Inside the pass, Sun Yu was talking to Yang Qifeng. According to the latest news from the special battalion, the enemy vanguard will arrive tomorrow, all heavy armored infantry.

"Don't worry, sir. There are brothers with low-level positions on the surrounding hills. No move by the enemy can escape their eyes." Yang Qifeng had already dispersed all the brothers to the surrounding mountains. They all used flags to spread the message.

It's definitely not feasible, but for people in the world of martial arts, traveling over mountains and rivers is a common thing.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, brothers. Let them pay attention to safety. Enemy scouts will definitely go up the mountain." As a general, Chen Hongjin will definitely send scouts into the mountain, and there will definitely be fighting.

"Dozens of people are scattered in this mountain. They don't want to come out. Even if they are humble, they can't be used against them. Besides, even if you encounter the other party's scouts, you may not be sure who will be unlucky." For these brothers, Yang Qifeng is confident that he will have the upper hand. He has already been there.

Lay traps around.

"Sir, we are coming." Just after noon the next day, Yang Qifeng looked up at the flag waving on the top of the mountain. The enemy was coming.

Half an hour later, I saw neat groups of heavy armored infantry slowly coming along the Shaxi River. The rhythmic sound of footsteps clearly announced to the world that they were an elite division.

The entire team showed no signs of panic. They walked to a distance of five hundred steps from Tingxia Pass, put up their shields as a warning, and the soldiers at the rear began to prepare to set up camp.

"Sir, this should be the vanguard force, about 2,000 people." Chen Qiba glanced at it, condescendingly, so he could see clearly. If Chen Hongjin's men and horses were so powerful, I'm afraid this battle would be difficult to win.

"Sure enough, the Chen family's money is not in vain." There were so many heavy armored infantry that Sun Yu felt like he was drooling. The total number of armored infantry under his command was less than 3,000, of which only half were heavy armor.

, can’t compare.

"Why don't we go out and fight him first?" Chen Qiba was eager to fight. The heavy armored infantry is indeed powerful, but it is difficult to move. We have cavalry, so it would be good to rush out and kill him.

"No, you only have one chance. The opponent's defense is very tight now, don't move lightly." I only have a few cavalry. If I am surrounded by heavy armored infantry, it will be over. This is not a plain. There is a place for you to circle around.

You can only go out and kill one vote and withdraw immediately.

"Then let's just watch?" Chen Qiba scratched his head helplessly.

"Not necessarily. We can start a scolding battle. How about you come over to Bahu?" It's definitely not possible to go out, but if you can stimulate the opponent to attack, then it's still possible.

"Sir, please don't joke about your humble position. You can't do this job." Bahu waved his hands quickly. After all, we were born as generals. It would be too embarrassing to yell and curse in front of the two armies.

Sun Yu smiled, saying that he was only a mile away and yelling and scolding was nothing, it was just a joke. Besides, they are all regular soldiers, how could they change their battle plan after being scolded for a few words?

Sun Yu stood at the top of the city and observed carefully, but he never found any loopholes. It was not until sunset that the main force of the enemy slowly came over. They camped directly behind the heavy armored infantry. The small flat ground was instantly destroyed.

It became crowded, and except for the one mile of open space between the two sides, everything else was occupied. It would be great if there were artillery. If you fire the cannon with your eyes closed, you can probably achieve results.

As night fell slowly, both sides lit up a large number of bonfires and torches. The entire camp of the other side was clearly visible, and there was no possibility of a sneak attack.

Sun Yu turned around again. Since there was no loophole to exploit, let's have a head-on decisive battle tomorrow.

Early the next morning, General Chen Hongjin used

After breakfast, he rode his tall horse to the front of the two armies' formation.

"Let me go, why is this city wall so high? It's even comparable to the city wall in Zhangzhou." Chen Hongjin came late yesterday, and this was the first time he saw the full view of Tingxia Pass. The last time he came here was three years ago.

, it’s a shabby place, you can just build a ladder and attack it, and now it’s actually over two feet tall.

"Come here, get ready, I want to come forward and shout." Chen Hongjin thought about it and tried to see if he could cheat the level card. If he really attacked, there would definitely be a lot of casualties. They were all smashed with silver, so he could save a little.

Yes a little.

A dozen heavy armored infantrymen, carrying huge shields, covered Chen Hongjin as they slowly walked towards the city head.

"What is this?" Sun Yu looked confused. He was originally preparing to wait for the opponent to launch an attack, but why did the general come here in person?

"General guard above, listen, this general is Chen Hongjin, commander of the Qingyuan Army. As promised by your governor, I have come to Jianzhou to help quell the chaos. Open the door quickly." Chen Hongjin shouted to the top.

"Bahu, I say, you shout!" If he spoke out, the other party would definitely guess his age, so why not tease him.

"I have not received the order. General Chen, do you have proof?" Chen Qiba followed Sun Yu's instructions and shouted down.

"Your master sent a messenger to ask for help from me. When I received the news, I hurriedly mobilized an army. Where can I get the evidence?" When Chen Hongjin heard that he had a way out, he was afraid that the other party would ignore him.

"General Chen, now that the Jianzhou bandits have been pacified, why don't you invite General Ruo back?" Chen Qiba said without changing his expression, looking down.

"How presumptuous! How do I know that you are not deceiving me? Open the door quickly, otherwise I will attack the city." Upon hearing this, Chen Hongjin realized that returning would definitely not work, so he might as well try to scare you again.

"General Chen, in that case, why don't I put down the hanging basket and you come up and follow me to see my lord." If we can trick this person into coming up, it would be much easier. Although the possibility is almost impossible, it does not prevent us from trying.

Give it a try.

"I know whether you are already a thief, so how can you take risks alone?" Chen Hongjin was not stupid, and he would not go up and take risks alone.

"General Chen, look, you can't trust me. So how can I trust you?" Chen Qiba spread his hands.

"Are you kidding me? I only need to give an order and I can destroy the city in a blink of an eye. Do you believe it?" Chen Hongjin took a look and knew that the other party had seen through his plan, and he immediately became angry.

"General Chen, you are a great general. You have really lost your dignity by acting like this. We are not trying to trick you, you are asking for it." Sun Yu walked to the front and said to Chen Hongjin below.

"Are you the new governor of Jianzhou?" Chen Hongjin saw Sun Yu's age and instantly realized, no wonder he dared to play tricks on himself, the real master was behind him.

"My official is, General Chen. You led the troops here. I wonder if you got the order from the king of the country or the order from the King of Jinjiang?" Sun Yuxing did not change his name but did not change his surname.

"This general just heard about the unrest in Jianzhou, realized what he meant, and came here to pacify it." Naturally, Chen Hongjin did not give the order, it was all his own will. Forging military orders is still not allowed, as it is more troublesome than acting without permission.

"What do you mean? Who do you mean?" Sun Yu broke the casserole and asked.

"Withdraw!" Chen Hongjin knew that if he continued to talk, he would be humiliating himself, so he would see the truth with swords and guns.

"Go slowly and don't see me off!" Sun Yu looked at Chen Hongjin's walking figure and really wanted to shoot him.

That's great, but the distance is too far. Even a powerful crossbow cannot penetrate the shield at such a distance.

Chen Hongjin did not launch a direct attack, but was arranging troops. Three huge trebuchets were assembled in the open space in front of the formation. The trebuchets occupied a large area and could not be transported. They were all dismantled into parts and temporarily installed in front of the formation.

Assembly. In front of the trebuchet, a bed crossbow was unfolded one after another. In front of each bed crossbow, there was a giant shield as a cover.

"It would be great if artillery could be used." Sun Yu looked at the assembled trebuchets. If there were artillery here, these trebuchets would be useless after a few rounds of volley fire. But the artillery cannot be moved lightly, and it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Appear before the world.

"Hoo~" Three huge rocks flew toward the city head with a whistling sound. One stone hit the city head, and it shook for a moment. The clods of soil leaked down. The other two crossed the city wall and hit the roof inside the pass.

, two big holes were immediately broken.

"Load the crossbow and fight back!" It's not a problem to just stand and be beaten. Although the opponent's defense is complete, the crossbow arrows can also cause some interference.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh" Dozens of crossbow arrows flashed past, most of them were blocked by shields. There were also two crossbow arrows that performed meritorious service and caused casualties to the enemy.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh" The opponent's crossbow is not a decoration. It fires a volley towards the city head. Although it is difficult to achieve success because of the city wall as a defense, it does great damage to the city wall. After all, it is just wood and rammed earth.

Just a simple city wall.

The two sides went back and forth, causing very few casualties, but Sun Yu's city wall became increasingly dilapidated, and some places had to be reinforced.

Fortunately, the trebuchet is not durable enough and will break down every once in a while. Otherwise, such endless smashing would be too damaging to morale.

"Sir, I would like to take someone out to kill him and destroy his trebuchet." Chen Qiba felt useless, so he hid under the city wall and endured the beating for a day. He already had more than ten casualties among his men.

"No, look at their formation. There are heavy armored infantry guards in the middle, and light armored swordsmen on both sides. If they attack rashly, they will easily be intercepted by the opponent's swordsmen." Sun Yu kept trying.

I found a flaw in the opponent's formation, but I never found it. If I just rushed out, not only would I not be able to make any achievements, but I would also have to be killed by the opponent.

"Then I'm going to dismantle the trebuchets at the top of Shaxian City." Chen Qiba hated the feeling of being beaten passively. There were a few trebuchets at the top of Shaxian City, so just bring them over.

"When you arrive, I'm afraid the war will be over. Wait patiently." One or two trebuchets are not enough to influence the situation of the war. It is nothing more than psychological pressure. Even if you let him smash it, it will take ten and a half days to smash the city wall.

It can still be more than ten feet high. It only takes three stones each time, and it is often not accurate enough, so people can easily avoid it.

The whole day was spent in boring long-range attacks. The soldiers on both sides looked a little sleepy. Finally, it was dark, and both sides withdrew their troops, leaving only a few people to guard.

"General, are we going to smash it slowly like this? We don't have much food and grass." The deputy general asked Chen Hongjin, who was sitting at the top of the Qingyuan Army camp.

"Since ancient times, has there been a city wall that was broken open by a trebuchet? When two armies fight, the first thing is to attack the heart. What I want is to destroy their morale. The lower their morale is, the higher our morale will be. Under the decline of one and the other, we
