Chapter 62: Conspiracy (1)

On the third day of the siege battle, the size and number of barbarian troops engaged in the siege reached a new peak, but the number of defenders at Shouyang Pass was sharply reduced. At ten o'clock at noon, the gate of Shouyang Pass was smashed open by a battering ram, and the vanguard of the barbarian army entered the city, and Hua Hu, the general who defended the city, led the army to resist. Two hours later, the eldest son of Xiao led 10,000 Xiao cavalry to arrive, and the battle lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, when the Xiao army regained control of the city gate and drove the barbarian army out of Shouyang Pass.

"If this is not the battlefield of the decisive battle, it is only a matter of time before the city of Shouyang Pass is broken, and it is superfluous for you to lead the army to help." Nangong Bai and Lei Ting walked side by side on the city wall to inspect the city defense.

"No way, most of the troops of the Xiao Kingdom are on the side of the Heavenly Wolf Pass, my father only transferred me and my brother Xiao back, and these 10,000 Xiao cavalry were brought over by the defenders of the two cities that I emptied one after another, and it can be delayed for a day, waiting for my father to return to the army." Thunder said.

"The barbarian army is in full swing, not to mention that now they have 200,000 iron cavalry, even only 50,000 is enough to break the city, if you want to break the barbarian army, you can only let the Shouyang Pass and let the barbarian army enter the pass, and only by scattering them on the long front in Zhongzhou can they be annihilated one by one."

Thunder stopped and looked at the barbarian army outside the pass, "If the barbarians enter the pass, my country will bear the brunt." We only recovered to its peak in the last ten years of the Tatarqin era, and after the barbarian army entered the customs, then our country would lose the strength to compete for hegemony with the Zhongzhou countries in the next few decades. The sky was overcast again, or rain and snow were coming, Nangong Bai smiled bitterly behind the thunder.

"Maybe Brother Xiao won't care too much about these things, but I can't", Lei Ting paused, "So I must weaken the strength of the barbarian army to the greatest extent here, please teach me." ”

Nangong Bai was stunned for a moment, and Lei Ting had already turned around and bowed to him.

In the temporary meeting hall of Shouyang Pass, Lei Ting, Hua Hu, Nangong Bai, Lei Xiao and Bai Lang gathered together.

"No, I don't agree, it's too dangerous!" Lei Xiao immediately stood up and refuted after hearing Nangong Bai's plan, in fact, since Nangong Bai helped the defenders destroy the barbarian army, Lei Xiao's opinion of him has changed greatly, but when Nangong Bai said his plan, Lei Xiao still couldn't agree.

Hua Hu glanced at Bai Lang, he didn't know who Bai Lang was, but Lei Ting and Lei Xiao didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask much, but Hua Hu was still not at ease when such an important task was handed over to this young man.

"Why don't I go myself?" Hua Hu took the initiative to ask.

"General Hua Hu is responsible for defending the city, how can he leave without permission." It was thunder that spoke.

"Yes, eldest son."

"Isn't this strategy too simple, will that Huttar be fooled?" Lei Xiao asked again.

"There are only two kinds of people who will be fooled by this simple scheme, the simple-minded reckless man and the treacherous and suspicious old fox, and Hu Tatar is the latter." Nangong Bai looked calm and relaxed.

Barbarian battalion.

"Big leader, the Zhongzhou army sent an envoy to come and issue a war letter." A barbarian guard entered the Chinese army's tent and said.

"Oh? Invite him in. ”

After a while, the envoy of Shouyang Pass had already entered the big tent, and it was Bai Lang. Bai Lang held the battle book in both hands, and after entering the tent, he took a deep look at Bai Yan, and Bai Yan also stared at Bai Lang intently. All this naturally fell into the eyes of Hutar.

"Shouyang Pass's envoy Bai Langte came to submit the war letter to the barbarian chieftain, Xiao Guo's eldest son Lei Ting and the general Hua Hu hope that the big leader will retreat twenty miles, and the Xiao cavalry will go out of the city and fight with the barbarian iron cavalry in the northern plain of Shouyang Mountain, and the first battle will determine the ownership of Shouyang Pass." Bai Lang handed over the battle book.

If this is true, there is no doubt that it is great news for the barbarian army, the barbarian iron cavalry is good at charging into battle, siege warfare is not its forte, if it can win or lose in a battle, it would be great.

"Hmph, the Zhongzhou army is at the end of the crossbow, my army will break the city tomorrow, come and drag this envoy out and cut it down." Hu Tatar said fiercely.
