52Chapter 52: Victory Pass

After hearing this, Jing Shao's worried expression gradually turned into a silly smile, and he hugged her in his arms: "It's hard to say, who asked me for a divorce letter in the first place?" Are you reluctant now? But he didn't dare to say the latter sentence.

"It would be great if you divorced me, so that I can marry you into the Marquis' Mansion as my wife." Mu Hanzhang patted Jing Shao's head with the feather fan in his hand.

"Well, that's not bad either." Jing Shao leaned over and was about to kiss him.

"You wish, I won't marry you," Mu Hanzhang dodged his kiss and stood up, "You eat a lot and are lazy, what's the point of marrying you?" After saying that, he picked up the little tiger at his feet and turned around and walked out.

Jing Shao was stunned for a long time, it was really, outrageous! He actually dared to say that his husband "eats a lot and is lazy"! So, he chased after him, ready to "teach" his princess how to respect her husband. Unexpectedly, after chasing for a few steps, he met the left and right guards who came to discuss the camp. He had to put away the smile on his face and returned to the central tent seriously.

After Zhao Meng led the army to Shengjing Pass, Jing Shao ordered the Shu army to stay on standby and wait for news from Huya Pass at any time. He led the remaining 20,000 people and food and equipment to Shengjing Pass and stationed 30 miles outside the gate.

Shengjing Pass is located in the mountains. There are high mountains and steep ridges on both sides of the road. The road is narrow and steep. A high wall was built at the narrowest point between the two mountains. The thick blue brick wall is ten feet high, with countless arrow holes on it. People can be vaguely seen on it. The heavy wooden door is closed and deeply shrunken under the doorway. The setting sun can hardly shine into the doorway. Only one or two rivets occasionally flash a sparkling cold light.

It was getting late, Zhao Meng planned to set up camp and rest for the time being, and knock on the gate again tomorrow. Who knew that just when he stopped his horse's hoof, the gate suddenly opened by itself with a "boom". The cavalry in the front row immediately clenched their spears, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out.

"General, be careful of fraud." The young general beside him whispered.

Zhao Meng frowned, took out the first brocade bag from his bosom and threw it to the young general: "Read it."

The young general hurriedly took out the letter paper in the brocade bag, on which there were only eight words written: "There is fraud at the empty gate, don't chase the desperate enemy."

The young general's voice was very loud, and the surrounding generals and lieutenants heard it clearly, and they couldn't help but be amazed and admired that the military advisor was really a brilliant plan!

Zhao Meng snorted coldly and shouted at the city gate: "The thieves in the southwest are really as cowardly as mice! Hearing that the army is coming, they must have been scared to death and opened the gate to welcome them directly!"

"Hahahaha..." The soldiers behind him followed and shouted loudly: "The thieves in the southwest are as cowardly as mice!"

"Set up camp!" When everyone laughed enough, Zhao Meng waved his hand and gave a loud order.

Before the errand camp behind moved out of the tent, a group of people and horses suddenly rushed out of the door.

Zhao Meng saw that it was not the general who came out, so he said to everyone: "Who will fight?"

"I am willing to go!" The young general who had just read the brocade bag came out with a spear, and rushed forward with his horse's belly.

The opponent's lieutenant also increased the speed of the horse, and the two horses galloped like the wind. "Dang!" With a sound, the silver spear and the steel whip collided in the air, and sparks flew everywhere for a while, but because the horses were too fast, they only touched and missed each other. The two quickly turned their horses' heads and rushed again. The general sent by the Southwest Army was not very good at fighting, and was suppressed by the young general in a short time.

"Kill!" Zhao Meng raised his hand and shouted, and the cavalrymen who had been unable to hold back for a long time rushed forward. For a while, the shouts of killing shook the sky. The Southwest Army also rushed forward to kill. Because the road was narrow, not many soldiers could rush to the front. Looking down from the tower, you can see a black army forming a long dragon between the two mountains. The tail of the dragon is motionless, and only the head is slightly stretched out.

The Southwest Army started to flee back not long after the fight. Zhao Meng realized that they had been less than ten feet away from the high wall after leaving the gate of Shengjing Pass. Now it is natural to escape. It seems that they have planned it in advance. He hurriedly ordered not to pursue them.

The dust and smoke had not yet cleared, and the gate of Shengjing Pass was closed again. Zhao Meng looked at the few corpses outside the gate and felt a faint fire in his heart. The Southwest Army ran away after a fight, and all the energy he had just raised was hit on cotton. He felt uncomfortable all over.

For two days in a row, the Southwest Army was teasing them. They sent out a small group of soldiers and horses, teased them, and then quickly ran back. It was okay once or twice, but after so many times, not only Zhao Meng was extremely angry, but the soldiers also began to get restless. Trapped on this narrow mountain road, unable to walk, unable to fight, it was really frustrating!

"General, no matter what conspiracy he has, we have 50,000 soldiers, can't we capture this ten-foot wall?" The Yueqi Captain said angrily.

"Yes, General, what are we waiting for?" The hot-tempered young general shouted.

While he was talking, another group of Southwest soldiers and horses came out to challenge, and Zhao Meng spat: "Damn it! Kill them for me!" After that, he waved the big knife in his hand and went towards the leading general.

The long-handled broadsword turned half a circle in the air and chopped straight at the man's neck. The man raised his sword to block, but Zhao Meng was as strong as a mountain and pressed down the back of the sword tightly. "Swish!" The blades slashed against each other, making a harsh sound, but it was drowned out by the huge shouts and horse hooves around. In a flash, blood splattered three feet, and Zhao Meng had chopped off the general's head. For a moment, the morale of the army was greatly boosted. Without caring about anything else, Zhao Meng swung the long sword in his hand, and blood beads flew out along the blade: "Charge!"

"Kill~" The black soldiers rushed forward. The Southwest Army in khaki uniforms was quickly submerged in the black sea of ​​people. The long dragons turned into thin snakes and rushed in. When the cavalry rushed in, the infantry had not yet followed. , with a "bang", the originally open Shengjingguan gate suddenly closed, and the infantry who were unable to follow the general's footsteps were locked ten feet away, and then arrows rained down from the tower.

The infantry without armor had no power to fight back against the arrows. The infantry captain who stayed outside the pass saw that the situation was not right and quickly ordered a retreat.

Zhao Meng, who was imprisoned in the pass, realized something was wrong before he could rush out a few steps. It was too late to come back to his senses. There was silence for a moment, and a shrill crow echoed in the mountains. Waiting for him was the chief of the pass. There were heavy troops on the long mountain road.

"Report~" Jing Shao, who was drinking tea with the military advisor, suddenly heard a long announcement. The messenger jumped off his horse, rushed into the middle tent, and knelt down in front of Jing Shao with a plop: "Commander, General Zhao and the cavalry Trapped in Shengjing Pass, unable to escape, the infantry remained outside the pass and was besieged by arrows! "

"You bastard!" Jing Shao heard this, raised his hand and threw the cup, and told him not to underestimate the enemy. This Zhao Meng lost his chain as soon as he went out. He quickly called the generals in the camp and ordered two hundred cavalry to rush in front of the camp. On call.

Jing Shao quickly put on the silver armor, put the sword on his waist, picked up the spear and walked out.

"Little spoon!" Mu Hanzhang called out urgently. When Jing Shao turned around, he stretched out his hand to fasten his helmet, "Be careful!"

"You sit in the camp and wait for me to come back." Jing Shao turned his head and kissed him on the cheek, turned around and opened the curtain. The general should be sitting in the camp, but now that there are no generals available, he must go.

Mu Hanzhang followed him out, Jing Shao had already climbed onto his horse, Xiao Hei raised his hoof and neighed, leading two hundred cavalrymen away.

The silver armor and the black horse together, like a silver lightning, split open the long black line of infantry.

"How is the situation?" Jing Shao asked the infantry colonel standing at the front immediately.

"General Zhao has been inside for half a day. The shouts of killing were loud, but now there is no movement." The infantry captain was very worried.

Jing Shao frowned and looked at the high wall in front of him. When he attacked Shengjing Pass, the King of Southwest used this trick to catch turtles in the jar. This time he did not let Zhao Meng take away all the cavalry, just because he was afraid that he would fall into the same trap on impulse. At that time, I had no cavalry and could not rush to rescue him, so I had to take the risk and take a shortcut to rescue him at Huya Pass. Now Hao Dashao went to break the tiger's teeth and crane's beak first, and Zhao Meng delayed it for two days, so he should be able to catch up.

"General, I am truly lucky to see His Highness King Cheng today!" On the city tower, a general wearing brass scales said loudly, "Your Highness's general has been besieged by us and will be captured in an hour or three. Your Highness As long as we retreat..."

"Bow and arrows!" Jing Shao looked at the man talking to himself on the tower with cold eyes, stretched out his hand to take the bow handed over by his subordinate, stringed it, and stretched it into a full moon.

"Whoosh~" The general who was mid-sentence saw King Cheng drawing his bow and quickly hid to one side. The arrow crossed the side of his face and he barely managed to avoid it. Before he could get frightened, the second arrow had already followed, and he was shocked. He had no choice but to squat down in embarrassment.

"Giant tree!" Without giving the people on the city any time to breathe, Jing Shao raised his hand and signaled the giant siege tree to rush upward.

From the high wall, arrows shot out quickly.

"Shield!" Jing Shao waved his hand again, and a group of soldiers holding square iron shields who had been prepared quickly stepped forward and lined up on both sides of the giant tree. They raised the iron shields high to protect the people carrying the wood, and marched towards them in a unified pace. The city gate rushed forward, causing the people on the city to panic immediately. The city gate of Shengjingguan had a fatal problem when it was first established, that is, the gate was too deep. Once inside the gate, arrows could no longer be shot.

"Boom! Boom!" The sound of collisions was like knocking on the hearts of everyone on the wall, which was frightening. Jing Shao did not attack the door with a giant tree like an ordinary general, while setting up a ladder to step on the wall, but led The cavalry and infantry all retreated, out of the range of the arrows. He had a good time watching the rain of arrows falling in front of him.

"Boom!" The city gate was suddenly knocked open, and the soldiers carrying the giant tree rushed in with a shout, knocking away the Southwest Army who was resisting behind the door.

"Go!" Jing Shao clamped his horse's belly tightly and rushed out like a sharp arrow. The cavalry behind him also rushed forward. The city gate was broken and could not stop the foot soldiers. The cavalry went first and killed everyone in the way. The soldiers poured into Shengjingguan like a tide.

"Report~" The soldiers who were patrolling nearby galloped over on horseback and rushed into the middle tent. "Report to the military advisor, there are thousands of troops rushing towards the camp, and they are already less than ten miles away!"

"What!" The right guard who was teasing the little tiger heard this and stood up. All the elite troops were transferred out. Now there are less than 20,000 people left in the camp, 20% of which are handymen, and almost no cavalry. Even if they could kill those thousands of men and horses, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"Commander, you stay with Xiao Zuo for a while, and you must not leave him even half a step!" The right guard put on his armor and walked out.
