Chapter 516 Tunnel Battle
Use preparedness to calculate unpreparedness.
In addition, many Indian soldiers suffer from severe night blindness due to their eating habits. Such a blind infantry unit is really not a big threat to the elites of the Qin army such as Feng Tang.
From the night of March 2nd to the morning of March 3rd.
For the Sunga people, this was a disastrous night. Not only was nearly half of the city of Daro, with a population of nearly 50,000 people, burned to the ground, but also because the infantry regiment stationed outside the city was attacked by a group of unknown armed men.
During the attack, the infantry team with a strength of 2,000 was defeated in just one night, no, to be precise, within two hours.
Under the cover of night, the Xunjia Infantry Regiment, which was preparing to support the city, was blocked halfway as soon as it left the camp. Feng Tang did not have such unrealistic ideas as a total annihilation. What he wanted was a battle that could shock everyone.
Quick victory for Indians.
Of the 2,000 infantrymen, in addition to the more than 300 who stayed at the garrison, more than 760 were killed in the night battle, and the rest dispersed and fled without knowing where to go.
After eliminating this threatening force, Feng Tang ordered the troops to quickly turn and march towards the Solomon Pass. The main task of this insertion was to open the passage to the pass. Now, while the Xunjia people were busy dealing with Daro
When there was a fire in the city, it was undoubtedly the most appropriate time to launch a counterattack on Solomon Pass.
On Solomon's Pass.
Not long ago, the Xunjia guards who were happily looking down at the movements of the Qin army at the foot of the mountain were no longer as happy as they were aloof. The purple-black face of Pushiamituo's younger brother Shaou showed a bit of annoyance and uneasiness.
The supplies at the rear have been cut off for three days. Without food supplies and firewood supplies, they will freeze to death and starve to death if they continue to defend this high-cold pass.
"General, what should we do? We have no food and no firewood. If we stay here, we will only die!" Beside Shaou, several Xunjia soldiers gathered around and asked.
Sha Ou glared impatiently and cursed: "So what if you die? Do you want to desert? If you run away today, tomorrow the Qin people will rob your homes and kidnap your wives and children. Think about it carefully."
?”
"This -!" The hopeless civilian soldiers of the Xunjia tribe shook their heads and sighed and retreated, but they kept cursing in their hearts. Their civilian home was just a wooden shed. Except for necessary daily necessities, there was no property inside.
What do the people of Qin have to rob?
As for wives and children, I heard that the military discipline of the Qin people has always been good. Only the defeated troops in Persia would do things like burning, killing and looting. Therefore, if the Qin people really want to rob, they will only rob Shaou and such powerful people.
Money aristocrat.
The night is getting darker.
On the pass, the fire that was originally brightly lit had only a little bit of ashes left. The cold and shivering Sunga soldiers shrank back into the stone hut in despair. They were now in despair and only looked forward to hearing the news soon.
I received the order to go down the mountain.
In a leeward room on the ground floor, Shaou leaned against the stone wall that was still emitting heat with deep thoughts. He no longer had the same high-spirited scenery as before.
These days, the Qin army at the foot of the opposite mountain is still slowly making several rounds every day. When the mood strikes, these Qin soldiers will launch one or two tentative attacks, but the momentum of such an attack has begun.
At that time, Shaou would still be happy to have repelled the enemy's attack, but now he was filled with anger at being deceived.
Shaou had already judged the fire in Darrow City from the chaos in the rear, but he was not yet sure how much damage the fire had caused. If the entire supply and supplies were burned, then they would
This group of people who have been abandoned and forgotten are really going to make the world inoperable every day.
Moreover, the Solomon Pass is not the only one along the Suleiman Mountains. The entire mountain range stretches from the end of the ocean to the Pamir Plateau. There are no less than twenty passes, large and small. Although the Solomon Pass is guarded between Persia and India
However, no one can guarantee that the Qin army will not enter the South Asian continent from another pass.
——.
North slope of the pass.
Qiu Lijin from Wuhuan was like a woodchuck, hiding in a newly dug cave under the depression. After a long period of moving little by little, there are now three hundred soldiers gathered in this small depression.
.
Unlike the Indians who were frozen by the cold wind above the pass, in this small depression in the leeward direction, the Wuhuan people built a shed similar to that used in the snow to keep out the cold. Only a small half of this kind of shed was exposed, and the rest was large.
Most of them are hidden deep underground. Apart from being unable to light a fire, the life of the Wuhuan people is extremely comfortable compared with that of the Indians above.
"Big Chief, is the fire above extinguished?" the Wuhuan soldier who was responsible for watching crawled back and whispered excitedly.
"Did you see clearly? Is it really extinguished, or was it accidentally blown out by the wind?" There was no expression on Qiu Li's golden brown face. After these days of hard work and dedication, he was about to pick the fruits. He could
I don’t want to waste several days of hard work because of a moment of negligence.
There is only one chance.
Qiu Lijin knew that if he wanted to change the status of the Wuhuan people and win a place among the various ethnic groups in Qin, he and his Wuhuan warriors must go all out.
After hearing Qiulijin's order, the Wuhuan sentry turned his head and crawled towards the entrance of the cave again. He did not dare to reveal his body too much for fear of being discovered by the pass sentry. Finally, after careful observation for a while, the sentry was satisfied.
He nodded slightly and made a forward gesture towards the back.
"Attack! For Dawuhuan."
"Attack, never retreat!" Qiu Lijin roared, and rushed out of the low cave entrance using his hands and feet. Under his leadership, the Qin soldiers of the Wuhuan tribe were like a pack of wolves on the grassland, fiercely
He rushed towards the pass.
From the foot of the mountain to the pass, there is a mountain road that is five kilometers long, and from the depression to the pass, the distance has been shortened to 600 steps. Within this distance, as long as the Wuhuan people are fast enough, they can beat the sentry at the pass.
Before the sound of footsteps, arrive at a suitable location for attack.
Groups of black shadows were flying on the mountain ridge!
In the past, the bright firelight at the pass would have completely exposed the Wuhuan people, but now, in the dark night, it is impossible to see anything. The two Xunjia sentries guarding the pass huddled together tightly, hoping
Waiting for the replacement of the guard to come quickly.
When Qiulijin ascended the pass, the Wuhuan tribe's pioneering warriors had successfully eliminated the unlucky sentry and quickly charged towards the enemy's stone house.
The chaotic footsteps outside finally woke up Shaou. His reaction was quite quick. After judging that the enemy had touched him, he immediately ordered all the soldiers guarding the pass to rush out and fight the enemy to the death. At this time, the defense alone could not hold on.
Yes, because until dawn, the Qin army will send reinforcements continuously.
Therefore, only by killing all the enemies that come up can we defend the pass. Shaou rushed out of the house first and met the old guy Qiu Lijin head-on.
That's right.
Compared with Shaou, who was young and strong, Qiulijin was already in his fifties. He was indeed a little weak, but his rich battlefield experience was still there. When he saw a burly man rushing out of the enemy's house, Qiulijin immediately reacted. This strong man
Even if he is not an enemy general guarding the pass, he is still an important figure.
"Shoot!"
Following Qiu Lijin's order, the Wuhuan people on the left and right opened their bows and shot at Shaou.
"Ah!" With a scream, Shaou, a warrior of the Xunjia tribe, was hit by several arrows on his head, chest and abdomen. He staggered a few more steps under the pain, and finally fell sideways.
"Go and cut off his head?" Qiu Lijin ordered in a cold voice.
Once Sha'ou died, the remaining Sunga soldiers hiding in the house no longer dared to come out. They relied on the protection of the stone house and tried to make a desperate resistance. But because of this, the Sunga people naturally gave up control of the pass.
right.
The Wuhuan people's raid on Solomon Pass ended when the sun rose. The Sunga soldiers in the stone house were not able to see the sun rise the next day. They were burned to death in the house under Qiulijin's direct order. (
