Volume 10 Chapter 608

Chapter 608

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 himself. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

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 military force was not weak, but it was not much stronger than Meng Shuang. He and Zhang Huai were already struggling after twenty rounds. He rolled his eyes, made a feint, and then turned his horse's head to defeat the main formation.

Zhang Huai was in high spirits, 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 and quickly took off his bow and arrow. Without any warning, he 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 knife.

With two crisp sounds of clang and clang, 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 without moving.

When the 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 raised his spiritual sword again, and said with a sneer: "No matter how strong your spiritual power is, you are not a general." opponent!”

While he was talking, he came to Zhang Huai who was lying on the ground. He raised his spiritual sword and tried to chop it down. But at this moment, Zhang Huai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and the spiritual sword in his hand was released. And it flew straight towards General Huan's chest.

Poof! A knife strike 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 swayed a few times on the horse, and General Huan rolled sideways off the horse. His limbs twitched a few times, and then stopped moving. Zhang Huai turned his head and spat out the arrow in his mouth, walked to the corpse on the ground, and pulled out his steel knife. Then, he got back on his horse, looked around the Huan Army camp opposite with his steel knife, and shouted loudly: : "Who else who is not afraid of death 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 trembling in their hearts, and chills ran down their spines. People looked at each other, and no one dared to rush into battle anymore.

Xiong Fei was furious, screamed strangely, and tried to get ready for battle. However, Xiong Yi held his brother tightly, shook his head slightly, and advised in a low voice: "Brother, why bother with this thief? Our army should attack the city immediately. , take Xixiao Pass first!”

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 doesn't think that his eldest brother can win easily in the past. What if? If there is a loss, the hand of General An will be injured. Not only will it greatly lose face, but it will also affect one's own siege battle, and the gain outweighs 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 the 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-ding-ding-ding-ding! Arrows fell like raindrops into the Huan army's camp, hitting the shields held up by the people and making a crackling sound. Many arrows passed through the gaps in the shields and wounded the Huan soldiers below. , From time to time, someone screamed and fell to the ground, 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 grass had grown on his body.

This is only the first round of arrow formation, and then comes the second and 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 dense and terrifying, and 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 expression. He stared at the defenders on the opposite side of the city wall and murmured, "Brother, I suddenly feel that the defenders guarding Xixiao Pass are not like Anjun, but Fengjun! Such a terrifying arrow formation, we have only seen it when we fought with Fengjun..."

Hearing this, Xiong Fei took a breath. Fengjun? He was shocked and said, "Brother, do you think Fengjun is in Xixiao Pass? That's impossible! Fengjun is obviously following us, how could it suddenly run in front of us and enter Xixiao Pass?"

"Yes! I also hope this is impossible!" Xiong Yi sighed secretly, but looking at the arrow formation at Xixiao Pass, he had to have such doubts.

The Huan army could not advance further when they advanced to the front of Xixiao Pass thirty steps. At this point, the arrow formation of the defenders became more fierce and fierce. Even if the soldiers were holding shields, they were often overwhelmed by the overwhelming arrow formation.

As casualties continued to increase, the Huan army in front began to have a fear of battle, and people retreated involuntarily.

They didn't even get close to the enemy city, but were beaten back halfway. This situation had never happened in the previous battles of the Huan army.

Xiong Fei was furious when he saw this, and immediately sent all the guards around him to supervise the battle on the battlefield. Those who retreated or flinched in front of the battle could be executed on the spot.

Under his high pressure, the cowardly soldiers of the Huan army could only bite the bullet and grit their teeth to move forward. At this time, they had to pay a huge price for every step forward, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers had to sacrifice their lives.

The battle lasted for more than an hour before the soldiers of the Huan army barely advanced to the city of Xixiao Pass. Next, people set up ladders and launched a close-range hand-to-hand combat against Xixiao Pass.

Without the long-range assistance of catapults, or the help of large weapons such as arrow towers and battering rams, the soldiers of the Huan army relied purely on manpower to attack. Of course, if the defenders were not strong in fighting spirit, their strong attack might be able to scare the opponent, but if the defenders were a brave and strong army, such an attack would undoubtedly be suicide.

Xiong Yi guessed correctly. 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.

Long before the Huan army marched to Kongsang Mountain, the Pingyuan army had quietly moved here and consolidated the city defense in Xixiao Pass, stockpiled supplies and food, and wanted to fight a protracted battle with the Huan army here.

The Huan army did not have any large siege weapons, and relying solely on manpower to attack was simply a stupid thing in the eyes of the Pingyuan army. Not to mention that the Huan army did not have many troops to attack now, even if there were ten times more, they would not be afraid, and they still had the confidence to stop the enemy outside the pass.

When the Huan army climbed up the ladder, the rolling logs and pounding stones above their heads were like hail, and there were countless arrows among them. The Huan army soldiers climbed up and were beaten down. The bodies of the Huan army soldiers were piled up under the city wall.

The battle between the two sides lasted from noon to dusk. Not only did the Huan army fail to climb the top of Xixiao Pass, but they also suffered heavy casualties. In the end, Xiong Fei and Xiong Yi had to call off the troops.

After a fierce battle, not only did they make no achievements, but they also lost more than 20,000 soldiers and generals. 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 couldn't show that he was too protective of them. He scolded the two in public, and then discussed with Jin Sheng and Jiang Yang and decided to wait until tomorrow morning for their main force to attack the city. Xixiao Pass was the last obstacle for them to return to their homeland. Even if they had to use a pile of people, they had to take down Xixiao Pass.

The next day, the siege war led by the three commanders Lu Chen, Jin Sheng and Jiang Yang began. The 600,000-man army made it impossible to see anything other than the Huan army outside Xixiao Pass.

Looking around, all the soldiers and horses of the Huan army were overwhelming and boundless. Before the attack began, the terrifying momentum alone was enough to make any opponent lose heart.

The An army in Xixiao Pass was so scared that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled. If it weren't for the Pingyuan army, they would have opened the gate and surrendered.

The An army was afraid of fighting, and the Pingyuan army was 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 is that the latter often panics without fighting when facing a strong enemy, while the former can be stimulated to have a stronger fighting power in front of a strong enemy.
