Chapter 766

Crouching Tiger Pass is in a dangerous place, it is easy to set up defenses, easy to defend but difficult to attack. When the Feng Kingdom army rushed to Crouching Tiger Pass and moved forward, all the Feng Army soldiers took a breath. Read the full text.

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. High city walls are 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 station in silence, gathered together to discuss, and decided to set up camp first. This battle will be another tough one. I don’t know how long it will take. It is still necessary to set up a stable camp first.

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 very strong. Defeating Crouching Pass will probably be even more difficult than defeating Ningyang!"

"Yes!" The generals nodded, indicating that Nanye was right.

Ziying continued: "Fortunately, Ning's 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 high city defense. How is that possible? Even Xia Yufu, who came with Tang Yin, shook her head secretly, feeling that Tang Yin didn't know the heights of the world.

Tang Yin understood what everyone was thinking, took a breath, waved his hand and said: "Build a sand table!"

The Feng army didn't even set up camp, so naturally they didn't prepare a sand table. The guardsmen could only temporarily find some rocks 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 in confusion, wondering 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: "Nan Ye, Li Sheng, this battle will be left to your new army. I will wait behind to hold the battle for you two."

flutter!

Nan Ye 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 in the army." Allocate to your new army, Nanye, you 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 many as you need, just light them all within three hours.”

As he spoke, 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 shoot 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 me and the two of you to knock down the city wall of Crouching Pass?"

Before Tang Yin could speak, Xia Yufu on the side sneered and said coldly: "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 in which she spoke sarcastically 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. Instead, he snapped his fingers and praised: "Miss Yufu is right. It is useless to smash the city wall, 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 rocks on both sides of Crouching Pass and said with a smile: "The target is the cliffs on the left and right of Crouching Pass. As early as when our army was still in Hexi, Cheng Jin and I came to Crouching Pass. That 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! Our army's weapons cannot destroy the city wall of Crouching Pass, but the huge rocks falling from the landslide can smash the wall of Crouching Pass to the ground." Tang Yin said with a smile: "So, Lin Han thought that Crouching Pass was Hu Pass is a dangerous place, but in fact, he is looking for death! "

I see! 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 been looking for a way to defeat the enemy as early as 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 by his side, 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, raised 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 irrelevant sentence in your ear every day, over time, the words will seem to become irrelevant. So far-fetched. This is the terrible habit.

Tang Yin and Xia Yufu are like this now. As long as the two of them meet together, Tang Yin will remind her directly or indirectly like reciting 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 developed, 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 possesses this, as well as 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, the new army has about 60,000 people. Nanye and Li Sheng each have 30,000 people, and they are divided into two groups to attack Wohu Pass.

The defenders of Wohu Pass were 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.

When the new army arrived about a mile away from Wohu Pass, they were already within the shooting range of the Ning army. The reason why Lin Han did not order the arrows to be released was to save arrows and wait for the Feng army to get closer. However, what surprised him and his officers was that 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 was Want to use large siege weapons for 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 their side was ready, the Feng Army's attack began.

Trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows were launched simultaneously, aiming not at the city wall 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 rumbling sound. The loud noise was deafening, and the entire mountain peak seemed to be shaking. Even the defenders in Crouching Pass felt like the earth was shaking.

The Ning army's officers and men all widened their eyes, and for a moment they forgot to release their arrows, watching the Feng army attack the cliff as if watching the excitement.

Lin Han watched 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. After thinking about this clearly, Lin Han shuddered subconsciously and shouted at the generals on the left and right: "Don't be stunned, quickly launch rockets and burn the enemy's equipment!"

"Sir, since the Feng Army thinks it is interesting to attack the cliff, let them fight. Anyway, it is them who will be consumed, not our army..." A Ning general said leisurely with a smile before he understood the situation.

Lin Han's face turned red with anger. He raised his sword and struck the Ning general on the cheek with the scabbard. At the same time, he roared angrily: "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 is in danger at Crouching Tiger Pass!"
