Chapter 527, Surprise Attack on Jiayu Pass
The Great Wall was specially built by the Central Plains Dynasty to defend against the southward invasion of northern nomads, and she was like a winding dragon, entrenched in the land of China.
The Great Wall stretches from Jiayuguan in the west to Shanhaiguan in the east, running through most of the territory of northern China, guarding the agricultural civilization in the south of China.
The sons and daughters of China have always regarded the Great Wall as the patron saint of Chinese civilization, but in fact, many people do not know whether the Great Wall is continuous or not.
In fact, the Great Wall in China can be divided into two parts.
One part is the Great Wall east of Helan Mountain, and part is the Great Wall west of Helan Mountain.
The Yellow River began to divert from Zhongning to the north, along the Helan Mountains to the Yinshan area, then diverted again to the east, and when it flowed to the Daqingshan area, it was again diverted to the south, and finally at Xuehua Mountain, it was diverted to the east again and flowed into the sea.
Because of the existence of the Yellow River, the construction of the Great Wall to the bank of the Yellow River was interrupted.
To the east of Helan Mountain, except for some special places, the continuity of the Great Wall is very good, and her continuous branch continues to Shanhaiguan and then directly into the sea.
To the west of Helan Mountain, because of the existence of high mountains and large deserts such as Qilian Mountain, Heli Mountain, and Longshou Mountain, the Great Wall there is segmented, mainly concentrated at the junction of several mountain ranges and deserts.
If the Yellow River were to be used as the dividing line, then the Great Wall in the area east of Lanzhou could be called almost flawless.
The forbidden sky realm, coupled with the natural danger of the Yellow River, and the city wall built on a high mountain ridge, it is difficult for the enemy to cross easily.
But the Great Wall west of Lanzhou is not so perfect. Because they are intermittent, and many of the walls are built on flat ground, the height is very limited, so it leaves infinite possibilities for the enemy.
The people Ning Yuan brought over this time were all cavalry, so he didn't have any idea about the areas south of the Yellow River and east of it, and his real purpose was those areas west of the Hetao Plain.
After the main force led by Bai Yutang arrived at the Hetao Plain, Ning Yuan left a part of the cavalry to blockade the cities on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then led the army up the Yellow River until it reached Gansu.
Just when people thought that Ning Yuan would besiege Jingtai City, Ning Yuan quietly threw down his army and disappeared into the vast desert with 50,000 wolf cavalry and 50,000 owl warriors.
While people's attention was focused on the Condor Army outside Jingtai City, Ning Yuan led an army of 100,000 to successfully cross the Badain Jaran Desert and come to the banks of the Heihe River.
After a short period of repairs, they sailed upriver along the Heihe River and successfully attacked the Great Wall beacon tower on the west bank of the Heihe River at night.
After quietly eliminating the few defenders there, the Condor Army successfully entered the interior of the Great Wall defense system from Jiayuguan to Jinchangduan.
Since the Great Wall has its own forbidden air domain, the owl warriors are no different from the wasted people near the Great Wall, so Ning Yuan immediately chose to divide his troops to attack.
He asked the Owl Legion to attack Jiuquan City, and he himself led the wolf cavalry along the passage on the city wall to kill all the way to Jiayu Pass.
......
Jiayuguan is known as the reputation of the world's first Xiongguan, is the westernmost pass of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, has been called the throat of Hexi in history, because of the dangerous terrain, the building is majestic, there is the name of the lock and key of the link.
At the height of the orc disaster in Huaxia, it was through Jiayu Pass that players were able to resist the attack of the Linhai Empire established by the Tiger People.
If the Jiayu Pass could not be breached, the tigers of the Linhai Empire would not be able to advance eastward, because it would be impossible for them to transport logistical supplies to the front across a large desert.
After hitting their heads and bleeding under the walls of Jiayuguan, the tigers had to turn their eyes to Kazakhstan to the west.
Although the tigers no longer have the idea of fighting Jiayuguan, the players still have a regular garrison of 100,000 in Jiayuguan.
It's just that with the passage of time, the garrison in the city is no longer as conscientious as before.
Because they could not leave the city, they ate and drank every day, and passed the time by playing cards and some games, in addition to their daily patrols.
Fortresses are always breached from within. Although Jiayu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is external, and if it is mixed into the interior by the enemy, then all its appearances will suddenly become useless decorations.
Since the defenders in Jiayu Pass never dreamed that the enemy would suddenly appear from the inside, when Ning Yuan led the wolf cavalry to rush all the way along the city wall to Jiayu Pass, they did not react.
If it weren't for a few players who were in a hurry to release water and happened to see the defenders on the city wall being killed, I am afraid that they would only wake up when the enemy killed them.
With the sound of the gong, the news of the enemy attack immediately spread throughout the entire Xiongguan.
Many players walked out of the room with a lot of scolding and reluctance, thinking that an enemy had come from outside the city, not knowing that the enemy had come from the rear all the way along the passage in the city walls.
With such a large-scale operation, Ning Yuan didn't want to hide from the enemy at all, and after he led the wolf cavalry to get off the city wall, he directly killed the enemy in the city.
Although their raids along the way were very effective, and they did not let any of the beacons light the beacons, because the width of the passages on the city walls was really limited, they could only rush forward one by one.
When Ning Yuan led the wolf cavalry at the head into Jiayuguan City, the wolf cavalry at the end of the platoon was still dozens of kilometers away.
Although they were caught off guard by the defenders in the city, they were temporarily on the weaker side in terms of numbers, so he had to stop the enemy from gathering and buy time for the wolf cavalry in the rear.
"It's Ning Yuan,, isn't he in Jingtai City? How did you come to us? ”
"Ning Yuan came in, and the brothers rushed with me and killed this rabbit cub."
......
The sharp-eyed players immediately rushed over after seeing Ning Yuan.
Although they didn't know how Ning Yuan appeared here, it didn't affect their willingness to kill him.
Although the players in Jiayu Pass were very loose during this time, it was mainly because the Linhai Empire did not pose any threat to them.
Now that Ning Yuan suddenly entered the city with the wolf cavalry, they immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Jiayuguan must not be lost in their hands, so at this time, either Ning Yuan dies or they die.
The players only saw the wolf cavalry rushing down from the walls, and they didn't know exactly how many enemies were coming.
In order to keep Jiayu Pass, while fighting bloodily, they also sent fast horses to ask for help from the defenders of Jiuquan.
