Sun Ning said so, but when he really led his army to the foot of Youxian Pass, looking at the towering Youxian Ridge, straight into the clouds, steep and difficult to walk, only apes can climb and cross the Youxian Ridge, and the steep pass built according to this, completely separating the road, he still took a deep breath.

A few years ago, he did go south from there. However, at that time, I did not think that I would lead an army to attack this pass one day, so I did not carefully observe the surrounding terrain.

Now that he really understands it, even Sun Ning feels that it is difficult to deal with it, this level is not something that tens of thousands of troops can fight and fight.

First of all, the geographical location of Youxian Pass is excellent, located in the gap between the mountains on both sides, and there is no trail to detour at all.

Secondly, the road in front of it is also extremely narrow and difficult to travel, and there is no room for too many soldiers and horses to deploy, so that thousands of soldiers and horses can form a formation and attack if they are killed. But there are 3,000 defenders in the pass, so isn't it possible to keep fighting more and fighting less at all times?

If such an attack is really launched, the final result will inevitably be the same as that of Nie Long's troops at the moment, with heavy casualties and low morale.

Finally, and most desperately, the pass itself is carefully built, with almost no dead ends.

The fortress on the south side is seven or eight zhang high, and its walls are all tightly built of stones in the middle of the mountain, leaving no gaps for the enemy.

And on this section of the wall, which is more than two miles long, there is a stone arrow tower lookout every twenty steps, with one or twenty crossbowmen in it, and many stones to throw.

If it is a strong attack, such a line of fire alone is enough for the army to lose a large number of soldiers and horses in the process of attacking the fortification. Even if the Vietnamese army had a large number of men and horses at this time, no one dared to make such a determination to fill it with human lives in order to break this barrier.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, as the vanguard of the army, he failed to take this pass, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender!"

Nie Long came to Sun Ning at this time and bowed down to ask for sin.

Sun Ning's gaze retracted from the wall: "You get up, it's no wonder you're going to do this." is so strong, who is replaced, I dare not say that it will definitely be able to be defeated. ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you give the minister another chance, let me personally take the first army to seize the pass?" Nie Long then asked for battle again.

Before, as the commander of the vanguard army, he naturally couldn't risk his life, so he could only endure it. But now, now that the army has arrived, he can take a risk, even if there is a real event, it will not affect the overall situation.

But his request was immediately rejected by Sun Ning: "No, you are just stubborn, and you may not even be able to have a certain grasp of winning the pass." ”

As he spoke, he sighed softly: "It's a pity, Yifei didn't come with me, otherwise maybe he could really give it a go!" ”

He thought of Yan Yifei's corpse control technique, if he could control hundreds of zombies to attack the city against the enemy's arrow rain at this time, maybe he really had a certain chance of winning. Of course, in this way, Yan Yifei's loss must be huge, and it is also very possible to be seriously injured by the backlash.

It's just that since he took Xiangyang, he has been seriously injured and temporarily returned to Xiangxi, and now he is looking for someone to come over, I'm afraid it will take several months.

"Your Majesty, why don't you choose a good player in the army, turn over on both sides of the Xianling Ridge at night, and then jump into the pass to capture the pass?" Another general came up with an idea.

In fact, Sun Ning had thought about this strategy just now, and he even wanted to personally bring a group of soldiers with good enough skills to take a risk.

After all, at the beginning, he had climbed the mountain with his bare hands to climb up the mountain behind the Black Tiger Village, so as to single-handedly take down the entire cottage.

But after carefully looking at the arrangement on both sides of Youxian Pass, he quickly rejected this strategy: "No. When they built this pass, they obviously took this layer into account.

"Look at the raised probes at the east and west ends of the pass, and the many torches that are stuck in there. If I had thought it was right, at night they would have lit all the torches and left enough men to keep an eye on the hills on either side.

"If someone does venture to climb a mountain or climb a mountain, they will be greeted with arrows when they find it. In such a situation, no matter how high the martial arts are and how good the skills are, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of dozens or hundreds of sharp arrows, I am afraid that it will be nine deaths. And as long as the slightest distraction causes the body to be unstable and fall off the cliff, it is even more certain death. ”

Although Sun Ning dares to take risks, he must also have a certain grasp to do it. But the current Youxian Pass has clearly completely blocked this loophole, and the so-called adventure is to send it to death.

The general who proposed this strategy wanted to say something more, but he heard Nie Long say: "What Your Majesty said is very true, every night, the torches at both ends of the year are particularly dazzling, enough to illuminate the situation in the vicinity for several miles. There is absolutely no way that anyone will be able to escape their gaze. ”

Several ideas were put forward in a row, but they all failed to pass, which made the generals a little discouraged.

When looking at the towering Youxian Pass in front of us, everyone only felt that this pass seemed to be even more majestic and terrifying.

Seeing this, Sun Ning could only encourage: "You don't have to worry too much, there is no absolute barrier in the world, and now we just can't come up with a countermeasure for the time being."

"In this way, the army will rest for a while, and early tomorrow morning, we will first send an army to attack the key problems. Maybe you can find the flaws in this Youxian Pass with this. ”

His Majesty the Emperor spoke, and everyone naturally said yes.

Then when it was dawn another day, he quickly picked out an elite team and tried to launch an attack on Youxian Pass.

But just like the situation of the vanguard army led by Nie Long before, although this team of thousands of people is indeed brave and fearless enough, and the tactics are also appropriate, with a strong will and an orderly formation, they will fight against the rain of arrows to the pass, but after that, there is still no way to take the towering wall.

The ladder was erected, but in the end, it was the guards who pushed it down, and the crossbowmen who arranged to fight back from above were also blocked by the fortifications arranged above.

As a result, in this half-day assault, almost nothing was achieved except for more than 300 dead and wounded.

Seeing the momentum of the team in front of him, Sun Ning could only choose Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

This Youxian Pass is really impregnable, and it is impenetrable, completely making tens of thousands of troops helpless against him.

It's a pity that the trees on the surrounding mountains are not big enough, otherwise Sun Ning plans to cut down trees on the spot and build more powerful siege weapons, such as stone throwers and the like, to kill the enemy and break the level.

And the time was not enough for him to mobilize such equipment from the rear, which was really a headache.

Sun Ning never thought that this Youxian Pass, which was not very inconspicuous before, would become the biggest problem standing in front of his own army.

Some people died, but not completely......
