Lin Haotian first transferred Ling Hu Gao, the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, to the Third Army Corps, and let Ling Hu Gao and Tao Hua serve as the deputy commanders of the Third Army Corps.

The Fifth Army was originally a cannon fodder army, and as the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, the level was low, the risk was high, the good things could not be found, and the bad things were all borne. Ling Hu Gao had already done enough for the position of commander of the Fifth Legion, and when he heard that he was transferred to the Third Legion as the deputy commander, he was overjoyed and accepted it flutteringly.

transferred Ling Hugao, Lin Haotian and Jin Cheng and Song Yu were transferred to the Fifth Legion, and let the two of them serve as the chief and deputy commanders of the Fifth Legion. Jin Cheng has just joined the Jin Army, but his cultivation is profound, his martial arts are strong, his mind is also shrewd, and he has great potential, he is one of the young generals that Lin Haotian values very much.

It is difficult to lead the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, and it is also difficult to lead the Fifth Legion to fight, this is something that all the generals know, but they can be promoted by the adults, Jin Cheng and Song Yu are still very excited, no matter what, their names are no longer ordinary generals, but the commanders of the first army.

The reason why Lin Haotian transferred Ling Hu Gao away was actually very simple, mainly because he felt that Ling Hu Gao's luck was too bad and had been bad enough to affect the whole army.

After arranging this, Lin Haotian did not pause at all, and continued to move forward to capture Crouching Tiger Pass.

Crouching Tiger Pass is in a dangerous place, very easy to deploy, easy to defend and difficult to attack, when the Jin army rushed to Crouching Tiger Pass, the current approach, the Jin army officers and soldiers all gasped.

This pass is located on the high ground, the city wall is heightened to about three zhang three, and the two sides are also sandwiched by mountain streams, if you want to attack, there is no extra choice, you can only break through from the front, but a one-sided attack, and break through such a high city wall, how easy it is to say.

Even Zhang Bufan frowned after seeing it, shook his head and muttered: "This is simply the second Twin Peak City!"

After a while. The generals returned to their temporary garrison in silence, gathered together to discuss, and decided to set up camp first. This battle will be a tough battle, I don't know how long it will take, it is still necessary to set up a solid battalion first.

The generals had just finished deliberating, and had not yet dispersed. Lin Haotian arrived.

He first looked around at the generals, and then asked, "What do the generals think of this battle?"

Everyone was at each other, but Jin Cheng was the first to speak: "Crouching Tiger Pass is severe and abnormal, and the city defense is high and solid, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to fight Crouching Tiger Pass than Ningyang!"

"En!" the generals nodded one after another, indicating that what Jin Cheng said was right.

Dou Bo continued: "But fortunately, the wooden army does not have many troops, at best there are more than 30,000 people, if our army attacks for three days in a row." It is not a problem to take the Crouching Tiger Pass. ”

Lin Haotian smiled slightly, stretched out three fingers, and said, "Three days?

Dou Bo asked, "Do you think it will take longer?"

Lin Haotian shook his head and said confidently: "Within three hours, take the Crouching Tiger Pass." ”

Hearing this, everyone present was a little dumbfounded, even if it was an ordinary city, three hours might not be enough. It takes three hours to hit a checkpoint with steep terrain and high city defense, so how is it possible?

Lin Haotian understood everyone's thoughts. He took a breath and waved his hand: "Busha table!"

The Jin army didn't even set up camp, and naturally didn't prepare a sand table, so the guards could only temporarily find some stones and dirt to make a simple model of Crouching Tiger Pass.

After watching the guards rushing in and out, the corners of Lin Haotian's mouth raised. Youyou said: "Cao Xiong wants to defend Crouching Tiger Pass, he is extremely stupid, this is not a natural danger, but a place of death!"

People looked at each other and didn't understand why Lin Haotian said this. But no one dared to ask, so they could only wait for Lin Haotian to solve their doubts.

After the simple sand table arrangement was completed, Lin Haotian raised his head and said, "Jin Cheng and Song Yu, this battle will be handed over to the Fifth Legion led by the two of you, and I will wait behind and press the battle for the two of you." ”

"Pounce!"

Jin Cheng and Song Yu almost vomited blood, and let the Fifth Legion attack Crouching Tiger Pass, and the adults look up to the Fifth Legion too much, but they are afraid that Crouching Tiger Pass will not be defeated, and the Fifth Legion will be wiped out.

Seeing that the two of them had ugly faces and hung their heads without speaking, Lin Haotian looked up and laughed loudly and said, "As long as the two of you do what I do, three hours is enough to break through Crouching Tiger Pass." ”

"Oh?" Jin Cheng and Song Yu were shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by ......?"

Lin Haotian walked to the sand table, looked down slightly, then squatted down, picked up a stone, patted it on the left side of Crouching Tiger Pass, and said: "I will divide all the trebuchets of the whole army to your Fifth Legion, Jin Cheng, you lead half of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion to attack from the left side, and at a place about a mile away from Crouching Tiger Pass, don't move forward, at this time, you only need to throw stones, and launch as many as you want, just shoot them all in three hours." ”

As he spoke, he picked up another stone, patted it on the right side of Crouching Tiger Pass, and said: "Song Yu, you led the other half of the Fifth Army to attack the right road, and like the left road, you also stopped a mile away from Crouching Tiger Pass and shot all the stones for me!"

Jin Cheng and Song Yu looked at each other, swallowed their saliva in unison, and asked, "My lord, are you asking the two of me to smash down the wall of Crouching Tiger Pass?"

Without waiting for Lin Haotian to speak, Dou Bo on the side couldn't help but say: "It's not easy to smash down the city wall that has been reinforced, even if we have twice as many trebuchets, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"

Lin Haotian nodded and said, "That's right, it's useless to smash the city wall, so the target of the trebuchet is not the city wall of Crouching Tiger Pass." ”

"Where is that?" asked in unison.

Lin Haotian pointed to the stones on both sides of Crouching Tiger Pass, and said with a smile: "The target is the cliffs around Crouching Tiger Pass. Just now I have surveyed the terrain of Crouching Tiger Pass, and I have found that the rocks on both sides of Crouching Tiger Pass are soft and not solid, and if our army smashes all the stones on the mountain wall, what will be the result?"

"Causing a landslide?!" Chu Lianyu blurted out subconsciously.

"That's right! Our army's weapons can't smash the walls of Crouching Tiger Pass, but the boulders that fall from the landslide can smash the walls of Crouching Tiger Pass to the ground. Lin Haotian said with a smile: "So, Lin Han thought that Crouching Tiger Pass was in danger, but in fact, he was asking for his own death!"

Now everyone understood what Lin Haotian meant, and they all gave a thumbs up in their hearts, sincerely admiring Lin Haotian's astuteness and improvisable reaction ability.

Chu Lianyu came back to his senses first, arched his hands high, and said loudly: "Your Excellency is wise!"

The other generals also came back to their senses and said in unison, "Your Excellency is wise—"

Lin Haotian looked back and laughed silently.

According to Lin Haotian's tactics, after the Jin army arrived at Crouching Tiger Pass, they launched a fierce attack on Crouching Tiger Pass without even setting up camp or even resting.

At present, the Fifth Army has about 60,000 people, and Jin Cheng and Song Yu each command 30,000 people, and they are advancing to Wohu Pass on the left and right.

The defenders of Crouching Tiger Pass had long been ready to face the battle, and the soldiers were all unsheathed, arrows wound, and rolling logs and stones piled up all over the city, just waiting for Cao Xiong's attack order.

By the time the Fifth Army advanced to a mile or so from Crouching Tiger Pass, it had already entered the range of the wooden army, and the reason why Cao Xiong did not give the order to release the arrows was because he wanted to save the arrows and wait for the Jin army to get closer.

However, to his great surprise and the soldiers under his command, the Jin army stopped advancing when they arrived here, and pushed out the trebuchets in the army one after another, setting up several long rows, it seems that the Jin army wanted to use large siege weapons to make a close attack.

Cao Xiong sneered in his heart, and immediately issued an order, and the whole army prepared rockets to burn the opponent's siege equipment with rockets.

Before their side was ready, the attack of the Jin army began.

The trebuchets were launched in unison, aiming not at the walls of Crouching Tiger Pass, but at the cliffs on both sides of the level.

Jin Jun suddenly chose to smash the cliff, and Cao Xiong was also taken aback, and he couldn't figure out what kind of nerves Jin Jun was making and what kind of tricks he was playing.

I saw countless wooden stakes wrapped in iron sheets flying out, nailed to the cliff wall, the crisp sound of clicking and clicking was endless, and the cliff wall was pierced with thousands of holes, and then the stones smashed on the cliff wall, the rumbling loud sound was deafening, and the whole mountain peak seemed to tremble for it, and even the defenders in the Crouching Tiger Pass had the feeling that the ground was shaking the mountain.

The soldiers of the wooden army widened their eyes, and for a while, they forgot to release their arrows, and watched the march hitting the cliff as if they were watching the excitement.

Cao Xiong looked at it for a while, his heart suddenly moved, and secretly screamed that it was not good, the Jin army attacked the cliff not to suddenly go crazy, but to use this to cause a landslide, so that the falling rocks on the mountain would smash the Crouching Tiger Pass......!
