Thousands of butter torches illuminated the entire front of the pass as bright as day, and the black-pressed soldiers lined up in a standard battle formation, advancing slowly in turn according to the number of the troops. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe neat and orderly marching procession, the bright swords and guns, the full momentum, and the attitude of ignoring death, all show that this is a steel army.

One after another, the huge trapezoidal siege engines, the towering and sturdy mobile arrow towers are covered with raw cowhide and fireproof paint to prevent enemy rocket attacks, and the inside is full of soldiers with strong bows, and the mobile trebuchets set up on the heavy vehicles are followed by one stone bullet supply cart after another, and the huge and powerful bed crossbow on the nine-bow bed ballista has opened its hideous bowstring, as thick as the finger bison tendon string tells you how far its range will be, all of this is slowly pushed by the soldiers to the front line, gradually approaching the majestic city wall。

Seeing the dense sea of guns and halberds in front of her, Claudia did not have any joy and relief in her heart. Originally, it was not planned that Li Wufeng would be allowed to return to the northwest in such a short period of time, which had a great impact on the military operations in Taixuan Mansion. Once the situation in the northwest is stable, the army in the northwest may rapidly advance eastward, and not only will the plan to take Taixuanfu fail, but the gains and losses of Jiayuguan will also become a problem.

But now the time is not ripe, Claudia does not dare to urge the shadows arranged by his side to launch in a hurry, otherwise once they fail, maybe the Kaman people will lose the opportunity to capture Jiayuguan forever, and they will feel guilty for this for a lifetime, so Claudia can only ignore the losses, keep issuing orders, increase the intensity of the attack, and create an opportunity for his killer plan to be fully implemented as much as possible.

The commanders of the front line kept arranging the assembled attacking teams according to the best attack formation, and began to attack the towering city walls. The catapults also began to shoot boulders and crossbow arrows at the defenders on the city wall frantically, and the soldiers who maintained it nervously but skillfully installed and debugged these heavy siege equipment, and then installed and debugged them, striving to achieve the best results, and the stones and arrows flying in the sky flew towards the soldiers on the city wall one after another, and from time to time the soldiers screamed and fell from the wall tower, and suddenly fell into flesh.

At the same time, the soldiers also spread out according to the way of attack, or clustered siege vehicles and arrow towers, or held high folding ladders, shouted, and quickly swarmed up, and a tragic offensive and defensive battle began.

Standing on the tower of the city and coldly watching the Kaman army attacking frantically under the city, Shen Jin, the commander-in-chief of the defending side of Jiayuguan ---- the commander of the first garrison division of Taixuanfu, appeared calm and calm. After many offensive battles between the Kaman and Sithro armies, he was no stranger to the enemy's set, but some new situations still caught his attention.

First, the enemy launched an offensive on both the north and south fronts at the same time, and the combat effectiveness of the troops invested was also unusually strong, which greatly increased the pressure on his own side; second, the enemy army prepared a large number of advanced siege equipment, such as arrow towers and a new generation of siege vehicles, which posed a great threat to the side that was on the defensive; in the past few days since the start of the war, as soon as the moat was filled, the number of casualties among the soldiers on his side rose rapidly, and more than 1,000 people were killed during the day today aloneSmall fortifications were built not far from both sides of the city wall, and a large number of crossbowmen and spearmen were arranged, which were the natural nemesis of cavalry, in order to prevent their own side from using cavalry for assault.

But this is only a superficial phenomenon, Shen Jin clearly knows, the enemy's commander also knows, even if the enemy Zhan has such a big advantage, but it is far from enough to take Jiayu Pass. Nearly 80,000 people in the city have been concentrated and armed, ready to go to combat posts at any time, relying on this naturally powerful defense system, even if the Kaman people double their strength, they may not be able to succeed. But it was precisely because of this that Shen Jin was even more suspicious of what kind of conspiracy the enemy army would have?

The grand farewell banquet finally ended, and it was finally time to leave, Wu Feng packed up his mind and left the mansion with some reluctance. In order to strengthen all aspects of intelligence and information work in Yanjing, Wu Feng also set up a special intelligence agency in Yanjing, which is under the control of Gu Ji, and the specific work is in charge of Bao Xuecheng, who graduated from the intelligence major of the Northwest Military Academy, and Xiao Willy will return to the northwest with Wu Feng, Wu Feng hopes that he can enter the Northwest Military Academy for further study, and he attaches great importance to Xiao Willy's talent in intelligence. Charlotte naturally followed Wu Feng away, although the relationship between the two was not clear, Wu Feng was used to Charlotte's culinary taste, and even Qin Gu's second daughter was full of praise for Charlotte's culinary skills.

After holding a grand engagement ceremony with the seventeenth princess, seeing Angel who was a little lost and sad, Wu Feng secretly made an appointment with Duke Marco, the patriarch of the Huey family, and officially proposed that he hoped to enter into a marriage contract with Angel, Duke Marco naturally agreed, and Angel was also overjoyed, and the two sides exchanged tokens according to the habits of the Tanghe people, and at the same time, Wufeng also asked Duke Marco to understand the pain of not disclosing his marriage contract with Angel for the time being, and hoped to get the support of the Huey family in Yanjing.

Although the two sides did not sign a written treaty, they agreed that the economic interests of the Huey family in the northwest and northern Luzon would be fully guaranteed and that the Huey family would help Wufeng collect intelligence information on the northern part of the empire and Yanjing Zhongzhou, and Duke Marco even provided a list of officials from all over the empire who were close to the Huey family, hoping to help Wufeng.

The most reluctant thing for Wufeng is the three princesses of Yuejing, since the three princesses came to visit, the relationship between several people has been greatly improved, and the contacts have become closer and closer, the general bright and moving, Li Qingke is quiet and elegant, Li Qingshi is cold and arrogant, Li Qingyun is lively and pure, and the image of the three flower-like beauties is deeply imprinted on Wufeng's heart version. The three beauties' perception of Wu Feng has also been greatly improved, Wu Feng's humorous conversation, the intimidating momentum revealed by his gestures, and his sincere and generous grace have all made the three girls excited.

Especially Li Qingshi and Li Qingyun, although they know that their eldest sister has been fond of Wufeng for a long time, but Wufeng's peerless demeanor is still like a magnet firmly attracting the second daughter, making the second daughter both contradictory and uneasy, Wufeng's performance also makes the girls fall into the fog, the general enthusiasm and politeness, the general thoughtfulness and generosity, from time to time to invite one of the three daughters to either go to the Fenghua Poetry Garden as a guest, or go to the Imperial National Theater to see the song and dance, or go to the scenic spots in the suburbs to step on the green, which makes the three daughters surprise inexplicably, but Wu Feng has never officially revealed his emotional tendencies, which also makes the three girls depressed。

It wasn't until the news of Wu Feng's engagement with the seventeenth princess of the empire spread that the three daughters were heartbroken, but Wu Feng's special visit after the engagement seemed to have ignited a flame of hope for the already desperate three daughters, and they also knew the customs and habits of the imperial nobles in marriage, which made them all have great expectations.
