"What do adults say?" After a long time, Levante asked Mizter leisurely, "If I join the Fifth Legion, you won't hurt us, you won't hurt the soldiers and officers guarding the pass?" ”

"Joke, I'm here to do business!" Mizter said, "The most important thing in doing business is to be honest, as long as the commander cooperates, not only will it not hurt you, except that the box of things belongs to you, I also want to take credit for you!" ”

Levante was like a deflated ball, and said weakly: "Say, what do you want me to do?" ”

Wicks said: "I want you to immediately send half of the soldiers to reinforce Dongning Pass tomorrow, within four days, you must get there!" ”

"Reinforcements to Dongning Pass?" Levante was puzzled, and then exclaimed, "You want my people to break up the defenders from inside Dongning Pass?" I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, I can send up to 800 people here, and you must be able to see that these subordinates of mine have basically never seen any battle scenes! ”

Wicks said: "I only care about the identity of your soldiers in Wupara Pass, I will send half of my men to follow you into Dongning Pass, after entering the pass, you only need to assist them in capturing the city gate, after the city gate is opened, surrender on the spot, don't resist!" ”

"Good!" Levante said, "Then the rest of the people, turn around and face the defensive direction of the Wupara Pass towards the Guanzhong Plain, but can this be defended?" ”

"Of course you can hold it, as long as you listen to my arrangement, even if the 100,000 troops knock on the pass, I will keep them out!" Wicks swore by it.

……

The next day, Levante counted 800 people, led by Holtz, lightly armed to Dongning Pass for reinforcements, accompanied by 50 advance team members mixed in the army. This point of men and horses does not play much role in reinforcing Dongning Pass, but if you sabotage from Dongning Pass, it is definitely easy to open the gate of Chengguan, and the real threat to be faced is still how to deal with the reinforcements from the pass where Wicks and Mizt are located.

Two days after Holz's departure, the first group to reinforce Dongning Pass was the vanguard of 3,000 cavalry, and when they arrived at Vupala, it was already evening.

Mizter and Wicks could have kept these cavalry at bay or let them pass through the Vupala pass, but both of these options would have an impact on the follow-up actions of the Fifth Legion's army, so they decided to take the risk of letting them into the pass while the enemy didn't know that the pass had changed hands.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses, who were tired of men and horses, did not immediately rush overnight, and for them, after the Vupala Pass, it was no longer a plain, but a narrow mountain road, so they decided to rest for the night.

But on this night, the number of these 3,000 cavalry disappeared from then on.

In the middle of the night, the unsuspecting cavalry barracks were killed by Wicks leading the detachment and hundreds of soldiers guarding the pass, and the sleeping cavalry did not know what was going on. The whole barracks was set on fire by everyone, and the sounds of wailing, screaming, scolding, the sound of swords and the neighing of war horses were intertwined.

After a moment of confusion, the trapped cavalry began to rush desperately towards the nearby stables, and some of them grabbed the horses and fought with the defenders of the city. But Wicks' advance party was invincible in the ranks of the defenders, and when they saw the horses, they did not hesitate to shoot them immediately.

The angry cavalrymen set the stables on fire with a fire, and thousands of panicked horses broke free from the reins and even dragged down the stables, running and trampling in the nearby barracks, both the enemy and the enemy, were knocked down by the horses, and then many were trampled into mud, and for a time they were wailing all over the field, but they were completely covered by the high-pitched neighing of the panicked war horses, and the situation was out of control.

The cavalry who were besieged grabbed the war horses one after another, and then turned over on their horses, and could not distinguish between the enemy and me in the dark, and did not dare to fight, so they directly captured the city gate, and after opening the city gate, they scattered towards the pass, and some ownerless war horses also followed these cavalry and escaped from the city pass.

Of the three thousand, half were killed, the remaining half, some fled, some were seriously wounded, and more than three hundred were forced to surrender, and Leyvat's guards also lost more than two hundred.

This battle seems to be risky, completely meaningless, and the enemy fled and leaked the news, but it conveyed a message to the people in the pass, the Wupara Pass has been breached, and the enemy who reinforces the Dongning Pass will inevitably be in chaos, is it to increase the attack on the Wupala Pass to continue reinforcements, or directly lead the troops back to the station, redeploy, and fight the enemy in the Guanzhong Plain? Every general has his own ideas, the reinforcements of Dongning Pass are not a military unit, but two or three thousand here, two or three thousand there, many of the reinforcements are assembled at Wupara Pass, and now Wupara Pass is no longer in their hands, and it is completely meaningless to assemble there.

In a word, those fleeing cavalry brought endless panic and despair to the Guanzhong Plain, and all the eyes of Aracia will slowly focus on the Guanzhong Plains.

Mizter and Wicks, who insisted on destroying the 3,000 cavalry, did not know that such an effect would be caused, but were annoyed by the enemy's escape. But Wicks did his best, five of the hundred advance team members died while digging the mausoleum, fifty people were sent to Dongning Pass, and the remaining forty-five people had to control the center of Levante and participate in the battle of the army.

After this battle, there were only more than 500 defenders left in the Vupala Pass, and the newly captured more than 300 cavalry were immediately reorganized into the sequence formation of the Vupala Pass, and the first thing they had to do was to clean up the corpses of soldiers and horses piled up everywhere in the pass, and it was summer now, and these troubles that could lead to lesions must be disposed of as soon as possible.

The rest of the defenders only took a short break and immediately began to prepare for the defense of the castle facing the pass. Although the Vupala Pass was dangerous, the defensive offensive facing the direction of the pass was basically false, and the defenders of Levante were extremely lazy, many of the defending facilities were dilapidated, and even the arrow towers were four or five, and the arrows, ballistas, and catapults used to defend the city were also seriously insufficient. At the request of Mizter and Wicks, Levante strictly ordered his subordinates to immediately supplement and adjust the armament of Vupalaguan.

The Guanzhong Plain was finally fully mobilized, and the Arad camp finally confirmed that the enemy's main attack direction was the line from Dongning Pass to Wupala Pass, and the loss of Wupara Pass meant that Dongning Pass was in danger. However, it is not without the possibility of remediation, as long as the empty garrison of Vupala Pass is recaptured, the enemy can still be kept out of the pass. Therefore, even though the defeated cavalry caused great panic to the reinforcements of Dongning Pass along the way, the defenders who came from all directions still assembled under the Wupala Pass, and in less than two days, more than 10,000 people lined up in front of the pass, opening up the formation, preparing to recapture the Wupala Pass.

Calculating the time, if the advance team members and 800 soldiers who went to Dongning Pass to help did not delay too much, they should have arrived at Dongning Pass, Dongning Pass can be changed tonight at the latest, and Thomas's cavalry will take two days from Dongning Pass to Wupara Pass at the earliest, so Weeks and Mizt will have to hold Wupara Pass for at least three days. Weeks was confident, Mizter worried, Levante was ashen, and Diego was completely confused that he had no idea what he had done, and if the level hadn't been strictly forbidden to open, he would have fled the hellish place a long time ago.

"Woo-" The enemy began to attack the Wupala Pass, and the defenders, including the captured more than 300 cavalry, totaled only 900 people, and more than 10,000 people under the city, and drove towards the black and oppressive ground of the city pass with great vigour.

This temporary patchwork army was originally a rapid reinforcement of Dongning Pass, and it was lightly armed and rushed to defend the city pass, so it did not carry any siege equipment, and even the ladder was cut from the nearby forest, made on the spot, extremely simple, and could not be called a ladder at all, that is, an ordinary ladder that was a little longer. There are less than ten catapults, and there are no more than fifty ballistae and crossbow chariots in total.

But the soldiers of Levante defending the city are not good birds, looking at the black and oppressive formation under the city, many people are frightened, and looking back at the hundreds of defenders on their own side on the city pass, the gap is too big.

A group of rabble attacked the city, a group of rookies defended the city, and the offensive and defensive battle of Wupara Pass kicked off in this way. Wicks' forty-five advance party members all climbed to the top of the city, and in the face of tens of thousands of people, they set up hundreds of ladders, and then climbed up from the ladders...... The catapults and ballistae inside and outside the city pass began to fire arrows and stone projectiles at the opponent's position, all of which were sparse and difficult to achieve, and the advance team members who were accustomed to seeing large battles in the Kuba fortress were a little stunned, these people actually ignored the defenders to such an extent.

Except for a small number of ballistas, repeater chariots, and catapults, it is difficult for the opponent's long-range baggage to suppress the walls. The enemy began to climb the ladder, and the defenders on the walls began to throw stones and rolling logs downward, and the battle was not fierce at all.

The enemy seemed to know that there were not many defenders at the Wupara Pass, and they didn't bother to test it again, and the huge siege vehicle slowly drove from the rear, without much interference on the way, and almost drove straight to the gate below the city pass, and quickly rammed the attackers.

There are two arrow towers on both sides of the gate, one on the left and one on the right, but the arrows shot from the arrow towers are not too threatening to the siege vehicle phalanx protected by heavy shields.

"Knock-" The huge impact of the siege vehicle made almost the entire city pass shake, and Wicks hurriedly gathered more than twenty advance team members and poured fireballs into the catapult phalanx at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom-" More than a dozen hellish fireballs and beaded fireballs suddenly exploded in the shield soldier phalanx, and the entire phalanx was chaotic into a plate of scattered sand, and the soldiers operating the siege vehicle were completely exposed in front of the four arrow towers, and the arrows like raindrops were shot over.

The hundreds of defenders were equipped with a group of magicians, which surprised the besieging side, and even became angry, and immediately sent their own magician regiments to form a siege vehicle phalanx again, together with hundreds of griffin legions in the air, from the ground and air, launched a new round of attacks on Vupalaguan again.
