To the east of Xiaonanshan Pass, the vanguard army camp.

The leopard sat in the big tent and frowned, and was intercepted several times along the way, and was finally blocked by the dwarf lion in the Xiaonanshan Pass.

Although the vanguard army is elite, it has no engineering equipment, and if it wants to rely on simple climbing ladders to seize the pass, it will suffer great losses.

If it weren't for the Jinyi Guard of the Fire Raven Army coming to the door, he would have planned to spare Huaibei County.

"General!" Yang Chuan, a hundred households of the Jinyi Guard, ran in with an excited expression with a small note in his hand: "The Flying Bear Battalion sent a message that the three-headed eagle had an accident, and it will take at least three days to return."

General Xiong had already set off half an hour ago with the 10,000 Flying Bear Battalion, and it was estimated that he would be able to arrive at the West Gate of Xiaonan Pass when it was dark.

He suggested that we immediately send troops, feint to attack the east gate of Xiaonanshan Pass, wait until the Flying Bear Battalion arrives, and take advantage of the night to attack on both sides and take Xiaonanshan Pass in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay, great, beat the drum and gather the generals immediately!" The leopard was overjoyed when he heard this, took the secret letter, read it in three or two clicks, and the depression on his face was swept away.

"Xiao Qi is worthy of being a person who does big things, and he arranged the strange soldier of the Flying Bear Battalion early, even the general can't believe it until now. ”

"Hou Ye's strategy, unpredictable, three-headed eagles, dwarf lions and the like, where will it be an opponent!"

He was originally a charlatan, he was imprisoned, where did he think that a big pie fell from the sky, and he turned into a hundred households of Jinyiwei.

I admire and thank Li Wenhao in my heart, and I admire Li Wenhao's insight and discovery of such a talent.

I am grateful, I used to be a liar without a license, but now I am a liar with a license, which not only satisfies his interests and hobbies, but also has face, where to find such a good thing.

"General!" Yang Chuan paused, frowned slightly, and said, "There are many soldiers in the barracks who are reluctant to go to Langya because they are concerned about their families.

It's better to keep this matter secret for the time being. ”

"Well, I know!" Canleopard nodded, the joy on his face vanishing.

Although the forward battalion was brought out by him, most of the soldiers were from Qingyang County, so how could they not care about their families.

Moreover, the people of the Central Plains pay attention to loyalty and love reputation, and no one wants to bear the infamy of a traitor.

Fortunately, he defected to the Marquis of Langya, although Li Wenhao announced his departure from the Li family, but the Qingyang Li family did not admit it, and declared that Li Wenhao was still the Li family, but there was just a misunderstanding.

Therefore, he led the team to defect to Li Wenhao, which was not considered a mutiny, and the soldiers could barely accept it.

The Li family in Qingyang was afraid of Li Wenhao, and they never threatened the families of the soldiers.

"General!" After a while, dozens of generals walked into the big tent and bowed.

Most of them are okay, their expressions are relatively calm, and there are a small number of generals, headed by Qianhu Zhang He, whose faces are not very good-looking, and they seem to be not as respectful as before.

"Get up!"

Seeing this, Kanbao raised his hand and motioned to everyone in unison, his expression was a little gloomy: "The generals listened to the order and immediately gathered the whole army to attack Xiaonanshan Pass..." ”

"General can't, our army lacks craftsmen and doesn't have enough siege equipment, how can we attack the city?"

"Yes, just by a few ladders, the casualties of the brothers will be very large. ”

"It's the lion general who guards the pass, although there are only 5,000 defenders, it is impossible to attack it easily, so it's better to think in the long run!"

Without waiting for Kanbao to finish speaking, the generals in the account shouted one after another, some of them were sincerely thinking about the war, and Zhang He and others from thousands of households just had other plans to delay time.

When the army of Qingyang Hou surrounds it, everything will be closed.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!" Kan Bao frowned, his face became more and more ugly, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "Tonight, the generals will fight hard to attack the city, whether they can capture Xiaonanshan Pass or not, after this battle, those who want to leave can leave on their own." ”

"General, don't do it, please think twice!"

"General, as soon as this case is opened, I'm afraid that a small half of the people will leave!"

"The general is benevolent and righteous, we will attack the city with all our might!"

As soon as the order was given, the generals were in an uproar, and most of them tried their best to dissuade them, only Zhang He and others were overjoyed and accepted the order loudly.

Kanbao is usually very creditworthy, so everyone has no doubts.

"General, you are too merciful!" When the generals left, Gu Sihu, the new deputy commander of the vanguard army, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Benevolence, that was before, my Kanbao is no longer the former Kanbao?" Kanbao's face was cold, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of hideousness: "Arrange it down, let Zhang He and those people take the lead, if they want to leave, let's talk about it if they can survive!"

"Obey!" Gu Sihu comprehended, his eyes lit up, and he left excitedly with his fists clenched.

Gu Sihu is different from other generals, he is not from Qingyang County, and he has no good impression of the Li family in Qingyang, and he is 100% supportive of taking refuge in Langya Marquis.

"Boom, boom," half an hour later, the army left the camp, and Zhang He and others from Qianhu took the lead in attacking with a forward army of 5,000.

Xiaonanshan Pass is not an important checkpoint, that is, it became important after the three-headed eagle occupied Huixian.

The walls were all newly built, because it was not a frontal battlefield, and the defenders had only more than 3,000 people, and this was due to the arrival of the forward battalion, which increased to 5,000.

The leopard was lucky, on this day, the dwarf lion was not in Xiaonanshan Pass, but in the Qingyang army camp more than fifty miles away.

According to the idea of the short lion, it will take time for the leopard to build siege equipment, and it will not attack the city within two or three days, even if it is a siege, he will come in a hurry.

But he didn't expect that the subordinates of the three-headed eagle would come to attack back and forth, and they would carry a large number of siege equipment.

"Boom," Xiaonanshan closed, and the defenders lit torches, trebuchets, bed crossbows, and archers, shooting one after another.

Boulders, arrows, with a whistling sound that broke through the air, fell like flying locusts.

"Ah, rush!"

"Chong, as long as you kill the city, you can leave regardless of whether you win or lose!"

"Quick, get on the ladder and get up!"

The forward army, worthy of the elite of Qingyang, was not only well-trained, but also well-equipped, and rushed to the city under the attack like rain.

However, the defenders had a large number of defensive equipment, and for a while, the forward army besieging the city suffered heavy casualties, and thousands of people died.

"Zhang Qianhu, the brothers have suffered a lot of losses, why don't you withdraw first!"

"This is obviously using us as cannon fodder!" Several generals who were besieging the city couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to retreat.

"Can't withdraw, as long as you can kill the city, Canbao can't go back, we have five thousand people, even if half of them die, it's worth it." Qianhu Zhang He yelled, he only cared about whether he could get out smoothly, where would he care about the lives of other soldiers.

"Boom," the battle continued, and the number of casualties in the vanguard army increased, soon exceeding two thousand, and the effect was also amazing, and some of the soldiers had already stormed the city walls.

"General!" Under the handsome banner, the deputy commander Gu Sihu hurried over and whispered: "Zhang He and those people said that they had already attacked the city wall, and the casualties were too great, and they were shouting to withdraw." ”
