Chapter Eight
Luo Long, the commander of the Feilong regiment, replied: "Chief of Staff, Hu Jun was already there an hour ago, but there was no movement."
"Hu Jun is waiting," Qian Xiaoxing put down his telescope and said, "Where are they waiting for Lin Jun to pick up our retreat? Have the soldiers all eaten?"
Xiong Yitan, the leader of the lion regiment, replied: "Not yet, I am afraid that the Hu army will suddenly launch an attack and dare not leave."
The leader of the Tiger Regiment, Leoth, covered his stomach and smiled, "My hungry stomach is roaring. Hu Jun will not come early or late, but he will come during the meal. It's so vicious."
After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "Let the soldiers have dinner immediately and let Hu Jun wait hungry."
The three of them were stunned after hearing this. Although they were afraid that Hu army would attack, since Qian Xiaoxing had given orders, he had no objection and went down to make arrangements.
Qian Xiaoxing had lunch with everyone, and after that, he suddenly smiled and thought of a bad idea.
Military flags were flying five hundred meters away from Cangkong Pass, and the 30,000 troops of Hu's vanguard had gathered here. The soldiers were all ready to go and were ready to rush to Cangkong Pass at all times.
Sima Yiqing shook the feather fan with his hand and sat in the carriage. The people were also a little stuffy. Seeing that the sun was already above his head, but there was still no movement at all at the Cangqiu Pass. Sima Yiqing shook the feather fan a few times, and was secretly confused in his heart.
This time, Sima Yiqing chose two deputy generals, a pair of brothers, the older brother was Zheng Chang, and the younger brother was Zheng Tong. He was also a general who was the only one in Hu Kingdom. The eldest was only thirty, and the second was only one year away.
The two of them are very skilled in martial arts and have quite experienced in leading troops. This time, Sima Yiqing led the troops, so he naturally chose the best generals of Hu.
The Zheng brothers wore red tassels and golden armor, and stood beside Sima Yiqing on horseback. Zheng Tong murmured in a low voice: "Brother, I have been waiting for two hours, why haven't I heard any movement yet? The soldiers are hungry."
Zheng Chang held the reins in his hand and looked at Cangkongguan and replied: "The Grand Master naturally has his ideas, so we should not ask too much."
Sima Yiqing looked at the sun, but couldn't help it. He got out of the carriage and asked, "General Zheng Chang, the soldiers who were inquiring ahead were not injured, right?"
Zheng Chang clasped his fists and replied, "Tai Shi, the soldiers are not injured, and they have come back from time to time to report."
"Did the agreement between Lin Guo and us break? There is no need for Lin Guo to play with us?" Sima Yiqing said in confusion.
After hearing this, the Zheng brothers didn't know how to answer, so they could only remain silent. While the three of them were confused, a soldier came back to report: "Taishi, the Grand Master, there were already shouts of killing at Cangqiong Pass, and the soldiers on the pass were also restless."
Sima Yiqing was immediately delighted after hearing this, and said with a feather fan on his hand and said, "It's great! It seems that Lin's army has arrived, and you will attack me immediately."
"Yes!" the Zheng brothers answered with the order.
The horn of the attack sounded, and the cheering drums rumbling. Thirty thousand Hu troops rushed to Cangkong Pass quickly. Many of the troops carried long ladders and wooden boats. When they arrived at the moat of Cangkong Pass, they put wooden boats into the moat, and then placed them on the long ladders to build a simple floating bridge.
Sima Yiqing had long studied the defense of Cangkong Pass. The 50-meter-wide moat cannot use siege cars and rushing vehicles. They can only attack based on ladders. The water depth of the moat is only two meters. If the ladder is inserted into the water, you can climb above the pass. Without the assistance of Lin Jun, you will basically not be able to attack with force for defense like Cangkong Pass. However, with the Lin Jun working inside and outside, the effect will be different.
Qian Xiaoxing and three regiment commanders watched Hu Jun coming in the command building, laughing loudly. Leoz said: "The Chief of Staff asked the soldiers to yell a few times, and he really attracted Hu Jun. Damn, I'm going to beat these Hu Jun this time."
Qian Xiaoxing also laughed secretly. Sima Yiqing's move to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, and if it works inside and outside, it is really vicious. However, now it is time for Sima Yiqing to taste it with one trick. Seeing that Hu Jun was attacking, he said, "You three go down and lead the troops and beat Hu Jun hard!"
"Yes!" The three regiment commanders immediately returned to their respective defensive strongholds.
Qian Xiaoxing looked at the situation and there was already a large number of Hu Jun in the moat. He rushed over while stepping on the floating bridge. It seemed that Sima Yiqing had some ways to attack the pass with a moat, so he shouted to the microphone in front of him: "Luo Long obeys the order and shoots the arrow immediately!"
The archer downstairs had already set his bow and arrows. After hearing Qian Xiaoxing's order, Luo Long waved his hand to the row of archers, "Let it go!"
The archers immediately shot out feather arrows, and suddenly a "whistle" sound came everywhere, and the "ah ah" sound was also responding in the water. After the archers in front shot, they took a step back. The archers behind had already set up their bows and waited, and immediately pushed them up. Two rows of archers took turns to shoot arrows. The dense feather arrows in the sky were shot into the moat in front of them.
The Zheng brothers protected Sima Yiqing and also went forward to command. When they saw Si Jun's feather arrows falling like rain, Hu soldiers were shot to death in the water, they were heartbroken.
Zheng Chang looked at the three big words "Cangqiong Pass" on the city gate and said, "The design of Cangqiong Pass is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not an easy thing to fight and break the Cangqiong."
The war drums were pounding, and Hu Jun shouted and rushed forward, but to cross the moat, they had to set up a ladder, so that they could not use shields to resist the attack of feather arrows. They were completely using human-sea tactics, hoping to have some attacks.
Some Hu army worked hard to get under the city wall and tried to raise the long ladder, but after setting up the long ladder, the soldiers were shot one after another, and no subsequent soldiers could go up the ladder.
Zheng Tong was a little impatient, watching the soldiers rushing forward bravely regardless of their death, and said anxiously: "There is no chance to fight like this, and it's all for nothing."
Zheng Chang said sternly: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense! The Lin army has already launched an attack on the Si army behind Cangqiong Pass. If it is not taken down in one go, it will be even more difficult to attack in the future."
Sima Yiqing seemed to have not heard them, but just squinted at Si Jun on the city wall, thought for a while and immediately said: "Retreat the troops, withdraw the troops immediately!"
The Zheng brothers were stunned for a moment when they heard this, but they didn't dare to ask more questions. They immediately ordered to withdraw their troops. The sound of gold was tinging, and Hu Jun retreated after hearing this.
Qian Xiaoxing was commanding the soldiers of the Independent Brigade in the command platform to kill him, but he saw the sound of Hu Jun's sound of gold. The soldiers turned around and ran away, wanting to eat all the 30,000 Hu troops, but he did not expect the Hu army to retreat so soon.
"Crosscross machine, catapult cart attack me!" Qian Xiaoxing immediately ordered.
Thirty crossbows on the top of the city wall immediately fired, and crossbow arrows as thick as arms flew towards the retreating Hu Jun. They immediately threw a large stone into the Hu Jun. The rolling stones injured several people before stopping.
Sima Yiqing was also rushing away by the retreating soldiers, but saw a big stone falling beside him and hitting the head of the soldiers next to him. His brains splattered everywhere, making Sima Yiqing's face full of blushing.
Sima Yiqing was immediately frightened when he saw this. It turned out that death was so close to him. As long as the big stone was half a meter away, the person who died was him.
"Trial Master, go!" Zheng Chang shouted immediately when he saw Sima Yiqing in a daze.
Zheng Tong simply pulled Sima Yiqing with one hand and ran back quickly. The soldiers behind were attacked by the Si army and screamed from time to time, while the rest of the uninjured ran desperately.
Sima Yiqing ran out of the attack distance of Si Jun panting, and then looked back at the battlefield. He saw corpses lying along the way, with blood flowing all over the ground, gathering in low-lying places, and some wounded people were moving and wailing on the ground. In front of Cangqiu Pass, there were corpses floating in the moat, which was shocking and unbearable to look at them again.
The Zheng brothers also wiped their sweat. Sima Yiqing was almost thrown by a huge rock just now. If the main general died, they would be punished for their poor protection, and they might lose their heads.
