Zhang Huai beheaded Meng Shuang, which shocked all the Huan generals who were watching the battle behind him. Xiong Fei also widened his eyes and subconsciously clenched his fists, wanting to go to the battlefield to fight Zhang Huai in person. The latest from the Holy Church
chapter
At this time, another Huan general roared suddenly, rushed out of the battle first, galloped to the battlefield on horseback, and fought with Zhang Huai.
This general Huan's force was not weak, but it was not much stronger than Meng Shuang. He and Zhang Huai had already fought hard for twenty rounds. He rolled his eyes, feinted with his sword, and then turned his horse's head.
, defeated by this formation.
Zhang Huai was getting excited, but he was not willing to let him go, so he urged his horse to give chase.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, General Huan secretly rejoiced. He hung up the long knife in his hand, quickly took off his bow and arrows, and without any warning, turned around and shot three spirit arrows at Zhang Huai who was chasing him.
arrow.
These three spiritual arrows were fast and sudden. Zhang Huai was inexperienced and did not take precautions. He instinctively screamed and hurriedly blocked with his sword.
With two clanging sounds, Zhang Huai shot two spiritual arrows, but the last one could not be deflected and hit him right in the face.
Hearing a click, Zhang Huai fell down, flipped off his horse and fell to the ground, unable to move.
When General Huan saw this, he couldn't help but laugh, reined in the reins of his horse, and then turned the horse back. He put down his bow and arrow and picked up his spiritual sword again. He sneered and said: "No matter how strong your spiritual power is, you are not a general."
rival!"
While he was talking, he came to Zhang Huai who was lying on the ground. He raised his spiritual knife and tried to chop it down. But at this moment, Zhang Huai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and the spiritual knife in his hand was released.
Then it flew straight towards General Huan's chest.
Pfft! A knife that was beyond everyone's expectations. General Huan didn't even have time to react. He was hit in the chest by the flying knife. The blade penetrated his chest and came out from his back. ("")
General Huan opened his eyes in disbelief. Only now did he see clearly that the spiritual armor on Zhang Huai's face was broken, but the arrow was held in his mouth. It turned out that although his last arrow hit Zhang Huai,
But he bit her hard.
The body of the horse swayed a few times, and the general Huan rolled sideways off the horse, his limbs twitched a few times, and then became silent. Zhang Huai turned his head and spat out the arrow in his mouth, walked to the corpse on the ground, and threw himself
He pulled out the steel sword fiercely, then, he got back on his horse, looked around the Huan Army camp opposite with the steel sword, and shouted loudly: "Who is not afraid of death and dares to come out and fight next?"
Zhang Huai killed two Huan generals in a row, which was a shocking feat. It also made all the Huan soldiers and generals on the opposite side feel their hearts tremble, and chills ran down their spines. People looked at each other in disbelief, and no one dared to rush into battle anymore.
Xiong Fei was furious, screamed strangely, and made another move. However, Xiong Yi held his brother tightly, shook his head slightly at him, and advised in a low voice: "Brother, why bother with this thief? Our army should attack the city immediately.
, capture Xixiao Pass first and then talk!"
Xiong Yi's Lingwu is not very good, but he is well-informed. The Anjiang opposite him has a strong Lingwu and has a tendency to become braver as he fights. He does not think that his eldest brother can win easily in the past. What if?
If there is a loss, the hand of that general will be injured. Not only will it greatly lose face, but it will also affect one's own siege battle, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Xiong Fei knew that his brother had always been smarter than him, so he had always followed Xiong Yiyan's advice.
Hearing what his brother said at this time, Xiong Fei was unwilling to accept it, but he still endured it. He snorted, cheered up, and said to the generals around him: "Send my order to the whole army to attack the city and capture it for me."
Xixiaoguan!"
Under Xiong Fei's order, the former soldiers of the Huan Army pushed forward in a fish-scale formation and launched a strong attack on Xixiao Pass.
Since Xixiao Pass is the last pass, the defenders inside the pass will inevitably resist desperately. Brothers Xiong Fei and Xiong Yi both expected that this battle would be more difficult than the previous two passes. However, they did not expect that the defense of Xixiao Pass was stronger than the two of them.
It was a thousand times stronger than expected. (《》)
As the Huan army camp entered a hundred steps in front of the pass, the defenders at the top of the city began to shoot arrow formations.
At that moment, it was as if a dark cloud had risen above the city of Xixiaoguan, and dense arrows flew into the air, blocking out the sky and making the people below feel as if the sky had suddenly turned dark.
Ding, clang, clang! Arrows fell like raindrops into the Huan army's camp, hitting the shields held up by the people, making a crackling sound. Many arrows passed through the gaps in the shields, injuring the Huan soldiers below.
Within the military camp, people screamed and fell to the ground from time to time. But once the person fell, his companions around him had no chance to rescue him. The injured person's body was immediately covered by arrow rain, as if a layer of black had grown on his body.
Grassy.
This is just the first round of arrow formation, and then comes the second round, and the third round... The arrows fired from Xixiao Pass seem to be endless. Even though the advancing Huan army has set up a tight shield formation, there are still
The soldiers fell in groups under the arrows.
The faces of Xiong Fei and Xiong Yi, who were commanding from the rear, changed greatly. The two brothers had fought dozens of battles with the An army, but they had never seen the An army's arrow array so powerful. It was so dense and terrifying that it continued.
One wave after another, it was like a rain of arrows was falling from the sky.
"How come the An army in Xixiao Pass is so powerful? Our soldiers even have difficulty advancing to the front of the pass!" Xiong Fei frowned, and the reins in his palms made a clanking sound.
Xiong Yi also had a solemn look on his face. He stared at the defenders on the opposite side of the city and murmured: "Brother, I suddenly feel that the defenders guarding Xixiao Pass are not like An Army, but Feng Army! Such a terrifying arrow formation
, we have only seen it when fighting with the Feng Army..."
Hearing this, Xiong Fei took a breath. Feng Jun? He said in shock: "Brother, do you think Feng Jun is at Xixiao Pass? That's impossible! Feng Jun is obviously following us, how could he suddenly run away?
Are you in front of us and stationed at Xixiao Pass?"
"Yes! I also hope this is impossible!" Xiong Yi sighed secretly, but looking at the arrow formation at Xixiao Pass made him have such doubts.
Huan's army could no longer advance thirty steps ahead of Xixiao Pass. Once here, the defenders' arrow formations became more ferocious and fierce. Even the soldiers holding shields were often overwhelmed.
The incoming arrow array crushed him to the ground.
As the casualties continued to increase, the Huan army in front began to feel timid, and the people retreated involuntarily.
They did not get close to the enemy city, but were pushed back halfway. This situation had never happened in the Huan Army's previous battles.
Xiong Fei was furious when he saw this, and immediately sent out all the personal guards around him and asked them to supervise the battle on the battlefield. Those soldiers who retreated or were afraid to move forward could be punished on the spot.
Under his high pressure, the timid soldiers of the Huan Army could only bite the bullet and press forward with gritted teeth. At this time, they had to pay a huge price every time they pushed forward, sacrificing the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
life.
The battle had lasted for more than an hour, and the Huan army officers and soldiers barely advanced to the gates of Xixiao Pass. Next, people set up ladders and started a close-range hand-to-hand battle at Xixiao Pass.
Without the remote assistance of trebuchets, or the help of large weapons such as archery towers and ramming vehicles, the Huan army officers relied purely on manpower to attack. Of course, if the defenders were not very motivated, their attack might still be able to frighten the opponent.
Yes, but if the defenders were a strong and brave army, such an attack would undoubtedly be suicide.
Xiong Yi's guess was correct. Among the defenders guarding Xixiao Pass at this time, in addition to a large number of An troops, there were also Pingyuan troops who had been waiting here for a long time.
Before the Huan Army marched towards Kongsang Mountain, the Pingyuan Army had quietly moved here and consolidated the city defenses in Xixiao Pass, hoarding supplies, grain and grass, in order to fight a protracted and difficult battle with the Huan Army here.
The Huan Army did not have any large-scale siege weapons and relied solely on manpower to attack. In the eyes of the Pingyuan Army, this was a stupid thing to do. Not to mention that the Huan Army did not have many troops to attack now. Even if it were ten times more, they would
We are not afraid, and we are still confident that we can keep the enemy at bay.
When Huan Jun was climbing up the ladder, the rolling logs and rocks above his head were as numerous as hailstones, and they fell down like hailstones. There were also countless arrows among them. A group of Huan's soldiers climbed up and were beaten down.
A group of corpses of Huan Jun soldiers were already piled under the city wall.
The battle between the two sides lasted from noon to evening. Not only did the Huan army fail to take the first step to Xixiaoguan City, but they suffered heavy casualties. In the end, Xiong Fei and Xiong Yi had to pay gold and withdraw their troops.
After a fierce battle, they achieved nothing and lost more than 20,000 soldiers. When Xiong Fei and Xiong Yi saw Lu Chen, Jin Sheng and Jiang Yang, they couldn't even raise their heads.
After all, the Xiong brothers were his subordinates. Lu Chen didn't want to be too defensive, so he reprimanded the two in public. Then he made a plan with Jin Sheng and Jiang Yang and decided to wait until dawn tomorrow and let his main army attack
Xixiao Pass is the last obstacle for them to return to their homeland. Even if they use a large number of people, they must defeat Xixiao Pass.
The next day, the siege battle, personally commanded by the three commanders Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, and Jiang Yang, began. The strong attack of 600,000 troops made it impossible to see anything else except the Huan Army outside Xixiao Pass.
Looking around, everywhere you look, you can see the troops and horses of the Huan Army, overwhelming and boundless. They haven't even started to attack yet. This terrifying momentum alone is enough to make any opponent heartbroken.
The An army in Xixiao Pass turned pale with fear and their legs were shaking. If it were not for the Pingyuan Army, they would have surrendered long ago.
The An army was fighting timidly, and the soldiers of the Pingyuan army were also very nervous. Facing so many enemies, it would be a lie to say that they were not afraid. However, the fundamental difference between the Feng army and the An army was that the latter faced a strong enemy.
When facing an enemy, they often become chaotic without fighting, while the former can be stimulated to have stronger fighting power in front of a strong enemy.
