After dark, the lights were still bright up and down the Vupala Pass, and the two sides invariably fought again at night.

After a whole day of fighting during the day, the defenders on the city pass relied on the fortified city and the sudden attack of the Wix death squad, the enemy suffered at least three or four thousand casualties, and because there was no baggage to pose too much threat to the city defense, except for the griffin legion caused more than a hundred casualties, in fact, it did not cause much damage to the city pass at all.

But often the victory does not depend on the number of casualties, if the city gate is breached, the enemy will be worth the cost of casualties, and the victory belongs to them.

The enemy's fatigue tactics left the defenders on the pass without any rest, nor did they have any reserve forces to rotate, and even the food was filled with cold water on the cold steamed buns.

There was no way to control the city gates, and there was no enemy to attack the city, and the offensive was still disorganized, but Mizt, Levante, and everyone knew very well that the enemy's purpose was to drag down the defenders, and they were waiting, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army, waiting for the arrival of the baggage army.

It was not a fierce battle, but both sides came and went as if they were acting, and in the middle of the night, the enemy's rear began to appear again, and the temporary camp suddenly burst into flames, as if the whole camp had been set on fire.

Of course, Mizt knew that this was Wicks' ghost, and they must have been attacking the enemy's rear and disrupting the enemy's siege rhythm, so he climbed the gate tower and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, and the reinforcements are outflanking the enemy from the rear, everyone hold on, and destroy all the enemies together with the reinforcements!" ”

These shouts, although ostensibly shouted to their own people, were actually shouted to the enemies under the city.

All those in the city who heard the shouting looked behind them, and they all looked behind them, where half of the sky had been burned red, and the stars were dimmed. The panicked enemy began to turn around and run back, at first a few people, then a dozen, then a dozen, a dozen or sozen...... The besieging soldiers who did not know why saw their men fleeing back, they also turned around with the trend, like dominoes, extending from the front of the pass to the rear of the enemy, and for a while, the army formation under the city became a pot of porridge, some attacked the city, some fled backwards, and some waited for their officers to give orders...... The generals who commanded the battle commanded the battle team to kill dozens of people in a row, but they could not stop the retreat of the army, and after a day of fighting, their own side suffered heavy casualties and low morale, and all the soldiers were dissatisfied with such a siege practice of burying with human lives, where could they take care of any military orders? The overseer team of several hundred men was soon overwhelmed by the retreating army, and finally had to retreat to the rear, whining like birds and beasts......

There was a sudden silence under the pass, and not a single enemy was left. For the first time, the soldiers defending the city felt the joy of victory, and cheered excitedly, as if it were really their own reinforcements had arrived, as if the enemy had really retreated, and they had won a complete victory.

In any case, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, at least withstood the attack of the first day, Mizter knew very well that this was only the beginning, the real enemy had not yet appeared, he believed that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, would be the real tragic battle, and the people who cheered here, many people would not be able to see with their own eyes the moment when the reinforcements arrived, and perhaps also himself, this was their last joy and cheer. So, Mizt didn't bother with their celebration of victory, and the army really needed such cheers to boost morale.

"Enemy attack—" shouted one of the advance party members, and all the men immediately returned to the city gate, only to see the figures climbing up the ladder towards the city wall, moving nimbly and agilely, and soon ascending the city wall.

"Don't let go of the arrows, your own people!" Someone shouted loudly.

"Captain!" Several members of the advance team immediately cried out and wept with joy.

It was Wei Kex who climbed the city wall, followed by seven advance team members, each of whom had turned his armor into strips of rags, stained with blood and blood-red, which looked extremely terrifying in the firelight.

Wicks, who was blindfolded with a strip of cloth over his right eye, jumped onto the city wall, and everyone immediately came up and surrounded the eight daredevils, including Weeks.

"Why, that's all that's left?" Mizt was surprised, "Your eyes? ”

"It's okay, I still have an eye to use!" Wicks gasped and said with a smile, "The death squad killed seven people and seriously wounded seven people, I left the seriously wounded seven behind enemy lines and arranged for three lightly wounded people to take care of them!" ”

"Okay, the Heroic Magician Regiment, sure enough, there is no one who is a bad seed, the greatness of life, and the glory of death!" Mizt sighed and asked, "Since you have gone out, what are you doing when you come back, you are in the rear, it is much more useful than in the city gate!" ”

"We have intercepted the enemy's intelligence, and the enemy's army of 30,000 is heading here!" Wicks immediately looked nervous and said, "We can arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest!" ”

"How can the enemy move so fast?" Mizter was surprised, "The city of Krodina is five or six hundred kilometers away from here, and it will take more than eight days for regular reinforcements to arrive here, but the beacon fire in Dongning Pass will be lit in less than five days!" ”

"It's the army of the city of Wanbora!" Levante said calmly, "Wanbora City is located in the middle of Yuping Pass and Wupara Pass, Your Majesty...... Arad had tens of thousands of troops there, and if there was any danger at Wupara Pass, Dongning Pass, or Yuping Pass, the army there could be dispatched. The checkpoints in the Guanzhong Plain cannot afford to be lost, so this army is different from the rabble we are fighting now, they are definitely elite divisions, if we can arrive at noon tomorrow, we may really not be able to wait for reinforcements from Dongning Pass! ”

"Elite? Lao Tzu is their elite, hahaha! Wicks laughed.

Mizter was puzzled and asked: "Why didn't Marshal Simak and General Lu Fasi, who feinted the Fifth Army to attack Yuping Pass, deceive this army, and why did the battle of Dongning Pass start in advance?" What happened that everyone didn't go as planned? ”

"Everything was originally planned to fight, is it still called a battlefield? The battle plan is for yourself, and the enemy may not play according to our routine! Wicks said with a smile, "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, plans are plans, operations are operations, this is not a book, the words in the book can be read, but war is not a book, but a book, you can write it this way, you can write it that way!" Now that it's all like this, what are you still doing with these problems? Mistress Mizter, do you regret your decision? ”

"Regrets?" Mizter shook his head and said, "Now that the Wupara Pass is in our hands, the Dongning Pass is estimated to have changed hands now, and General Thomas's cavalry is rushing here, what do I have to regret?" Shouldn't Arad be the one who has a headache now, why did it become like us? If you want to regret it, you have to lose the Wupara Pass and regret it before it's too late! ”

"Are you sure you can hold the Wupara Pass for two days?" Wicks asked.

"Nope!" Mizter laughed, "However, I still have this life, this is the closest to Ambassador Denilson, and if I am destined not to return to the city of Crodina and witness the fate of Arad with my own eyes, then please Lord Weeks to bring my eyes there!" ”

"Hahaha!" Wicks laughed and said, "The adults have found the wrong person, and they are going to die, and I will die before the adults!" ”

"Lord Levante, hold on to the day tomorrow, no matter whether you win or lose, we will open the east gate!" Mizt said, "If you want to leave, you can join the Fifth Legion to the east, and Lord Wicks and I have decided to live and die with Vupalaguan and not retreat!" ”

"Hahaha, are you laughing at me? Although I am greedy for money, I am by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I am the commander of Wupara Pass, why do you want me to run away first? Levante laughed and said, then climbed to the top of the city wall and said loudly, "All the soldiers of Wupara Pass, listen, as long as you hold on for one more day tomorrow, your task will be completed, and the east gate will open in the middle of the night, and you can choose whether to go or stay!" This commander has decided to live and die with Wupara Pass, and those who leave and those who stay are my Levante's brothers, and I have no blame!"

"Coexist and die with Chengguan, coexist and die with Chengguan......"

"People die and birds are facing the sky, anyway, Lao Tzu has earned it, and he will earn a few more tomorrow, this life is worth it!"

……

The city wall is difficult to hold anyway, fortunately, the gate enemy can not be opened for a while, the enemy wants to enter the city, can only climb up from the city wall, Wicks and Levante, are the best to use the terrain in the city pass to prepare for street battles with the enemy, drag on for a while, even if the city pass is lost, can not let the enemy completely control the entire level, as long as the battle and retreat, firmly control a part of the territory, or can do the response to the army.

……

On the morning of the next day, the enemy's army had not yet arrived, and the previous rabble was lazily gathering under the city pass under the urging of the military order, and it was the same offensive and defensive battle as yesterday, the besieging side was demoralized, did not exert all its strength, only sought to harass, and the defending side also intended to preserve its strength, and did not exert too much effort to spend energy with the enemy, both sides were bluffing, thunder and rain.

The south of early summer is a rainy season, and there are always showers in the afternoon every other day, washing away the sultry weather, and by the way, the blood stains on the top and bottom of the city of Vupala are also completely cleaned. And today's heavy rain lasted for two or three hours, the rain was abundant, and the city pass was muddy, and the mud that rose buried many corpses, or washed to a relatively low-lying area, and the corpses that were not buried, with pale complexion, looked down from the city pass, and there were stars everywhere, which was really terrifying.

For the defenders, the rain was like a dew, delaying the enemy's siege for at least a few hours. Now not a few hours, but half an hour, a few minutes of delay, for Mizter and Weeks, it is the joy of marching towards victory.

The heavy rain made the enemy's army not appear until near dusk, and the enemy did not stop, and immediately set up a position in front of the pass, set up baggage, and lined up catapults, crossbow chariots, and ballista carts in front of the pass, and only waited for an order to launch an overwhelming offensive against the Vupalapass.

Night gradually fell, adding to the tension of the imminent outbreak of the war, a black cloud overwhelmed the city, the mountain rain was about to come, and the wind was full of heroism, indicating that the curtain of the tragic battle was about to be opened here......
