Chapter Nine Hundred and Twenty Five

All the warriors and horses are elite.

Their horses are the top horses that eat royal horse rations.

The horses traveled thousands of miles a day and rested the next day. After running thousands of miles, on the thirteenth day of the eighth lunar month in Jisheng, the reinforcements arrived at Lumen Pass.

There were 20,000 iron cavalry, and the battle armor on their bodies reflected the cold light in the sun, but it was hard to hide the dust and exhaustion on their bodies.

...

"It's reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"Lumenguan is saved!"

"Woooooo! Mother!"

"Xiaodie, if I can go back alive, next year today will be the wedding night for you and me!"

Someone cried and wanted a bridal chamber.

"When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming in the coming year, it will be the time for me, Song Batian, to return to my hometown!"

Some people are very simple and just want to go home.

...

Seeing the 20,000 elite Shenwu troops coming to help from Qingdu, and the officers and soldiers guarding the Lumen Gate, everyone was very excited, men and women hugged each other, weeping bitterly together.

A man doesn't flick his tears easily, but he doesn't reach the sad point.

After verifying the identity of the reinforcements, the young city lord of Lumenguan, Ling Yunzhi, knelt down in front of General Shenwu with trembling hands.

"The guard of Lumen Gate, Ling Yunzhi, see General Shenwu!"

They naturally have to fully verify the identity of the reinforcements.

If someone pretends to be a Shenwu army, and he foolishly opens the back door to let the enemy enter the city, then Ling Yunzhi will really become a sinner through the ages, even if he commits suicide and apologizes, he will have no face to see his father in Jiuquanxia.

Twenty thousand people hurried into the city.

The city gate was closed again.

After Lumen Pass, there is a canyon natural moat, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But before the deer gate closes,

But it is a plain area with both offense and defense.

If the situation is evenly matched, the plains are suitable for horse raids. Once the city gate is opened, the cavalry will attack and leave with one blow, which is convenient for guerrilla warfare.

But at a disadvantage, the location of Lumen Pass is a bit embarrassing.

...

The news that General Shenwu arrived at Lumen Pass with 20,000 elite troops spread throughout the Lumen Pass in almost an hour, not to mention overnight.

City Lord Ling has always suspected that there is an eyeliner placed by the other party in the city, so he has kept the city gate tightly closed and set up a bow and arrow defense net in the air to prevent any news from leaking to the enemy.

The troops stationed in Dongwang camped and defended 20 miles outside Lumen Pass, and built a defensive line.

The confrontation between the two parties has been going on for more than several months, and they have come and gone with each other, so they are considered to be familiar with each other.

City Lord Ling originally wanted to set up a temporary camp in the city first, and settle down a total of 20,000 soldiers to let them rest for a while.

But the gray-haired General Shenwu snorted coldly: "There is no reason to rest in front of the enemy! Quickly call all the generals to discuss the important matter of annihilating the enemy!"

Xia Xiaoman, who disguised herself as a man, temporarily acted as the lieutenant general of General Shenwu, she also nodded with a calm face: "The news that we have arrived at Lumen Pass has not yet spread, so we can take this opportunity to counter-attack the enemy and catch him by surprise. !"

"Hahaha!" General Shenwu, who was scolding Ling Yunzhi with a sullen face, couldn't help laughing when he heard Xia Xiaoman's witty words: "Well said!! Kill the opponent... a wave!"

Ling Yunzhi didn't notice the lieutenant beside General Shenwu at first.

Look at the thin skin and tender flesh, it seems that they have never been on the battlefield.

But when the lieutenant general took off his helmet and spoke aloud, Ling Yunzhi suddenly felt that the white-faced young general looked familiar.

Ling Yunzhi met Xia Xiaoman... when she was a child.

Back then, Xia Xiaoman called her brother-in-law in a childish voice, chased after Ling Yunzhi's buttocks and said, "My second sister's golden cabbage is so good, how could it be kicked by a pig?" Yunyun.

After four years, Xia Xiaoman has grown up a lot, and wearing armor with her hair tied up in a bun, making Ling Yunzhi never think about the eldest princess.

Furthermore, the news of Xia Xiaoman's death spread throughout the circle, Ling Yunzhi thought Xia Xiaoman was dead for a long time.

...

...

Temporary combat tents were temporarily set up under the city wall.

Ling Yunzhi didn't dare to delay, and went to battle himself, which took a short time.

Xia Xiaoman, General Shenwu, several partial generals, and Ling Yunzhi's confidantes held a secret battle meeting in the battle tent.

meeting.

Ling Yunzhi pointed to more than a dozen red circles on the map: "We have already identified all the enemy's garrison points, and estimated that the troops of the King Zhudong who have fallen outside Lumen Pass are about 80,000. Later, our army resisted tenaciously and fought several large-scale battles with the Eastern King's army on the plain, each of them was at the expense of each other."

The others didn't speak, and Ling Yunzhi quickly outlined the current situation at Lumen Pass: "Originally, Lumen Pass could not last that long, but just last month, the final general noticed that the enemy was dispatching troops on a large scale, and sent troops to In the southeast, the general found out that something was wrong, and immediately sent scouts to inquire about the news, and found that it was in this place..."

Ling Yunzhi tapped lightly a few times in the southeastern area where rivers and plains meet: "The army of King Zhennan and the army of King Zhudong are fighting here. King Zhudong seems to think that the Battle of Lumenguan is a sure thing to win." Now that we are in control, we will allocate part of our troops to attack the King of Zhennan."

"And the latest attack on the city was three days ago. The army stationed in Dongwang brought thousands of ladders from the supply line behind them, trying to forcibly climb the city. In the end, I used fire oil to deal with it, and I managed it for the time being."

Ling Yunzhi pointed to the red barracks point again, with an inconspicuous dotted line on the back, showing shame: "The general believes that the supply line of the Eastern King's Army should be here, but the general's scouts can't get close."

aside.

Xia Xiaoman, who had been silent all this time, frowned when Ling Yunzhi paused, and asked, "Why can't you get close?"

"In the enemy army, it seems that there are mysterious monks helping out. At the key position of the supply line, the opponent has set up a mechanism. The scouts of the last general were found when they got close. So far, there are twenty-three scouts in the deep part of the enemy army. .”

I see.

The new reinforcements, including General Shenwu, Xia Xiaoman, and General Shenwu's confidant, all had a preliminary understanding of the situation at Lumen Pass.

The battle report sent to Qingdu was vague, far less clear than that of visiting the scene in person.

Ling Yunzhi was able to guard the Lumen Pass for several months, keeping the Lumen Pass from falling, which is already a great achievement without any fault.

The Eastern King and the Western King are different. The eastern region he occupies is near the sea, rich and fertile, and has accumulated unimaginable financial resources over the years. Once a war started, it was all about money and people. Now the army stationed in Dongwang dragged to attack Lumen Pass may be just the tip of the iceberg of the troops he has.

After several months of consumption before the Lumen Pass, less than half of the 80,000 elite stationed in the East King was consumed, leaving about 60,000 people, which is also an extremely terrifying number.

"In Lumen Pass, how many elite soldiers are left that can fight?"

General Shenwu didn't ask this question before, because after entering Lumen Pass, he saw countless wounded soldiers. Some tents couldn't even accommodate them, and the wounded soldiers at Lumenguan could only recuperate outside the tents wrapped in blood-stained gauze.

It can be seen from this that if the Shenwu Army does not come again, it will only be a matter of time before the crucial Lumen Pass is captured by the King Zhudong.

When General Shenwu issued a soul torture,

Ling Yunzhi lowered his head, his face darkened, and faltered out a number: "Five, five, five..."

"Fifty thousand?" General Shenwu was stunned for a moment, instinctively disbelieving.

This is impossible.

With a force of 50,000, plus the 20,000 strong men of the Shenwu Army who are full of murderous spirits and full of evil fire along the way, they can directly rub shit out of the opposite side, and they still need to hide in the city without moving, desperately Waiting for support?

Ling Yunzhi shook his head helplessly.

Xia Xiaoman: "Five thousand?"

Ten times the difference in strength, this is very hopeless.

Ling Yunzhi took a deep breath and raised his head again: "Five hundred! The wounded in Lumen Pass are exhausted physically and mentally, and the bones of the dead are already cold, but there are only five hundred elites who can really mount their horses and fight normally!"

"This is the last elite soldier of my Lumen Pass!"
