Chapter 28: The Green Dragon Begins to Knock

It is said that the soldiers of the city defense army, according to the general's orders, went to the major commercial houses to borrow grain, but the major commercial houses were a little reluctant, saying that there is not much grain in stock, and the funds are tight, so they can only borrow as much as they want, and the amount they say is not enough to stuff the teeth of the 30,000 army, which is obviously the rhythm of robbing while the fire is burning.

The soldiers of Wu Suicheng had already suffered defeat, and the fire in their stomachs was not sprinkled, and when they saw the faces of these "profiteers", they were immediately furious, and a little leader with a hot temper was about to draw his sword against him.

The hero does not suffer immediate losses, and the person in charge of the business bank is not a fool, he just wants to seek more benefits.

In the end, the Wu Sui City Defense Army borrowed grain from the major commercial houses, which was basically the case, half borrowed and half robbed, although it did not cause fierce conflicts, but the impact caused everywhere was extremely bad, especially in stark contrast to the previous Great Yan Army.

Therefore, in the hearts of the people of Wu Sui, there is inexplicably more expectation and a trace of yearning for the Great Yan Army, can the Great Yan Army really return peace to the people? Such an idea sprouted in the hearts of the people of Wusui and began to spread among the people of Tianchu.

The Flame Army, after withdrawing from Wusui City, first went to the direction of the Tiger Prison, ran for dozens of miles and then suddenly turned around, and went to the southwest, although there were 10,000 horsemen, but they were well-trained, their actions were more secretive, and they were far away from the main city, and they also tried to avoid some larger counties and counties, and the supplies in the march were generally selected to enter some towns and towns after they disguised themselves as caravans, and tried not to attract too much attention.

underground, there are two major forces, the Yanyu Building and the Photo Studio, to provide intelligence assistance;

In the sky, there are well-trained swifts to pass on the book.

In the territory of Tianchu, thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, let it gallop. Sneaking all the way, the Flame Army roamed the Tianchu Dynasty like a ghost.

But the army crossed the border, did not disturb the people, did not attack the city, and for a while, even the soldiers of the Flame Army did not know what to do behind enemy lines. But their trust in Qin Tian is absolute, even if they don't understand where they are going, as long as they have the order of the War King, it is enough. All they have to do is do what they are told.

On the eighteenth day after the loss of the Tiger Pass, the Blue Dragon Legion, 300,000 horses, finally arrived at the Tiger Pass. Although the king of Chu ordered to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass, there was a saying that the general would not be subject to the orders of the kings outside.

Hu Yanlie, the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion, is also a veteran of the battlefield, so naturally he will not be as reckless as Xiang Tianxiao, how can he take down the army of the Tiger Prison Pass?

Therefore, he chose to advance with the whole army, rather than the cavalry first and disperse the troops. As the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion, although he rarely goes out in person, this Tiger Prison Pass, this is not the first time he has come, but he didn't expect that this time when he came to the Tiger Prison Pass, what he saw was the Great Yan Army flag fluttering above the city, and he was also full of emotion for a while.

Looking at this Xiongguan that Tianchu has been operating for hundreds of years, coach Hu Yanlie is also at a loss, this is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although he has 300,000 elite soldiers in hand, if he wants to win this Xiongguan, his chances of winning are slim.

But cowardice before fighting is not the style of the old marshal Huyanlie. There is no hurry to attack the city, twenty miles below the city pass, the army is encamped in an orderly manner, according to the horses, trenches and other defense facilities are built simultaneously, the sentry posts are numerous, they are scattered, and the camp layout is extremely exquisite. At first glance, it is everyone's demeanor, and it is by no means comparable to a stunned boy like Xiang Tianxiao.

It was night, in the camp, people did not undress, horses did not unsaddle, the sentry took shifts every hour, and the patrol duty was continuous, which can be described as extremely guarded.

After all, when the first time I arrived, it was when the people were sleepy and the camp wall was not erected, it was a good time for the enemy to wait for work and raid the camp, so Hu Yanlie attached great importance to the defense in the first few days. Fortunately, the night was safe, and the gate of the Great Yan Army was closed, and there was no movement.

On the second day, Marshal Huyanlie still did not launch an offensive, and the army was still building fortifications with all its might, and it seemed that it was going to prepare for a protracted war.

Until the third day, the battalion of the Blue Dragon Legion was basically stable, and the soldiers were ready for battle early in the morning with a fire and breakfast in the camp. With the rumbling sound of war drums, the attack of the Blue Dragon Legion began.

When the two armies are fighting, morale is extremely important, and the challenge of the generals is extremely effective in boosting morale, so Marshal Hu Yanlie is no exception, first sent his fierce general Liao Wushuang to the city to challenge.

However, no matter how insulting and provocative he was, the Great Yan Army just kept his door closed. After a battle drum, Marshal Hu Yanlie saw that the enemy army had no intention of going to war at all, so he did not continue to challenge, after all, once the war drum came down, the enemy did not dare to fight, and his own morale was already inspired, if he could not fight in time and continue to wait like this, his morale might fall again.

At the sound of an order, 20,000 infantrymen raised their heavy shields and launched the first wave of charge; Twenty thousand strong archers under the guard of 10,000 heavy infantry followed, and as soon as they came up, they threw in an army of 50,000. The war drums shook the sky, the voices of the people were boiling, and the scene was grand and spectacular.

Above the head of the Tiger Prison Pass, fifty siege crossbows were launched, and fifty crossbow arrows the size of spears roared out, and the momentum sank, and where they passed, the heavy shield penetrated through the body, and its momentum was unabated, and it only after penetrating three or four Tianchu soldiers in a row did it stop the impact.

A volley left the corpses of fifty strings of soldiers in the Tianchu army. Kill with one blow, and never survive. Although there were only fifty oversized crossbow arrows in a salvo, the shocking effect was undoubted. The old marshal Hu Yanlie was also the first time to see such a powerful crossbow arrow, and he was used to seeing life and death, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping, the power of the super large crossbow arrow was too ferocious.

The Tianchu soldiers who were charging were also extremely afraid of these oversized crossbow arrows, but they were about to die, so they didn't dare to disobey, so they could only continue to rush forward. "Huh, huh, huh, huh、、、" super-large crossbow arrows are still harvesting the lives of Tianchu soldiers.

One thousand fourteen hundred steps, one thousand three hundred steps、、、, seven hundred steps, six hundred steps, five hundred steps, the Tiger Prison Pass City is close at hand, "Hum, hum, hum, hum," A strange and hidden voice quietly sounded, and the Tianchu soldiers in the charge did not pay attention to the slight sound, but felt that as soon as the sky darkened, they found that the rain of arrows fell from the sky, dense and continuous, far from the wave after wave like conventional bow and crossbow shooting. At this time, the rain of arrows felt like it didn't stop, and it was extremely fast and continuous.

Ordinary crossbowmen and Tiangong crossbows work together to form an uninterrupted and rapid firepower output. For a time, the casualties of the Tianchu army increased sharply, and although the crossbow arrows within 500 steps could not penetrate the heavy shield, the victory was continuous, and the lethality was also extremely strong.

The Tianchu heavy infantry had already rushed to the vicinity of the city wall, and the Chong chariot had already launched a fierce impact on the heavy city gate, and all kinds of ladders, ropes, and the like also began to throw towards the city wall, and the strong archers who followed closely behind also launched a crazy counterattack. Arrows are like flying locusts, overwhelmingly falling towards the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, although the Great Yan Army has also arranged protective measures, but for a time there were countless casualties.
