Chapter 595: The South Road Army Gets the Lead

"With your 'Ding Kui Squadron' as the team, gather all the shield-breaking knights of our two brigades, and the sum will be about the same. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Long Tan calculated.

"It's best to bring twenty archers, some traps need to be broken by them, the shield breaker knights are ten or seventy or eighty, my squadron is five hundred, and this does not include me, Ding Yu and Master Ming. Ding Kui has a different opinion.

The archers of the Zhenbeiguan First World War Special Operations Brigade lost more than half, and they were hit by the Meng Army's magician regiment, and less than forty people came out this time.

"You have the final say, you have the most experience in this kind of elite raid in the whole legion, and now you are a fearless knight, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a hundred. ”

Long Tan was full of envy and jealousy, originally Ding Kui was not as good as him, but within a few years, the gap between his Ding Kui was getting bigger and bigger, of course, his brother-in-law was not a bad thing.

"Kill!" Jiang Cao snapped, jumped onto the city wall, and his spear swept away, and four or five Meng soldiers were knocked to the ground.

The cloud ladder climbed up two more Shaodian soldiers, one wielding a chain hammer and the other making a double mace, firmly guarding the open space that Jiang Cao killed, so that the Shaodian army behind him continued to climb the city wall.

The 205th Division suddenly joined the attack on Port City at night, and after a wave of rockets covered the wall, 3,000 elites erected a ladder and forcibly landed on the city.

Jiang Cao vibrated the barrel of the gun and shook out more than a dozen spear tips, pointing at the three Meng soldiers who came up from the encirclement, and the Meng army was busy dealing with being forced to hurry. He seized the gap and shot a gun, which pierced through a Meng soldier in the chest.

"Shaodian Xiao'er is rampant, wait for me to fight you. ”

A Meng Jun wearing the captain's armor took a few steps forward, filled the gap where Jiang Cao killed Meng Jun with a gun, and brandished an iron-backed wolf knife to slash at Jiang Cao.

When, Jiang Cao held the big knife above his head with a horizontal spear, his arms shook slightly, and the opponent's huge strength made it impossible to connect with the back move he prepared.

"Trap samurai! This is an opponent. Jiang Cao said secretly in his heart.

He retreated half a step back, avoiding the direct stab of the Meng army on the right, and the tail of the gun was sent to the feet of the Allied officer, and the tip of the gun cut a half-arc to block the iron hook of the Meng army on the left.

Even with the elimination of the fight, with one enemy and three, Jiang Cao was still in danger.

Whoosh, two sharp arrows flew almost close to Jiang Cao's ears, one left and one right, shooting at the two shoulder sockets of the Meng army officer.

If you want to dodge the tail of the gun on the sole of your feet, you can't dodge the two arrows in the shoulder socket, and if you cut off the left arrow, you can't split the right. "Oops!" the officer of the Meng army shouted, took a few steps back, and had an arrow stuck in his left shoulder, and the white feather at the end of the arrow was still shaking.

Jiang Cao naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, rubbing the barrel of the gun, the head of the gun rolled, and the tip of the gun cut off half of the head of Meng Jun on the left, and then strode forward with both hands, and the "lunge straight stab" left a big hole in the throat of Meng Jun on the right.

"Thank you, the exhibition team!" Jiang Cao didn't look back, knowing that it was his captain who released the arrows behind.

Knock knock, the drums under the port city were loud, and the commander of the 205th Division personally beat the drums to help the battle, boosting morale to take the port city in one fell swoop.

"Well, it's night to get down to the city. ”

Gu Jun came to the besieged barracks, accompanied by more than one division commander.

"Ouch, if you're not mistaken, Jiang Cao is the first to climb the city wall. Xun Le was very envious.

The two brothers Xun Yue and Xun Le were also in the barracks.

On the evening of April 6, the 22nd Army of Shaodian recaptured Port City, and the forward scout horse team was already active in the west of Hump Mountain.

Almost at the same time, the Yangting Pass was broken, the more than 100,000 troops of the Shaodian Kingdom met at the Yangting Pass, and the South Road Army commanded by Jin Man completed the first phase of the combat mission.

On the contrary, the heavy attack of the lower hanging pass was still in the hands of the Meng army, and the 11th and 12th Army Corps of Shaodian could not fully deploy the 200,000 army, so they could only rush behind the 5th, 6th, 7th and 216th Divisions in Zhongdi.

In addition, nearly 200,000 troops marched overnight to Xiahangguan.

"Commander, the Forward Division has converged with the 11th Army Corps. ”

Jiang Xi had a report in front of the horse.

"So fast? Well, it must still be outside the pass, is it so difficult to fight under the hanging pass?" Jiang Xi said and looked up suddenly, "Oh, Tan Shang is back." ”

Sure enough, a white-robed magician fell in mid-air, and it was Tan Shang.

"Lord Jiang, the Zhenbei Pass and the Yangting Pass have been broken, and the prince is unscathed, but the commander of Wan is seriously injured. Tan Shangxuan said important.

Jiang Xi, who had been hurrying for days, only knew that he had captured Zhenbeiguan a few days ago, and he didn't know the detailed process and the later news, Tan Shang was chasing Lou Ling all the way north, and the news of the army on the south road was basically known.

"Wan buy, hey, it's a pity. Jiang Xi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "What's the situation in Xiahangguan? The 200,000 troops have not taken it for so long." ”

"Hong Jin and Lou Ling are hanging the pass under the stubborn defense, Gu Jun went down to attack the Hump Mountain Pass at the suggestion of the prince, and with the help of the Ming and Tang Dynasties, I can't force the pass alone. ”

Tan Shang said that a person refers to a sixth-level combat power, and the enemy army has to look at the high-end combat power if it is defended according to danger.

"Hump Mountain Pass? Jiang Xi showed a surprised expression.

"You can send the 11th and 12th Army Corps to bypass Yangting Pass and attack and advance towards Nanqiu County, as long as Nanqiu County City is surrounded, Juyang City can be broken without attacking. Jiang Zhi reacted very quickly and immediately came up with a countermeasure.

"Good, please trouble Master Tan to inform Zhai Yu and Di Tanglong, whoever rushes to Nanqiu County City first will be credited with the first credit. Jiang Xi nodded, Jiang Zhi's suggestion was in line with his heart.

The 11th and 12th Army Corps of Shaodian pulled out their camps and moved south overnight, and the 216th Division withdrew from the siege sequence and ran in front of the two corps to open the way. Such a big movement did not hide from the Meng army on the lower pass, and immediately a herald reported to Hong Jin.

"Tan Shang Pifu has been pestering me, but it is true that a large number of enemy troops have gone south, including the banners of the 11th and 12th Army Corps. Lou Ling deliberately went out to check.

"This is very tricky, which means that there will be a large army to hang the pass, otherwise there will not be only tens of thousands of people left under the pass.

Counting the banners we have seen in the past few days, the enemy army has dispatched at least five legions to attack the three passes in the south, plus those still on the way, the Shaodian army has already invested half of its forces to the south.

There is no trace of Lord Helian, and reinforcements have been delayed, so how can we and the Third Army hold Nanqiu County alone. Hong Jin exhaled.

"Yanling County has five legions of our country, and Jinping County has eight legions of Cao Qi and the two countries, how could Nanqiu County fall into such a situation?" Lou Ling's temperament was impatient.

"Jin Man's army of more than 100,000 troops will attack from Yangting Pass tomorrow at the latest, and the next hanging pass will be attacked from both sides, my 50,000 troops can't hold here, or we can withdraw? Hong Jin began to think about the way back.

"Report!"

Without waiting for Lou Ling to answer, another herald came.

Say. ”

"The boss gave the order. ”

Hong Jin immediately stood up.

"Ordered Hong Jin to hold out at the lower hanging pass until tomorrow evening, and then he could retreat to the Fengfeng Pass. ”

"Yes. ”

On the morning of April 7, flags were lined up and belts fluttered, and groups of energetic soldiers passed under the port city and marched in a neat line to the east.

The military flags and handsome flags of the 21st Army were also slowly moving eastward, and the 202nd and 203rd divisions were clustered around Gu Jun, and the people of the Yang family and the Gongsun family formed the main force of the Chinese army.

The 207th Division opened the way in front of the army, and the Xun brothers finally became the vanguard.

The 204th and 208th divisions served as the rearguard to prevent the northern and southern armies of the Meng army from desperately attacking the chrysanthemums of the army.

Gu Jun led a division of 50,000 to attack the front of the Hump Mountain Pass in a dignified manner, and such a lineup alone could already seriously threaten the pass and the two military villages.

In addition to the 201st Division that blocked the Bianfeng Pass and the 206th Division that attacked behind the enemy, there was also the 205th Division that fought fiercely overnight to garrison Port City, the 209th Division to garrison Xixuancheng, and the 210th Division to supervise the transportation of grain and grass and sweep away the remnants of the Meng Army in the rear.

It can be said that Gu Jun has exhausted all the forces at hand.

Near noon, the army drove to the foot of the mountain west of the Hump Mountain, and the scouts of the Meng army had already discovered this overwhelming enemy army, and wolf smoke had risen over the pass.

"The front of the pass can only accommodate one division to attack, but the cottages on the north and south sides can attack us from a high position.

I recommend that the magicians of the four divisions follow the 207th Division to feint the pass, and only need to attack from a distance to attract the enemy's defenders.

The 202nd and 203rd divisions attacked the northern military village from the farthest point of the north, and Gu Shuai lurked in the army, and when he saw the enemy magician attacking, he appeared and killed him.

The 204th and 208th Divisions attacked the southern stronghold from the farthest point of the south, and the magicians of the 208th Division headquarters covered with the army and dragged the enemy army.

As long as the wolf smoke at the pass is extinguished, the 207th Division can retreat, retreat to camp outside the mountain pass, and put on a posture of being trapped in the army fortress for a long time. "Liang Gong gave advice to Gu Jun.

"As the chief of staff said, the whole team will attack!" Gu Jun handed out order flags to his own soldiers.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

Just as Ding Kui had predicted, the pass guards dispatched 2,000 troops to defend the western wall, leaving only 1,000 troops in the east.

Less than half an hour after the wolf smoke was lit, a group of Meng troops arrived from the east, but the number was only about two hundred.

The officer on the east gate was a little surprised, there are fifty miles from Juyang City, and it is possible to arrive at full speed of war horses, but this team of people are all infantry, and they should not set off when they see the wolf smoke.

"Who are you, which unit?" the Meng officer shouted through the trench, not daring to give the order to lower the drawbridge.

"We are the scout team of the 24th Division, and we just found out about the emergency military situation and saw the wolf smoke rising, so we rushed over to take a look. Quickly lower the drawbridge and let us in, and use your letter eagle to send a message to the commander. A young man who looked like a scout captain came out and replied.

"The information of the Shaodian Army's attack on the pass has been sent to Juyang City with the letter eagle, so you don't need to come in. ”

"It's not to pass this information back, just now we found a large number of Shaodian troops near the swamp, we have to report this situation to Wu Shuai!" The scout captain was so anxious that he was sweating.

The officer in the city was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What? The Shaodian army was found near the swamp? Put down the drawbridge and put the hanging basket down, there are also enemy troops in the east who cannot open the pass gate." ”
