The explosions in the hilly area stopped abruptly, and no movement was heard for a long time.

"Oops, Qin Lan's Black Feather Army should have broken through the minefield, that hill is only more than twenty miles away, and now we may be too late to evacuate. ”

The fighter plane was fleeting, and Jiang Feng decisively moved the howitzer array to the mountainside, using a solid shield array to guard the sheep intestine path.

At the same time, the Longqiang arrow array was placed in batches at several commanding heights, so that the arrangement could effectively suppress the enemy's upward charge.

The crossbow arrows of the Black Feather Army are weaker than the Mitsubishi Silver Armor Arrows of the Silver Snow Iron Cavalry, and the range is only two hundred meters, unless they are allowed to hit them in the face, otherwise, it will be difficult to inflict substantial damage on the Peak Tiger Army.

According to the high point, waiting for Chu He and Xu Chu to suppress it, this is the most secure plan at present.

And the final battle situation was similar to Jiang Feng's prediction, as soon as the howitzer array was disassembled and moved halfway up the mountain, there was a loud sound of horses' hooves at the foot of the mountain.

The Black Feather Iron Cavalry under Qin Lan's command marched faster than expected, and the passage at the bottom of the mountain was occupied by the Black Feather Army, who built fortifications on the spot, and in turn besieged the Tiger Ben Army on the main peak of the cockscomb.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng moved the artillery array to the halfway point of the mountain in advance, these dozens of howitzers are the main firepower suppression of the Yanzhou New Army, if they are captured by Qin Lan, it will be difficult to fight in the subsequent war.

"Set off fireworks sticks, inform Xu Chu, and let him guard the Bauhinia Pass, without my order, he must not easily go out of the pass to help Rooster Crown. ”

The elite troops of the Tiger Ben were taken away by the Chu River to capture Yongguan, and the arrow array and artillery array were placed on the main peak of the cockscomb, and now there are only 10,000 frost giants in the Bauhinia Pass, and there are a full 50,000 elite Black Feather Army under Qin Lan's command.

If Xu Chu rashly went out of the city, he might be eaten whole by Qin Lan, and then turn around and go straight to Bauhinia Pass.

If the Bauhinia Pass is lost, then the Black Feather Army can unite with the Imperial Capital Forbidden Army to achieve two bread suppression, and besiege the Yanzhou New Army between the two passes.

"Send cronies to break through the siege and verbally convey my orders to Chu He, so that he can hold Yongguan and resist the forces of Fengdu. ”

Although he was besieged by heavy troops at Jiguan Peak, Jiang Feng was not panicked at all in his heart.

If the grain stock left by the main camp of Dongli is saved, it is enough for thousands of new troops to support more than half a month, and there is a large amount of snow at the peak that has not yet melted, and there is no shortage of fresh water, so there will be no thirst to death.

The strongest weapons of the Yanzhou Tiger Army, the howitzer array and the Longqiang wind arrows, are all placed on the peak, and they also have a condescending advantage.

The Black Feather Army relied only on human flesh to break through, and if it wanted to rush to the peak, the difficulty was comparable to climbing to the sky.

Moreover, Nangong Dongli is still under Jiang Feng's account, which is a hole card to ensure that Qin Lan will not dare to act rashly, at most besiege but not attack, and force the Yanzhou New Army to hand over the hostages.

The Tiger Army and the Black Feather Army were separated by half a mountain, and they each built fortifications, and there was no fighting, and there was not even a small friction during the period.

"Your Highness Jiang Feng, it is necessary for me to remind you that the main peak currently only has 10,000 shield soldiers, and the Longqiang clan under my account, the Mitsubishi Wind Arrow has suffered serious losses, and it cannot be replenished in time. Long Yun was slightly melancholy, puzzled by Jiang Feng's refusal to help Zijing Pass and Yongguan.

Qin Lan is menacing this time, and she is by no means like a good stubble.

Sticking to the spot, there may be accidents, and it is not as simple as imagined.

"The only thing I'm worried about is that Qin Lan may carry out a night attack, if there is a head-to-head confrontation, even the 100,000 Black Feather Army will not be able to break through my defense. ”

Jiang Feng had also considered the risks of the confrontation, but he couldn't destroy the good foundation that the Yanzhou New Army had already occupied because of his own safety.

The terrain of the Rooster Crown Peak is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible for the 50,000 Black Feather Army to capture the main peak, but after nightfall, there is no vision at all, and the Black Feather Army has a probability that it will use the cover of night to quietly approach the Jiuli Shield Formation.

But Jiang Feng is not as good as Dongli, and the Black Feather Army is not a Tiger Division, they do not have long-range killing weapons such as Longqiang Wind Arrows and Howitzer Arrays, and it is extremely difficult to attack.

"Inform the light and dark sentinels to burn a fireworks stick every once in a while to illuminate the entire main peak to ensure that the Black Feather Army does not attack at night. ”

Every half hour, a fireworks stick is released from the summit towards the base of the mountain, but the exact location of the release is unknown.

The bright halo, like daylight, would expose half of the mountain to the field of vision, which could effectively prevent Qin Lan from making a sneak attack.

After a stalemate for several days, the Black Feather Army could not go up, and the Tiger Ben Division could not come down, but Qin Lan still sent troops to build large fortifications at the foot of the mountain every day.

It was not until the early morning of the third day that the situation of the battle took a turn for the better.

As soon as the sky was bright, black smoke floated above the Bauhinia Pass, and the city was full of fire, wailing all over the wilderness, as if it had just experienced a catastrophe.

"Bauhinia Pass is lost......"

The yellow flags were originally planted in the city, but now they have all been replaced with black flags, which is enough to show that Bauhinia Pass has been captured by the Black Feather Army overnight.

"How did you do that? I still have 10,000 Mozhou main forces in my city? With the garrison of the Frost Giant, it shouldn't have been captured so easily?"

This matter made Jiang Feng feel very incomprehensible, he slept very dead in the second half of the night, and the attendants outside the tent did not tell him about the Bauhinia Pass, and even the light and dark sentry halfway up the mountain did not find that Qin Lan had any signs of transferring troops to the pass.

The attention of the sentry post was all used to prevent the night attack of the Black Feather Army, and he didn't notice the movement of Bauhinia Pass at all.

In just two hours, Qin Lan attacked Bauhinia Pass under Jiang Feng's nose, and recovered it at dawn, with such a speed that it was jaw-dropping.

"Lord Jiang Feng, Liuxia and Shuangyi are still in the Bauhinia Pass, I'm afraid it will ......"

Bauhinia Pass fell, and most of the defenders in the city were captured.

Lu Xia and Shuang Yi lived in the palace of the main general, and there were only a few cronies stationed in the palace, if Qin Lan broke through the Bauhinia Pass, he would inevitably enter the palace first.

"It's going to be fine, Qin Lan is not stupid, but the two of them will become bargaining chips in the transaction. ”

Jiang Feng summoned Xiang Yu overnight, stuffed a secret letter to him, and instructed: "Xiang Yu, you hand over this letter to Qin Lan overnight. ”

"What kind of letter is this, asking for peace?" asked Long Yunyu with her hands around her chest and puzzled.

"War book, let Qin Lan let us go down the mountain, fight him to the death, if I lose, send the east fence back, and the whole army will withdraw to the Yanzhou grassland, and no longer violate the border of the Snow Country within thirty years. ”

Jiang Feng rubbed his shoulders and explained to Long Yun: "Now I don't know the situation of Liuxia and Shuangyi, you can't trade rashly, a decisive battle is the best tactic, with Qin Lan's position as commander in the Black Feather Army, he won't do some crooked tricks."

In the Snow Moon Empire, which advocates martial arts, it is proud to defeat its opponents with dignity. ”

"Understood, I'm going to make pre-war preparations. Long Yun nodded as if he didn't understand, withdrew from the main camp, returned to the Longqiang station, and repaired the broken Mitsubishi Wind Arrow overnight.
