Once again, the guards lifted the stones and threw them at the heads of the bandits who tried to climb up, but this time, the effect was much worse, and only a few of the bandits were hit by the stones and rolled down the ladder.

And the soldiers who tried to knock down the ladder did not succeed, because the iron hook was so tightly hooked on the city wall that they spent a lot of effort, but the ladder did not move, and many bandits took the opportunity to climb the wall.

"Get rid of them!" After the general in charge of guarding the pass shouted, he took the lead in picking up the weapon in his hand and rushed towards a bandit who was emerging on the wall of the pass.

The other officers and men followed suit, shouting and killing the bandits who tried to rush up the wall, after all, the bandits who climbed to the top of the ladder were a minority, and it was inconvenient to stand on the ladder to show their hands and feet, and many of them were killed by the officers and soldiers not long after they appeared.

The bandits in the back saw the fight above and wanted to go up to help, but the number of people who could stand at the same time on the ladder was limited, so they could only hurry and had no other way. In the end, with the full efforts of the officers and soldiers, the bandits left behind many corpses and had to retreat again.

The siege lasted for a day, and both sides paid some casualties, but the more losses were the bandits on the besieging side, which made Qi Jiao very frustrated, and when it was not dark, she ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

The next day, when the city was attacked, the officers and soldiers used boiling water and boiling oil, and the bandits lost a lot, although they reached the city several times, but each time they were driven down by the officers and soldiers, this day, the bandits had to leave hundreds of corpses and hastily withdraw the troops.

This siege lasted for three days, and the bandits never took Shishou Pass, which reduced everyone's morale a lot, and even Qi Jiao, who was in charge of the command, began to become sad.

On the fourth day, Qi Jiao did not give the order to attack Shishou Pass, and the order given to the bandits was to rest for a day, in fact, because he had not yet found a way to capture this pass.

On this day, Qi Jiao came to the pass again and looked up and down, hoping to find a way to conquer this level, many thoughts flashed in his mind, but none of them could solve the current problem, so Qi Jiao felt very depressed, and her temper became bad.

In the afternoon, Qi Jiao locked herself in the military tent and ordered her subordinates to let no one disturb her, and sat alone in the tent and sulked.

"Leader Qi, the military advisor has sent someone." Someone shouted softly outside the door.

"I didn't mean that no one was allowed to disturb ......" Qi Jiao didn't finish her sentence, but when she heard that it was the military advisor Zhuge Ying who sent someone, he immediately lit up and immediately asked his subordinates to bring someone over.

"Report to Leader Qi, the military advisor heard that you couldn't attack Shishou Pass for a long time, so he specially asked his subordinates to send a bag of tricks and a pigeon cage to help Leader Qi break through." The words of the person who came immediately made Qi Jiao happy, and the military advisor was clever and came up with a good way for himself.

But when Qi Jiao opened the bag, his brows furrowed again, because he really didn't understand Zhuge Ying and what was the use of letting him do this. But Qi Jiao really couldn't think of a way to break through Shishou Pass at this time, so she had to act according to Zhuge Ying's method.

Qi Jiao under the pass had a sad face, and the leading generals guarding the Shishou Pass were not having a good time, and the bandits attacked for several days in a row, although they did not succeed in capturing the Shishou Pass. However, the price paid for closing the gate was not small, not only lost a lot of supplies, but also paid nearly 20% of the casualties of the soldiers.

If this battle continues, I am afraid that in another seven or eight days, there will be no troops to send in my hands, although I have sent fast horses to the nearby garrison to ask for help, but it will take a lot of time to come and go.

Today, the bandits stopped attacking, which made the defender general breathe a sigh of relief, but he also knew that this was just a temporary recuperation, maybe the next time the bandits attacked more fiercely, and the casualties would be further aggravated.

When it was dark, the general who defended the city finally got the good news, saying that a team of officers and soldiers who were on a mission nearby had heard the news that bandits had attacked Shishou Pass, and took the initiative to help defend the pass.

Although there were only more than 100 soldiers in a group, the general defending the city had no room for pickiness at this time, and even personally brought people to the back of the pass to greet this team of uninvited officers and soldiers.

"Below is the Chuzhou battalion is Zhang Wei, the commander is on a mission nearby, I heard that the bandits are tackling key problems, and I am willing to take my team to help the general. I also hope to report to the imperial court after the war, so that I can give the villain a little military merit. The team named Zhang Wei saw the general guarding the pass, and hurriedly said.

"Team Zhang is coming just in time, when Ben Jiang is in short supply of manpower, you can rest assured, after this incident, Ben will definitely personally submit a letter to the court to make a contribution to Team Zhang."

This pair of soldiers came very abruptly, but the guard officer did not doubt it much, this small team, it is difficult to get the opportunity to obtain military merits on weekdays, seeing that people are needed here at this time, it is normal to fight a battle and earn some credit.

As soon as there was a shortage of people at the pass, the general guarding the pass immediately joined the team of soldiers to replenish the troops lost in the previous days. In this way, you can hold out for several more days, and it is very likely that you will wait for reinforcements sent by the imperial court.

Regarding the changes in Shishou Pass, Qi Jiao didn't know at all. There are only eight words on the bag sent by Zhuge Ying, "release the carrier pigeon and attack the Xiongguan", he really doesn't understand the meaning of these eight words, such a big broken bird can help him capture this Shishou Pass. But now there is no other way, he has to open the cage and release the pigeon in the cage as Zhuge Ying said.

Holding a sigh of relief in her heart, on the second day, Qi Jiao simply led people to attack Shishou Pass. This time, Qi Jiao was also ruthless, using all the building cars, ladders, catapults and crossbows, and under the cover of these siege equipment, he led people to kill the wall.

As all the bandits expected, this operation was met with a strong counterattack from the officers and men of Guanshang, who had already prepared boiling water, tung oil, and stones and desperately smashed them on the bandits' heads.

Qi Jiao held a shield in one hand and a big knife in the other, and when he saw the boiling water, he used the shield to resist, and when he encountered the stone that fell down, he simply waved it away, and it didn't take too long for him to climb to the top of the ladder.

Seeing Qi Jiao so brave, the bandits also fought, they risked all kinds of dangers and tried to climb towards the wall, although some of them were already scarred, but they had no intention of retreating, gritting their teeth and trying to climb upward.

"Brothers, kill the enemy with me and drive them down!" The leading general guarding the pass was also a ruthless man, and seeing that Qi Jiao was very brave, he simply picked up a big knife and rushed over, and the two sides immediately fought together.

The other guards also rushed to the bandits who were standing on the ladder and showing their heads on the wall, and the two sides immediately began the fiercest battle. Although the bandits were very brave, the officers and men took advantage of the terrain and gradually took control of the situation, and there was a tendency to suppress the bandits.

"Zhang Teamzheng, how did you kill your own people?" At this time, there was a sudden change among the officers and soldiers, a soldier covered his chest, and Zhang Wei not far away, because this person had stabbed himself just now.

However, Zhang Wei did not answer the soldier's words, but just smiled and drew a big knife, and swung it at the soldier's neck, and the huge head quickly rolled far away.

At the same time, more than 100 soldiers brought by Zhang Wei all launched attacks on the officers and soldiers beside them, and these officers and soldiers never dreamed that their companions, who were still fighting side by side just now, would swing their swords and kill them.

Caught off guard, many soldiers guarding the pass fell in a pool of blood, there were bandits rushing on the ladder, and there were companions who killed them beside them, and the soldiers guarding the pass immediately made a mess, some continued to fight with the bandits, and some began to guard against their comrades.

Seeing this change, how could Qi Jiao and the bandits around him let go of such a good opportunity, many people took the opportunity to kill the officers and soldiers in front and jumped on top of the wall.

And when the general guarding the pass was fighting with Qi Jiao, a big knife slashed over beside him, but fortunately he reacted in time, but he was only slightly injured. Seeing that it was Zhang Wei, who came to support him who cut him with a knife, he immediately understood that he had been fooled.

At this time, Qi Jiao also took the opportunity to jump on the city wall and face the general guarding the pass with the "Zhang Wei". The kung fu of this general guarding the pass is not bad, but Qi Jiao and "Zhang Wei" are not ordinary people, plus hearing that the soldiers around him are constantly being killed, this general guarding the pass is a little in a hurry, and one was accidentally slashed in the arm by Zhang Wei, and then reaped his life by Qi Jiao.

At this moment, the battle on the wall was also coming to an end, more and more bandits rushed to the wall, and the soldiers guarding the wall who were attacked from both sides were quickly defeated. The killing of the leading general became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the soldiers guarding the pass completely abandoned their duties and only thought about seizing the road and escaping.

In the end, the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers guarding Shishou Pass, except for a small number who surrendered when they saw that the situation was not good, all the rest were killed, and not a single fish escaped the net.

"Huzi, it turns out that you are ......, brother, I misunderstood you, I apologize to you first!" Seeing that the victory was in hand, Qi Jiao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the "Zhang Wei" and said excitedly.

It turned out that "Zhang Wei" was none other than Zhao Hu, who grew up with Ye Ying in the backing village and entered the new barracks with Qi Jiao. The moment she saw Zhao Hu, Qi Jiao immediately understood that he didn't really betray Ye Ying, but a secret weapon left by Sima Chi's side.

"Actually, the battle situation here has been decided, so I will take people away, and besides, don't tell anyone if you see me, and none of these people can be put back." Zhao Hu didn't say anything to Qi Jiao, and pointed to the captured officers and soldiers.

"Brother, don't worry, I know, the days of the tiger and wolf's den are dangerous, and I hope my brother will take care of himself." Although Qi Jiao is anxious, he is not stupid, and he knows that if Zhao Hu stays here for a moment, it will be more dangerous.

"Say hello to the boss for me!" Zhao Hu said another word to Qi Jiao, and then left in a hurry with his men.

"I wonder when our brothers will have the chance to fight side by side again?" Looking at Zhao Hu's back in a hurry, Qi Jiao muttered.
