Chapter 434 Seizing the Dragon Throat Pass(1/2)

The horses have been brushed, fed and rested for a long time, and they are as energetic as humans.
Each person is provided with three days of dry food, three days of clean water, and two horses. The army is lightly equipped and has no baggage.
Not only did he have to run hundreds of miles, but he also had to sneak attack the Xili capital and capture the opponent's monarch.
There is no other way but to do it quickly.

The crown prince of Xiqian Kingdom is inspecting the new robe he wore when he ascended the throne.
An old minister came to persuade me, and the beacon fire at Longhou Pass was set on fire twice. I was afraid that some enemies were secretly invading and wanted to take advantage of the new king's grand ceremony to plot evil.
Hu Yanzhao asked him: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"It's better to postpone the ceremony." This person is also upright.
Hu Yanzhao's face suddenly turned dark.
Who doesn't know that the nights are long and the dreams are many? After his father died, he looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to being crowned king tomorrow, but this old man asked him to postpone it?
"Then how long do you want to postpone it?"
The old minister hesitated for a moment: "Just postpone it for...a few days, until Xishan is fine."
"If it is postponed for a few days, and when I am about to be crowned, the beacon fire spontaneously ignites again, what do you think we should do?" Hu Yanzhao said coldly, "Should I postpone it again?"
"Those wild monkeys at Longmiao Pass set the fire, so I have to postpone my appointment? Huh?"
You tell any prince that you want him to be crowned king in a few days and see if he can do it?
"It doesn't matter how many days there is no king in the Kingdom of Xi'an, as long as there is no war in the west, right?"
A series of questions made the old minister crawl to the ground.
"Wei Chen means that Longhou Pass will send more manpower..."
"That's right, send more people to Longhou Pass." Hu Yanzhao waved his hand and asked him to leave. All of them only came to add to the trouble, but they didn't know how to share his worries. "Come here and send the order! Tomorrow, inside and outside the city, inside and outside the palace, there will be no one left.
Be on strict alert! If anything goes wrong, come to see us!"
The guards outside responded, and the order was passed down from level to level.
The guard called his lieutenant over: "Tomorrow, we will be more vigilant inside and outside the city, inside and outside the palace, otherwise you are the only one to ask!"
Lang Guan also called his men over: "Strictly control access to the ceremony, and send extra manpower. You are the only one to blame for any negligence of duty!"
The news reached Chengmen Lang, who was told by Shangfeng: "...otherwise you are the only one to ask!" and then left.
But the ceremony was coming soon, and the security plan was already very tight. Everyone had a place to go, so where should we double the number? The city gatekeeper thought about it and sent an extra group of patrolling guards.
¥¥¥¥¥
The next day, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled.
From beginning to end, it was smooth sailing, without any hiccups.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
On a late night, there is wind but no moon.
In the past few days, the sentry at Longmiao Pass has been paying attention to the beacon tower. He almost takes a few steps before subconsciously looking back, lest something goes wrong again.
People's energy is limited, and if they look too closely at the back, they will miss the front. None of the three of them noticed that a team was slowly approaching under the cover of night.
And the two outposts more than a hundred feet away from Longmiao Pass did not warn at all.
A frightened bird fluttered past in the night. A sentry on the wall looked over and saw an arrow flying from the side in the darkness, hitting his throat.
At the same time, He Lingchuan and others also climbed down from the top of the Guan Tower and quietly wiped the necks of the other two people.
The man with the arrow in his throat staggered twice and was about to fall off the high wall. He Lingchuan quickly caught him and gently placed him on the ground.
Otherwise, the sound would be too loud at night.
Two teams of the Gale Army acted together, and the other team was led by Captain Sun.
He Lingchuan gestured to him, which meant that the sentries were cleared.
Captain Sun nodded, glanced down twice, determined the position of the city gate winch, and then dropped two palm-sized copper puppets.
These two things fell to the ground and turned into a huge copper guard more than one foot tall with a "bang"!
They are covered in thick armor. After landing, the first thing they do when they get up is to push the winch and open the city gate!
Longhou Pass is the first and most important gateway for the West Fang Kingdom to defend Panlong City. A lot of effort has been put into the city gate. It is four feet thick and is made of ironwood, fine iron, and rhinoceros skin.
, usually the winch controls the up and down opening and closing.
It took eight strong men or four horses to push this winch, but how could the strength of the Bronze Guard be matched by humans?
As soon as they worked hard, the winch started up with a creak, obviously it had not been oiled and maintained for a while. It rotated from slow to fast, and the city gate that was embedded in the ground was slowly raised amidst the sound of machine rolling.
The garrison at Longhou Pass is not dead. Who can hide this dull sound and vibration?
Amidst the shrill cries and whistles of "enemy attack", the garrison rushed out of the barracks to defend themselves against the enemy, and a shower of arrows suddenly fell from the mountain peak.
The Dafeng military guards who had been lying in wait for a long time finally took action.
At this time, the door above the city gate was kicked away from the inside. If someone happened to be standing outside the door, they would be slapped in the face by the door panel.
The guard general rushed out with a mace in his hand, shouting: "Seize the winch and go to the gate tower!"
Seizing the winch means securing the level and clearing out the enemy soldiers on the gate tower, so that the defenders can calmly deal with the army outside.
The door panel is right next to it, so hit it with a shield.
The guard was not afraid, he swung his mace and hit it three times in succession, knocking the door panel two feet away.
But the task of the door panel is to attract firepower.
The guard struck hard, and another string of arrows flew from the dark place. One hit his throat, the second hit his ribs, and the third hit his knees. It was Willow's attack.
The guard's reaction was also quite impressive. He raised his hand and knocked away two arrows. He raised his leg, and the one that shot him in the knee was shot in the calf.
He groaned, but with Yuanli protecting his body, the arrow penetrated two points into the flesh and failed to cause an open wound.
The wicker divides the power of an arrow into three paths, so the penetration is naturally limited.
But her three arrows were just false moves.
The real killing is behind the guard:
He Lingchuan quietly drew the sword.
When it comes to victory or defeat on the battlefield, who will challenge you in a one-on-one duel?
The guard felt the hair on his back stand on end, as if something terrifying was coming, so he fell sideways without thinking and threw out his mace with his backhand.
He was not slow to dodge, but he was still slower than He Lingchuan. The light of the sword changed and it passed by the guard's arm holding the baton first.
He only felt a coldness and pain in his wrist.
The arm was severed at the wrist, with a smooth incision.
When his palm and mace fell to the ground, the guard felt the pain and couldn't help but scream. Several guards from behind rushed to protect him, but one of them was shot by a willow stick, and one was stabbed to death by Hu Min's dagger. The last one was He Lingchuan.
learn.
The guard has reached the wall and is about to turn over and jump down.
He Lingchuan raised his hand and shot out an arrow from his sleeve, piercing his shoulder and hooking it back.
On the side, Captain Sun was controlling the golden-armored bronze guard. When he saw this, he couldn't help but rush closer and cut off the guard's head with a knife.
"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't yours!" Hu Min couldn't help shouting, this guy is taking credit!
Captain Sun smiled at him, grinned his white teeth, and then raised the head of the guard and shouted at Guan Xia: "Hu Bin is dead, Hu Bin is dead!"
This guard was called Hu Bin.
The Xiqian garrison looked up and saw that all their leaders were dead, and the morale of the troops was in great confusion.
The door panel also shouted: "If you surrender, you won't be killed; if you open the door, you won't be killed!"
The Xili garrison went to attack the two gold-armored bronze guards, but the latter buried their heads in pushing the winch and did not resist at all.
Their copper-skinned, iron-framed and steel armors also have elemental energy to protect their bodies, so when the weapon is struck across the body, sparks will be drawn out, and only the joints will be effective.
To be continued...
