Chapter 88 Yumen Pass
"My sons, kill the enemy!"
After beheading Ke Luo, Hua Xiong roared loudly.
Waves of terrifying momentum gathered and roared around him.
"promise!"
There are more than ten thousand Xiliang warriors under his command, riding horses and holding swords like waves in the sea, devouring the Xichu cavalry on the verge of collapse.
"Pfft, pfft!"
Wherever the hooves of Xiliang's iron horses stepped, countless Xichu cavalrymen clutched their throats and fell off their horses.
Deep red and bright blood flowers kept blooming on the Xiliang scimitars in their hands.
"Devils, they are devils!"
The remaining few thousand Xichu cavalrymen ran away from the camp, howling in fear.
"Follow me and leave no one behind!"
How could Hua Xiong, who was as hungry as a tiger, let go of the meat that came to his mouth?
"promise!"
The athletes under his command agreed in unison, and then they all galloped on their horses to kill the remaining enemies of Western Chu.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, in the vast grassland, how could these Xichu cavalry who were in a hurry to choose their way escape the pursuit of the Xiliang cavalry.
As time went by, they continued to die on this fertile and abundant pasture.
Half an hour later, this night attack battle was completely over.
All 30,000 Western Chu cavalrymen were killed, and no one escaped.
Large areas of corpses of Western Chu soldiers were strewn across the entire battlefield.
The bright red blood flowing from their bodies looked very noticeable in the deep night.
"General, 870 of our sons were killed in this battle!"
"Destroyed approximately 30,000 enemies!"
After the battlefield was cleaned, a Xiliang captain reported the battle damage and enemy annihilation to Hua Xiong in a low voice.
This battle can be regarded as a glorious victory. Ten thousand people slaughtered three times the enemy's number, and the own casualties were less than one-tenth.
"Bury the fallen men on the spot!"
After Hua Xiong nodded slightly, he asked the captain in a deep voice to bury the Xiliang cavalry who died in the battle on the spot.
"promise!"
The captain of Xiliang accepted the promise with his hands, then turned around and strode away.
……………
Liangzhou, Yumen Pass.
This is a newly built Xiongguan Pass built by Tao Zongwang, a nine-tailed turtle.
It took him less than ten days to build such a majestic pass with a city height of ten feet and a wall of nine feet thick.
"With this majestic pass, we can repel hundreds of thousands of barbarians!"
Su Lie, dressed in military uniform, stood on the towering city wall of Yumen Pass and couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.
The location of Yumen Pass is very special. It is like a black dragon lying across the northernmost point of the Qin Dynasty, directly blocking the threat from the north.
It can be said that if the Jade Gate is not broken, the barbarians in the north will not be able to take a step across the Qin Dynasty.
"Commander, the general found traces of barbarians from outside the territory at the border!"
At this moment, Guo Sheng, dressed in white robe and holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, strode over from behind Su Lie.
Ever since he learned that the barbarians were heading south, Su Lie deployed hundreds of thousands of troops on the border and sent people to patrol the border every day.
The purpose was to prevent barbarians from outside the region from suddenly attacking Da Qin.
"How many barbarians are there?"
"How strong is it!"
After hearing this, Su Lie's face suddenly became serious.
He did not dare to look down upon the barbarians from outside the territory.
"Reporting back to the commander-in-chief, the number of people should be only a little over 6,000, but the strength of that group of barbarians is extremely terrifying. When the general looked at it from a distance, he found that the barbarians with the lowest strength were all innate at the seventh level!"
Guo Sheng replied in a deep voice, with a solemn look on his face.
If he hadn't realized that the gap in strength was too large, Guo Sheng, who called himself Sai Rengui, would have killed him on horseback.
'"Seventh level of innateness!?"
Hearing this, Su Lie's brows suddenly wrinkled.
The Liangzhou Legion that protects the northern border of the Qin Dynasty has an average strength around the third level of innate strength. They are absolutely elite in the Eastern Spiritual Territory, but when faced with the barbarians from outside the territory, they pale in comparison.
"Assemble 10,000 sergeants Fengming, I will personally meet this barbarian from outside the territory!"
After pondering for a long time, Su Lie gave the order loudly.
He wanted to understand the strength of the barbarians on the ground so as to lay a solid foundation for future defense or offense.
"promise!"
Guo Sheng clasped his fists in agreement, then turned around and went to the pass to gather troops and horses.
………………
Half an hour later!
More than 800 elite and powerful Xuanwu knights took the lead in rushing out of the Jade Gate of Xiongguan.
They are Su Lie's personal bodyguards. Whenever Su Lie goes on an expedition, they will definitely accompany him.
Behind the eight hundred Xuanwu knights were ten thousand Fengming sergeants wearing heavy armor.
"Guo Sheng, come and lead the way!"
At the front of the team, Su Lie, holding a giant Xuanwu ax, asked Guo Sheng to lead the way in a deep voice.
"promise!"
Guo Sheng stood on the horse and clasped his fists in agreement. Then he held a square-shaped halberd and rushed to the front of the team.
"The whole army obeys the order and follows General Guo!"
Su Lie looked at Guo Sheng's back and ordered in a deep voice.
"promise!"
More than 10,000 soldiers behind him all agreed in unison.
The steps, as dense as a torrential rain, echoed on the not-so-wide border path.
Huge smoke and dust, like the breath of a yellow dragon, spread wherever the Liangzhou Army passed.
"hiss!"
An hour later, Guo Sheng suddenly reined in his horse and stopped.
"Commander, less than a mile ahead of this place is where the barbarians are!"
He spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with emotion.
He is an extremely strong person, otherwise he would not call himself Sai Rengui.
He is eager to fight, and he wants to fight with Zhong to prove to the world that he, Guo Sheng, has lived up to his nickname of Sai Rengui.
Su Lie nodded slightly, and then his eyes sharpened.
"Guo Sheng, do you dare to lead the army to ascend first?"
"Why don't you dare!"
Hearing the sound, Guo Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then burst out in joy.
What an honor it is to serve first in the army. Even if he dies on the battlefield, Guo Sheng will not regret it.
"In that case, you can mobilize my personal guards at will!"
Su Lie, dressed in military uniform, spoke in a deep voice.
He looked at Guo Sheng with a hint of appreciation.
He is supporting Guo Sheng, he likes this kind of younger generation who is stronger at heart.
Now that the opportunity has been given to Guo Sheng, it's up to him whether he can seize it or not.
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Guo Sheng bowed and saluted, his eyes full of gratitude.
He is not a naive person like Wu Tianxi, he knows that Su Lie is trying to support him.
"Go for it!"
Su Lie nodded slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"promise!"
