Chapter 399 Guards at Yangguan Ancient Road Crossing
Stone City.
Report.
A soldier covered in blood ran up to the city with a smile on his face.
"General, Ma Qianchang has successfully captured two enemy weapons depots. As expected, there are a large number of spears and arrows stored in them. The brothers are distributing them one by one."
"Well done. I will give you the first credit." Huo Yun let out a long sigh of relief.
"Old Huo," County Sheriff Zhu Jialiang's hands kept itching, "When can I go out of the city to kill them?"
His wife and young daughter were hard at work carrying stones and equipment not far away, while his son, who had just turned fourteen, had already followed the team out of the city.
As the head of the family, Zhu Jialiang was a little unable to stand at this time.
"Sir," Huo Yun said with a strange look on his face, "you are the county guard, and fighting is our military affairs. If anything goes wrong with you, I will not be able to bear it."
"Bullshit." Shanshan's originally gentle county magistrate has become accustomed to swearing, "We have two shoulders and one head. Everyone must do their part to protect the family and the country."
Huo Yun nodded, "I hope you don't have to worry. At this time, all parties are progressing smoothly. You don't need to take action for the time being. Just take care of the various logistical affairs in Tongshun City."
After saying that, he looked far away to the Yangguan Ancient Road in the northeast.
There are many people in the city, and most of them have been trained, and they all hate the people of Xiliang.
As long as they have enough weapons, it shouldn't be a big problem to withstand the Blood Moon people's low-spirited attack, and they can even follow the crazy Ma Dali to expand their results.
As for the west, he had no worries about the fortress.
There is a Starfall Legion on the east post road. There are only a few people there, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
The Yingling Legion in the south has been using windmills to spread the good news.
Now let’s take a look at Xia Bang’s work on the Yangguan Ancient Road.
As long as they can arrive in time, they can contain or even defeat the enemy.
Then this battle will be much easier to fight.
Yangguan Ancient Road, Yanhui Legion.
The dazzling firelight in the west reflected the entire sky red, and many people were completely sleepless.
Tian Hongyan took a good nap first, woke up, washed himself leisurely, stretched out, and then came out to look to the west.
"How is Chabonwei doing now?" he asked the bodyguard standing outside.
Did he get a bloody blow in front of the defenders at the ancient crossing?
"Back to the general, Mr. Xia has broken through the Xiliang garrison at sunrise and is leading his troops to Peishi City."
"Impossible." Tian Hongyan jumped up directly.
There are more than 100,000 Yanhui Corps and Dingxi garrison stationed in the Yangguan Ancient Road.
Angel knew the danger, so he had people build checkpoints in the narrow places of the ancient road imitating them.
Although Xiliang is accustomed to living in tents and yurts and is not proficient in building checkpoints or city walls, Tian Hongyan has sent people to investigate many times and found that the other side's checkpoints are still in good shape.
Even if they brought all the baggage back to attack, it would still take a lot of effort to capture it.
There were only 20,000 people in Chabon. Even if they attacked by surprise, they would never be able to capture it so easily.
"General, although what you said is true. But according to the news from the spies, Mr. Xia has indeed broken through the barrier."
Tian Hongyan stood blankly for a while, then suddenly became anxious.
"How is this possible? Go and find out how they got there."
"Chabonwei has less than a hundred trebuchets and some shabby climbing vehicles. The pass is so narrow that there is no room for either the trebuchets or the climbing vehicles."
"With these useless rags, I don't believe they actually fought. Unless..."
Unless the Xiliang garrison withdraws by itself and gives way to the pass.
But how is this possible!
Yangguan ancient road crossing.
Chabon sat on his horse and looked back at the Xiliang Pass looming in the morning mist.
"Sir, except for the baggage, most of the brothers have passed the checkpoints and assembled."
Chabon was not surprised, "Pay attention to the people coming ahead. The defenders at the pass sent a signal for help last night, and the enemy's reinforcements should be arriving soon."
"clear."
"We don't have much time. No matter how many enemies are in front of us, we will kill them all. At any cost, we must reach the outskirts of Toishi City before the time designated by General Huo."
All Qian Chang and Bai Chang responded in unison, "Yes!"
"Set off!"
After saying that, Chabonwei gently kissed the stone ball the size of a human head in his hand, and then threw it directly on the ground.
This stone ball is covered with a layer of rattan net, and in addition to the stones, there are also a large number of dried Ailanthus leaves in the net.
That's right, it was the chemical weapon Ren Ning used to stop the Blood Moon Eagle from flying on Yi Road.
Since the Yanhui Army moved its defense to the Yangguan Ancient Road, Xia Bangwei was finally able to free up his hands to do something he had always wanted to do.
He sent people to Luoxia Mountain to collect a large number of Ailanthus leaves, dried them in the sun, and then added igniters to make stone balls like this.
At midnight last night, the attack order was issued. After the chemical weapons were ignited, the trebuchets outside the city threw them batch by batch into the pass built by the Xiliang people.
Although Xueyue and Angel were both from Xiliang, they seemed to be very different from each other most of the time. Xueyue Yingxiang never told Angel that he had encountered such a weapon.
After the defenders at the pass woke up, they ignored the smoking objects and stepped on them one after another to rush to the walled city. Then they collectively vomited, lost strength, and even fell into a coma.
Chabon waited patiently for an hour before ordering the attack. During this period, they encountered only sporadic resistance, and they easily captured the pass.
It's just that the Dingxi garrison had already hated the Xiliang people deeply, even though Xia Bangwei had ordered the city gate to be demolished as soon as possible so that the horses, baggage and other materials could pass through as quickly as possible.
Although the soldiers said yes, when they saw the unconscious Xiliang man on the ground, they couldn't help but wave their swords at him, and this has been delayed until now.
well.
Chabon sighed regretfully.
If it weren't for the fact that Ailanthus ailanthus trees were so hard to find, it took him two years to get this together, and the wind direction was wrong at this time. Otherwise, Shabang would have planned to take them to attack Peishi City and let the enemies outside the city have a taste of it.
Taste the Ailanthus ailanthus.
The news spread back to the Yanhui Legion again.
Although the reason is unknown, Xia Bangwei did lead the Dingxi garrison to pass the checkpoint at the entrance of the ancient road. Moreover, the smell of blood in the pass was so strong that it even dyed the nearby river red.
When Tian Hongyan heard this, he couldn't sit still at all.
"Any news on anything else?"
"Back to the general, according to the spies' reports, after a night of fierce fighting, almost all aspects of our progress are going smoothly. General Huo Yun even sent a large number of troops out of the city to attack the Blood Moon tribe, and successfully captured two weapons depots."
What?
Tian Hongyan stood up immediately.
He stared at the map intently, and after a while, he slapped the table hard.
"This general orders everyone to pack up immediately and set off in two quarters of an hour. Head west!"
"Leave five thousand people to garrison the checkpoint at the ancient road entrance. The others will follow my general to attack the enemies outside Peishi City, and cooperate with other brother troops to completely drive the Xiliang people out of our Dingxi County."
The messengers around looked at each other, and they were a little unable to react for a while.
boom!
Tian Hongyan slapped the table hard again.
"Why don't you go and deliver the order! If you delay the opportunity to fight, I will take advantage of you."
"Yes!" The soldiers woke up from a dream and left in a hurry.
Soon the entire Yanhui station was in a state of excitement.
