Chapter 596 surprise attack on the hump mountain pass
The city wall at Camelback Mountain Pass has four levels. One level is wider than the other from top to bottom. There are stairs on the back to go up to the highest level first, and on the front there are steps from the highest level down to the bottom. Therefore, when the troops retreat, they climb to the highest level first.
level, and then return to the interior of the pass from the stairs.?

There are hidden soldier caves on each floor, which are used to avoid enemy bows, catapults, magic and other long-range attacks. There is only a narrow trail as you climb up, and you are easily attacked by the hidden soldier caves on both sides.
Two hanging baskets were placed on the city wall. Each hanging basket could hold ten fully armed soldiers, and the scouts were pulled up to the city wall in batches.
The scout captain took the initiative to find the city guard officer and asked about the situation at the western pass.
The officer asked the scout captain to listen carefully, "Listen, the enemy has begun to attack. There are probably tens of thousands of Shaodian troops marching to the foot of Tuofeng Mountain. If the Juyang City Camp does not send reinforcements, we may not be able to survive tomorrow morning."
Before the officer took the initiative to ask, the scout leader said: "I have long heard that there is a safe passage in the Everglades that can bypass Camelback Mountain. It turns out to be true. More than ten miles away from here, we saw thousands of people wearing clothes.
Troops in khaki military uniforms have blocked our way back to the camp. It is estimated that they will attack here soon."
"Then I'll have someone take you to the Eagle Room and send the news back to the camp as soon as possible."
"Wait a minute, my subordinates have already written the cipher text. Let's wait for him to come up and deliver the message."
The scout captain stopped the city guard officer, seemingly not wanting to leave the wall.
The scout team had exactly 200 people, and it would take ten trips with two hanging baskets to hoist all the people up. In order to speed up the progress, the officer simply asked soldiers from two squadrons to pull the hanging basket, for fear that if it was too late, some Shaodian troops would come over and cause casualties to friendly forces.
Among the last batch of scouts who came up, two were unusually tall. The city guarding officer did not remember that there were such people in the Third Army, and he was suspicious at the moment.
"Didn't your scout team be led by Captain Shan before? When was it replaced by yours?" the officer asked.
Ding Kui, pretending to be the scout captain, rolled his eyes, laughed loudly, and said: "That's right, I haven't been the scout captain of the Meng army for a long time, less than a morning. Let's do it!"
Before he finished speaking, the "splitting wind cone" in his hand was already pointed at the throat of the city guarding officer.
Ao Yu, Feng Liang, Ji Xing, Peng Shuo, Bai Qian, Li Hao, etc. all drew their weapons and attacked the Meng army beside them.
Xue Sheng and Jiang Jiao led others to grab the ropes of the hanging baskets and continued to pull the two half-stretched hanging baskets up the city wall.
Bang, a magic light bullet shot high into the sky.
A red-bearded man took off his clothes and armor as he flew up, threw them to the ground one by one, then quickly put on a white magician's robe, conjured a magic wand out of thin air, and stopped proudly in mid-air.
Only then did the defenders at the east gate of Camelback Mountain Pass realize that the strange group of scouts turned out to be enemy troops coming for a sneak attack.
Ding Kui acted viciously and specially selected officers to kill. Wherever he rushed with his dark red fighting spirit armor, a pile of corpses would fall there. After more than ten breaths, he rushed to the highest level, and a spear gleam fell.
The life of the deputy commander of Dongmen.
The chief and deputy commanders were all killed, and the defenders at the pass were immediately thrown into chaos.
Of the five hundred people in the city who were originally attacked, more than a hundred fell in the first round of sneak attacks, including five officers wearing the squadron leader's armor. The remaining three hundred or so people formed a squad and launched a counterattack under the command of the squad leader.
"Feng Liang led people down to open the gate, Long Tan led people to lower the suspension bridge, 'Ding Kui Squadron' guard the top floor for me, don't let any Meng soldiers escape." Ding Kui began to look for the squad leader to kill.
Mingtang casually put magic shields on the special forces members who were in danger, but he never cast any magic on Meng Jun.
The Meng army sent magicians to defend the pass, but they were all attracted to the west, thinking that there was a vacuum of magic power in the east behind.
There are two city walls at each of the east and west passes of Tuofeng Mountain, but the second city wall is only one floor and cannot accommodate too many defenders.
The Meng army who arrived at the city wall for the second time found that the first wall was attacked by enemy troops, and immediately organized troops to rush over to support.
"Ding Yu! Kill all those officials." Ding Kui's pillar gun stood at the highest point, observing the situation inside the pass.
The three thousand troops who were ambushing outside the pass rushed onto the road and rushed towards the gate of the pass.
As soon as a squadron leader of the defenders came out of the second gate with 300 people, he saw that Feng Liang and dozens of people were preparing to open the gate. He did not bother to go to the first wall to rescue, and turned to stop Feng Liang and others.
But there was a flash of blue light, and a big hole exploded in the squadron leader's forehead. His subordinates didn't even see clearly what penetrated their superior's head.
Long Tan led fifty shield-breaking knights and killed the defenders before they destroyed the winch of the suspension bridge. With a wave of swords and spears and another charge, a squadron of defenders was wiped out.
"Be careful, don't break the winch. The suspension bridge in this direction is still useful." Long Tan told the group of shield-breaking knights transferred from the 2o6 Division to slowly lower the suspension bridge.
After capturing the pass, it is necessary to hold on for a while to prevent the Mongolian army from counterattacking in Juyang City.
The two hundred people who attacked the west gate of Tuofeng Mountain Pass were the best of the two thousand elites. Not counting the sixth-level magician in the sky who only defended but did not attack, there was also a great martial artist and a fearless knight. Such a lineup was not something that the Meng defenders could do.
Resistant.
The 500 Meng troops at the first wall were wiped out before Shaodian's reinforcements arrived. The 300 men who rushed out from the second wall fought with Feng Liang and others on the passage. The reason why they did not retreat was because
The second door has been closed.
By the time Ding Kui led the "Ding Kui Squadron" to kill them, there were less than a hundred Meng troops fighting in the passage.
"For the sake of the country of Meng, kill!" A squad leader of the Meng Army brandished a mace and rushed towards Ding Kui. Before he could take two steps, three sharp arrows flew in and hit him in the thigh, followed by a gunshot.
Blow his brains out.
"The trapped beasts are still fighting, kill them all! We don't have any extra food to feed the prisoners." Ding Kui lowered the tip of his spear, charged hard with the soles of his feet, and killed another Meng Army squad leader with one thrust.
This is a new technique he learned from the "Qingxing Diamond". Although it cannot be compared with the charging technique, it still has a good killing efficiency.
Creak, creak, creak, the east gate of the pass slowly opened, and the reinforcements rushing at the front had stepped onto the suspension bridge.
"Ding Yu," Ding Kui pointed to the second city wall, "Pull me up. The archers suppress the top of the wall, and the others wait for me to throw the rope ladder down."
Ao Yu grabbed Ding Kui's arm and jumped into the air, flying straight to the wall.
"Great martial artist!" Meng Jun shouted in horror. Only then did they discern Ao Yu's true strength.
Ao Yu, who was fighting with the soldiers, didn't use all his strength at all, and Meng Jun didn't see clearly the mini green dragon he shot, but as soon as it flew up, his level 6 combat power was revealed.
The Meng Army didn't even have anyone with level five combat power, so they easily let Ding Kui and Ao Yu fly up the wall. Ding Kui also had a flame shield on his body, which completely destroyed the morale of the Meng Army.
Ding Kui caught the rope ladder thrown from the air, fixed it on the crenel and threw it down the city wall. When he looked back, he found that half of the Meng troops on the second wall had escaped.
Unable to fight, unable to block, anyone who encounters such an opponent will lose their fighting spirit. The Meng soldiers who are still on the city wall are not particularly courageous, but the stairs are full and they cannot squeeze in.
The battle on the west side of Tuofeng Mountain also began to become fierce. No Meng army dared to get out of the Tibetan Soldier Cave at the western pass under the long-range attack of Shaodian Army.
The commander of the Meng army was also hiding in the cave with ten magicians hiding behind him.
Don't dare to confront them head-on. The enemy's magicians are at least ten times more powerful than them. If you go out, you will definitely be blown up by the volley.
The defenders of the northern and southern military strongholds finally lost their composure, opened the gates of the strongholds, and rushed out with death squads, intending to attack the 2o7 Division from two flanks.
The Shaodian Army who attacked the military stronghold from both sides each separated a group of troops and chased behind the Meng Army's death squad. As long as the Meng Army dared to rush down the mountain, they would cover them from behind and attack from both sides.
The commander of the pass saw the situation in the military strongholds on both sides from the lookout, and immediately ordered: "Sign up the flag and tell the northern and southern military strongholds that we have no losses. The enemy will not be able to break the city wall by long-range attacks without ascending to the city."
The Meng Army's suicide squad who had just reached the halfway point retreated again, and the encircling troops sent by the Shaodian Army also retreated to their own formation.
"Hey, you are quite calm. I wonder what he (the pass guard) would do if he saw an enemy coming from behind to kill him?" Liang Gong stood on the commander's platform to watch the battle and understood the flags on the pass.
As if hearing Liang Gong's soliloquy, the Meng army's messenger rushed into the pass's command cave with magic and arrows, "Something bad has happened. There is a group of enemy troops pretending to be our scouts and sneaking into the east pass."
, the first wall when my subordinates come over..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the sword commanded by the pass command pierced the orderer's throat.
"The captain of the third battalion is at the east pass. There won't be any problems in a short time. You shouldn't lie about military information to frame the commander. Captain Qian, take two squadrons to the second wall and pass on my order. No one can
You can't go in or out there, and anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot." The pass commander looked livid.
It's not that he doesn't believe in the messengers, but he's afraid that the news will spread. There are still two thousand fighting soldiers at the west pass. As long as his morale is lost at the east pass, he can still defend for a while, but if the news spreads at the west pass, he must
It will severely damage morale.
The second wall on the east side of the pass did not hold up for long. More than a hundred of the original two hundred defenders fled. Ding Kui and Ao Yu did not pursue the deserters. They worked together to open the second gate, and a steady stream of people poured into the pass.
Shaodianjun came in.
"Long Tan, lead the people to put out the smoke. The 2o1 division members follow me back to the first wall." Ding Kui once again gave up the credit.
Ao Yu followed Ding Kui angrily and said, "Why don't you fight? I haven't had enough of killing yet."
"Why are you so murderous?" Ming Tang flew to Ao Yu's head.
Ding Kui rolled his eyes at Ao Yu and quickly explained to Ming Tang: "He just broke through not long ago and needs more and more intense battles to stabilize his state. It's not that he likes killing people."
Ming Tang still wanted to say something, but his face suddenly changed, "Huh?" He looked towards the east sky.
There was a flash of white light, and a blurry figure appeared.
"Ding Yu, pay attention and cooperate with me to take action." Ming Tang's face was solemn.
