After the Fairy Disappeared Chapter 437

  The military horses have been brushed, fed and rested for a while, and they are as energetic as people.

  Each person is provided with three days of dry food, three days of clean water, two horses, and the army is lightly loaded and has no luggage.

   Not only did he have to run hundreds of miles, but he also had to sneak attack the capital of Xixiang and take down the opposing monarch.

  There is no other way but to be quick.

  The Crown Prince of Xiyu Kingdom is inspecting the new robes he wore when he ascended the throne.

  An old minister came to persuade him that the flames of Longmao Pass had ignited twice, fearing that there was an enemy secretly intruding, and they wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's grand ceremony to plot something wrong.

  Hu Yanzhao asked him: "Then what do you say?"

   "It is better to postpone the grand ceremony." This one is also honest.

  Hu Yanzhao's face turned black instantly.

  Who doesn't know that nights have long dreams? After his father was gone, he looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to tomorrow's ascension to the throne, but this old thing asked him to postpone it?

  「Then tell me, when will it be postponed?」

  The veteran hesitated for a moment: "Put it off for a few days, and Xishan will be fine."

   "If it is postponed for a few days, when I am about to be crowned, the flames will spontaneously ignite again, what do you say?" Hu Yanzhao said coldly, "Should I postpone it?"

  「Those wild monkeys at Longhou Pass set fire to me, so I have to postpone my position? Huh?」

  You tell any prince that you want him to be crowned king a few days later, see if he can do it?

   "It doesn't matter how many days there is no king in the Xijin Kingdom, as long as the west side can't stand the fire, right?"

  A series of questions choked the veteran to the ground.

   "The meaning of Weichen is that Longmao Pass will send more people..."

"Sure, Dragon Throat Pass will send more people." Hu Yanzhao waved him back, all of them only know how to add to the trouble, but don't know how to share his worries, "Come and send an order! Tomorrow, inside and outside the city, inside and outside the palace, Strictly guard! If there is a mistake, come and see me!"

  The guards outside responded, so the order was passed down layer by layer.

  Wei Wei called his Lang Guan over: "Tomorrow, inside and outside the city, inside and outside the palace, double the vigilance, otherwise the only price is to ask!"

  Lang Guan also called his subordinates over: "Dian strictly controls access and dispatches additional manpower, and you are the only one to ask for dereliction of duty!"

   It spread all the way to Chengmenlang, and Shangfeng ordered him face to face: "...Otherwise, you are the only one to ask!" Then he left.

  But the grand ceremony is just around the corner, and the security plan is already very strict. Everyone has a place to go, so where do we need to double it? After much deliberation at the gate of the city, Lang sent an additional group of patrolling guards.

  The next day, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled.

  From the beginning to the end, it was smooth and smooth, without any moths.

  Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  Suo Ye, there is wind but no moon.

  In the past few days, the bow and snake shadow, the attention of the sentinel at Longmao Pass has been on the beacon tower, almost subconsciously looking back after walking a few steps, lest there is something wrong.

  People's energy is limited, if they look too closely at the back, they neglect the front. None of the three noticed that a team was slowly approaching in the dark.

   And the two outposts more than a hundred feet away from Longmao Pass did not warn at all.

  A frightened bird flapped its wings in the night, a sentry on the wall looked over, and an arrow flew in the darkness from the side, hitting the throat.

   At the same time, He Lingchuan and the others also fell down from the top of the Guanlou, and silently wiped off the necks of the other two.

  The man with the arrow in the throat shook twice, and was about to fall off the high wall. He Lingchuan quickly grabbed it with his sharp hand, and gently placed it on the ground.

   Otherwise, it would be too loud at night.

   The two teams of the Gale Army acted together, and the other team was led by Sun Duwei.

  He Lingchuan gestured to him, which meant that the sentries were cleared up.

  Lieutenant Sun nodded, glanced down twice to confirm the location of the city gate winch, and then dropped two copper puppets the size of palms.

  The two things fell to the ground, and with a "bang", they turned into a huge copper guard more than ten feet high!

  They are covered with thick armor, and when they get up after landing, the first thing they do is to push the winch and open the city gate!

dragon

  Houguan is the first and most important gateway for the defense of Panlong City by the Xiyu Kingdom. A lot of work has been put into the gate. It is four feet thick and is made of iron wood, fine iron, and rhinoceros skin. It is usually opened and closed by a winch.

  This winch needs eight strong men or four horses to push it barely, but how can the strength of the Bronze Guard be surpassed by humans?

   As soon as they worked hard, the winch started creaking, obviously it hadn't been oiled and maintained in a while. It turned from slow to fast, and the city gate pierced into the ground was slowly raised amidst the sound of rolling machines.

  The garrison at Longmao Pass is not dead. Who can hide this dull sound and vibration?

  Amidst the screams and whistles of "enemy attack", the garrison rushed out of the barracks to defend against the enemy, and a rain of arrows fell on the mountain.

   The Gale Guards, who had been in ambush for a long time, finally made their move.

  At this time, the door above the city gate was kicked away from the inside. If someone happened to stand outside the door, they would have to be slapped in the face by the door.

  The guard rushed out with a mace in his hand, and shouted: "Take the winch, go to the gatehouse!"

   Winning the winch means keeping the checkpoint, clearing out the enemy soldiers on the gate tower, so that the defenders can calmly deal with the army outside.

  The door panel is on the side, and a shield hits it.

  The guard was not afraid, he swung his mace and hit it three times in a row, knocking the door two feet away.

  But the task of the door panel is to attract firepower.

  The guard smashed vigorously, and another string of arrows flew from the dark place, one for the throat, two for the ribs, and three for the knees and legs. It was the wicker who shot.

  The defender's reaction was also quite good. He raised his hand and knocked two arrows into the air. He raised his leg, and the one who shot the knee turned into a shot in the calf.

  He let out a muffled snort, but he was protected by Yuanli all over his body, and he chased an arrow into his flesh twice, failing to cause an open wound.

  The wicker divides the power of an arrow into three, so the penetration is naturally limited.

   But her three arrows were also false moves.

  The real kill is behind the guard:

  He Lingchuan drew out the knife without making a sound.

  When it comes to victory or defeat on the battlefield, who will pay attention to one-on-one duels with you?

  The guard only felt the creeps on his back, as if something terrifying was coming, so he fell sideways without thinking, and smashed out the mace with his backhand.

  He was not slow to dodge, but he was still slower than He Lingchuan. With a change in the light of the knife, he passed the guard's arm holding the stick first.

  He only felt a coldness and pain in his wrist.

  The arm was severed at the wrist, with a smooth incision.

  The guard felt the pain when his palm and mace fell to the ground, and couldn't help but yelled. Several personal guards from behind rushed up to protect him, one was shot by wicker, one was stabbed to death by Hu Min, and the last one was known by He Lingchuan.

  The guard has reached the wall and is about to turn over and jump off.

  As soon as He Lingchuan raised his hand, the sleeve arrow shot out, pierced his shoulder and hooked back.

  By the side, Captain Sun was controlling the golden-armored and bronze guards. Seeing this, he couldn't help rushing in, and cut off the guard's head with a single knife.

   "Hey, hey, this is not yours!" Hu Min couldn't help shouting, this guy is taking credit!

  Sun Duwei smiled at him, grinned his white teeth, then raised the head of the guard and shouted at Guan Xia: "Hu Bin is dead, Hu Bin is dead!"

   This guard is called Hu Bin.

  The Xixiang garrison looked up and saw that the leaders were all dead, and the army was in chaos.

  The door panel also shouted immediately: "Surrender without killing, open the door without killing!"

  Xiyu garrison just went to attack the two gold-armored bronze guards, who pushed the winch with their heads down and did not resist at all.

  Their copper-skinned, iron-skeleton and steel armors also have elemental body protection, so when the weapon hits the whole stroke, it will pull out sparks, and it will only be effective when attacking the joints.

   There were still a few fierce men in the garrison, and they smashed the knee joints of the golden-armored bronze guards with heavy weapons, which really produced some effects.

   At least the Golden Armored Bronze Guard's advance speed has slowed down.

  At the same time, the Xixiang people also used tents and horse rejection posts as cover to fight back against the shooters on the mountain.

  However, the gate of the city was already two feet above the ground, and the soldiers of Panlong City outside were lying on the ground with their weapons in their hands and rolling in.

  The defenders of Xixiang were about to counterattack, but they were surprised to see that Hu Bin had already

  Death, once the morale was let down, the Panlong City soldiers who had sneaked in were able to stand firm.

  In the back, the people of Xijiao were retreating steadily, and the golden armor and bronze guards opened and closed the door to enter the army, which was a matter of reason.

  After a quarter of an hour, the defenders of Longhou Pass abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

  In this campaign, the beacon tower was never lit from the beginning to the end. Some soldiers wanted to remove the sand cover and start a fire, but the thing was plastered and sanded, and it was not only thick and heavy, it was definitely not something that one or two people could move.

  The archers on the mountain peak also pay attention to the beacon tower, whoever comes here will eat the arrow.

   Against the rain of arrows, this layer of sand can't be removed.

  General Hong walked up to He Lingchuan and Sun Duwei and nodded approvingly: "Good job. At least give us two more hours."

  The execution of the two teams was in place, allowing the Panlong Army to open the gate of Longmao Pass with the least cost.

   Don't underestimate these two hours, the foundation for victory or defeat may have been laid.

  The dragon's throat has been opened, where's the dragon's tail?

  General Hong didn't waste time, and ordered the whole army to move forward to quickly capture the last difficulty in the mountainous area of ​​Xiyu Country—Longjigang.

  Because the elite team of the Gale Army had already ambushed in advance, and also cooperated with the inside and outside, this time the battle took an extra half an hour, and finally won.

   But Longji Pass lit the beacon tower!

  The elite team dumbed down the barrel in advance, so the defenders didn't fire a single shot in the end.

   It is impossible to fight without any fault tolerance. This mistake was already expected by the Red General. She didn't blame much, just let everyone rest on the spot for a quarter of an hour, and then pointed her sword at the capital city of Xiqiu on the eastern plain!

  Her attack declaration has only four short words:

  「This battle must be won!」

   On the first night of the new king Xixiang's ascension to the throne, he pampered two beauties.

  He was sleeping soundly in the gentle village, but his servants rushed in to play urgently. The enemy army has attacked and has already entered the gate of the capital!

   "What?" Hu Yanzhao's mind buzzed, and he lost his voice, "How is this possible!"

  Where did the enemy come from, where did they attack from!

   "The first south gate and the second west gate have fallen, and the first east gate is still under heavy attack!" The attendant cried, "The beacon tower in the west is lit up, so it should be that Panlong City is attacking!"

  Hu Yanzhao kicked him down: "Then why no one responds!"

  As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he remembered that someone had reported a few hours ago, and the war in the west had started again.

   After two consecutive nights of false alarms, and today is another auspicious day for him to ascend the throne, Hu Yanzhao didn't take this matter to heart, but sent someone to spy on the truth. Besides, although the beacon fire was started but the artillery was not fired, it was most likely a false alarm.
