The dull sound of war drums spread throughout the area.
The soldiers of Hu Can were very excited at the sound of war drums, and they looked at the pass with bright eyes.
In the military formation, Yuan Minbin looked up at the top of Donggu Pass, without much emotion in his eyes.
Above the city gate.
The defending general Zhou Yi looked at the huge foreign army outside the pass.
He secretly complained in his heart, but how could he show it at this time? He raised his sword and boosted morale.
"Soldiers, defend the city to the death and never let the barbarians climb onto the city walls."
"Reinforcements are coming. Defending the city gates will be a military achievement. Can you do it?"
Hearing that reinforcements were coming, the soldiers defending the city also raised their fighting spirit and shouted.
"Hold on to the bitter end and defend the city gate."
The two sides confronted each other for a while, and with the sound of the attack horn, Hu Can's army began the first round of attack.
The location of Donggu Pass is relatively easy to defend, and it is unlikely that the enemy will be able to break through it in one fell swoop.
Although Hu Can's army had more than 100,000 soldiers, he could only send out about 3,000 troops at a time. If there were more, the battlefield would not be able to accommodate them.
Therefore, when fighting, both sides will have to enter a process of attrition.
The army gradually approached the city gate and reached the range of the attack.
Huge rocks flew out from the city gate and hit the attacking Hu Canjun's formation.
The attacking General Hu also set up a catapult and threw huge stones at the city gate.
The two sides threw huge rocks back and forth, and the rocks filled with kerosene fell and rolled, and the battlefield was suddenly filled with smoke and fire.
Amidst the deafening shouts and cries of killing, one ladder truck after another was pushed towards the city wall.
A rain of arrows flew from the top of the city wall towards the attacking army like a swarm of locusts.
The team pushing the ladder held up their shields to block the arrow attacks.
From time to time, the cries of soldiers hit by arrows could be heard.
When the distance got closer, the archers under General Hu also bent their bows and shot arrows at the city wall to cover the progress of the ladder truck.
Military formations, charges, ladders, climbing walls, rolling logs and stones, hot oil and gold juice, swords clashing, and shouts of killing shaking the sky.
Above Donggu Pass, scenes of offensive and defensive battles from the cold weapon era were played out.
Above the sky, an eagle's cry that startled the sky and stopped the clouds was heard, and a hawk glided towards the southeast of the battlefield.
Southeast of the battlefield, in the mountains and forests.
The team led by Qin Shi was advancing at full speed towards Donggu Pass.
At this time, it was still about two days' journey from Donggu Pass.
This team is the largest after the division, with about seven hundred people.
When we arrived at the intersection of the mountain road and the official road, we suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.
"Hide." Qin Shi made a gesture.
When you look at the horses passing by on the road, you will see that the people riding them are dressed in the style of the Hu Can people.
"Should we kill the regimental commander?" asked the accompanying battalion commander.
"Don't move. They must be the enemy's scouts. Don't expose yourself."
Only after the sound of horse hooves faded away did the team continue to cross the official road and enter the mountains and forests.
The purpose of this trip to the front line is to catch the enemy by surprise in a hurry.
In order to avoid being discovered to be abnormal, Qin Shi’s team must not be exposed at all unless absolutely necessary.
…
Qin Bai, Wu Gong and Wen Zhi have also arrived at the ambush site.
The narrow valley between the two mountains is called Gusong Valley.
The west side of Gusong Valley leads to the Dongguguan battlefield. After leaving the valley, it splits into two roads on the east side, one leading to Liaocheng and the other to Wucheng.
Military vehicles can only pass through here.
After selecting the ambush section, Wu Gong took his men to set up the blasting site.
Two or three blasting points were arranged in front and behind.
Once you're ready, all that's left is to wait for the fish to enter the net.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard, and it was the defenders who had escaped from Wucheng riding their horses and galloping towards the front line.
The ambushed Xincheng soldiers did not move and let them pass quietly.
This is an important part of the plan.
Soon, several more war horses passed by. They must be the defenders of Liaocheng, also heading towards the front line.
In the evening, Jiang Hai and Qin Wan's two teams joined together and arrived at Gusong Valley.
The three teams successfully joined forces, with a total number of more than a thousand people.
The war horses obtained from Wucheng and Liaocheng were all led into the mountains and tied up, some distance away from the ambush site.
After assigning the personnel, Qin Bai and Qin Wan led the team to the opposite hill.
Jiang Hai, Wenzhi and Wugong stayed where they were.
"Get me a camouflage suit." Jiang Hai said.
"Don't they all have jungle camouflage?"
Wu Gong asked in confusion, but still asked someone to get one for Jiang Hai.
After taking the ghillie suit, Jiang Hai put it on Dugu Qiu.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Dugu Qiu tried to push away the ghillie suit that Jiang Hai had put on him with great resistance.
"Look at you, listen to me this time, you won't be wrong. Do you want to suffer the same loss you suffered yesterday again?"
Jiang Hai spoke to the pretentious old man in a bad mood.
Dugu Qiucai put it on reluctantly.
"Hehe, it looks much better this way. Just lie down on the ground and I guarantee that the barbarian dog won't be able to find you even if it steps on you."
Jiang Hai was very satisfied when he saw Dugu Qiu dressed as a green-haired bear.
Dugu Qiu was very dissatisfied.
But Jiang Hai insisted that he put it on properly to avoid being discovered. This ambush was too important and no mistakes could be made.
Several people found a place to sit down and rest. They began to analyze the martial arts.
"The number of horses that went over to report the news just now does not match the number you reported.
In other words, some of them have already gone to Hu Can's country to seek help.
In terms of time, it would take at least three days for the enemy on the front line to receive the news.
If Hu Can comes from inside, it will take about five days.
So after we finish fighting here, we have to move on immediately."
Jiang Hai nodded after hearing this.
“Well, turn to Qin Shi’s route and go around the mountain road to Donggu Pass.
I don’t know how many Qin soldiers can be eliminated by then. If the effect is good, Hu Can’s army should withdraw.
If they still insist on being stubborn, they can only find a way to contact the commander of Donggu Pass and climb the mountain to help guard the pass."
After listening to what Jiang Hai said, Yuchi Ziling came out to speak.
“I know the commander of Donggu Pass, General Zhou, who is friends with my father.
I can help you get in touch then."
"Okay, let's do this. Rest for two days and wait for the fish pond to be fried."
The plan has been finalized, and everyone has dispersed, looking for places to rest.
At this time, Cai'er walked to Dugu Qiu and asked,
"Senior Dugu, can you return your sword to me?"
Dugu Qiu's face turned unhappy when he heard this.
He was covered in green hair, holding the sword in one hand, and swung it out with a swish.
A tree as thick as a leg was cut down by his sword.
Then, with one hand behind his back, he looked up to the sky and shook off the green hair that blocked his view, and spoke casually.
"The sword is not as effective in your hands as it is in mine. I'll return it to you when we get back."
"But you were shot with an arrow as well. And you didn't use my sword either."
“……!”
Dugu Qiu instantly had three black lines on his face. Does this girl know how to chat? Is this how she talks?
