It was dark at night, and the entire Mianzhu Pass was completely shrouded in darkness. Only the firelight on the gate swaying with the howling wind could illuminate a corner of the darkness.
Pei Zilie's camp was set up at the foot of Luofeng Slope and could not be seen from Mianzhu Pass. All that could be seen was the boundless darkness.
This complete ignorance of the enemy made Zou Qiang feel helpless from the bottom of his heart. It was obvious that the number of troops under his command was not much less than that of Pei Zilie, and it was obvious that he was on top of Mianzhu Pass, a fortified city famous in the world.
As a support, Zou Qiang did not feel any sense of security in his heart.
The continuous dark mountains around him made him feel that the whole sky was much lower. The mountains and the sky were weighing on his heart, and in this night, this feeling of oppression was even heavier.
It has been two days since Pei Zilie came to Mianzhu Pass, but except for a tentative attack on the first day, there has been no movement. It seems that he does not intend to attack Guancheng. However, Pei Zilie unexpectedly attacked Luofengpo.
Taken it down.
Zou Qiang was also a little surprised by this. Luofengpo is located on the side of Mianzhu Pass. It is true that he is condescending, but Zou Qiang does not feel that controlling Luofengpo can control the situation of the entire Mianzhu Pass battlefield. After all, even if he sees Mianzhu
The deployment of defenses in Guancheng does not prevent Zou Qiang from relying on the city to defend it. Putting the real strength here, Pei Zilie cannot directly break into the city no matter how powerful he is.
As for Pei Zilie's attempt to guard Luofengpo, use Luofengpo to replace Mianzhu Pass, and attempt to establish a defense line at Luofengpo, Zou Qiang felt it was even more impossible.
Although Luofengpo is dangerous, it does not guard the main road. It is not necessary for the army to pass through Luofengpo when leaving Mianzhu Pass. Therefore, Pei Zilie's doing so will at most threaten the flanks of the Northern Zhou army.
Luofengpo is not considered steep, and even if Wei Shou wants to attack by force, it will not be impossible to capture it. In Zou Qiang's opinion, instead of guarding Luofengpo, it is better to establish a defense line along Luoshui and Guanghan.
However, since Pei Zilie occupied Luofengpo, he has not taken any action, which makes Zou Qiang believe in this view more and more. Otherwise, he would have no way to explain why Pei Zilie neither attacks nor retreats, and is just in a stalemate with himself.
It can't be said that Li Xingchen will appear behind Mianzhu Pass one day and attack Pei Zilie from both sides.
To believe such a thing, Zou Qiang would rather believe that Pei Zilie knew magic and could fall from the sky directly in front of him.
The wind became stronger and stronger, and a few lingering clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, revealing a bright moon. The bright moonlight shone on Guancheng, illuminating the road in front of Zou Qiang. Zou Qiang subconsciously turned to
Looking around, Cangshan is covered with moonlight, dragging out a long shadow, and this shadow still covers half of Guan City.
With a slight sigh, Zou Qiang could only lament whether he thought too much of Pei Zilie. With such a dangerous terrain and such a tall Guancheng, Pei Zilie might not have planned to attack it at all.
"Captain, the wind is quite strong, it's better to go back and rest." A patrol leader walked over quickly, happened to see Zou Qiang's figure, and hurriedly said with his hands.
Zou Qiang was startled for a moment, nodded slightly, and stretched out his hand to feel it.
The wind seems to be getting weaker and weaker, but at least it is blowing away the dark clouds in the sky, which is not a bad thing.
And just when Zou Qiang was about to turn around and leave, he heard the sudden sound of wind behind him. The whistling wind seemed to be stirring something. The other soldiers patrolling Guancheng also realized that something was wrong and subconsciously raised their heads.
Look.
Under the bright moonlight, Zou Qiang saw those huge shadows at a glance.
Zou Qiang's first reaction was that it was a bat. After all, there are such things in many caves in the Bashu Mountains. However, Zou Qiang felt that he was so big and had never heard of such a big bat.
However, before he could speak, the battle leader just now pointed at the huge object whose outline was gradually revealed in the moonlight and said: "It's a person, someone is hanging on it!"
Zou Qiang also noticed the clearly outlined outlines of people, and he almost subconsciously looked in the direction in which these behemoths were flying.
It is Luofengpo.
"Crossbowmen, enemy attack!" Zou Qiang's pupils suddenly shrank. He had already vaguely guessed the origins of these guys. He didn't have the mind to care about how the enemy appeared in the sky or how they really planned to fall from the sky. Now he needed to think about it.
The best thing is not to let them fall to the ground!
However, it was obvious that Zou Qiang's shout did not elicit a response from the soldiers. Seeing these figures gradually covering the moon and getting closer and closer to them, every soldier subconsciously opened his mouth. Even the battle leader just now opened his mouth.
A look of horror on his face.
"Tengu, the tengu that can eat the moon!" I don't know who shouted first, and the whole Guancheng was in chaos.
"It's the Tengu descending to earth!"
"Let's run quickly, otherwise the tengu will eat us until all our bones are left!"
"The moon can be eaten, let alone Mianzhu Pass!"
"General, let's go!" The battle leader finally reacted and stretched out his hand to drag Zou Qiang.
"This is Chen Guomanzi!" Zou Qiang's eyes widened. He did not expect that Pei Zilie would actually fall from the sky, but he knew that no matter what spell the other party used, there were not many people coming. As long as he could kill these guys,
So it's not that Mianzhu Pass can't be defended, "you can't even leave!"
The battle leader said anxiously: "General, since these Chen Guo barbarians can fly, they must have some kind of magic that we can't defeat. Moreover, the morale of the army is in chaos, so we can only retreat at this time!"
"Retreat, where to retreat? Do you want to run to the sword pavilion in a state of embarrassment?!" Zou Qiang reached out and grabbed his lapel, "I'm going to push him up, but I don't believe it. These guys can fly and are invulnerable!"
Hearing Zou Qiang's firm voice, the surrounding soldiers calmed down a little, but they had no intention of stopping. When they noticed that these "Tengu" landed next to them, many soldiers were panicked.
Back.
The crossbowmen had no intention of unhooking their bows. They didn't even have the courage to draw the bow string at this time. These enemies falling from the sky had completely taken away their courage.
"Kill!" Zheng Kaiyuan was the first to take off, and it was also the first time he arrived at Guancheng. He let go of the handle, jumped down half a foot away from the city, and rolled on the spot to offset the impact of falling to the ground -
Zheng Kaiyuan had practiced this several times before, so he was familiar with it - he then drew out his short sword and stabbed the waist and abdomen of a Northern Zhou soldier next to him.
Blood splattered, and the Northern Zhou soldier's eyes widened, and he didn't even have time to make a sound. Zheng Kaiyuan drew out his knife and rushed towards the next person.
The enemy did not have many troops on top of the city, just patrolling soldiers. Zheng Kaiyuan could see these clearly from the sky, so it can be said that God was helping him.
Soldiers continued to fall behind Zheng Kaiyuan, and faint shouts could be heard.
