Just when the fierce battle between the two armies was in full swing, a wind army suddenly rushed over from the direction of Xibu Mountain, this wind army did not have many troops, only about 2,000 people, but it was like a sharp sword, and it was deeply inserted from the side of the camp of the Ningnan army.

A member of the wind general, holding a heavenly tiger spear, is like entering a no-man's land in the camp of the Ningnan Army. In the fierce battle, there were countless soldiers of the Ningnan Army who died in his hands alone.

This wind army opened the camp of the Ningnan Army from half of the waist and divided it into two sections, front and back, and it was difficult to echo at the end. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements and the inexorable tearing apart of the camp of the Ningnan army, the morale of the Feng army was greatly boosted, and people began to fight back.

In the first half of the Ningnan army divided in the first half of the only 10,000 people, where can it block the onslaught of more than 50,000 wind troops, the more than 10,000 Ningnan army almost all died, was divided in the second half of the Ningnan army saw that the rout in front had been in the trend of collapse, did not dare to continue the battle, the rear team became the front team, and retreated backwards.

The sneak attack of the wind army was willing to let them go, and the wind general with the spirit spear led the army to chase and kill, and chased the remaining more than 10,000 Ningnan troops out of five miles away in one go, until Tang Wanyun sent someone to urgently recruit them to retreat, this wind army stopped chasing and returned victorious.

The wind general who led this wind army was none other than Guangfang.

The Zhenjun army went to Ningnan, and Guangfang also wanted to participate, but Shangguan Xiu was worried about the gap between the two and was afraid that he would do something bad, so he did not allow him to go along. Guangfang stayed in Zhenjun, and the more he thought about it, the more he became angry, so he simply left Xijing and went to Tianmen Mountain. The fastest, the newer, the newest

There were originally several bandit dens in Tianmen Mountain, but later they were all surrendered by Guangfang, Guangfang went to Tianmen Mountain, responded to all the mountain bandits entrenched in Tianmen Mountain, and then he took a group of mountain bandits who were incorporated into it, left Tianmen Mountain, went to Xibu Mountain outside the pass, and went there to follow the wind army to Tuntian.

Guangfang is a simple-minded person with a very heavy childishness, and what he does cannot be inferred by common sense, he completely wants to do it one by one.

Since Shangguan Xiu didn't look down on him, he had to find a place to make some achievements, so that Shangguan Xiu could take a look, he didn't give it for nothing.

In Zhenjun, there was no place where he could show his strength, and his eyes naturally fell on the side of Xibu Mountain.

Although Guangfang did not have a specific official position in the Zhenjun Army, he was strong in spirit and martial arts, and with more than 2,000 hands, after arriving at Xibu Mountain, he quickly replaced Xu Rui's position and became the new commander of Xibu Mountain.

The news of the defeat of the Zhenjun army in Ningnan and the defeat all the way back was also heard by Guangfang in Xibu Mountain, and later the Zhenjun army and the Ningnan army happened to fight near Xibu Mountain, and how could Guangfang miss this good opportunity to show himself, with more than 2,000 mountain bandits he recruited, he suddenly killed and attacked the flank of the Ningnan army, resulting in the rapid defeat of the Ningnan army.

Repelling the pursuing troops of the Ningnan army and making the Ningnan army lose more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, this can only be regarded as an insignificant small victory, but for the Feng army, which has suffered defeats and routs all the way recently, it is exciting enough, and it is also very angry.

After Tang Wanyun saw Guangfang, she praised his performance. Seeing the excited, adoring and awe-inspiring gazes cast by the officers and men of the whole army, Guangfang felt that it was still very good to serve in the army for the first time, and he also found a sense of belonging in the Zhenjun army for the first time, and was also recognized by his comrades.

Then, the remnants of the Feng army naturally retreated back to the pass, and the garrison of Xibu Mountain also temporarily retreated, avoiding the edge of the Ningnan army and the Shah coalition army.

The 3rd and 4th Army Corps of the Zhenjun Army, led by Zhan Xiong and An Yifu, were all hoarded inside and outside Huya Pass, assuming a posture of strict defense and fighting to the death with the enemy.

After Tang Wanyun led his troops into Huya Pass, he began to count all his losses.

The 14th Army Corps of the Central Army led by Tang Wanyun was completely annihilated, and only a few generals remained, the 1st Army of the Zhenjun Army led by Shangguan Xiu had 12,000 people left, and the 2nd Army Corps led by Luo Ren had 45,000 people left, and the large baggage of the two armies was lost.

In the battle in the south of Ningnan, the Wind Army had a total of three legions, and almost all of them were wiped out. The most fatal point is that Shangguan Xiu, the founder of the Zhenjun Army and the chief general of the Zhenjun Army, disappeared. This was far greater for the Zhenjun army than the loss of two legions.

When the Zhenjun army retreated, they sent a large number of spies, disguised as civilians, to inquire about Shangguanxiu in Ningnan, but the news they collected was many and mixed, some news said that Shangguanxiu had been killed in battle, some news said that Shangguanxiu had been captured, and some news that Shangguanxiu had fled back to the country of wind.

The Zhenjun army can't be sure which news is true and which news is false, in short, Shangguan Xiu just can't see anyone alive or dead, and no one knows where he went. When the Zhenjun army was in a hurry to investigate where Shangguanxiu was, the brigade of the Ningnan army attacked outside Huya Pass.

On the first day, the Ningnan Army did not attack Huya Pass in an overall situation, and only sent a small group of soldiers to make a feint attack to spy on the reality of Huya Pass. The army rested for a day, and the next day, the Ningnan army launched an all-army attack. As the attacking side, the Ningnan Army had two corps, and the two corps of the Shah coalition army assisted them in the battle, with a total of four corps and 400,000 men. On the side of the Feng Army, there are the remnants of the First and Second Army Corps of the Zhenjun Army, with more than 50,000 people, and the Third and Fourth Organized Corps, with a total of 2.56 million people.

In the fierce battle on the second day, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, in the morning the Shah coalition army was the main attacking side, and at noon, the Shah coalition army was replaced and the Ningnan army was the main attack.

Don't look at the tiger tooth pass is not big, but the terrain is unique, located in the ravine between the two mountains, the defenders in the city only need to defend against the enemy on the west side of the city.

Shangguan Xiu was not there, and Luo Ren temporarily took over as the commander of the Zhenjun Army. Luo Ren personally climbed the city gate tower and commanded the wind army to fight, the two sides fought from morning to night, and when it was dark, the soldiers really couldn't move, and the Ningnan army withdrew its troops.

On the third day, the Ningnan army and the Shah coalition army attacked the city early in the morning and took turns to fight.

The Shah coalition army is an army of several tribes together, each hiding its own selfishness, and when attacking the city, it is also passing the buck to each other, all counting on the other party to work hard, the other party to send them to death, and they stay behind to enjoy their success, the Shah people's combat power is not weak, and it may not be good to fight a frontal legion battle, and it is still very powerful to fight a tough battle, but in this kind of psychology that you count on me and I count on you, the combat effectiveness cannot be played at all. In siege warfare, they are thundering loudly and raining little, and pose little threat to the wind army. What really made the Feng army feel the pressure was the offensive of the Ningnan army. Seeing the Shah coalition army attacking, for the Feng army, this is simply a break between battles, and seeing the Ningnan army attacking, the Feng army will have to fight with all its might.

The Ningnan Army and the Shah Coalition Army attacked Huya Pass for three days in a row, and the city defense of Huya Pass was already impregnable, and the Ningnan Army and the Shah Coalition Army failed to cross the Lei Chi half a step.

On the fifth day, the tide of battle had finally changed. The logistical baggage of the Ningnan Army has arrived.

This batch of baggage not only contained a large number of guns, but also transported hundreds of guns. These two things can be called a sharp weapon for siege of the city, especially artillery, and the effect of breaking the city defense is many times better than that of a catapult.

As the Ningnan army used artillery and guns in siege warfare, the situation of the two sides was evenly matched.

In the salvo of hundreds of artillery, the west city wall of Huya Pass was blown up everywhere, and even the city gate was smashed by the big iron balls shot out by the artillery, and the city walls in many places were smashed and collapsed, and the original impregnable city defense collapsed in an instant.

As the commander of the whole army, Luo Ren made a quick decision, so that the soldiers of the whole army could retreat into the city, let the southern army of Ning enter the city, and his own side and the enemy fought hand-to-hand combat in the alleys of the city.

The Feng army abandoned the city defense, and the Ningnan army and the Shah coalition army outside the city poured into the city like a tide, and then, the two sides launched a life-and-death white-knuckle battle on the streets and alleys of Huya Pass.

This battle turned Huya Pass into a hell on earth, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides stained almost every corner of the city. In the end, the Feng Army relied on its tenacious fighting spirit to beat the Ningnan Army and the Shah Coalition Army out of the Tiger Tooth Pass.

A day of fierce fighting finally came to an end, with heavy casualties on both sides. At this time, the generals of the Zhenjun army suggested to Luo Ren that Huya Pass could no longer stand it, and the city defense was bombarded by the enemy's artillery, and the next battle could not be continued.

Even An Yifu felt that it was time to retreat.

However, Luo forbearance was reluctant to withdraw his troops, and his reasons were very simple: first, he had to be responsible for Shangguan Xiu and would never let foreign enemies step into the territory of Zhenjun; second, in the situation of such a huge geographical advantage as Huya Pass, his own side could not hold it, so which city of Zhenjun could he still defend? Now as long as he retreats, his own spirit will be discharged, and he can only retreat again and again, and there will be no end. Therefore, even if it is a soldier to the end, you must stick to the tiger tooth pass and must not retreat a step.

The battlefield is the place where a person matures the fastest. When a battle came, seeing so many lives and deaths, Luo Ren was also growing rapidly.

Which is more important, what battles can not be fought, and what battles must be fought to the end, he has his own scale in his heart, and he also has his own bottom line.

At Luo Ren's insistence, the Zhenjun army did not give up Huya Pass in the end.

The Ningnan army withdrew to the camp, and the generals in the army also held a meeting overnight to review, why their own side was completely superior in weapons and had completely destroyed the city defense of Huya Pass, but was still beaten back by the Feng army, and why they failed to capture Huya Pass.

To sum up, first, the wind army has a large number of troops, second, the wind army is brave and tenacious in combat, and third, and the most critical point, fighting in the streets is not conducive to one's own side, and one's own artillery and firearms advantages cannot be brought into play at all. After drawing these three conclusions, then it is very simple to formulate tactics, the first and second points cannot be changed by the Ningnan army, but the third point, they have the ability to change, the generals of the Ningnan army unanimously agreed to use artillery to blow up the Huya Pass, so that the wind army in the city has no street fighting to fight.
