Three days later, Hu Yingxing led an army to the western border of Wu Dynasty.
The 200,000-strong army was powerful and powerful, and its momentum was like a rainbow. A sense of killing pervaded all directions.
Niangzi Pass was the first pass on the western border of the Wu Dynasty.
This pass cannot be considered majestic, only moderate...
When the guard general saw the dark mass of Seibu troops outside the pass, he was so frightened that he lost his mind and said in a panic: "Quickly...light the smoke!"
After a while, billowing smoke swept into the sky like a black dragon.
Hu Yingxing was dressed in black armor and riding an armored war horse. He was extremely powerful and gave people an unstoppable feeling. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Who wants to fight this first battle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong man rushed out.
"General, Lin Zichong is willing to go!"
"Okay!" Hu Yingxing responded loudly: "In the first battle, you have to show off my Xiwu momentum. Do you understand?"
Lin Zichong cupped his hands and said, "It's...general!"
Immediately, he led 30,000 vanguards and rushed straight to Niangzi Pass.
Niangzi Pass is only a medium pass with average defensive power.
Facing a large-scale attack, various shortcomings were quickly exposed...
Of course, the biggest reason was that the guard general was derelict in his duties. Seeing Seibu's dark army, he became confused.
In addition, the Seibu Army fought against the Daxi Dynasty all year round and was very brave and good at fighting. Therefore, the Wu Dynasty soldiers were frightened and had no intention of resisting for a while.
In this way, in just two hours, Lin Zichong led the army to attack Niangzi Pass, successfully climbed to the pass, and changed to the Seibu flag.
"General, please come in!"
This sound resounded throughout the world.
When Hu Yingxing saw it, he had a satisfied smile on his face and murmured in his heart... According to rumors, the Wu Chao Army was different now and had become stronger. But after the collision just now, he felt that the Wu Chao Army was simply too weak and did not even challenge him.
sex.
After Hu Yingxing entered the pass, he said: "After entering the city, I made a three-part agreement with the people. Do you understand?"
"It's...general!"
"Also, Niangzi Pass is not suitable for defense. Continue to the east, take down the horse path, Mucheng, and go to the field!"
On the map, after Niangzi Pass, there are these three places. Relying on the mountains, they form a right triangle spreading eastward. By taking these three places, the Seibu Army will have strongholds that can be attacked and defended.
"It's...general!"
Immediately, Lin Zichong and other three lieutenants each led 30,000 troops to attack these three places.
Although these three places are like each other's horns, the connection was cut off the moment they were all surrounded.
Coupled with the relatively small number of defenders, they were all attacked within an hour.
Only the horse path is more difficult to fight, but it also faces the possibility of breaking the defense.
After another hour, all three areas were conquered. It can be said that the efforts were not in vain.
As the name suggests, the horse trail is a narrow mountain road. Generally, only two people can pass side by side. The purpose of taking this horse trail is to prepare for emergencies. When the army needs to retreat, it can be used for defense...
On the map, the horse trail is long and narrow, forming an arrow shape with the wooden castle grounds.
As long as nothing happens at the other two passes, this horse trail is extremely safe.
Hu Yingxing's army set up camp just after walking on the horse road, preparing to annihilate the Wu Dynasty's territory step by step.
War smoke spread across the Western Region, and soon spread to the capital...
What Jiang Ning was worried about finally happened. Without any hesitation, he directly led the 100,000-strong army of the Western Camp and marched in person.
There are also fifty thousand gold guards.
The deputy generals, Wu Hemo and Luo Cheng, have almost recovered for more than two months.
The 100,000-strong army of the Western Camp was already in the West, so reinforcements quickly arrived at Huya Pass.
Tiger Tooth Pass is a natural danger on the eastward march of the Seibu Army. The mountain is steep and looks like two tiger teeth, so it got the name of the pass.
Huya Pass is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is only one road in the middle.
This road up the mountain is full of rocks. Can you imagine how difficult it is from bottom to top?
Soon, Jiang Ning arrived at Huya Pass and set up camp on the mountain...
The scouts came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Seibu Army has passed dozens of passes and is approaching Tiger Ya Pass!"
Jiang Ning nodded and said with a deep look: "Xiwu Army, stop at Huya Pass!"
"Wu He Mo Luo Cheng obeys orders!"
"See you again!"
"You two, each leading 20,000 people, will ambush on both sides of Huya Pass!"
"Primarily archers!"
Jiang Ning ordered them to go up, and bows and arrows are the best defensive machines.
Of course, rocks and rolling logs are also acceptable.
"Yes...Your Majesty..."
Soon, 40,000 Wu Dynasty soldiers hid in the mountains and forests, waiting for work.
Hu Yingxing led the army and descended three more passes. When they arrived near Huya Pass, he looked up at the natural chasm and his eyes sank, "I didn't expect that there is a natural chasm on the western border. It seems that there is going to be a battle next."
A fierce battle!"
Lin Zichong responded: "General, I am willing to give it a try!"
Hu Yingxing waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't march blindly. Let's first send some people to explore the specific situation of Huya Pass!"
Lin Zichong responded and immediately sent hundreds of people out to explore the road.
An hour later, hundreds of people came back, all with disgraced faces, and all their armors were broken!
This made Hu Yingxing and his party stunned. How could they be in such a mess?
"One by one, what happened?"
Hu Yingxing said with deep eyes.
"General... General, the road up the mountain is really difficult. It is no exaggeration to say that if you take one step forward and take three steps back, you may fall down the mountain if you are not careful!"
"yes!"
"It's...too difficult!"
Hu Yingxing glanced at these people and didn't say much. He just waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's get down!"
Sighed.
It seems that the only way up the mountain is Huyaguan.
Hu Yingxing ordered the vanguard to set up camp in Zhucheng, twenty miles away from Huya Pass.
He also called a group of lieutenants to discuss ways to tackle the problem.
"Let's talk about how to break through this tiger's tooth barrier..."
Hu Yingxing pointed at the map and said.
"General, I think it's time to organize a vanguard and attack step by step!"
"Fire attacks are also not advisable. It's summer and there's no way to ignite it!"
"Finding another way won't work either!"
"It seems that we can only attack from the front!"
The lieutenants spoke separately to express their opinions.
Hu Yingxing said: "This Tiger Tooth Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The defenders above can block our attack as long as they prepare bows and arrows, rocks and rolling logs. I think a frontal attack is not advisable!"
"Then...general, what should we do?"
The lieutenants asked in confusion.
Hu Yingxing didn't have a good plan now, so he said in a deep voice: "Wait and see!"
It is not advisable to attack blindly.
Hu Yingxing's combat style is to outsmart as much as possible, and only attack by force as a last resort.
Just like that, staring at the map and calculating...
