The Anmen Fortress is said to be a fortress, but it is actually a large defensive belt that stretches for more than ten miles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIts function is of course to hold the mouth of the Bay of Pass, but the first point to achieve this goal is that it cannot be overcome, and the inability to moor large ships is certainly a disadvantage, but it can also make the enemy's large ships unable to approach, and the firepower of small and medium-sized ships is limited, and neither the attack ability nor the landing ability can reach a certain scale, so the defense of the Anmen fortress at sea is worse than the defense on land. Compared to the strategic location of this fortress, it is more likely that the enemy will land from other locations and then detour to the rear of the fortress to attack.

Since Anmen was a long and narrow peninsula, the defense of its southern part became the focus, and nearly half of the fort's forces were concentrated here. It was very difficult to capture this place without heavy siege equipment, so the garrison inside the fortress called this pass to the south "Lion's Mouth", which means that any enemy army that dared to attack it would be torn to pieces by the lion.

In the early morning of the third day of the attack of the Palch fleet, a force quietly touched under the city wall east of the lion's mouth, and they were the 500 commandos led by Li Tianhao.

Li Tianhao had been planning for a long time how to capture the Anmen fortress and defeat the Arubanian fleet, thus opening the gateway to Pas Bay, but it was only recently that he decided on a specific method to attack the Anmen fortress. The reason why he did not act with the Second Fleet was that from the very beginning he abandoned the plan to attack from the sea. Although the Palci fleet outnumbered and qualitatively outnumbered the Arubanian fleet, no matter how powerful the fleet was, it could not change the terrain of the Anmen fortress. If you can't get your infantry to land in time to attack, the soldiers who arrive one by one will be the best targets for the defenders. For this reason, Li Tianhao designed more than a dozen sets of battle plans, but he was not satisfied, until the appearance of Saudin brought him an important news - the lion is not invulnerable at the Lion's Pass.

Due to the terrain, there is a dangerous place on the east side of the Lion's Pass Pass, which is no different for the attacker, but it is a very important point for the defender. There was a steep slope on the slope of the hill, so the walls had to be built on the narrow ridge of the steep slope, otherwise they would have to be built around this steep slope, which would not only be much more expensive, but would also make it a target for the besieging side to concentrate their forces. As a result, the city wall was built on top of the ridge, but the problem also arose that this section of the wall was thinner than the rest of the city, and the passage at the top of the wall was relatively narrow, so it was not easy for the defenders to deploy their forces. In addition, there is the problem that it is divided by this steep slope, and it is very inconvenient for the troops on the east and west sides to rush to each other's aid.

Li Tianhao, who got the news, immediately asked Saudin to draw a detailed map, and after careful study, he established the current plan. He sent the Second Fleet with 10,000 reinforcements from Palchi into a wasteland six hundred miles from Anmen, where there were no Arubanian sentinels and no people. Then Li Tianhao led more than 10,000 people deep into the desert and rushed to the Anmen fortress in fifteen days, along the way they completely annihilated four enemy posts at lightning speed, thus achieving the suddenness of the attack.

was able to launch a surprise attack without the Arubanian Army completely unknowing, in addition to Li Tianhao's own excellent command ability, the biggest hero was Saudin as a guide.

Having said that, the suddenness of the attack was achieved, but it was not easy to capture the Lion's Pass because the defenders here were quite numerous, and the level of security was never low. In order to be able to carry out the siege smoothly, Li Tianhao carefully selected 500 elite infantry as the first commando, and brought two of his most trusted assistants, Alam and Eglius. Don't look at the trio of Alam, Eglius and Senas who have made countless big and small farces since they went to sea, but they are the most trustworthy generals on the battlefield.

At this time, the two of them followed Li Tianhao closely and quietly approached the city wall. Under the cover of night, the defenders of the city still did not find any trace of these men until they were within range of the bow and arrow. At this time, Li Tianhao stayed in place with fifty crossbowmen to guard, and Alam and Eglius each led two hundred soldiers to touch the city wall.

As soon as the two of them gave an order, dozens of flying catchers flew up to the city. Led by Alam and Eglius, the soldiers began to climb to the top of the city walls at a rapid pace.

Although the movements of the men were as light as possible, they caught the attention of several Arubanian soldiers. It's just that these soldiers who can't do it just poked their heads out of the city wall to look out, and they were pierced through the heads by the arrows of Li Tianhao and those crossbowmen.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The first Arubanian soldier to make this sound was immediately beheaded by Alam, and by this time more than two dozen soldiers had climbed the wall.

The Arubanian soldiers reacted very quickly, which also shows that they are not lazy in training. They quickly formed a formation and began to counterattack the Palci army who had ascended to the top of the city.

Unfortunately, they were faced with the toughest soldiers and two of the fiercest young generals in the entire Palchi army, and Aram's sword was lightning fast, and every flash cost the life of an Arubanian soldier; Eglius' iron rod spun like a windmill and swept towards the enemy, and was either killed or wounded by his iron rod. With these two ruthless characters opening the way, and the brave soldiers behind them, the counterattack of the Arubanian soldiers was not to hold down their opponents, but to force them to retreat. At this time, the sound of breaking the wind under the city also sounded one after another, and the crossbowmen in charge of covering continued to fire arrows to consume the lives of the Arubanian soldiers, especially Li Tianhao, who was even more missile, when he shot all the two pots of arrows he carried, sixty Arubanian soldiers had died under his hands. Meanwhile, Alam and Eglius had pushed the front to the end of that steep slope.

At this time, the follow-up troops of the Palci army, led by Senas, arrived as scheduled, and they rushed to the city walls, and then began to ascend the city with all the equipment they had prepared.

As more and more Palchi troops climbed the walls, the Arubanian army gradually became unsupportable, and although they numbered as many as 5,000 men on this front, they could not spread out on this narrow wall, and the possibility of mobilizing troops to attack on two lines became more difficult as the enemy army climbed more and more on the wall. To make matters worse, Palci was also superior in the strength of the men on both sides, and resistance became more and more difficult.

By the time the sun had fully risen, half of the walls of the Lion's Pass had fallen into the hands of the Palci army. (To be continued.) )
