Crouching Tiger Pass is in a dangerous place, it is easy to set up defenses and easy to defend but difficult to attack. When the Feng Kingdom army rushed to Crouching Tiger Pass and moved forward, all the soldiers of the Feng Army took a breath of cold air.
This pass is originally located on high ground, and the city wall has been raised to about three feet and three feet. It is also sandwiched by mountain streams on both sides. If you want to attack, you have no choice but to break through from the front. However, if you attack from one side, you have to break through so much.
Building a high city wall is easier said than done.
Even Shangguan Yuanrang frowned after seeing it, shook his head and muttered: "This is simply Xiaotongmen!"
After waiting and watching, the generals returned to the temporary camp in silence, gathered together to discuss, and decided to set up camp first. This battle will be a tough battle, and I don't know how long it will last. So I will set up camp first.
A stable camp is still necessary.
The generals had just finished their discussion and before they dispersed, Tang Yin arrived.
He first looked around at the generals, and then asked: "What do you generals think of this battle?"
Everyone looked at each other, but it was Nanye who spoke first: "Crouching Pass is extremely severe, and the city defenses are high and solid. Defeating Crouching Pass will probably be even more difficult than defeating Ningyang!"
"Yes!" All the generals nodded, indicating that Nanye was right.
Ziying continued: "Fortunately, the Ning army does not have many troops, only more than 30,000 people at best. If our army continues to attack fiercely for three days, it will not be a problem to seize Crouching Pass."
Tang Yin smiled slightly, stretched out three fingers, and said: "Three days? I don't think so!"
Ziying asked: "Does the king think it will take longer?"
Tang Yin shook his head and said confidently: "We will capture Crouching Tiger Pass within three hours."
Ah? After hearing this, everyone present was a little stunned. Even if it is to defeat an ordinary city, three hours may not be enough. It takes three hours to defeat a level with steep terrain and strong city defense. How is that possible?
Even Xia Yufu, who came with Tang Yin, secretly shook her head, feeling that Tang Yin didn't know how high the sky was.
Tang Yin understood what everyone was thinking, took a breath, waved his hand and said: "Make a sand table!"
Feng Jun didn't even set up camp, so he naturally didn't prepare a sand table. The guardsmen could only temporarily find some stones and soil to make a simple model of Crouching Tiger Pass.
Seeing the guards rushing in and out, Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth and said quietly: "Lin Han wants to defend Crouching Tiger Pass. He is extremely stupid. This is not a natural danger, but a place of death!"
People looked at each other and didn't understand why Tang Yin said this, but no one dared to ask, so Tang Yin could only answer their questions.
After the simple sand table layout was completed, Tang Yin raised his head and said: "Nanye, Li Sheng, this battle will be left to your new army. I will wait behind to hold the battle for you two."
flutter!
Nanye and Li Sheng almost vomited blood and asked the new army to attack Crouching Pass. The king must have thought too highly of the new army. He was afraid that if Crouching Pass could not be defeated, the new army would be completely annihilated.
Seeing that the two of them had ugly expressions and lowered their heads without speaking, Tang Yin looked up and laughed and said: "As long as you two follow my method, three hours will be enough to break through Crouching Tiger Pass."
"Oh?" Nan Ye and Li Sheng were shocked and asked hurriedly: "What does the king mean..."
Tang Yin walked to the sand table, lowered his head and looked briefly, then squatted down, picked up a stone, slapped it on the left side of Crouching Pass, and said: "I will collect all the trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows of the entire army."
Allocate to your new army, Nanye, lead half of the new army to attack from the left. When you are about one mile away from Crouching Pass, stop moving forward. At this time, you only need to throw stones and fire crossbows.
That’s it, just emit as much as you need, just light them all within three hours.”
While talking, he picked up another stone, slapped it on the right side of Crouching Pass, and said: "Li Sheng, you lead the other half of the new army to attack the right side. Like the left side, it is also within one mile of Crouching Pass.
Stop outside and polish off all the stones and crossbow arrows for me!"
Nan Ye and Li Sheng looked at each other, swallowed their saliva in unison, and asked, "Your Majesty, you want us to knock down the wall of Crouching Pass?"
Before Tang Yin could speak, Xia Yufu on the side sneered and said sarcastically: "It's not easy to knock down the reinforced city wall. Even if you have twice as many trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"
This is the truth, but hearing the tone of her sarcastic remarks to Feng, all the generals in the Feng Army couldn't help but feel angry, and they all cast dissatisfied glances at Xia Yufu.
Tang Yin didn't care at all, instead he snapped his fingers and praised: "Miss Yufu is right, smashing the city wall is useless, so the target of the trebuchet is not the city wall of Crouching Pass."
"Where is that?" Everyone asked in surprise, including Xia Yufu.
Tang Yin pointed to the stones on both sides of Crouching Pass and said with a smile: "The target is the cliffs on the left and right sides of Crouching Pass. As early as when our army was still in Hexi, Cheng Jin and I came to Crouching Pass.
At that time, I discovered that the rocks on both sides of Wohu Pass were soft and not strong. What would happen if our army smashed all the rocks and crossbow arrows on the mountain walls?"
"Triggering a landslide?!" Qiu Zhen blurted out subconsciously.
"That's right! The weapons of our army cannot destroy the city wall of Crouching Pass, but the huge rocks falling from the landslide can smash the city wall of Crouching Pass to the ground." Tang Yin said with a smile: "So, Lin Han thought that Crouching Pass was flat."
Huguan is a dangerous place, but in fact, he is seeking his own death!"
So that's it! Now everyone understood what Tang Yin meant, and they all raised their thumbs up in their hearts, sincerely praising Tang Yin's agility and ability to respond to changes.
It was only then that Cheng Jin figured out why Tang Yin had to go through the woods and walk down the mountain when he and Tang Yin passed Crouching Pass. It turned out that the king had already been looking for a way to defeat the enemy at that time.
Cheng Jin couldn't help but look at Tang Yin a few more times. Although he was a close minister of Tang Yin and often worked around him, many times he couldn't fully understand Tang Yin. He was sometimes promiscuous and acted out of loyalty, regardless of the consequences.
, but sometimes he is deep, thoughtful, and thoughtful. In short, Tang Yin is a person who is difficult to figure out.
Qiu Zhen came to his senses first, raised his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Shengming!"
The other generals also came to their senses one after another, cupped their hands and said in unison: "Your Majesty, Shengming——"
Tang Yin looked up and laughed silently. At the same time, he glanced at Xia Yufu beside him. Seeing her looking at him blankly, he leaned slightly towards her and whispered: "I know you are very fond of me."
Those who care about me, what you just said makes sense."
Xia Yufu woke up suddenly, her face turned slightly red, and she sneered: "Damn you..."
If someone suddenly says something irrelevant to you, you may ignore it and laugh it off, but if this person repeats this nonsense in your ear every day, over time, the words will seem to become irrelevant.
So irrelevant. This is the horror of habit.
Tang Yin and Xia Yufu are like this now. Whenever the two of them meet together, Tang Yin will remind her, directly or indirectly, like a magic spell, that she cares about him. Because she heard too much, in the end even Xia Yufu
Fudu was not sure whether she really cared about him as Tang Yin said deep down in her heart.
Habits are terrible. Once formed, they will become accustomed to it. However, the prerequisite is that the person who instills the habit must have a thick face and have the spirit of perseverance and courage. Tang Yin undoubtedly has this, and he also has full patience.
According to Tang Yin's tactics, after the Feng army arrived at Crouching Pass, they launched a fierce attack on Crouching Pass without even setting up camp or even resting.
Now, there are about 60,000 new troops in the new army. Nanye and Li Sheng each have 30,000 troops, and they are divided into left and right groups to attack Wohu Pass.
The defenders at Wohu Pass had already prepared for the battle. All the soldiers had their swords unsheathed, arrows unstrung, and rolling logs and rocks piled all over the city, just waiting for Lin Han's order to attack.
By the time the new army arrived about a mile away from Wohu Pass, they had already entered the firing range of the Ning army. The reason why Lin Han did not order the release of arrows was because he wanted to save arrows and wait for the Feng army to get closer. However,
To the great surprise of him and his soldiers, the Feng Army stopped advancing when they arrived here. They pushed out the trebuchets and crossbow beds in the army and arranged them in several long rows. It seemed that the Feng Army wanted to use them.
Large siege weapons perform close range attacks.
Lin Han sneered in his heart and immediately issued an order for the entire army to prepare rockets and use them to burn the opponent's siege equipment.
Before they were ready, the Feng Army's attack began.
Trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows were launched in unison, aiming not at the city walls of Crouching Tiger Pass, but at the cliffs on both sides of the pass.
Feng Jun suddenly chose to smash the cliff, and Lin Han was also shocked. He couldn't figure out what Feng Jun was doing and what tricks he was playing.
I saw countless iron-wrapped wooden stakes flying out and nailed to the cliff. The crunching sound was endless, and the cliff was penetrated with thousands of holes. The rocks that followed hit the cliff with a rumble.
The loud noise was deafening, and the entire mountain peak seemed to be shaking. Even the defenders in Crouching Pass felt as if the earth was shaking.
The Ning army's officers and men all widened their eyes and forgot to release arrows for a while, watching the wind army attack the cliff as if watching the excitement.
Lin Han looked at it for a while, his heart suddenly moved, and he screamed inwardly. Feng Jun's attack on the cliff was not because he suddenly went crazy, but to trigger a landslide and let the rocks fall from the mountain to flatten Crouching Tiger Pass. Think about this clearly,
Lin Han subconsciously shuddered and shouted at the generals on the left and right: "Don't be stunned. Quickly launch rockets to burn the enemy's equipment!"
"Sir, since the Feng Army thinks it is interesting to attack the cliff, let them fight. Anyway, they are the ones who will be consumed, not our army..." A Ning general said leisurely with a smile before he understood the situation.
Lin Han's face flushed with anger, he raised his sword and struck the Ning general on the cheek with the scabbard. At the same time, he roared: "Can't you see? The Feng Army is going to cause a landslide and will not destroy the opponent until it is destroyed."
The siege equipment, Crouching Tiger Pass is in danger!"
