392 Raid
After capturing Tianjing Pass, the next thing the church army had to face was Shangdang Pass.
However, Gao Xiang, the guard general of the party pass, was Ju Yi's deployment in the past, and the reason why Gao Xiang sat in the current position was completely pulled up by Ju Yi. The relationship between the two is quite similar to that of master and apprentice.
With such a relationship, Gao Xiang naturally would not go against Ju Yi, and after learning that he had switched to the church, he didn't think about it, and took the initiative to surrender.
The army of the church won two levels in a row without a single soldier. In the face of such a good achievement, Luan Yi couldn't help but secretly rejoice, it was really a correct choice to make a bet with Ju Yi in the past, if he didn't fight with Ju Yi, there would be a bloody battle in Tianjing Pass, and after the end of the battle, Gao Xiang was still waiting.
How can it be as smooth as now, and the road is smooth!
On the opposite side of Luan Yi, the senior cadres stationed at Hukou Pass learned that Luan Yi easily won the patio and the party two passes, and he was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters, and he scolded Ju Yi for being a treacherous villain.
As the state of the state, Jinyang is the nest of high-level cadres. Hearing that there was a fire in the backyard, Gao Gan was anxious again. I had to pay attention to the henchman general Xian Yu guarding the gate of Hukou Pass, and personally brought the army back to the division to rescue.
It is said that this Xian Yufu's background is quite similar to Xi Zhicai, and he was convicted of being framed when he was a teenager, so he changed his double-character name, and his surname Xian Yufu showed that he was guilty. After being assigned to Bingzhou, he sought an opportunity to join the official army, and fought with the Hu people on the front line of the grassland all the year round, with outstanding achievements.
It's just that in comparison, Ju Yi is more like a Confucian general and a wise general, and Xian Yufu is really known for his martial arts, plus he was pulled up by a senior cadre, his loyalty is absolutely trustworthy, and he will not surrender without a fight like Ju Yi. Therefore, it is most reassuring to hand over the spout of the pot to him.
Hukou Pass, also known as Hukou Pass, is one of the oldest passes in the Han Dynasty, its history can be traced back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it is named because of the steep mountain shape like Hukou. However, in Luan Yi's view, the topography of Hukou Pass is more like a "concave" word, the pass is located in the position of "concave" recess, the bulge on both sides is a high mountain, and the mountain is full of arrow towers, which can shoot arrow rain from the enemy army attacking the pass like the mountain down.
At the end of the hill, there were many wooden and stone objects bound to the high city wall, and once the hemp rope was cut with a steel knife, the weight in the net would pour out and roll towards the enemy who rushed to kill him.
Luan Yi once felt that Hukou Pass was much more difficult to attack than Tiger Prison Pass. The tiger prison is strong in the high and thick wall, and the pot pass is strong in the steep terrain. The arrow towers on the peaks on both sides made it impossible for the Church Army's thunderbolts to throw stone projectiles against the wall, and the ramp in front of the pass with rolling logs and stones would cause heavy casualties to frontal attacks.
Such a pass defense, even Luan Yi was frightened, and it would definitely not work to attack strongly, outwitting ...... Xian Yufu is very cautious, and will not be easily tricked, and the plan for today can only be clever.
On the night of the arrival of the church army at Hukou Pass, 400 heavily armed special combat personnel dressed in black armor gathered in front of the camp, and after praying and swearing together under the guidance of Luan Yi, they were led by Hercules and Wang Yue, and took advantage of the night to leave the camp and sneak straight to the mountain corners on the east and west sides of Hukou Pass.
That night, the night was dark, and the moonlight was shrouded in dark clouds, and I couldn't see my fingers. The Xian Yu auxiliary army guards who were responsible for guarding the mountain peaks always felt that the direction of the main attack of the church soldiers and horses should be in the pass, not the mountain with cliffs, and they were slack, and the church agents were all wearing black light armor and stepping on thin-soled fast boots, so they couldn't find it if they didn't look carefully and listen.
The special combat team members assembled at the bottom of the cliff without much effort, and then with the gestures of Hercules and Wang Yue, more than 20 people who were good at climbing grabbed the bulge on the cliff and climbed to the top of the cliff more than 30 zhang high.
The cliffs outside Huguan are very steep. In addition, in order to prevent the church from attacking the idea of the peaks on both sides, Xian Yufu, who led the soldiers cautiously, also deliberately painted oil stains on the key positions of the cliff, which further increased the difficulty of climbing. The special combat personnel in charge of climbing the rock almost fell off the cliff several times, but fortunately, they were trained well on weekdays, and only then did they save the day from danger three times.
At this time, they really understood why Hercules and Wang Yue trained themselves so hard, and finally understood why the two lords treated them so harshly. They understood the essence of the master's sentence "sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime". If you hadn't experienced those hardships, I was afraid that I had become a lonely ghost under the cliff at this time, and I would just die, and the sound would wake up the enemies on the cliff and cause a rain of arrows to kill my robe.
But...... Although they overcame the threat of death, the speed of their crawl was much slower than expected due to the steepness of the cliffs and the fact that they were covered with oil stains. At this rate, it is estimated that the sky is dawn at the top of the cliff.
Without the protection of the night, the raid will fail.
Thinking of this, both the special combat team members who climbed on the cliff and the members who were waiting at the bottom of the cliff were all very anxious.
As a special combat member of the church army, he received five times the salary of ordinary guards, which was the highest salary in the whole army, and the diet ratio was obviously stronger than that of others. In the past days, many generals in the army have doubts about this, and have suggested to Luan Yi more than once that the military consumption of the special combat team is too large, and it is better to abolish it, so that it can raise five times as many guards, which is more cost-effective.
For such a suggestion, Luan Yi directly refused.
There are also sergeants and soldiers who are very envious of the high standards of the special combat team, and praise them with a pure heart, "The special combat team does not need to fight, and it is really blessed to receive so much military salary!" ”
However, it is very uncomfortable to hear such praise on the ears of the special combat personnel. Oh, yes! The Sect Master values himself so much, and what about himself! In the past wars, the church army has won many battles, and there is no chance to send them to fight at all, so they can only wait and wait, becoming the spokesperson for mixed food.
The special combat team members asked Hercules and Wang Yue to fight several times, and Hercules and Wang Yue reported Luan Yi of the situation of the team's thirst for battle several times. Luan Yi always laughed, took time to come to the special operations camp, and guided the team members to talk about "good steel is used on the blade" and "raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while".
After hearing these words, Hercules, Wang Yue, and the anxious hearts of the special combat team members calmed down.
"Good steel is used on the edge of the knife", now is the time to use steel......
Therefore, from the beginning of climbing the cliff outside Hukou Pass, the special combat team members held their breath, wanting to prove themselves and prove that they were the most powerful elite in the church army, and a human weapon more powerful than gunpowder.
With this belief, they risked their lives to speed up the climb, and in a round of battles with death and thrills, the first climber miraculously reached the edge of the summit half an hour before dawn. He stepped on a bulge on the edge of the cliff, first put his left hand on the mountain platform, and with his right hand, he took out something similar to a submarine periscope from his lower waist, and began to spy on the patrol of the guards on the cliff with the help of the refraction principle of the curved prism.
The torches in the dark night are like beacons that guide the way, exposing the position of the guards on the top of the mountain at a glance, and there are only more than a dozen people in detail, and the distribution is very sparse. The rest of the soldiers either gathered around the campfire to chat or slept in the open top. This confirms the guards' unguarded suspicions.
Seeing a guard five paces away looking towards him, the climbing special combat team member was startled, and after thinking about it, he remembered that he was holding an observation device in his hand, and the other side couldn't find him at all, so he immediately laughed at himself.
Motionless and watching the guard turn around, the special operator knew that his opportunity had come. Quickly retracted the periscope back to his waist, kicked his legs, and quietly climbed onto the top of the cliff with both hands, quickly took off the short crossbow behind his back, and shot out of the middle of the guard's neck, and the front neck went into the back of the neck, and the guard didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground with black eyes.
At the same time, the rest of the climbers climbed to the top of the mountain one after another, either with hidden weapons or with grappling techniques...... Exhaust the invisible method of killing. In an instant, all the mountain guards were knocked down silently.
After pretending to be safe with cicadas, they gathered on the edge of the cliff and threw the rope ladder trapped on their shoulders to the bottom of the cliff.
The rest of the special combat team members climbed the cliff one after another by rope ladder, and it was at this point that they discovered that the steep cliff was smeared with oil mud, so they knew what difficulties their teammates had overcome when climbing the rock.
With a sense of awe, the two hundred special combat members climbed to the top of the mountain one after another, Hercules pulled out the giant axe behind him, Wang Yue drew his sword, and under the gray moonlight, he hunched his waist and leaned towards the camp in the mountain of Xian Yu's auxiliary army.
Pity those guards, where did they think that the steep cliff could climb up people, and the guards who were chatting by the campfire were chatting happily, but they saw a black shadow coming out behind the robe on the opposite side, and at first it was the shadow of a person, and he was looking at the pupils of the human figure, which was more like a ghost. The guard was startled, his eyes widened, and he was so stunned that he couldn't speak, and then he looked closely, where was the ghost, and it was clearly an enemy in black armor. As soon as he wanted to say a word to remind, he saw a cold light probing into the Adam's apple of Paoze, and his face was full of blood splashed, and there were some of him and some of Paoze. At the last moment of death, he found that the face of the robe on the other side was full of shock as he was, and then the last trace of his life looked back, and there was also a black-clothed armor soldier standing behind him.
The black-clad soldier left his corpse behind and silently moved to another bonfire, while the robe who was squatting around the campfire was still chatting to himself, and from time to time he let out a burst of laughter. Little did he know that death was about to befall him.
Killing, brutal killing.
The 800 Xianyu auxiliary army guards stationed on both sides of the cliff were almost all killed in just over half an hour, and at least a few of them escaped from Ascension to Heaven and jumped down the mountain along the mountain road on the inner side of Hukou Pass, reporting the loss of the hill to Xian Yufu.
