Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 377 The Battle of Jianzhou Pass

Anguo, in the Shenglong Mansion.

Yuhuatian played with the warm black tortoise jade sculpture in his hand with great interest, feeling the comfort of the warm current flowing through the body from the jade tortoise, he couldn't help showing a smile, and praised:
"What a treasure, it is indeed the treasure of the royal family of the Li Dynasty! The kings of the Li Dynasty have passed away almost at the age of [-] or [-]. In addition to the martial arts passed down by the Li family, it is mostly because of this treasure. ! Your Majesty must be delighted to present this object to His Majesty's holy presence!"

In the line of sight that is difficult for ordinary people to see clearly, a line of characters appeared on the jade turtle.

[Fifth Grade Treasure, Jade Black Turtle
Introduction: It is a township of the Li Dynasty, passed down from generation to generation, and it is miraculous

Wearing effect: 1. After wearing it, health +20. 2. Acquire the skill "Shoulder of the Turtle", warm up every day, and greatly increase the lifespan. 】

Presenting such a treasure in front of His Majesty today, coupled with eradicating the resistance forces in the rivers and lakes of Anguo, the combination of the two will definitely help him return to the capital.

Thinking of this, Yuhuatian's eyes became even more joyful.

"That Xia man named Zhong Meng, how did the interrogation go?" Yu Huatian asked Dongchang Fanzi beside him.

Hearing this, Dongchang fans hurriedly said:

"Grandpa Hui, although this person was stubborn at first, he finally confessed! This person was born in the Zonghengmen of Xia State, and was ordered by Gong Yingzong in the door to come to Anguo together with Xia Guojun and Xiuyi envoys. It is necessary to encourage Anguo to resist the forces and contain my Dayun soldiers. Once the confession has been completed, it can be sent to the capital at any time and presented to the imperial court!"

"Zonghengmen? A sect that can be favored by Xia Guochaotang and serve under his command, why is it not so famous?" Yu Huatian asked with raised eyebrows.

People in the rivers and lakes claim to be with the court, and the well water does not violate the river water.

But in fact, no matter which country's court, the high-end military force in the court, or the elite soldiers and horses from various places, they are enough to deter and crush the martial arts.How many people in the martial arts world have cut their heads to serve in the imperial court and enjoy the glory and wealth.

Under such introverted circumstances, the martial arts sect that can serve Xia Guochaotang is definitely not an ordinary sect!

"In my Dongchang files, this Zonghengmen suddenly appeared 20 years ago. It has attracted many masters in the world. It's just that in the past, it was relatively low-key, so its reputation is not obvious. But in terms of power, it must not Look down!"

The owner of the Zonghengmen is Gong Yingzong, who obviously founded the Zongheng family after leaving the Zongheng family.The reason should be to be able to use the world as a chessboard, compete with his senior brother Zhang Yue, and complete the tradition of the disciples of the Strategists of all ages!

Yu Huatian didn't know the identity of Gong Yingzong, so he just nodded, put the jade turtle in his hand into the brocade box, and said in a deep voice:
"Send capable personnel to escort the secret report and this jade turtle all the way to Beijing, and they must be delivered to His Majesty, and there must be no mistakes!"

It's about his ability to return to Beijing as soon as possible. If Yuhuatian hadn't been able to leave his post without authorization, he might wish to personally escort him to Zhongqing City.

Hearing this, the subordinates clasped their fists and responded immediately:
"Please rest assured, Eunuch!"
-
Jiangyang County, Guangyuan Mansion, Jianzhou.

There is a mountain here, named Dajian Mountain.At the break of the mountain, the cliffs on both sides go straight into the sky, and the peaks lean against the sky like swords, hence the name "Dajian Mountain".

The cliff is separated, and the two walls are facing each other. It is shaped like a door, and the narrowest part is only tens of feet wide, which is extremely dangerous.

Jianzhou Pass stands on the road, built of stone, and guards the road leading to Jiangyang County.After the Yun army entered Jiangyang County, they made more repairs and heightened it, making it completely a dangerous pass that made people feel that it was difficult to overcome.

But at this time, just before Jianzhou Pass, Xia Jun's flag was fluttering, and amidst the sound of thunderous drums, they shouted and attacked forward.

"Kill!"

Because the road in front of Jianzhou Pass is extremely narrow, even though Xia's army has a large number of soldiers, they can only select more than a thousand elite dead soldiers to fight hard in an attempt to capture Jianzhou Pass.

But at the next moment, there was only a muffled sound of "Zheng" above Jianzhou Pass.Feathered arrows shot out, forming a dark cloud above the sky, like a cloud.

At this time, there was more smoke billowing into the sky, and the vision of birds and beasts with deer body and leopard pattern suddenly condensed and manifested.

[Tianxiong Army, Level [-] Special Archers]

[Soldier required training degree——…]

【precondition--……】

【Equipment Required——…】

[Characteristics—one mind: All soldiers are from the same village, share joys and sorrows, and one mind.When the army loses 40%, the morale is doubled and the attack power is increased by 2 points]

[Attributes - individual combat power: 22, attack: 8, defense: 3, blood volume: 9, movement: 2]

Fei Lian, the beast in charge of the wind in mythology, is now surrounded by blue light.When it manifested, it revealed its magic, and the wind direction in front of Jianzhou Pass suddenly changed.

The mountain wind is getting stronger, and when passing through the surrounding valleys, it forms a whistling sound, which makes people feel numb.

More than a thousand Xia soldiers charged forward, but they suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in front of them. The wind was so strong that the soldiers in armor stagnated and felt strenuous.

But the rain of arrows in the air, supported by the wind at this time, is actually more fierce and faster.

The next moment, the sound of piercing through the air came, and the feather arrows fell like raindrops.

Xia Jun charging towards Jianzhou Pass in front of him is also a rare elite!
Amidst bursts of inspiring military drums, Xia Jun's murderous spirit soared into the sky.

The vision of the fierce tiger, although the figure is slightly illusory, but after all, it is condensed and manifested in front of the world.

At this time, facing the rain of arrows from the Tianxiong Army, the vision of the tiger roared up to the sky, and the incoming arrows in the air froze for a moment.

Above Jianzhou Pass, the Feilian beast seemed to be provoked, roared in a low voice, moved its body, and rushed forward suddenly, biting and fighting.

Along with the visions of the armies on both sides fighting together, the two armies were overwhelmed by the heavy and overwhelming forces, and they began to constantly contend with each other.

The sound of tigers roaring and birds singing clearly reached the ears of the soldiers on both sides.

Those Xia Jun who had already fought against the Yun Army before, even though they already knew about the vision of the army, but at the same time as the Tianxiong Army on the opposite side gathered the vision, they still couldn't help but feel a little fear.

And it wasn't until they saw that in their own army, there was also a vision of a large army condensed to compete with each other, which boosted the morale of these Xia troops.

Accompanied by the sound of passionate military drums, the officers and soldiers of the Xia army who were watching the battle from behind suddenly shouted loudly:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Xia Jun's morale increased greatly, and under the shouts in unison, the exciting voice full of chills echoed through the surrounding valleys, and the sound shook all directions.

With Xia Jun's high morale, the vision of the army immediately gave birth to feedback.

The vision of the fierce tiger, which was still somewhat vain, gradually solidified at this time, and the awe-inspiring aura around him became heavier.

But no matter how elite the Xia army in front of them is, no matter how high their morale is, in the end, they are just the elite dare-to-die people temporarily selected from the Xia army.

Without a long period of training, these elite Xia troops are as good as the sky, but they are only comparable to the Miao soldiers of the first-tier special arms. How can they be the opponents of the Tianxiong army of the third-tier special arms?

The next moment, Fei Lian's vision suddenly pounced down, and the horns of his ferocious head pierced into the body of the tiger's vision like a shooting star.

The vision of the fierce tiger that had already solidified a little bit, now its body swayed like a wave of water, and became vacant again.The tiger raised its head to the sky and let out a mournful cry, its figure gradually dissipated into nothingness.

At this time, Xia Jun seemed to be strangled by someone's neck, and the sound shook all directions. The loud shouts that boosted the morale of the army stopped immediately, and looked up at the sky with astonishment and horror.

The next moment, the sound of whistling came to the ears, and the rain of arrows hit.

Even though Xia Jun was wearing full armor, without the protection of the vision of the army, facing the feathered arrows of the Tianxiong Army at this time, it was as if he had never been armored.

Feathered arrows rained down one after another, piercing directly through the Xia army's heavy armor and penetrating deep into the flesh and blood.Xia Jun charging, amidst the puffing sound of flesh and blood being pierced, let out bursts of wailing and screaming, echoing through the mountains and cliffs, making people feel fearful.

The elite Xia army, who had lost their vigor and morale, no longer rushed to Jianzhou Pass, but retreated one after another.

In front of Xia Jun's formation, a middle-aged general with a slightly thin body, a sharp and resolute face, and indifferent eyes, was surrounded by a group of elite soldiers and Xia Jun generals in full armor at this time.

Behind him, a banner with the words "Great Xia Left General Qiu" stands, moving with the wind.

Qiu Tianlu, the left general of the Xia Kingdom, is a famous general alongside Deyang Hou Qimo in the northern border of the Xia Kingdom!
Everyone in the northern border knew that Qi Mo, Marquis of Deyang, was a disciple of a military family. He was good at tricks, used troops to take risks, and often went deep alone to attack the enemy's vital points.It was also because of this that he was able to personally lead the troops to ambush Di Qing.

As for Qiu Tianlu, he was from the legal school among the hundreds of schools.Entering the army to serve, his way of running the army is quite like Yun Guo's general who conquered the north without knowing the process, using strict military laws to clean up military discipline and train soldiers.

Seeing that the Xia army in front of them began to retreat without hearing the military order, Qiu Tianlu's face suddenly became gloomy.

He slowly raised the whip in his hand, looked around at the generals around him, and said coldly:

"Ben Shuai's ears are not working? Why didn't you hear the sound of Mingjin?"

When all the generals heard the words, their hearts trembled, and they all bowed their heads in silence.

When Qiu Tianlu heard the words, he snorted coldly, and immediately shouted:

"I didn't hear the military order, so I retreated without permission. The leading generals should be punished according to the military law, and beheaded to inform the army! The remaining generals and schools should be relieved of all positions, so as to imitate others!"

The generals who had never served under Qiu Tianlu before all frowned at this moment.But the general who knew Qiu Tianlu's temperament, sighed in his heart and remained silent.

Are these soldiers wronged?
Without hearing the military order, he retreated without authorization, which is indeed a violation of military law, and it is not wronged!

But the Xia army's elite retreated after suffering heavy losses under the rain of arrows from the cloud army, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, so they retreated instead of retreating because of the leader and general.

If the rest of the generals lead the army, the top general will be held accountable for the crimes of the leading general on the surface. Just let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds. Why be beheaded and preached?
Running the army is extremely strict, even to the point of being too harsh. This is something that Qiu Tianlu has always been criticized by people.

It is precisely because of this that even though he is a famous general in the northern border, even though he has made great achievements in battle, even more outstanding than Deyang Hou Zimmer, he has not yet been able to obtain a title under the open and secret opposition of the generals in the army.

Some generals couldn't bear it, and persuaded:
"General Zuo, beheading the main general, I'm afraid it is too harsh... After all, the defeat in this battle is mostly due to the dangerous terrain of Jianzhou Pass, and the Yun army is brave and good at fighting. If it is handled like this, it may have a considerable impact on the morale of the army. !"

If the battle is defeated, the commander will be killed. If you act like this, everyone in the army must be afraid of fighting. Who else dares to ask for orders to go into battle?
Upon hearing the words, Qiu Tianlu looked coldly at the general who spoke, and said:
"Although the military law is strict, it has always been clearly stated in the army. The soldiers don't know what to do? Now that it is violated, it will be dealt with according to the military law!"

At this time, the Xia army, who had left hundreds of corpses behind, just returned in defeat.

With a cold voice, Qiu Tianlu said indifferently:
"Take it!"

A group of soldiers around Qiu Tianlu shouted violently, stepped forward immediately, suppressed the fleeing soldiers, and immediately announced Qiu Tianlu's military order loudly.

The leading general of the Xia army opened his eyes wide at this time, and shouted in horror:

"Marshal, please forgive me once you're convicted. The general asks you to be dismissed from the military and go to..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Tianlu's soldiers raised their sabers, and heard a "puff", blood flowed, and the big head rolled to the ground, with round eyes, showing unwillingness, just dying Staring at Qiu Tianlu ahead.

Qiu Tianlu's expression was indifferent, nothing unusual, and continued to shout:
"Order the ministries to take turns attacking day and night!"

The heads of the leading generals were not far ahead, how dare all the generals dare to resist?They all lowered their heads and cupped their fists.

No one took the initiative to ask for death?

unimportant!As long as the military law is strict, no one dares to disobey the military order, and everyone can only die!
"Also, Jianzhou Pass is extremely narrow, and there are no more than 300 soldiers guarding the pass at a time, so it is difficult to deploy an army formation. Everyone from the Zonghengmen, please prepare to take action!" Qiu Tianlu continued.

Just as Cheng Bushi had guessed before, Xia Jun didn't plan to attack with his life.

Before the start of the war, Xia Guo mobilized and prepared a group of martial arts experts through Gong Yingzong, hoping to take advantage of the narrow pass of Jianzhou and the difficulty of deploying the Yunjun army to break through this dangerous pass in one fell swoop.

As soon as this remark came out, several people from the Jianghu who were dressed in strong attire and imposing, walked out slowly.

The leader of the rivers and lakes shook his head slightly at this time, and flatly refused:
"I was ordered by the head of the sect to help the army, and I will obey the order... But now the cloud army is brave and elite, and the bows and crossbows are strong. I will only die in vain if I go forward! Please also ask the left general to send troops to spend some time. When the time is right, I will take the initiative."

Hearing this, Qiu Tianlu frowned, and said coldly:
"Whether the time is right or not is up to me, not you!"

It's a joke, it's not that there are no masters in the army.If the Yun army is exhausted and the arrows are exhausted, why do martial arts people like them take action?
Among these people, the so-called time is ripe, but they just want to delay it and let the Xia army consume the Yun army to reduce the loss of the masters in the vertical and horizontal sect!

The leader of the people in the Jianghu frowned at this time, and said a word neither softly nor hard, saying:
"I am here to help the army, I am following the order of the sect master, not serving General Zuo!"

"You are already in the army, but you still consider yourself a quack?"

Qiu Tianlu's voice was cold, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes, he looked at them deeply, the threat in his words hardly meant to cover up.

People in Jianghu are rarely restrained, except for Gong Yingzong, the master of the Zonghengmen, there is no one who can make them obey orders respectfully.

At this time, Qiu Tianlu was so threatening and scolding, the leader felt even more unhappy, and wanted to refute it, but was pulled by a companion behind him.

"Don't forget the door master's order!"

Hearing this sentence, no matter how unhappy these people felt, they could only force themselves to hold back, lowered their heads and gritted their teeth and said:
"I would like to listen to General Zuo's orders!"

After all, he is from the martial arts world, and Qiu Tianlu lacks the means to restrain him, so he can only accept it as soon as he sees it. His expression softened slightly, and he turned around to leave.

But at this moment, the strong man headed by the Zonghengmen couldn't bear the unhappiness in his heart. He wanted to block Qiu Tianlu, and immediately said loudly:

"General Zuo! The Turks often invade the northern border, burning, killing, and looting. The soldiers in the northern border hate the Turkic people very much. And because you use your troops properly, you can often win victories. This is the reason why the soldiers can endure your strict military law. .”

"But Yunguo is not Turkic! It also inherited the ritual system of the Central Plains, and it is also the emperor's title officially recognized by my Great Xia. You still govern the army like this, and there must be complaints from the top and bottom of the army. The heart of throwing clouds?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals changed immediately.

Unfavorable combat will be dealt with by military law, and you may die under the arrows of the cloud army if you fight hard.Both left and right will die, and surrendering to Yun Kingdom may not be a way out!
But boy, can this be said in such a large public?
At this moment, Qiu Tianlu's leaving pace faltered slightly, he turned his head to look at the strong man, his right hand clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyes were full of undisguised murderous intent.

The next moment, the sword light flickered first, and only then did I hear the dragon chant of the long sword unsheathed.

The mighty sword light filled the sight of everyone present.The fierce and fierce sword energy swept over, and even before it got close, it already made everyone's faces sting.

The strong man headed by the Zonghengmen sensed the awe-inspiring murderous intent from Qiu Tianlu, and was shocked in his heart, and immediately wanted to fight back.But at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was a majestic and dignified army coming over him like a net, binding his limbs so that he couldn't move.

When the sword light dissipated and everyone reacted again, the bun on the top of the strong man's head had been neatly cut off.The rest of the hair scattered disorderly, and the strong man was covered in cold sweat, trembling in place, in extreme embarrassment.

It's not that the strong man is cowardly, it's that there is a great fear in the moment of life and death, and few people can face it calmly.

If Qiu Tianlu's long sword hadn't been lifted a few inches high, what fell to the ground at this moment would not have been his hair!

Qiu Tianlu was born as a disciple of the legalist school, and he has the most advanced martial arts in the legalist school. Under the background of the great changes in the world, his martial arts has naturally stepped into the ninth rank.

But just now, when Qiu Tianlu's long sword was swung by the strong man who was also a ninth-level master, a chilling army gathered and crushed him, like a trap, making him powerless to resist!

Qiu Tianlu looked at the strong man, his face was even more cold, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said:
"This is a word to shake the morale of the army. According to the military law, you should be executed! You are born in the Jianghu and don't understand military discipline. This commander can bypass you once. But if you hear it again, it will be the time of your death!"

If Qiu Tianlu had said it in the mouth of a strong man, he would never be able to break into the prestige of a famous general in the world if he only knew how to suppress his generals with strict laws and military discipline.

These people in the rivers and lakes are the ones that Gong Yingzong has subdued as the master of the Zongheng Sect over the years.Qiu Tianlu actually didn't have much restraint on them.

But these high-level warriors are the key to Xia Jun's ability to quickly win Jianzhou Pass.It was because of this that Qiu Tianlu suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and slightly raised the long sword in his hand.

At this time, the strong man, together with a group of masters from the vertical and horizontal sect, faced the mighty Qiu Tianlu at this moment, they were not as confident as before, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Seeing this, Qiu Tianlu said coldly:
"Go back and get ready!"

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, bowed their hands together and saluted, and said in their mouths:
"Follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief (Left General)!"

The crowd dispersed, Qiu Tianlu stopped at the same spot, looked at the dangerous and majestic Jianzhou Pass in the distance, flung his cloak, turned and left.

"Send civilians to collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle. If there are serious injuries and survivors, they will do their best to treat them... There is also the general who registered his death in battle on the battle book, and the pension will be doubled. If there are elderly parents and young children in the family, they will be paid by themselves Take silver from among them as offerings, and the share remains the same as before.”

The voice was cold, still showing a hint of indifference.

The commander of the personal soldiers is used to it, and replied:
"The commander-in-chief doesn't need to give special instructions, his subordinates will remember it!"
-
"Lieutenant, we have found out that Guangyuan Mansion City has been captured by the Xia army. At this time, most of the [-] Xia army is stationed in front of Jianzhou Pass, and the battle is fierce."

Hearing that Guangyuan Mansion had lost the news, the faces of several generals became a little ugly.

Guangyuan Mansion has been lost, Xia Jun does not have to worry about being disturbed in the rear, most of the soldiers and horses can be stationed directly in front of Jianzhou Pass, and it also blocks the way for reinforcements.

Even if Jiang Wei and other troops came here, with only a few hundred troops, it would be difficult to break through Xia's heavy troops and go to Jianzhou Pass for support!
But at this time, compared to the frustration and embarrassment of the generals, Jiang Wei was slightly relieved, nodded and said:

"The commander-in-chief only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but he has to divide them into two counties. It is inevitable that the troops will be stretched. He can only arrange soldiers and horses above the fortresses in various places. Guangyuan Mansion has stationed hundreds of soldiers and horses before. It's normal to not be able to stop. But as long as Jianzhou Pass is not lost, Jiangyang County will be safe! And above Jianzhou Pass, the commander personally arranged for [-] Tianxiong troops to garrison. With this elite division stationed, there is no need to worry about Xia The army will break through soon!"

The loss of Guangyuan Mansion is normal, after all, only a few hundred soldiers and horses were stationed again before.And all the generals and schools, after hearing that there are three thousand heavenly troops stationed at Jianzhou Pass, their faces are no longer so ugly.

These people, who followed Jiang Wei on the Tubo border back then, had seen the Tianxiong army show off their might.

The Jianzhou Pass is extremely dangerous, and one man should guard the pass than ten thousand pass.The Tianxiong army has a strong bow and crossbow, which can be called unparalleled in the world.Combining the two, no matter how powerful the Xia army is, it may not be so easy to break through the Jianzhou pass.

And as long as the Jianzhou Pass is not lost, there is nothing to worry about in Jiangyang County.

All the generals pondered for a while, and then said:

"But Captain, Xia Jun is well prepared, and there are many martial arts masters to help, Jianzhou Pass will be lost if you defend it for a long time! Wait, we must not sit back and watch Xia Jun attack!"

"Yes, Captain, we have to think of a way!"

"How about, let's cut off their food supply? It's difficult for Xia's army to supply supplies. If we make trouble, it will definitely make it difficult for Xia's army to attack for a long time!"

"We don't have much supplies, so it's a good idea to just feed on the enemy!"

Jiang Wei thought for a while, but shook his head and said:
"Xia Jun came prepared, with a large number of troops. As long as we block the roads and send most of our soldiers and horses to escort the food and grass, we will have no way to start, but we will have no choice but to feed on the enemy. We will be the ones who will be exhausted first. !"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.

It is naturally a good way for cavalry to harass the supply troops.But on the Taurus Road, where most of the roads are surrounded by cliffs, it is difficult for them to let go.

Jiang Wei frowned, and after pondering for a long time, suddenly his eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Perhaps, there is a way to try!"

When the generals heard this, their eyes immediately turned to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei stood up straight and said in a deep voice:
"Choose twenty elite cavalry and follow me. The rest of the men and horses will cut down logs as banners, drag branches, and stir up dust outside the city of Guangning, set up more tents, and make it look like a large army is coming!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals were stunned.

"Lieutenant, are you trying to coax Xia Jun to return to defense?"

Jiang Wei nodded and said boldly:

"Xia Jun is rushing to attack Jianzhou Pass. If my army attacks, the retreat will be cut off, and all [-] soldiers and horses will be lost here. General Xia Jun must not dare to gamble on this move, and must hasten to send troops back to defend Guangyuan Mansion. .At that time, the Jianzhou Pass will no longer be defended by heavy troops, and with twenty fine cavalry, I may be able to charge into the Jianzhou Pass!"

All the generals were shocked by Jiang Wei's words at this time.

In the end it was an army of [-], even if most of the soldiers and horses returned to defend Guangyuan Mansion, there were at least thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Guanxia.

Twenty vs. thousands?With such a thought, except for Jiang Wei, the rest of the people probably don't have the guts!
Looking at the astonished expressions of the generals, Jiang Wei continued:

"Even if things are impossible at that time, it may not be impossible for me to rush into Jianzhou Pass alone!"

Although the ninth-level masters can't break through the formation alone, as long as they don't directly attack the enemy's formation, their lives will be safe. It must not be difficult to rush into Jianzhou Pass.

As for the cloud army guarding the heavenly pass, the elite Tianxiong army stationed there, the only worry was that there would be a surprise attack by Xia Guo's masters, so Jiang Wei, a rank nine master, came to support him.

As long as he enters Jianzhou Pass and is able to defend against Xia Guo's masters, whether these hundreds of cavalry can come to help has nothing to do with the overall situation!

The generals thought for a while, but they also wanted to understand this point, and they all felt that the success rate of this strategy was extremely high, so they immediately made up their minds, stood up and cupped their hands together, and said in a deep voice:

"Follow the command of the captain!"

With an order, the eight hundred cavalry immediately started to move.

Logging was used as a banner, and the horses dragged the branches and rode the horses back and forth, creating a big battle.

The guard general of the Xia Army who stayed behind in Guangyuan Mansion had just received the news that the Jinniu Dao camp had been attacked by the Yun army. When he was feeling nervous, he saw smoke and dust billowing outside the city of Guangning Mansion, and there were galloping horses.

This battle, like tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the cloud, immediately frightened the guard of Xia Jun to his wits, and he said anxiously:
"Quickly go to Jianzhou Pass and report to the commander. Most of the cloud army has broken through the Jinniu Dao camp and is approaching Guangyuan Mansion. The situation is dangerous now, please deal with it quickly!"

"Yes!"
-
Under Jianzhou Pass, the battle is raging.

The battle drums from both sides were beating together, and the sound was so powerful that the shouts of killing never stopped all day and night.

Under Qiu Tianlu's strict military law, the generals of the Xia army did not dare to neglect at all, and personally led the troops to suppress the formation.

Driven by the generals of the battalions, the soldiers of the Xia army could only grit their teeth and charge forward with their shields high, even though there were arrows raining down on their heads.

The guarding Yunjun did not dare to relax, the sound of bow strings vibrating and the sound of crossbows ringing can be heard endlessly.

I don't know how many arrows have been hoarded in Jianzhou Pass. Since the siege of the city, the rain of arrows has not stopped for a moment, and the rolling logs and stones keep falling, so that all the Xia soldiers can only hit the wall and return.

The Xia army was divided into several divisions, and they took turns to attack endlessly, but they couldn't hold back the Yun army's dominant position.

The Jianzhou pass is narrow and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It only needs hundreds of soldiers to defend at a time, and it can resist the Xia army's strong attack.The [-] Heavenly Heroes were also divided into several divisions, who took turns fighting and resting, not afraid of Xia's army at all.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, Xia's army made no progress except for three or four thousand more casualties!

All the generals couldn't help feeling that the Jianzhou Pass was so dangerous that it was almost impossible to conquer it with manpower.

Qiu Tianlu's face was still indifferent, seeing the dejected expression of the generals around him, he suddenly let out a faint laugh, making all the generals focus on Qiu Tianlu.

Qiu Tianlu stopped laughing, pointed at the Jianzhou Pass ahead, and said confidently:
"Above Jianzhou Pass, there are tens of thousands of arrows shot in one day and one night. With such a serious consumption, I am afraid that the arrows hoarded in Jianzhou Pass are almost exhausted! You see, compared Yesterday, the number of arrows shot today has been reduced by more than [-]%."

He had just finished speaking, and there was another sound of bowstrings ringing at Jianzhou Pass in the distance.

The generals hurriedly followed the prestige, and were surprised to find that the arrows shot by Yun Jun were indeed much sparser than before!

The generals, who were originally depressed, were shocked at this moment. Driven by the motivation to make contributions, all the generals changed their previous attitude and came out together, clasping their hands and saying:

"Marshal, it's a good time, the last general requests to play!"

"The last general is also willing to be a pioneer!"

"At the end, the troops and horses of the headquarters have been repaired, please order to fight, and vow to win Jianzhou Pass!"

Qiu Tianlu waved his hand and refused:
"The army attacked violently, and the casualties were too heavy..."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the people in the vertical and horizontal gates, and said with deep meaning:
"Everyone in the Zonghengmen, do you think this is a good time?"

Previously, Qiu Tianlu had made his presence felt in public, and now that Jianzhou closed the Yunjun army, the arrows were exhausted, and it was indeed the right time, so the members of the Zonghengmen didn't have the confidence to object at all, they just bowed their heads in response;

"Follow General Zuo's orders!"

The coldness in Qiu Tianlu's eyes dissipated a little, and he immediately shouted:

"Okay, since that's the case, my army will attack and cover, everyone, please go to Jianzhou Pass first..."

The voice hadn't finished yet, but at this moment, there was a rush of reporting from the side.

Tan Ma came galloping, flew off the horse, and said eagerly:
"Report to Commander! Most of the Yun army came from Longnan, Xiangzhou, broke through our Jinniu Dao camp, and marched into Guangyuan Mansion! The situation is critical, please handle it with Commander!"

　Yesterday, my family was forcing me to go on a blind date again. I disagreed, and even posted a video to criticize me late at night. I didn’t have time to write and I was in a bad mood. I forgot to ask for leave. I’m sorry.

　　Eight thousand words today, and I lost it...
