Chapter 596: Surprise Attack on Hump Mountain Pass

The wall of the Hump Pass has four floors, from the top to the bottom is wider than the first floor, there is a staircase on the back to go up to the highest floor, and the front is from the top floor to the bottom level, so when the troops retreat, they first climb to the top floor, and then return to the inside of the pass from the stairs.

Each floor has caves to hide from ranged attacks such as enemy bows, catapults, and magic. There is only one narrow trail to climb up, and it is easy to be attacked by the hidden weapons holes on both sides.

Two hanging baskets, each large enough to hold ten fully armed soldiers, were placed on the city wall, and the scouts were pulled up the wall in batches.

The captain of the scout took the initiative to find the officer defending the city and asked about the situation at the western pass.

The officer asked the scout captain to listen attentively, "Listen, the enemy army has begun to attack, there are probably tens of thousands of Shaodian troops driving to the foot of Hump Mountain, and if the Giant Sheep City battalion does not send reinforcements, we may not be able to hold out tomorrow morning." ”

Without waiting for the officer to take the initiative to ask, the scout captain said, "I have long heard that there is a safe passage in the swamp to bypass Hump Mountain, and it turns out to be true." More than ten miles from here, we spotted thousands of troops in khaki uniforms in the distance, who cut us off our way back to the camp. It is estimated that it will not be long before this place is attacked. ”

"Then I'll have someone take you to the Eagle Room, and quickly send the news back to the camp first. ”

"Wait, my subordinate has already written the ciphertext, wait for him to come up and go to interrogate. ”

The captain of the scout stopped the officers guarding the city, apparently not wanting to leave the wall.

The scout team was exactly 200 people, and it took ten trips to lift all the people up with the two hanging baskets, so in order to speed up the progress, the officer simply asked the soldiers of the two squadrons to pull the hanging baskets, for fear that it would be too late for the young soldiers to kill and cause casualties among the friendly troops.

Two of the last scouts to come up were unusually tall, and the officers defending the city did not remember the impression that there were such figures in the Third Legion, and they were suspicious at the moment.

"Didn't you scout team lead the team before, and when did it change to you?" the officer asked.

Ding Kui's pretended scout captain rolled his eyes, laughed, and said, "Yes, I haven't been the scout captain of the Meng Army for a long time, less than a morning." Do it!"

Before he finished speaking, the "Wind Cone" in his hand had reached the throat of the officer defending the city.

Ao Yu, Feng Liang, Ji Xing, Peng Zhu, Bai Qian, Li Hao and others all pulled out their weapons and killed the Meng army beside them.

Xue Sheng and Jiang Jiao led people to grab the rope of the hanging basket and continued to pull the two hanging baskets that were halfway up the city wall.

Bang, a bolt of magic light shot into the air.

A redbeard flew up as he untied his armor and threw it to the ground one by one, then quickly put on his white magician's robe, conjured a magic wand out of thin air, and proudly stopped in mid-air.

At this time, the defenders at the east gate of the Hump Mountain Pass reacted, and this strange group of scouts turned out to be enemy soldiers who had come to sneak attack.

Ding Kui shot viciously, picking officers to kill, and wherever he rushed in a dark red fighting armor, a corpse would fall over there. After more than ten breaths, he rushed to the highest floor, and a shot killed the deputy commander of the East Gate.

The principal and deputy commanders were all killed, and the defenders of the pass were suddenly in chaos.

More than a hundred of the five hundred people in the city fell in the first round of sneak attacks, including five officers wearing the armor of the squadron leader. The remaining more than 300 people took the squad as a unit and launched a counterattack under the command of the squad leader.

"Feng Liang took people down to open the gate, Long Tan led people to lower the drawbridge, and the 'Ding Kui Squadron' guarded the top floor for me, and didn't let go of a single Meng army. Ding Kui began to look for the squad leader to kill.

Ming Tang Shi gave magic shields to the special combat personnel who encountered danger, but never applied a magic to Meng Jun's body.

The Meng army sent magicians to defend the pass, but they were all attracted to the west, thinking that the east side of the rear formed a vacuum of magical power.

There are two walls at the east and west passes of Hump Mountain, but the second wall is only one layer, which cannot accommodate too many defenders.

The second Meng army on the city wall found that the first wall was attacked by the enemy, and immediately organized troops to rush over to support.

"Ding Yu! Kill all those who are officials. "Ding Kui stood at the highest point, observing the situation inside the pass.

The 3,000-strong army that was lying in ambush outside the pass rushed to the main road and rushed towards the pass gate.

As soon as a squadron leader of the defenders came out of the second gate with three hundred people, he found that Feng Liang was about to open the gate with dozens of people, and he didn't care about going to the first wall to rescue, so he turned to stop Feng Liang and the others.

But in a flash of blue light, a large hole exploded in the squadron leader's forehead, and his subordinates couldn't see clearly what had pierced the boss's head.

Long Tan led fifty shield-breaking knights to kill before the defenders destroyed the drawbridge winch, and a wave of swords and guns added another round of charge, and a squadron of defenders was wiped out.

"Be careful, don't break the winch, the drawbridge in this direction is still useful. Long Tan told this group of shield-breaking knights from the 206th Division to let them slowly lower the drawbridge.

After capturing the pass, it is necessary to hold on for a period of time to prevent the Meng army in Juyang City from counterattacking.

The two hundred people who sneaked into the west gate of the Hump Mountain Pass were the best of the two thousand elites, not counting the sixth-level magician in the sky who only defended and could not attack, there was also a great martial artist and a fearless knight, such a lineup was not something that the defenders of the Meng Kingdom could resist.

The five hundred Meng troops of the first city wall were cleared before the Shaodian reinforcements arrived, and the three hundred people who rushed out of the second city wall fought with Feng Liang and others on the passage, and the reason why they did not retreat was because the second gate had been closed.

By the time Ding Kui led the "Ding Kui Squadron" to kill, there were less than 100 Meng troops on the passage who could fight.

"For the sake of Meng Guo, kill!" A Meng army squad leader brandished a mace and rushed towards Ding Kui, and before he could take two steps, three sharp arrows flew one after another, hitting him in the thigh, and then a spear exploded his head.

"The trapped beasts are still fighting, and they are all killed! We have no extra food to feed the captives. Ding Kui lowered the tip of the gun, rushed with the sole of his foot, and took the life of a Meng army squad leader with a thrust.

This is a new move he learned from the "Star Diamond", and although it can't be compared to the charging skill, it also has a good kill efficiency.

Squeak, the east gate of the pass slowly opened, and the reinforcements rushing to the front had stepped onto the suspension bridge.

"Ding Yu," Ding Kui pointed to the second wall, "pull me up." The archers pressed the head of the wall, and the others waited for me to throw the rope ladder down. ”

Ao Yu grabbed Ding Kui's arm and jumped into the air and flew straight to the wall.

"Great Martial Master!" Meng Jun shouted in horror, and only then did they discern Ao Yu's true strength.

Ao Yu, who was fighting with the small soldiers, didn't use all his strength at all, and Meng Jun didn't see the mini green dragon he played clearly, but as soon as he flew up, he exposed his sixth-level combat power.

The Meng army didn't even have a fifth-level combat power, so they easily let Ding Kui and Ao Yu fly up the wall, and Ding Kui still had a flame shield on his body, which completely crushed the morale of the Meng army.

Ding Kui caught the rope ladder thrown down in the air, fixed it on the battlement, and then threw down the city wall, and when he looked back, he found that half of the Meng army on the second city wall had run away.

Fight and can't fight, block and can't stop, anyone who encounters such an opponent will lose their fighting spirit, and the Meng army who remained on the city wall is not particularly courageous, but the stairs are occupied and they can't squeeze in.

The battle on the west side of Hump Mountain also began to be fierce, and no Meng army dared to drill out of the hidden soldier hole in the western pass under the long-range attack of the Shaodian army.

The commander of the Meng army was also in the cave of the hidden soldiers, and there were ten magicians hiding behind him.

Don't dare to come forward to fight, the enemy army has at least ten times more magicians, and if you go out, you will definitely be blown up by volleys.

The defenders of the northern and southern armies finally lost their breath, opened the gate of the wall, and rushed out with the death squad, intending to attack the 207th Division from two flanks.

The Shaodian army that attacked the military village on both sides each divided a team of men and horses, and chased behind the Meng army's death squad, as long as the Meng army dared to rush down the mountain, they covered and killed from behind, and attacked from both sides.

The commander of the pass saw the situation of the military fortresses on both sides from the lookout eye, and immediately ordered: "Raise the banner and tell the northern and southern military villages that we have no losses, and the enemy army will not be able to destroy the city wall by relying on long-range attacks alone if they do not enter the city." ”

The Meng army death squad, which had just rushed halfway, retreated, and the entrapment troops sent by the Shaodian army also retreated to their own position.

"Yo, I'm quite calm, I don't know what he (the pass guard) will do when he sees an enemy behind him?"

The herald of the Meng army seemed to hear Lianggong's self-talk, and braved magic and feather arrows to rush into the hidden soldier cave commanded by the pass, "It's a big deal, there is an enemy army pretending to be a scout of our army and sneaking up on the east pass, and the first wall is ...... when the subordinates come."

Before he could finish his sentence, the long sword of the pass's command stabbed into the throat of the herald.

"There is a third captain in the East Pass, there will be no problem in a short time, you shouldn't lie about the military situation to frame the commander. Captain Qian, you take two squadrons to the second wall, and pass on my order that no one can enter or leave there, and those who disobey will be killed on the spot. The commander of the pass looked iron-blue.

It's not that he doesn't trust the heralds, it's that he's afraid that the news will spread. There are still 2,000 soldiers to fight in the western pass, and as long as the morale is there, he can hold it for a while even if the eastern pass falls, but if the news spreads in the western pass, it will definitely hit the morale seriously.

The second wall of the eastern pass did not last long, the original two hundred defenders ran away more than a hundred, Ding Kui and Ao Yu did not pursue those deserters, the two of them worked together to open the second gate, and let the Shaodian army that continued to pour into the pass in.

"Long Tan, lead people to extinguish the wolf smoke, and the 201st Division will return to the first wall with me. Ding Kui once again gave up the credit.

Ao Yu followed behind Ding Kui and said, "Why don't you fight? ”

"Why are you so murderous?" Ming Tang flew to Ao Yu's head.

Ding Kui glanced at Ao Yu and hurriedly explained to Ming Tang: "He has just broken through not long ago, and he needs more and more fierce battles to stabilize the realm, it's not that he likes to kill." ”

Ming Tang wanted to say something, but his face suddenly changed, "Huh?" his eyes looked at the eastern sky.

The white light flashed, revealing a blurred figure.

"Ding Yu pay attention, cooperate with me to make a move. Ming Tang's face was solemn.
