Xue Wancheng led three thousand elites, all of whom were selected from thousands of troops, most of whom had worked as hunters, woodcutters, butchers, etc., all of them were strong and strong, and they were agile, and they were good at walking through the jungle, tracking, and concealing.

In addition, there are a hundred special combat team personnel, which is the presence of special forces in the army, the training is complicated, and today it is put to use, and they are exploring the way in front.

The road of Pipa Gorge is rugged, the mountains and forests are dense, tigers, leopards, snakes and ants are rampant, you need to climb rock cliffs, cross suspension bridges, march in valley paths or sheep intestine paths, and there are people who fall off cliffs at every turn, or are attacked by poisonous snakes and die of poison.

The special operations team members swung their swords and cut off rattans and thorn grass, and marched with difficulty.

After the mountain canyon, a steep cliff was in front of him, Xue Wanqian sent several good rock climbers to climb to the top of the mountain with bare hands, and in the end there were only one or two people who succeeded, and the rest of them fell off the cliff and died.

Behind the cliff, there are thousands of cliffs, the cliffs are steep, and the bottom is not visible, but fortunately, the army brought enough ropes, and released a few kilometers of ropes downward, and then everyone began to slide down to the bottom of the valley.

Three days later, this team walked out of the vast mountains, leaving only more than 2,500 people, ragged, unkempt, very embarrassed, but the faces of the soldiers showed excitement, and finally came out.

"Repair the spot for five hours, sleep, eat, change clothes, bathe, scout patrol, and forbid all living people to come forward." Xue Wanqian asked the scouts to go out to guard several miles away, and the rest rested to replenish their physical strength, and then hurried at night, approaching the mountain defense line of the Xiliang army.

........

The next day, the northwest Sui army began to storm the defensive line of Tulou Mountain, the mountain fortress is steep, the city wall is like a long dragon lying on the mountain, extending out from north to south, depending on the mountain, it is like a simplified version of the ancient Great Wall.

Relying on the superiority of strong crossbows and whirlwind cannons, the Sui army bombarded the mountain city earthen forts, and some clay pots filled with combustibles, with fireballs, dragged thick smoke, and smashed over the sky.

Falling into the walls and passes, it burns brightly, bringing a certain amount of lethality to the defenders.

Thousands of powerful crossbows, extremely powerful, slammed towards the city, suppressing a certain counterattack.

When it was time to charge, the thunder drums were bursting, the horns were all in the same name, and two waves of men and horses took turns to attack the pass of the city pass, as well as the city walls on both sides, the battle shook the sky, the blood was filled, and a wave of Boshi soldiers fell, and it was still difficult to shake the Xiongguan defense line of Tulou Mountain.

Li Yun and his generals hid on a high wall behind him to watch the battle, looked down, and saw that although the Sui army was brave, it was never able to cross the mountain wall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth showed a mocking sneer.

"Tulou Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Luo Chengcheng has great ability, and he doesn't want to take a step across the thunder pool." Li Yun decided that the enemy army could not be attacked.

A lieutenant hugged his fists and said: "General, this kind of defense line has defended the Tuyuhun people for a hundred years, and it has never been broken, although Luo Cheng's fame is loud, but the time is not as good as the location, he is here, and it is difficult to gain anything." ”

Li Yun nodded, and said in a firm tone: "We will stick to the barrier and not come out, see who consumes whom, their strength is only thirty or forty thousand, within half a month, the strength of the army has been reduced by more than half, Luo Chengcheng will give up and retreat." ”

.........

In the Northwest Plateau, the night sky in July is as clear as a wash, the cold stars are dotted, and the undulating outline of the continuous peaks and peaks is almost connected with the night sky, magnificent and beautiful.

Luo Zhaoyun put on his armor tonight and is going to lead the army to battle.

The date agreed with Xue Wancheng is tonight, and he has already sent people to complete the deployment, just waiting for the inside and the outside to join forces and forcibly seize the Tulou Pass.

Even if there is a strategy, there will be a fierce battle at night, and Luo Zhaoyun will personally go into battle to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Dressed in silver chain mail, wearing a sharp sword at his waist, and eating a spear made of mixed iron in his hand, the spear blade is even more integrated into the meteorite cold iron, sharpening the iron like mud, extremely sharp.

Luo Zhaoyun strode out of the account, and there were already rows of generals, captains, captains, and centurions of the Chinese army, waiting to be dispatched.

"Let's go!"

There was not much light in the camp, and because it was a covert operation, there were fewer torches and lanterns than usual, and there were enough people to move out in batches.

And Hou Junji, Guo Xiaoke, Cheng Mingzhen, Zhou Zhongyin and others also led their troops to the location of their sneak attack at night.

Next, each team waited patiently for the signal in the city pass, and the key to the success of the city capture was the surprise soldiers who attacked inside.

Halfway through the night, the cool breeze blew away the heat of the summer heat accumulated for the day, and the defenders fought for most of the day, the first half of the night was hot, the second half of the night was cool, except for duty, most of the soldiers fell asleep.

Suddenly, a rocket shot up into the sky, and then several fires lit up, and the tents, weeds, and trees on the mountain were set on fire, and they burned brightly, illuminating the northern camp.

Because Dadu Que did not understand the art of war, according to the habits of the grassland, he did not pay attention to the defensive vigilance, and when he was attacked, the defenders at the head of the city and the patrol of the camp did not have much, which was convenient for Xue Wanqian to lead the troops to slaughter.

Ning Wufei led hundreds of people to kill and injure the head of the city, and wanted to seize control of the defense line of the city wall on the north side.

Xue Wancheng led people to rush through a corner of the camp, and then directly killed the city, to open the city gate, and let the ambush reinforcements outside enter the pass.

"Cooperate with the action-" Hou Junji and Cheng Mingzhen ordered respectively, and the soldiers who had already lurked in the upper city, covered by grass clothes, stood up at this time, with a rope crossbow machine in their hands, shot crossbow arrows, set the ropes, and then the first group of people began to climb the city wall.

Since the city was already in turmoil, their wall-climbing operations suffered much less resistance to counterattacks than during the day.

The hand-to-hand intersects, the fight is fierce, Xue Wancheng is holding a horse lance, extremely brave, as soon as he makes a move, someone is smashed in the head by him, or stabbed to death on the ground, charging with elite soldiers.

Some people were cut off their heads, spurting blood like pillars, and some people were cut off their hands and feet, curled up on the ground in pain, howling and screaming.

Blood was sprayed everywhere, corpses and limbs were broken everywhere, and the silence in the mountain city was broken and replaced by scalp-tingling screams.

"Kill—"

Xue Wanren was brave and fierce, with the spirit of ten thousand enemies, and the soldiers who followed behind him were all in high spirits, and they followed the battle desperately, tearing open the defense line of the thousand-man team, and finally arrived at the city gate.

This is the fiercest hand-to-hand combat, and both sides are red-eyed and will not give an inch.

After a period of bloody killing, Xue Wanqian had already hung up his colors, and there were a few more cuts on his body, but it did not affect his fighting, but added a bit of blood and bravery, as if possessed by a killing god, his hair was messy, and it was stained with the blood of the enemy.

Finally, the city gate was opened, and Guo Xiaoke led his troops to kill, and the inside and outside should be combined, making Tulou Mountain City break a gap.

"Thank you Brother Xue, next, it's time for us to make a move." Guo Xiaoke led a cavalry team on a rampage and entered the city pass, and reinforcements from outside continued to pour in to resist the defenders' counterattack.

After a while, Luo Zhaoyun personally arrived with the Yanjia Army, and with a finger of the long soldiers, he was invincible, and won the dangerous pass, just on this night.
