Chapter 469: Resisting the Enemy and Fighting (Part 1)
Modaoying is also one of Gu Qing's trump cards.
In order to form the Modao Camp, Gu Qing dug Li Siye from Shule Town. In order to eliminate his inner demons, he also cut off his enemies with one knife. When forming the Modao Camp, he asked for money and people to give him. In order to make up the number of people, Gu Qing trapped Ge Shuhan again and again. More than a thousand people in the Modao Camp were the foundation of the Hexi Army.
Gu Qing has made a lot of effort for Modaoying.
This time, Modao Camp finally came in handy. In Hangu Pass, Modao Camp became the protagonist. Their mission was to snipe the enemy and block 50,000 enemy troops in Hangu Pass.
There was a huge gap between 3,000 and 50,000, but the soldiers of the Modao Camp were not afraid. After Li Siye ordered the formation, the soldiers stood in their positions without saying a word, and kept adjusting as the general's flag waved.
The important reason why Gu Qing was so confident that he dared to use the three thousand Modao Camp to meet 50,000 enemies was the terrain of Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass has been a dangerous and powerful pass since ancient times. As early as the Warring States Period, the six-nation alliance attacked Qin. The Qin army welcomed the enemy at Hangu Pass. Relying on the dangerous terrain of Hangu Pass, they repelled the six-nation alliance. Historical records show that "millions of corpses were buried and blood was drifting off the oars". When the Chu-Han and Han fought, Liu Bang also relied on the Hangu Pass to resist the enemy Xiang Yu, changing the situation of the entire war. The geographical location of Hangu Pass is obvious.
The terrain of Hangu Pass selected by Gu Qing was like a large funnel, wide in front and narrow in the back. After the Sanqian Modao Camp set up a formation in front, there was no extra space on the left and right, which just blocked the road ahead of Hangu Pass tightly.
Today, the soldiers of the Modao Camp were rarely covered with armor, covering their bodies with fish scale armor, and even their faces were made of iron masks, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes, looking coldly at the road ahead.
Li Siye was also covered with a sling, holding a special Mo knife in his hand. It was longer than an ordinary Mo knife, wider blade, and weighed about forty kilograms. The ordinary Mo knife hand could not move, but it was very easy for a naturally burly man like Li Siye.
With the Modao raised in his hand, Li Siye was patrolling around the formation, looking around the soldiers of the Modao Camp, Li Siye shouted: "Raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while. You know how Marquis Gu and I treat you in the past few years. You know, 50,000 soldiers of the Anxi Army, but only Modao Camp has meat to eat every day. Other soldiers envy us and are jealous of us, and secretly discuss, saying that the Marquis spent such a great price to raise a group of guys who had never been to the battlefield. Is this a waste? Are you convinced by these words?"
The soldiers of the Modao Camp were ignited in an instant, and they raised Modao and shouted: "I don't accept it!"
Li Siye laughed, then turned around and pointed to the empty road ahead, saying, "Today, the opportunity to justify our Modao Camp is here! Three thousand people are against 50,000 enemy troops. The only thing that can be relied on is the natural danger of Hangu Pass. The Marquis has an order. Modao Camp must hold on here for at least two hours. Can you do it?"
The soldiers all shouted: "Yes!"
The even arrogant soldier laughed and said, "General, don't let the fu army come. Relying on the natural danger of Hangu Pass, we simply clean up all the 50,000 enemy troops, and then swagger back and ask for merit and rewards, so that those miscellaneous people with dog eyes look down on us!"
Li Siye smiled and said, "Okay, it's said that arrogance will be defeated, but our Modao Camp is different. We should be born arrogant, with 3,000 to 50,000. If we can keep it, we can get crazy in front of anyone."
After a pause, Li Siye strengthened his tone and said, "When he went to the war from Anxi, the marquis decided to reward and punish him, and beheaded at the first level of 50 cents. Do you remember this price?"
The atmosphere in the array became more and more intense, and the soldiers of the Modao Camp burst into laughter.
Li Siye pointed to the road ahead and said, "At a moment when 50,000 enemy troops came, 50,000 people, that is 50,000 heads. If we share 3,000 people, how much can each earn? Can we count? Haha, I congratulate you in advance on this battle! Go back and return home, each of you is a big landlord, and you will not have to worry about food and drink for three generations."
The intense pre-war mobilization and the tempting bounty, the morale of the Modao Camp was instantly ignited. In front of Hangu Pass, a sharp fighting spirit filled the surroundings, and the murderous aura filled every corner of Hangu Pass like thick fog before dawn.
The camp officer was escorting the formation left and right, and Li Siye took the lead in standing in the first row of the array.
Half an hour later, the figure of the rebel scout was already looming in the jungle of the valley. Seeing a square formation standing quietly in front of Hangu Pass, the whole army was wearing armor, and each person was wearing a hideous iron mask, silently standing in front of the pass like a neat black forest.
The rebel scout was shocked, turned around in a hurry and ran towards the rebel vanguard.
One hour later, ten thousand cavalry vans of the rebel vanguard had arrived.
The vanguard was a military general named Zeng Qing. He was a general in the Pinglu army under Shi Siming's command. He was highly valued by Shi Siming.
It was already afternoon when Qingqing led 10,000 cavalry to Hangu Pass. After hundreds of feet away from Hangu Pass, Qingqing saw the Modao Camp waiting for the array outside the pass. Qingqing broke out in his heart and ordered the entire army to station horses. Then he looked at the Modao Camp array in the distance in surprise, and his heart beat sharply.
Of course he knew that this was Modao Camp, and he knew that this was Modao Camp of the Anxi Army. When Tian Chengsi was ambushed in the Anxi Army camp, he was killed by Modao Camp. After Tian Chengsi escaped, Gao Shang had already passed the news about the Anxi Army Modao Camp to An Lushan.
What Xu Qing didn't expect was that Gu Qing could predict in advance that An Lushan would send reinforcements to Luoyang, and even more so that in order to resist the enemy, Gu Qing actually used Modao Camp outside Hangu Pass.
The whole body of fish scale armor, iron mask, a three-foot blade, and a neat array... From a distance, it looks like an unshakable iron wall, and it gives people a deep sense of powerlessness before the war begins.
Xu Qing only felt bitter in his mouth. He had a premonition that there would be a hard battle today.
Let’s look at the surrounding environment. Hangu Pass is surrounded by mountains, but there is only a funnel-shaped path leading to the outside of the pass. The only empty space outside the pass is the location of the Modao Camp at this moment, and the location of the Qingqing is still a slope, which is not conducive to the cavalry charge at all.
No wonder the King of Qin was able to resist the enemy of the six-nation alliance with this pass, no wonder Liu Bang dared to snipe Xiang Yu's Chu soldiers here. This majestic pass was born to defend, and the reputation of being a man who can't open a thousand men is well-deserved.
He raised his temple and jumped straight, waved his horse whip and pointed at the mountains on both sides and left and right, and said, "Scout quickly to find out if there are ambushers on the mountains on both sides."
Teams of scouts ran towards the mountain on foot.
Qingqing stared at the Modao Camp in the distance, thinking about how to break through the pass, and a messenger came from behind on horseback.
"General Zeng, General Shi of the Central Army urged the vangu Pass to quickly seize Hangu Pass, and the Central Army's rear army arrived in an hour."
Xu Qing sighed, and then ordered: "The whole army dismounted and lined up to annihilate the enemy!"
This decision was wise. With such a dangerous terrain and uphill road, the cavalry had no effect here, and the dismounting of the horse and a line to attack the enemy would have a better chance of winning.
However, the narrow path could not be arranged at all, and ten thousand rebels could only list a long snake formation.
Xunqing gritted his teeth, drew his sword and pointed forward, shouting: "Attack!"
The rebels were indeed like a long snake, shouting and killing each other and rushed towards Modao Camp.
While the rebels began to charge, Li Siye also raised his Mo Dao and shouted: "Prepare--"
The left and right generals waved the order flags, and the three thousand Mo Dao danced Mo Dao's hands. Under the scorching sun, a snow-white sword light flashed. As the rebels' charge became faster and faster, they danced Mo Dao's speed, like a warm-up motor, accelerating with all their strength.
As we get closer, we get closer. The rumbling footsteps hit the heart. There was no war between the two sides, and no war was declared. Once we encounter it, we will be to the death.
The murderous aura was full of wildness and the momentum was like a rainbow. When the two armies were several feet apart, Li Siye suddenly shouted violently: "Modao Camp, come in!"
There was a loud bang, and the two armies collided fiercely like two wild bisons.
Under the collision, a small chaos appeared in the front line of the Modao Camp, and the array was a little messed up. With the general's stern scolding and waving the flag, the chaotic formation quickly returned to its original state.
However, the rebels who rushed into the formation instantly divided their lives and deaths. All the rebels who rushed into the Modao Formation were crushed by Modao. Without exception, some people didn't even have time to scream when they were dying. People even had consciousness, just watching their bodies break into many pieces by a snow-white blade light, and finally their consciousness turned black and they fell into eternal silence.
Under the first wave of attacks, Modao Camp tweaves nearly a thousand people from the rebel vanguard into pieces.
The rebels charging behind saw the power of Modao Camp with their own eyes. In fear, they stopped and looked at Modao who was still waving in fear. Even though the enemy in front of the formation was dead, Modao was still waving tirelessly.
The soldiers in the Modao Camp were covered with blood donation and corpses, blood flowed into a river, and their bodies were like mountains. From a distance, they looked like the Shura slaughterhouse in hell. The people waving Modao in front of them were the owners of the Shura Field.
The picture is too bloody and cruel. Even the rebels guarding the border with hundreds of battles were afraid. No matter how the generals scolded and scolded each other, no one dared to take a step forward, because everyone knew what would happen if they would rush into the Modao Formation.
As soon as the battle was in a stalemate, the rebels gradually retreated, Li Siye shouted "Stop". The soldiers of the Modao camp stopped waving Modao, and then took out dry food from their armor. While the enemy temporarily retreated, the soldiers swallowed dry food and drank water to replenish their energy.
The logistics supply of Modao Camp is also the best in the entire army. The dry food the soldiers carried with them were all air-dried pieces of meat. Naturally, it was not delicious in terms of taste, but the pieces of meat with moderate weight and thinness were very real.
After one incense stick of time, the rebels made up their experience and changed to another attack method.
Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows shot towards Modao Camp.
Li Siye was not afraid, but laughed, and then sternly said: "Mo Daoying, prepare--"
