When Wu Tianjiao led his direct army to approach Tianyuan City, the other two armies, Princess Wude and Sarui, and Mingguang's independent third army, also progressed smoothly, and they penetrated from the east and west sides to Tianyuan City. They formed a three-legged double-teamed force with Wu Tianjiao's direct army, and opened a siege against Tianyuan City.
The main force of the Independent Army entered Tianyuan County to fight, and was unstoppable. He went east and was about to siege Tianyuan City. On the other side, the 50,000 assault army led by Wu Shouxin and Luochuan were far from so smooth. It was not because it encountered an enemy's blockade, but because it was too difficult to cross Tianxue Mountain.
Traveling through the Warcraft Forest, due to the guidance of the Forest Yi tribe, although they were still attacked by many Warcraft on the way, only dozens of people were killed or killed in the 50,000 assault army.
But it is different to cross the Tianxue Mountains, and the assault army has been severely tested
The vast snowy mountains are steep and the climate is severe. Many places are icy and snowy, and the snow does not melt all year round. Among the ever-gone mountains and ridges, five thousand elite pioneers have selected, with shovels, hoes, axes, machetes and other tools to open the mountain and cut the road, break through the thorns, and in the barren wild land, they cut a passage for the army to cut a path forward.
In front of them, there were continuous snow peaks after snow, as if they were endless
The cold weather is secondly. What is terrible is that all kinds of monsters are rampant in the mountains and forests. Every grass and every cave may hide a deadly murderous intent.
Although the assault army had 50,000, there were continuous attacks on the war beasts during the march, and casualties were rising sharply.
When encountering medium and low-level monsters, the Assault Army is not afraid. Even high-level monsters have the power to fight. However, some monsters do not know what level they are and cannot be named. Their appearance is creepy. Even the most experienced forest barbarians must be afraid when they see them and take a detour.
The mountain road is rugged, and some areas have no roads, and they are completely vertical and steep cliffs. People can only be hung up by pounding ropes. Some areas are so dangerous that there is only a place less than half a foot on the edge of the abyss.
Without the suspension bridges built by the previous vanguard troops and the simple small bridges paved with wooden boards, many areas are simply unpassable.
Unable to set up camp and rest. Despite the embarrassment, poverty and hunger, the army is still full of fighting spirit and spirit
The soldiers were exhausted and hungry, but none of them complained about the slander.
Because the commander of the entire army suffered with them
During the march, Wu Shouxin, who was the commander of the entire army, was like an ordinary soldier. He marches over hundreds of kilograms of food and weapons, and crossed one mountain after another with his back.
Not only that, he also has to perform his duties as a commander. He urged the troops to go on a night's journey, and he arranged everything in big and small matters properly.
How can a general who can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and share the hardships without being protected by the soldiers
Wu Shouxin's actions moved the soldiers, and at the same time they also produced strong cohesion, which made the assault army still condense but not disperse in such a difficult and dangerous environment, and their morale was rising.
After more than a month of asceticism in Tianxue Mountains, 50,000 assault soldiers were considered to be in the cold ice and snow areas, and gradually saw the green green mountains.
At this time, count the number of people, the number of people in the assault army has been reduced by more than 1,000, most of which have been attacked by monsters or fallen down a cliff and killed them.
There are still mountains in front of you, but the journey to Xuelong Pass is not far. As long as you pass through the last mountain range in front of you, you can reach Xuelong Pass.
At this time, Luo Chuan suggested to Wu Shouxin that the entire army should be stationed and rested, and make some adjustments before marching. After all, the soldiers below were too tired.
Wu Shouxin shook his head and expressed his opposition. The soldiers are very quick and cannot delay. Moreover, during the march, the most feared thing for the soldiers is to rest in the middle, which leads to the depletion of momentum. They must make a concerted effort to reach their destination.
After hearing Wu Shouxin's words, Luo Chuan smiled bitterly. His army had just walked out of the ice and snow area and was about to march non-stop. Even if he could successfully reach Xuelong Pass, he would become a tired army. How could he still attack the city?
More than two months ago, the assault army was in full swing and full of personnel. Now, the soldiers were all pale and thin, with crooked clothes and slanted armor. Many soldiers were trembling when walking, and they were all covered in dust. If there weren't flags in the army, they would be almost the same as refugees who fled to famine.
The marches from the assault army through the Warcraft Forest and Tianxue Mountains are unprecedented in the dangerous and difficult journey.
Even Wu Shouxin recalled the danger several years later, he couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, more than 40,000 assault soldiers withstood the test and successfully crossed the Warcraft Forest and Tianxue Mountain.
This is Reina's strategy to take a detour to attack Xuelong Pass
Marching is difficult, but these more than 40,000 assault troops have indeed played the role of surprises. The Shura Army stationed at Xuelong Pass would never have dreamed that so many independent troops would suddenly appear under the city.
The danger of Xuelong Pass is rare in the world. The land is between two mountains. If you attack the city, you can only attack from both sides of the east and west, which reduces the huge burden on defense.
Since Xuelong Pass was originally a fortress in the northern border, the city defense has always been strong in the west and weak in the east. The city wall on the west is more than ten feet high and more than five feet thick, while the city wall on the east is less than six feet thick, and the thickness is less than three feet.
After the Shura Empire occupied Xuelong Pass, it has been strengthening and increasing the city defense on the east side, but the progress is relatively slow. After all, a large area of land east of Xuelong Pass, and the entire northern border has already belonged to the territory of the Shura Empire, and Xuelong Pass has become the inner city of the Shura Empire.
Now the Shura Empire uses Xuelong Pass as a transit station, which stocks up a large amount of materials and food and money plundered from the northern border for the Shura Army stationed in Xitian County.
After the assault army approached Xuelong Pass, Wu Shouxin did not immediately issue an order to attack. While he asked the soldiers to stay in the mountains to rest and rectify, he sent scouts to Xuelong Pass to find out the news and explore the situation inside and outside Xuelong Pass.
Soon, the scouts contacted the Tianluo secret spy who had been lurking near Xuelong Pass and sent back many important news about Xuelong Pass one by one.
Originally, there were 30,000 Shura defenders stationed in Xuelong Pass, but the war in the northern border was tight. The Shura defenders here were adjusted again and again, and almost all were drawn. Currently, there are only 8,000 Shura defenders stationed in Xuelong Pass. The guard general is named Han Ye, who is a brave and good at fighting.
On the northwest side of Xuelong Pass, there is also a military fortress called Shalongkou. There are more than 3,000 Shura Army stationed here, forming a horn with Xuelong Pass, which can play a role in defense.
After hearing the scout's reward, Wu Shouxin nodded secretly. It seemed that the Shura Empire still attached great importance to Xuelong Pass and did not trust the surrendered destiny general Jin Ji and his son. He transferred him away and replaced him with a pure Shura general.
The defense of Xuelong Pass is also very complete. If your army attacks head-on, the Shura army in the Killing Dragon mouth will inevitably attack you from the flanks, which will lead to chaos in the central army of your side. At that time, the Shura army in the Xuelong Pass will come out again. If your side fails to attack the city, it will be annihilated by the enemy.
At this time, Luo Chuan grinned and said: The Fortress of the Dragonkou is on the northwest side of Xuelong Pass, which is very close to our army! Wu Shouxin, I think we can be surprised and destroy the Shura Army in the Dragonkou and occupy the Dragonkou before we talk about it!
Wu Shouxin gave him a blank look and asked: What is the purpose of our army taking a dangerous road and circling to Xuelong Pass? It is to seize Xuelong Pass and kill Longkou first, then our army's journey will definitely be exposed. In this way, there is no point in taking a detour!
Luo Chuan said unconvincedly: Don’t we kill Longkou? Such a fortress is near Xuelong Pass. If our army directly attacks Xuelong Pass, what should we do if the Shura army, who kills Longkou, come up from the flank strike?
Wu Shouxin was silent. Luo Chuan's questioning was exactly where he was embarrassed to leave Kill Longkou. It was a huge hidden danger to his own siege. If he attacked Kill Longkou, his own traits would be exposed.
This fortress is really annoying! Like its name, kill the dragon mouth, kill the red dragon or kill the dragon clan?
After pondering for a long time, Wu Shouxin asked the scout captain again: Who is the guardian who kills Longkou? How is he? What is his relationship with the guardian of Xuelong Pass, Han Ye?
When he returned to the general, the guard who killed Longkou was Moro. He was Han Ye's cousin. The relationship between the two was naturally extraordinary. As for human nature, Moro was far inferior to his cousin Han Ye. He was cruel, both greedy and lustful. Since he was transferred to Xuelong Pass, he has plundered everywhere, robbed money and robbed food. The people all over Xuelong Pass suffered greatly, and the people were living in poverty!
This is how Ah! Wu Shouxin's eyes rolled, and he was silent for a moment. He suddenly smiled and said leisurely: So good! So good!
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals around were stunned. The people near Xuelong Pass were bullied by Shura people, so why is it so good?
Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Shouxin with a squinted look. Although he didn't say it, his eyes had already conveyed his meaning very clearly. Are you a human being? Are you talking about human beings?
Wu Shouxin smiled and said confidently: I have a plan to easily get the Xuelong Pass!
Oh! Luo Chuan was excited and asked: How to get it?
Wu Shouxin looked at Luo Chuan, changed his tone and asked with a slight contemptuous tone: Everyone said that General Luo is brave enough to be defeated by ten thousand men. Taking the heads of the enemy general in front of the two armies is like taking objects out of their pockets. I think this is a bit exaggerated. General Luo is far from so brave, right?
How fart you are!
Luo Chuan was so angry that when he heard this, his black face turned red. With Wu Shouxin's smug look, he was even more angry. He slapped the table suddenly, stood up, and cursed: Wu Shouxin, if your Highness had not ordered you to be the commander, I heard you fart here, I would have slashed you with one knife!
The main force of the Independent Army entered Tianyuan County to fight, and was unstoppable. He went east and was about to siege Tianyuan City. On the other side, the 50,000 assault army led by Wu Shouxin and Luochuan were far from so smooth.
