Li Xin's goal has never been a small Fu County.

Such a big place can't accommodate too many people, Li Xin's real focus is Mianzhu not far from Fucheng, Mianzhu is the real Acropolis of Jincheng, as long as Mianzhu is taken, it is equivalent to choking the neck of the Pingnan Army, no matter how Li Shen struggles, he can't jump for too long.

However, Mianzhu conservatively estimated that there were also tens of thousands of defenders, and it was almost impossible to take it easily, so Li Xin could only retreat and temporarily occupy Fucheng near Mianzhu.

Now, Li Xin has to wait and see in Fucheng for ten days and half a month before deciding how to make the next move.

If Li Shen really brought troops to fight Fucheng, he would teach the general of the Zhuguo a good lesson, if Li Shen did not come, then Li Xin would start planning to attack Mianzhu.

However, Li Xin did not wait, he wrote a letter to Mu Ying, who was far away in Hanzhou.

Mianzhu conservatively estimated that there were also 10,000 people guarding, so many people, with Li Xin's subordinates, it was basically impossible to take it head-on, not because they were incapable of defeating it, but because they were not capable of defeating it before the Pingnan Army supported Mianzhu.

Mianzhu is a big city, no matter how Li Xin cares about the lives of his subordinates, it is absolutely impossible to defeat it within three days like Fucheng.

So Li Xin wants to use those people under Mu Ying's hands.

You know, Hanzhou Mansion is on the other side of Mianzhu!

After writing the letter to Mu Ying, Li Xin asked Zhao Jia to transcribe it into five copies, distribute them to the most capable people in the five armies, and go to Hanzhou City to deliver the letter.

The reason for this was that it was in wartime, and the transmission route had to pass through "enemy-occupied areas", so it had to be sent carefully.

In this way, as long as any of the five people is discovered, they will not hesitate to destroy the letter in their hand, ensuring safety while ensuring that the letter will be delivered to Mu Ying.

After writing a letter to Mu Ying, Li Xin picked up the pen again and wanted to write a letter to Ye Shaobao, but after hesitating, he still put down the pen in his hand.

If nothing else, at this time, Ye Ming should have known the news that Fucheng was taken by himself, and there is no point in writing a letter, if Ye Ming has not reacted at this time, there is no tacit understanding between the two people, and it is even more meaningless to write a letter again.

The Marquis of Jing'an threw the pen aside and closed the letter in front of him.

"At this time, Senior Brother Ye has to help me relieve the pressure......"

The pressure that Li Xin said was the pressure from the Sword Pavilion.

If only Li Shen came to fight Fucheng, Li Xin could hold it for a long time even if he couldn't hold it, but if the Sword Pavilion also divided his troops, then Li Xin shouldn't be able to hold out for too long.

So at this time, someone from the Sword Pavilion must help Li Xin hold it down.

…………

Sword Pavilion.

This place, as if the mountain range was split by a giant god's sword, left a long sword mark, and this sword mark is the only road in this mountain range.

The sword gate is closed, and it is on this "sword mark".

It is precisely because of this unique terrain that Jianmen Pass has always been said to be a man who is a man who is not open, and throughout the ages, there are only a handful of generals who have captured Jianmen Pass head-on.

Only Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan of this dynasty, led people to grind open the sword gate.

At this time, another great general launched a charge against Jianmen Pass.

The first wave of five or six thousand people, divided into several formations, began to storm the Sword Gate Pass round after round!

The general Ye Ming personally supervised the battle, gave the death order, and those who took a step back would not be forgiven!

Under this kind of almost harsh supervision, even the elite forbidden army began a tidal wave of impact on Jianmen Pass, during this period of time, they were stationed outside Jianmen Pass, but Ye Ming played a trick and ordered the craftsmen in the army to make siege equipment at night, although the progress was slow, but after a long time, Ye Ming's department also made a lot of siege equipment such as catapults.

In the first three days, the siege situation was very fierce, and from time to time stones were smashed on the tower of Jianmen Pass, and Ye Shaobao, who had always been calm, was like a mad tiger, frantically attacking the defense line of Jianmen Pass.

For three whole days, the sword gate was closed and the blood flowed.

Ye Ming's department suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and the defenders of Jianmen Pass were not very good, and they were also killed by the offensive of the forbidden army.

Both sides were red-eyed.

Just when the forbidden army was about to continue to storm the Sword Gate Pass, Ye Shaobao waved his hand and ordered all the forbidden troops to withdraw. Return to the station to recuperate.

No one understood the order quite well.

According to the reason, after a full three days of siege, at this time, there is a serious shortage of Jianmen Pass's defense tools, including gold juice, fire oil, rolling stones and the like, at this time, even if there are many people who die, they must continue to charge, and there will be some opportunities to take Jianmen Pass.

But if the troops are withdrawn at this time and the Sword Gate is closed enough time to breathe, then all the people who died in the forbidden army in the past three days will die in vain!

These generals of the forbidden army were a little unconvinced, but Ye Ming Ye Shaobao's qualifications were here, and he did not dare to disobey his general order, although he was not angry, but the forbidden army still withdrew the camp according to the order and began to rest.

This time, the Praetorian army suffered heavy casualties.

Facing the corpses all over the ground, Ye Shaobao was much more indifferent than Li Xin, he didn't even look at those corpses, but calmly ordered his subordinates to count their names and bury the corpses.

Tzu is not in charge of the army.

A somewhat compassionate character like Li Xin is destined to not be a famous general, a real famous general, as long as he can achieve his strategic goals, no matter how many people die, they can turn a blind eye.

In other words, they are used to seeing life and death, so they will be as indifferent as Ye Ming.

In the evening, all of Ye Ming's subordinates returned to the camp.

While the tent was being discussed, a forbidden army captain finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and hugged his fist at Ye Ming.

"General, today's matter, the last general can't figure it out no matter what!"

This Lieutenant Chong looked like a rough man, and he didn't have much heart, he said directly: "This afternoon, the defenders of Jianmen Pass are obviously tired, and we have a good chance to break through the pass in one go. ”

Ye Ming sat on the main seat, and he didn't raise his eyelids.

"Then according to your meaning, how long will it take for us to fight before we can gnaw on this slightly tired sword gate pass in your mouth?"

The Lieutenant Commander gritted his teeth.

"If you don't fight, who knows?"

Ye Ming sneered: "This Sword Gate Pass, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Pingnan Army back then, took eight years to gnaw down!" ”

"Now the people guarding this pass are only stronger than Nanshu back then, where did you get the confidence to think that you can win the Sword Gate Pass in three days?"

"If we continue to fight, we will only die more!"

This Commander Chong was still unconvinced, and bowed his head and said: "Since the general knows that he can't beat the Sword Gate Pass, why did he command the brothers to rush the Sword Gate Pass before?" ”

"If you don't fight halfway, won't the brothers who were killed and injured before die in vain?"

He gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "Although my forbidden army is not the Zhenbei army led by the general, no matter what, it can be regarded as a human life?!" ”

This is accusing Ye Ming of not taking the lives of the forbidden army seriously.

Ye Shaobao glanced at this person, and finally said expressionlessly.

"Let's fight for these three days, we can ensure that the defenders of the Sword Pavilion will not dare to leave the Sword Pavilion for half a step."

The reason why Ye Ming rushed to the Sword Gate like a mad demon was to echo Li Xin in the distance and ensure that Li Xin would not be attacked at both ends, for this purpose, he didn't mind how many people the forbidden army killed in this attack.

Speaking of this, Ye Ming shook his head and sighed: "That's it, you shouldn't understand this when I tell you, you go and pack your things now and go back to the capital." ”

This Commander Chong glanced at Ye Ming in astonishment.

"If you are a member of the Zhenbei Army and collide with Shangguan like this, you will already be in a different place at this time."

Ye Shaobao's tone was calm.

"For Chang'an's sake, I won't kill you."

"Give you ten breaths of time, get out."
