Chapter 244 Seizing Zhennan Pass (Part 2)

A gleam flashed in Li Anbai's cloudy eyes, as if he could see through the heart of the young bandit at a glance, and said hoarsely: "Young hero, don't worry, the old man has been imprisoned in Zhennan for nearly ten years. Everything is clear. There is a dark room in the yard where the little girl lives, which is enough to hide temporarily for a few days."

The young bandit trembled in his heart, feeling that his little thoughts were clearly seen by the old man opposite, he suppressed the discomfort, forced a smile and said: "That's great, please let the old village master and miss move into the dark room."

Li Anbai's eyes flashed, and he continued: "Young man, there is something that I have to remind you."

"Old village master, please tell me!" The young bandit dared not neglect.

"This old man knows a thing or two about the traitor's temperament. This person is thoughtful and cautious, and he is known as a cunning rabbit. This time he took the opportunity to seize power, which is a clear proof. The old man can almost conclude that the villain will definitely prepare to retreat. Zhennan The pass is located in the canyon, and both the north and the south can escape. If the situation is not right, the villains are likely to abandon the pass and escape from the north." Otherwise, the person who knows you best is often your enemy.

The young bandit's face turned pale. If the bandit leader abandons the gate and escapes, he should not be aware of it, that would be a serious dereliction of duty. "Thank you, old village master, for reminding me!"

Li Anbai blinked his eyes as a response. He reminded the other party that he also had his own selfish motives. If the villain escapes, it will be a disaster to his daughter after all.

After explaining everything, I saw Li Anbai groping hard at the head of the bed, and with a "click", the wall next to him was suddenly pushed away from both sides, revealing a secret room. The secret room is only four or five square meters, with a bed and a chair, other than that, there is nothing else, it is very simple.

The time was urgent, the young bandits didn't dare to delay, and together with Li Feixue, they transferred Li Anbai to the bed in the secret room, and then brought some dry food in.

Li Feixue followed his father into the secret room.

Not long after, the secret room was closed again, and nothing abnormal could be seen from the outside. The young bandit was still not at ease, and arranged the beds outside before walking out of the small courtyard with an empty food box.

Before leaving, the young bandit once again asked the guards not to enter to check, nor to leave their posts without authorization, so as to avoid suspicion from outsiders, and the guards responded gratefully.

The young bandit was preoccupied, thinking about how to prevent the other party from escaping, not to mention that.

Outside Zhennan Pass, the war has already started.

The first to show their power were the five bed crossbows and the archer battalion. The dense rain of arrows drew arcs in the sky, covering the top of the city.

The rain of arrows fired by the bed crossbow was urgent and fast, like a machine gun, and the arrows poured out densely like bullets fired from the chamber, taking away the lives of bandits one by one.

As long as the bandits dare to take the lead, they will face a fatal blow.

"Cover! Cover!" shouted the bandit leader, hiding under a shield.

The bandit archers were ordered, dared not disobey their orders, walked out of the cover of the shield tremblingly, and threw them directly without aiming. The arrow rain was condescending, like the blade of death, impacting down at high speed.

"Raise the shield!" The commander shouted loudly.

With a sound of "swipe", the shields stood up one by one. Seen from above, it looks like the ground is covered with a layer of shields.

The arrow hit the shield, making a piercing "Bobo" sound.

Some unlucky ones, who didn't hold on to their shields firmly, were hit by arrows and slipped to the side, revealing gaps; the arrows that followed mercilessly pierced into the soldiers' bodies, harvesting a life.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two sides' confrontation, ten ladders were slowly pushed to the edge of the city wall. Hiding in the ladder is the first battalion of the Imperial Guard Brigade.

At the same time, the bed crossbow changed its target and started firing "stepping arrows" towards the city wall. Huge arrows shot into the city wall along the gaps in the city wall, forming a dense forest of arrows.

The arrows on the prongs were the starting guns, and the sword and shield soldiers in the back row, facing the rain of arrows, began to move towards the city wall.

The ladder stopped beside the city wall, and with a "snap", the folded auxiliary ladder was set up, and the hook at the top of the ladder was firmly hooked to the edge of the city wall.

The soldiers of the Guards Brigade walked out of the ladder one after another, followed the ladder, and began to climb up. In order to increase the speed, the soldiers held the Tang Dao in their mouths and climbed with both hands.

"Master, the ladder is up!" The bandit panicked.

"I'm not blind, I can see." The bandit leader roared angrily, "Come up to me, push the ladder away, and throw them to death."

The hook of the ladder is specially designed, and it is difficult to push it smoothly without the right method. The bandits who rushed out desperately had not been trained to defend the city at all. Looking at the killing god climbing up from below, they were all terrified.

"Hit them with stones!" The bandit leader realized his mistake and hurriedly adjusted his strategy.

"Yes!" In order to survive, the bandits picked up rocks and threw them down.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard Brigade had already climbed to the top of the city wall, and the stones that fell knocked the soldiers who were standing in front of them and fell off the ladder. The soldiers who caught up later took advantage of this opportunity to quickly climb to the top.

The soldiers held the Tang Dao in their hands, stood on the ladder, and fought with the bandits.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard Brigade are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and the first battalion is even more elite among the elite. Each of them is a tenth-rank elite soldier of a hundred battles. Their lethality is extremely astonishing.

Ten ladders, blossoming on all sides.

Wang Feng led the way and climbed the city wall first.

I saw Wang Feng shake his big gun, and said coldly: "Wang Feng is here, whoever is not afraid of death, come here!"

"Kill him!" The bandit leader still didn't go into battle himself.

"Kill!" Among the bandits, there are still villains. They are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid that others will say that he is timid. Wang Feng's words and deeds undoubtedly irritated them a lot.

"Drink!" Wang Feng was fearless, and with a sweep of the spear, there was a large space in front of him.

In the battle of Eishi Ridge, Wang Feng made a breakthrough before the battle, and his combat power became even more terrifying. Sweeping or stabbing with spears took away the lives of bandits, and for a while, no one could get close to them.

Wang Feng was like a god of death, guarding firmly near the ladder to prevent bandits from approaching. Taking this opportunity, the soldiers of the follow-up imperial guards quickly followed up and climbed up the city wall neatly.

Seeing the general's power, this group of war madmen brandished Tang sabers, regardless of whether they were superior in numbers, they rushed directly into the group of bandits and fought with them.

The toughness of the Guards Brigade made the bandits terrified.

If the road is broken, the road will be broken.

The soldiers on the other ladders climbed up the city wall one after another and fought with the bandits.

Seeing that he was about to be unable to defend, the bandit leader became ruthless and called the bandits who were in charge of throwing rocks down to besiege the group of lunatics.

As everyone knows, the sword and shield soldiers who have been waiting by the city wall are waiting for this opportunity. Under the leadership of the captain, they either passed the ladder or climbed the "treading arrows", and quickly climbed onto the city wall to support the friendly army.

All of a sudden, at the top of Zhennan Pass, the sound of killing shook the sky, and blood flowed like a river.

Seeing that the Sword and Shield Barracks climbed the city wall, Mu Guiying, who was in charge of the command, decisively ordered the Shanhai County Heavy Infantry Battalion to start attacking the city gate.

After receiving the order, Shi Hu didn't dare to be negligent, and roared: "Brothers, charge me!"

"Come on!" The mountain barbarian warriors, with their shields on their backs and piles of rams, rushed towards the city gate aggressively.

"Boom!!!" The bumper collided with the city gate, making a loud crashing sound, and the whole checkpoint was shaken.

"Hey!" The soldiers chanted, withdrew the ram, and repeatedly struck the city gate.

Although the wooden city gate was covered with iron sheets, under the continuous impact of this monster, it made a "creaking" sound, and it seemed that it would be overwhelmed.

The mountain man is famous for its strength. The impact they push against the wood produces more than ten thousand catties of momentum.

With a bang, the first city gate was finally broken.

Zhennanguan is the main city gate, but there are three gates. After the outermost city gate was broken through, there was another city gate in the middle. Fortunately, at this time, the soldiers have door openings to cover them, so they can act with confidence.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" A chant came from inside the doorway, followed by a booming sound that shook the sky, which made people tremble with fear.

Above the city wall, the bandit leader felt his heart tighten when he heard the rumble coming from below. Looking around, a large number of enemy troops have rushed to the top of the city. Although the number is only half of that of the bandits, they are not at a loss.

On the other hand, the bandits were terrified of being killed, and they seemed about to be overwhelmed.

"Hey!" The bandit leader sighed unwillingly, motioned to his confidants, and retreated secretly.

At this moment, the second city gate was broken.

At this time, there are two choices in front of Shihu. One is to follow the passage in the gate and climb up the city wall to assist the siege troops; the other is to continue to break through the third gate and cut off the enemy's retreat.

After a little thought, Shi Hu already had an idea. He first sent someone to report the situation inside the doorway to the headquarters. Immediately afterwards, a squadron was left behind and continued to break through the last city gate. With the rest of the troops, he climbed up the stairs to the top of the city and assisted the brothers of the Guards Brigade.

After receiving Shi Hu's report, Mu Guiying frowned, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, a signal flare was raised in Zhennan Pass.

Mu Guiying was startled, knowing that it was the signal flare fired by the secret agent in the pass, indicating that the situation was urgent.

She didn't hesitate anymore, except to leave one squadron of the cavalry battalion, just in case; the remaining four squadrons were all sent out by her, through the door opening, to the rear to intercept the enemy's retreat.

Ouyang Shuo and Mu Lanyue stood aside without saying a word, letting Mu Guiying direct.

The cavalry battalion thought that this battle was nothing to do with them. After receiving the order, everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm. Without saying a word, they patted their horses and rushed out of the position, heading straight for the city gate.

At this time, the top of the city was already in chaos, and the bandit archers could no longer shoot arrows outside with peace of mind, and were involved in the melee. Therefore, the cavalry battalion rushed all the way to the gate of the city smoothly.

Just this time and again, the third city gate has been breached.

The cavalry battalion gave a thumbs up to the mountain barbarian warriors, led their subordinates, passed through the city gate, and detoured to the north of Zhennanguan, preparing to intercept the enemy.
