Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 397 Encouragement from all gentlemen
To the north of Yangpingguan is the Qinling Mountains, and to the south is the Hanshui River.

A small river crossing the Qinling Mountains, the Xianhe River, flows from the Qinling Mountains into the Hanshui River, and Yangping Pass was built at the entrance where the Xianhe River converges to the Hanshui River.

It is precisely because of this unique mountain and river advantage that this place will become the left gate of the Hanzhong Plain, blocking the enemy's attack.

It has been half a month since Yuan Huzhi led the Song Army to stop Helian Bobo here.

In order to better guard against Helian Bobo, Yuan Gozhi built three more pass walls behind Yangping Pass.Now, only the last one has been broken.

The wreckage shot down by the stone cannons is everywhere. The arrows are densely inserted on the ground and on the beams of the house. Occasionally, sporadic sparks can be seen in the haystack...

But no one pays attention to these trivial things anymore.

Because the last wall is almost unstoppable.

Kakinoyuki sat down on the ground and gasped for breath. The continuous several days of fighting had made him a little confused. The most tragic thing was that his left arm had already turned black, which looked extremely bad.

"General."

The soldiers around him were also in a state of depression, but each of them still tried their best to straighten their spines and salute him when they looked at Yuanhu.

"People have been sent to repair the wall. In addition, the medical officers in Hanzhong have also sent new healing medicines, which will almost be sent to the camp."

After the left and right soldiers finished speaking, they still persuaded Yuanhu in a low voice: "General, go to rest, and leave this place to us."

Kakinoyuki had hardly been to the front line since Helian Bobo launched the attack.

Every day when the soldiers gather at dawn, you can see Yuangozhi standing on the wall, and when the night recedes, Yuangozhi is still standing on the wall.

This short and ugly general has now become a banner on the wall of Yangping Pass. As long as he can still stand on the wall, the Song soldiers guarding the pass will have hope in their hearts.

"No need."

There was also dust and dirty blood on the cheeks of Yuan Mori, he wanted to use his left hand to prop up his body to sit up, but the sense of powerlessness coming from his left hand made Yuan Mori a little disappointed.

Putting down the ring sword in his right hand, Yuan Mori reluctantly got up and pointed around: "Pack up all the bows and arrows that can be used, don't waste them."

But the soldiers around him didn't move, but looked at Gakimoru with a bitter face.

"General, the entire army has no good bows or good crossbows."

During half a month of high-intensity combat, equipment wear and tear became extremely rapid.

The bowstring breaks and the crossbow jams, this is already a very common thing.

In fact, there is another more important reason, but these soldiers dare not say——

nobody.

Almost all the [-] soldiers left at Yangping Pass, as well as the soldiers from Hanzhong County in the rear, were wiped out!

It doesn't matter whether there are more than 500 people who can continue to fight the enemy on the wall. Arrows, crossbows... these are really no longer important.

Kakinoyuki pointed at the opponent's nose, looking very annoyed that he dared to muddy himself.

But in the end, Kakinoyuki lowered his arms and let out a sigh.

"Forget it, go and rest."

At this point, any criticism will only be counterproductive.

"General, do you think the reinforcements from Guanzhong will arrive?"

Yuan Huzhi thought of the letter that Helian Bobo shot into the pass, and also thought of what Wang Zhen'e told him when he came to Hanzhong, and he already had the answer in his heart.

This Hanzhong... Maybe there really won't be another reinforcement.

If Helian Bobo really deployed heavy troops in Longyou and Qingzhou, two places that could directly threaten Guanzhong.Even if Yuan Gouzhi himself sits in Guanzhong, he will choose to rescue these two places first.

But Kakinoyuki still responded in a moderate tone: "Naturally!"

"The emperor will not ignore us! Maybe the emperor has already arrived in Hanzhong! You all cheer me up! Don't let the emperor see you like this!"

The soldiers just looked at each other and smiled.

They all knew that it was impossible for the emperor to come to Hanzhong.

But listening to Yuan Morizhi's words, why do you really hope that you can really show your face in front of the emperor?
"General, what does the Son of Heaven look like?"

"General, I heard that the emperor's weapons are all made of gold? Is this true or not?"

"General..."

The soldiers are always full of speculation and longing for the emperor's life, but this makes Yuanmo even more embarrassing.

These soldiers probably will never see the emperor in this life.

Don't talk about them, even yourself...

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

When one of the guards was alone, there was a scout riding a horse unscrupulously in the camp and straight into the direction of the guard.

"Get out of the way! The reinforcements from Guanzhong have arrived!"

Although the behavior was reckless, the words in the mouth of the scout made all the soldiers in the camp stand up slowly, and looked at the scout with disbelieving eyes.

When he got close to Yuan Gou, he immediately got off his horse, embraced Yuan Gouzhi's arms, and reported to Yuan Gou Zhihui out of breath: "General! The reinforcements from Guanzhong have arrived!"

Kakinoyuki was a little dazed by the momentary happiness.

He closed his eyes and tried to shake his head, then grabbed the other person's arm in turn: "What did you say? Say it again!"

"In Guanzhong..."

"No need!"

It was only then that everyone realized that there were more than a dozen cavalrymen in gorgeous clothes behind the scouts, which looked completely different from the surrounding Yangping Pass defenders who had been devastated by the flames of war.

The first young school officer dismounted in front of Yuan Huzhi and saluted: "Xue An, the pioneer officer of the Habayashi Army, has seen General Yuan!"

Habayashi Army...

When Yuan Huzhi heard the number of this unit, he realized that the reinforcements from Guanzhong had really come!
He asked a little excitedly: "How many people are here to help? Who is the general of the army?"

Xue An responded unhurriedly: "There are five thousand soldiers!"

Five thousand...

Yuan Mori's eye movements at this time were actually the same as that of the guard at Hoguguchi, and he suddenly lost his expression.

"Five thousand...five thousand..."

"Five thousand is not bad."

Yuan Gouzhi muttered to himself: "With 5000 people, we can last at least another month. To be able to send these 5000 people, Guan Zhong must have tried his best..."

Even now, Yuan Huzhi has not blamed Guan Zhong, and even spoke for Guan Zhong.

Seeing Yuanhu's gloomy face, Fan Daoji cleared his throat on purpose, attracting the attention of the soldiers in the camp with a loud noise.

Afterwards, he yelled with the loudest voice in his life: "The Son of Heaven will lead an army of [-] feathers to arrive at Yangping Pass in a few days! I hope you will encourage me to hold on for a while!"

The sound was deafening, and the "five thousand soldiers and horses" still seemed a little thin.

But at this time, no one cared about the five thousand soldiers.

They seem to have heard just now...

Son of Heaven?

Seeing everyone around him including Yuan Huzhi's puzzled eyes in shock, Xue An let out a long roar, and shouted again: "The Son of Heaven will arrive at Yangping Pass in a few days!"

"I also hope that you...encourage you!"
