A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1205

[Chapter 1195 Spy]

The two sides fought bloody battles for the door. When the pre-arranged Chu State cavalrymen rushed to the door, they immediately took their bows to the sky, and several loud arrows flew into the sky, making a sharp sound.

Although Tongguan is the gateway to the northwest, there are not many soldiers and horses guarding it, adding up to only a few hundred people. The three hundred cavalry swarmed up, and they were not in a weak position in terms of strength. The reinforcements rushed towards Tongguan immediately.

This time, Lu Kang followed Qi Ning to capture Tongguan, Qi Ning led the team to capture the gate, and Lu Kang led the rest of the troops to respond. Hearing the sound of arrows over there, he did not hesitate to give the order for the entire army to charge.

The Chu army did not have many cavalry, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses that attacked Tongguan were only 200 cavalry. Fortunately, they captured hundreds of horses from Qu Manbao halfway. Almost all of the soldiers were foot soldiers. He was only worried about the lack of troops and horses on Qi Ning’s side, so he led more than 100 horses to gallop towards Tongguan, and the foot soldiers also spread their legs to quickly support Tongguan.

Tongguan, the first major pass in the northwest, is currently fighting fiercely.

The Han soldiers guarding Tongguan knew that if Tongguan was lost, even if they escaped alive, they would be dealt with by military law in the future. In this case, it would be better to fight hard, and the Chu army was determined to control Tongguan in their hands. I understand what it means to capture Tongguan for the Great Chu Empire, not to mention that the small princes, regardless of their status and honor, lead the soldiers. The so-called will have the heart to die, and the soldiers have no greed for life. .

In fact, many Han soldiers only knew that the other party was the enemy, but what the other party came from, many people were still confused.

But at this time, it doesn’t matter where the other party came from. The important thing is that Tongguan must not be lost.

Hundreds of guards in Tongguan have gathered from all over the gate to the gate.

This is the first time that Qi Ning has really fought on the battlefield, and he really understands that there are only four words on the battlefield.

Without mercy, without mercy, if you don’t kill, people will kill you.

He had thought many times that when he captured Tongguan, it would be a bloody fight, and when he was in this situation, he realized that the brutality of the fight was more cruel than he imagined.

Compared to the bloodshed when the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects attacked the Black Lotus Sect, the battle on the battlefield was a completely different world.

Simple and original.

This time, Qi Ning of the Northwest had truly appreciated the agility of the Northwesterners.

Although the Tongguan guard was killed by himself immediately, these Northwestern soldiers stationed at Tongguan were still fierce and unusual. Although he brought the elites of the Chu army, But the Han soldiers stationed in Tongguan were also warriors in the Northwest Army.

The corpses piled up at the gate made it impossible for the horses to rush in. Those Chu State cavalrymen behind them could only dismount and carry their knives to rush up.

Qi Ning didn’t know how many people he had hacked to death. He only knew that the Han soldiers rushed towards him one by one. If he killed one person, the second person would rush up quickly. He was not afraid of death. He chopped bluntly and snatched another knife from the enemy’s hand. The armor on his body was already stained with blood, and even his face was covered with blood.

After all, the Han soldiers were unable to resist the fierce offensive of the Chu people, and the entire formation had been forced to retreat into the pass.

Qi Ning didn’t even know when the troops led by Lu Kang rushed forward. He only cut his hands softly, only to realize that the noise around him was getting quieter and quieter. In the end, there was no sound, and no more Han soldiers rushed towards him.

An unprecedented feeling of tiredness swept through his body, Qi Ning even felt that all the strength in his body seemed to be exhausted, and swayed to the side and supported the wall. At this time, someone had grabbed his side and worried: “Sir, you ……!”

Qi Ning looked over, and by the light of the fire, saw that the man was Lu Kang, forced a smile, looked around, there were corpses all over the place, and blood was everywhere, and there were many bloody battles all over his body as if he was covered in blood. The soldiers of Chu State who had been bathed in it, everything has quieted down, and everyone is looking at him, and everyone’s eyes are full of awe.

“Sir, Tongguan has been won.” Lu Kang said with indescribable excitement: “We have won Tongguan.” The

whole Tongguan was shrouded in darkness. In this battle, the hundreds of guards at Tongguan except for more than 40 were killed. Captured, the rest of the army was almost wiped out, but Lu Kang quickly set up defenses in Tongguan, completely controlling the entire Tongguan in the hands of the Chu army.

In this bloody battle, the Chu army also sacrificed more than 200 lives, and hundreds of people were injured.

Qi Ning knew that it was almost impossible to transport the bodies of these dead soldiers back to Xichuan at the moment. He ordered every dead soldier to be registered, and ordered all the dead bodies, including Han soldiers, to be identified. Buried near Tongguan.

Hundreds of corpses cannot be dealt with overnight.

There is a special guard room in Tongguan, which is very simple, but quite spacious.

Qi Ning did some cleaning and tidying up, and then people brought Qu Manbao over.

During the bloody battle between the two sides, someone in the Chu army controlled Qu Manbao to prevent him from escaping in the chaos.

After seeing Qi Ning’s incident, Qu Manbao’s face turned pale, Qi Ning glanced at him, but did not let him sit down, but said lightly: “If there is no help from the eldest son, Tongguan will not be able to win, perhaps throughout the ages, I am the first A general who took Tongguan so easily.”

Of course, Qu Manbao saw the sight of the Tongguan defenders being almost wiped out.

Of course, he knew that since the Chu army now controls Tongguan, the entire northwest will soon fall into the hands of the Chu army, and the vast northwest land will soon be merged into the territory of the state of Chu.

The northwest, which the Qu family relied on, was completely ruined in his own hands.

He didn’t know what Qu Yuangu would look like when he knew that Tongguan fell, but he also understood that the Northwest Army led by Qu Yuangu to attack Luoyang had no way out. If the Northwest Army could not conquer within two months Luoyang will be in an unprecedented crisis. The food and grass carried by the Northwest Army will only be enough for two months. When Qu Yuangu set out on the expedition, he was not worried that his logistics would be cut off. After all, the food he had hoarded in the northwest for many years, It can fully support the Northwest Army’s offensive against Luoyang this time.

But now that the old nest has been copied, Qu Yuangu has no retreat.

The princes of the Northern Han Dynasty competed for the throne, and the local forces naturally had their own votes. Beitanghao sat in Luoyang, Beitangzhao led the border troops from the north to capture Luoyang, and Beitangfeng sent troops from the northwest. In the end, there was only one of the three princes. can get the final victory.

If you follow the right person, you will naturally rise to the top, but if you follow the wrong person, the family will be destroyed.

Among the three princes, Beitang Showa and Beitanghao were the first to confront each other. After several confrontations, the two had a huge consumption of strength. The forces from all over the world that had not participated in it naturally waited and waited until the time was ripe before placing all their bets.

Beitangfeng led tens of thousands of troops into the customs from the northwest, and Zhong Liao was dragged by the people of the Chu country. In this case, Beitangfeng’s advantage was naturally very obvious.

Once the Northwest Army is broken, the forces of the Northern Han Dynasty will naturally defect to Beitangfeng, and even in Luoyang, there will be the possibility of officials illicitly colluding with the Northwest Army. Once Tang Feng ascends the throne, the Qu family will surely become a powerful family in the Northern Han Dynasty.

But now that the northwest is occupied by the people of Chu, and the old nest of the Northwest Army has been lost, it is impossible for people who are optimistic about the Northwest Army to believe that Beitangfeng can achieve the final victory. , not only will not surrender to Beitang Feng, but will even attack them in groups.

Qu Manbao knew that not only the hundreds of guards at Tongguan Pass, but also the tens of thousands of Northwest soldiers who entered the pass, as well as the Qu family who had dominated the Northwest for more than ten years, all because of his tragic end.

His hands and feet were cold, and the young Lord Chu made him full of resentment. At this time, there were only himself and Lord Chu in the house. He even wanted to rush up to tear him to pieces, but his legs were weak. I thought to myself, but didn’t dare to do anything at all.

But Qi Ning’s harsh words still made him angry, and he said coldly, “Congratulations to General Qi for his inescapable achievement.

” “I’ll tell you what I’m saying. You are the first person to win Tongguan. After returning to Xianyang, I will immediately write a book and state your merits to the emperor. I believe that it won’t be long before the emperor’s edict will be sent to the northwest. I believe that the emperor will be very generous to the eldest son.”

“Xianyang?” Qu Manbao’s eyes twitched.

Qi Ning sighed: “The eldest son should understand that I, the Emperor of Chu, have great ambitions, and for the sake of the people of the world, naturally I want to sweep away all rebellions. The army of the state of Chu came to the northwest, of course, not only for the small Tongguan, if If all goes well, by the time we arrive in Xianyang, UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com Xianyang has already changed its flag.” Staring at Qu Manbao, he said word by word, “The northwest is no longer from the Northern Han Dynasty, nor is it your Qu family’s, but It belongs to my Great Chu Empire!” The more Qu Manbao thought about it, the

more angry he felt in his heart, the events of the past few days flashed through his mind, and he suddenly said, “Despicable!”

“Despicable?”

Qu Manbao stared at Qi Ning and said, “You guys. ……You actually planted spies beside me, if I hadn’t been fooled by you, how would the Northwest allow you to set foot?” He clenched his fists, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, regretting the beginning.

“Spy?” Qi Ning didn’t understand what he meant, but he immediately thought of the secret letter and said calmly, “Who are you talking about as a spy?”

Qu Manbao sneered: “Don’t think I don’t know, that Daosheng It must be the spies you planted in the northwest. I just blame me for being blind, treating him as one of my own, and listening to his bewitching. This caused the current disaster. I…I want to shred his body. Thousands of paragraphs.”

“Daosheng?” Qi Ning thoughtfully looked at the oil lamp on the table and muttered to himself, “Where is Daosheng?”
