Chapter 774

The wind gate closes the north gate.

As a defensive town, Fengmen Pass has only two gates in total.

Among them, the south gate is used to communicate with the rear and transport food, grass and equipment, and is wider. The north gate is only used as a way for spies to leave the customs, and is only less than one foot wide.

The city gate is thick and heavy, and the gate is welded tightly with iron ropes on both sides. In terms of strength alone, it is not far behind the city wall of Tudun.

Even so, the North Gate is still the most important defense point of Fengmen Pass.

As Fan Sheng issued his general order, many soldiers immediately rushed to the north gate of the city. Huge rocks, rolling oil barrels, etc. were pushed to the edge of the battlements.

Under the city head, there were also soldiers running into the corridor carrying wooden stakes as thick as thighs to reinforce the already thick city gate.

You know, although the city gate is strong, Liaogou's siege engines are no joke.

Moreover, gunpowder is not unique to Dayu. It is also a weapon for siege.

Just thinking of this, the general who was commanding his soldiers to reinforce the city defense couldn't help but grit his teeth.

If the gunpowder and kerosene were still there, we wouldn't be so vulnerable to dealing with those Liao dogs!

Now, there was really no confidence that he could keep those guys out just by relying on the city wall of Fengmen Pass. There was no room for taking it lightly when arranging defenses. When he was ordered to guard the city gate, he issued a military order.

Failure to guard the city gate until dawn tomorrow will be a capital offense.

"hurry up!"

"Hurry up faster!"

"Be sure to make the city gates tight! If something goes wrong, everyone from me on down will have a damn hard time!"

I just felt that the evil fire in my heart had nowhere to vent, and the tone of the general's words was full of displeasure.

Fortunately, the soldiers below have long been accustomed to the generals' swearing. This is how the army is, so they just speed up their hands and feet, and no one shows any signs of dissatisfaction.

In this way, time gradually passes.

After a while, there was a billowing fire in the north.

Although you can't see the smoke, you can see the bright fire.

It's a beacon tower!

The Liao army really attacked!

The fourth prince's plan to attack the city at the end of the month was not just talk. He had planned to burn the camp beforehand, so he had obviously been planning it for a long time.

This made Fan Sheng and others look even more ugly.

Until now, only one of the several fires in the military camp has been put out, which is the place where vegetables are stored. But if there is no food, what use are these vegetables?

The fire in the oil depot was definitely inextinguishable, and the burning fire almost lit up half of the sky.

The gunpowder magazine had already been blown up.

"General Fan, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on this time..."

Wei Tongpu stood next to Fan Sheng, looking at the beacon fire in the north, his face full of worry.

This sentence made Fan Sheng stare at him coldly, "What does the supervisor mean by this?"

Wei Tongpu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he shouldn't say this at this moment. He waved his hands and said, "I am not trying to increase others' momentum and destroy my own prestige, and I cannot be an internal spy."

He sighed heavily and said, "I'm just talking about the matter. At present, we have lost more than half of our food and grass supplies, and the defensive equipment has also been damaged a lot. In addition, there is almost no kerosene and gunpowder left. We can only rely on stones and weapons to defend the city.

! In this way, even with the advantage of the city wall... I really don't know how long we can hold on. Moreover... even if we defend to the death, once the Liao army traps us, when will Jiedu Mansion be able to relieve us? "

"What do the supervisors think?"

Fan Sheng frowned tightly, and his voice still had a hint of coldness, "Is it impossible to abandon the city and escape?"

This is not so suspicious of Wei Tongpu, but thinking about the situation at this time always makes me feel very upset.

"How is that possible!"

Wei Tongpu smiled bitterly, "It is better to wipe our necks here than to abandon the city and run away. This way, at least our family can live well."

"That's it."

Fan Sheng said coldly: "What's the point of saying this!"

But he didn't notice that his own voice was trembling a little when he spoke.

Fengmen Pass has always been a top priority, and so far there has been no such thing as a traitor. This sudden occurrence of such a thing really caught them off guard, and it seemed that there was no way out.

All we can do is wait for help.

Fan Sheng tightly clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand.

He is a veteran, but this time, he really doesn't have even the slightest chance of making it back alive.

The beacon fires were lit one after another in the night.

This means that the Liao army is getting closer.

The atmosphere inside Fengmenguan became increasingly depressing.

Apart from the roar, there was almost no other sound.

The soldiers at the city head in the north were particularly dense, and everyone was ready to fight.

About...

The stretching torches of the Liao army can be clearly seen. They are like mountains. I don't know how far they spread. I only know that from the corners of the canyon, torches are constantly coming out, as if they are endless.

The soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but clenched their swords one by one.

"tui!"

Someone spat on his hands, wiped his face fiercely, and said, "These Liao dogs are so damn insidious! I will have to kill a few of them later!"

The voice was trembling.

In such a situation where thousands of troops are overwhelming the city, let alone the soldiers, even the veteran generals find it difficult to remain calm and composed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fire spread throughout the canyon.

The Liao army has arrived not far from the city.

This thumping sound is not the sound of drums, but the sound of uniform footsteps.

"end!"

"Order! Stop!"

"make……"

About a thousand meters away from the city head, with a loud shout, many messengers conveyed the order along the line.

The mighty team gradually stopped.

The torch no longer floated so endlessly, but it seemed to be trembling slightly due to the influence of the murderous aura.

In the night sky, there seemed to be invisible energy colliding violently.

This is momentum and murderous intent.

Two armies confront each other!

Not long after, several groups of torches suddenly rushed out from in front of the Liao army's formation.

In just a dozen breaths, we were only a few hundred meters away from the city.

The soldiers with outstanding eyesight on the top of the city could already clearly see the faces and costumes of the Liao soldiers below the city.

There is a general.

One of them joined the army.

There is also a strong man holding a robe.

Although the other few are dressed as ordinary soldiers, they look like they are not simple in strength.

"The Chongqing army in Guan Nei is listening!"

I saw the general raising his head and shouting at the top of the city.

"You are waiting for a fire in the pass, and you are short of food, grass, and gunpowder! If you are wise and surrender quickly, I can still ask for a favor in front of the fourth prince and save your lives!"

There was a sense of pride in his words.

They burned all the food, grass and baggage of the Chongqing army before they left the army. This is equivalent to winning 80% before the battle started. Now in the minds of these Liao army generals, Fengmen Pass is already a sure place. It is just a matter of time. Let's see.
