"Has there been any progress in the siege these days?"

"The soldiers at the front are fighting very hard, with hundreds of casualties every day, but so far the army has made little achievements."

…

In the Yan Army camp outside Tianlang Pass, Tuoba Hong and Tu Shanlin were discussing the progress of the battle on the front line, with a trace of sadness between their eyebrows.

Tuoba Hong had 80,000 troops under his command. The two-month fierce attack since arriving outside Tianlang Pass still made no progress. Moreover, he suffered a huge defeat outside Wuguan Pass, which was a blow to his own morale.

And this is not the first time Tuoba Hong has come outside Tianlang Pass. Almost ten years ago, he stormed Tianlang Pass when he led the army alone, but he also launched a siege when most of Youzhou's elite were wiped out.

But the defeated soldiers at Tianlang Pass managed to hold on to the city, even though a large number of Yan Rong's soldiers died, but they were unable to take down Tianlang Pass in the end.

However, the heavy cavalry that appeared outside Wuguan did not make Tuoba Hong want to retreat. You, Beiliang, can't afford two heavy cavalry, right? If there were two heavy cavalry, the Liang army would not have been huddled in the city.

Inside.

Tu Danlin held his chin with one hand and leaned on the chair with a rather depressed expression.

When they set off from the grassland, the total number of soldiers and horses sent by the Tushan family and those sent by the small tribes attached to their family was 20,000. When Mu Yunduankang divided the troops, he divided the 20,000 people into two.

Wan followed Tu Danlin to Tianlang Pass, while the other ten thousand stayed at Wuguan.

There is no doubt that this is Mu Yunduankang's disguised method of consuming his own strength. The ten thousand people left in Wuguan may have been used as cannon fodder in the siege.

But he was the leading coach, and Tu Shanlin had no choice but to gnash his teeth with hatred in his heart.

The only thing that made Tu Shanlin feel better was that Tuoba Hong was fairly fair and generally did not get involved in disputes over the reserve, so he was not forced to take Tu Shan's family's money during the attack on Tianlang Pass.

Private soldiers went to attack the city.

"Your Majesty, the war there is not going well, and the Liaodong direction has also fallen into a fierce battle. Looking at the battle situation, only our battlefield at Tianlang Pass has the possibility to break the deadlock in a short time." Tuoba Hong murmured quietly while looking at the map in front of him.

:

"I need a victory to boost the morale of my army when I go on an expedition~"

Tu Danlin frowned and asked, "What do you mean, general?"

Tuoba Hong pointed to the location of Tianlang Pass and said: "Starting tomorrow, double the manpower to attack the north, east and west walls of Tianlang Pass at the same time. Tell the soldiers in front that the first one to climb the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels. If you are afraid,

Kill the warrior!"

"Is there a brave man who will be rewarded with a big reward?" Tu Danlin narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

…

The next day, the Yan army's siege army doubled its manpower than usual, and simultaneously launched a fierce attack on the three city gates of Tianlang Pass.

In fact, Tuoba Hong really wanted to surround the entire Tianlang Pass, but due to the fierceness of the Beiliang cavalry, if they were attacked in the back, they would suffer heavy losses.

"Bang bang bang!"

The huge catapult threw the huge stone dug out of the mountain by the Yan army, and it fell on the top of the Tianlang Pass city with the power of destroying the world.

The Liang army's arrows on the top of the city were also as dense as rain, and the arrows fired from the huge crossbows were enough to pierce the chests of two or three soldiers one after another. This was also one of the most feared weapons of the Yan army's infantry.

Under the temptation of a thousand taels of bounty, countless Yan troops rushed towards the city wall of Tianlang Pass and climbed up the mountain along the ladder.

One thousand taels of gold, that is money they will never earn in a few lifetimes!

Originally, there was a defensive trench outside Tianlang Pass, but after two months of battle, the trench had long been filled with the corpses and sandbags of the Yan army, and the scene was extremely tragic.

"Kill! Give it to me!"

"Brothers, the general has ordered that the first person to reach the city will be rewarded a thousand taels. With this money, you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life. What are you waiting for?"

"kill!"

The sound of shouts and shouts filled the battlefield, and countless low-level centurions were urging the soldiers to attack the city. Although death was very close, promotion and wealth were just around the corner. After a while, many more corpses appeared at the foot of the city.

Behind the siege army, Tu Shanlin personally came to the front line to inspect the battle situation. Behind him were two hundred strong soldiers holding tiger-tooth swords, all with their backs and waists, and their bare upper bodies.

This is the team supervising the siege. As long as anyone retreats without obeying military orders, regardless of their official position, they can kill them on the spot.

For so long, several captains have died under their swords, and their heads hang outside the camp gate.

Cao Wenzhao's figure appeared in a turret on the north city wall. It was a three-story turret. The bottom two floors were continuously shot with crossbows, while the top floor could be used to observe the situation of the entire battlefield.

"Wen Zhao, how is the situation?"

An old voice came into the turret, and Cao Wenzhao immediately turned his head and said: "Hey, General Liang, why did you come to the top of the city? How dangerous it is! Go back quickly, I'm watching over the top of the city, don't worry."

"It's harmful." Liang Suichao waved his hand indifferently: "Although I am a bad old man now, I touched every brick and tile in Tianlang Pass back then. The bow and arrow flew towards me against my scalp.

And I will never blink an eye."

For generals like Liang Suichao who were born in Youzhou, Tianlang Pass is an unforgettable place for them.

"Okay, okay, you have to take a look today, and you are not allowed to come up casually in the future, otherwise the general will go to the prince to complain." Cao Wenzhao pretended to be serious and helped Liang Suichao to the window of the turret.

This is not just nonsense spoken by Cao Wenzhao, but Chen Yue personally told him before he was transferred to the post of guard general of Tianlang Pass that he must protect the safety of General Liang.

Among the several veteran generals in Youzhou's army, some died in battle and some retreated. Only Liang Suichao, who was over sixty years old, remained on the front line. Chen Yue did not want any more accidents to happen to this veteran general.

"Ai, it's true. Didn't you come from the Xianden camp? Why are you chirping?" Liang Suichao's snow-white beard kept trembling.

"Hey, I am me, and the general is a general. You can't get to the top of the city anyway." Cao Wenzhao laughed.

Liang Suichao lay by the window and watched for a long time: "It looks like Yan Jun is trying his best~"

"That's right."

Cao Wenzhao nodded: "General, look, there are twice as many infantry attacking the city today than in the past. They are all screaming, and their morale has increased greatly. I have also seen the battles on the east and west sides, and they are all like this."

"Humph, I have suffered a defeat, now I know I am anxious." Liang Suichao sneered.

"Hit me, we will accompany him for another year." Cao Wenzhao said with a cold face.

Liang Suichao turned around and asked, "Have you finished everything?"
