The white tiger is closed, the snowflakes are flying all over the sky, the north wind ghosts are crying wolves, and rows of straw men holding wooden sticks are "standing" on the city wall.

The two guards hid under the battlements, rubbing their hands together, exhaling white air, and chatting in low voices. "It's so fucking cold."

"Yes, the dog must be sleeping with his mother-in-law at this moment! Only the two of us were the unluckiest, and it was the turn of the evening. ”

"Look at your little bit of interest. I heard that the Holy Lord outwitted Wangxiangguan, and the Holy Queen Niangniang took the head of the Ding thief with a few swords, which scared the still minimalist fart and urine, and it fell directly, haha, what a bad seed. ”

"Yes, the Holy Lord is wise and martial, wise and brave, anticipating the enemy's opportunity, only Ding Wudao and Xiang Minimalist are the opponents of the Holy Lord?"

"It's a pity that we can't follow the Holy Lord to rebel, so we can only suffer here in the cold."

"You can't ignore us, it's not unreasonable for the Holy Lord to tell you to be careful about guarding against the Xionglu Pan Kingdom. Although it is cold and snowy, if they don't want to die and take the opportunity to come in, the Holy Lord will be attacked on both sides, and it will be dangerous. ”

"That's it!" The guard couldn't help but get up and look at the gate, only to hear a whoosh, an arrow flew from the gate, shooting through the guard's head! Then thousands of arrows snapped into the scarecrow, and the sound of killing erupted.

Seeing this, another guard shouted, "Not good! The Xionglu Pan Kingdom is attacking! ”

"Straight sissy thief! It's such a cold day to attack the city! Still not human! Zhu Fuzheng was furious, while ordering the scouts to report to Wangxiangguan, while carrying a knife in his hand, he called the men and horses to rush up the city wall, and looked out slightly, only to see the army of the Xionglu Panguo country black pressing, carrying the ladder, pushing the siege vehicle, waw wow shouted and rushed straight over, has arrived at the city, the archers behind keep shooting arrows on the city wall, suppressing the guards guarding the city, after a while, thousands of straw men were shot like hedgehogs.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhu Fuzheng ordered sharply. The archers who were in place first hid behind the straw men, drew arrows and set up bows and arrows, in one go, hundreds of arrows passed through the wind and snow, and rushed straight to the enemy, and the soldiers who ran in front fell to the ground like cut down wheat, and the soldiers behind did not abate, and still surged like a tide, and some of the soldiers who rushed in front had set up the ladder on the city wall, and a string of soldiers climbed up without dying.

"Throwing rocks and rolling logs!" Zhu Fuzheng ordered again.

The guards raised the rocks and threw them downward, until the besieging soldiers fell like fallen leaves. The wall of the White Tiger Pass has become thick ice due to continuous watering, slippery and slippery, where to build a stable ladder, the soldiers below have been unable to hold it, and the ladder with a "boom" has also rolled to the ground with the fallen soldiers.

Outside the city gate, dozens of enemy soldiers hid under the siege engine, and slammed the city gate with siege logs, until the ice and snow fell down.

"Pour! Ignition! "Yuan Shoufan, who was guarding the city gate, saw this and ordered urgently." Wow! Wow! Buckets of fire oil were poured down, and the enemy army was dipping their hands in oil and sniffing their noses, only to hear the sound of "whew" The fire was like a dragon out of the abyss, rushing into the sky, and the siege vehicles and the soldiers hiding below were instantly surrounded by flames, and they were screaming again and again, and the soldiers affected by the surrounding area were also burned to cry and cry for their fathers and mothers.

The coach of Xionglu Panguo is Ye Ge, who is like an ant on a hot pot at this time.

Before sending out the army, he received a secret report that Wei Zheng had established himself as the holy lord, and led the elite of Baihuguan to rebel, and he couldn't help but see the scene of Wei Zheng for the first time at Wangxiangguan Station, a thin boy, as if the wind could blow him over a little stronger, how capable of such a person could be? It's too self-defeating to lead the army to rebel, so it's okay, what you're waiting for is today.

He concluded that the White Tiger Pass had few soldiers, the defense was empty, and the weather was cold, so he definitely would not have thought that the Xionglu army would attack. So immediately asked the lord of the kingdom, Oswid, to send troops to war.

Oswid has long coveted the beautiful and rich Eastern Holy Country, and has been preparing for many years at the expense of blood, waiting for this opportunity, naturally he refused to miss it, and happily played it, appointed Yego as the commander, raised 150,000 troops, and led the fierce generals of the Xionglu Pan State, Leonard, Osborne, Luther, Toto and Labraham, braved the snow to invade the Eastern Holy Kingdom.

Ye Ge led the army day and night, to the White Tiger Pass a few miles outside the camp to rest, and so on, in the evening, when the wind and snow were combined, the whole army launched a surprise attack, full of thought that it could be quickly taken, but unexpectedly the other party had already prepared, not only the damaged city wall was repaired, but also the strong and abnormal, the guard was brave and strong, and the army he saw when he entered the pass was like a cloud, the siege did not see any progress, but his own casualties were a lot.

"Your Royal Highness, the enemy army is brave and seems to have been prepared, and our army has suffered heavy casualties, how can it be good?" Luther hurried to report on the military situation.

Ye Ge calculated in his heart, although the surprise attack was frustrated, but the White Tiger Pass must have been dealt with in a hurry, this is the best time, if you miss it, if you want to capture the White Tiger Pass, you will pay a greater price. The current situation is still beneficial to the Xionglu army, as long as the offensive is strengthened, and the other side is not given a chance to breathe and remedy, it will definitely be able to be captured, the war has entered a white-hot stage, whoever persists to the end, who can achieve victory, success or failure in this move, think about it, he waved his hand and said, "Pass my order, attack on all fronts, at all costs, take the White Tiger Pass, the first one to rush up, reward 1,000 taels of silver!" ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, the whole army of the Xionglu Pan Kingdom is like a tide desperate to attack the city wall, Osborne, Toto carrying weapons, wawa wawa shouted and took the lead to climb the ladder.

On the side of Baihu Pass, although the city wall was slippery, it resisted the first attack, but after all, the response was hasty, only two thousand guards were in place, and most of the soldiers had not yet arrived, and in the face of tens of thousands of troops besieging the city, the disadvantage was extremely obvious.

Zhu Fuzheng shouted, "All the soldiers, the Xionglu Pan Kingdom is undeclared war, despicable and shameless, and has no morality at all, if they attack the city, all of us, the people in the city, our parents and brothers, will definitely not let any of them go." As long as everyone resists desperately and buys time, the other brothers will arrive, and the enemy will definitely not be able to attack! Kill me hard! ”

Most of the soldiers of Baihu Pass are locals, and their wives and children are all in the city, who is unwilling to fight to the death at this time?! Suddenly, arrows, stones, and rolling logs rained down on the besieging enemy.

Although the Xionglu army was outnumbered, the high walls of the city were slippery, and there was no way, and several attacks failed, leaving only thousands of corpses, and Toto was also wounded by an arrow. The soldiers of Baihuguan have arrived one after another, and it is almost impossible for the Xionglu army to fight a quick battle.

Ye Ge was willing to give up, he expected that after a few attacks, most of the white tiger had already consumed half of the stone rolling wood, and as long as he attacked a few more times, he would be able to climb the city tower.

He cried out in a loud voice, "Brothers, the beautiful land of the Eastern Holy Kingdom can only belong to the people of the true God, not to the unfaithful heathens. The Almighty God is watching you with His discerning eyes! Let's fight for the true God, go! Warriors, slay all the heretics! The first to climb the tower will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver! ”

All the people of Xionglupan believe in the true God, and think that it is glorious to die for the true God, not to mention the heavy reward, they carry the ladder and push the siege cart to howl again to attack the White Tiger Pass, and they are still greeted by arrows, stones and rolling logs.

On the one hand, Zhu Fuzheng organized the soldiers to resist, and on the other hand, he mobilized the people in the city to collect boulders and rough wood. The two sides fought straight to the east to Tubai, and the White Tiger Pass was still unbreakable.

Only then did Jego admit defeat and order the army to stop the siege. He summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures, Leonard said, "The city wall is covered with thick ice, slippery and hard, it can't be attacked at all, why don't we dig tunnels!" ”

"Good!" Ye Ge remembered the secret passage of the capital, "Pass the order down, day and night, and dig in turn." After noon, siege again! ”

The white tiger was closed, the guards took turns to rest, and the people in the city were so tired that they fell to sleep, and some of them still had dry food in their mouths, and they fell into a deep sleep. Some women and children were looking for their husbands who were soldiers, and some were weeping bitterly over corpses.

Zhu Fuzheng inspected the city wall and convened the soldiers to discuss military affairs, "The invasion of the Xionglu Pan Kingdom this time will be won, and we will never give up, we don't have many arrows, stones, and rolling logs, and if they attack again, they can only do it with knives and guns." The people in the city should withdraw to Wangxiang Pass as soon as possible. Vice Marshal Yuan, you lead a thousand elite soldiers, escort them to the back of the throat passage, and rest there to be on standby! ”

"No!" Yuan Shoufan got up and said goodbye.

Just after noon, the sound of killing outside the city rose again, and the Xionglu army attacked the city again, and after a while, the stones, rolling logs, and arrows were exhausted.

"How much oil is there?" Zhu Fu asked Xu Shiyuan urgently.

"Twenty or thirty barrels!"

"It seems that the city cannot be defended, and we must all die here if we continue like this. You immediately go back to the camp with the soldiers, burn everything that can be burned, and must not fall into the hands of the dogs, and after the fire is set out, you will withdraw first, and go to the lock throat ten miles outside the city, and lay an ambush in advance. ”

"You are the deputy marshal, you withdraw first."

"It's an order, there's no time to fight about it now. Just go! ”

Xu Shiyuan knew that the situation was urgent, turned around and left, and after a while, the fire of the grain and grass quartermaster depot and military camp rose.

Zhu Fuzheng saw that the enemy army was halfway up, and he drank, "Pour oil and set fire!" ”

The guards immediately poured all the twenty or thirty barrels of fire oil on the Xionglu Pan soldiers, threw the jar full of wine into the distance, the archers immediately fired rockets in unison, and with a roar, the raging fire rose into the air, and the black smoke went straight to the sky, and the Xionglu Pan soldiers under the city wall and on the cloud ladder were on fire one after another, and fell down the cloud ladder with a strange scream, and the fire oil splashed everywhere, and burned when it was stained, and for a time thousands of Xionglu Pan soldiers were burned alive by the flames.

The soldiers of the Xionglufan army who were not on fire also fought for the true god and had three thousand taels of silver, and retreated one after another.

Seeing that the flames at the foot of the city were raging, even the Daluo Immortals could not get close, so he ordered to speed up the excavation of the tunnel, and organized soldiers to attack again when the fire was extinguished.

The fire burned for half an hour before it was extinguished.

When he saw that the fire was extinguished, he immediately ordered the siege of the city, "Their stones and logs are exhausted, rush!" ”

The soldiers of Xionglupan poured into the White Tiger Pass like a tide again, and the archers behind fired thousands of arrows, and many of the guards at the head of the city were hit by arrows and fell down the city like fallen leaves. The other guards hid under the battlements, unable to raise their heads.

The Xionglu army took the opportunity to set up hundreds of ladders and rushed up desperately.

Luther took the lead and ascended to the top of the city.

When Zhu Fuzheng saw it, he shouted, lifted the Qinglong knife and slashed, with a "bell", the two knives were connected, sparks shot out, and the two sides came and went, and they fought equally.

The guards also fought with the Xionglufan soldiers who climbed the city tower, and for a time knives and guns exchanged knives and guns, and fought in a group, until dusk, without winning or losing.

The fierce fighting on the head of the city, the city suddenly shouted a sound of killing, the original tunnel has been dug through, Oscan rushed out of the tunnel with a team of Xionglu soldiers, went straight to the city gate, the guards guarding the city gate resisted desperately, the situation was extremely urgent. Zhu Fuzheng saw that the general situation was not good, shook a knife, jumped out of the battle group, and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

The guards retreated one after another, and those who were a little slower were killed by the Xionglufan soldiers.

Zhu Fu was relying on the familiarity of the road, and led hundreds of soldiers to rush out of the city by moonlight, and retreated to Wangxiang Pass.

When Yego entered the White Tiger Pass, he urgently ordered fires to be extinguished everywhere, and ordered Labraham to lead 3,000 cavalry to pursue the remnants of the army, and they must be completely annihilated.

Zhu Fuzheng and others ran to the lock throat road, which is the only way to go to Wangxiangguan, with slopes on both sides, lush forests, and a narrow and long road in the middle, which is very dangerous. I saw Yuan Shoufan leading the army, with archers behind, infantry in the middle, and pikemen in front, and they had already set up a formation.

The people who escaped from the White Tiger Pass were still carrying burdens, pushing wooden carts, and carrying burdens, and walked slowly not far from the rear.

"You also go to ambush and listen to my orders," Zhu Fu said.

"No!" Yuan Shoufan lifted the reins, ran up the slope, and when he reached the cavalry ambush, he jumped off his horse, let the horse lie on the ground, stroked the horse's head, and let it be quiet and waiting, and his eyes were fixed on the throat.

The soldiers lined up on the throat channel were nervous, and some of them were afraid that their lips were shaking. Seeing this, Zhu Fuzheng said loudly, "Soldiers, I know that everyone is very scared, and I am also afraid. But the enemy has suffered heavy losses in the past, and will not give up, and will definitely send cavalry to pursue, we can't outrun them, and the women, children, and old people behind them can't outrun them, they only have us, their life and death, blessings and misfortunes, are in our hands, who do we not fight? The so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, the road here is narrow, not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, as long as we meet the enemy according to the formation of the Holy Lord, fight to the death, there will be a glimmer of life, everyone must be stable, listen to my orders! ”

After a while, Labraham led the cavalry to chase after him, and saw Zhu Fuzheng leading thousands of soldiers in front of him to block the road from a distance.

Labraham thought that he had just fought a battle, and the Zhu army resisted desperately, coupled with the long-distance escape, he must be sleepy and lacking horses. The prince demanded total annihilation, and he could not go back like this, although the terrain was unfavorable to him, but the cavalry had a strong impact, as long as he rushed over, he would definitely be able to kill him without leaving a piece of armor. So he raised the torch in his hand and shouted, "Kill me!" The cavalry raised their spears and swords, and the hula rushed forward.

Zhu Fuzheng shouted, "Release the arrow!" The archers in the rear fired a salvo of a thousand arrows, and the Xionglufan cavalry running in front fell from their camels with arrows, and they were trampled to death by the camels behind before they were killed.

But the cavalry's impact was too strong, and in a blink of an eye, it was more than 20 meters away from Zhu's army. "Up!" Zhu Fuzheng shouted.

The two hundred pikemen in the front line picked up the bamboo stalks and spears from the ground, and put the tail of the spear on the ground, and the infantry quickly stacked up the shields layer by layer, connecting them into a wall shield, and instantly put out an insurmountable ironclad spear array.

Where did the Xionglupan cavalry expect that there would be this hand, only to hear the sound of "plop pounce" again and again, the Xionglupan cavalry was strung into a sugar gourd, the upper spear was stabbed and stabbed, and the archers and arrows rained continuously, and the cavalry was how many people died, and in a moment they were piled up in front of the battle into a mountain of corpses.

Labraham was furious, and urged the cavalry behind him to cut off their spears and move forward.

"Cavalry Charge!" Zhu Fuzheng shouted again.

The main general Yuan Shoufan shouted, "Rush! The 2,000 cavalrymen who were lying in ambush in the woods jumped on their horses, raised their swords and spears, and shouted to kill the heavens, rushing out from both sides like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

Labram shouted badly, and wanted to leave, and the Xionglufan cavalry did not know how many cavalry on the other side were ambushed in the dark, and they immediately made a mess.

Yuan Shoufan rushed to the front, his two knives flew, like a wedge straight to the enemy's cavalry group, a burst of indiscriminate chopping, the cavalry on both sides followed, fighting hard, and actually rushed the Xionglufan cavalry through the cross, killing him more than half of the dead and wounded.

Zhu Fuzheng was overjoyed and immediately led the team to join the battle group. Labra was rarely at a disadvantage, shouting "Retreat!" "Throwing down more than 2,000 corpses, he led the remnants of the cavalry to flee in disarray.

Zhu Fuzheng did not chase after him, and counted the number of people, but there were no casualties. Daxi, ordered all the soldiers to hang the corpses of the Xionglu Panjun on the trees on both sides, and then hurriedly escorted the people to Wangxiangguan.

When Yego heard Labraham's report, he was so angry that he ordered Ra to go out and behead him. Leonard hurriedly persuaded, "Your Royal Highness, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and killing a general in the first battle will do no harm, so it is better to let him make meritorious contributions." ”

The other soldiers also pleaded one after another, and Ye Ge gave up. Counting the casualties, the loss of more than 10,000 people, including more than 2,000 cavalry, the loss of the general Toto, only more than 3,000 enemies, although the White Tiger Pass was captured, but all the grain and grass and military supplies were burned, only a ruined city was lost, and it was also a big defeat.

In ancient times, you must know yourself and your opponent in order to survive a hundred battles, and you don't even know the enemy you are facing, how can you defeat him? The defeat in the first battle taught Yego a vivid lesson.

Seeing that the army was tired, Yege had to order him to rest on the spot and attack Wangxiang Pass the next day. On that day, the army piled up the broken beams, lit a fire to keep warm, and slept on the ground. I don't know who blew the Qiang flute, and the voice was sad and sad......
