Zhou Xingyun and his eight men marched straight into Chengchai. The rebels inside exploded instantly, and they panicked and drew their weapons to fight.
Although there were only eight enemies who invaded Chengchai, and six of them were women, the rebels stationed at the checkpoint Chengchai did not dare to take it lightly because they were very aware of the strength of their own generals.
Regardless of the fact that Officer Chengchai was born a bandit and had a drunken and lustful nature, his strength was equivalent to that of a ten thousand captain in the regular army, that is, he was the top master in the world. If he did not have the strength, even if the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor wanted to support him, he would
It is impossible to get promoted and make a fortune in a few years, and become a qualified guard of the checkpoint...
Zhou Xingyun knocked him away as soon as he made a move, which shows that his strength is not trivial.
It is true that Ji Shuiqin killed more than ten second-rate warriors guarding the gate with lightning and flint, which was enough to frighten the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint.
However, what made the rebels stationed in Chengchai even more disheartened was that eight people from Zhou Xingyun entered Chengchai. Almost at the same time, the checkpoint was full of smoke.
In other words, someone attacked Shuimen Pass, and the soldiers stationed on the outer wall lit beacon fire to request support.
Chief Chengchai stood up in embarrassment and looked up at the flames of smoke in the sky. Two words popped into his mind... It's over!
Why did Chief Chengchai have such desperate thoughts? The reason is very simple...
There are about 3,000 soldiers stationed at Shuimen Pass. If we follow the normal offensive and defensive battles at the pass, 3,000 soldiers can temporarily resist the attack of 10,000 people. However, the situation at Shuimen Pass is very abnormal now, so abnormal that even Cheng Chai, who has no war experience,
The commander also understood that if he did not run away, he would die.
The structure of Shuimen Pass is in the shape of "Hui", with mountains on the left and right, outer walls on the top and bottom, and the entrance in the middle is the city wood.
Now that smoke was rising from the upper and lower outer walls of 'Shuimenguan', even a fool could understand that they were being attacked from both sides by the enemy.
The worst thing is that there are currently only about 600 soldiers stationed on the two outer walls, and most of the soldiers are on standby inside the city.
Now that Zhou Xingyun and eight men have invaded Chengchai, the soldiers on standby have too much to worry about and cannot protect themselves, let alone support the soldiers guarding the outer wall of the checkpoint.
What is catching a turtle in an urn? This is called catching a turtle in an urn. When Chief Chengchai came to his senses, Shuimen Pass had already fallen into a three-point eruption state. The front and rear outer walls and Chengchai were all attacked by enemy soldiers.
"Don't panic, everyone. There are only eight enemies who have invaded. As long as we drive them out, we will win!" Chief Chengchai shouted loudly, hoping to stabilize the morale of the army.
"What the boss said is right, brothers, don't forget, the capital will send troops to assist us soon. As long as we guard it for half an hour, the vanguard reinforcements of the "Longmen Pass" in the southwest will arrive at our checkpoint!"
‘Shuimen Pass’ is located in the southeast of the outskirts of the capital, adjacent to ‘Longmen Pass’ in the southwest of the outskirts of the capital. Once Shuimen Pass is attacked, the reinforcements from ‘Longmen Pass’ can arrive at ‘Shuimen Pass’ within an hour.
The first idea of the Chengchai officers at "Shuimen Pass" was to use the human sea tactic to desperately push Zhou Xingyun's eight men out of Chengchai, and then huddle up and defend, waiting for reinforcements from Longmen Pass.
It doesn't matter even if the two outer walls are lost. Anyway, after the reinforcements of 'Longmen Pass' arrive, the large troops stationed in the capital will also come. When the time comes, the inside and outside will cooperate to launch a counterattack, and the outer wall of 'Shuimen Pass' will surely be retaken.
"There are only eight enemies! Our number is two hundred times theirs! There is no need to be afraid of them! Brothers, follow me and charge!" Chief Chengchai is a mountain king after all, and has certain command capabilities. Even though the situation is not optimistic, he can still stabilize the situation.
Stay calm and fight back.
However, when Chief Chengchai adjusted his mentality and appeared in front of Zhou Xingyun and others again, he heard bad news that made him tremble.
"I heard that you used to be the leader of the bandits, and you can be considered half a Jianghu person. Then you should know that the peak warriors have absolute dominance on the battlefield." Zhou Xingyun said lightly while waving to Ke Fu.
"City Lord, do you want to play games with Kefu? Hahaha... Kefu is not free now... Someone wants to kill Kefu..." Kefu came to Zhou Xingyun like a kid next door, frowning and smiling, but she
The things he held in his hands made people shudder...
Two unrecognizable bloody heads were held in the hands of young girls like bowling balls.
Gulu... Chief Chengchai swallowed in fear. Although the two heads were completely unrecognizable, he could judge based on the facial contours of the deceased that the two people who died in the hands of the girl were the left arms who had followed him to become king from scratch.
The right arm is also the second in command and the third in command of the level, two almost top masters.
When? How did they die? Chief Chengchai couldn't believe it. Even a top expert couldn't kill them instantly in such a short period of time. Unless...
The four characters "Extreme Warrior" came into Chief Chengchai's mind along with despair.
There are only two to three hundred troops stationed on each of the two outer walls of Shuimen Pass. This number of people cannot show the defense system of the city wall at all.
Just like a three-meter-wide passage, as long as three people hold up shields to guard it, it can resist the charge of ten people.
The effect of four people and three people guarding the passage is almost the same, because only three people can form a defense line in the passage.
However, there is a huge difference in the effectiveness of guarding between two people and three people. After all, two people cannot fill the three-meter-wide passage, leaving a one-meter-wide gap. They cannot form a defense system. Ten people can break through at every opportunity.
In other words, if we want to carry out saturation defense on the city wall, at least five hundred people will be needed. If the soldiers on standby in the checkpoint city firewood at this time cannot support the outer wall in time, it is estimated that the outer wall defense line will be destroyed in less than two quarters of an hour.
Will collapse...
The commander of Chengchai knew very well that the other side had extremely elite warriors holding the battle. It would be impossible for them to drive the eight Zhou Xingyuns out of the gate in a short period of time. Once the outer wall was lost, a large enemy force would invade Chengchai... His fate could be seen.
Looking vertically, it's a dead end.
Despair! There is no word better than despair to describe Chief Chengchai's mood at this moment. Now he is beginning to regret it. If he had known it would be like this, he might as well continue to be the king of the mountain.
"What are you thinking about? Don't say I won't give you a chance to live. Just surrender." Zhou Xingyun sneered. Up to now, the plan has been going very smoothly. The soldiers stationed at 'Shuimen Pass' have no choice but to surrender.
Their only way to survive.
Chief Chengchai was originally a bandit. He worked for the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor for nothing more than coveting glory and wealth. Loyalty and other such things were all nonsense. Now that he could not even save his life, his only choice was...
Xu Zhiqian successfully defeated the stubborn soldiers without fighting. Before the battle started, the rebels stationed at "Shuimen Pass" raised their flags and surrendered.
The two outer wall doors were opened, and Han Qiumiao led the team into the checkpoint to join forces with Zhou Xingyun, Xu Zhiqian and others.
"A mob." Han Qiumiao looked down with cold contempt. Now she could only use the above four words to evaluate the soldiers stationed at Shuimen Pass. You know, before attacking Shuimen Pass, she and Xu Zhiqian had done a lot of preparations, but the battle hadn't started yet.
, the other party surrendered.
Of course, this is only a consequential theory, because before attacking Shuimen Pass, no one can say that the generals stationed at the pass will easily defect, so it is necessary to be fully prepared. Only by being prepared can you be invincible.
Xu Zhiqian and Han Qiumiao took Shuimen Pass without losing a single soldier.
When Zhou Xingyun entered the checkpoint Chengchai, Zheng Chengxue sent a signal to notify Xu Zhiqian and Han Qiumei to attack. Of course, this attack was not a forced attack, but to direct the troops to approach the checkpoint and not attack outside the wall to put pressure on the enemy generals.
Seeing the enemy soldiers appear, the soldiers stationed on the outer wall must light the beacon tower and notify the city fire master that they will come as soon as possible to support. The result...
Chief Chengchai believed that there was no way to survive, so he surrendered as expected.
Zhou Xingyun was not surprised by this. After all, even the Sixteenth Prince's confidant Wang Yushi had conspired to defect. This group of profit-seeking bandits would not risk their lives for the Sixteenth Prince.
Of course, it's okay if Chief Chengchai doesn't surrender. At that time, Zheng Chengxue will fire the second signal flare, which will be the real signal of attack.
Anyway, Han Qiumi and Xu Zhiqian had already done enough work. Regardless of whether Chief Chai surrendered or not, they were fully confident that they would conquer Shuimen Pass in a short time.
Shuimen Pass fell, and Han Qiumiao led his troops into the pass. Will today's war come to an end? The answer is... NO!
Conquering Shuimen Pass is only the first part of Xu Zhiqian's plan. In other words, Shuimen Pass is just an appetizer on the eve of the feast, and the next step is the focus.
Han Qiumiao and Xu Zhiqian led their troops into the checkpoint and immediately imprisoned all the rebels to prevent anyone among them from escaping the checkpoint and reporting information.
Because the next step is to ask you to enter the jar and beat the dog...the best moment!
There was an emergency at Shuimen Pass. Although the Sixteenth Emperor didn't know what was going on, he could roughly guess that Han Qiumiao had gathered his troops to attack.
Zhou Xingyun has already made his mark in the capital, and Han Qiumiao must have returned as well.
The sixteenth son of the emperor had no choice but to stop the search for Zhou Xingyun and let Qi Yuan take six thousand cavalry and three generals under his command to rush to Shuimen Pass to rescue him.
"The reinforcements are coming! The reinforcements are finally here! We are saved!"
When the gate guards saw Qi Yuan commanding 6,000 cavalry arriving at Shuimen Pass, they couldn't help but rush forward with joy.
"What's the situation like ahead?" Qi Yuan stared at the three guards in front of him, secretly suspicious in his heart.
"No... not optimistic... we only have less than 500 people left, and... General Yi thought that the checkpoint was abandoned, so he took his confidants and ran away two-quarters of an hour ago..." The guard soldier had a runny nose.
Crying with tears, Chief Chai of Chengchai did not see the arrival of reinforcements for a long time, so he ordered the soldiers to stick to the pass, while he himself ran away without knowing where he was.
"Since the situation on the front line is critical, why are you here?" Qi Yuan asked coldly.
"My... subordinate deserves death. I beg the general to spare my life." The guard knelt down quickly and admitted that Shuimen Pass could no longer be defended, so the three of them secretly evacuated from the front line to escape for their lives.
"Get up. It's not easy for you to persist until now. Follow me to attack the rebels!" Qi Yuan made a prompt decision and commanded six thousand cavalry to enter Shuimen Pass.
The three doormen... to be precise, they should be Qin Shou, Guo Heng, and Li Xiaofan. They glanced at each other secretly and inadvertently showed a sly smile.
