After dawn, the Eastern Navy continued to maintain pressure on Weidongguan, tossing a little movement from time to time, just to prevent the rebels from sleeping peacefully.

The day passed quickly, and the people in the dream took time to rest, and they had important tasks to do tonight. Five eight-ox crossbows were quietly pulled to the wall and assembled, and a large number of giant arrows wrapped in linoleum cloth on the arrow clusters had also been completed, just waiting for a feast of blood and fire to be presented to Weidongguan in the evening.

No matter what kind of world the Dongzhou Continent is, some basic laws are still the same as the real world, including the rising and setting of the sun in the east. The sun rises from Donghai Town, crossing the top of the two passes in the afternoon, and at this moment it is slowly setting behind the tail of the East Pass, I don't know if it symbolizes that the rebels of Wei County are about to rise to the West Mountain.

After dusk, the Eastern Navy had an early dinner, and tonight they will attack Weidongguan, which has more than 5,000 troops at the moment, with 1,500 troops. If the Second Battle of Dongguan still ended with the defeat of the East China Navy by the weak, this cannot but be said to be a military miracle on the Dongzhou Continent. And as the creator of this miracle, no matter what the fate of the Eastern Navy will be in the future, these two battles alone are enough for them to be permanently recorded in history.

On the side of Weidongguan, the rebel soldiers all wore dark circles under their eyes, and kept praying in their hearts, hoping that the Eastern Navy would be merciful tonight, stop playing the trick of feints, and let them sleep well. When we wake up tomorrow, all the siege equipment in front of the East Pass will be completed, and the rebels will also launch a general attack on the opposite side of the East Pass.

"So really please, let's get a good night's sleep tonight!" This is the desire of all the rebel soldiers from top to bottom.

But an army should not expect the enemy to be merciful to you, and it should not expect the opponent to wait foolishly until you are ready to act. It has to be said that the low quality of the rebels is a top-down problem, and their commander did not think at all that the Eastern Navy did not intend to wait for the day when their siege equipment was completed.

After dinner, as the saying goes, when you are full, you will be sleepy, not to mention that the rebels have not been able to sleep peacefully for two nights, and at this moment, as soon as they get on the pillow, they will cry out, and no one has thought that they should walk around after the meal to eat.

At this time, the East Navy seemed to know that they had fallen asleep, and the direction of Dongwei Pass was noisy again, and even the East Pass was shouting. But most of the soldiers were already asleep, and occasionally one or two faintly heard the louder and louder noise, and they just put their pillows on their ears, turned over and went back to sleep. Even several generals of the rebel army decided to ignore the other party's noise with the mentality of "the wolf is coming".

In fact, the position in front of the Weidong Pass was already in chaos at the moment.

Huge flaming arrows roared through the 400-meter open space between the two levels, and these huge arrows, nearly two meters long, were nailed to the ladder or the wooden frame of the rushing cart, igniting the entire equipment that had cost the rebels several months of hard work, and soon it was like a huge fire candle.

There are also great arrows that fail to hit the right target, but the damage is just as good. If the shot is too high, it will directly cross the head of the city of Weidong Pass and fall into the facilities in the pass, causing fire in one place and another. The shot was low, and the rebel soldiers who were running around and busy fighting the fire were directly pierced through the chest. What's more, one of the huge arrows pierced through five soldiers, and finally nailed a stunned baggage soldier firmly to the wall of Weidongguan.

Even the gate of Weidongguan was nailed with several flaming giant arrows, and the heavy huge wooden door had been ignited, and the flames rushed straight to the castle tower on top.

In fact, it took less than five minutes to form such a violent wave of blows, and after a while, whether it was inside or outside the Guan, there were already fires everywhere, and the choking smell of smoke poured into the Weidong Pass along the east wind of the mountain pass.

The captain on duty on the city tower watched in amazement at the open space in front of the pass being ravaged by dozens of giant arrows, none of the siege equipment was not burning at this time, although the casualties of the heavy soldiers and the thousand soldiers and horses guarding these equipment were not large, so far there were only double digits, but everyone was in danger, and they rushed to the city gate, crying and beating the city gate, hoping that the captain on duty could let them enter the pass to avoid trouble.

Seeing that all the siege equipment that could pose a threat to Dongwei Pass was burned, the Eastern Navy aimed the remaining giant arrows at the rebel soldiers who were crowded in front of the gate, and often when a giant arrow finally pierced the ground, it had already turned into a giant human meat skewer with five or six corpses.

The flames ignited the corpses, emitting the burnt smell of burning proteins, which made the rebel soldiers feel more chilled than the smoky smell of burning wood. The rebel soldiers finally knew that they could only wait for death before closing the gate, so they spontaneously scattered in all directions, but they did not dare to get too close to Dongwei Pass, for fear of being attacked by the bow and arrow of the Eastern Navy.

All of a sudden, the people in the open space in front of the pass were scurrying like headless flies, no one knew where it was safer, and they only wanted to run to a place with fewer people, so as not to become the target of a giant arrow. However, with the presence of more than 1,500 rebels here, including the baggage soldiers, it usually seems to be very safe, but at the moment it is difficult to find a vacant space that is uninhabited.

"Boom!" With a bang, the skeleton of a ladder was almost burned, and finally collapsed with a bang. The burning timber scattered in all directions and fell on the heads of the rebel soldiers, killing several people instantly.

More often than not, they were just smashed, but they couldn't move because they were crushed under the burning wood, and they could only wail in pain, from miserable to miserable to heartbreaking, until they were hoarse, until the sound gradually disappeared.

There were also a few who were lucky not to be injured, but their uniforms were ignited by the flames, and they ran in terror, but they did not know that the wind helped the fire, and the more they ran, the more they burned, and in the blink of an eye, they became a burning fire man. The fire people let out a low wail, the flames burned their vocal cords, and they could not even speak clearly for help, so they could only pounce helplessly on their comrades, hoping that they could help them extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the other rebel soldiers were afraid to dodge.

Finally there was an unfortunate baggage soldier who could not dodge and was held by a burning man, not only did he fail to help his comrade in front of him, but after a while, he was also set on fire, but he could not even run, because the companion was dead, but the burning corpse still held him tightly.

On the wall of Dongwei Pass, Xiaofeng couldn't help but exclaim, "Is it so easy for people to be ignited?" It's horrible! ”

Huang Zhi shook his head, "Actually, it's not that easy, the main thing is that their situation is special." The rebels outside Weidong Pass had probably not changed their clothes for several days, there was too much grease on their clothes, and everyone had a lot of wood chips on them because of the rush to make siege equipment. With grease and sawdust, they're humanoid torches now. ”

Sima Fuqiang was also a little unbearable, and turned his head to ask Wu Qiang, "Have you run out of giant arrows?" ”

Wu Qiang retracted his slightly unbearable gaze and replied, "Yes, my lord, I just ran out." ”

"Then it's time for us to act, the second phase of the Second Weidongguan Campaign, start now!" With the order of the captain of the East China Sea, the closing door of the East End Pass slowly rose.

It was not until this time that the captain on duty on the upper floor of the Guancheng in Weidong came back to his senses from the tragic situation in front of the wall, remembering that he had forgotten to warn, so he hurriedly asked his soldiers who were also in a daze to quickly ring the bell and beat the drum to wake up the colleagues who had fallen asleep in the pass.

But when he came to the inside of the tower and looked to the west, his eyes immediately became blank and helpless. At this time, the gate was already in a mess, and a few huge arrows that had been shot high just now fell into the barracks in the gate, which had already ignited the fires in several places.

This kind of thing would not have happened, whether it was Weidongguan or Dongweiguan, the barracks in the pass were basically made of stone, and it was almost impossible to cause a fire. It's just that the capacity of these barracks is limited, and this time the rebels have more than 5,000 horses in one fell swoop, so a considerable number of people can only set up tents and camp in open fields.

At this moment, it was these tents that caught fire, and due to the limited space in the gate, the tents were set up relatively densely, so the fire spread in a moment.

Hundreds of rebel soldiers were burned to death in their sleep, and a few cries for help could be faintly heard in the fire, which was no better than in the open space in front of the gate.

The few soldiers who were woken up by the cries for help had not yet woken up, and stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to put out the fire or to assemble and prepare to meet the battle. And many more people don't even know what's going on around them, and still sleep on their own.

At this time, the bells and drums on the city tower sounded in unison, and the alarm was loud, which made more rebels reluctantly wake up. Even so, I don't know how long it will take for these people to be fully energetic and able to really devote themselves to fighting fires or fighting.

The captain on duty sighed, and with what he saw at the moment, he was afraid that the Eastern Navy on the opposite side would still not be able to organize a large team to block its offensive before the gate was closed.

Thinking of this, he was ready to turn around and go to the east side of the city tower to continue to pay attention to the situation in front of the gate. At this moment, a loud muffled sound came from the gate under his feet, which was clearly the sound of the siege hammer hitting the gate. He hurried three steps and two steps to the outward side of the tower, and looked down.

I saw that a small group of strange people had appeared under the city tower at some point, and more of the situation was in the blind corner of his vision. At this moment, one of the men and horses looked up at the captain on duty, raised his hand and opened his bow to shoot. Before the lieutenant could react, an arrow pierced his throat, and he fell headlong into the ground outside the gate.

A moment before he landed, the captain on duty saw a strong man holding a sledgehammer and slamming it against the gate of Weidongguan. "The gate is broken......" was his last impression before he died.

Under normal circumstances, with the C-rank "brute force" of the waning moon, he still has no ability to smash the heavy gate of Weidongguan for the time being. It's just that just now, the Eight Bull Crossbow shot several flaming giant arrows at this gate, and it was burned by the fire for a while, and the gate of Weidong Pass was already burned to the crisp and crumbling. At this moment, he smashed two or three hammers in a row, and immediately scattered into fragments, continuing to burn.

Behind the East China Sea team, the East China Sea has come out of the open space in front of the pass, and is clearing out the rebels in front of the pass, who have completely lost their organization. At this moment, seeing that the gate of the tail Dongguan had been smashed open by the dreamer, several generals of the Eastern Navy immediately gathered their hands and leaned over here.

"Don't mess around!" Seeing that the soldiers of the Eastern Navy had already risen and were eager to rush into the Weidong Pass, Zhang Wei had to temporarily take up the work of the organization.

It is good to have high morale and self-confidence, but a mature army pays attention to advancing and retreating in a measured manner, and must not mess up its own rules because of winning battles. At present, the Eastern Navy can only be regarded as victorious, and has not yet won a final victory. There are many examples in history of reversal of victory into defeat, which is caused by the tragedy caused by the winning side losing control of the opponent's subordinates.

"Second Tiger, you guys are trapped in the camp first! According to the tactics laid out in advance, they rushed wherever there were many people, and broke up the rebel organization. Chen Chuang, your second battalion will then follow up, responsible for answering and covering the 'trapped camp'. Remember, unorganized stragglers don't kill, and those who lay down their arms don't kill. Wu Qiang stayed here and continued to clear out the rebels outside, and he must not let these people enter Dongwei Pass. ”

Under his command, several commanders finally calmed down a little and took orders to start moving.

Li Erhu was particularly excited to be the first to enter the customs as a pioneer, and had long forgotten that the people he was about to face were once his colleagues. He just wants to make a good start for his first battle in the Eastern Navy, you must know that Zhang Wei lied to him a few days ago that he didn't have the opportunity to "fall into the camp" in this battle, he only regarded it as an unexpected joy, and wanted to take advantage of it.

In fact, the Eastern Navy currently has only 1,500 men and horses in Dongwei Pass, and one-third of them are newly surrendered rebels.

This is just a small ploy that the dream man used on Li Erhu according to Liu Yuanzhi's suggestion, intended to stimulate his fighting spirit and make him completely forget his former identity.

Now it seems that this trick has succeeded, Li Erhu copied two plate axes and shouted and shouted with his "trapped camp" to kill in Weidongguan, who cares about the friendship of past colleagues, even if he is asked to meet his old boss Du Ziteng, he can still chop through with an axe.

Excluding 1,000 soldiers and horses and 500 heavy troops in the open space in front of the pass, there are still 4,000 soldiers and horses in the Weidong Pass, which is more than twice the size of the East Navy. Even if hundreds of people burned to death in the barracks set off by the rockets just now, the rebels still had the advantage in numbers.

But the advantage in numbers is not necessarily the advantage in combat effectiveness, and the rebel soldiers still look like they haven't woken up even now, and many people run out without even finding their weapons. All they saw was a sea of fire, and it seemed that there were soldiers of the Eastern Navy everywhere, but their own generals were nowhere to be found.

A group of rebel generals, including Du Ziteng, were now on fire in their stomachs, and they heard the noise in front of the pass not long after they fell asleep. finally put down his heart and ignored it and fell asleep again, but he was woken up by the noise of crying father and mother. When I got up and looked, I saw a fire in front of me, and a large camp tent was connected into a sea of fire.

The soldiers could not find their superiors, the generals could not find their men, and all the rebels were fighting on their own. Although they all knew that the Eastern Navy liked to engage in night raids, who would have thought that in the end they still couldn't avoid this hurdle.

Du Ziteng stood far away in a camp behind Weidong Pass, looking at the rebels in the distance, and heard the approaching shouts of killing, knowing that the general trend had gone. After the battle of Wanghui City, he knew the strength of the Eastern Navy better than any of the rebel generals present, whether it was those perverted dream men or well-trained soldiers, once they were allowed to win, it would quickly turn into a final victory.

After calling the adjutant general beside him, he ordered, "Gather our men and horses, withdraw!" ”

Because he lost his foundation in the south and lost most of his troops, Du Ziteng's position in the rebels was plummeting, if he hadn't returned to the central part of Weixian in time and cooperated with the main force of the rebels to defeat Li Wei's Lizhou army, I am afraid that he would have been deprived of military power. Even so, the soldiers and horses at his disposal were reduced to five hundred, and they were arranged two miles behind Weidong Pass.

The living conditions here are far worse than those in the Kannai, and there is hardly a flat land for them to set up tents, so they have to manage to level the ground on their own. Moreover, their three meals are half an hour later than those in the Guannai, and it is not too much to say that they are leftovers. It's just that he didn't expect that the worst position at the beginning became an advantage for Du Ziteng to escape at this moment, and he really didn't know what to say.

Riding on his horse, he glanced back at the fiery Weidongguan, and he led his team to evacuate here.

The battle in Weidong Pass is also coming to an end at this moment, and although the "trapped camp" has not yet completed all of Zhang Wei's training, these soldiers who have learned some practical tricks are no longer the same.

Of course, the most important thing is that they are facing a group of rebel soldiers who are almost ineffective, and lack of sleep leads to low spirits and low mood, and they have already lost three points before they can fight. On the eve of the general attack, they were attacked and broken, which directly caused the morale of the rebels to fall to the bottom.

Under such circumstances, the "trapped camp" rushed and killed a few back and forth in the Weidong Pass, and did not encounter decent resistance at all. And Chen Chuang, the second battalion who followed them, had almost nothing to do, so he could only pick up a few small fish and shrimp that Li Erhu had left behind to seek comfort.

Compared with the few rebel diehards who rose up to resist, more people chose to flee for their lives, and they didn't know where their bosses were now. And a certain number of rebels chose to believe the Eastern Navy's chanting of "disarm or kill", threw their weapons and obediently squatted aside to wait for them to be absorbed after the war.

After about two hours, there were basically no rebels resisting in the East Pass, and a large number of noisy footsteps were heard again in the direction of the East End Pass.

Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang looked at each other and smiled, "Li Wei is finally here." ”

Sima Fuqiang thought about it, turned his head and called the first battalion of Wuqiang who had already entered the customs later, "Have you packed up the Eight Bull Crossbow?" ”

Wu Qiang nodded, "Yes, my lord, according to your orders, after all the rockets are fired, arrange for fifty baggage soldiers to disassemble the Eight Ox Crossbows into the warehouse, so that Li Wei will not see them." ”
