Chapter 200: Broken Dreams
The sudden sound of war drums suddenly sounded, startling a flock of birds. Under the danger of building on the mountain, groups of soldiers began to gather to the sound of war drums, and there was no end in sight as far as the black pressure could see. If you look closely, these soldiers are highly motivated, energetic, and well-trained, and you can tell at a glance that they are elite divisions.
On top of the danger, a large number of troops were also gathered. However, compared with the high morale of the city, although the soldiers on the city wall are also ready for battle, there is obviously a gap between them and the soldiers under the city. After hearing the sound of war drums from the other side, many soldiers clenched their weapons tightly, and they did not look ordinary nervous.
If this is placed in Liu Yu's original world, then such a dangerous pass must be a place where one man can not open it. If the generals who defend the city give a little strength, it is obviously not a problem to hold on for the last year and a half. can be put in the Shenzhou Continent, where masters are like clouds and warriors are like rain, it is obviously not enough to see.
This first dangerous pass is the Qingyun Pass on the border of the Ming Kingdom, which was originally the first dangerous pass of the Zhu Kingdom, but now it is owned by the Ming Kingdom. And the army that is facing off is the border defenders of the Ming Kingdom, as well as the vanguard army of the Daling Dynasty.
This is the Daling Dynasty, and it is still the 200,000 vanguard army of the Daling Dynasty. Tightly knitting this 200,000 vanguard army, the millions of troops on the side of the Ming Kingdom, who had walls and dangers, still felt uneasy.
The Ming State annexed nearly twenty countries, and it was a series of battles, and it was basically pushed all the way through. During that time, nearly twenty countries were wiped out in such a short period of time, and which country did not have a million troops. There are tens of millions of more elite troops who surrendered alone, which shows that the Ming Kingdom now has a large number of troops.
With so many troops, it looks a little bloated. A country with millions of elite troops left behind is enough. Although the army is constantly reorganizing and selecting the elites among them, how many can be eliminated in such a short period of time. The million defenders on the border of the Ming Kingdom are considered to be small.
In the past, when Ming dealt with these surrounding countries, it was to bully the weak, and it can be said that there was no pressure, basically it was invincible. But this time is different, they are facing the Daling Dynasty, which is an old dynasty.
No matter how strong the Ming Kingdom is, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, it is still just a country that has just emerged. Even if it has been upgraded to a dynasty now, its strength is obvious to all, but it is not enough to oppose the Daling Dynasty at all.
Historically, the old dynasty has attacked the emerging dynasty, and there are a few countries that can really survive such wars. Even though there are dangers on the side of the Ming Kingdom and millions of troops, these soldiers can be said to have little confidence in this battle.
Moreover, most of these million-strong army surrendered from these countries occupied by the Ming State, and there was no sense of loyalty or belonging at all. For the sake of his own life, even if he surrenders again, it's nothing. What's more, it is not a shame to surrender to the more powerful Daling Dynasty.
The leader of the troops on the side of the Daling Dynasty was Hu Buren, a famous general of the Daling Dynasty, who was the vanguard general of the Daling Dynasty and a master of the two heavens of the metamorphosis period. The shadow of the famous tree, as soon as this Hu Buren appeared, it made the Ming army who knew him on the city wall take a breath of cold air.
That's it, the key is that they have many masters in the army. The Chiyan Sect has made a selection this time, and a large number of younger brothers have been photographed, as well as several other major sects, and the elite is not missing. With such a master, aren't the people of the Chiyan Sect bullying people?
As soon as the Daling Dynasty came up, it leaked some hole cards, so that the Ming army had points in their hearts. In the face of such a force as the Daling Dynasty, the Ming army was all worried except for those Ming hardcores.
Subsequently, the Daling Dynasty naturally recruited the defenders of the Ming Kingdom. Of course, in the face of the surrender of the Daling Dynasty, most of the soldiers were moved. But the problem is that the soldiers also know that the marshal is a general of the Ming Kingdom, and he may not agree.
Sure enough, as the general who guarded here, Xu Da refused the surrender of the Daling Dynasty. Although it had been expected for a long time, when it really happened, it couldn't help but make the soldiers a little disappointed, their morale was also a little low, and even many people had some different intentions.
The Ming State guard refused to surrender, and Hu Buren naturally expected it. As a "famous general" of the Daling Dynasty, Hu Buyen naturally has two brushes. The strength of the Daling Dynasty was slightly revealed, and the surrender made the morale of the Ming Kingdom plummet. It is not yet known how much combat effectiveness this million-strong army can exert now.
What's more, the current Ming army of one million seems to be powerful, but unfortunately it is a rabble. Most of them were surrendered, and both cohesion and combat effectiveness were far from sufficient.
With the prestige of the Daling Dynasty, it would be easy to secretly win over the people on the Ming side. But Hu Buren didn't do this, he wanted to take down the danger in front of him in one fell swoop with a dignified and upright teacher, so as to reflect the great military might of the Daling Dynasty.
Today's Ming Kingdom, the land area is not small, if you fight a little bit, I don't know how much work it will take. As long as he captures Qingyun Pass in one fell swoop, with such an example, it will make the defenders of the Ming Kingdom afraid, and then a few will honestly defend the city. Seeing the army of the Daling Dynasty, they didn't all obediently open the city and surrender.
Hu Buren is also selfish in doing this, for so many years, he has the title of a famous general, but it is a pity that the Daling Dynasty has not fought for so many years. Besides, there are many famous generals in the Daling Dynasty, so Hu Buren's position has not moved much. is a lot older, but the official position is not high at all.
This time, the Da Ling Dynasty decided to send troops to the Ming Kingdom, and Hu Buren finally got the position of a vanguard general. With 200,000 men in hand, open the way in front. Moreover, the major generals of the Daling Dynasty, who were wary of the strength of the Ming Kingdom, did not think that a mere Hu Buren could defeat the Ming Kingdom with 200,000 vanguard troops.
This time to attack the Ming Kingdom, Hu Buyen wants to win, and he wants to win beautifully. It's best to rely on your own vanguard army to directly win the Ming Kingdom in one go, then his name as a famous general is not just blown out in his own home.
With a good idea, Hu Buyen began to attack Qingyun Pass. It is said that this is a one-sided battle, with the rabble of the Ming Kingdom, how can it be able to block the soldiers of the Daling Dynasty.
You must know that the Daling Dynasty has an army of more than 3 million. At first glance, it seems to be similar to the average larger kingdom, but the soldiers in it, each of them are carefully selected, and they are by no means comparable to the soldiers of the kingdom.
With such an excellent soldier, his strength is not weak. There are even many masters in the army, and there are even two elders of the Red Flame Sect, who are masters of the transcendent stage. Attacking a small Qingyun Pass is not a matter of being captured.
But the development of things greatly surprised Hu Buren. The defender of the Ming Kingdom, that is really not an ordinary person. The Ming army held the city to the death, and several attacks on his side were in vain. Even with the Ming side, the morale continued to improve in the repulsion of his own army again and again.
Qingyunguan is built on the mountain, and the city is high and dangerous. Such a danger is a headache for ordinary soldiers. But this little bit of the city, for those who have reached a certain level of master, is not a problem at all. Just jump and you can go over the city walls.
Hu Buren's strategy is still the old routine of the Shenzhou mainland. First, his own soldiers rushed in front to attract firepower, and then naturally the master suddenly threw himself into the city and killed a large number of defenders on the wall of the Ming army. 、
But the guards on the opposite side didn't follow the routine at all, and the soldiers on his side stormed the city wall, but the strong bows on that side were useless. As soon as the master here appears, the strong crossbow over there will be powerful. 、
Although these strong crossbows are not enough to shoot these masters, they also hurt when they hit their bodies, and they also made them a little scrambling. What's more, here in the Ming army, it is not that there are no masters, when the Ming State annexed other countries, it was because of these masters that everything went so smoothly. With the strength of the strong bow, the masters of the Daling Dynasty had nowhere to speak.
After several successive siege failures, Hu Buren's dream of making contributions was shattered by the defenders of the Ming Kingdom. If in a few days, this little Qingyun Pass can't be defeated, then let alone make a contribution, he will become a laughing stock. (To be continued.) )
