Chapter 60: The Battle of Shouyang Pass (5)

On the first day of the siege battle, the barbarian army attacked the wall of Shouyang Pass, which gave them great encouragement, and it was obviously impossible for the Zhongzhou army to try to block the barbarian iron cavalry of nearly 200,000 with less than 10,000 people with the tall city pass. Under normal circumstances, within five days, the Shouyang Pass will be broken.

The next day, just after dawn, the trumpet of the barbarians was sounded. Compared with the first day, the number and speed of the barbarian army were much higher, and the tall wells were particularly conspicuous in the ranks of the barbarian army.

"Today, the barbarian army's well must be destroyed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Hua Hu stood at the head of the city, directing the defenders to prepare for battle.

"I'll go." Lei Xiao turned around and wanted to leave the city.

"Wait." Nangong Bai grabbed Lei Xiao, "General Huahu, can you listen to me." ”

Outside Shouyang Pass.

The barbarian general Tie Ye is commanding the battle, the barbarian leader Hu Tatar is sitting under the umbrella tent at the rear of the army, and the barbarian prince Hu Xie is standing on the side.

"Evil son, do you see if this Hua Hu will lead the army out of the city today." Hu Tatar looked at Chengguan from afar and asked Hu Xie on the side.

"Father, if the defenders in the pass are still holding on like yesterday, the casualties will be even heavier than yesterday, and the city will be broken tomorrow at the latest."

"Oh? Tell me, what will the defenders do? ”

"If I were the general defending the city of Shouyang Pass, I would definitely take a group of elite cavalry out of the city before the siege army approached and destroy the well that posed the greatest threat to the defending army." Hu Xie replied truthfully.

Huttar stared in the direction of the city gates, "They're out of the city." ”

The city gate slowly opened, and when the first horse galloped out, the young military general held a spear, followed closely by the elite troops of the Xiao country, the Xiao cavalry, and went straight to the well of the barbarian army.

It was exactly the same as Hu Xie expected.

Hu Xie shook the city-breaking gun in his hand, "Father." ”

"Go ahead, that kid is a good hand." Hu Tar nodded slightly.

Hu Xie turned over and got on the horse, and Bai Yan and Meteor Frost also got on the horse, Bai Yan originally wanted to stay out of the matter and was unwilling to help the barbarians attack Shouyang Pass, but Hu Xie left, he really didn't want to face Hu Tar alone. So he gladly fulfilled his obligation as a companion and followed Hu Xie to fight, and when the time came, he would immediately stand aside and not interfere.

Lei Xiao led the cavalry like a bamboo, and the barbarian army attacking the city was all foot soldiers, and he couldn't compete with the cavalry ranked first in Zhongzhou, and Lei Xiao didn't take much effort to kill in front of the well. There are pulleys installed under the shaft, and as long as the pulleys are destroyed, the shaft will not be able to move forward.

Lei Xiao saw that he was about to rush to the front of Jing Yan, Hu Xie killed him from the thorn oblique, and Lei Xiao had no choice but to give up Jing Qi to fight Hu Xie. The Xiao cavalry behind Lei Xiao followed, and killed the surrounding barbarian soldiers.

In the distance, Iron Leaf waved the order flag, and the vanguard of the siege army moved closer to the well to support the prince and protect the well.

The fierce battle was in full swing here, and the city gate of Shouyang Pass in the distance opened again, and Hua Hu rushed out first, followed by a team of cavalry, and the city gate was quickly closed. Hua Hu did not come to support Lei Xiao as expected, but rushed straight to the barbarian army carrying the ladder, Hua Amber was fast, and before the barbarian army could react, he rushed over and cut off one of the ladders with a knife. Since most of the vanguard of the barbarian army had been sent over to support Jingqi, there were relatively few barbarian troops guarding the ladders, and in the blink of an eye, Hua Hu and the cavalry had destroyed four ladders.

At this time, the barbarian generals all reacted, the purpose of the Zhongzhou army at the beginning was not the well, but the ladder, if the ladder was all destroyed, the barbarian army would not be able to climb the city wall at all, and the bow and arrow suppression of the wells would be impossible to talk about, and at the beginning Lei Xiao led the army to attack the wells was simply a pretense.

At this time, Lei Xiao, who was fighting fiercely with Hu Xie, abandoned Hu Xie and led Xiao cavalry to rush to the cloud ladder troops of the barbarian army, which confirmed the speculation of the barbarian generals. So Tie Ye ordered again to protect the ladder troops at all costs, and the barbarian army on the field turned to the ladder troops to move, and even Hu Xie gave up the well to chase Lei Xiao.

Hu Tatar, who was in the rear of the army, took all the changes into his eyes, and when he saw that there were basically no troops to protect him next to Jing Yan, he shouted "not good" and stood up in shock, he just wanted to order the deputy general around him to go over to protect Jing Yan, but it was too late. The gates of Shouyang Pass opened again, this time only one person rushed out, and then closed the gates. The white-clothed young man was like a white lightning, and the fast horse rushed to the front of the well, raised the big sword in his hand, and swung the sword down, and the pillar of the well was cut off by Qi Shengsheng.
