Chapter 178: Re-attacking the Wind Dragon Pass
Twilight.
At dusk in northern Xinjiang, there is not the slightest mood of "the sunset is infinitely good", and there are only endless gunpowder smoke and a blood-colored sky.
"Xulou urgently, the Beidi army is coming to the city-"
The wind dragon lord closed, a watchout tower, and the voice of the soldier sounded high. Immediately, the horn of the awakening camp also sounded.
With a group of lieutenant generals, Chen Jing frowned, walked to the edge of the city wall, and looked at the army outside the city pass, there was nothing wrong with it, as he thought, the army of the Di people, after learning about the situation of entering the urn, returned to Fenglong Pass in the fastest time.
"General Chen, here!"
"Yes." Chen Jing nodded calmly.
Today's Fenglong Sanguan, Zhong Lu and Li Chun, each guarding the left and right. The more than 4,000 people of Li Kui in the internal battalion were used as mobile reserves to rush to the aid at any time.
In addition, Chen Jing also had a plan, if it was to the north of Chengguan, Di Guo would send reinforcements, saying that he would not bring 10,000 horsemen and go out of the city to wait for an opportunity to intercept him.
"Push the Eight Bull Crossbow!"
"Open the bow window of the Arrow Tower!"
"The trench oil is all buried?"
"All the troops are in formation!"
For a time, at the head of the city of the Wind Dragon Lord, there were guards gathered everywhere. Under the leadership of Chen Jing and a group of generals, they prepared to defend the city pass.
……
"National teacher, it's time to Wind Dragon Pass!"
Di Guo's army was in the front, and in the midst of the guards, Huo Feng's face was full of gloom. Although it is not yet a defeat, but now, more than 100,000 people and horses, whether they are walking or riding, have been forcibly blocked in the two levels.
The originally morale-boosting southern expedition was like a joke. At this time, he only waited for the resumption of the attack on Fenglong Pass, tried to occupy the city pass, and then tried to conquer the great cause of the south.
According to the intelligence previously investigated, there were at least tens of thousands of defenders in Fenglong Pass in front of them. On the left side of the wind dragon, there is also the bell flag of Hucheng.
If there is no mistake, even the rebels on the other side of Hucheng have entered the Fenglong Pass at this time and helped garrison them.
Huo Feng raised his head and laughed angrily.
Before entering the customs this time, he always felt that something was missing. If you think about it now, it is actually the general of the Ran people surnamed Chen.
If you knew this, you should have guarded against it. Sometimes, a pawn can ruin a good game.
"Get ready, tackle the problem in two hours!" Huo Feng's face swelled with anger.
"The great cause of my Di country cannot be broken and sunk in the sand here!"
Under Huo Feng's roar, many generals around him also became murderous.
At the head of the city, Chen Jing has been watching carefully, beware of Di Ren's breakthrough.
The three passes of the wind and dragon are garrisoned by large armies, and they should be able to hold them in a short time. But what to pay attention to is the strategy of the Shenlu National Master.
Of course, Chen Jing also believed that Li Chong, who was in Changhe Pass, would find a way to cooperate with them to encircle and annihilate the trapped Beidi army.
"General Chen, the Di people have set up camp outside the city."
"If you set up camp, you will attack to the death."
If it was a reckless army, after the soldiers came to the city, they would launch an attack regardless of the ground, Chen Jing would be happy. But at this moment, the national teacher of Di Guo is obviously more cautious.
About two hours later, just waiting for the camp, in the military formation of Di Guo, there was a horn to attack, and in a short time, the mighty phalanx had been gathered, like a spearhead, aimed at the direction of Fenglong Pass.
"The prince has an order, the national teacher has an order, and the army has an order-"
Just waiting for the order, all of a sudden, one by one, the Di country phalanx began to raise their shields and move forward.
In the rear position, Di Guo's catapult with the army was also pushed over, just waiting to enter the firing range, and for a while, the whistling stones fell on the city pass.
In the city pass, the catapult battalion defending the city was also not to be outdone, just waiting for the war together, they also filled the animal skin elastic pockets, and threw a lump of boulders outside the city.
The arrow tower on the main gate, the bow window that was pushed open, and countless arrows intertwined into rain, relying on cover, were thrown towards the besieging Di Kingdom phalanx.
At the head of the city, there were also guards' foot bows, which were thrown in unison.
In the night, the flying arrows that covered the sky and the moon fell to the ground one after another, and after a while, the screams could be heard.
Chen Jing's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to be careless.
Under the city pass, Tang Ao led more than 100 people, as wartime herald scouts, riding horses and running constantly.
The three levels of the wind dragon, as long as one of them is broken by the Di people, the army will rush in.
"Send an order to Tang Ao, and assign thirty horsemen to the left and right passes, and every half an hour, no matter what happens, they will immediately return to the main pass to report."
"Chen will rest assured."
Chen Jing exhaled, raised his head again, and looked at the battle under the city wall. As he expected, according to the cunning of the Divine Deer National Master, the first round of siege was like a temptation, and it was not considered a dead force.
But even so, it still caused a lot of pressure on the guards at the head of the city.
"Shoot back!"
At the head of the city, the throwing of the foot archers did not stop, and they were condescending, and the Di people who were shot kept falling in front of the city pass.
……
"National teacher, this Ran people...... How did you become so fierce? Hao Lianxiong, as the crown prince of Di Guo, couldn't help but be anxious at this time.
If you can't break through the customs quickly, I'm afraid that in a short time, the grain road will be cut off, which will cause a catastrophe.
"I was thinking earlier, that Ran General surnamed Chen is an incredible person. I guessed it. Huo Feng half-narrowed his eyes, paused, and turned his gaze in the direction to the left.
The wind dragon has three levels, and only one of them is broken, which is considered a success.
"Can the national teacher pay attention?"
"For today's law, only by making a big move and letting the warriors of the Di Kingdom go first, can we slowly tear apart the defensive position of the Ran people."
"How do you get there first? Before the phalanx of our Di Kingdom reached the trench, we suffered heavy casualties. The high walls of the Fenglong Pass City are thick...... Damn, I knew that was the case, I sent more people to garrison it. If that's the case, how can the Ran people succeed in a surprise attack! ”
"Prince, there is no need to be anxious." Huo Feng comforted, raised his head fiercely, and looked at Fenglong Pass under the cover of night.
"I have a plan in my belly. If this plan succeeds, we will be able to reoccupy Fenglong Pass, tear open the barrier of the northern frontier of the Ran people, and prepare for the next round of southern expeditions. ”
Huo Feng retracted his gaze, his eyes becoming colder and colder.
"National teacher?"
Huo Feng didn't reply immediately, calmly got off the horse, then bent down, stretched out his palm, stroked the yellow sand ground, and after a long time, he raised his hair and asked.
"Did the prince find that although there is sand in the area behind Fenglong Guancheng, there is mud under the sand."
"Naturally, if it weren't for that, how could it be built here. National teacher, don't you have a good way? ”
Huo Feng nodded calmly.
"Underneath the sand here, there's the fill. If you want to break through the wind and dragon pass, you can only use the secret method to enter the city pass, and there will be a turnaround. ”
"Before the food is cut off, it's a pity that the time is too short to make too many arrangements, so we can only seek stability in danger."
Huo Feng's brows furrowed suddenly, and when he looked up at Fenglong Pass, his eyes looked extremely gloomy.
