Chapter 826

The siege has been going on for more than an hour, and the Chuan-Zhen coalition was blocked outside the Baguan Pass by the Feng army.

The Zhen army fought bravely, and the Chuan army had many siege weapons, but the perfect combination of the two armies did not open even a gap.

First, Baguan Pass is indeed steep, and the city wall is not only strong, but also three feet high, which is much higher than the tower of the Chuan army. Second, the Feng army is well trained. When the commander gives an order, the upper and lower parts move together, and the soldiers are also brave. In the battle, they are quite desperate and willing to use their flesh and blood to stop the enemy's attack. Third, the Feng army is too well prepared, and the stockpiled city defense weapons are countless, and people can use them without worries.

Under such circumstances, the Chuan-Zhen coalition attacked one wave and was beaten down the next wave. Not only was it ineffective, but they also suffered countless casualties.

At this time, the generals of the two armies watching the battle from behind were no longer as relaxed as they were at the beginning. As the casualties of the soldiers in the front increased, people's faces became more and more solemn. Gradually, people's smiles disappeared and their brows furrowed deeply.

They did not expect the strong resistance of the Feng Army. Before the battle with the Feng Army, they only heard that the Feng Army fought bravely. Now it seems that it is true. The Feng Army's continuous victory over the powerful neighboring country Ningguo is not a fluke.

Seeing that the first batch of siege troops suffered too many casualties and the attack began to weaken, Nie Ze made a prompt decision and immediately sent out the second batch of troops. The Chuanzhen Army and the Zhen Army each dispatched ten corps to replace all the corps fighting in the front.

This is where Nie Ze commanded the battle fiercely. He used multiple batches of troops to replace the attack, so that the intensity of the attack was always kept at the most intense state, giving the enemy no chance to breathe.

Soon, the Chuanzhen coalition completed the replacement of the attack. While the first batch of siege troops retreated, the second batch of siege troops immediately filled in and continued to launch a fierce attack on Baguan.

After the first batch of troops retreated to their camp, statistics were made. Not counting the wounded, the Zhen army had nearly 30,000 casualties, and the Sichuan army had 21,000 casualties. The casualties of the two armies combined were equivalent to the destruction of five corps.

Such a tragic battle made Nie Ze feel secretly chilled.

Ren Fang had already asked people to prepare barbecue and warm water behind his camp. After the soldiers in the front retreated, they were immediately taken to the rear to eat meat, drink water and rest. While eating the barbecue provided by the Sichuan army, the Zhen soldiers were still laughing secretly. It was quite comfortable to fight with these spoiled young soldiers of the Sichuan army.

The siege was still going on endlessly, and the soldiers of both sides were still fighting bloody battles on the battlefield.

On the other side, the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army, 20 miles away from the Sichuan-Zhen coalition camp, had already joined together and moved to a place about 10 miles away from the enemy camp.

Now Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi gathered together to discuss how to attack the enemy camp.

According to the intelligence they had obtained, 800,000 soldiers of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition left the camp to fight, which means that there were at least 200,000 soldiers left in the enemy camp. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi would not charge into the enemy camp guarded by 200,000 soldiers, but the situation was different now. The Sichuan-Zhen coalition was attacking Baguan fiercely, and it was still unknown whether they could hold on. As the only reinforcements for Baguan, they had to play a role in restraining the enemy. Attacking an army of 800,000 soldiers was like hitting a rock with an egg. The only thing they could do now was to attack the enemy camp and force the main force of the enemy to come back for rescue.

But they had no idea how to fight this battle.

Now the combined strength of the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army was less than 150,000. If they attacked the enemy camp of 200,000 soldiers, they might not be able to restrain the enemy if they were not careful, and they would have to die in the enemy camp.

Liang Qi frowned and said, "Mu Qing, our army will lead the battle, and your troops will support us from behind."

Xiao Muqing waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously, "Now is not the time to compete for merit. Although your army has a lot of troops left, it is still not as good as our army in frontal combat. In this battle... our army will lead the battle, and you will be the backup. If our army can't get in, you don't have to go up, we will retreat together. If our army really gets into the enemy camp, there must be a support army outside."

The Pingyuan Army now has only more than 50,000 troops left. If it is counted, it can only be considered half a legion. Liang Qi really can't bear to let the Pingyuan Army with this little force lead the attack on the enemy camp, although the combat effectiveness of the Pingyuan Army is indeed much stronger than that of the Sanshui Army.

Liang Qi's brows were almost twisted into knots, and his fists were clenched slowly. He said without giving up: "It's too dangerous! If this battle is not favorable, I'm afraid..."

"Even if no one in our army can leave the battlefield alive in the end, our army has no choice but to sacrifice their lives for the country. It is the highest honor for us and the soldiers in the army!" Xiao Muqing said it firmly. After hearing it, Liang Qi sighed and was speechless.

In the end, the two decided on the attack plan. The Pingyuan Army was the vanguard and attacked the enemy camp, and the Sanshui Army was the rear army to assist and support the Pingyuan Army.

After the discussion, the two armies began to march towards the camp of the Chuanzhen coalition.

The Feng Army came from the west and attacked the West Camp. The Pingyuan Army took the lead in launching the attack.

Although the Pingyuan Army is not fully organized now, the formation is still neat at the time of the attack. The whole army held the shield and rushed to the West Camp Gate in front quickly.

As soon as the Pingyuan Army showed up, the Chuanzhen coalition sentries discovered something, and alarms rang out in the camp.

When the Pingyuan Army was a hundred feet away from the enemy camp, arrows began to be shot from the camp.

However, the arrow formation of the Chuanzhen coalition was not fierce, at least it was not the scale of tens of thousands of people shooting at the same time, at most only a few thousand people were shooting arrows.

Zhan Hu, who was arranged by Xiao Muqing to lead the charge, saw an opportunity and led many Feng troops to launch a rapid charge. At this time, no one in the Feng army shot back, and people had only one goal, to rush into the enemy camp as quickly as possible and kill all the enemy troops.

People held shields in one hand and knives in the other, and each of them rushed to the enemy camp with all their strength.

Zhan Hu was the first to take the lead. He carried a spirit hammer and was covered with spirit armor. He did not dodge or block the oncoming arrows, and only relied on the solidity of his own spirit armor to withstand the damage of the arrows.

Fortunately, the opponent's arrows were not too fierce, and the target was not him alone. Even if there were sporadic arrows nailed to his body, they were blocked by the spirit armor one by one.

Some of the Feng army were shot dead or wounded during the charge, but it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the entire army, nor was it enough to stop the Feng army's rapid attack. It didn't take long for the Feng army, led by Zhan Hu, to arrive at the camp gate.

Looking at the tightly closed camp gate, Zhan Hu put down the spiritual hammer on his shoulder, swung his arms in a circle, took three steps in two, rushed to the camp gate, and then swung a hammer with all his strength, smashing it hard.

His own strength plus the inertia of the forward charge made the force of this hammer amazing. There was a click in the ear, and wood chips flew across the field. The camp gate made of wooden stakes was smashed into a big round hole by Zhan Hu's hammer. He took back the spiritual hammer and used all his strength again to smash the camp gate continuously.

Click, click, click - the solid camp gate was shattered under Zhan Hu's spiritual hammer, and broken wood was scattered all over the ground. The faces of the Chuanzhen coalition in the camp suddenly changed, wondering whether the Fengjiang who smashed the door was a human or a monster, how could he have such great strength. Before they could react, Zhanhu had smashed a large round hole more than two meters wide in the camp gate, and the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army rushed in.

The first few soldiers who entered were shot by the enemy's concentrated arrows. Several of them were shot with arrow feathers all over their bodies. They screamed and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Zhanhu also rushed in.

The dense arrows shot at him, jingling and sparks flew. He roared, not giving the enemy soldiers a chance to fire a second round of arrows. He rushed forward with a few steps, swung the spirit hammer, and swept out.

Puff-this hammer swept out, and four or five archers were smashed out alive. Before the other archers retreated, Zhanhu threw three heavy hammers in a row and smashed into the crowd, hammering flesh and hammering bones, and screams rose in the crowd. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhanhu disrupting the enemy, a large number of Pingyuan Army soldiers rushed in and engaged in close combat with the Chuanzhen Allied Forces in the camp.

Pingyuan Army is the ace army in the Feng Army. Its combat effectiveness, battlefield experience and even weapons and equipment are second to none. When fighting with Pingyuan Army, it is unknown when they will rush over with swords and when they will stand still and shoot crossbows. They can kill both close enemy troops and enemy troops a little further away from them. Their single-soldier combat capability is extremely strong.

Hearing the alarm, the Chuanzhen Allied Forces ran to the West Camp Gate for defense with only more than 10,000 soldiers. How could they withstand the more than 50,000 Feng Army? After fighting for more than a quarter of an hour, the Chuanzhen Allied Forces could not resist. First, the Chuan Army was completely defeated and fled to the center of the camp. Seeing that the Chuan Army ran away, the Zhen Army did not want to be a scapegoat. People gave up resistance and ran with the Chuan Army.

More than 2,000 bodies were left on the battlefield, and all the Chuanzhen soldiers who could breathe ran away.

Unexpectedly, the battle went so smoothly. Zhan Hu was extremely excited. While he led his troops to chase and kill the enemy soldiers, he ordered people to set fire to the camp. No matter what they saw, as long as it could be burned, they would all be burned.

He had just passed on this order when he was stopped by Xiao Muqing. Now that we have rushed into the enemy camp, setting fire at this time is equivalent to cutting off our retreat. Once the enemy army concentrates its forces and counterattacks, we can't escape even if we want to, and the Sanshui army outside can't come in to support us.

After being scolded by Xiao Muqing, Zhan Hu's dizzy head immediately calmed down, nodded repeatedly, and dared not act rashly again.

Let's say that the Pingyuan army chased the enemy's deserters all the way, and unknowingly had penetrated more than two miles into the enemy camp.

The station of a million troops is really too large, and when setting up camp, Ren Fang also deliberately arranged the camp wider. The camp of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition army is more than ten miles in radius. If you want to run from one side of the camp to the other, you will be exhausted.

While chasing the enemy soldiers, the Pingyuan Army encountered scattered enemies running out to block them along the way, but they were not large in scale, ranging from a few hundred to a few dozen. It seemed that the entire camp’s garrison was only 18,000 people.

At this time, Xiao Muqing took a breath of cold air alertly, thinking to himself: Could there be another ambush in the enemy camp?
