Canghai takes Xianyang first, and then the main force of the Chu army rushes to Tongguan, rushing to lay down Tongguan before Qu Yuangu returns to help, and move from the inside to Guanzhong. It is extremely difficult to attack Tongguan, but if Tongguan is attacked from the direction of Guanzhong, the difficulty will be weaker. When the whole army storms Tongguan, it may not be impossible to win it.

It’s just that he never imagined that the development of things would be much smoother than he thought.

Qu Manbao waited until God gave him the key to open Tongguan, and after holding Qu Manbao, Qi Ning ordered three hundred elite soldiers to change into the equipment of warriors, and took Qu Manbao to the Tongguan fortress. Charge in, and quickly release the signal, as long as the reserve troops in ambush in the distance receive the signal, they will quickly rush to help.

The only variable that exists is that Qu Manbao has the backbone to face the battle, in order to prevent Tongguan from being captured by the Chu army and reveal the secret to the defenders.

But Qi Ning believed that Qu Manbao was not that kind of backbone person. If he really had backbone, he wouldn’t kneel down and beg him.

Qu Manbao did not disappoint Qi Ning.

Qi Ning was already prepared. As long as Qu Manbao leaked the secret, he would be the first to kill him to deter the defenders of Tongguan. Fortunately, Qu Manbao always put his life first. The son’s life is on a par.

The gate of the pass slowly opened, and the three hundred elite soldiers of the state of Chu, disguised as warriors, tensed up, knowing that the fight was imminent.

The door opened, Xue Ren came out first, and Qi Ning had already said, “In the past!”

Qu Manbao knew that if he changed a little at this time, Qi Ning would kill him mercilessly, and he could only rely on Qi As Ning said, he flicked the reins of the horse and headed to the gate first. Qi Ning and the cavalry immediately followed.

Xue Ren saw that three hundred cavalrymen followed Qu Manbao towards the gate, and came forward to meet them. They were six or seven paces away and said: “Eldest son, the general has an order. Except for the guards at Tongguan, no other soldiers and horses should be easily approached. The son went first to take a rest, but these brothers are still…!” He raised his finger and pointed at the cavalry behind Qu Manbao, and said with a smile: “This subordinate will arrange for someone to bring food out.”

Qu Manbao said “ah”, The horses kept going, and the three hundred warriors behind them still had no plans to stop.

Xue Ren frowned and glanced at it. He saw that the cavalrymen had already held down the hilt of the saber on his waist, and then saw that Qu Manbao’s face was a little wrong. He suddenly realized something, his body was shocked, he turned and rushed towards the gate, shouting loudly. He said

, “Close the door!”

He quickly stepped under his feet, but Qi Ning had already shouted, and the warhorse rushed out. In the blink of an eye, he was already behind Xue Ren. At this time, he also drew his sword and waved it at Xue Ren. Immediately cut off.

Xue Ren is worthy of being the general of Tongguan. Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, he had already drawn out his saber. He felt the strong wind blowing over his head. , sparks splattered.

At this time, the elite cavalry of the state of Chu, who were dressed as warriors, had already rushed towards the opened Tongguan gate like a tide.

Everyone knows that Xiao Guogong has spent all his time waiting for this moment. The Tongguan gate has opened in front of him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this one, there will be no second chance. Rush in before.

Although the guards saw that Xue Ren had been entangled, they had been stationed here for many years and had already had a set of strict military orders. At this time, they could not care about Xue Ren at all. Its tightly shut.

It’s just that the gate of Tongguan is unusual, extremely thick, even heavier and stronger than the city gate of Xianyang.

Seeing the cavalry on the opposite side rushing over, dozens of people have rushed out from behind the gate, that is to give up their lives to block the enemy soldiers, and the archers above the pass have realized that the situation is not right, and they reacted quickly. The cavalry shot arrows again and again.

Both sides are fighting for time.

Xue Ren blocked Qi Ning’s slash, and there were already cavalry rushing towards him.

Qi Ning went down and was blocked by Xue Ren. The body of the blade slid down Xue Ren’s blade. With a flick of his hand, the blade had cut Xue Ren’s wrist. When Xue Ren’s wrist hurt, the meridians on his wrist had been cut off, and the entire arm was immediately cut off. With no strength, the big knife in his hand fell out of his hand, Qi Ning slashed again, Xue Ren opened his eyes, his neck was already slashed by the big knife, and blood spurted out.

The cavalry in the front waved their swords, and when they saw dozens of guards rushing over from the pass, they were about to fight, but they heard the sound of “swish, swish”, and a rain of arrows came from the top of the city. The cavalry was hit by a sharp arrow, and the horses turned over. At this moment, the group of Tongguan guards who were charging towards them also fell to the ground with arrows.

But it turned out that the three hundred Chu country elites were skilled in riding bows and horses. When they saw the guards coming out to resist, they knew that once they fought, they would definitely delay time. The gate of Tongguan was closed little by little. When charging, he retracted his sword, took his bow, and shot at the group of soldiers.

The archers and archers on the top of the city were Chu Qi, and the Chu State archers also shot down the guards at the pass. The arrows flew wildly for a while, and the horses neighed.

Qi Ning slashed and killed Xue Ren with a knife, his legs tucked into the horse’s belly, and the warhorse shot towards the gate like an arrow from a string.

The cavalry and the cavalry were not far from the gate. At this time, they rushed over on horseback. In the blink of an eye, many cavalrymen approached the gate, and the archers at the juncture were also very agile. They did not shoot randomly, but only aimed at the target. The cavalry who charged at the forefront.

Although Qi Ning didn’t ride the amazing horse in order not to be too conspicuous, but the horse under the crotch is also the best horse in a hundred, with long fat legs and extremely fast speed, although he killed Xue. Jen delayed for a while, but in the blink of an eye he rushed to the front again.

The archer bridge at the juncture saw that Qi Ning was the murderer who killed the main general, and saw him rushing forward, and seven or eight sharp arrows had already shot straight at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning swung the knife to block the arrows and opened several arrows, but two still shot him, but the arrows did not penetrate Qi Ning’s body. Naturally, those archers did not know that Qi Ning was wearing black python scales, not to mention the mere arrows. Arrow, even the sword and the sword can hardly hurt his skin.

Just at this moment, Qi Ning’s war horse had rushed to the gate.

Seeing that the gate was about to close, Qi Ning shouted loudly, and the warhorse under his crotch rushed forward like lightning. Qi Ning raised the knife and fell, and the light of the knife flashed. It was already slashing two people in a row. The warhorse neighed and stood alone. When he woke up, Qi Ning’s face was stern, blood on the knife, and for a while, it was like a god descending from the earth.

A few spearmen were grabbed by the side and stabbed at Qi Ning, but before the spear tip touched Qi Ning, several fast horses rushed forward, and the cavalry immediately slashed with their knives. For a time, the two sides fought desperately at the gate.
