Chapter 238: Above the Dry Pass

Suo Zhenbei has 300,000 soldiers guarding the Qianguan, that is, the border checkpoint between the north and the west, and Suo Chen is only behind the Qianguan with less than 20,000 soldiers.

Before, the base camp in Suozhenbei was not in Qianguan, but in the western territory, a group of arrogant people.

Later, Shengsheng was beaten back by those monks and hit the top of the Qianguan.

Moreover, if it weren't for the time that his guards bought with their lives, I'm afraid he would have died there.

Moreover, after this battle, his attitude towards future wars took a big turn.

As a general, he can be stubborn and stick to his original methods of warfare, but he will die on the battlefield.

Moreover, Suo Longtang reuses Suo Zhenbei, not just because the other party is his brother.

Another reason is that Suo Zhenbei is a real soldier, he is on the front line all the year round, eats and lives with those soldiers, and has a strong control over the army and a strong cohesion.

But after the last fight, he found that the pattern of the war had completely changed, and the soldiers might still be the main force of the battle.

But the monk will also play an irreplaceable role in it, and if one of them does not have the help of the monk, it is tantamount to seeking death.

Therefore, Suo Zhenbei immediately applied to Beidi for monks to join the battlefield, and Suo Zhenbei readily agreed.

I was in too much of a hurry, and my great cause had not yet been fully rolled out, so I had to let the monk go to the battlefield.

There is no way to do this, if you honestly live in a backward way, Zhongzhou will not do anything to you.

But if you suddenly turn a corner, find the right way, and are determined to do it, then sorry, you have to die.

If you really let you develop for a hundred years, you can't really have the capital to fight with Zhongzhou.

But now, Zhongzhou does not intend to give Beidi this opportunity, and intends to directly strangle it in the cradle.

Suo Zhenbei was looking at the sand table in front of him in the big tent, and his expression was extremely serious.

To put it simply, there are currently three teams of men and horses in the western border, which are aimed at the middle gate of Qianguan and the small gates on both sides.

This structure is historically remarkable, as peacetime has lasted for hundreds of years.

The main role of the three gates at that time was to distinguish the transportation of goods and screen different tariffs.

But I didn't expect that now it has become a very fatal death hole in Qianguan.

All three gates are important, and any one of them is fatal.

But in this era when there are no telephones, Suo Zhenbei can indeed guard three passes by himself, but the efficiency is slow after all.

Moreover, he can't take care of many details, and he needs at least two generals with enough experience to deal with the north and south gates.

His right-hand men had already sacrificed a few in the process of covering him, and a few were seriously injured, and now there was only one one that could be used, Suo Yan.

Suo Yan was originally not surnamed Suo, but Xingquan, but later followed Suo Zhenbei to be born and died for decades, and Suo Zhenbei applied to Suo Longtang for the imperial surname and changed his surname to Suo.

This was already a great honor at that time, and Suo Yan was even more loyal to Suo Zhenbei.

When Wu Cheng and the others arrived at Qianguan in the north, they were really impressed by the Xiongguan in front of them.

A black city wall several kilometers long appeared in the eyes of everyone, and the wall was 23 meters high and more than 10 meters thick.

Qianguan is in the middle of two high mountains, intercepting this only road from the west to the north. 400

At this time, in the big tent, just when Suo Zhenbei was deep in thought, Suo Chen brought people to arrive, a group of two, Wu Cheng and Suo Chen.

Seeing Suo Chen coming, Suo Zhenbei stepped forward to say hello warmly.

The two of them had met before, and Suo Chen was still gathering troops at that time, so he chose a place behind Qianguan to repair.

Now that Wu Cheng is here, he happened to go to the top of Qianguan together, and he saw the ruined battlefield on the way, which couldn't help but make his heart tremble.

Suo Zhenbei saluted slightly when he saw Wu Cheng, after all, Suo Longtang had explained Wu Cheng's identity and revealed some strength.

Suo Zhenbei is indeed arrogant, but he is not stupid, if he pretends to be forced, he won't even know how to die in the next second.

Wu Cheng opened his mouth and said, "Now that we have arrived at the territory of the big handsome, everything is up to the big handsome." ”

Wu Cheng is also a good person, and one sentence directly dispelled Suo Zhenbei's doubts.

Suo Zhenbei originally had a mustard in his heart, worried that Wu Cheng would not be able to command, if this was the case, he would rather not use it than let Wu Cheng become a breakthrough for the enemy.

Can Suo Zhenbei not use the power of the monks?

The answer is yes, because this city was specially fortified by Suo Longtang before.

Among them, there are a large number of powerful bows and crossbows, even if they are in the Spirit Devouring Realm, they can't take an arrow, which is also the reason why Qianguan is still there today.

Suo Zhenbei admired the foresight of Suo Longtang, if it weren't for these powerful bows and crossbows, Qianguan would have been broken long ago.

In normal mode, the monk flies directly onto the city wall, and then goes on a killing spree, and the siege ladder below also comes up.

But now it has changed, which of these monks dares to fly, and directly countless arrows are shot over, and they instantly become hedgehogs.

This is embarrassing, even those physical cultivators can barely take an arrow, but they can't be attacked by arrows all the time.

Therefore, now that it has reached a stalemate, Xijing has to change its thinking, after all, most of these monks are from Zhongzhou, and Zhongzhou is not allowed to suffer such a big loss.

So they considered using this force as a surprise force, either hiding and attacking the city gates, or popping up when the two armies were almost running out of ammunition and food.

This is also the most important point to watch out for in Suo Zhenbei, and it is also the most headache.

Suo Chen also said, "Before leaving, my father explained that when he arrived at Qianguan, everything was arranged by Suo Shuai, and there was no objection." ”

The officer's favorite obedient soldier, Suo Zhenbei is still quite satisfied with the two.

But he won't put the two of them in an important position, after all, the identities of the two people are not ordinary, and it will be difficult to deal with if there is a loss.

Wu Cheng's monk corps was placed on top of the Qianguan, and only after the other monk's came up did they need to be dispatched.

Wu Cheng is still quite satisfied with Suo Zhenbei's arrangement, and it seems that he is also very good at being a person.

As for Suo Chen, the fifth highness who was most disliked by the Northern Emperor, Suo Zhenbei arranged for him to guard the north gate with Suo Yan, and Wu Cheng's monk troops also went to the north gate.

In terms of rank, Suo Chen is higher than Suo Chen, but in terms of military rank, Suo Yan is Suo Chen's superior.

For this kind of subordinate, Suo Yan didn't dare to use it, but arranged it to the reserve, in case something happened to Suo Chen, he could also go directly to die.

For this arrangement, Suo Chen had expected it, and he was also very happy with the six children of the family behind him.

Wu Cheng always kept a distance from Suo Chen, and the two rarely talked even if they were parallel.
