The True Story: The Scroll of the Wind Chapter 27 Attacking Guigu Pass
After a long time, the door pivot sounded slightly, and the lacquered Zhu city gate more than ten zhang high opened outward.
The young general with a purple and gold crown on his head stepped on the snow, and the sound of scales and armor rustled behind him.
At this time, Yang Xian saw from a distance an elderly man wearing a felt hat and an old dragon bell in front of him.
I saw that the man was holding a bright wind lantern in his hand, and greeted him in the dust, and bowed to him, saying, "I don't know if the little general still remembers the old slave?"
"Are you...... Tomber. Yang Xian smiled: "After a few years, how is your old man's health?"
"Thanks to you, all is well. The old man immediately smiled and replied respectfully, "According to the instructions of the head of the family, the villain has been here for a long time.
"The soldiers have come from afar, and they must have been tired all the way. The lord of the family ordered a banquet to be prepared in the camp to entertain the soldiers.
"I also asked the little general to go to the barracks to settle the three armies, and move to the Qingfeng Hall with old age. The head of the family has already set up a feast there, specially for the little general. ”
"That's very good, and that's where there is Lottober. ”
"The little general is serious, and let it be old and decaying. ”
The glazed tiles on the Qingfeng Hall fall in the pale blue sky, the palace lamps hanging under the eaves dispel the chill before dawn, and three or two gorgeously dressed ladies slowly walk into the Haohao Hall with food.
I saw the old man carrying a lantern leading the way, while Yang Xian stood there, staring at the snow-capped city. Then, he led the bridle of the horse and followed, and more than 100,000 Huaibei soldiers entered Zheng'an City.
Since pacifying the entire territory of Longyou, the Heavenly Wolf King Apache was ordered to guard the city, and the left general Dugu Ye led his troops to the North Underworld in three ways.
The deputy general Wei Jiqian led a group of troops to attack Anyi Mansion in the north; Zhang Fengyi, who had made contributions in Fancheng, led another army of troops and horses to attack Changshan Mansion in the south; while Dugu Ye personally led the main force of the Dark Demon Cavalry to cross Lingshui and conquer Yong and Huai Mansions one after another.
There were originally twelve prefectures in the Northern Underworld, and one-third of the territory had already fallen.
After that, Dugu Ye's troops rushed overnight and quickly advanced the battle line to Guigu Pass, the fortress of the Northern Underworld, but unexpectedly suffered heavy losses from the main force of the Northern Underworld here.
This battle lost more than 30,000 dark demon riders, so the troops were temporarily dismissed.
A few days later, Wei Jiqian and Zhang Fengyi brought troops to help, and formally joined forces with Dugu Ye's troops in the Mengshan area on the west side of Guigu Pass. After the merger of the three armies, the morale soared, and Dugu Ye once again raised his army to attack Guigu Pass. This time, the two armies fought fiercely for a long time, and each suffered casualties.
From then on, Feng Wei ordered to hold the pass here, and the three armies were not allowed to fight.
Due to the hundreds of miles of mountains and mountains, if the troops retreat at this moment, they will be easily ambushed. If you move elsewhere, it will take time. In view of this, Dugu Ye stationed troops here and continued to confront the enemy.
After that, the pace of the main attack of the Dark Demon Cavalry was interrupted, and it was impossible to advance an inch of land.
Dugu Ye did not dismantle his armor at night, and discussed with the generals how to break the army, so that the candles in the golden tent were often bright. The same situation is naturally playing out in the Qingfeng Hall of Zheng'an City. However, what they were thinking about was the way to defend the city, and the next place where the demon clan might invade.
The sun dawned, and the horns sounded.
The bronze gate rises above the arrow tower, and the outer side of the eaves wall is densely lined with arched arrow windows. The crossbowmen at the battlements were ready, each carrying a quiver with thirty-six black-feathered arrows. The iron arrowhead that poked out of the window was blazing with blazing flames.
The enemy army that invaded Guigu Pass was surging, and Feng Wei and Yang Xian led the troops to resist on the city tower.
The mechanism buried deep in the ground was immediately triggered, causing the thistles outside the gate to explode along the way.
For a while, the flames were everywhere, and the surrounding monsters were killed and injured countless times, and the lineup was suddenly chaotic.
Seeing this, Feng Qi raised his hand slightly and ordered the crossbowmen defending the city to start firing with their bows.
Arrows with fire fell from the sky one after another, and many dark demons rode over and landed in a volley of ten thousand arrows, and the surrounding heavenly wolves began to scatter and retreat.
At this time, Yang Xian suddenly proposed: "Wouldn't you take advantage of the victory to pursue him at this moment, wouldn't you kill him by surprise?"
"No, you can't. Feng Yu said categorically: "The terrain of Guigu Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the dark demon riders in Rinzhou are fierce and good at fighting, they are useless here.
"Besides, Mengshan is victorious, and there are ambushes on the left and right sides. If you go out of the customs at this time to meet the enemy, you will definitely kill it for the dark demon rider on the way.
"Now, our army is guarding the North Underworld Road with Guigu Pass as a barrier, and we just need to wait for the opportunity to move.
"Dugu Ye has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Mengshan, and if he can't attack here for a long time, the morale of the other side is bound to decline. Once they pull out the camp and retreat, you and I will lead our troops to the battle, and the enemy will naturally be defeated. ”
"It's still my brother who thinks about it. Yang Xian replied with a smile: "In a few days, the reinforcements of Cui Qianguang from the Jidong Jiedu should also arrive." At that time, the two armies will be able to kill him without leaving a single piece of armor and recover those cities that have been captured by the enemy. ”
"Having said that, I'm afraid that this Zuo general is not so easy to deal with. ”
"What is my brother worried about?"
"I always feel that the battle is too easy these days, and I don't feel very comfortable in my heart. Feng Yu replied, "What's more, in recent days, none of the scouts I sent out to spy on the military situation have returned. ”
"Brother, don't worry too much. Yang Xian said, "Since ancient times, there have been many treacherous generals, and it is difficult for suspicious soldiers to enter. He's clearly bluffing you.
"Who doesn't know that this Guigu Pass is the throat of the Northern Underworld, if you capture this place, you can go straight to Huanglong and take the opportunity to seize Zheng'an City. If you are willing to go far and near, will you not be confused?
"As for the seven generals Li Yixuan, who is dealing with Zhang Xiu, the envoy of the Lingnan Festival, I am afraid that he himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, how can he send troops to support him?
"Unless the right general Yingcheng Yin abandons Guangyang County, which is guarding the ghost country, and decisively leads troops south to attack. ”
"Brother Xian, what you said is reasonable. However, the fighter plane changes rapidly, and the victory or defeat is all a matter of thought. In order to be in charge of the lives of the three armies, all affairs must be foresighted. Feng Wei said with a stern face: "What's more, this battle is related to the overall situation, don't take it lightly." And the general Zuo is a hero in the world, and his martial arts are not inferior to me, and he is not hindered by prudence. ”
"My brother has taught me a lesson, and my foolish brother has been taught this time. Yang Xian continued: "Since this is the case, you might as well send someone to explore its truth again.
"It's just that I heard that Dugu Ye is from the Taichen royal family, and he is from the same sect as the Daozhi Emperor who killed Ling Zun, why does my brother seem to have no hatred in his heart, but he exalts him like this?"
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and your mind will be chaotic and easy to make mistakes. Feng Wei explained: "Therefore, the general must be determined. If you can't even control this heart, you are not qualified to continue to lead troops to fight.
What's more, Emperor Daozhi and I have a grudge against my father, so why should I be angry with Dugu Ye because of this?"
Then, for a long time, he stared at the black clouds rolling in the sky, as if thinking about something.
Thirty days later, the army of Taichen Kingdom invaded Guigu Pass again.
However, this time, the monsters under the city are like bees and ants, and their troops are several times higher than before.
Dugu Ye then rode his horse and appeared on the Meng Mountain, and the navy-blue mountain armor looked shining under the light of the newborn sun. And Feng Wei and Yang Xian commanded the battle in the city tower, silently looking at him from afar. Feng Yu saw the smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, and suddenly his heart sank.
At this moment, the horse's hooves with green flames crossed the sky above the city walls, and the dead men with spears slaughtered them from the flames. Zhang Fengyi personally led 3,000 dead soldiers to raid and took the lead when he entered the battle to kill the enemy.
These dead soldiers are all composed of the elite of the Dark Demon Riders, and their eyes are cold and determined. The green-backed dragon horses under them were covered in cyan scales, making them invulnerable.
At this moment, I saw them riding their horses at the expense of their lives, and their momentum seemed unstoppable.
The spear thrown at the barracks was covered with a yellow paper charm with a fire pattern on it, and it detonated as soon as the tip of the spear hit the ground. The flames that swept in were blazing, not only burying the lives of many officers and soldiers, but also the dead soldiers who threw their guns, as well as men and horses, disappeared into the flames.
At that time, the weather was dry and dry, and countless burdens were burned.
The barracks were full of fire, but they didn't know where the enemy was coming. The officers and soldiers defending the city were suddenly in chaos, trampling on each other and suffering countless casualties. The generals from Huaibei are proficient in water law and are working together to cast spells to put out fires.
Taking advantage of this civil strife, the giant beast shaped like a mole cricket pushed the Lu bus and began to attack the city fiercely.
Dozens of sturdy wolves were carrying battering rams, constantly slamming into the city gates.
At the same time, arrows of fire and molten iron from the furnace poured down from the walls. Yet they risked their lives until a crack opened in the sturdy gate in front of them.
Wearing bronze samurai masks, the dark demon riders from Rinju rode into the Guigu Pass one after another, piercing the bodies of the Terran soldiers with their shiny spears. They galloped through the pass, as if they were in a no-man's land. The officers and soldiers defending the city had no way to retreat, regained their confidence in the battle, and followed the generals around them to fight bravely to kill the enemy.
The two armies had been fighting for a long time, and Dugu Ye wanted to step forward to join the battle, but he saw a young general with a purple and gold crown coming to Yu Feng, pointed his sword at him, and asked coldly: "Where do the demon thieves want to go?"
This son was wearing the silver dragon pattern fine scale armor, which carried the mountain family crest of the Yang family.
Presumably he is the younger brother mentioned by Yang Qingyan in her early years. If he fights with him later, Hugh will hurt his life. Dugu Ye thought to himself so secretly, and replied casually: "Your Excellency's strength is so small. We have come from afar, and you don't let the people eat pot pulp to welcome us, but turn us away, which is not hospitality. ”
"Guigu Pass has not yet changed hands, and the demon thieves should not be rampant. Yang Xian said this, and suddenly raised his sword and stabbed him. Dugu Ye had no choice but to swing his sword on horseback to resist, and then leaned back and flew away.
At this time, Dugu Ye suddenly heard the sound of the halberd passing in the wind, and the rolling killing intent seemed to be coming from Jiang Tao, which made him quickly turn over in the air and fall to the ground steadily.
"If I hadn't been vigilant all the time, I'm afraid that this body would have already been smeared. Dugu Ye said, "It seems that those old guys in the Taiyao Sect really hate me to the core."
"I have heard that Your Excellency's martial arts are world-famous, and the painting halberd dances vigorously, which makes many heroes and heroes frightened. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name.
"I heard that Lord Feng is one of the 'Nanhua Twin Heroes', so I have long wanted to compete with you. ”
The Northern Hades Festival made Feng Wei stretch out his arms and open his hand, and the artifact Overlord Halberd was already in his hand again. The armor on his body is decorated with gold, silver, and copper armor plates, and it looks majestic.
"General Zuo is really too humble, and your prestige is also like thunder.
"A swordsmanship as fast as you, among the younger generation of Nanhua Kingdom, I have only been fortunate enough to see it in Lu Wencheng. ”
"What else is my brother talking to him?" Yang Xian pressed his left hand on the hilt of the other sword, and the long sword that came out of its sheath flashed with a cold light. "This demon thief actually set the dead man on fire to set himself on fire, so that he could open the gate of my Guigu Pass. Such a madman, my generation wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
"Oh, who are you?" Dugu Ye asked pretending not to know, "Even Lord Feng has to think carefully about this, I don't know where Your Excellency's confidence comes from?"
"I'm angry, listen up. The person who came to take Er's life was Yang Xian, the envoy of Huaibei Jiedu. Then, I saw Yang Xian holding two swords, slowly reciting a spell and casting spells, and said, "Immortal Law • Water Dragon Yin." ”
For a time, the mountains shook, and the wind and rain were blowing.
Suddenly the dragon groaned, and a behemoth rose from behind him.
I saw that the water dragon's eyes were red and its mane was pitch black, and its skin made of clear water was lined with fine cyan dragon scales, and two huge fleshy long whiskers swayed in the wind, and it stared at the enemy.
Dugu Ye pulled out the Fire Demon Book from the palm of his hand and said, "Immortal Law • Ten Thousand Glass Fire." ”
At this time, a magnificent multicolored glazed fire rose from the ground, condensing into a pillar of light that penetrated the belly of the water dragon.
I saw that it was immediately broken into two sections, turned into two long rivers and flowed down the two sides of Mengshan Mountain, and then flooded towards Guigu Pass.
When Yang Xian saw this, he suddenly became angry, completely ignoring Feng Wei's dissuasion, and rushed forward with two swords in his hand. Feng Wei was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he had to wield a halberd to cover for him. And Dugu Ye is one against two, and he seems to be calm and unhurried. Even if the opponent's move is fatal, he can save the day.
The words are divided into two ends, but Zhang Fengyi led the troops to fight for a long time, and has occupied most of the city, while the defenders are gradually invincible due to more than half of the dead and wounded, and they have fled to the west.
Unexpectedly, at this time, another road of people and horses entered the pass, which made him suddenly shocked.
It turned out that it was the Jidong Jiedu that made Cui Qianguang lead his troops to help in time, and the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted for a while, and the two sides were inseparable.
