After watching for a while, Lu Kai said faintly: "My lord, it seems that there is a reason why the remnants of the Red Army retreated to the pass city, although there is no moat outside the pass city, but the city defense itself is very perfect, and the inner and outer walls are two layers of walls, one high and one short, echoing each other from afar, this battle ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to fight!"

Ding Feng asked, "How many defenders are there in the city?"

Tong Lei and Shao Lin both said: "At least above 100,000." ”

Ding Feng nodded, stretched out his hand, compared a few times with the city in front of him, and said: "No matter how you look at it, the pass is a small city, even if there is not a single common person in the city, it is all army, and it seems crowded to garrison 100,000 troops, what I want to know is, where are the grain and grass hoarded by these 100,000 troops? Since the Red Army is going to fight a war of attrition, then the hoarding of grain and grass will definitely not be less, but such a small city, how much grain can be hoarded?"

Shao Lin subconsciously asked, "General Ding thinks ...... Will the enemy's food and grass be hoarded outside the city?"

Ding Feng immediately shook his head and said: "Of course it is impossible, once the battle starts, our army will surround the pass, and if the enemy army hoards grain and grass outside the city, there is no chance to transport it in again." ”

Lu Kai nodded and continued: "Yes, the pass city is too small, and it is already difficult to garrison an army of 100,000, where is there so much place to hoard a large amount of grain and grass?"

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, glanced at the two of them, the corners of his mouth raised, and said with a smile: "Don't speculate anymore, it's easy to figure out what's going on, tear open the city defense of the pass for me, and lead our soldiers into the city for me!"

Everyone's faces were straight, and Ding Feng and Lu Kai asked in unison, "When are you going to attack the city?"

"Camp and rest today, and early tomorrow morning, our army will attack the city with all its might, what do you two think?"

"The last general obeys!" Ding Feng and Lu Kai had no objection. At the same time, he gave up his life.

The next day, the Jin army began a large-scale attack on Guankou City, which was also the last battle between the Jin army and the remnants of the Red Army in Chidi.

During the attack, the Jin army did not reserve any reservations, and carried out all the large weapons in the army and set them up around the pass city. Deliver sustained long-range strikes.

With the full opening of the battle line, the soldiers of the Jin army began to line up in a neat phalanx and advance forward, and when the Jin army advanced to the pass city of 100 steps, the counterattack of the pass city also followed.

Stone bullets from the stone throwers flew out of the city, and arrows were shot down from the city, all of which caused great damage to the Jin army.

The soldiers of the Jin army braved the rain of arrows and stone bullets to advance under the city walls, and people either erected ladders or pushed towers. Forcibly charge the head of the castle at the pass gate.

Of course, the small size of the city also has its advantages, especially when the enemy is outnumbered, at this time, the attacking side cannot be fully developed, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not fully developed, and the defender's defense line is not stretched too long, and there are obvious weaknesses.

In this battle, the two sides fought extremely fiercely.

The attacking Jin army was as ferocious as ever. The Red Army defending the city showed tenacious fighting spirit and defended the city. I'd rather die than retreat half a step.

In the course of the battle, it can also be seen that the Red Army has already made perfect preparations for war, and the rolling wood, stones, fire oil and other things necessary to defend the city seem to be inexhaustible and endless, and they are constantly thrown down, pushing back the strong attacks of the Jin army again and again.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, the Jin army organized a total of five onslaughts on all fronts. As a result, they were all repulsed by the Red Army, and when it was dark, the Jin Army still made no progress.

The battle was unfavorable, and it was getting late, so Ding Feng and Lu Kai both thought that their side should not fight again. Lin Haotian asked for his life, withdrew his troops for the time being, and waited for tomorrow to fight again.

Lin Haotian did not insist, and immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw his troops.

Although the battle on the first day was not successful, the morale of the Jin army was not affected in the slightest, and the generals of the Jin army led by Lin Haotian were also optimistic.

The defenders' unrestrained use of city defense weapons such as rolling logs, stones, and fire oil is simply not long-lasting, and even if a small city is fully prepared, the hoarding of these resources is limited after all, and so much is used in the first day of fighting, what else will they use next?

Ding Feng even dared to assert that if today's consumption continued, the hoarding of rolling logs, rocks and other materials in the pass city would be enough for another three days, of course, his inference was not a random speculation, but a talk of experience.

Early the next morning, the Jin army's attack was launched again, still attacking from all sides, still a full-scale attack, and in the same way, the defenders still released arrow formations regardless of losses, throwing rolling logs and rocks, and repelled the Jin army's strong attack again and again.

This day's siege was almost a replica of the first day, and the Jin army made no progress, but it also consumed a large number of city defense reserves in the pass city.

In the battle of Guankou City, the Jin army's strong attack was five days, and in the past five days, the Jin army attacked the city every day, and the offensive became more and more fierce day by day, but the defenders in the city were still tenacious, and the strength of the counterattack was getting stronger and stronger.

The most incredible thing is that there are so many rolling logs and stones in the city that it has been fought for five days beyond people's imagination, and the defensive resources in the city are still sufficient, and the rolling logs, stones, and fire oil are thrown outside the city by the defenders as if they are endless.

In the five days of fierce fighting, the Jin army can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and three of the main attacking corps have already been defeated.

Of course, Lin Haotian was extremely dissatisfied with such a battle situation, and after the siege on the fifth day, he gathered all the generals overnight to discuss countermeasures.

After everyone arrived, Lin Haotian spoke first and asked: "It's just a small city, and our army's four legions haven't taken half a step in the city after five days of strong attack, everyone, shouldn't you all talk about it, how did this battle go?"

The generals looked at each other, and then bowed their heads one by one. At the beginning, they had already guessed that this battle would not be easy to fight, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult.

First, the elite of the Red Army defending the city has extremely high morale, and the Red Army without fighting spirit is not worth mentioning at all, but if the Red Army has fighting spirit, then they are an iron wall in terms of the equipment of the Red Army.

Secondly, a large number of chivalrous men were mixed in the Red Army, and these people played a decisive role in the Red Army, which raised the overall combat strength of the Red Army by more than one or two grades.

Thirdly, and most importantly, the Red Army's reserves of urban defense resources are unexpected. It's such an insignificant little town. How did they store so many rolling logs, stones, and fire oil, which even experienced generals like Ding Feng and Lu Kai, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, felt unbelievable and couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Haotian slapped the table and shouted: "What's the matter? Are you dumb? What did you say at the beginning? The rolling logs and stones in the pass city are enough for three days at best, but now they are all on the fifth day." The Red Army's rolling logs and rocks are still being used endlessly!"

Ding Feng's old face turned red, he raised his head, and said in a low voice: "My lord, so this city is weird and unconventional, our army ...... We should take a break and wait for the situation in the city to be clarified, and then make corresponding arrangements......"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Haotian's fist was clenched first, and he asked rhetorically: "When will it be? Who will be sent to find out the situation in the city? My hundreds of thousands of troops can't get in." Who can get in?"

Ding Feng was silent, yes, judging from the current situation, how easy is it to sneak into the city and find out the enemy's situation! Thinking about it, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Is there still a stronghold of the Red Army near Guankou City?"

Tong Lei and Shao Lin looked at each other. Shuangshuang shook his head and said, "A hundred miles away." Even the entire Chikou County no longer has the remnants of the Red Army, and the Red Army only has a stronghold like Guankou City. ”

Ding Feng muttered, "In this way, there will be no one to secretly send rolling logs and stones to the city......

Tong Lei's eyes rolled and said: "It can't be said that there is no enemy within a radius of 100 miles here, ten miles south of the pass is the territory of Yan Guo, and Yan Guo has gathered more than 200,000 troops at the border. However, the Yan army never crossed the border between the two countries, and it was impossible for them to secretly transport rolling wood, stones, and grain and grass to the pass city. ”

Lin Haotian waved his hand and said, "It is normal for the Yan army to gather troops on the border, they are afraid that our army will defeat the Red Kingdom. Then continue southward and invade the territory of the Yan country. ”

"Yes! The brothers who went to investigate also reciprocated, the Red Army at the border has been on guard, and has not taken the initiative to attack. Tong Lei replied.

"Don't take the topic away, we're talking about Guankou City now, not the Red Army in the Red Country!" Lin Haotian took a deep breath, stood up, paced back and forth in the Chinese military tent, and muttered as he walked: "If you want to figure out the situation in the city, it's not impossible, tomorrow, I have to go to the war in person......"

Everyone present was shocked, and asked, "Your Excellency wants to attack the city in person?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Lin Haotian said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, I will go out with the First Legion, Extraordinary, Wuya, Guanhe, you three help me to tear apart the city defense at the entrance!"

"The last general will obey the order!" Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya, and Guan He all intervened to receive the order.

Zhang Bufan came to Yankou County with the First Army, in the battle against the Red Army, Zhang Bufan followed the First Army and never fought a hard battle, who knew that the Red Kingdom Imperial Court had collapsed, but here in Yankou County, he encountered a hard bone that was difficult to gnaw.

On the sixth day of the Battle of Pass, the Jin army once again went out with all its troops to launch a full-scale siege of Passpass City.

However, this time, because of Lin Haotian's personal participation in the battle, the momentum of the Jin army's attack was even more fierce, especially the first army where Lin Haotian was, when he moved forward, the soldiers below rushed forward like crazy.

As soon as he entered the 100 paces of the pass city, the stone throwers and arrow arrays in the city flew in.

Looking at the stone bullets whistling in the air, Lin Haotian sighed secretly while dodging, who would have thought that the stone bullets stored by his four legions had been exhausted, and there were still stone bullets available in the pass city, could it be that the city defense resources of the Red Army were conjured out of thin air? This time I have to figure it out no matter what.

When he entered the pass city fifty steps, the oncoming arrows had become more and more dense, and even Lin Haotian could no longer protect his war horse at this time, so he could only jump off the horse and move forward on foot.

Lin Haotian rushed to the front position, and with his skills, he only rushed to the bottom of the city wall when he was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and the situation of the other Jin soldiers can be imagined.

When he approached the city wall, Lin Haotian immediately felt the existence of the underworld.

The pressure of the underworld emanated from the head of the city, forming an invisible resistance in the air, which not only prevented the demonic warriors in the Jin army, but also greatly affected the speed of the soldiers of the Jin army besieging the city.

This is the advantage of having many underworld warriors, and they don't care about the little aura that is lost when casting the underworld.

Without personally participating in the battle, he couldn't understand the difficulty of attacking Guankou City, and now Lin Haotian could finally understand why his hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't defeat such a small city for a long time.

He took a long breath, put away the long sword in his hand, and gathered his strength. He jumped up and jumped more than two meters high, and when he was exhausted, he grabbed the city wall with both hands, and he heard a click, and the palms covered with armor were like two extremely sharp hooks. Deeply embedded in the bricks of the city walls.

His figure had just hung on the city wall, and before he had time to climb up, he had already attracted the attention of a large number of Red soldiers at the head of the city, and he heard a loud shout, and then the arrows shot down continuously.

Lin Haotian gritted his teeth, and his body was close to the city wall, like a gecko, moving sideways. An arrow shot down from the dodge side.

He was fast enough, but he was still affected by the arrows, two arrows in his arm, and one in the top of his head, and his armor was clanged by the powerful shots from close range, and the sparks exploded.

Lin Haotian had just dodged the first wave of arrow arrays, and the second wave of arrow arrays arrived.

The hard bow is a condescending shot, and the power is great. Each arrow had to exceed 100 catties, and even Lin Haotian couldn't withstand it continuously.

In a series of crunching sounds of arrows striking armor. Lin Haotian's body attached to the city wall was shot down hard, and when he landed, he was still holding two large handfuls of gravel in his palm.

Seeing this, the two nearby Jin soldiers hurriedly rushed forward, raised their shields in their hands, and blocked the arrows of the Red Army.

Lin Haotian lay on the ground. First he took a deep breath, then his eyes narrowed, and a carp stood up, and he shot like lightning, grabbing the two golden soldiers beside him. With all your might, throw it outward.

At the moment when he shook off the two golden soldiers, three stones fell in a row from the head of the city, which were impartial and impartial, and all smashed on Lin Haotian and himself.

"Bang, bang, bang!" the three falling rocks smashed firmly.

The first falling rock hit Lin Haotian's shoulder, smashing his straight waist and bending it down, the second falling stone smashed on his back, smashing him to his knees, and the third falling stone hit him directly on the top of his head, causing his figure to fall to the ground.

With his cultivation in the Nether God Realm, after bearing three falling rocks in a row, he felt dizzy, and for a moment, his mind was blank.

Seeing this, the two golden soldiers who were thrown out by him screamed and rushed back, rushed to Lin Haotian's approach, and used their strength to move the falling rocks that were pressing on him away.

It's just that the two of them have just moved away from the falling rocks, and the arrow array above their heads has arrived, this time Lin Haotian has no strength left to save the two of them, and the two golden soldiers were instantly shot into hedgehogs under the dense arrow array, and their bodies were full of carved feathers, but until they died, both of them pounced on Lin Haotian and used their bodies to block arrows for him.

This is the cruelty of the battlefield, where fresh life becomes a bloody corpse in the blink of an eye.

Lin Haotian pushed away the corpse that was pressing on him, and the tiger eyes also turned scarlet due to congestion. He roared, regained his strength, and bounced to his feet, his body clinging to the wall, and in the same way, he was still subjected to the concentrated arrows of the Red Army, and the blackened arrows flew down from the top of his head and to the left and right.

This time, his palm was inserted deeper into the bricks of the wall, and almost the entire palm of his hand was submerged into it, so that it could withstand the constant impact of the arrows.

The dense array of arrows pinned to his armor clanged so hard that there was almost no break, and the arrows kept coming at him.

Lin Haotian's body was fixed on the city wall, but his armor began to be unable to withstand it, under the continuous impact of arrows, cracks appeared in the armor, and if he continued to stiffen up, not only could he not rush to the city, but his own armor had to be shattered first.

In desperation, he had no choice but to withdraw his hands from the bricks of the city wall, and his body hanging on the city wall was shot down again. When he landed, he picked up a shield and looked up at the arrows above his head.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and looked left and right, and saw that a cloud ladder not far away from his side was being pushed away by the defenders at the head of the city, and his brothers who were climbing in front of him were falling from mid-air one after another.

Lin Haotian didn't think about it, he rushed forward quickly, and yelled at the soldiers of the Jin Army who were about to re-erect the ladder: "You all get out of the way!"

Seeing that the person who shouted was an adult, the people hurriedly retreated to both sides.

Lin Haotian rushed to the front of the ladder, and the ladder that was three zhang away and weighed 100 catties was actually carried in by him with one hand.

He didn't hesitate for a moment, he held the shield in one hand, drew his sword with the other, and at the same time jumped over the cloud ladder and rushed straight to the head of the city.

Lin Haotian is not climbing on the ladder, but jumping, his body is vertical, he will burst out of one meter, and then vertically, and he can leap out of one meter, just a few ups and downs, he is only three meters away from the city.

The Red Army at the head of the city also noticed him, and the people hissed and shouted: "There is an enemy general rushing forward, release the arrows, release the arrows quickly!" With the roar of the Red Army, the arrows came again.

Lin Haotian's body on the cloud ladder immediately shrunk into a ball, and he put the shield above his head.

"Jingle Bell!"

The arrows were constantly nailed to the shield, and although the shield body left countless dents, it also helped Lin Haotian block most of the arrows.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Haotian climbed another meter, and at this moment, the city was full of smoke, and I saw two red soldiers carrying a large pot of fire oil to the city head, making a gesture to dump it on Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian's heart trembled, he didn't even think about it, he used the shield in his hand as a dart, and shook his hand to throw it out.

"Huh!"

The shield swirled in the air, turning into a flash of lightning, which struck the neck of a red soldier, and the red soldier's neck snapped in response, and the head bounced high and rolled to the ground.

As the corpses of the Red Soldiers fell, the oil pot filled with fire oil also tilted, and a large pot of fire oil was all sprinkled on the city, and the nearby Red Soldiers were affected by it. (To be continued......)
