Chapter 290: Guarding the Pass

"Sister, this is the vanguard general appointed by the state pastor, and he is the one who took us to burn the granary." Guan Ping turned around and introduced the girl in a respectful tone.

The girl looked at Wang Yan, only to find that this vanguard general looked very young, felt not much older than her younger brother, and felt a little contempt, and she had already found out clearly that the grain and grass were burned, but she didn't expect it to be done by Guan Jiajun, and she was a little proud in her heart, and she attributed everything to Guan Jiajun's credit.

Guan Ping didn't notice the different color in the girl's eyes, but Wang Yan saw it clearly, and didn't go to his heart, Wang Yan had already cultivated to the realm of ignoring the eyes of others, no matter how the Western Xia army struggled, retreating was an inevitable thing, and sticking to it here until the Western Xia retreated was a favor.

The door was wide open, Wang Yan led the team in, and the girl always felt that Guan Jiajun was a little different, and felt a lot more powerful and energetic.

The first line of heaven is surrounded by mountains on three sides, only a gap just now, it is indeed a good place to hold on, the place in the valley is not small, about a thousand tilts, equivalent to one-tenth of the size of Liangshan, there are 5,000 elite soldiers stationed in the valley, counting the rest of the Guan family brought by the previous family and their own team, adding up to more than 10,000, 10,000 people stick to this valley to the Western Xia retreat should not be difficult.

Wang Yan and the others were quickly settled, Guan Ping took Wang Yan to meet Guan Qingkun's wife and mother, and then returned to the residence, and after running for many days, he was finally able to sleep well for a day.

took a shower, closed his eyes and fell asleep, when he woke up, it was already dark, and there was a faint sound of fighting outside, Wang Yan hurriedly got up, pushed open the door and looked, the fire was bright in the distance, and the sound of fighting came from above.

Wang Yan went back to the house and put on the soft armor, he didn't even bother to wear the scale armor, picked up the coiling dragon, went to the stable and led the horse towards the gate.

Ran to the front, saw the current situation clearly, closed the door in the battle, the gate was full of people, and soldiers were constantly being carried down, followed by soldiers on top of it, many of them were familiar faces.

"The general is here!"

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, Wang Yan's old department all looked at it, and when they saw Wang Yan rushing one by one, it was like beating chicken blood, and their morale suddenly rose.

Wang Yan stretched out his hand and dragged a familiar face to him and asked.

"What's going on?"

"General Yu, it's the Xixia people who are calling, and Vice General Guan and Vice General Yue are fighting the enemy above."

"How long has the fighting been going on and how many casualties have been taken?"

"It's been almost an hour, and the brothers have lost more than 300 people."

Three hundred men were killed in an hour at the narrow pass, and the battle must have been so fierce.

The crowd took the initiative to get out of the way, Wang Yan carried the coiled dragon and rushed to the wall, the two-zhang wide wall was crowded with people, the Western Xia soldiers who attacked were wearing heavy armor, the armor of the Guan family army was not as thick as the Western Xia soldiers, and it was very difficult to resist.

Guan Ping was fighting with a Western Xia soldier, and the big knife slashed at the Western Xia soldier could not break their heavy armor at all, he was already hanging the color, and there was a shocking wound on his arm.

Suddenly, a Western Xia soldier rushed out of the barrier and killed Wang Yan, and a shadow floated out of the gate, followed by a cold light.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the silver spear slowed down Panlong, and Panlong bombarded the Western Xia soldier first, sending him flying.

The Western Xia soldiers were beaten ten zhang away, and the soldiers who directly crossed the pass fell down the city wall.

The people who were close to the people heard the muffled sound, and they could see the Western Xia army facing Wang Yan most clearly.

"It's him! That's him! The Ruler wants his head! ”

There was a roar among the Western Xia soldiers, Wang Yan was recognized, and soon most people's eyes were gathered, and the firepower was concentrated in this direction.

The leader of Tuoba asked for his head by name, and the reward was quite rich, and he was given the title of commander, a thousand gold, and the surname Tuoba, and the main lord was here, how could he not be red.

Those who saw Wang Yan for the first time rushed up, and those who had seen it before retreated to the back silently.

"Hahaha, the position of commander, a thousand taels of gold is mine!"

A Western Xia soldier armed with a giant axe rushed in front of Wang Yan with a wild laugh, and the Western Xia soldiers who came up to stop him were all pushed away by him and rushed straight in front of Wang Yan.

Boom!

There was another muffled sound, no one could see how Wang Yan made a move, and the coiling dragon smashed firmly on the man's lower abdomen, and the giant man's smile froze on his face, and it ejected like a cannonball and smashed into the crowd, knocking down a group of people, and the Western Xia soldiers at the back had just climbed the city wall, and some were pushed down before they could gain a firm foothold.

Everyone gasped in unison, and the girl holding the silver gun also showed a strange color in her eyes.

Wang Yan lifted the coiled dragon and rushed into the crowd, the stick rose and fell, and smashed into the chest with the helmet, the heavy armor soldier is not without weakness, hitting his head with a heavy object can still have a good effect, Yue Pengju knew that if he smashed the plate axe on the head of the Xixia soldier, Guan Ping was a little worse.

Wang Yan's appearance tilted the balance of the battle instantly, the wall was not spacious, and he waved the dragon wheel a few times, and the more than 30 people in front of him went half of it at once, and the pressure on the gate was instantly reduced, and the Guan family army rushed up to besiege the Western Xia soldiers.

The battle lasted for half a pillar of incense, and the Western Xia withdrew its troops, and since Wang Yan joined the battle, the balance of casualties was one-sided.

The Western Xia army retreated to the bottom of the mountain like a tide, and Wang Yan wiped his face and was about to leave.

"General! You're awake. Guan Ping handed over the big knife to his subordinates and walked to Wang Yan.

"Why don't you wake me up when an enemy comes?"

"You haven't had a good night's sleep since you came out of the gourd, it's time to rest and get a good night's sleep." Guan Ping said with a grin.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, the two went down to the city pass together, Wang Yan asked for a camp tent, and planned to sleep under the pass in the future.

Guan Ping was dragged by her sister to treat her injuries, Yue Pengju rested in the camp tent on Wang Yan's left hand, it was already snoring, fighting with the heavy armor soldiers was a physical work, killing for more than an hour, and it was okay if there were no hand cramps.

Soon Guan Ping came back after bandaging and told Wang Yan in detail what had just happened.

There was a group of Xixia people who crossed the forest and found a line of heaven gate, and then climbed the mountain and began to attack the fortifications, the first batch of people who came up were light infantry, the armor was not thick, so it was not difficult to fight, but soon the heavy infantry rushed up, their armor was very thick, and it was difficult to break through their defenses without all their strength, so they would be killed in the city.

Guan Ping did not stay in Wang Yan's camp for too long, and left after reporting the matter, leaving a letter for Wang Yan when he left, telling Wang Yan that from now on, all the soldiers in Guanzhong would be sent by Wang Yan.

The Western Xia army camped at the foot of the mountain, and saw that the scale was enough for 5,000 people, and when it came to the next day, the scale of the camp was fully expanded tenfold.

Wang Yan was on the wall and watched a group of heavy infantry slowly walking towards the pass, with 10,000 people.

Behind them was a group of men, archers!

Wang Yan began to fantasize about the various tactics that the Western Xia army might use, if it was himself, how to use these two kinds of soldiers to bring their strength into play? Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind, and then his face sank.

The shield soldiers and spearmen were transferred up from the pass, and the shield soldiers were raised against the female wall, and the spearmen were ambushed behind and attacked from the gap between the shields, the purpose was to keep these people out of the wall, and they could not be allowed to go to the pass, and the heavy armor had a very strong defense against the bow and arrow, and was almost not afraid of the bow and arrow, if the archers shot at the pass, and the heavy infantry rushed up with the cover of the bow and arrow, and fought with themselves and others in the rain of arrows, it would be a very unfavorable situation.

The appearance of archers also means that there will be rockets, Wang Yan ordered the camp behind the pass to retreat twenty zhang to avoid being affected by bows and arrows, and gathered the only 1,000 archers behind the pass, and sent a team of shield soldiers to cover in front to reflect the Western Xia army!

There were two layers of shields bare on the female wall, and Wang Yan stared at the team below from the gap.

Soon, the team dispersed, and out came a man who served a different kind of than the soldiers, and he was the commander of the group!

Seeing that the shield was raised on the gate, the general did not think it was strange, and the bow and arrow began to shoot indiscriminately at the gate, and the heavy infantry pressed on it, and set up a ladder and began to climb the city wall.

It was really expected by Wang Yan, the Western Xia army really planned to fight in the rain of arrows, and the back was tightly wrapped in heavy armor, and the arrows only made a tinkling sound when they were shot.

In the face of the heavy infantry attacking the city, coupled with the heavy weapons in their hands, the shield soldiers resisted very hard, but they still persevered, and the spearmen were behind, constantly stabbing out their spears, and stabbing the Western Xia soldiers who were on the shields down the wall.

The rain of sharp arrows generally falls after the pass, and the archers behind the pass are also waiting for the opportunity to shoot, but compared with the rain of arrows of the Western Xia army, it is not at the same level at all, and after two rounds, the archers are suppressed under the shield and cannot show their heads.

It took half an hour, the Western Xia army did not break through the shield wall and turned to the pass, the archers stopped shooting, and the ten thousand teams of 1,000 people had shot the quiver in turn, and the 100,000 feather arrows had caused many casualties The Western Xia army did not know, the heavy infantry retreated, and the team that took over the attack was already walking up the mountain halfway.

The Western Xia army is counting casualties, Wang Yan is also counting casualties, the pass is full of feather arrows, one foot can step on two, Liang soldiers are frantically transporting arrows to the pass, as for the pass is more spectacular, the original camp is full of feather arrows, dense, like weeds, giving people the feeling that these arrows seem to grow out of the ground.

Wang Yan saw the second team of people, wearing not iron armor, but leather armor, with strange blades in their hands, and the front end was bent outward, like a sickle.

With an instinct for cold weapons, this heavy weapon usually has a return hand and requires extreme care.

Wang Yan noticed the hook on the waist of this group, and decisively asked the shield soldiers to retreat, and the spearmen pushed to the front, and ordered the archers to prepare to shoot.

Soon the second team took over the position of the first team, and the Western Xia soldiers wearing leather armor and holding scimitars rushed to the pass with a cloud ladder and shouted, and Wang Yan's eyes gradually condensed.

The Western Xia soldiers entered the range of bows and arrows, Wang Yan waved his hand down violently, and with the sound of a drum, the feather arrows rose from behind the pass!
