Dozens of arrows were shot at the shields of these people. The arrows sank instantly, and the feathers at the tail were still trembling. However, they failed to penetrate the shields.
These shields are reinforced.
Several men in black were unscathed.
In the corridor, other men in black ran out.
In wars, sometimes the fight is about surprise. Fan Sheng tried his best to send people to burn the Liao army's food and grass, and these men in black were undoubtedly arranged by the Liao army to seize the North City Gate corridor.
They can even be regarded as dead soldiers.
"Hey!"
However, the soldiers at Fengmenguan are naturally not vegetarians.
Seeing that these men in black were well prepared, after the archers released their arrows, the soldiers holding shields at the front immediately took up a defensive posture. They all shouted softly and slammed their shields on the ground.
The first men in black to jump out were immediately surrounded by shields.
But this is also expected.
Naturally, they would not just wait to be killed. They exhaled loudly and still had no intention of using the sword. Instead, they held their shields tighter and hit the Fengmenguan soldiers at the front.
This is purely a matter of brute force.
Their cultivation was also revealed at this moment.
Fifth grade!
The worst ones are all at the fifth level, and there are even a small half that are already at the fourth level.
Martial arts masters like this are considered masters in the martial arts world, and the same is true in the military.
The Liao army really spent a lot of money and actually sent all these masters to seize the North City Gate.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
There were crisp sounds one after another.
It was the soldiers holding spears behind the shield soldiers who thrust the spears out through the gaps between the shields.
They have practiced this kind of cooperation countless times.
Most of the time, when using infantry to deal with cavalry, Dayu generals would use this method. It was just used to deal with these elite Liao troops at this time.
This is the most conventional approach, but unfortunately, these elite Liao troops are indeed powerful.
After the two sides collided, the spears that were thrust out were broken one after another.
There were a few screams.
The originally tight shield formation was suddenly knocked open with a few small holes.
At this time, the lethality of these elite Liao troops was fully demonstrated. As soon as they opened their mouths, they exposed their ferocious fangs.
I could see them flying the scimitars in their hands left and right, dancing in a dazzling way.
One inch is long, one inch is strong, one inch is short, one inch is dangerous.
A dozen of the Fengmenguan soldiers who were approached were immediately chopped down by them.
They were all stabbed in the neck. They lay on the ground in a daze and could not get up.
For a while, there were signs of a gap being torn apart by them.
And more and more elite Liao troops rushed out of the corridor.
I don’t know how many fifth-grade elites Yelu, the fourth prince of the Liao Kingdom, took advantage of and secretly sent outside the north city gate.
"Kill them out!"
Fortunately, when the situation was not particularly bad, Wei Tongpu arrived with his people.
He had been staring at the corridor all the way. His face was filled with anger. As soon as he arrived, he roared. Then he kicked his legs to the ground and rushed over quickly.
Generals in the army are usually mainly based on their strategy and ability to lead troops, and their martial arts strength is only a supplement. However, Wei Tongpu's cultivation level does not seem to be low, and he is estimated to be around the third level.
Thinking about it, his background shouldn't be too bad.
Looking at the overall situation in Dayu, those generals who come from lower families generally have much higher levels of cultivation than those who come from poor families.
Because practicing martial arts is inherently more difficult than learning the art of war.
"kill!"
The "mobile team" that followed Wei Tongpu was certainly not bad either.
They were originally the elite among the elite soldiers at Fengmen Pass, just like the pair of men in black sent by the Liao Army.
Such elites can be found in almost any decent military. If placed in modern times, they are actually special forces.
From the general down, everyone could see that they were all holding weapons and following Wei Tongpu quickly towards the corridor.
Even before the confrontation, the auras of both sides were already violently colliding.
Wei Tongpu's face looked a little solemn.
Because at this time, there were already dozens of men in black rushing into the corridor. It was not easy to drive them out.
Moreover, he was not sure whether there were still elites of the Liao army lurking outside.
If there are more people, it will be really troublesome.
Of course, even Grandmaster Tongxuan can use the human sea tactic to kill him, but that will take time.
But now Fengmenguan is a race against time.
He must retake the North City Gate before most of the Liao army reaches the city gate! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
It was as if murderous intent had rolled into a whirlpool in the air.
Soon, the elites from both sides were fighting together.
outside the city.
All I could see was that the canyon was filled with dense firelight, and under the firelight, denser figures were swaying.
These figures formed a mighty military formation.
A rough count suggests that there are no less than 20,000 people.
Among these military formations, there are also a large number of siege vehicles, ladders, artillery vehicles, etc.
These are all large siege engines.
It seems that the Liao army has no intention of waiting for Fengmen Pass to run out of ammunition and food before attacking, but wants to take Fengmen Pass directly in one go.
This made Fan Sheng and other Fengmen Gate guards on the top of the city very angry.
But under this sense of oppression, no one yelled anymore. They just looked solemnly at the Liao army formation that was slowly coming up.
"These Liao dogs are now becoming more and more adept at siege warfare."
After a long while, Fan Sheng suddenly sighed softly.
"That's right, Commander-in-Chief."
A general not far from him responded: "I have to say that the empress of the Liao Kingdom is indeed quite capable. In recent years, the Liao military has become increasingly difficult to deal with."
Fan Sheng twisted his eyebrows and said no more. He just stared into the quiet darkness in the distance.
He didn't know how long the Fengmen Pass could be held. Now, he only hoped that Ling Yonghe, Fan Guanghe and the others could successfully burn the Liao army's food and grass.
Otherwise, Fengmen Pass should be guarded until two days after the food supply is cut off.
As for how long it can last at least...
He really didn't have any confidence at all.
When it comes to things like fighting, even the famous generals who have become famous in the world in the past few years have never dared to boast about Haikou, thinking that everything is under control.
After all, people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.
"put!"
"put!"
It's a long story, but in fact it only took less than ten minutes from the time the North City Gate was opened from the inside until the Liao army was within range of the outside of the city.
Inside the north city gate, the elites of the two armies were still fighting.
The Liao army indeed hid more masters outside the city. After the masters who rushed into the corridor first were suppressed by Wei Tongpu and his men, they all poured into the corridor, and there were nearly a hundred people.
