The Great Snow Mountain has suffered three large-scale attacks, as well as countless killer sneak attacks, and it is still standing, becoming the most difficult bone to gnaw in Jinpeng Castle, which greatly surprised Dubu Wang and Zhang Ji.

In the grand strategy formulated by the two, the most important part is to borrow troops to invade the Shule country, followed by the occupation of the Central Plains stronghold near the eastern border, and the extermination of the snow bandits is just a small trouble to solve incidentally, according to the plan, this encirclement and suppression should end in half a month at most.

Now, the first two plans are progressing smoothly, the third young lord Shangguan Yun personally led 5,000 men and horses, thousands of miles to attack the Central Plains stronghold, and the battle was overcome, Shangguan who was hiding in the stronghold fled angrily, leaving the Central Plains to accumulate materials for several years, all of which belonged to Jinpeng Fort, Shangguan Yun was recruiting laborers to build a solid city in the east, preparing to meet the counterattack of the Central Plains.

The 10,000 cavalry of Beiting is even more overwhelming, winning consecutive battles, and has approached the capital of Shule State, and is still increasing its strength.

The camp of Daxue Mountain is located at the eastern entrance of Shule country, the location is very important, Dugu Xian led tens of thousands of people to besiege it, and it should have been taken as soon as possible, and then led the troops into Shule country, followed by the Beiting army to seize the city, but more than 20 days have passed, the camp of Daxue Mountain is still resisting, and Dugu Xian can only divide a small number of troops into Shule country, which greatly undermines Zhang Ji's strategy.

Beiting is a tiger, and Jinpeng Fort is barely a wolf compared to it, if the wolf shows weakness in the first cooperation, the tiger is likely to swallow the prey alone and kick the wolf aside, which is what Zhang Ji is most worried about.

The pressure on Dugu Xian's body has doubled, and he is preparing for the fourth strong attack, which will be the last time, at least for Dugu Xian, it will be the last time.

The camp of the Great Snow Mountains is still standing, but it is covered in scars and deeply divided inside.

In the past few months, the number of swordsmen in the Great Snow Mountain has been slowly increasing, reaching more than two thousand, plus the people brought by the old swordsman Tuo Nengya, the total number is three thousand five or six hundred, and after three major wars, they have lost almost one-third of their troops.

Not only that, but the first two lines of defense have been lost, and only the last one is left, and many people doubt whether they can stop the next attack.

The morale of the swordsmen did not decrease slightly, and after months of retreat, everyone was holding back a lot of strength in their hearts, and they would rather rush out to fight and die than wait for death in the camp.

Among the many generals, Tuo Nengya is the only one who insists on holding on, he once saved the Great Snow Mountain at the most critical moment, so he is highly respected, but recently, his status has declined, which is not his own fault, but as soon as the war started, many swordsmen fled and even betrayed, which greatly affected the swordsman's impression of the old swordsman.

That night, Tuo Nengya stepped on the last remnant snow of this winter, walked to the main tent, and prepared to discuss military affairs with the Wufeng patriarch again, deciding whether to fight or defend, the fifty-year-old swordsman never obeyed the old, but at this moment there was a feeling of powerlessness, and it was expected that he would probably be the loser of the negotiation.

But he still firmly believes that the dragon king will once again work a miracle to turn the tide.

When Gu Shenwei was far away in Shiguo, he suspected that Jinpeng Fort might find an excuse to resume the war, so he sent three swordsmen to return to the Daxue Mountain camp day and night to warn them, and the three of them arrived two days before the battle, so that Daxue Mountain gained valuable time to respond, which was one of the most important reasons why they were able to block the three strong attacks.

Because of this, Tonengya believed that the Dragon King would come back to save the army, and all they had to do was hold on to the camp and preserve their strength.

He entered the main tent, glanced at the people inside, and knew that his defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Several patriarchs arrived in advance, and it seemed that they had already agreed on their opinions.

There are a total of five patriarchs in the Great Snow Mountain, and the most prestigious Falling God Peak Patriarch Long Capture Eagle stayed in the mountain and assigned a young man of his clan to act as the patriarch, he rarely expressed his opinions, and always obeyed the decisions of the other four patriarchs.

Long Xiaoshi, the patriarch of Danduofeng, once pecked off by the red-capped Dapeng in one eye, but he was the most powerful figure among the five, and the patriarchs of the Great Sword Peak and the Little Sword Peak were willing to obey his orders.

The Huagai Peak Patriarch Long Chuanyun is a young man who has been a supporter of the old swordsman since he received the Dharma Protector Long Sword from the Dragon King with Tuo Nengya, but tonight, he lowered his head to avoid Tuo Nengya's gaze.

Long Xiaoshi stood up and spoke on behalf of all the swordsmen of the Five Peaks, "We have endured it for too long, the men of the Great Snow Mountain do not be turtles with shrunken heads, even if the troops of the entire Western Regions are guarding outside, we will rush out." ”

Long Xiaoshi's words clearly showed that there was no room for negotiation and maneuver in this matter, Tuo Neng had no interface, Long Xiaoshi paused, and continued, "We know that the swordsman's mind is different from ours, and we are not reluctant, when the decisive battle, the swordsman will rush to the front, and the others will fight or go, as much as they can. ”

With that, sit back in your seat.

Tuo Nengya untied the long sword of the Dharma Protector given by the Dragon King from his back, held it respectfully in his arms, and said, "Some have fled, some have betrayed, but please do not put the sin on those who have been left behind, have they not fought side by side with you and killed the enemy in blood?

The five people of Daxue Mountain looked very embarrassed, and the young patriarch of Huagai Peak, Long Zhuanyun, was a little red.

Long Xiaoshi stood up again, clenched his fists and apologized to the old swordsman, "I'm a rude person and can't speak, please forgive Boss Tuo, in my eyes, every swordsman who fights side by side is as good as the man in the Great Snow Mountain." However, we people are still a little different from you, we only know how to charge, not how to defend, and we are born to die on the battlefield. ”

Tuo Nengya sighed secretly in his heart, the dragon king found a group of the most heroic warriors, but there was no suitable commander, several patriarchs could not do it, and he could not do it.

"I'm not against a decisive battle. As soon as Tuo Nengya said this, several people in the tent looked happy, "I have only one request. ”

"Boss To, please speak. Long Xiaoshi became more and more polite.

"By all indications, Castle Jinpeng is preparing for a fourth assault, and it is likely that tomorrow, let's defend it again, and defeat the enemy's spirit, after which I will be the first to break out of the camp. ”

This is not the same as the plan negotiated by several patriarchs, so everyone's eyes fell on Long Xiaoshi, the Dragon King is not there, he is the leader of the Great Snow Mountain, Long Xiaoshi bowed his head and groaned, and never spoke.

"It's a battle sooner or later, so why do you have to wait any longer? Jinpeng Fort is coming, it's best, it's better to rush out tomorrow and kill it." The patriarch of the Great Sword Peak was anxious and rushed to say what was in his heart.

Huagai Peak Patriarch Long Chuanyun blushed and spoke, "I think Boss Tuo's words are very reasonable, and if you defend it again, you can make Jinpeng Castle more timid." ”

The patriarch of the Great Sword Peak slapped on his knee and rebuked angrily: "Jinpeng Castle is already as timid as a mouse, and it will only hurt people with secret arrows, are the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain still afraid that they will not succeed?"

Long Chuanyun's face became redder and redder, but he refused to back down at all, "I didn't say that I was afraid of Jinpeng Castle, but I didn't want to let my people die in vain." ”

The two looked at each other angrily, this was a common scene inside the Great Snow Mountain, Long Xiaoshi knew that if he didn't open his mouth, a bloody battle would be staged soon, so he stretched out his arms and said, "Okay, save your strength and go to the battlefield." It's better to defend first and then attack tomorrow, and give Jinpeng Fort a surprise. ”

The matter was thus decided, and Tuo Nengya could not convince several patriarchs, so he could only agree.

Back at his residence, Tonengya's heart became more and more uneasy, he couldn't tell what was going on, he always felt a little abnormal, and then he remembered that a few days before Jinpeng Castle launched a strong attack, every night would send a different number of killers to infiltrate the camp to create chaos, but these two days were very calm, and not a single sneak attack happened.

Tomorrow's strong attack is probably not small, and Tononya is worried that it will be difficult for his side to even defend, let alone defend against it.

Before dawn the next day, the men and horses in the camp began to prepare for battle, and the swordsmen under the five peaks of the Great Snow Mountain and Tuo Nengya each divided half of them as the main force of the garrison, leaving half of them to recuperate and prepare for the second half of the charge.

After breakfast, a low drum beat sounded outside the camp, and the army of Jinpeng Fort launched a fourth assault.

Contrary to Tononya's expectations, this assault was no more difficult to deal with than the previous three, and the defenders repelled several attacks with only their bows and arrows.

Dugu Xian seems to have run out of skills, so he can only use the numerical advantage to attack the last line of defense of the Daxue Mountain Battalion one after another.

But this assault lasted unusually long, far longer than the previous ones, and hardly stopped from morning till noon, with patches of corpses lying in front of the camp, the earth stained red.

The defenders were exhausted, and the arrows were running out, and behind them, the other half of the people who were ready to charge for a decisive battle were impatient, and the patriarch of the Great Sword Peak held the unsheathed heavy sword, and kept asking Long Xiaoshi for battle.

Tuo Nengya felt that the time was not yet ripe, and it seemed that Jinpeng Castle had not yet used all its strength, but the call for a decisive battle was getting louder and louder, and he was no longer able to stop it.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Long Xiaoshi gave the order, opened the camp gate, and the whole army charged.

The sound of muffled drums and heavy trumpets mingled through the valleys, and some of the bravest swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountains were the first to strike out of the camp, trampling on the corpses and blood of the enemy, and charging at the enemy army, which was still superior in numbers.

Even the defenders, who had exhausted their physical strength, could not withstand the temptation and call of the battlefield, put down their bows and arrows, picked up their swords, and rushed out without waiting for orders.

In the distance, the heart of Dugu Envy, the commander of Jinpeng Castle, was finally put down.

Three thousand heavily armed hoplites, turning the foot of the hill with their spears pointed forward, gradually increasing their speed under the urging of the drums of war, pressed against the sword-wielding enemy.

Tuo Nengya is still a swordsman in his bones, once he rushes out of the camp and raises the sharp Dharma Protector Long Knife with both hands, he no longer thinks about the question of victory or defeat, even if he sees the unexpected heavy cavalry, he doesn't care, there is only one thought in his heart: he must not lose to the swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain, even if he dies, he must kill enough.

At the same time, dozens of black-clad and masked killers emerged from the lurking place and rushed into the almost empty camp of the Great Snow Mountain.

When Gu Shenwei returned to the camp after a lot of hardship, he saw such a scene.
