Chapter 74 Jiameng Pass, Beast Hunting Array
Jiameng Pass.
As a pass within the seven prefectures of Yun Kingdom in the past, although its terrain is dangerous, the stone walls of Guancheng are only five feet long.
It should be noted that the soldiers of the vassal states of Dayu all practice martial arts and refine their bodies, and at least they are at the first level of body tempering. Therefore, even ordinary county towns have a city wall of three meters high, and the city walls of famous city fortresses are often more than ten meters high.
A five-meter-high city wall is nothing.
After Wei Chong led the army to retreat to Jiameng Pass, he sent two side generals, ordering one to guard Lingxi Pass and the other to plunder supplies in Zhaohua, Qingchuan and Baishui Prefectures, plunder the people, and prepare to return to Jindi.
In this way, even if he was eventually forced out of Yundi by Yongjun, it would not be a waste of time...
The Yong army marched very quickly. It was less than an hour before Wei Chong retreated to Jiameng Pass, and Bai Qiu led an army of 100,000 to the Jiameng Pass.
Wei Chong stood at the city gate tower and looked at it. He saw that the Yong army was in a strict lineup, with flags like clouds. Except for the occasional neighing of horses, there was no other sound, as if regular black ink blocks were displayed in the wilderness.
"No wonder everyone says that the Yong army is the most elite in the world, and it is really worthy of its reputation."
After sighing, Wei Chong couldn't help but look solemn, and at the same time he was scared.
Fortunately, he sent a side army to sweep the northeast yesterday and met the army led by Bai Qiu in advance.
Otherwise, if Bai Qiu led an army of 100,000 to the city of Ningzhong City, he found out that the tens of thousands of Jin troops he led would probably be wiped out.
But even though he had saved the main force, he had no confidence in defending Jiameng Pass for a few days.
‘Time is too tight after all. Otherwise, there would be 50,000 soldiers, and three camps could be set up outside the city, each with 10,000 soldiers, and 20,000 soldiers left in the city to support each other. Even if you face a hundred thousand Yong troops, you can defend for more than seven days.
Now there is no time to set up a camp outside the city, so it is already the limit to deploying 30,000 troops in the Jiameng Pass city.
With 30,000 to 100,000, once the Yong army strives to attack the city, I don’t know if it can last for three days.”
Three days is Wei Chong’s minimum requirement for this defense.
Because if the Jinjun wants to plunder the materials from the three prefectures and plunder the people and send them to Lingxi Pass, it will take at least three days to get enough harvests.
The defense arrangement on Lingxiguan is that the longer the time is, the more you prepare, the more you prepare.
Just as Wei Chong was thinking about all aspects of this battle, a team of people came out of the Yong army formation.
The person in charge was wearing silver light armor, with a corner missing from the left ear and a shallow target on his right cheek. It was Bai Qiu, the former general of Yong State.
He led a team of personal guards to stop two miles away from Guancheng. With his eyesight, he could already faintly recognize Wei Chong who was looking at this side on the city wall, so he shouted loudly—
"Wei Chong, how can you defend Jiameng Pass when facing a certain 100,000 Yong army? It is better to surrender so as not to be slaughtered by the soldiers under your command!
Our king is eager to seek talented people. If you come to surrender, your status must be above some. How?!"
Wei Chong laughed a lot when he heard this.
"Jiameng Pass is in danger. There are 50,000 troops stationed in the army. How can you defeat it?
I heard that the military law of Yongguo is harsh. If you are defeated in front of Jiameng Pass this time, I am afraid there will be no good results when you go back. It is better to join our Jinguo. I can recommend you as the Left General, how about it?!"
Bai Qiu laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "I'm not used to kneeling down under a woman's skirt, and I don't like to call my child the king!"
This is obviously a satirizing Mrs. Hua Li's support for the three-year-old son to succeed to the throne and rule the affairs behind the curtain.
After all, this matter was not glorious, so Wei Chong was frost on his face when he heard this.
"Bai Qiu! Do you have the courage to fight alone with someone?!"
"I want to fight with a certain general? It seems that it is true that you have broken through to the eighth level of Rongling." Facing the challenge initiated by Wei Chong, Bai Qiu didn't care at all. "It's a pity that a certain general is not a wanderer in the world. He relies on 100,000 soldiers behind him! If you really have the ability, please guard this Jiameng Pass!"
After saying that, Bai Qiu retreated back to the military formation.
Then, the rumbling drum sounded.
Yi Fangfang, wearing black armor, slowly moved to the Jiameng Pass city wall with various siege equipment.
Seeing the numerous siege vehicles, ladders, catapults and other equipment coming out of the Yong army's formation, Wei Chong's face was not only solemn, but ugly.
‘These siege tools have definitely been prepared long ago. Could it be... The king and minister of Yong had long expected that our Jingong would go north?’
For a moment, Wei Zhong was full of doubts and his confidence in defending Jiameng Pass was getting lower and lower.
Previously, he thought he could defend Jiameng Pass for at least three days.
Now, he felt that he could not hold on for even a day.
‘Maybe something was wrong. If I had known that the Yong army had been so sufficiently prepared, I should have led the main force to retreat directly to Lingxiguan instead of trying to plunder the supplies and population of the three governments.’
With this idea, Wei Zhong's heart was full of bitterness...
One day later.
Jiameng Pass, which was stationed by the 30,000 Jinjun Army, was broken. Wei Chong led more than 2,000 personal guards to break out with his eighth level Rongling cultivation.
Bai Qiu left only thousands of troops to take over Jiameng Pass, and then followed Wei Chong closely and headed towards Lingxi Pass!
At the same time, Nie Gandang and Lian Cheng led the Yun army as soon as they left Yunling, they encountered a 20,000 army led by Sima Hu on the necessary road leading to Ningzhong Prefecture.
It was not surprising that Nie Gandang had an encounter with Sima Hu.
Since the spies of Yong State invaded Yungu, they must have invaded Yunjun.
A year ago, Yucheng was captured, and the king and ministers of Yun Kingdom were forced to retreat into Yunling, and the country was almost destroyed. There were many loyal and righteous people following him, and there must be people who were greedy for wealth and honor to join Yong Kingdom.
This is inevitable.
"It seems that if we want to go to Ningzhong Prefecture, we must defeat Sima Hu first." Looking at the Yong army formation opposite, Nie Gandang narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Lian Cheng.
Lian Cheng smiled, "There are not many 20,000 Yong troops, so it's just right for us to practice."
Nie Dandang nodded, "Then the vanguard of the formation will be the Flying Tiger Army."
"Isn't this the reason why I will bring Xiaoqing, Red Tiger, Poisonous Leopard, Ape Ge, and three-tailed and five strange beasts to the army?"
After saying this, Lian Cheng waved his hand and shouted: "Flying Tiger Army! Take a shot!"
With Lian Cheng's order, the sound of the attacking drums rang out loud.
Suddenly, the three thousand flying tiger troops started to move.
Lian Cheng walked in front with five strange beasts, guiding the five strange beasts to force Yong Jun at an appropriate speed.
In the Yong army formation.
Sima Hugao sat on the watchtower, looking at Lian Cheng and the five strange beasts on his left and right, frowned.
Yong State had secret spies in Leiyun Mountain, so he naturally knew that the Yun Army would take high-level strange beasts in Rongling Realm for his own use.
However, in the information sent back by the spies, it was only said that Yunjun subdued two alien beasts, tigers, but did not mention the other three alien beasts.
This put a cloud in Sima Hu's heart.
However, seeing that the Yun army launched an attack, he still ordered the Yong army to attack in an array.
In Yun and Yong's army had been dispatched but had not yet contacted, Yuan Miao, a military officer standing next to Sima Hu, noticed Sima Hu's solemn expression and said, "Is the latter general worried about the three extra beasts?"
Sima Hu nodded silently.
Yuan Miao smiled and said, "The general is worried. If you look at it, the three extra beasts may not be all high-level spiritual fusion.
After all, there are spiritual beasts in the Yun Kingdom to rely on, and that spiritual beast must be the king of all beasts in Yunling. If it has orders, other strange beasts will naturally obey the orders to help the Yun army.
However, even if there are many strange beasts in Yunling, there may not be many of them above the sixth level of the Merge Spirit?
Even fewer people obey the spirit beasts.
It is already lucky that Yun Jun can get help from two high-level alien beasts in the fusion of spirits. How could he find three more?
