Vol 4 Chapter 1195: spy

Both sides fought to win the door. Several Chu cavalrymen who had been arranged in advance immediately took their bows to the sky when the team rushed to the gate. Several sounding arrows flew into the sky and made a sharp voice.
Although Tongguan is the gateway to the northwest, there are not many soldiers and horses guarding it, and they add up to only a few hundred soldiers. Three hundred cavalry rushed up and were not in a weak position above the troop strength. After the sound of the arrow, they had already been waiting for the reserve. The reinforcements quickly rushed to Tongguan.
Lu Kang followed Qi Ning to seize Tongguan, Qi Ning led the team to win the door, Lu Kang led the rest of the soldiers and horses to respond, and when he heard the sound of the arrow there, he did not hesitate to order the whole army to charge.
The Chu army ’s cavalry is not much, and the two thousand soldiers and horses who sneaked into Tongguan only had two hundred cavalry. Fortunately, hundreds of horses were captured from Qu Manbao in the halfway. At this time, Lu Kang had less than two hundred horses. Almost all the pawns were foot soldiers. He only worried about the shortage of soldiers and horses on Qi Ning's side, so he led more than a hundred rides to Tongguan, and the pawns also spread their legs and quickly supported Tongguan.
Tongguan, the first northwestern grand pass, is now fighting fiercely.
The Han soldiers guarding Tongguan knew that if Tongguan was lost, even if they fled alive here, they would have to be dealt with by military law in the future. In that case, it would be better to fight hard, and Chu Jun wanted to control Tongguan in his hands. Understand what it means for the Great Chu Empire to win the Tongguan, not to mention that Xiao Guogong, regardless of his status and nobility, leads the soldiers, so-called there will be a mortal heart, and there is no greed for the soldiers. The Xiao Guogong fights ahead. .
Being killed by a group of cavalry wearing warriors' uniforms, many Han soldiers actually only knew that the other party was an enemy, but in the end, the other party was still confused.
But at this time, it does not matter where the other party came from. What is important is that Tongguan must not be lost.
Hundreds of guards within Tongguan have already gathered from the gate to the gate side. The two sides fought fiercely. Thick corpses have piled up at the gate, and the smell is diffused in the air.
This is the first time Qi Ning has actually fought on the battlefield, and he really understands that there are only four words on the battlefield.
Without mercy, without mercy, if you do n’t kill, people will kill you.
He has thought many times that when he seizes Tongguan, it will be a fight. When he is here, he realizes that the brutality of the fight is more cruel than he thought.
Compared with the blood of the eight gangs and sixteen factions when they attacked the Black Lotus, the battle in the battlefield is another world.
Simple and original.
The sturdy Qining of the Northwestern people really learned this time. Although Tongguanshou will be beheaded by himself in the first time, the Northwest soldiers stationed in Tongguan are still fierce and unusual. Although he brought the elite of the Chu army, But the Han soldiers stationed in Tongguan are also warriors in the Northwest Army.
The corpses piled up at the gate have made it impossible for the horses to rush in. Those Chu cavalrymen in the back can only use their horses to carry their swords and rush up.
Qi Ning did not know how many people he had hacked. He only knew that the Han soldiers rushed to him one by one. When he hacked one person, the second person would quickly rush up. Chopped bluntly, grabbed another knife from the enemy, his armor was stained with blood, and his face was stained with blood.
After all, the Han soldiers could hardly resist the ferocious 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 team led by Lu Kang rushed up. He only chopped his hands, only to find that the sound around him was getting smaller and smaller. Until the end, there was no more sound, and no Han soldiers rushed to himself.
An unprecedented sense of tiredness hit the whole body. Qi Ning even felt that the strength of the whole body seemed to be used up. He shook to the side and supported the wall. At this time, someone had grabbed him and worried, "Lord, you .....! "
Qi Ning looked at it, and by the light of the fire, he saw that it was Lu Kang. He smiled reluctantly, looked around, corpses everywhere, and there was blood everywhere, and after the battle, the whole body stood like Chu State bathed in blood. Warrior, everything has been quiet, and everyone is watching him, and everyone's eyes are full of awe.
"Grandpa, Tongguan has already won." Lu Kang said with unspeakable excitement: "We won Tongguan."
The entire Tongguan was shrouded in the night. In this battle, hundreds of defenders were captured except for more than forty people, and almost everyone else was annihilated. Lu Kang quickly defended in Tongguan and completely controlled the entire Tongguan in the hands of the Chu army. .
Chu Jun also paid more than 200 lives in this battle, and hundreds of people were injured.
Qi Ning knew that it was almost impossible to complete the transportation of the bodies of these war dead to Xichuan. It made everyone register each war dead and ordered all the dead bodies including Han soldiers. Buried near Tongguan.
Hundreds of corpses cannot be dealt with overnight.
Inside the Tongguan, there is a special guard room, very simple, but quite spacious.
Qi Ning cleaned it a little, and tidied it up, so that people brought Qu Manbao over.
During the battle between the two sides, someone in the Chu army controlled Qu Manbao to prevent him from escaping.
After seeing Qi Ning, Qu Manbao looked pale, and Qi Ning glanced at him without letting him sit down, but said lightly: "If there is no help from the eldest son, Tongguan cannot win. Maybe I have been the first since ancient times. This general who won Tongguan so easily. "
Of course, Qu Manbao saw the scene of Tongguan guards almost annihilated by the whole army.
Of course, he knew that now that the Chu army controls Tongguan, the entire northwest will soon fall into the hands of the Chu army, and the vast northwestern land will soon be incorporated into the territory of the Chu state.
The Northwest, where Qu Jia relied, was completely ruined in his own hands.
He did not know what Qu Yuangu knew when Tongguan lost his defense, but he also understood that Qu Yuangu led the Northwest Army to attack Luoyang, and there was no way back. If the Northwest Army could not be defeated within two months Luoyang will be in an unprecedented crisis. The Northwest Army carried only enough grain for two months. When Qu Yuangu went on expedition, he did not worry about his logistics being cut off. After all, he had hoarded food 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 is copied, Qu Yuangu has already made progress.
The Northern Han princes compete for their position. Naturally, local forces of all sizes have their own opinions. Bei Tanghao sits in Luoyang. Bei Tangzhao leads the border troops to capture Luoyang from the north. Beitang Feng sends troops from the northwest. The three princes have only one. Can achieve the final victory.
If you follow the right person, it will naturally follow you, but if you follow the wrong way, the clan will be destroyed.
Among the three princes, Beitang Showa and Beitang Hao confronted first. After two confrontations, the two consumed a lot of power. The forces that have not participated in it are naturally waiting to see how they will change. When the time is right, they will bet all the bets.
Bei Tangfeng led tens of thousands of troops from the northwest into the customs, and Zhong Liao was dragged by the Chu people on the front line. In this case, Beitang Feng's advantage is naturally very obvious.
Once the northwestern army is like a bamboo, then the forces of the Northern Han Dynasty will naturally rush to the north hall, and even within Luoyang, there will be the possibility of officials privy to the northwest army. In this way, the north hall wind will reach the throne and will be just around the corner. Once Tang Feng is enthroned, then the Qu family will become a powerful family in the Northern Han Dynasty.
But now that the Northwest is occupied by the Chus, the Northwest Army ’s old nest is lost, and even people who are optimistic about the Northwest Army cannot believe that Beitang Wind can win the final victory. As a result, those forces that are already ready to join the Northwest Army Not only will they not be sincere to Beitang, they will even attack in groups.
Qu Manbao knew that the destruction of not only the hundreds of guards at Tongguan, but also the tens of thousands of Northwest soldiers who entered the customs, and the Qu family who had dominated the country for more than ten years in the northwest, all because of their miserable end.
His hands and feet are cold, and the young Lord Chu is full of resentment in front of him. At this time, only himself and Lord Chu are in the house. He even wants to rush to tear the other side into pieces, but his legs are weak. Thinking in my heart, I dare not take any action at all.
However, Qi Ning's harsh words still made him angry, coldly said: "Congratulations to General Qi for his outstanding work."
"The merits of the world are not on me, but on you." Qi Ning said with a smile: "When I speak, you are the champion who won Tongguan. After returning to Xianyang, I will immediately write a fold. The emperor stated your credit. I believe that it will not be long before the emperor ’s edict is 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 my great emperor Chu is ambitious. For the people of the world, naturally it is necessary to wipe out all the rebellion. My Chu army came to the northwest, of course, not just for a small Tongguan, if If everything goes well, when we arrive in Xianyang ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Xianyang has changed its flag. "Gazing at Qu Manbao, saying one by one:" The Northwest is no longer from the Northern Han Dynasty, nor is it your Qu family, but My Great Chu Empire! "
The more Qu Manbao thought, the more angry he was in his heart. What happened in the past few days quickly flashed in his mind, and suddenly said: "Vile!"
"mean?"
Qu Manbao stared at Qi Ning and said, "You ... you even put a spy on my side. If I were caught by you, would the Northwest allow you to step on foot?" He clenched his fists, annoyed more and more, and regretted it.
"The spy?" Qi Ning didn't understand what he meant, but immediately thought of the secret letter, and said quietly, "Who are you talking about the spy?"
Qu Manbao sneered: "I don't think I know that the Daosheng must be the spy you put in the northwest, but I blame me for being blind, even thinking of him as his own, and still believing in his confusion, which has caused the current catastrophe, I ... I want to smash him to pieces. "
"Dao Sheng?" Qi Ning thoughtfully, looking at the oil lamp on the table, muttering to herself: "Where is Dao Sheng holy?"
