Surrounded by the Gobi, the barren grass lies down continuously, the ancient pass of Yumen Pass, the earthy yellow city head reflects the golden sunshine, the wind blows up the dust and walks away, bringing up one after another dry blades of grass, lonely and desolate without much life.

Wu Yueya stood under the red banner and watched the scene ahead, the north direction was a desert hill, which was very suitable for ambush, and the west side was a low slope land, which could also be dormant.

Yumen Pass is really not suitable for fighting, according to the usual battle ideas, to break through this pass, you have to spend some troops to pay attention to the situation on the left and right flanks, in case the ambush arranged by the enemy in advance pierces the camp, it is equivalent to half of the defeat.

Lay out a map in the wilderness and discuss the siege with the two generals Zuo Zhishu and Cen Shen, and it should not be a problem to use artillery to break through the city gate in this battle.

"However, this gate looks stronger, and artillery bombardment may be less effective, so a demolition team must be sent to the gate to set up powder kegs and blow the gate open from below!"

Zuo Zhishu put away the monoculars, propped up the table with both hands, and said seriously.

"How many times does it take to destroy artillery if it's used?"

Cen Shen asked, such an endless and unobstructed object, a large-scale feint attack will have heavy casualties, and if you can use artillery, you can use artillery, and can't you blow up a city gate by bombarding in turns.

Zuo Zhishu shook his head and pointed to the Yumen Pass on the map, "This is an armament fortress, no better than Tongguan, if it is Tongguan, it is easy to say, and here, the fortress gate is strong, I heard Chen Xuanli say that the gate of Yumen Pass is a double gate, which is more solid!" Artillery bombardment is hardly an absolute effect! ”

When Wu Yueya heard this, she also felt that the Sky Bombardment Cannon was difficult to have the effect of attacking fortifications, even if it could blow up the city gate, it would only be partially damaged, not to mention that it was a double city gate, which needed a real powder keg to blast it.

It's a pity that the power of the Sky Bombardment Cannon is not enough to fire iron balls, otherwise the city gates can be smashed with iron balls, and the production speed of gunpowder cannot be improved, let alone large cannon barrels.

"The task of organizing the demolition team will be handed over to General Zuo, but before that, I hope that General Cen will formulate a battle formation plan to reduce casualties and cover the arrival of the demolition team at the gate of the pass, and we also need to guard against the surprise attack on both flanks, don't forget, the Uighur general who controls the Yumen Pass is Hemu, a wolf that eats wolf meat!"

Wu Yueya heard that the two had different opinions, so she made a division of labor and cooperation, and at the same time reminded them not to underestimate each other.

As the sun gradually sank into the gray sky, Wu Yueya sat on the big white tiger and stood on the hill quietly looking at the condensed formation below.

The sword and shield men on the left and right flanks were lined up, the pikemen were in the gap to prevent the cavalry from attacking, and in the front row were the sword and shield men advancing with shields on their heads, and between them, there were several demolition teams pushing wheelbarrows.

Cen Shen and Zuo Zhishu went hand in hand, and the two generals worked together with each other and made the best cooperation.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yueya nodded, the cooperation between each other is the most important, and set her eyes on the Yumen Pass in the distance, using the telescope, you can observe that all kinds of stones, rolling wood and quicksand at the head of the fortress are ready, Wu Yueya smiled disapprehantly, but unfortunately, they attacked the city directly to open the city gate, and they did not intend to fight a protracted battle, nor did they intend to attack the city.

The neighing of war horses rose with the wind, and the steady footsteps also sounded in the northwest borderland, but Da Bai under Wu Yue's seat sneezed, because the wind and sand blocked his nose.

Wu Yueya picked up the kettle, washed Dabai's nose, and then looked at the situation ahead.

The rain of arrows rained down like a waterfall.

The sword and shield soldiers will retreat even if they are hit by an arrow, and their task is to escort the demolition team to the city gate to plant explosives.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers scattered on both wings were neatly lined up with broadsword cavalry, ready to go out at any time, waiting for the city gate to be breached, and also waiting for the enemy troops to attack on the left and right.

And Hemu, the defender, did not look at the battle situation from the city gate, but 50,000 soldiers lurking on the hills to the north, and his plan was just like Wu Yueya's guess, but he found that the enemy seemed to be prepared and intended to guard against the terrain on the left and right, which made it inconvenient for him to attack secretly.

It's just that under his observation, he didn't find anything like ladders and siege vehicles, but the sword and shield soldiers in front of the right flank became the target of his sprint, and since he couldn't disrupt the opponent's formation, he would tear through the opponent's front team.

Attacking them requires an eye out for the motorized cavalry behind the black shields on the right flank, their pitch-black armor looks pretty good, grab some to bring back as trophies.

Wielding his scimitar, he whistled and whipped his horse, and charged at a rapid pace.

Thick sand and dust rolled up from the hills to the north, and hordes of Uighur horsemen sprinted down and struck deftly into the middle of the battlefield, lining up in two formations of the Wind City, one rushing to the array of black-armored broadswords, and the other rushing to the front row of unsuspecting sword and shield soldiers.

Wu Yueya watched this scene from a distance, her heart tightened, something was not good, according to the other party's way of commanding the army, there was a high probability that ambushes would be set up on the left and right, but she ignored the meticulous observation of the other party's formation, and now this situation can only be observed by pressing her heart.

Cen Shen and Zuo Zhishu observed this situation on their horses, and the two glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

"General Zuo, Cen led the cavalry to help!"

"General Cen, Zuo will go to arrange the artillery array first, and at that distance, you can touch the opponent's array!"

"Good!"

The two parted ways and took immediate action.

Soon, a volley of artillery broke the unique silence of the wilderness, and a thick flower of fire bloomed in the array of Uighur horsemen.

Such an attack slowed down the Uighur cavalry's forward array, and the Uighur warriors who had fallen off their horses died under their own hooves.

Ignoring the artillery fire falling from the sky, Hemu shouted like madness, "Those who fall off their horses are waste, kill, eat their flesh, and drink their blood!" Ha ha! ”

Having completed the array, the Uighur cavalry continued to charge towards the sword-and-shield men who were charging at the top shield.

The sword and shield soldiers on the right flank heard the movement in the north, and one of the three people in the group drew his sword and stood up, tacitly organizing into a sword and two shields to cooperate, no longer caring about the archers at the head of the city, no matter which side, it is likely to kill them, this is their best cooperation method at present.

The onslaught of the Uighur cavalry followed, and the front rows of shields were directly rammed by the horses and flew several feet away, and the rain of arrows was also falling, and the Uighur defenders at the head of the city did not seem to care about friend or foe.

Through the binoculars, Wu Yueya saw that Cen Shen had galloped his horse and led a group of cavalry out of the middle of the array, using the shortest distance and fastest speed to rescue the sword and shield soldiers charging in the front row, while Zuo Zhishu organized a burst of artillery fire to block the speed of the Uighur cavalry.

No longer paying attention to the cold battlefield, she went down to find a place to sit down, quietly listening to the sound of fighting in the wind and sand, and the artillery fire that rang out from time to time.

As the cheers of the battlefield sounded, the sun had already set the desert horizon, and the war was over, Wu Yueya stood up, looked at the devastated battlefield, and sighed softly, Yumen Pass was recovered.
