The Emperor of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, Meng Tan, looked at the towering Tiger Mouth Fortress from a distance, and a hint of foreboding rose in his heart.

Just before the attack, he had sent people to investigate the fortress, and received the news that the fortress was only thirty meters high, and it was in disrepair, and the city wall was damaged and cracked in many places, and even a small part of it collapsed. There were only 2,000 ordinary soldiers guarding the fortress, none of whom had been baptized in battle, and some had not even participated in training. These were the things he wanted to see the most, as it would minimize the damage of attacking the fortress.

However, the fortress in front of you is obviously very different from the fortress in the news. The city wall is fifty meters high, smooth and thick, let alone collapsed, not even a crack can be seen. The city wall is densely packed with soldiers, all with straight waists and full of energy, which is completely the momentum that only elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles can show. It was not an easy task to storm such a fortress.

The Emperor of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, Shangmeng Tan, did not immediately give the order to attack the fortress of Hukou, he wanted to observe, find out the weak links of the fortress, and strip it of its camouflage. He didn't believe that the Tiger's Mouth Fortress would be transformed into a rock in just a few days.

Wang Yan stood on the tall wall of the Hukou Fortress, Zhou Shan, Dong Yun and Li Zihao stood beside him, and behind him were the five thousand elite soldiers. At this moment, the enemy army did not launch an advance, so Wang Yan ordered those elite soldiers to line up neatly on the city wall, the purpose of this was to show the army of the Scorching Sun Country, so that they would have the mentality that the July Kingdom still had an army to contend with, and make them worry about the future.

At the feet of the five thousand elite soldiers, there were carefully camouflaged straw men. Once the enemy begins to attack, the 5,000 elite soldiers will be replaced by straw men, and except for a part that will be left to hide under the battlements to deal with the enemy, the rest of the elite soldiers will be evacuated to the safety of the fortress, waiting to replace the soldiers killed and wounded in the battle.

The sky gradually became gloomy, the sun seemed to not want to see the scene of the fierce battle and was obscured by thick clouds, and the wind blew and the flags planted in the fortress of the tiger's mouth rattled. The armies on both sides were unusually quiet, and the invisible killing momentum made the hearts of every soldier who were suppressed heavy.

A whole morning of standoffs. It was a big test for the generals and soldiers on both sides. There is no strong will. would have been frightened in such a silent confrontation a long time ago.

Emperor Meng Tan did not see any of the soldiers on the Tiger Mouth Fortress showing a timid expression, and he finally understood that it was not an ordinary soldier who was guarding the fortress. The fortress has literally become impregnable.

If not, the fortress is the only way to reach the palace of the July Kingdom. If it weren't for the steep peaks on both sides of the fortress. Unable to cross it, the emperor of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, Meng Tan, has given up the idea of attacking the Tiger Mouth Fortress. But, for now. He had no choice, no room for retreat. Even if the losses are heavy, it is necessary to break through, and to step on the corpses of soldiers, it is necessary to cross this fortress.

"Attack !!" Emperor Mengtan of the Scorching Sun Kingdom finally gave the order.

"Woo woo woo ......" the low horn sounded, "dong dong dong...... the earth-shattering war drums sounded, "kill!" the army of the scorching sun country was like a torrent of steel, rushing towards the fortress of the tiger's mouth.

For a while, the whole world was filled with endless shouts and killings, and there was no more shocking scene than this.

On the wall of the Hukou Fortress, Wang Yan looked at the dense enemy army, crowding the road in front of the fortress, and smiled slightly: "The enemy army has begun to attack." Soldiers, get ready, and after watching the wonderful performance, immediately take their places and make sure to strictly follow the orders. We swear to die with the fortress!"

"Swear to live with the fortress!" the five thousand elite soldiers said in unison, and their momentum was also extremely high. There is a belief in their hearts, that is, 'Sacrifice your life for the country, even if you die, you will still be honored!'

The rapid attack of the Scorching Sun Army, the vanguard has already stepped on the place where the trap is, but nothing unusual has happened.

"General Sunshooter, have we spread the camouflage on the trap too thickly, thousands of enemy troops have entered the range of the trap, why haven't we seen the trap collapse? Li Zihao watched the army of the Scorching Sun Kingdom rush towards the fortress without hindrance, and couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat, in case the trap failed, not only would it be in vain, but it would also waste an opportunity to effectively injure the enemy.

"Don't rush, watch patiently, the real threat has not yet arrived, and the trap cannot collapse yet. Wang Yan was confident and calm.

"A real threat?" Li Zihao repeated in a low voice, not understanding what Wang Yan meant, these 500,000 enemy troops are about to attack under their noses, and they are not a real threat?

"Look! Siege Vehicles!" A soldier with sharp eyes saw the enemy soldiers pushing three huge siege engines mixed in the torrent of enemy troops, slowly advancing.

"Damn!" woke up the dreamer, and Li Zihao couldn't help but burst out foul when he saw the siege vehicle. If these three siege engines reached the bottom of the fortress, it would be easy to storm the fortress. Turning his head to look at Wang Yan, the general of the shooting sun, and found that the corners of his mouth were still smiling, Li Zihao understood the real purpose of Wang Yan's digging trap, it turned out that the enemy soldiers were going to bury the three siege vehicles.

"Haha......" Li Zihao thought about it, and unconsciously laughed out loud, causing people who understood to laugh aloud. The laughter began to spread among the soldiers as if it were magical, and in an instant, laughter burst into the air from the walls of the Tiger's Mouth Fortress.

Emperor Meng Tan of the Scorching Sun Kingdom has been observing every move on the wall of the Tiger Pass Fortress from a distance. Seeing that in the face of the attack of his own army of 500,000, the soldiers of the July Kingdom could still laugh so unscrupulously. Such an incredible scene suddenly alerted him, and before he had time to think about it, he immediately shouted loudly: "Be careful of deception!"

A loud "boom !!" annihilated all the sounds in heaven and earth, and the smoke and dust that rose up in an instant obscured everyone's sight.

The soldiers of the Scorching Sun Army, who were running and attacking, were too late to stop their steps in the face of the sudden change, causing a collision with each other, and a large number of soldiers were injured because of such an unavoidable collision.

The panicked soldiers of the Scorching Sun Country could no longer care about attacking the fortress. In order to avoid unknown dangers, begin to retreat slowly and gradually move away. Wait until you get out of the smoke-shrouded area before you stop. They exchanged heads with each other, asking what had just happened. Soon, rumors spread among the army of the Scorching Sun Country, and the soldiers who believed in the oni thought that the oni were angry, and the soldiers who did not believe in the oni thought that there had been a disaster such as an earthquake.......

It wasn't until the smoke and dust in the sky slowly dissipated and everything returned to calm that the soldiers of the Scorching Sun Kingdom found that the vanguard and the three engineering vehicles in front had all disappeared. There were bold soldiers who ran to the collapsed place to see. In a deep pit full of desolation. Countless soldiers died in it, and the three huge siege engines were all scrapped, so fragmented that even a single intact support no longer existed.

After a simple count, the Emperor of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, Meng Tan, learned the number that made him feel extremely distressed. The edge of the fortress has not yet been touched. He lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers and all three siege vehicles.

"Ah!!h Shout loudly. Immediately afterward, he stared at the Tiger Mouth Fortress with red eyes. Gritted his teeth, he shouted, "Tear this fortress to !! me."

"Your Majesty, the fear of the soldiers has not been dispelled, why don't you first clean up the corpses of the dead soldiers, let our army rest for a while, and wait for the morale of the soldiers to recover before attacking?" an officer with the troops cautiously suggested.

"Bastard, how can the morale of the soldiers be low? How dare you bewitch the crowd at this time! Someone, push down and cut down, sacrifice the flag!" "The Emperor of the Scorching Sun Country, Shang Mengtan, could not listen to any advice at this time, he regarded this setback as a dying struggle before the fall of the July Kingdom, so he insisted on going his own way: "Quickly fill the road and attack the fortress with all your might." The fortress must be breached before dawn tomorrow!"

"Yes!" the generals hurriedly left, regrouping their armies and preparing for a new attack.

Wang Yan stood on the wall of the Hukou Fortress, watching the army of the Scorching Sun Kingdom quickly bury the entire pit and repair the road for the attack, his brows gradually wrinkled into the word 'Chuan'.

"Soldiers, the enemy did not choose to retreat and rest as we expected, but instead filled in the pits and paved the road. It seems that they are preparing to attack the fortress overnight, and we must have the determination to fight a tough battle, and the fortress cannot be lost from us. Wang Yan guessed the intentions of the enemy army from their actions, and made the most pre-war mobilization against the soldiers guarding the fortress.

"Shoot the sun, don't worry, the people are here, the fortress is here!" all the soldiers made a promise to Wang Yan.

The sky was getting darker, and there was a faint roar of thunder, indicating that a strong storm was coming. This time, the army of the Scorching Sun Kingdom did not rush forward, and came to the fortress in a neat formation.

An incomparably dazzling lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by a loud sound of thunder, opening the curtain on the attack of the Scorching Sun Army.

"Shoot the arrows!" The general who led the troops gave an order, and the soldiers of the Scorching Sun Kingdom quickly began to take turns to go into battle, pouring the arrows in their hands at the soldiers of the July Kingdom who were defending the Tiger Pass Fortress.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, dense arrows reflected a cold star-like light. The black arrow feathers replaced the impending rainstorm in the sky, and with endless murderous aura, they drew a breathtaking arc and fell into the Tiger Mouth Fortress.

The soldiers of the July Kingdom, who were hiding under the battlements of the fortress, took advantage of the dead corners formed by the battlements and carefully dodged. I saw the straw men in soldier armor, full of arrows all over their bodies, like hedgehogs. Unable to bear the weight of the arrows, the straw men began to fall in pieces.

Because Wang Yan accurately predicted all this, the attack of the Scorching Sun Kingdom army relying on arrows completely lost its due effect, and none of the soldiers of the July Kingdom guarding the Tiger Mouth Fortress were injured. This cannot but be said to be a miracle.

The fifty-meter-high walls of the Hukou Fortress far exceeded the height of the siege ladder prepared by the Scorching Sun Army, forcing the enemy to make other choices.

Under the cover of arrows, ropes with steel claws were constantly thrown against the walls of the fortress, and the steel claws with a jet-black luster tightly clasped the edge of the battlements. The soldiers of the Sun Nation began to clutch the ropes, trying to climb along.

The rain of arrows that did not abate in the slightest suppressed the soldiers of the July Kingdom guarding the fortress so much that they could not raise their heads. They saw the siege claws and understood the enemy's intentions. However, not a single soldier acted rashly. They were waiting, and the order of Wang Yan, the general of the shooting sun, was the only basis for their actions. (To be continued......)
