Chapter 841: Ximen Pass is breached!

night.

Three quarters of a hour.

Ximen Pass.

A group of well-armored Yan troops silently approached under the city tower. It was pitch black outside the city tower, the moon was hidden in the clouds, and there were sparse torches and fireworks swaying in the cold wind.

"General!"

"Brothers are ready."

Chen Qian and Li Yi looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and shouted: "Send the order, attack the city!"

"Siege the city!"

As soon as the order was given, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, torches were instantly lit by fire sticks, and the echelon team that had been prepared quickly rushed towards the city wall.

On the city tower, all the soldiers of the Li Army were shocked. There had been no fighting at Ximen Pass all year round, so the defense was naturally very lax. Now, hearing the shouts of killing outside the city, many soldiers suddenly woke up from their sleep.

"Enemy attack!"

"Quick, the enemy is coming."

"Report to the general quickly!"

The soldiers on the city wall quickly raised their weapons and guarded various nodes. The general on duty at Ximen Pass also darkened his face: "I didn't expect that Yan Jun would dare to invade our Ximen Pass."

"Archer, aim at Yan Jun's ladder man and release the arrow."

"Stand up your spears, don't let any of the Yan troops charge up the city wall."

"Drum roll!"

Military orders were issued one after another, and groups of soldiers rushed out of the camp inside Ximen Pass, rushing towards the city tower.

In a remote camp, more than ten figures were scattered around the tent, and some even stared blankly.

Thirty figures stood neatly in the tent, looking respectfully at the leader in front of them.

"General, the Hidden Sword Camp has been assembled. General, please give orders."

"Um!"

The leader was a thin, masked figure who whispered in a hoarse voice: "Now there is chaos in Ximen Pass. You blended in with the crowd and attacked the general's palace."

"The guard of Ximen Pass, named Zhang Gui, is a peerless military general. You are ambushing him at various important roads and must rob and kill him."

"promise!"

"Let's take action. This is the first battle of our Hidden Sword Battalion. This battle is related to the life and death of our Nanyan Army. Everyone, please."

"Death for Da Yan!"

…

Outside Ximen Pass.

The guru was wearing a long robe, looking deeply at the pass in front of him. A snowflake fell silently on his shoulder. After a moment, it melted into water and soaked into his clothes, but he didn't know it.

The shouts of killing were loud, fires shot up into the sky, and the sound of swords and swords was heard all the time!

"Commander, it's snowing."

"Um……"

The guru hummed softly and frowned tightly. The snow seemed to have come at the wrong time.

They really have no way out.

"General, the weather is a little cold, please go back to your tent and rest!"

"No."

The guru let out a long sigh, his gaze instantly became extremely sharp, and a long-lost murderous aura suddenly swept away from his body, and he said softly: "Bring me my weapon."

"Commander?"

"Tonight, if the Ximen Pass is not broken, everyone from me to my commander will die!"

The guru's face showed a bit of determination, and he took the general's sword from the soldier on the side. The sword glowed with a cold light. He touched the sword lightly with his fingers, and a chill spread throughout his body.

This sword was a gift from His Majesty when he was granted the title of Marquis several years ago.

"Where is the guard camp?"

"exist!"

The guru shouted loudly, and more than a thousand figures immediately rushed forward and lined up neatly. The order of the formation was awe-inspiring.

"Do you dare to attack the city with me?"

"I am willing to fight to the death with the commander-in-chief."

"kill!"

The guru shouted loudly and immediately took steps towards the city tower.

On the city wall, many Li troops looked nervous and had a bit of timidity in their eyes.

After a brief battle, they knew that this army was Da Yan's main force, the Nan Yan Army.

In just half an hour, several sections of the city wall had already been lost, and the Yan army that climbed up the city wall was even more fierce. Usually only three or five Li troops could be the opponent of one Nan Yan army.

They haven't seen blood for too long. In fact, most of them are new recruits who have never fought for their lives.

"No, the general was assassinated on the long street."

"The general is dead!"

A sharp shout rang out, and for a moment, all the Li troops on the city wall looked horrified.

"The general is dead?"

"How is it possible? General Zhang is a peerless military general. Who can assassinate him?"

"Even the general died in the battle, and we have no power to fight back against Nan Yan's army!"

While everyone was hesitating, they saw an old figure climbing up the tower and shouted: "The ancient scholar is here, all the soldiers, attack Ximen Pass."

"Commanders of the Li Army, I am Commander-in-Chief Da Yan Dingguo Hou Guru. There are still 300,000 troops outside our city. Today I swear to capture the west gate. If you surrender, you can abandon your enemy and leave. I will never pursue you."

The two words of the guru directly broke the morale of the Ximen Pass defenders. Many soldiers showed hesitation, and some even dropped their weapons and rushed down the tower without even thinking about it.

"Those who run away from battle will die!"

At the critical moment, I saw a figure striding out, holding a spear, and shouted: "Brothers, although the general died in the battle, I am still at Ximen Pass."

"This is our gateway to the northwest of Dali. There are nearly 100,000 defenders in our city."

"Whether it is the Southern Yan Army or the Northern Yan Army, it is not that easy to break through our Ximen Pass. Behind us is our vast territory of Dali, our people of Dali, our brothers and sisters."

"If we retreat, how can we face the court, our parents, and our fellow villagers?"

"Hold on, unless all of us die in battle, we will never let you go!"

The speaker was a heroic young man, his eyes full of worry, staring at Guru.

Although he was wearing Li armor, he was not a Li person.

He was a secret guard of Heibingtai. This sudden attack did not allow Heibingtai to pass on the news in time, and he did not expect that Yanjun had hidden so many masters in the city.

But he knew that the Li army must not be defeated.

Guru looked in the direction of the voice, his face suddenly cold: "Kill!"

As soon as the word "kill" was spoken, the guards behind him rushed towards the Li army on the city wall again. Although they were still unstoppable, fortunately, the Li army did not flee on a large scale.

"It can't be defended!"

"Emergency military information, the Yan army surprise attacks the West Gate Pass and will break the city within a day."

"I hope we can prepare early and pass the news to the Dali court."

"Yes!"

Immediately, two armored soldiers quickly took off their armor, and rushed down the tower.

Before dawn, the tower was full of Yan armor, and the West Gate Pass... was lost!

The ancient scholar's face was also a bit tired, and he whispered: "Chen Qian, Li Yi, the two of you, lead 30,000 troops as the vanguard, continue to march south, and march towards Lingyou."

"Yes!"

"Order the whole army to rest for half a day and continue to march!"
