The horses have all been brushed, fed with concentrate, and rested, and they are as energetic as people.

Each person was provided with three days of dry food, three days of clean water, two horses, and the army was lightly armed and had no baggage.

Not only do you have to run hundreds of miles, but you also have to sneak up on the capital of Xiqi and take down the opposing monarch.

There is no other way, only fast.

......

The prince of the kingdom of Xiqi is inspecting the new robe he wears when he ascends the throne.

Some old ministers came to persuade that the Longyu Pass spontaneously combusted twice, and he was afraid that there was an enemy secretly intruding, and he wanted to take advantage of the new monarch's ceremony to plot against him.

Hu Yanzhao asked him, "Then what do you say?"

"It's better to postpone the ceremony." This one is also upright.

Hu Yanzhao's face turned black all of a sudden.

Who doesn't know that there are many dreams at night? After his father was gone, he looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to tomorrow's ascension to the throne as king, but this old thing asked him to postpone it?

"When do you say?"

The old minister hesitated: "Postpone it...... In a few days, the West Mountain will be fine."

"What do you say if you delay it for a few days, and when I'm about to be crowned, the beacon fire will spontaneously ignite again?" Hu Yanzhao said coldly, "Shall I postpone it again?"

"Those wild monkeys in the Dragon's Throat Pass set fires, and I have to postpone the ascension? Huh?"

Do you say to any prince that you want him to be crowned king a few days later, and see if he can do it?

"It doesn't matter how many days the country of Xiqi has no king, as long as the west can't afford it, right?"

A series of questions choked the old minister to the ground.

"Weichen's meaning is that the dragon's throat Guan Jia sent manpower......

"Yes, Dragon's Throat Pass will send more manpower." Hu Yanzhao waved his hand to let him retreat, these people only knew how to add to the blockage, and they didn't know how to share his worries, "Someone came to give orders!" Tomorrow, inside and outside the city, inside and outside the palace, be on guard! If there's a problem, I'll see you!"

The guards outside answered, and the order was passed down one by one.

Wei Wei called his Lang official over: "Tomorrow inside and outside the city, inside and outside the palace, double the vigilance, otherwise the price is only asked!"

Lang Guan also called his subordinates over: "The ceremony strictly controls entry and exit, and sends additional manpower, and you are the only one who is derelict in your duties!"

It was also passed all the way to the city gate, and Shang Feng Er said: "...... Otherwise, you're the only one asking! "And gone.

But the ceremony is imminent, and the security is originally very tightly planned, and everyone has a place to go, where to double it? The city gate Lang thought about it and sent an additional group of patrol guards.

￥￥￥￥￥

The next day, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled.

From beginning to end, it was smooth sailing, and there were no moths at all.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, there is wind and no moon.

In the past few days, the attention of the sentries of the Dragon Throat Pass has been on the beacon tower, and they almost subconsciously looked back after taking a few steps, lest there be anything wrong.

People's energy is limited, and if they look too much at the back, they will miss the front. None of the three noticed that a team was slowly approaching in the night.

And the two outposts more than 100 zhang away from the Dragon's Throat Pass did not give warnings at all.

In the night, a frightened bird fluttered its wings, and a sentry on the wall looked at it, only to see an arrow flying in the darkness on the side, which hit the throat.

At the same time, He Lingchuan and the others also tumbled down from the top of the Guan Lou and quietly wiped off the necks of the other two.

The man with the arrow in his throat shook twice and was about to fall off the wall. He Lingchuan grabbed it quickly with his eyes and gently placed it on the ground.

Otherwise, it would have been too loud at night.

The two squads of the Gale Army acted in tandem, and the other team was led by Captain Sun.

He Lingchuan gestured to him, meaning that the sentry had finished cleaning up.

Sun Duwei nodded, glanced down twice, determined the position of the city gate winch, and then dropped two palm-sized copper golems.

These two things fell to the ground, and with a "bang" the ground turned into a huge bronze guard more than a foot high!

They are covered in thick armor, and when they get up when they land, the first thing they do is push the winch and open the city gates!

dragon

The throat pass is the first gateway to the defense of Panlong City in the Western Qi Kingdom, and it is also the most important one, and a lot of work has been put into the city gate. It is four feet thick, made of ironwood, fine iron, and rhino bark, and is usually controlled by a winch to open and close up and down.

It would take eight strong men or four horses to push this winch, but how can the power of the bronze guard be matched by humans?

As soon as they worked hard, the winch creaked in, apparently not oiled for maintenance. It turned from slow to fast, and the gates that pierced into the ground were slowly lifted with the sound of rolling machines.

The garrison of Dragon's Throat Pass is not a dead man, who can hide this dull sound and vibration?

Amid the terrible cries and whistles of the "enemy attack", the garrison rushed out of the barracks to defend against the enemy, and a rain of arrows suddenly fell on the mountain peak.

The gale guard, who had been in ambush for a long time, finally moved.

At this time, the door above the gate was kicked from the inside, and if someone happened to be standing outside the door, they would have to be slapped in the face by the door panel.

The guard rushed out with a mace in hand, shouting, "Grab the winch, go upstairs!"

To capture the winch is to keep the checkpoint and clear the enemy soldiers on the gatehouse, so that the defenders can calmly deal with the large army outside.

The door panel was on the side, and a shield struck it.

The guard was not afraid, picked up the mace and smashed it, and it was three consecutive slams, directly shaking the door panel two feet away.

But the task of the door panel was originally to attract firepower.

The guard smashed hard, and a string of arrows flew in the dark, one took his throat, the second took his ribs, and the third took his knees and legs, but the wicker shot.

The defender also reacted quite well, raising his hand and knocking two arrows, lifting his leg, and shooting the knee into the calf.

He snorted, but with Yuan Force protecting his body, he chased an arrow into the flesh and scored two points, but failed to cause open trauma.

The wicker divides the power of an arrow into three paths, and the penetration is naturally limited.

But her three arrows are also a false move.

The real killing is behind the guard:

He Lingchuan silently took out the knife.

When it comes to victory or defeat on the battlefield, who will pay attention to one-on-one heads-up with you?

The guard only felt that his back was creepy, as if something terrifying was coming, so he didn't think about a side fall, and the mace was smashed out with a backhand.

He was not slow to dodge, but he was still a little slower than He Lingchuan, and the light of the knife changed, and he swept past the arm of the guard holding the baton first.

He only felt a cold and painful pain in his wrist.

The arm was broken at the wrist and the incision was flat.

The palm of his hand and the mace fell to the ground, and the guard felt the pain and couldn't help but scream. Several guards in the rear rushed up to protect him, and one person was shot by the wicker, one person was stabbed to death by Hu Min's dagger, and the last one was understood by He Lingchuan.

The guard has reached the wall, and he is about to turn over and jump down.

As soon as He Lingchuan raised his hand, a sleeve arrow shot out, piercing his shoulder and hooking it back.

On the side, Captain Sun Duwei was controlling the golden armor and bronze guard, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but rush closer, and cut off the head of the guard with a knife.

"Hey, hey, it's not yours!" Hu Min couldn't help but shout, this product is robbing the credit!

Sun Duwei smiled at him, grinned a mouthful of white teeth, and then raised the head of the guard and shouted at the gate, "Hu Bin is dead, Hu Bin is dead!"

This guard is called Hu Bin.

When the Xiqi garrison looked up, the leaders were all dead, and the army was in turmoil.

The door panel also shouted: "Surrender or kill, open the door and don't kill!"

The Xiqi garrison went to attack the two gold-armored bronze guards, and the latter buried his head in pushing the winch wildly, and did not resist at all.

They have copper skin and iron bones and steel armor, and they also have Yuan Force to protect their bodies, so the weapon is all drawn out of the sparks, and it is only effective when attacking the joints.

There are still a few fierce men in the garrison, holding heavy weapons and smashing the knee joints of the golden-armored bronze guard, and it really has some effect.

At least the speed of the Golden-Armored Bronze Guard's advance has slowed down.

At the same time, the Xiqian people also used camp tents and horse rejection piles as cover to counterattack the shooters on the mountain peaks.

However, the city gate was already two feet above the ground, and the soldiers of Panlong City outside were lying on the ground with their weapons and rolling inside.

The Xiqian defenders were about to counterattack, but they were surprised to see Hu Bin

died, as soon as the morale was discharged, the soldiers of Panlong City who got in stood firm.

Later, the Xiqian people were defeated and retreated, and the golden armor and bronze guards opened the gate and put in the army, which was the matter of Sichuan Ding.

A quarter of an hour later, the defenders of Longyu Pass abandoned their forces and surrendered.

In this battle, the beacon tower has not been lit from beginning to end. Some soldiers wanted to remove the sand cover and light the fire, but they forced the thing to be plastered with mud and sand, which was not only thick but also heavy, and by no means one or two people could move it.

The shooters on the peaks also focus on the beacon tower, and whoever comes here will eat arrows.

Under the rain of arrows, this layer of sand cover just can't be removed.

General Hong walked up to He Lingchuan and Sun Duwei and nodded in approval: "Good job. At least give us two more hours."

The execution of the two teams was in place, allowing the Panlong Army to open the door of the Dragon's Throat Pass at the lowest cost.

Don't underestimate these two hours, the foundation for victory and defeat may have been laid.

The dragon's throat has been opened, but what about the dragon's tail?

General Hong did not waste any time, and ordered the whole army to advance and quickly take the last difficult pass in the mountains of Xiqi Country - Longji Gang.

Because the elite squad of the Gale Army had already been ambushed in advance, and it was also a combination of inside and outside, this time the battle took half an hour and was finally won.

But Longji Pass lit the beacon tower!

The elite squad had dumbed out the barrel beforehand, so the defenders didn't fire a shot until the end.

It is impossible to fight a war without any room for error, and this mistake has been estimated by General Hong. She didn't blame much, just let everyone rest in place for a quarter of an hour, and then pointed her sword at the Xiqian Capital City on the Eastern Plains!

Her Attack Manifesto is just four words:

"This battle will be won!"

......

On the first night of Xiqian Xinjun's ascension to the throne, he pampered two beauties.

He slept soundly in the gentle township, but the attendants rushed in and played in a hurry, and the enemy army was attacking and had already attacked the gate of the national capital!

"What?" Hu Yanzhao buzzed in his head, and lost his voice, "How is this possible!"

Where did the enemy come from, and where did they come in!

"The South Gate and the West Gate have fallen, and the East Gate is still under fierce attack!" The attendant cried, "The beacon tower in the west is lit, then it should be the attack of Panlong City!"

Hu Yanzhao kicked him down: "Then why didn't anyone react!"

As soon as he said this, he remembered that someone had come to report a few hours earlier, and the beacon fire in the west had risen again.

After two consecutive nights of false alarm, today is another good day for him to ascend the throne, Hu Yanzhao didn't pay much attention to this matter, but just ordered someone to send someone to spy on the truth. Besides, although the beacon fire started but the artillery was not fired, it was very likely to be a false alarm.
