Chapter 580: Xiao Guan

Clearing the scout post all the way, the guards on the city wall were still dozing off when they arrived at the gate.

It's autumn, and the weather is starting to get a little cooler at night in the Northland, and the guards are very close to the campfire.

Several jet-black crossbows flew out and sank into the throats of the guards, and the men in black began to climb the stone walls with their bare hands.

The movements are not hurried, but they are full of rhythm and efficiency, and they will not be up to the city wall in a short time.

After a while, presumably tending to the living mouth of the city wall, several black ropes hung down from the city.

Su Chihuo waved his hand, and the hundred-person team pulled the rope and quickly climbed to the top of the city.

Extinguishing the remaining flames on the city, the team began planting explosives throughout the city.

Soon, the gate opened, and a horse, covered in black cloth and wrapped in hooves, rushed out of the gate and galloped south.

Su Lie wore a black iron mask and led the only army in black uniforms in the Great Song Dynasty, the Ho'an Army, and entered Shimenxia at night and waited five miles away from Shimen Village.

This is the most tense moment, Tiandu Mountain is on the flank of his rear, and Su You's tactical requirement is to take Shimen Village without alarming the Tiandu Mountain garrison!

If exposed, Su Lie must defend the north passage of Shimenxia and the flank passage from Tiandu Mountain to Shimenxia, and at the same time launch signal flares, and the rear hoarding army and the crane control army will rush to support, launch a night battle, and achieve the strategic goal at any cost.

But in that case, the loss would be a bit big.

A black horse appeared in front silently, Su Lie breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and the army rushed forward.

Thirty miles of rapid march at night, one of the daily training subjects of the Hoarding Army, at the fourth watch, I have seen the black city wall and the open city gate of Shimen Village in front of me!

There were constant explosions, shouts, and screams in the city, and Su Chihuo's team and the defenders of Shimen Village had fallen into a fierce battle!

The battle began at the stable, when a Western Xia soldier woke up at night and found the stable door open and a few horses missing, and rang the gong regardless of it.

Soon the soldiers were knocked down by the crossbow arrows fired in the darkness, but more were awakened, and they hurried out of the camp gates, rushing to the vital points, only to stumble over the tightropes installed in the road.

"Boom!" "Boom!" After several explosions, Shimen Village was in chaos!

The stone gate guard didn't have time to put on it, so he got up from the bed, picked up the long knife on the desk and rushed out of the big tent: "Where did the sergeant make trouble?!" ”

He didn't believe that it would be an enemy attack, and the Song people dared not to take Tiandu Mountain and attack Shimen Village, which was hundreds of miles away, this was impossible!

In the black light and blind fire, there are short arrows flying everywhere, and I don't know where the other party is or how many people there are.

Occasionally, there was a flash of red light, followed by a thunderous explosion, and only human figures could be seen flying in the firelight, and the screams were continuous, and then only a remnant of the red light flashed in sight.

The guard's heart was cold: "Move closer to me!" Kill the walls of the North Gate! Send scouts to the rear for help! ”

Tiandu Mountain didn't dare to count on it, although I don't know what method the enemy used, but it definitely came from the south.

Soon, an explosion sounded in the north, and Yu Hou fled back with a crossbow arrow on his shoulder: "Eunuch! We're besieged! ”

"How is that possible?! Follow me, lose the stockade, and if you die in battle, you can still keep your family alive! Retreat to the north gate first, and fight your way out! ”

Then he saw Yu Hou's eyes wide in horror in the firelight, and the guard found that he was suddenly unable to make a sound.

Reaching out and touching it, at some point, there was already a short arrow on his throat, and the guard pulled it out fiercely, and the system of short arrows made him understand everything.

"Dog's Day Hoarding Army!" The Guard made a silent gesture and fell to his knees in the darkness.

The sound of galloping from the south sounded, and thousands of black-clothed soldiers, like black panthers walking at night in the mountains and forests, pounced on Shimen Village!

On July 15, Su You's army captured Shimen Village at night, Shimen Gorge fell into the hands of the Song army, the cavalry rushed out of Shimen Gorge, the terrain suddenly opened up, and the east and west armies were able to fully unfold, into an attack formation, and went straight to Xiaoguan!

50,000 Song troops rushed for 100 miles in one day and one night, and arrived at the city of Xiaoguan, behind them was the continuous Liangchuan ripe Bo, the guard general Wei Ming Shi Mo was shocked, the Song army had wings and flew over? ! Why is there no movement in Tiandu Mountain and Shimen Village?!

While sending a fast horse to report urgently to Xingqing Mansion, and on the other hand, he sent a message to Liang Yi, who was still three hundred miles away, and immediately returned to the army, otherwise Xiao Pass would be broken, and the Hetao would not be guaranteed, and if Weizhou fell, the Huanqing army would even be in danger of being cut off!

The Song army did not seem to be in the slightest hurry, and stationed outside Xiao Pass to consolidate the defense area.

There were more and more people, and Wei Ming Shimo organized several attacks, trying to attack as defense, but the Song army's defense line was extremely tough, and they seemed to be unwilling to attack at all, and they were bent on repairing their turtle shells.

Then he rolled out huge carts stacked with sandbags, crossed the trench, and dug under the trench towards the city, but there was no siege.

Wei Ming Shimo couldn't figure out the number of Song Jun's roads, what were so many people doing under the city? Why not attack? is so blatantly digging a tunnel, so what's the suddenness, when the time comes, it's not a matter of fire and smoke to guard the exit of the tunnel by yourself?

Don't they know that soldiers are fast?

Soon the answer will be revealed, they are waiting for someone!

A day later, another huge team came to the front of the pass, except for a Song army squad of the Chinese army, surrounded by Tibetans.

Daxu moved forward, and the Yongxing army in Shaanxi passed through a little pacification envoy - Su.

Su oil has arrived!

An earth-shattering cheer rang out in the Tibetan tribe: "Yixi Weishe! Yesy Wicker! ”

Su You dismounted, helped an old man beside him down, and beckoned Zhang Qi: "Little Seventh Brother will lead the horses down, and all the horses will retreat to five miles away." ”

The old Fan people were Su You's old comrades-in-arms when they were besieged and hoarded last time, and looked at the tall Xiaoguan city wall: "This city is the boss, Yixi Weishe, the Fan people can't attack the city, this ...... You don't want us to be beggars, do you? ”

Su You laughed: "Old man, you are too worried, the main thing is to take you over to watch a trick, this city does not need to be attacked, it will collapse by itself." ”

The old man felt a little dizzy: "That...... Isn't that a divine punishment from heaven? ”

Su You turned his head: "Ah Lie, are you ready?" ”

Su Lie nodded: "Ready, if you don't start again, Yao Yu and Qidi themselves will fight first." ”

Su You waved his hand: "Then let's start." ”

The horn sounded, and the Song army began to form a team, listing two large phalanxes, with two barbarian forwards in front, and neatly hoarding the troops in the rear, and then behind them, the extremely excited and inexplicable infantry of the Fan army.

On the city wall, the famous stone desert nervously deployed troops, and the posture of the Song army was to settle the situation in one fell swoop.

But the problem is, without siege equipment, will it really fly?

The huge crossbow was erected on the city wall, and the bed crossbow of the Western Xia people was more advanced than the three-bow crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty, with a range of more than 1,000 steps, and the huge arrows that were shining in the cold light were facing the Song army array thousands of steps away.

Wei Ming Shi Mo snatched the mallet from the sergeant's hand and waited to shoot the first arrow at the Song army under the city.

However, the Song army did not attack, but the city under his feet suddenly shook and collapsed all at once!

Immediately after a deafening roar, a huge explosion wave pushed the famous stone desert into the sky!

The city tower in front of Xiao Pass collapsed with a bang in the sound of explosions, and the tower, flags, bed crossbows, and sergeants ...... Everything was reduced to ruins in the smoke and dust, mud and rubble, wooden pillars, doors and walls, stumps and broken arms, and some fragments were even thrown into the Song army formation thousands of steps away!

The old man also felt a sudden earthquake on the ground, and then the shock wave suddenly spread outward at a speed visible to the naked eye, centered on the city gate.

Immediately after, the head of the city cracked and collapsed, and a huge earth dragon surged from the ground at the city gate, breaking the collapsed tower to pieces.

The deafening thunder swept towards the Song army's position with the yellow smoke and dust, and when they could vaguely see the front again, all the people were horrified to find that there was a gap ten zhang wide in the front of the entire Xiao Pass!

The majestic Seki Castle has disappeared in its entirety!

The old man fell to his knees with a puff: "Heavenly Bodhisattva, ......"
