Hangu Pass is called this name because it is trapped in a valley, as deep and dangerous as a letter, so it is called Hangu Pass. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
To the south is the thousand-mile Qinling Mountains, and to the north is the Taotao Yellow River. Going out and standing horizontally among the mountains and rivers is a rare pass in the world.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and it was so dark that the mountain road could not be seen clearly, but one person was standing at the top of the city facing the cold wind.
Under the eaves of the city wall, Meng Ao stood with his hands behind his back, holding a cold long sword beside him, the long sword was out of its sheath, and the point of the sword stood on the ground.
Frowning, his eyes looked down at the narrow road in the long valley. It seems to want to see something at the end of the narrow road, but there are only a few weeds swaying in the dark night.
Nothing.
The army marched in a hurry for half a day, and finally arrived at Hangu Pass before night. After the army entered the city, Meng Ao had been standing here, but he didn't see the white-armored black army.
The sound of footsteps coming from behind, and the sound of armor bumping, Meng Ao didn't turn his head to look, just listening to the sound, he knew who was coming.
Meng Wu held a fur in his hand and covered Meng Ao's body: "Father, let's rest early."
"The old man's body is not so bad," Meng Ao said quietly.
"Where's Tian'er?"
"It kept making trouble, and I was knocked out."
Meng Wu stood beside Meng Ao silently, looking towards the mountain road.
After a while, he said again: "I've checked, and most of the horses in the city have been recruited, even the poor horses for transporting goods have not been spared."
"Ah."
"I said where did she get the 10,000 riders." Meng Ao chuckled: "She is the only one who can do this kind of thing."
"Take ten thousand defenders who are not good at riding and infantry to attack the formation."
The closed Qin flag rustled in the wind, Meng Wu turned his head and looked at Meng Ao.
"Father, you know that General Gu is unlikely to come back."
"This kind of thing, even if you are close to death, it is also a fate."
"It was us who should have fought to the death."
Meng Ao said something out of nowhere, bowed his back lightly, and stood with his shoulders slumped.
Meng Wu didn't know how to answer it, he smiled wryly and struggled.
"For the sake of King Qin's overall situation, General Gu rescued me. What we can do is to bring down the overall situation of King Qin for my son. It's not yet time to let go."
The clenched hands made him look less calm.
Meng Ao stretched out a hand and lightly put it on Meng Wu's shoulder, and patted it.
"You know how to take care of the overall situation, and I am very pleased to be your father."
Before Meng Ao walked up the pass, he propped his hands on the city wall and looked at the silhouetted rivers and mountains below the pass.
His eyes flickered, as if he saw something.
"Oh, the old man and the white old man have known each other in the early years. When we were fighting outside, we could stand on the city wall and look at the majestic mountains and rivers. I am not as good as him in everything. I have a long-term strategy and a great plan. You This unfilial son, didn't you just want to worship him as a teacher back then?"
Seeing Meng Ao's appearance, Meng Wu opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
"Ha, but he didn't live as long as me. A monster like him will have his own harvest."
Meng Ao said, and laughed, the laughter was full of bewilderment.
The laughter gradually faded away, leaving only a dejected body.
"That girl really resembles him."
"People like that, only Tianshou, will not die here."
"Father." Meng Wu also wanted to persuade Meng Ao to take care of the overall situation and take care of himself.
Meng Ao raised his hand and interrupted him.
"I'm getting old, let me act like an old man this time. Being a general, it's really tiring to hold on to it."
The sound of horseshoes came from the mountains, Gu Nan and the others fled all the way, and the army of the five countries did not catch up again, so they stopped slowly.
The mountain road could not be seen clearly at night, and the horses easily stumbled in this place, so they stopped first and planned to spend the night here again.
Cut a few piles of dead wood and lit a bonfire.
Among the mountains and forests, there are the most such things. The snow in the past few days has melted quickly, otherwise, at this time, they may not even be able to light the fire.
The fire light warmed people and dispelled the coldness all over, but it did not dissipate the tiredness and coldness in people's hearts.
10,000 people came, only about 3,000 people left, and 7,000 people lay there forever without making a sound. If you can't take it back, you can only put it in the field and become the food of the beast.
Gu Nan was sitting quietly in front of the campfire.
"General."
A soldier walked up to her side and bowed slightly.
"Are you ready?" Gu Nan asked in a hoarse voice, looking at the fire.
"Yes, the gatekeepers lost more than 6,000 troops, and the trapped army killed more than 600 people."
Seventy percent of the army was lost.
The gatekeepers were originally infantry, and so were the soldiers who fell into the formation. They were not good at riding and fighting, and they had already been screened to be able to return to riding. And most of the horses they used temporarily were not war horses. There were a lot of armaments in Hangu, but there were thousands of war horses at a time, and the thousands of horses under them were used to transport horses.
It was lucky that not all of them died in that army formation.
Gu Nan nodded, didn't say much, and glanced at the fallen army: "Go and rest."
Seeing the general's tired look, the soldiers in the battle lowered their heads: "The general also rests earlier."
"Chatty."
Gu Nan pulled out a smile and waved his hand.
The soldier scratched his hair and retreated.
The firelight beside the campfire was warm, and Gu Nan looked at the firelight in a daze.
Her eyes blurred for a moment, she guessed that she had left too much blood, and she had begun to lose her mind.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my shoulder.
Looking down, the arrow on the shoulder was still piercing into the flesh, and the blood plasma that had been frozen had melted again at this time, and the blood flowed non-stop.
He pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to hold the arrow, his face tightened in pain, and pulled out the arrow.
