The rumbling sound of iron hooves made the hills tremble, the trees rustled, and the rolling smoke and dust were like the face of the god of death.
Yes, the god of death has opened his bloody mouth, revealing his sharp fangs, and is ready to enjoy a feast that belongs to him.
Abashi, who was constantly urging his warhorse to speed up, suddenly discovered that the Dashun Army in front of him stopped running. This was very strange. Were they too tired to run, or were they planning to kneel down and surrender
Before Abashi could figure out what was going on, there was a strange sound, and the galloping horse suddenly stumbled. Abashi was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body. "Ah!" A shrill howl burst out, which was soon covered by a loud bang.
The gates of hell were officially opened with Abashi's howl.
The wood that Abashi's horse trampled was covered with a thin layer of floating mud, which could easily bear the weight of a human body. However, how could the thin wood withstand the violent blows of the galloping horse
Under the broken wooden boards, there was a huge trench that was three meters wide and two meters deep. This was the real gate to hell and the bloody mouth of the god of death.
The Tatar cavalrymen who followed Abashi's mad rush, their ferocious smiles turned into desperate eyes, and they rushed into the dark trench in rows, with people and horses falling and corpses broken. The huge crash sounded like thunder, thrilling; the screams like ghosts and wolves howling made people shudder.
Even if the Tartars who fell into the trenches were lucky enough not to die, they would be smashed into pieces by the troops and horses that rushed in. The six thousand Tartar cavalrymen gritted their teeth and rushed forward, intending to crush the fleeing Dashun Army in front of them with their clanging iron hooves, but they never thought that a gate to hell had already been waiting for them. It was impossible for the galloping horses to stop quickly. Many Tartars knew that there was a trench of death ahead, but they could only watch helplessly as they rushed in.
Bao Er was so shocked by the tragic scene at the foot of the mountain that he drooled on the ground. The squad leader Ma Dahu slapped him on the head and cursed: "Bao Er, if you stand there again, I will kick you down. Quick!"
Bao Er came to his senses and saw that under the roar of the squad leader, all the people in the squad had already taken action. The other troops who were "scattered" by the Dashun Army also rushed back with all their might under the roar of the sergeants and squad leaders.
"Oh my God!" Bao Er screamed, not even bothering to wipe the drool from his lips. He ran over and together with Shili's comrades lifted the branch covering the Hundred Tigers Arrow, and then lifted it to the side together.
"All right, let me do it. You guys keep pushing the gabions over here, quick, push them down and smash the fuck out of them." Squad leader Ma Dahu was furious, and he would kick anyone who was a little slower.
Bao Er was also kicked and fell flat on his face, but he was so excited that he immediately rolled over and worked together with A'dai, who was tall and strong but often slow in thinking, to pile a bamboo cage to the side.
This bamboo cage is round and waist-high, and after it is carried up the mountain, it is filled with stones, so that it basically forms a stone ball.
"Dazhu, what are you still standing there for? Push it down! Push it down!" Squad leader Ma Dahu roared continuously. While lighting the fuse of the Hundred Tigers Running Arrow, he kept his eyes and ears on all sides. No matter who moved a little slower, he could not hide it from his eyes and ears.
Bao Er followed suit and pushed hard. The stone cage immediately rolled down the mountain, faster and faster, sometimes jumping several feet high due to the uneven terrain. It rumbled towards the Tartars at the foot of the mountain. The other people were not slow either. They saw the stone cages rolling down one by one, breaking the sky and making a terrifying sound. If they hit people and horses, they would be thrown to the ground and their bones and flesh would be shattered.
The Tartars at the foot of the mountain had finally managed to stop their horses, but then they saw stone cages falling from the sky like mountains pressing down on them. They were all frightened to the point of crying for their parents and their souls flew away.
Bao Er saw it and shouted excitedly: "Tartar, I'll give you an egg to try, and more, and more..." After he shouted, he couldn't wait to see his own results, so he pulled Ah Dai and ran back to push another stone cage.
"Captain, I have an idea." Halfway through pushing, Bao Er suddenly shouted.
The sergeant Ma Dahu was yelling like he was going to eat someone: "Bao Er, why don't you tell me what you think?"
"Sergeant, let's..." Bao Er had just said this when the fuses of the Hundred Tigers' Arrows burned out. Rows of rockets whistled out, shooting at the Tartars down the mountain like a meteor shower. Bao Er's voice was completely drowned out. The Hundred Tigers' Arrows of the nearby squads also fired almost simultaneously. Suddenly, the sky was full of streams of fire, as gorgeous as clouds, and the whistling continued. Bao Er had no choice but to rush to the squad leader Ma Dahu and yelled into his ear, "Sergeant, my idea is to put some gunpowder bags in the gabion and make the fuses longer. In this way, when the gabion rolls down, it will first kill a lot of Tartars, then explode and blast them again..."
"Damn it! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ma Dahu kicked Bao Er's butt hard, then he crawled over and tore off the tarpaulin of the tent, poured the explosives on the tarpaulin, installed the fuse, wrapped it layer by layer with tarpaulin, and tied it tightly with ropes. Then he ran back, stuffed the explosives into the gabion, tied it tightly, lit the fuse, and pushed!
As the gabion rolled down the mountain, everyone stood on tiptoe to look. The gabion first knocked down two horses. The horses fell to the ground with a bang, wailing in agony. The Tartars on the horses were knocked off their horses, covered in blood. Then there was a loud bang! Fires rushed, broken stones flew, and the Tartar soldiers in chaos howled miserably. Some of them even had their eyeballs blown up, and they held their hands up to hold their heads up. "Ah!" They kept screaming... ... ...
"Good! Great, hurry up, keep going!" Ma Dahu and the others screamed and started to act together.
"Who did this?"
"General Ling, yes... yes..."
"Bullshit, damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?" Ling Zhan, who was running over with a knife in hand, raised his leg and kicked Ma Dahu, who fell to the ground. Ling Zhan didn't even look at him, but jumped up and down and yelled, "What are you waiting for? Just do as I say, blow him up, damn it, quickly!"
Bao Er subconsciously touched his butt, then looked at Shi Chang's butt, his eyes flickering, and he ran to get the explosive pack.
The Tatars at the foot of the mountain were crowded in the valley, and finally stopped. From the mountain, rockets rained down and stone cages rolled, hitting them dizzy and frightened them. At this time, the Dashun Army also came back, with a rain of arrows covering the sky and muskets firing randomly. The Tatars in a mess were knocked over and shot to death, and their bodies were scattered all over the ground.
Especially those stone cages, rolling down from the mountain like meteorites falling from the sky. The huge impact would not stop until it knocked over several war horses. Many people and horses were smashed into a bloody mess, like meat patties, and their original shapes could not be seen at all. It was terrifying to look at.
But these gabions would explode if they stopped, causing air to rush and broken stones to fly everywhere, making the Tartars flee in panic.
Shang Kexi, the great traitor, had fought for half his life. When the front army was suddenly attacked, he reacted very quickly. He quickly ordered the brothers Wang Guangen and Wang Guangtai to lead 10,000 troops each to launch a fierce attack on the mountains on both sides.
At the same time, he ordered the central army to line up on the left and right sides of the open area at the rear, leaving a large passage in the middle so that the Tatars who were attacked in the front could escape.
Shang Kexi's response measures were impeccable. To be able to stabilize the morale of the troops and make such a response in such a short time, only a veteran who had fought in many battles could do it.
However, the god of death only filled his teeth a little and was far from full, and the gates of hell were still open.
Amid the sound of war drums that shook the sky, Ling Zhan, holding a big knife, swooped down first. The Qin army behind him, with the power of a great victory, shouted like thunder, and rushed down like thousands of lions and tigers leaping out of the mountains and forests.
The brothers Wang Guangen and Wang Guangtai had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Seeing the Tartar cavalry being ravaged terribly, they were already terrified. Under Shang Kexi's death order, they had to rush up the mountain. At this time, the Qin army swept down like a hurricane. How could they hold out for long
In less than a cup of tea, the troops of Wang Guangen and his brother were routed and rushed towards Shang Kexi's army like wolves and pigs.
Shang Kexi was terrified and gritted his teeth and ordered the Qing troops in formation to launch an indiscriminate attack. A rain of arrows covered the sky and shot towards the hillsides on both sides. The Green Camp soldiers of the Wang Guangen brothers were nailed to the ground one by one like hedgehogs. Their dying screams were like the howling of ghosts and wolves, breathtaking.
Under this indiscriminate attack, the Green Camp soldiers of the Wang Guangen brothers were forced to escape through the middle passage among the Tatar cavalry fleeing back in front. At this time, tens of thousands of Li Guo's troops also chased over the col and rushed over like a flood.
The Dashun Army was chased by the Qing Army all the way from Shanhaiguan. Many of their wives, children and elders died tragically under the iron hoofs of the Qing Army. The hatred between them and the Qing Army was as deep as the sea and as great as the mountain.
At this moment, finally seizing this opportunity to take revenge, the eyes of these Guanzhong men were all red, shouting heart-wrenchingly, and charging forward to risk their lives;
Even more fierce than the Qin army led by Ling Zhan, they rushed towards Shang Kexi's army wave after wave without hesitation...

ps: As the end of the month approaches, I couldn’t help but take a look at the monthly ticket list in the morning. It would be fine if I didn’t look at it, but after looking at it, I couldn’t help but feel like crying.
Not to mention the monthly votes, it’s almost 800,000 words, but not even 400,000 hits, alas!
Brothers, don't leave me alone in the war!
