Chapter 44 The Eve of the Battle
(one)
Let’s talk about Baili Shouyue running wildly to the bottom of Yanmen Pass. For several days, the door has been closed and not allowed to pass.
Shouyue groped in his arms to find the signal fireworks, but he was lost when he ran so fast. He had to put the musket in his hand on gunpowder, fired a shot into the sky, and shouted to the closed stone house: "General Su! Report urgently!"
There was an immediate reaction in the stone house. As a light flashed and turned off on the observation deck outside the house, the two of them opened the door. Baili Shou met with a soldier from the Tang Dynasty. He rushed into the pass without paying attention and flew to the stone house.
There was a dim oil lamp in the stone house, which was no different from when I left, except that there was one more person, not tall, wearing a red official uniform, and a pair of big eyes shining.
"Urgent report!" Baili Shouyou said to Su Lie.
Su Lie nodded, stood up and said to Baili Shouyue, "The reinforcements from Chang'an will arrive soon, this is General Li Yunfang, the vanguard cavalry."
While speaking, he led Shouyou to Li Yuanfang, and Baili Shouyou bowed to the little man.
Li Yuanfang returned the courtesy and said, "Thank you for your hard work, what's the situation ahead?"
Baili Shouyue said, "The army of 'Whites' is about 200,000, and is heading towards Yanmen Pass. Gongjin and I resisted for a while fifty miles away, slowing down their marching speed. However, the enemy was well prepared and attacked with the 'Xuanxiang' formation. We could not resist and could only come back to report the news..."
Xiao Qiao suddenly rushed to Baili Shoujie, grabbed his arm and said, "Where is Brother Gongjin?"
Baili Shouyue lowered his head and sighed.
Xiao Qiao looked at his expression and was so anxious that she was tearful that she shook Shouyue's arm hard and said, "Why didn't my brother come back with you? Why?"
(two)
Baili Shouyue raised his head and said to everyone: "In order to allow me to escape safely, Gongjin brought the enemy's information to Yanmen Pass and faced the enemy alone. Now I'm afraid there will be many dangers..."
Xiao Qiao suddenly stayed in place. Her mood has experienced ups and downs these days. Now she is almost collapsed. Da Qiao hurriedly got up and pulled Xiao Qiao to the stone bed to sit down. Xiao Qiao's eyes were dull, and suddenly stood up, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down staggeringly. Everyone quickly let her lie flat on the stone bed. Da Qiao's tears flowed like a spring. Su Lie reached out to explore Xiao Qiao's breath and said to Da Qiao: "She is anxious and will not be in danger of life..."
Li Bai also stepped forward to comfort him. Da Qiao could not hear it, and he just touched Xiao Qiao's face and cried quietly.
Han Xin said to Su Lie: "How many soldiers are guarding Yanmen Pass now?"
Su Lie said: "General Li Yuanfang brought 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry stationed in Yanmen Pass, and another 5,000 crossbowmen."
Han Xin asked anxiously: "Where are you going to set up a village now?"
Su Lie looked at Han Xin, who was leaning against the stone bed and pale-faced, and replied: "Two miles inside the pass, my military talisman is needed to mobilize me. Should I mobilize troops to meet the enemy outside the pass?"
Han Xin shook his head and said, "Immediately, I'll order the defenders to retreat three miles!"
Su Lie looked confused, and everyone was puzzled.
Han Xin said: "The information brought back by Guanfu is very important. If I was not wrong, the enemy used Sun Bin's Xuanxiang Formation. The Qin army is the most suitable for this formation. The Qin army is best at strong bows and hard crossbows! And..."
Han Xin paused and continued: "The Qin army's strong bows and hard crossbows are not intended to kill the enemy. They prefer to fire thousands of arrows at the same time before siege the city to demonstrate the power of the Qin army, so we must avoid its edge!"
(three)
Li Yuanfang said, "I have heard of this method of the Qin army. The range of their crossbows is far beyond our expectations. Once the crossbows are fired, the defenders will be completely killed."
After saying that, Yuan Fang took out the military talisman from his arms and said to Su Lie: "Now I have 10,000 vanguard cavalry. I am willing to obey General Su's orders. Another 80,000 reinforcements are expected to arrive tomorrow morning."
Su Lie hurriedly refused: "General Li uses troops above me, and the general is above me, so I should cooperate with him with all my strength."
Li Bai stepped forward and said, "This is the life and death of Yanmen Pass. If you fail, you may be devastated by the creatures in the Pass and Luoyang may be shaken by it. At the critical moment, General Su should not refuse."
Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Third brother is right!"
Everyone also recommended Su Lie. Su Lie couldn't resist and said to everyone: "Since that's the case, Su will no longer refuse. We will immediately start working together to defeat the White Walkers army and guard Yanmen Pass!"
After saying that, he took out his military talisman from his arms, turned around and handed over the two military talismans to Han Xin and said, "On behalf of all the troops guarding the city in Yanmen Pass, please general Han asks General Han to command this battle to defend the city!"
Su Lie's move happened suddenly, and even Han Xin was shocked and did not reach out to receive Su Lie's military talisman.
Su Lie stepped on one knee and presented two military talismans to him, and said, "This battle is not a big deal. The enemy is proficient in Sun Bin's art of war and the courage of the Qin Iron Army. It is beyond the reach of people. I ask General Han to lead the army to defend the enemy for the millions of people inside and outside the Great Wall!"
Seeing this, everyone was moved by Su Lie. Han Xin took over the military talisman, raised it high above his shoulders, and said aloud: "I will live up to the general's heavy trust!"
After saying that, he wanted to get up and help Su Lie up. Su Lie was afraid that he would cause the wound and hurriedly stood up and said, "Time is tight, General Han should mobilize the defenders as soon as possible."

Han Xin coughed a few times, his face became paler, but at this time he was full of energy and ordered: "General Su led the Yanmen Pass defenders to retreat three miles to prepare to defend the enemy. General Li and Kai each led 5,000 cavalry on both wings, waiting for orders and ready to attack at any time."
Su Lie, Li Yuanfang and Kai all took the orders.
Han Xin slowly stood up and wanted to get out of the stone bed. Li Bai and Shou made an appointment to come forward to support him. Han Xin walked out of the stone house and climbed up to the observation deck. The night wind lifted his white hair.
Li Bai looked at Han Xin's side face and couldn't help but feel respect for the man.
Suddenly I thought that I was born with white hair and liked the white outfit. I wonder if I was guided by Yu Ji when I was young. Could this man be the one who has always been in the heart of my aunt? Then this person must be a great hero.
He has the talent of conquering the world, but he is willing to take risks alone. Who do they live for?
Su Lie lived for the Great Wall and was a hero!
Kai, Luna, Baili Shouyi are both the Great Wall, and are also brothers and sisters. They live in the love of brothers and sisters, and they are heroes!
Zhou Yu lived for fame, but the prodigal son turned back and finally lived for justice. He was a hero!
Then why did I live? For the best sword in the world? For the Great Wall? For the people?
If Yixing said, he is the order born for the 'order'.
Then is he living for the purpose of superior order?
He didn't understand what 'order' was, in short, he couldn't be called a hero.
Maybe I am nothing, I don’t even know what the meaning of living is.
The night is getting darker.
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, causing his cheeks to hurt. This was not wind, but murderous aura!
Then he saw the scene that shocked him in his life.
(five)
The dense "Whitees" are wearing silver helmets and silver armor, and their sharp weapons are raised high, reflecting the cold light of the bright moon, making people dazzling.
Their steps are neatly and uniformly. The square and circular arrays are each performing their duties but are closely connected. Every step, the land outside Yanmen Pass trembles!
The enemy was getting closer and closer, but Han Xin still had no expression on his face. The "Whites" army suddenly stopped when they were five hundred steps outside Yanmen Pass.
The air is as silent as solidified.
A shrill cry suddenly came from the army of 'Whites'. Li Bai saw that they all raised their right arms high, and his right fist and his palm hit his left chest inward, shouting: "Glory of Kings!"
The shouts resounded throughout the world, like a mountain collapse, like a tsunami!
Li Bai's eardrum hurts.
The sound echoed in the night sky, and another strange scream came from the "Whites" formation. Then the formation changed, and the infantry in the front formation and the halberd soldiers were arranged on both sides.
An open area was revealed in the middle, with infantry, halberds, and spearmen slamming the ground with weapons, shouting: "Bird!Bird!Bird!".
Li Bai vaguely heard the sizzling sound of the arrow string pulling.
Han Xin said anxiously: "Back to the stone house! Block every window with stones!"
Li Bai did not dare to neglect and immediately returned to the stone house. Everyone took the stone slabs and blocked the window.
Someone had already blown out the oil lamp in the house, and it was even darker at this time.
But you can still hear the shouts of "Birth!Birth!Birth!" from outside the pass, which makes people feel upset.
The shouts came to an abrupt end, and a rapid sound of breaking through the air immediately rang through the night sky!
Chapter completed!
