Chapter 54: Rooftop Pass

Sun Yu rode a fierce fire and watched the soldiers marching out at the gate of the village. He was full of pride. When he left, he would sweep through the enemy's cavalry camp, guard camp, sword and shield camp, spear camp, bow and arrow camp, crossbow camp, and heavy supplies camp.

Passing by one after another, the entire army exceeded 5,000 people.

"Sir, it's time to set off." Zhang Daqiu's law enforcement battalion came forward and reminded Sun Yu as they passed by.

"Drive" Sun Yu clamped the horse's belly, and the fire rushed out. Sun Yu subconsciously turned around and saw Mrs. Su and Xiaolian standing at the door, waving towards him.

The two of them slept next door last night. Although Mrs. Su seemed drunk, she was just showing it to Sun Yu. However, she didn't wait for anyone all night, so she was really worse than a beast. If Sun Yu knew Mrs. Su's thoughts, he would definitely think about it.

As for the jokes of later generations, if you go away, you will be like a beast; if you don’t go away, you will be worse than a beast.

Sun Yu was really fed up with this broken road, walking back and forth in the mountains and forests all day long. No wonder the court had poor control here.

"Sir, I have something to report to my humble position." Yang Qifeng hurriedly came to Sun Yu's side and said.

"What's the matter?" Sun Yu knew the news was not good when he saw Yang Qifeng's expression.

It turned out that the Special Battalion sent some brothers to sneak into the back of Tiantai Pass, but Tiantai Pass was heavily guarded and there were experts stationed there, so there was no chance. Moreover, the soldiers of the Special Battalion discovered that Tiantai Pass had also prepared a huge beacon tower. If there was a war, it would be lit.

The Minxi Gang in Shaxian County must know about the war immediately.

"This beacon tower is really troublesome." Sun Yu rubbed his temples. Once the Minxi Gang found out that the government troops were coming to kill them, they would definitely entangle the army and strictly guard the city. They might even be able to reach an agreement with the Tiannu Cult. The two sides were already at loggerheads.

, that is because of the lack of external pressure.

"What do you think, sir?" Sun Yu turned around and asked Xu Yi. During this expedition, Sun Yu found Xu Yi a docile mare, which was able to keep up with the army.

"In my opinion, there will be rain tomorrow." Xu Yi raised his head and looked at the sky. The beacon signal is the fastest, but if it rains, the beacon tower will become a decoration.

"Fight in the rain?" If it rained, the beacon tower would definitely become a decoration, but it would be much more difficult for the army to fight. Sun Yu was a little undecided.

"If we can kill the Minxi Gang by surprise, it will all be worth it." Xu Yi also knew that fighting in the rain was not only difficult, but also that if you were exposed to the rain for a long time, you would easily get wind and cold, which would weaken the army's combat effectiveness in the future.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Sun Yu nodded and arranged for the army to camp five miles away from Tiantai Pass. This place happened to be the blind spot of the Tiantai Pass guards' sight. If they went over, they would be exposed.

"Commander Yang, no matter what, everyone who escapes from Tiantai Pass must be intercepted by me." Once the beacon tower cannot be used, the guards at Tiantai Pass will definitely send fast horses to notify the rear. If the news is passed on, what they do will

Because, it’s just a useless effort.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll take care of my humble job right away." He also sent over a dozen good men under his command. As long as they guard the official road, they must ride on horseback to deliver the message. They can only walk along the official road and wait for the legs of the people to run away from the path.

I'm afraid all the troops have arrived at Shaxian County.

As soon as the army stopped, they began to prepare the equipment to attack the city tomorrow. As for trebuchets and the like, Sun Yu didn't have them, and there was no need for a small checkpoint. But the more ladders the better, they had to rely on them to climb up.

At two o'clock the next day, the raindrops began to fall, and the entire camp immediately became nervous and busy. Sun Yu had planned a battle last night

The plan has been notified to all battalions.

"Let's go!" Sun Yu gave the order, and the entire team walked towards Tiantai Pass in an orderly manner. In order to preserve their physical strength to attack the city, all equipment that had nothing to do with the battle was handed over to the baggage battalion.

"It's such a bad weather, it's raining again." The Tiantai Gatekeeper, a close confidant of Zhou Buzheng, was warming himself by the fire in the gate at this time. He had just been caught in some rain, and his body was wet and uncomfortable.

"General, why don't we start a game." The deputy general rubbed his fingers. In this damn weather and with the shitty military situation, it's better for the brothers to have fun.

"That's OK, but you have to take out the two jars of wine you hid." In this weather, it would be really hard not to get some wine to moisten your throat.

After a short effort, everyone from Tiantaiguan got together to push Pai Gow. It was so lively. As for the soldiers, they could only stand in the wind and rain. Since there was no leader watching, the soldiers naturally kept moving back.

Stay behind as much as possible to get out of the rain.

"Brother, someone seems to be coming over there." A sharp-eyed soldier closed the door on the rooftop. Seeing something moving in the wind and rain, he quickly called out to the veteran next to him.

"Are you dazzled? There is no one there. They will go in here to seek bad luck, and they will get scolded for nothing." It was windy and rainy, and the veteran took a look and shrank back. In this kind of horrible weather, even if you are hiding at home, you are too lazy to stand up and go over the mountains.

How is it possible to go to war? Besides, it is busy inside. If there are no enemy soldiers and it interferes with the general's gambling, he will not end well.

"Maybe I saw it wrong." Xiao Bing didn't dare to say anything more, just thinking that he had seen it wrong.

Closer, closer, Tiantai Pass is already in sight.

"General, general, something serious has happened." After finally confirming the officers and soldiers who had arrived, the veteran hurriedly ran in to report.

"If you fart, hurry up. What's the big deal?" The guard slapped him in the face. He had just lost five games in a row and was feeling depressed.

"Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are here." The veteran covered half of his face and said quickly.

"What? How many people are there? Where are they?" The guard drank some wine and was still a little confused at first. When he heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, he was so frightened that he broke into a sweat and half woke up from the wine.

"I can't count them. There are a lot of them. We are still more than a mile away." The veteran was also panicked. He had not listened to the soldier before and never thought that the officers and soldiers were really coming. When it was confirmed that they were officers and soldiers, it was less than two miles away.

"What are you doing for food? I only found out so close. Quickly gather people to close the door and light the beacon fire." When the guard heard this, he was so angry that he was blinded.

"General, that doesn't matter, it's raining." The deputy general reminded from the side.

"Then send fast horses to report, quickly!" the guard ordered while putting on his armor. When he was done wearing his armor, he picked up his long sword and went to the critical moment.

As soon as the moment came to pass, the guard general felt regretful. He really shouldn't have started a gambling game. It was such a waste. The officers and soldiers had already arrived at the pass. Fortunately, the guardsmen on his side also came up one after another, so at last they wouldn't be beaten.

Caught off guard.

Although it was raining and the ground was muddy and difficult to walk on, the Sword Shield Battalion had already neatly set up their shields under the pass. The archers following them all hid behind the large shields, waiting for the order to attack. The Strong Crossbow Battalion was also in place.

, aiming Senhan's arrows at key moments, especially the armored guards, who are their main targets.

"Fire the arrows, quickly fire the arrows." Seeing that the opponent's formation was about to be set up, the guard's archers were finally in position, and he quickly ordered to shoot. A hundred or so archers fired their bows towards the city one after another.

, but it was windy and rainy, so I won’t mention the accuracy. Even if it hits, it probably won’t have much power.

Sun Yu's army ignored the incoming bows and arrows and continued to arrange their formation. The damage caused by the bows and arrows was basically negligible. The large shield was not a decoration.

"Strong Crossbow Camp, start shooting!" Sun Yu was not in a hurry to launch a general attack. After all, his manpower was limited. By waiting to exhaust the energy of the archers on the city wall, he would be able to reduce casualties on his side.

"Shoot!" the commander of the Qiangnu Battalion gave the order, and nearly a hundred huge crossbow arrows flew towards the city. One of them flew over the guard's body and hit the back of the juncture hard, causing stone chips to fly.

.If this hit someone, there would be no way to survive. The guard would be so frightened that he would unconsciously take a few steps back.

The actual damage caused by hundreds of crossbow arrows was only a dozen people, but it caused huge psychological pressure on the soldiers guarding the gate. In the past, they used to bully ordinary people or other bandit forces, but they had never really faced such a battle.

The soldiers of the Qiannu Battalion continued to load arrows in an orderly manner, and in half a stick of incense, they were all ready.

"Shoot!" Another batch of crossbow arrows flew towards the city with a whistling sound. With the first experience, this time they were even more accurate. When the soldiers of the Minxi Gang at the city head saw the crossbow arrows flying towards them, they started flying one by one.

He immediately lay down. Although the crossbow was powerful, it could not turn. With such a thick city wall, it was still safe to hide behind it.

The crossbow arrows flew past, and the closed archers began to shoot downwards again, but the power of the bows and arrows obviously began to weaken.

"Arrow battalion shoots, indiscriminate continuous fire!" Two archer battalions, with nearly a thousand archers, emerged from under the big shield and fired at random at the critical moment.

There were more than a thousand archers and hundreds of powerful crossbows, so that the guards at the critical moment did not dare to raise their heads.

"Lance battalion, set up the ladder. Guards battalion prepare!" Sun Yu looked at it and felt that the time had come and the rain had subsided, so it was time to launch a general attack.

The ladders were closed one after another, and the soldiers of the spear battalion had already begun to climb.

"Hurry, give it all to me!" The guard saw the hook at the front of the ladder set up on the city wall. He immediately became anxious, drew out his long sword and ordered the soldiers squatting behind.

The soldiers of the Changqiang Battalion crawled toward the critical moment while holding the opponent's bows and arrows. Casualties began to occur, but finally they approached the critical moment. The soldiers of the Changqiang Battalion had already used their long guns to fight the soldiers of the Minxi Gang at the head of the city.

"Bahu, I leave it to you!" Sun Yu patted Bahu on the shoulder. The Guards Battalion was the last straw to overwhelm the opponent.

The soldiers of the Guards Battalion were wearing armor, holding the backs of swords in their mouths, and rushed toward the ladder.

Under the cover of archers and crossbows, the Guards Battalion quickly approached the critical moment. Decepticon took the lead. He was so well-armored that he ignored the bows and arrows at all.

Bahu and other Guards Battalion soldiers, under the cover of long gunmen, quickly approached on the ladder.

"Stop shooting!" Seeing that the Guards Battalion was about to reach a critical moment, if we fired again at this time, we would inevitably inadvertently injure our own people.

"Ah!" Tyrannosaurus turned the key in one breath, wielding the sledgehammer with both hands, like the god of war descending from the sky, smashing the guards in all directions. The soldiers from the rear guard battalion kept coming up, and finally stood firm.

"Congratulations, sir!" Seeing that all the Guards battalions have entered the pass, and the spear battalions have also entered one after another, this pass has been won, and there are no more variables.
