On the eighteenth day after Xu Yanmao died under the Kuoshan Pass, the sentinel cavalry of the Eastern Army appeared outside the Kuoshan Pass, and the vanguard of Zheng Xiaoyang's First Army, led by Ding Wei, finally arrived here.

The long valley was like a beast with a bloody mouth wide open, smiling and waiting for his prey to be thrown into its mouth, Ding Wei rode on his horse, stared at the only passage leading to Kunshan Pass, and roared loudly: "Pang Jun. Take your camp, I will give you a day to open this valley, and I will camp under the pass of Kunshan after dark. ”

"Yes!" Pang Jun, who was short and fat, like a door panel, snapped upright, "The subordinates obey the order, before dark, the army commander will camp under the Kunshan Pass." ”

Turning back to his troops, Pang Jun glanced at his eager subordinates and shouted: "Brothers, you are lucky, Lao Tzu has earned the vanguard, the army commander said, before dark, we will camp under the Kunshan Pass, can you do it?" ”

"Conquer the Eastern Army, Wan Sheng!" He was answered by the cries of thousands of soldiers.

"Good. Shieldmen, 1st Column Cover, Pikemen, Short Knife Soldiers, 2nd Column 3rd Column Cover, Crossbowmen, 4th Column Ranged Attack. Other foot soldiers, carry with them striking wood, ladders. ”

"Whoa!"

"Conquer the Eastern Army, advance!" Pang Jun pointed forward with his long knife, and with a shout, according to the arrangement of Pang Jun, a column of Zhengdong Army strode towards the valley in the distance.

"Chen Wei." Watching Pang Jun's team disappear into the valley, Ding Wei stretched out his hand to summon another general, "See the hillside on the right, right?" ”

"See."

"The left side is steep and you can't stand on it, but on the right side it's a long, gentle slope, and the opponent will definitely be on top of the wall, with cover, so you pick some good climbers and climb up. If there is an enemy, sweep it for me, if not, where to occupy a position, and then I have two bed crossbows come up and cover the attack of the Pang army from top to bottom. ”

"Understood."

In the depths of the valley, Wu He stood on the wall, staring at the vague and gradually clear column of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the distance, his palms were a little damp, although he had also been shaken face to face with Donghu in Liaoning Wei. But now they are also facing the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition who have not tasted defeat.

Looking back to the left and right, the soldiers were half-kneeling on the ground with their longbows in their hands and arrows on their strings, and behind them, a column of soldiers sat cross-legged, without much nervousness, and their hearts were slightly stretched. The wall here only serves as a delay for the enemy's attack, and there are no heavy weapons such as bed crossbows, because once the wall is broken. Such a heavy weapon, which cannot be withdrawn in time, is better placed on the wall of the Kunshan Pass, which can cause greater damage to the enemy. But here the rolling logs. Stones, but there is everything.

The opposing army did not adjust the ranks of the soldiers with the beat of the drums, but the officers shouted the trumpets. The sound of the one-two-one password is not unfamiliar to Wu He, because the newly organized Yan army now uses the same password, and this qiē comes from the legendary general, Gao Yuan.

Now, he's his own enemy.

Wu He was very sorry in his heart, a few years ago, Gao Yuan was still their comrade-in-arms, together with the expedition to Donghu, when he was in Liaoning Wei to defend, Gao Yuan also fought bloody battles in Donghu, when the Yan army was completely defeated, only Gao Yuan's expedition to the East Army, after the annihilation of tens of thousands of Donghu troops, fought out of the encirclement.

When Wu He withdrew with Hu Yanchao, he was happy for the news for several days, but what happened then made him dumbfounded, and inexplicably, the lofty Eastern Army suddenly turned against the imperial court, and the former friendly army became an enemy.

A loud sound of military trumpets in the opposing army called Wu He's thoughts back, and a thousand steps away from the first wall, the queue of the soldiers of the Eastern Army paused slightly, and then began to open the gap between the queues, the first wave of attack was about a thousand people, divided into three waves, Wu He estimated the strength of the other party in his heart.

Then, he heard the sound of the trumpet on the opposite side, which suddenly became louder, it was the sound of the trumpet. Over the years, the Yan army has finally figured out the meaning of the horn of the Eastern Army.

The shield-bearers at the front of the line suddenly increased their speed, and behind them, the pikemen and swordsmen slowed down, and in their place carried ladders and wooden foot soldiers, and in the middle of them was a crossbowmen.

"Archer, prepare!" Wu He's hands tightened and he shouted loudly.

Pang Jun stood in the first shockwave, and he liked the feeling of charging into battle.

"Crossbow!" He roared loudly as he strode forward.

Hundreds of crossbowmen raised their arms and crossbows in unison.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, no shouting, only the muffled sound of countless pairs of big feet stepping on the ground, the pressure of this dull head-down charge was more frightening than the screams of the boiling sky.

The range of the arm-open crossbow reached a terrifying four hundred paces, of course, at a distance of four hundred paces, the lethality was greatly reduced, and if it was about two hundred steps, it was the time when he was the most lethal. Pang Jun saw that the soldiers on the opposite wall had poked out from the city wall, and the range of the bows and arrows in their hands was about 100 paces, if they wanted to cause fatal injuries, they had to be at a distance of fifty or sixty paces, compared to the crossbow, it was not on the same level.

One hundred and fifty steps, Pang Jun yelled, "Shoot! ”

The soldiers on the wall just leaned out, when they opened their bows and arrows to aim, they ushered in the baptism of the opponent's crossbow arrows, accompanied by the crossbow arrows that broke through the air, on the wall, they immediately mourned, and nearly twenty people fell on the spot, and the rest let go of the bowstring in their hands, and let the long arrows shoot aimlessly, at this distance, even if they hit, it is impossible to cause fatal injuries to the opponent.

Wu He's fists were clenched tighter, and his fingernails were deeply embedded in his palms, and if there were several bed crossbows on top of the wall, he could easily break through his opponent's formation, but now, he didn't.

He looked up at the hillside to his left.

With a shout, on the hillside on the left, hundreds of Yan soldiers suddenly appeared, they lifted pieces of polished round stones, and smashed them down the mountain, the stone balls rolled down the hillside, and with the bumps again and again, these stone balls bounced higher and higher. Finally, he volleyed down into the air and smashed towards the advancing Eastern Army in the valley.

In the roar, in the team, a blank space was smashed out one by one, and Pang Jun didn't look at the top, even if just now a stone ball was bounced several times, and finally smashed it beside him, smashing a hole out of the solid ground, and the soldiers around him were scared into a cold sweat, but he didn't move.

"Forward. Accelerate forward! ”

The first row of shield soldiers rushed to a place dozens of steps below the wall, and with a snatch, the thick shield was inserted into the ground, the crossbowmen accelerated, rushed to the back of the shield, and after the first round of crossbows, the soldiers on the wall finally had the opportunity to lean out and shoot arrows downward. The crossbowmen hid behind their shields, quickly loaded their crossbows with arrows, and gave an order. After the shield, a rain of crossbows flew out again, and the rain of arrows on the city was once again suppressed, seize this opportunity. The soldiers, carrying the ladder and the log, immediately rushed up.

The ladder climbed the wall, and the wood slammed against the thin gate, and with each impact, the entire wall seemed to shake.

The rocks on the hill kept rolling down. Crashing into the attacking ranks, one soldier after another fell in the stone impact, but Pang Jun ignored it.

"Battalion commander." An officer ran over. "This hillside must be taken, let me take someone!"

"You go for a ball!" Pang Jun scolded: "Can you climb this ramp?" It's to climb up, and you still have a few people, to attack forward, to move forward. All the soldiers, give me the ant-attached siege city, rush under the wall, and climb up. ”

Before Pang Jun's words fell, on the hillside, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing, and the falling stones suddenly decreased, Pang Jun looked up and couldn't help grinning, "Damn, look at you still smashing Lao Tzu." ”

Chen Wei led hundreds of elite soldiers to climb the hillside from the other side, and was fighting face to face with his opponent.

"Up, siege." Pang Jun held a knife in one hand and a ladder in the other, and climbed up.

Half an hour later, Wu He gave up the first wall and retreated to the second, but Pang Jun did not have the slightest intention of stopping and rectifying, and continued to wave his army to attack.

Chen Wei had already cleared the Yan army on the hillside, and in an hour of casual hand, he brought up another bed crossbow.

When Pang Jun broke through the second wall again, Chen Wei's first bed crossbow shot at the third wall with a sharp whistling sound.

The damage caused by a bed crossbow is very limited, but the fear it brings is immeasurable, and everyone knows that as long as they are rubbed by that guy, there is little hope of survival.

Without waiting for dark, Pang Jun led his troops to highlight the valley, Wu He took his remaining more than 700 Yan troops, retreated into the Kuoshan Pass, he once thought that he could at least support in the valley for more than a few days, but now, he didn't hold on for even a day, he was driven out, when he stood on the high Kuoshan Pass, looking at the general of the Eastern Army who was wielding a big knife and pointing at himself with a bloody halberd, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Can you hold out through the mountain pass? This is a completely different team from the armies that they have fought before.

"Discouraged?" Beside him, the voice of his boss Wu Bo came.

"It's not that I'm discouraged, but I feel a little helpless!" Wu He turned his head and looked at his boss, "It's okay if the other party is not afraid of death, but their organizational strength is even more terrifying, the army's combat skills are extremely strong, once they break through the city wall, several people can build a small team, cooperate with each other, and it is easy for them to open the gap." General, the defense of Kunshan Pass must do everything in its power to prevent them from ascending the city wall. ”

"Kunshan, it made the Donghu people helpless back then, now let's take a look at the Eastern Army!" Wu Bo's expression didn't show any change in expression, "It's Ding Wei under Zheng Xiaoyang, this person is from Gao Yuan's own soldiers, the most brave person, what kind of general leads what kind of soldier, such a person, as long as he still has a little strength, he will go into the attack." Wu He, you take a rest, at night, let's go out and attack them at night. (To be continued......)
