Chapter 139: Yanmen Pass

Su Dingfang couldn't understand why Gu Qing arrested a monk halfway. It was hard to ask about both of them at the same high position, and it was not a big deal. The army continued to rush forward. There were a lot of potatoes in the food and grass in the team, which had been used as military rations and carried a lot of explosives, all managed by the people of the Jinwu Guard and would not let people approach it casually.

After rushing towards Yanmen Pass all day, Gu Qing rode his horse and his legs were numb. He didn't stop until dusk and came to Yang Sheng's side, "Aren't you letting you come?"

"I'm not relieved." Yang Sheng said, "I have already instructed the monk to send more people to guard the Taoist temple. Chang'an is not as good as outside the pass. If I were in Chang'an, I would naturally feel at ease. I'm afraid something happened to you outside the pass."

"How many people have you brought?" Gu Qing asked.

"Not many, more than thirty." Yang Sheng replied.

Cheng Chumo stepped forward and said, "Su Dingfang said he would only have three hours of rest, so we would go all night."

"How far is we from Yanmen Pass?" Gu Qing thought in his mind.

"If we go along the road along the road, it will take two days at the fastest!" Cheng Chumo said, "What are you doing when you tie a monk halfway?"

"It's okay to be idle." Gu Qing sniffed, "Eat something, let's take a break and continue on the way, by the way! Have you brought the spirits?"

"Take it! There are 300 jars in total." Cheng Chumo said, "I brought it this time. You don't have to go into battle at that time, just stay in the rear to take care of the wounded and keep making explosives."

Gu Qing also nodded. Many soldiers wandering in the army had already fallen asleep. The war was urgent. It was already very difficult to leave three hours. You have to hurry up and recover your energy.

The wind was getting colder and colder, and it looked like it was going to snow again.

The Japanese monk was so decadent that he was sitting beside him with his hands tied up and his face was full of hopelessness. When he saw Gu Qing, he hurriedly said, "Why are you tying me!"

"What are you doing in Japan?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to notify Japan? The Tang Dynasty is now unable to take into account the East China Sea wants to attack the Tang Dynasty."

"How could I do such a thing?" said the Japanese monk.

"Why did you breathe air just now?" Gu Qing asked again, "Are you guilty?"

"No! Why do I feel guilty when I breathe in? Don't we Japanese people take a breath?" The Japanese monk replied decisively.

"Don't be afraid, why are you nervous? I won't kill you." Gu Qing said, "But don't think I will let you go. When I arrive at the battlefield, I will block you as a target and give me a arrow and a sword."

After saying that, Gu Qing left.

"Gu Qing! General of the Central Army! Listen to me!" said the Japanese monk, "I am just a monk, please let me go, General of the Central Army, General! Onijiang!"

"Hiss..." Gu Qing made a cold move, returned to his leading guard and ate a few bites of dry food and lay down.

In the early morning, heavy snow fell on the sky, and the army set off again. The heavy snow made people unable to open their eyes.

"Go!" Su Dingfang rode his horse and accelerated!

The army marched until noon, and could see many common people fleeing to the north. Su Dingfang stopped a commoner and asked loudly, "What's wrong with Yanmen Pass?"

"Many, many people died." The people said in a panic, "There are too many dead people, and Yanmen Pass is about to collapse. Run away quickly, the Turks are about to fall, and the dead people in Yanmen Pass are almost in a mountain."

"Go!" Su Dingfang gritted his teeth and accelerated.

Gu Qing was also worried that if the Turks took Yanmen Pass, they could go straight to the Central Plains, and the subsequent battle would be even more difficult.

Everyone marched for one day, went to an open space to repair it again. Every horse had foam on his mouth, and the horse was almost out of reach. If he continued like this, the horse would be exhausted. Everyone was exhausted. Gu Qing came to Su Dingfang and said, "We can go to Yanmen Pass tomorrow."

Su Dingfang nodded, "I just don't know the situation at Yanmen Pass, and I have sent a scout to investigate."

Gu Qing said, "I'll prepare some explosives, and you can use them directly then!"

"Okay!" Su Dingfang nodded.

Yan Liben had no rest at all, and kept rushing to make landmines with Zaozhuan. Gu Qing watched them busy and started to join the production. Many people in Zaozhuan were deaf and mute. These people were illiterate and could not speak, but were just making explosives, and their feet were covered with shackles.

"These people are all death row prisoners," Yan Liben explained.

Gu Qing also nodded, "I'll help you, I'll make the mines directly."

"Okay! I'll make a mechanical slogan." Yan Liben said.

At Yanmen Pass, the Turks attacked again. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty sacrificed their lives to guard the pass. The explosives had already been used up. Now they rely on hand-to-hand combat. There were fewer soldiers around them at a time. All the soldiers were numb and exhausted. They had thought about escaping countless times in their hearts, but when they saw that the people had not finished walking, they would grit their teeth and persevere and wait for reinforcements every time!

Behind Yanmen Pass, tens of thousands of troops were rushing towards Yanmen Pass, and Gu Qing could already see the wolf smoke on the beacon tower in the distance.

"Quick!" Su Dingfang shouted!

The army was setting off, and there were still people evacuating near Yanmen Pass. The soldiers ran against the people. When they saw the army, they would slow down and look at these soldiers who protected their homes for them.

The generals of Yanmen Pass saw the Tang Dynasty flag floating on the army behind him, and killed a Turkic man with one knife and shouted, "Let's hold it! Reinforcements are coming!"

"Stay!"

"Fight!"

"kill!"

...

The soldiers roared in the wind and snow, and although people kept falling down around them, they still tried their best to guard the pass.

Su Dingfang first arrived at Yanmen Pass and rushed to the pass to fight with the Turks. With support, the Tang army recovered most of its vitality. The Turks had to give up this attack, retreated and prepared to attack again.

Gu Qing also arrived at Yanmen Pass. Seeing Xiong Guan was shocked, connecting with the Great Wall to connect this Yanmen Pass, I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients, which has stood for thousands of years and protected this land for thousands of years.

Cheng Chumo turned over and dismounted and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Turkic people retreating. The soldiers walked down the city wall, all of whom were covered with injuries. Gu Qing looked at the original guards with only a hundred and tens of thousands of troops fighting to the point where there were only a few hundred. How did these hundreds of soldiers survive? Gu Qing respected them in awe.

"You are here." The generals of Yanmen Pass were dressed in rags and their armor had long been gone and said with red eyes, "If you come one step later, this Yanmen will not be able to defend it, and you will really be able to defend it."
