Chapter 1755: Bloody Battle

Xue Meng led hundreds of guards, his feet were fast, from the belly of the pass to the lowest floor, turned two stone paths, and got closer and closer to the stone gate, but there was a dead silence over there, which made Xue Meng a little suspicious, there was really someone guarding the stone gate?

He walked in the forefront, reached the corner, raised his hand, signaled everyone behind him to stop, poked his head slightly, and looked at the stone road, but saw that it was dark in the stone road, and the wall fire had been extinguished. ”

The five or six soldiers behind him did not hesitate, holding the big knife, and walked over there in the dark, their steps were very light and cautious, in the dark, the two people walking in front faintly saw a figure flickering in front of them, and immediately shouted: "Yes!" Before the words fell, the arrows sounded, and in the darkness, several sharp arrows had already shot vigorously, and the arrows had no eyes, but one of the sharp arrows pierced the man's throat, and the sound stopped abruptly.

Immediately heard a few screams, several soldiers who came to explore the way, half of them fell in an instant, and the remaining few people retreated quickly like a reflex, Xue Meng saw this, and shouted: "Rush, kill me, those who advance will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be killed!" ”

After finishing speaking, he pulled a soldier next to him, pushed it out, and said sharply: "Kill them all for me, there are not many of them, kill!" ”

The defenders were helpless, they all shouted and cheered, and then several people rushed forward, and the sound of "whoosh" arrows was very fierce, and after a few screams, several more defenders fell to the ground.

"Shieldman!" Xue Meng said sharply: "Where is the shield hand?" ”

The wall of Xigu Pass is high and strong, it is a natural barrier, and it is not good at shield soldiers, there are not many shields in the pass, fortunately, among the soldiers who followed at this moment, there are a few people who took the shield over, heard Xue Meng's call, several soldiers came forward with the shield, this stone road is narrow, the four shield soldiers immediately went hand in hand, the shields were pasted together, forming a shield wall, and then slowly pushed forward.

The crowded soldiers followed behind, and the pikemen followed closely behind the shield-bearers, moving in the direction of the stone gate.

The arrows continued to be fired, and although they were shielded, they fell from time to time in the darkness, and in the midst of a few screams, several people fell.

Seeing the other party approaching, the four Northwest swordsmen in front clenched their knives, their pupils dilated, and seeing that the shield wall was approaching step by step, the arrows could no longer exert much power, and the Northwest Archers immediately changed their bows and drew their swords, leaning forward, in the dark, their eyes were cold, like wolves staring at their prey.

The shield-bearer approached and shouted, and the pikemen behind him had already prepared, and through the gap in the shield, four spears had already pierced fiercely.

The three hundred cavalry who followed Xuanyuan Shengcai this time were the best in the Northwest Army, they were all brave veterans who had experienced a hundred battles, and the four swordsmen who took the lead were the elite of the elite, their sword skills were not weak, and the most important thing was that after countless experiences of blood and fire, their combat experience was extremely rich, and they had long known that in such a narrow place, the opponent's tactics of shielding soldiers in front of pikemen in the back were indispensable, and when the spear-stabbing came, the four of them were all low in the same body, and the spears were pierced from the top of their heads, The four men had already raised their hands, grabbed the spear, and then slashed out with a large knife, cutting the spear through it.

The action was clean and neat, without waiting for the other party to withdraw the broken gun, the four people had already rushed forward, raised their feet and kicked the shield, full of strength, the shield soldiers were caught off guard, only to feel that a force on the shield pushed over, two soldiers couldn't help but take two steps back, the four shields were suddenly disjointed, there was a gap in the shield wall, and the four northwest swordsmen did not hesitate to take out their knives and slashed over.

Thirty soldiers in the Northwest have already saved the heart of death, knowing the importance of this stone gate, everyone knows in their hearts that one more point of support will give them one more point of victory, and eight human walls, each of which will stand up for one more point, will also buy one more point for the future.

Xuanyuan Sheng knew that Ye Jun was bound to face a fierce battle, but at this moment he had no time to think about the battle situation in Shimen, and quickly killed near the organ room along the way, the defenders obviously did not expect that Xuanyuan Sheng would lead the men and horses to kill suddenly, most of them were killed by surprise, in order to prevent the defenders from supporting, Xuanyuan Shengcai divided his troops into four ways, three of which blocked the passage to the organ room, under the absolute disadvantage of the troops, Xuanyuan Shengcai naturally did not have the heart to repel the defenders, as long as he could block the passage, Buying time is a big achievement.

The three roads of men and horses immediately dispersed a hundred troops, and Xuanyuan Sheng led the remaining more than a hundred warriors to the organ room to kill.

As Xuanyuan Shengcai expected, the organ room, as the heart of Xigu Pass, is the place where the most troops are deployed, the road to the organ room is much wider than other places, and the defenders here are also extremely alert, hearing the sound of fighting, knowing that something has happened, the road leading to the organ room is full of defender soldiers, layer upon layer.

Xuanyuan Shengcai was like a fierce tiger, rushing forward, slashing all the way, the armor was covered with blood, even the angular face was also stained with blood, and it looked quite hideous.

The organ room was at the end of the passage, but the passage was crowded with guards, and when they saw Xuanyuan Sheng, they killed him, and the guards rushed over without hesitation.

Xuanyuan Shengcai flew up, stabbed in the head, and killed a soldier in one piece, and several tigers and wolves like northwest soldiers around him immediately rushed up and slashed with a swing of the knife.

Xuanyuan Sheng is very clear that the army has launched a charge to Xigu Pass at the agreed time, for those cavalry who rushed to kill, they have no way to break through Xigu Pass, the only hope is that Xuanyuan Sheng can capture the organ room, open the bronze door, if you can't break into the organ room, then the cavalry rushing to the pass will inevitably suffer losses in the eyes, and the plan that was painstakingly designed before will also be in vain.

At any cost, you have to kill the organ room and open the bronze door.

The sword light is like electricity, the training is very good, Xuanyuan Shengcai led the warriors under his command, step by step to the organ room, every step forward, is the price of blood, although the defenders are killed and injured, but the warriors around Xuanyuan Shengcai are also falling one after another, whenever a soldier falls, there are soldiers from behind immediately stepping on the corpses of their companions and filling up.

The Northwest soldiers swore to take the organ room, and the defenders of the organ room, in the end, training, for them, the organ room is more important than their lives, that is, they must defend it to the death.

Both sides did not back down and fought hard.

The people in the pass had already fled to the east like a flood, and the defender camp more than ten miles away had already noticed the changes in Xigu Pass.

There are more than 2,000 defenders stationed in the camp, many of them have fallen asleep, and the commander of the camp is Cheng Yishi, one of the three major generals under the command of Da Xizhang, and the sound of the horn of Xigu Pass has already alarmed him, and he immediately climbed the watchtower, and saw the figure of Xigu Pass flickering in the distance, and the people in the pass are rushing to the east like a tide.

He knew that something had happened in the pass, but according to the military law of the defenders, without the order of Xi Zhang, the soldiers and horses stationed in the camp must not act rashly.

As one of the three major generals of Xigu Pass, Cheng Yishi naturally thought that this was the Northwest Army launching a surprise attack on Xigu Pass, and he naturally didn't know that Xuanyuan Shengcai led three hundred cavalry, which had become a sharp sword in the belly of the pass.

Although the sound of the horn was low and urgent, Cheng Yishi was taken aback at first, but he soon thought that with the strength of Xigu Pass, even if the Northwest Army poured out, it would be in vain.

Nevertheless, he did not go down from the watchtower, but gave the order that the defenders of the camp immediately assemble and be ready to go to the pass at any time to support, and he himself stayed on the watchtower and looked in the direction of the pass.

The cavalry at the front of the Northwest Cavalry was already getting closer and closer to Xigu Pass, and He Changqing immediately gave an order, and the archers fired ten thousand arrows to shoot the approaching Northwest Cavalry.

The tactics of the defenders of the West Valley Pass have always been mainly defensive, so a large number of stones and bows and arrows needed for catapults were hoarded in the pass.

After Da Xizhang served as the chief general of the guard, the main thing was to train the archery skills of the defenders, and Xiguguan had a very large number of archers after years of hard training.

At this juncture, hundreds of archers lined up, the bow pulled the full moon, He Changqing gave an order, and the arrows rained down.

The galloping Northwest Cavalry, in the high-speed sprint, from time to time a soldier was shot by random arrows and fell down from his horse.

Arrows and stones were mixed together, and the mourning of horses and the screams of cavalry in the Northwest Army continued to be heard.

When Xuanyuan Shengcai rushed to the organ room desperately, Ye Jun and other Northwest warriors guarding the stone gate were under great pressure, although the Northwest soldiers were very brave, but in Xue Meng's shouts, the defenders were also struggling to rush towards the stone gate, and after the four swordsmen in the front killed several people, they were already lying in a pool of blood, and the four soldiers in the second column, three of them had already been pierced through the body by spears, and the remaining one was waving his sword freely, roaring loudly, and the third column of soldiers behind him had already rushed forward, Swing your knife and slash.

Ye Jun knew that this kind of fight was completely a drain on the number of people, the opponent's strength was far superior to his side, with the passage of time, the people on his side fell one after another, and in the end they couldn't support it after all, he only hoped that Xuanyuan Sheng could quickly open the copper door at this time, as long as the copper door was opened, the army entered the passage, and he could defend until the reinforcements arrived, which was considered a great success.

Of course, Xuanyuan Shengcai also knew that time was human life at this time, he slashed forward regardless of a qiē, and a spear stabbed him in the shoulder, but he did not hesitate to cut off the spear, allowing the spear head to remain on his shoulder, in the aisle, the corpses were piled up horizontally, at this time he led more than 100 soldiers, more than 20 people had been killed and wounded, and the defenders were even more severely injured.

The organ room was not far ahead, but the crowded guards in the aisle blocked the way.

"Da Xizhang has been killed by me!" Xuanyuan Shengcai shouted loudly while slashing and killing: "The Northwest Army has also been killed to Xigu Pass, you still have to continue to resist, it can only be in vain, put down the weapons in your hands, open the gate, I guarantee that you will all have a heavy reward!" ”
