Five hundred and thirtieth chapters break the mediocrity
Chapter 536: Breaking the rules
Haotian took a step forward, patted Dugu on the shoulder and said: "Dushuai, don't worry about it so much. Let's get started, take Juyong Pass, and we will return to the Hetao immediately."
In the Battle of Juyongguan, the soldiers who fought were of the highest level since the establishment of the Hetao. Among the senior officials of the Hetao, except for Bian Zhongxing and Chu Xiangcheng, as well as Fengjing who had a mission, the rest all stood at the foot of Jiayuguan, including Luo
Everyone, including Xiang, was wearing armor and holding swords. It was obvious that no one wanted to watch the fun from behind.
In front of the formation, Dugu Yuming, who was wearing white clothes and white armor, slowly walked to the forefront. Everyone, including Haotian, gave a standard military salute to Dugu, but Dugu just nodded slightly to Haotian.
In the Hetao military system, when fighting, no matter what status you have, you must obey the command of the highest-ranking general. Although Haotian is the king of Jingbei, Luo Xiangxin is not inferior to Dugu in terms of status, but Dugu is now the commander-in-chief of the army.
, everyone naturally wants to obey his orders.
"In this battle, advance or retreat! If Qubu retreats, behead Qubu, and if Brigade Marquis retreats, behead Brigade Marquis! If I retreat, anyone can be beheaded!" Dugu shouted loudly: "By taking Juyong Pass, we can return to Hetao.
, Xue is in disgrace! Come on, beat the drum!”
As soon as the battle began, it had already entered its most intense state. Hundreds of trebuchets and large crossbows started working almost at the same time, trying their best to suppress the Baijing defenders on the city tower. The semaphore soldiers on the sentry post held two red and one green arrows.
He held a lantern and kept flashing semaphores, constantly informing Dugu and others about the situation of the enemy troops on the tower below. Cheng Xiangxi, who was commanding the trebuchet to suppress the defenders of the tower, quickly followed the semaphores of the semaphore soldiers and used all his strength to destroy the large-scale defenders on the tower.
Defensive equipment such as trebuchets and large crucifixion beds were used to facilitate the attack of the Hetao soldiers.
After the trebuchets destroyed the large defensive equipment of the defenders on the city tower, the mobile archery towers slowly approached the city wall. The height of these special mobile archery towers even exceeded the towers of Juyongguan. Soldiers standing on the mobile archery towers could easily
Use the bows and arrows in your hands to suppress the defenders on the city tower. But the soldiers of Beijing are not stupid. Juyongguan is the fortress of Beijing's southern invasion, and there are naturally a lot of strategic materials in it. Yao Jinxi is also a famous general of Beijing, so naturally he will not do this
He easily allowed the Hetao side to destroy all his medium and long-range defense equipment. As the mobile archery towers approached the city tower, more than ten mobile archery towers had been destroyed by the Baijing defenders. Hundreds of archers on them fell directly from the archery towers.
Come down. But this did not stop the soldiers from Hetao at all.
"Siege truck! Follow the siege truck quickly!" Dugu shouted loudly: "Long Zhishan, Zhou Jilong, Jiang Shenzhou, Yan Lege, the four of you lead your soldiers to follow the siege truck! Do your best, you must board this time
Climb the city wall of Juyongguan!"
"Xue Qingcheng! You lead all the soldiers of your Snow Lion Legion as a reserve team. When Long Zhishan and others rush to the city wall, you can follow immediately!"
"Dushuai, which one is handsome?" Xinke asked doubtfully.
Dugu shook his head: "Don't worry, Xinshuai. Good steel is used on the blade. Your attack power is unparalleled, so you must use it at the most critical moment. Our offensive is fierce, but it is far from mediocre."
With our hands, this offensive alone cannot take down the city wall of Juyongguan."
Dugu is right. Although Hetao has made up his mind to burn the boat, Yao Jinxi is the most famous general outside the Great Wall after Cassimbas, and he has defended Juyongguan for so many days, and has completely figured out the city defense of Juyongguan. Although it is not like
It was Bian Chongxing who built the entire fortress without any blind spots, but with the strong defensive power of Juyong Pass, Juyong Pass can be said to be almost indestructible.
In the battle of the previous half month, more than 80,000 soldiers were killed in Hetao, and the defenders in the city also suffered heavy casualties. However, the ratio of casualties between offensive and defensive battles is simply unavoidable, especially at a critical pass like Juyongguan, where both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The ratio will only be higher. Although more than half of the Baijing defenders are civilians, Hetao can control the ratio within one to one, which is enough to show the commanding talent of Dugu and the sturdiness of the soldiers of Hetao.
"Dushuai, the current offensive is not fierce enough! If we can't attract all Yao Jinxi's attention to the tower, then our plan may have setbacks." Haotian walked to Dugu's side and said to Dugu: "
Dushuai, isn’t it my turn?”
Even in such a fierce situation, Luo Xiang actually said leisurely: "My lord, you have established a country and proclaimed yourself emperor, so you should call yourself me."
"I'm not used to it! Before truly avenging God's will, establishing a country and becoming an emperor is just a mirror. Besides, sir, aren't you used to it?" Haotian smiled indifferently.
Luo Xiang was suffocated, but looking at the slight sneer at the corner of Haotian's mouth, he suddenly found that Haotian seemed to have matured a lot. But the price of this kind of maturity was too high. If he could, he really hoped that Haotian
The weather is still as good as before.
Dugu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "Since my lord is so determined, I will make some arrangements. Xin Jiao, Qiu Mu, Xian Lianchen, Zhang Yuewan, Xue Qingcheng, Fu Ruoshui, you guys will also come together. Remember, you guys
The safety of the lord must be protected, otherwise, military law will be engaged!"
Zhang Yuewan glanced at Dugu with some fear. Among the girls, she was the most uncertain now. Although God's last words clearly requested that the Zhang family in Huaishui be treated differently, uncle Zhang Cangzong also chose Hetao at the critical moment.
However, Zhang Yuewan really couldn't rest assured that Dugu was a murderous lunatic.
Haotian, there can't be any more problems! If there hadn't been a coup in the Zhang family, the Song and Li families, the Qingfeng royal family and the Paradise Holy Sect would not have dared to lead their troops northward unscrupulously, and the pressure on Hetao would have been reduced by at least half. What worries Zhang Yuewan the most
Angry, Zhang Huayang, an idiot, actually intercepted and killed the two Hao Jin brothers on the road. Fortunately, the two brothers were fine, otherwise Zhang Yuewan would have wanted to have everyone from Zhang Keliang to Zhang Huayang cramped and skinned! But even so, God's death is still at odds with the Huai River.
The family is related. If Haotian has another problem now, then who knows that Luo Xiang, Dugu and others will not use this as an excuse to kill him directly.
Xue Qingcheng and Xian Lianchen were unsure. The Hetao today is different from the Hetao in 619. At that time, the Hetao had just established itself, surrounded by wolves, and urgently needed the help of allies. However, although the Hetao is surrounded by
Almost all of them are hostile forces, but the Hetao is already so powerful that there is no need to fear any enemies. Now that the surrounding forces are swarming in, they are unable to subvert the Hetao. It is obvious that the Hetao is indeed the most powerful force in the Eastern Continent.
With the death of Tianyi, there are no more moderates in the Hetao. Xian Lianchen, Xue Qingcheng and others have also lost their biggest backers. Luo Xiang, Xue Sha and others are not able to reason with common sense. Who knows what they will do in the future.
matter.
Although there is no expression on Fu Ruoshui's face, the anxiety in his heart is no less than that of Zhang Yuewan. Goryeo is indeed the most powerful among Qingfeng's vassals, but it is simply unable to confront Haixi. What's more, after experiencing civil strife
, Goryeo's strength has been compromised. Now there are 100,000 troops from Haixi in Shanhaiguan. It is not easy to win here. Moreover, it will have to hold on to Shanhaiguan alone for at least two years and ensure the safety of the homeland. Indeed,
It's not easy.
Goryeo, God knows how much it will cost. Maybe it will take at least ten years for Goryeo to recover. But compared with the possible fate of other forces, such as the Qinchuan Li family, Fu Ruoshui feels that all the sacrifices
It's all worth it.
All in all, Qiu Mu is the easiest one. However, as he is from the martial arts family, Qiu Mu is a little worried when he thinks that God's will is to be assassinated by people in the martial arts. Who knows whether Luo Xiang and others, who are very mentally disturbed, will be right in the future.
People in the martial arts community went on a killing spree.
"Yue Wan, don't take a step away from me at any time!" Zhang Yue Wan was deep in thought when Haotian suddenly whispered in her ear. The words were spoken so softly that even Luo Xiang on the side didn't notice. If it weren't for Hao Tian
Tian glanced at her with concern, and Zhang Yuewan even doubted whether Haotian had said this.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuewan felt a warm current quietly flowing through her heart. Looking at Haotian's expressionless face, a trace of warmth filled her whole heart. Haotian did care about herself.
The Zhang family was absolutely inseparable from the death of Tianyi. Among the five generals and three counselors in Hetao, except for one Xuanji, the rest of them cared deeply about Tianyi. Tianyi was the only niece of Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng.
The adopted daughter of Kill, Dugu's younger sister, the older sister of Feng Zhongxing, and the mother of Bian Zhongxing's two adopted sons, she is the most important role in their lives. The death of God's will can completely drive this group of people crazy. These seven people
Among them, Bian Zhong is an upright person, Feng Jing is a humble gentleman, and he does not like intrigues. However, among the four of them, Luo Xiangchu, Xiangcheng Xuesha and Dugu, none of them can save money.
Thinking of the gloomy faces of Luo Xiang and Dugu that were almost dripping with water during the bloody battle, Zhang Yuewan's heart trembled. Xin Jiao could handle Haotian's safety by himself. Dugu specifically called him and others at this time, but it happened that
The names were read out one by one again, which had never happened before. Could it be that Luo Xiang and Dugu were planning to take the opportunity to kill him? Haotian knew these two people well, so he reminded himself specially.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuewan couldn't help but move closer to Haotian. Xin Jiao frowned, but he stepped aside half a step without leaving any trace, just to protect Haotian and Zhang Yuewan within his best defense range.
"Attention, soldiers of the Huben Army, get ready to go!" Haotian roared, raised his sword high, and stepped out first.
Looking at Zhang Yuewan who was close to Haotian, Luo Xiang and Dugu looked at each other, with a wry smile on their faces.
The addition of the Haotian Tiger Army pushed the intensity of the battle to its peak. Due to the initial attack, dozens of siege vehicles were all pushed to the foot of the city wall. These specially-made siege vehicles were lined up flush with the city wall.
, so that the attacking soldiers in Hetao only need to rush up the gentle slope. However, Yao Jinxi is also a veteran of war. While concentrating trebuchets and other defensive equipment, he desperately smashed the siege vehicles under the city wall while heading towards
The siege vehicles poured tung oil and other flammable materials, and then turned all the siege vehicles into a sea of flames. However, the attacking Hetao soldiers were also prepared and quickly carried sand and soil on their backs and sprinkled it on the siege vehicles to put out the fire.
The tung oil from the defenders on the city tower continued to pour, and countless ignition materials were pushed down the gentle slope paved by the siege vehicles, once again forming a sea of fire in front of the city tower. The soldiers in the Hetao siege had to pass through the ring of fire when attacking.
Then fight in close combat with the Beijing soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers naturally have nothing to do with the fire in front of the city tower, but this is nothing in front of Xin Jiao and others. Xin Jiao and Zhang Yuewan easily pushed away the ring of fire in front of them with one palm, and the two of them had not recovered yet.
, Haotian has already rushed forward with his sword in hand.
"Husband, slow down!" Xian Lianchen was startled, and Qiu Mu, who was holding the long sword in his hand and the crescent moon sword, rushed forward almost at the same time.
Nothing should happen to Haotian. He is not only the husband of himself and others, but also the lord of Hetao Sanlu. The most important thing is, if something happens to Haotian, who knows what Luo Xiang and a group of lunatics will do.
Haotian's personal attack completely changed the situation on the entire battlefield. Under his leadership, the Hetao soldiers fully demonstrated their combat effectiveness. A sad soldier must win, and this is the case for the current Hetao soldiers. Facing a group of crazy-looking soldiers
Hu's soldiers in Hetao did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly dragged all the reserve soldiers in the pass up to the tower. If they could not stop this attack from Hetao, Juyong Pass would definitely fall.
Looking at the flexible postures of the flag soldiers on the sentry post, a sinister smile appeared on Dugu's face. Yao Jinxi finally mobilized all the troops. He made a gesture to Song Zhong, the commander of the personal soldiers. Song Zhong understood and hurriedly
He left quickly. In a dark corner not far away, Xue Sha and his two thousand soldiers were already waiting impatiently.
"Commander Blood, I will help you again!" Dugu smiled ferociously and suddenly shouted: "Come here, where is the White Tiger Army? Follow me to capture Juyong Pass!"
Except for Lin Yuanke, no one knew that there was a secret passage inside Juyong Pass that led directly to the outside of the pass. When Juyong Pass was built, in order to prevent Juyong Pass from being accidentally conquered and making its recovery difficult, the Shenzhou Dynasty specially built it inside the pass.
A secret passage leading directly to the Yanzhou area was built. However, Juyong Pass had never been conquered by foreigners for hundreds of years, so the Shenzhou Dynasty gradually forgot about the existence of this passage. However, more than twenty years ago, Qingfeng once organized a
Lin Yuanke was the main person in charge of the large-scale renovation, so he was very aware of the existence of this passage.
However, although this passage is secretive, it cannot accommodate too many soldiers. The 10,000 soldiers led by Blood Kill are already their limit. Juyongguan is one of the four major passes of the Great Wall, and the defensive power within the pass is extremely strong. If
If all the defensive forces are not exhausted, even if Xue Sha can successfully sneak into the pass, it will be very difficult to capture Juyong Pass. And now, Dugu is trying to force even the most useless orderly under Yao Jinxi to
Come up on the wall!
Although Yao Jinxi had been stationed at Juyongguan for a long time, he had no idea that there was a secret passage. In his eyes, Hetao was just a desperate battle. It seems that Hetao already knew what happened in their hometown.
Therefore, we hope to launch a final attack. If we can capture Juyongguan, it will be the best. If we cannot capture it, we will definitely withdraw our troops from Hetao immediately.
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Yao Jinxi's face. Hetao tried his best to attack for half a month, but still could not capture even a single city wall at Juyongguan. And his reinforcements would arrive soon. Why should they capture this place?
?Of course, this round of offensive in the Loop is really crazy. If you don’t try your best, I might not be able to withstand it!
At this moment, Yao Jinxi suddenly felt that something was wrong. Behind him, there was a burst of crazy shouting. Soon, the shouts of killing had resounded throughout the pass. When Yao Jinxi looked back, he saw that there were already people inside the pass.
A raging fire was lit, and in the red light, a bright red flag was flying high. It turned out to be the blood-killing army of Hetao!
