What worries him is that Jiayu Pass, which still seems to be as impregnable as an iron tower, must be hiding a great conspiracy behind the enemy's mad attack, which Fielding is sure of, but what kind of conspiracy it is, he has no idea. Regardless of his speculation from all angles, there was still no result that was truly satisfactory to him.

The Fourth Division of the Northwest Army, which was rapidly advancing towards his territory, also made him feel quite difficult to deal with, and the Northwest Military and Political Temperance made Qin Dui's appetite very clear, although it seemed that the two sides had still maintained a peaceful coexistence in recent years, but he knew that the nominal boss in the west was thinking about how to really incorporate Taixuanfu into the palm of his hand all the time, and his subordinates were all loyal promoters of his policies from time to time, although Qin Duan had not yet answered the northwest, but even so. Will they be genuinely helping themselves? Or do you want to take the opportunity to take over the ruling power of Taixuan Mansion in one fell swoop?

Let them stand by outside the city, I am afraid that they will not be able to make such a decision, at least nominally, the Northwest Military and Political Envoy is still their direct boss, not to mention that they were ordered to come to reinforce themselves to ensure the stability of Taixuan Mansion. But if they were allowed into the city, what would happen to the Kamanites when they retreated? This is something that Fielding does not want to think about and dare not think, this is an almost unavoidable question, what should he do? Looking at the endless fertile fields under the city walls, Fielding was full of sorrow.

Receiving the letter from the speeding signal soldier, Miley's face changed slightly, "It's coming so fast." ”

"My lord, has anything changed?" The adjutant general who followed closely behind hurriedly asked.

"Hmph, Qin Duan has finally sent troops, and his Fourth Division of the Second Regiment of the Northwest Army has officially crossed the border and entered the Taixuan Mansion." A trace of worry flashed on Miley's ruddy face, "Zhuge Fang has also brought three main divisions to press over from Tokugawa to the east. It seems that they don't want our plan to be carried out. ”

"But the intelligence says that Qin Du has just left Yanjing City." The adjutant was a little surprised.

"Don't underestimate the guys under Qin Duan, they are not weak, and that Zhuge Fang is not a good person, it seems that our plan may not be able to fully achieve the goal." A sneer flashed across the corner of Miley's mouth, "You can't be a friend, and it tastes good to be an enemy." ”

The lieutenant general looked at the Duke staring ahead with a puzzled look on his face. I don't know what he meant by his two sentences.

Ignoring the adjutant general's face, Duke Miley decisively issued an order: "Order the first, second and thirty thousand troops to immediately speed up the progress, be sure to seize the high ground north of Taixuanfu City before the enemy reinforcements, pay attention to keep a distance from the enemy, and do not make casual contact." ”

The herald next to him recounted an accurate command before speeding away.

"Lord Duke, why did we take advantage of our cavalry superiority to attack the enemy's reinforcements first? The army of Taixuan Mansion does not dare to leave the city at all now, and we can use this opportunity to thwart the enemy's spirit first. The lieutenant looked at the coach in front of him in confusion, although he had great respect for Miley. But he couldn't help but ask.

"There are changes in the shape, I estimate that the enemy's garrison division in Meishan County will also go to Taixuan soon, although that unit is nominally a garrison division, but all of them are composed of Gao Yue barbarians, which are specifically aimed at cavalry, and they have been trained for a long time, and those two generals are not weak, our cavalry may not be able to have an advantage if they meet them."

Obviously, he has already studied the various departments under Qin Duan's command. Even the garrison is well understood, and not fighting uncertain battles is a military principle that Miley believes in. What's more, he has a more important reason that he didn't explain, according to the main goal of this battle is Jiayu Pass, as long as Jiayu Pass is taken, even if most of the task is completed, as for Taixuanfu City, it is good to be able to take it easily. But if the price is too great, Mai Li would rather give up, after all, if he masters Jiayu Pass, he can easily go south at will, whether it is Qin Du or the rest of the Great Qin Empire, this Taixuan Mansion is a burden, and it needs to be garrisoned to defend against the Kaman army that pounces down at any time.

In the long run. Mailey even hoped that Qin Dui could control Zhanì, so that he could contain at least three elite divisions of Qin Dui, which would be a great burden to Qin Dui, who was not very strong, and could also greatly reduce Qin Dui's ability to interfere in the upcoming outbreak of the Taipingjiao uprising in Kansai, which was also a good result for his own side.

Claudia stood on a small piece of high ground in front of the pass, calm as a mountain, her cold eyes staring at the front without any expression, the war had entered a white-hot state, and the twelve thousand troops of the two regiments had already taken turns except for the two thousand troops of the Royal Guards Regiment that had not yet been put into battle.

Now the offensive is launched by the 30,000 men of the Royal Guard, also a trump card in Claudia's hands. First of all, it was still the long-range strike weapons for early cover, accompanied by waves of arrows and boulders, followed by waves of golden soldiers rushing towards the city wall, the soldiers scattered into stragglers finally approached the city wall under the cover of huge cover, and the bulky siege vehicles were finally pushed in front of the city wall after several were destroyed by the giant stone throwers on the city wall.

In the face of these huge and heavy guys, the soldiers on the defending side were also prepared, although they were hit by dense boulders and arrows, but the soldiers also had to drill out of the defensive fortifications, risking their lives, and poured barrels of tung oil that had been prepared one after another on these behemoths, followed by rockets pouring out, from time to time soldiers fell, but one fell, the other immediately picked up, otherwise once these huge siege vehicles were all erected, the danger of the city being broken was quite great.

Although it was specially prepared for fire prevention, with the help of the extremely flammable tung oil, some siege vehicles soon ignited a raging fire, but this time was enough. Stepping on the stairs of the siege vehicle towering to the city wall, hundreds of soldiers chanted slogans and swarmed up, and in an instant, countless golden figures flashed on the city wall, Rao is Claudia knew that it was not so simple, and her body couldn't help but raise slightly.

Immediately after that, waves of enemy soldiers appeared at the head of the city, and suddenly the head of the city wall turned into a bloody Shura field. The soldiers who fell into madness knew that this was a battle of life and death, and there was nothing else to think about, only the figure of the opposing soldier, machetes, spears, giant axes, halberds, all kinds of weapons collided with each other, stumps and broken bodies, blood and flesh have become the most worthless things in the world, shouts, shouts, screams, muffled roars, this qiē played a vivid and cruel march of struggle.

Seeing that the golden figure on the head of the city gradually decreased until it disappeared, Claudia sighed softly and waved her hand to signal the herald to collect his troops. (To be continued......)
