Chapter 118 Standing in the wind and snow, how to break this stalemate?
The border pass is filled with heavy snow.
At the gantry block covered by snow, figures appeared, with heavy crossbows, stones, rolling wood and other equipment to guard the city. It is the most complete level in Daxia all the way.
However, it's not surprising.
After all, at the foot of the emperor, the border of the capital, further further into the capital, Changning, the entire capital of Daxia.
If this level is broken...
I'm afraid the only place where Daxia can stick to is the largest city standing at the center of the entire Daxia, which is one of the top seven kingdoms in the Northern Xuan Realm, Xia Jing Changning.
But if it is really attacked by Beiliang to the city of Changning, it is actually no different from the city destruction.
What can I do if I am a lonely city, even if it is more majestic?
Therefore, all the foundations of the Daxia Dynasty are now at Longmen Pass.
Whoever can defeat the other side in this battle will be the winner of the final laugh in this battle.
Rumble!
Heavy steps were connected together, stepping on the heavy snow, and also stepping on the hearts of the many soldiers guarding the pass.
Countless soldiers guarding the gate holding bows and arrows or manipulating the heavy crossbow of the divine machine were alert at the same time, looking at the army slowly advancing not far away.
"Here you come!"
Many people exclaimed nervously as they looked at the Beiliang army, which was fully armored and slowly advancing forward.
They looked at the army in Beiliang with fear, as if they were looking at the group of death gods who were harvesting their lives, and some people even had a little fear in their eyes.
It's not their fault.
After all, when the King of Northern Liang rose up and even broke Xuanzhou and Cangzhou, he dominated the northern border, and then convened the world to discuss martial arts. His reputation and strength were almost at the peak, these ordinary soldiers could not be nervous.
There was a lot of discussion around, and there was already a sense of panic.
After all, the Daxia army was defeated again and again at the hands of Beiliang. Even if the morale was firm at the beginning, it would be a bit sluggish until now when retreating to Longmen Pass.
The atmosphere gradually spread across the city like a contagion.
Being cowardly before fighting is a big taboo for military strategists!
The old guard standing on the wall of the city gate looked around at this time, and seemed to have noticed the emotions of many soldiers.
I saw his throat move slightly, and the next moment he used his true energy and let out a loud shout on the wall:
"Dear soldiers, don't panic!"
"We should be loyal to the emperor because we are now in great force. Although the enemy is coming in a fierce manner, we have a total of 300,000 troops inside and outside of Longmen Pass!"
"The enemy troops are coming from all the way, and they are extremely tired now. As long as we stand by the city gate, we will not be broken."
"So, soldiers, take up the weapons in your hands, kill one and reward money, kill ten people and get promoted, kill hundreds and give titles. If a warrior can make great contributions, then I personally ask Your Majesty for the title of your Majesty in the spring of the next year, and let you be the general of the army!"
"It's just a group of traitors, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"I am the Grand Marshal Gong Yixiu of the dynasty. Today, I will be the commander of the Longmen Pass. I will live and die with you and advance and retreat together!"
"I will not return to the court until I have not broken the Northern Liang!"
As one of the pillars of the Daxia Dynasty, Gong Yixiu was over 60 years old.
Even though he was once a famous martial arts master, his qi and blood would inevitably decline a little at this age.
Originally, this battle should not be commanded by him, but unfortunately, Bai Chensha, the Marquis of Pingxi, was defeated again and again at the border, and kept abandoning his territory and losing his territory, which made Emperor Xia extremely dissatisfied with him.
In addition, there is no one in the court who is more outstanding than the Marquis of Pingxi. Therefore, in desperation, he, the Grand Marshal, who had not led troops for many years, was unable to personally wear a strong and hold a sharp hand and become a guard of the army.
After watching his lifelong roar spread and finally asking the soldiers around him to regain their confidence, Gong Yixiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The burden he carried was really heavy.
Originally, the Great Xia Dynasty was still in its prime more than 20 years ago, but who would have thought that today, it was beaten to the foot of the imperial city...
To be honest, let alone these soldiers were unsure of the final result of this battle, even Gong Yixiu, the chief general of the army, dared not say that he could win.
The enemy was coming with great momentum and morale. In addition, many of the army's masters were better than their current defenders.
Not to mention their chief general, the Northern Liang King Luoli, who had just defeated Hou Yuankui, the leader of the Thousand Prison Hall with his own strength and ranked among the top martial arts masters of Daxia a month ago.
That's a fourth-grade master!
Gong Yixiu had envy in his eyes.
This is a state that he has never entered in his entire life, so he can only watch his age unwillingly without any chance to go further.
The state that I had thought about for half my life was successfully broken by a young man in his twenties.
Even if this person is his current enemy, Gong Yixiu had to sigh.
The younger generation is terrifying.
"well..."
"Prime Minister Liang Wen was dismissed from office and returned home. Grand Tutor Chen Zhao did not hear about the affairs of the court. In addition, His Majesty's temper has become increasingly irritable in recent days, and the people's hearts have lost."
"The King of Northern Liang is as strong as a rainbow, and he is also supported by the three northern states. In addition, the civil strife on the grassland is worry-free. It is the momentum that his reputation has reached its peak. How can we stop it?"
"After this matter, I can only do my best to do my best and leave my destiny."
At this point, Gong Yixiu looked at the place where he was ready to move. He had already made up his mind to attack and entered the Daxia City Defense Cordon. He finally raised his arms and ordered a shout:
"The whole army obeys the order and prepares to face the enemy!"
The old marquis in armor showed his solemn appearance, then turned around and spoke solemnly to Xue Yue, the commander of the Jinyu Army who was following behind him:
"General Xue, in this battle, you and I are probably ready to die for the country."
"I have been in Daxia for so many years, but I didn't expect that this huge civil strife caused by a ridiculous imperial edict..."
"At this point, there is nothing to talk about. Bai Chensha, the Marquis of Pingxi, was not the son of man, and fled to the Western Front despite His Majesty's order. Could he think that Beiliang would win and could give him any good fruits to eat?"
"A man without a king or a father, no matter who wins after this war, he will never have a good life!"
Looking at the powerful minister of the Daxia Army behind him, Gong Yixiu felt a little lonely. Then when he mentioned the Bai Chensha who had taken the 30,000 Qingjiao Army under his command and left the camp overnight without saying a word, he was even more angry.
He comes because of profit and retreats because of taboos. In Gongyixiu's eyes, this person is simply not a son of man!
"He came for the position of the third prince crown prince. He is now afraid of the army of Beiliang, so it is common for him to retreat here, and there is nothing to say."
"It's just that I'm waiting, it's really hard to retreat."
"Sir, instead of thinking too much, it's better to think about how to block these Beiliang troops."
He was wearing golden armor and stood on the wall covered with wind and snow, and Xue Yue no longer had the same spirit as before.
His eyes were now slightly confused.
Who would have thought that the situation would change to such a level in just a few months?
It's simply impermanent.
Thinking of this, I had to sigh, but before the sigh could be completely dropped, the sound of killing sounds that were as shocking as the sound of killing sounds in the distance came to an instant.
The surging killing aura, accompanied by the biting cold of winter, makes people feel cold and it is difficult to retreat.
The sound of crossbows on the city walls is loud, not only ordinary bows and arrows, but also the extremely precious Divine Machine Heavy Crossbow, which is closed at the current dragon gate, keeps shooting out like a lack of money.
The last barrier of a country, and this strategic confidence is naturally still there.
...
Under the city wall.
Luo Li stepped in the snow and did not ride a horse.
Beside him were all brave warriors holding long spears in their hands, and they all looked fearless, and rushed forward frantically against the arrows and heavy crossbows.
The huge city walls were towering, and the cold aura was mixed with snow, covering everything that was originally there.
But it should have been an extremely beautiful picture, but after the two sides suddenly fought, blood bloomed like plum blossoms, completely dyed the land covered with heavy snow red.
In an instant, the scene that could have been stopped and appreciated seemed a bit sad.
The last resistance level in Zhongzhou is really not a big deal.
This heavy crossbow of the divine machine and many crossbow arrows immediately made it difficult for many soldiers to get closer.
Even the innate master would be in a difficult situation even if he wanted to resist the rain of arrows and the powerful crossbow that was shot out from time to time.
After all, the masters are not invincible. In this real large-scale war, they cannot truly dominate the situation.
Chen Qingzhi and Li Cunxiao, with many soldiers, charged forward with the ladder trucks and siege trucks, slowly approaching the majestic city wall.
But whenever we approach the city wall, several divine crossbow arrows will come quickly above, and the ladder truck that has finally been pushed over is directly shot.
If it is a small city gate, you can also use the hook locks brought by the soldiers to climb and attack the city.
But standing in such a large pass, doing this is no different from taking death.
With no retreat behind him, the Daxia soldiers guarding the city undoubtedly burst out with amazing perseverance.
They withstood the attack of the Northern Liang army with a rainbow-like morale and never fell into a disadvantage!
And the most important thing is that Luo Li and Beiliang really couldn't get this city pass for a while.
If the city gate is not broken, they can only fight the Daxia army at Longmen Pass. But if they really do this, the most unacceptable thing is undoubtedly the Beiliang side.
The two armies fought, and the wind and snow roared.
The heroic young man in armor stood among the army and looked at the Longmen Pass not far away.
"Choose 1: The army is in a stalemate and urgently needs a strategy to break the deadlock. With the strength of the fourth-grade martial arts level and the vision of his own Immortal King, one person came out to break through the Longmen Pass, and then led the army to take advantage of the victory and attack the imperial city in one fell swoop!"
"Reward: Human Emperor's Aura!"
"Choose 2: The outcome is difficult to predict now, and the wind and snow are coming together. The losses in the siege are too great, and it is too difficult to break the city by a single person. It is better to suspend the offensive and make a long-term plan!"
“Reward: Pure Yang’s Return to True Fight!”
Chapter completed!
