The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

Tired!

Very tired indeed!

I took a short rest on the way and didn't sleep for two whole days.

In order to complete the task, Su Lie worked hard.

Send out scout horses to scout in the direction of the South Gate pass.

What about the enemy?

The general who led the army at the Nanmenguan pass station was Zhao Qiang, a descendant of the Zhao family, who was also a descendant of Zhao Tuo.

For many years, Zhao Qiang's soldiers and horses have been stationed on the pass.

Strictly guard against the invasion of the Central Plains Empire.

Originally, there were more than 2 soldiers and horses under the banner. Later, when they heard that Du He's soldiers and horses were training in Xiangjiang, the situation suddenly became tense.

Zhao Wu immediately sent [-] soldiers and horses to reinforce, so that Zhao Qiang must garrison the south gate pass.

This is the only way for people from the Central Plains to reach the inner city.

This area is very complicated and belongs to Shiwan Dashan.

If the people of the Central Plains want to win the Inner City and Jiuzhen City, they must first win the South Gate Pass.

After dozens of generations of construction and improvement, the pass is already an out-and-out majestic pass, not weaker than Humen Pass.

Surrounded by cliffs, there is only this narrow passage between mountain bees.

Right in front of Xiongguan, there is a city wall tens of feet high.

When attacked, only a small number of soldiers and horses are needed to defend the pass.

The narrow passage prevents the attacking side from investing too much troops to launch the attack, it can only be a refueling tactic.

No amount of troops can achieve good results.

On the city wall, there are a large number of stones and thunder wood, which are specially used to defend the city.

Historically, the Central Plains sent troops many times, and paid a heavy price to win the South Gate Pass. Later, the soldiers did not adapt to the climate.

The non-combat losses were so severe that they had to retreat.

The repeated conquests did not bring good luck to the Central Plains Empire, but repeated nightmares.

Zhao Qiang and his subordinates were drinking and chatting in the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Report to the general, His Majesty the Emperor has sent an order."

A messenger said.

Oh!

Zhao Qiang took it in his hand and inspected it.

what!

Jiuzhen City was taken by the Tang people?

Impossible!

It's not scientific at all for the Tang people to kill Jiuzhen City from where.

Damn!

How did the Tang people transport their troops?

The sea is very stormy, and if you don't pay attention, the ship will capsize and sink to the bottom of the sea.

A moment of sluggishness.

Come back to your senses.

"Blow the horn! Gather the troops. We want to reinforce the inner city. This is His Majesty's will. Only [-] soldiers and horses can be left here, and the rest of the soldiers and this general will reinforce the inner city."

Zhao Qiang said.

Dysprosium, dysprosium, dysprosium!

The trumpet sounded.

A native soldier walked out of the camp.

Zhao Qiang is an excellent general, once he gets an order, he will act immediately.

It only took half an hour, and the soldiers and horses were ready and set off immediately.

It would take five days to walk from the south gate to the inner city, Zhao Qiang couldn't afford to delay, time was tight, and he hoped that the inner city would not be lost.

17 Division Headquarters.

"Master, just after Tan Ma sent back information, the enemy has dispatched. There are a total of 100 soldiers and horses, [-] miles away from here."

The messenger said.

Oh!

Su Lie immediately looked at the map to see where the other party was.

"The enemy army is coming from this passage!"

Su Lie said.

"General, this is the best way to get to the inner city. The others are all narrow paths, not suitable for large troops."

The orderly said with contempt.

"Strictly monitor and report immediately if there is any situation."

Su Lie said.

"As ordered!"

Su Lie is under a lot of pressure!

If this battle is not fought well, the next 17 divisions will not have a better life.

I know Du He very well.

Don't talk about any sympathy, everything is judged by the actual record.

It is said that when he conquered the peninsula, all the trusted generals who followed him were punished one by one, even his uncle and husband were no exception.

Depreciate to take the blame.

This has become a joke in the military.

What does it mean?

Du He ruled the army very strictly and never showed mercy.

"Master, the enemy is only twenty miles away, and will arrive at the ambush site in the afternoon."

The messenger said.

"Okay! Tell the soldiers who are in ambush, don't disturb the enemy, and let the enemy come in. Otherwise,

We are facing a fierce battle, and there will be heavy casualties.The general does not want to cause too many casualties to the soldiers. If anyone violates the order,

military law.In addition, tell all soldiers to eat immediately, replenish their strength, and prepare for battle. "

Su Lie said murderously.

"As ordered!"

……

enemy:

Running wildly along the way, the soldiers were physically exhausted.

Coupled with marching in hot weather, even the locals find it difficult.

In the subtropical zone, the climate is hot, the humidity is high, and the jungle is dense. It is very difficult, almost impossible, to pass through the jungle.

The jungle is too thick.

Unless a passage is cut with a machete.

"General Zhao, why do you feel so distraught in such a lowly position? It can't be that there are Tang people in ambush!"

A lieutenant said.

"Lieutenant General Li, you are too timid, it's only been a few days, how could the people of Tang lie in ambush here.

You know, our capital city is not so easy to take. There are [-] elite troops in the city, and within ten days and a half months, the defense cannot be breached at all. "

Another lieutenant joked.

After Zhao Qiang thought about it, he still sent scouts to scout.

Be careful that you can sail for thousands of years.

Zhao Qiang stopped the army and waited for the scouts to investigate the situation.

As soon as the fragrance is injected, come back from exploring the horse.

"General, we have checked and there is no trace of enemies along the way. You can march boldly without any danger."

The messenger said.

"Let's go! Check out the horse and check again, and report immediately if there is any situation."

Zhao Qiang ordered.

"As ordered!"

"Our army rested in the narrow valley ahead and marched faster."

Zhao Qiang said.

One by one the enemy entered the ambush circle.

Su Lie is excited!

Just as he was about to give the order to ignite, suddenly, the enemy was seen sitting down to rest in the binoculars.

Damn!

Isn't this looking for death?

Su Lie held back and did not give an order.

Soldiers at several points have been waiting for Su Lie's order.

Wait impatiently!

Ten minutes later, Su Lie gave the order to light the fire.

What Su Lie did was right.

After the enemy's rapid march, the body is exhausted. Once they sit down and rest, it takes a long time to recover.

Especially resting for a few minutes will make people more tired and unable to exert energy.

Once the body is relaxed, it is impossible to tense up again.

"General Zhao, why is there green smoke and an unpleasant smell, it seems something is wrong!"

A lieutenant exclaimed.

In fact, no need to remind, Zhao Qiang has already seen it.

Damn!

There must be something weird about the green smoke coming out of more than a dozen places.

"Stand up! Stand up! Be careful of sneak attacks! Be careful of sneak attacks by the Tang people!"

Zhao Qiang roared loudly.

The problem was that the soldier had just completely relaxed his body, and suddenly wanted to stand up, making his body tense up.

Too difficult.

Rumble!
