Meiling Pass, guarding the school captain's house, in the back garden, white chrysanthemum, bellflower, peony, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom.

Li Xuan was wearing a white shirt, and there was a piece of rice paper on the easel in front of her.

A thin green bamboo pen sketches quickly on it.

In the middle of a deep valley, a simple four-sided camp sits calmly.

There were quite a few soldiers walking back and forth in it.

Smoke was rising, and breakfast was already being prepared.

How many tents, how many corner towers, how many light and dark guards, all of them are clearly displayed in Li Xuan's pen.

The breeze blew, and there was an inexplicable hint of weirdness.

Li Xuan's face was indifferent, and the tip of the thin pen in his hand was pulled back, and a large blank space appeared.

A closed city appeared in the corner of rice paper, and in the dense forest below the city, dozens of secret sentries were hidden, staring at everything in the city.

At the same time on the city wall, a general wearing red clothes and gold armor held a thousand ox swords in his hand, staring deadly below.

If the city gate had been completely blocked, he would have been killed by now.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth showed a slight chuckle.

Last night, Li Xuan deliberately arranged for Qianniuwei to be on duty at night, and the leader was naturally Qiu Zhenmu.

However, after arriving last night, the people of the Tianyin Sect seemed to be extremely tired, and they fell asleep directly in the camp that had been built one step in advance.

If he had taken the opportunity to attack the camp last night, maybe Li Xuan would have been able to kill so many hundreds, but unfortunately, he didn't have this intention in the first place.

Li Xuan picked up a piece of rice paper again, placed it on the easel, and began to continue to draw in detail.

In a large camp tent, a general wearing silver chain mail sat on it, his long hair tied back, his face was handsome, and his face was beautiful.

I don't know when, she has changed into a man's attire, and is wearing battle armor, sitting in the middle position, commanding the battle.

On the left side of the tent, there stood the holy maidens Ye Wanwan and He Qing'er, as well as several other branch masters.

On the left side of the battle, three middle-aged men who were also wearing chain mail descended.

Although they were wearing the same battle armor as Zhang Wanyu, the battle armor on these three people was somewhat shoddy.

It is the same system as the chain mail that Li Xuan once found in the courtyard of the Cao Gang in Yangzhou.

Sure enough, before Li Xuan destroyed that courtyard, there was already an unknown amount of chain mail flowing into the Tianyin Sect.

……

"Master Xu, Shi Shizheng, this seat wants you to lead five hundred people to rush to the tentative siege under Meiling Pass, this seat must know how the crossbow weapons in Meiling Pass are distributed." Zhang Wanyu looked at Xu Shan, the deputy hall master of the Tianyin Sect's Jiande Hall, with a serious face.

"Subordinates obey!" Xu Shan promised in a deep voice.

"Hall Master Hu!" Zhang Wanyu looked at Hu Guang, the deputy hall master behind Xu Shan, and said in a cold voice: "This seat orders you to scatter all your hands and find all the secret passages suitable for the army. ”

"The subordinate obeys the order!" Hu Guang looked at Zhang Wanyu, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he still honestly promised it.

If there was really any passage suitable for a large group of people and horses near the Great Ci'en Rock, I am afraid that it would have been discovered by those merchants who did not know death, and where would they have to wait for today.

Zhang Wanyu's current this, in Hu Guang's eyes, is a random command.

If this were to be done by someone else, Hu Guang and the others would definitely be ten thousand unconvinced, but Zhang Wanyu was different.

She is not only the niece of the queen mother, but also the fiancée of Fang Yunxiu, the younger brother of Fang Fengjin, the head of Muzhou Hall, and the head of Hangzhou Hall.

No matter who she was or whatever, no one dared to stab her.

"Holy Maiden!" Zhang Wanyu turned her head to look at Ye Wanwan, and then said with a serious face: "Holy Maiden, the construction of catapults, battering rams and wells is all entrusted to the Holy Maiden." ”

"Whoa!" Ye Wanwan did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

Zhang Wanyu looked at Ye Wanwan with a solemn face, and said emphatically again: "Whether I can successfully win Meiling Pass this time depends on the ordnance built by the Holy Maiden, if there is a problem with those ordnance, then don't blame the ruthless hand of this seat, Holy Maiden?" ”

"The well is not a problem, not even the battering ram, the real problem is still the special rope used by the catapult, which we only have enough to build four trebuchets......" Ye Wanwan immediately threw the problem out.

This time, in order to completely capture Meiling Pass, when the Tianyin Sect set out from Jiande, it carried a large amount of supplies, including a large number of bows, crossbows and arrows.

Even if it weren't for the rugged mountain roads, I'm afraid that everything they needed, including catapults, wells, and battering rams, would have been prepared long ago.

It's a pity that the road is too far, and the mountain road is difficult, so I can only carry some key utensils, and then go to Meiling Pass and reassemble it.

"Others, someone from the rear will be sent over soon, no matter what is needed, the rear will do their best to help, but if you ......" Zhang Wanyu paused slightly, and then looked at everyone: "If we can't take Meiling Pass within three days and congratulate the Xinyuan Dynasty, then I'm afraid we will only have to apologize for our deaths, and no one here can be an exception."

Three days, three days later, the Tianyin Sect officially started, and then changed to Yuanbao Ying.

It is the task of these people to take Meiling Pass as the New Yuan Dynasty.

If the task is not completed, then these people will not have any place in the entire new dynasty.

"The subordinates will definitely live up to their mission and congratulate the new Yuan!" Everyone present bowed to Zhang Wanyu at the same time.

All of them understand that the Holy Queen has already had the intention of passing on the throne this time, and now on the surface, they are raising troops against the Tang Dynasty in the name of Muzhou Assassin Shi Xu, but it won't be long before the position is stable, and the position will immediately pass to Wen Fuzhi's hands.

This is something that all of their Heavenly Yin Cultists approve of.

"So, let's go and get ready." Zhang Wanyu raised her head slightly, and the others, including the Holy Maiden Ye Wanwan, all retreated.

Only He Qing'er was suddenly stopped by Zhang Wanyu at the end.

"Hall Master!" He Qing'er looked at Zhang Wanyu in some surprise.

Zhang Wanyu waved her hand, looked at He Qing'er, and said softly: "Qing'er, now go and select a team of dead soldiers with good skills, and at the time of day, please lead the troops to steal the city." ”

"Stealing the city?" He Qing'er was slightly stunned, but then said with a solemn face: "What do you need your subordinates to do......?"

……

Everything in the tent clearly appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.

Putting down the thin bamboo brush, Li Xuan raised his head, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

The Tianyin Sect arrived at Meiling Pass last night, but they had already sent people in advance to build a camp in the rear a long time ago.

This time, they completely learned the previous lesson of Luo Yongjie, and began to work steadily, fully prepared, and never rashly.

However, all this is only scratching the surface.

In three days, the people of the Tianyin Sect wanted to capture Meiling Pass within three days and fight steadily, how could they do it?

"It's day and night." Li Xuan knew in his heart that the war was only now the beginning of real cruelty.

"If that's the case, isn't that a tactic to exhaust the army?" Li Xuan instantly saw through some people's plans,

Zhang Wanyu did not send all the troops out at the beginning, but only sent a mere 500 people for temptation.

Then at night, let He Qing'er lead the troops to steal the city.

He Qing'er stole the city, how could she succeed, it was more likely that she would be successfully repelled.

But under such repetition, even if Li Xuan is a soldier in the city, I am afraid that few people can rest at ease.

Even if he has other back-ups, the advantage will be quickly compressed by this means.

But...... That's actually fine, and a lot of things can be avoided in this way.

Li Xuan turned his head to look in the northeast direction, which was where the divine capital Luoyang was located.

Reaching out and grabbing the two paper paintings, Li Xuan's wrist flicked, and the two paper paintings had already flown down to the small lake in front of him, which was soaked by the lake very quickly, but then quickly fell into the water lake, and the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake surged, and in a blink of an eye, the two paper paintings had been completely torn apart.

Li Xuan turned around, put his hands in his sleeves, and then walked towards the front yard with a cold face.

……

Black leather boots, black fish scale armor, black and gold helmet.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Xuan held a black lance and walked step by step to the head of Meiling Pass.

On the left and right sides of the gate tower, there are two catapults that have been modified to fit the width of the city wall.

Feng Hua, Wang Qin, Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Qiu Zhenmu, Qi Guang and others all stood on the city gate tower and arched their hands at Li Xuan: "Lord Wang! ”

Li Xuan nodded at everyone, then walked through everyone and walked to the battlement, his face solemn.

Yu Ze and Wang Bowei are here, they are in Lanxi County at the moment.

Together with the county commander Xu Wen, he actively organized various materials and quickly transported them to Meiling Pass.

These things are the key issues related to how long they can hold out in Meiling Pass, and they are far more important than killing the enemy in battle.

Under the city gate, a mile away, five hundred gray-clothed soldiers were forming a whole team with expressionless faces.

With a sharp long knife in his left hand and a solid wooden shield in his right hand, this is just a simple team of sword and shield soldiers.

At the forefront of these sword and shield soldiers, wearing a suit of chain mail, it was Xu Shan that Li Xuan had seen through Ye Wanwan before.

Behind the neatly arranged formation, there were two groups of soldiers, each carrying a ladder.

On the side of the ladder, standing at the edge of the woods, staring at all this carefully, ready to watch Li Xuan's means, it was Zhang Wanyu.

Li Xuan looked at Zhang Wanyu from a distance, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled.

Zhang Wanyu seemed to see Li Xuan's appearance, as if she also saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, she raised her head calmly, looked at the direction of the city gate expressionlessly, and finally, spit out two words in her mouth: "Order, attack!" ”

"The order was given, the enemy bandits appeared within range, and the catapults attacked immediately." Li Xuan gave an order, and everyone present immediately agreed.

At this time, Li Xuan looked sideways at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Since they are here, they don't want to leave, this king wants to leave this team of people behind." ”

"Whoa!" Everyone present instantly grasped Li Xuan's plan.

Leaving all these 500 people under Meiling Pass, although Li Xuan's tone was very loud, none of them felt that it could be completed.

"Stepping on the ......" came with the sound of small footsteps.

Under the city wall, a famous sword and shield soldier shrank under the shield and rushed towards the city gate with fast steps.

From time to time, the direction of their journey changes from side to side, sometimes to the left, and sometimes to the right, making it impossible to accurately capture their tracks.

Serpentine positioning.

The Tianyin Sect still has some capable people, and although the trebuchet is extremely powerful, its direction and landing are too easy to predict.

With care, the power of catapults will be greatly limited.

But is that really the case?

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth showed a slight sneer, his eyes looked at the catapults on both sides, and at the first moment when those swords and shields rushed into the range of the catapults, Li Xuan waved his hand violently.

In the next moment, two round boulders had been projected directly from the city wall.

They kept rolling in mid-air, smashing towards the top of the Heavenly Yin Soldier below.

With a "bang", an unlucky head was immediately smashed.

Plasma splashes.
