Chapter 210 The Eve of Tiger Head Pass

"Brothers, what should we do when we encounter an enemy?"

"kill him!"

"Brothers, are your spears hungry?"

"Stab him!"

"Brothers, are your bows and arrows full?"

"Shoot him!"

Lin Youde suddenly raised his saber and shouted: "Fight me!!"

"Kill them!"

"attack!"

"Woo..." The horn suddenly sounded far away.

"What's that sound?" Xixia Bing in Hutou Pass changed their expressions, and said in a voiceless voice: "Could it be?"

General Hutouguan listened for a moment, and his expression changed drastically: "No, it seems to be the sound of a charging horn!"

The Xixia soldiers looked at each other in amazement, seeing fear in each other's eyes.

Song Jun finally appeared at this time?
The sound of ferocious war drums has already risen into the night. The general in Hutou Pass climbed up and looked out, and saw a red flag with a tiger's head suddenly appeared behind the low horizon. As they rushed toward each other, the distance between the two armies was less than a thousand steps away.

"It's a military flag I've never seen before!"

"Tiger head flag?"

"How did they come here? What are the scouts doing for food!"

"Enemy attack enemy attack!"

At this time, the vanguard death squad on the outskirts of Hutou Pass had discovered the arrival of Lin Youde's army and was retreating in panic, but the Xixia soldiers in the barracks did not know that bad luck had come.

Xixia's hurried bugle broke the silence, and groups of soldiers rushed out, and immediately a rain of arrows hit.

There was a whistling, and a rain of arrows burst out. In the chaos, some people screamed and shouted after being hit by arrows.

"Get ready! Let go!" Lin Youde roared.

Nearly a thousand strong bows were fired suddenly, sharp arrows whized through the air, and there was another dull sound of arrows being hit in Hutou Pass.

"Line up! Get ready to attack the city!" Lin Chong waved his spear, jumped vigorously, and bombarded the vermilion city gate more than ten meters high with all his strength!

At Tiger Claw Pass, a scuffle between two thousand cavalry and archers led by Lu Zhishen and Tiger Claw Pass inevitably took place, although the two forces had less than a thousand people.

But it was indeed an extremely tragic fight.

On the surface, Huzhuoguan had the absolute upper hand in terms of numbers, and the nearly 3-strong army launched wave after wave of swift attacks against Lu Zhishen's 2-strong force.

However, Lu Zhishen led all 3-star heavy armored cavalry!
As soon as the two armies met, they fell into a scuffle. The situation immediately became more and more unfavorable for Tiger Claw Pass. A thousand heavy armored cavalry rampaged among the enemy troops. A rain of arrows rained down, bringing muffled groans.

Heavy armored cavalry are not afraid of archers' bows and arrows, so there is no such thing as accidental injury!

Zhang Pi, the guard of Huya Pass on the enemy's side, looked bleak and remorseful. Seeing the shrinking troops, his expression twitched, and he felt remorse. He is now in trouble.

"Wahhahaha, refreshing! It's been a long time since the Sa family has such a happy time!" Lu Zhishen swept away several Xixia leather armored soldiers with a Zen stick and laughed loudly.

Lu Zhishen, who had the absolute upper hand, would never show mercy.

"Kill the Sajia!" Lu Zhishen couldn't hide the excitement on his face. After finishing the group of tiger claw pass leather armor soldiers who came to stop them, he could drive straight in and attack the tiger claw pass.

"General!" A scout suddenly appeared and came to Lu Zhishen's side: "The investigation of Tiger Claw Pass is completed, the city gate is closed tightly, the number of defenders is about 3000, and the people of Xixia have been requisitioned."

"Also, my lord and General Lin have led an army to confront the enemy at Hutou Pass."

There was a flash of light in Lu Zhishen's eyes and he said, "Okay!"

Lu Zhi looked up to the sky with a long smile, and his face was full of color. If he can successfully annex the three passes of the tiger's head today, then there will be two heroes competing for the throne.

Poor Xi Xia, will lose a large piece of territory.

The first row of swordsmen, spearmen and Xixia soldiers collided fiercely.

The sharp spear easily pierced the body of the Xixia soldier, and then pierced the body of the second row of Xixia soldiers.

More Xixia soldiers were knocked into the air by the surging Lin Chong, and died when they were thrown back in the air.

The soldiers of Xixia immediately fell into chaos, frightened by the sudden blow, they were at a loss for what to do.

At this time, the subsequent sword and shield wielders were already coming one after another wielding heavy horse-killing swords.

These were silent, as if they had been trained thousands of times, and turned into sharp arrows that cut the chaotic Xixia soldiers into countless scattered small pieces, and the bloody massacre began...

Lin Youde vigorously wielded the old dragon blood sword and knocked a Xixia cavalry off his horse.

When he slashed at the No.2 Xixia cavalryman with a knife, a cold killing intent came from his back, Lin Youde suddenly turned his head, and saw a cavalryman wrapped in iron armor rushing towards him like a ghost, coldly There was a suffocating murderous intent in Lie's eyes, and the sharp long knife was already hanging in the air.

"kill!"

Without any fear, Lin Youde turned over and jumped onto Xixia's war horse, slapping the horse and wielding a sword and roaring to meet him. As the horses intertwined, the two long swords collided without any tricks, making a deafening sound of gold and iron clashing.

The Xixia black-armored cavalry suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest, as if being struck by lightning, his arms were so weak that he could no longer hold the handle of the knife tightly, and with a bang, the long knife fell into the dust.

This sudden change caused the black armored cavalryman to charge forward on his horse, and Lin Youde suddenly saw that since he had escaped.

"The enemy general should not leave before he strikes me, Lin Youde, with a thunderous knife!"

Lin Youdele turned his horse back and chased after him on a Pegasus.

Since Lin Youde absorbed Lei Ding, every knife of Lin Youde carried the power of thunder, like a humanoid high-voltage generator, whoever touches it will die without being paralyzed.

The black-armored cavalry was frightened and hurried towards Hutou Pass.

As soon as the general left, the Xixia soldiers who originally planned to organize a charge immediately collapsed and turned around and fled. The Hutouguan gate that had been opened was closed again.

The vanguard of more than 1000 people all dispersed in a rush during the escape.

Lin Youde spurred his horse and turned around, only to see the soldiers behind him standing as solemn as a forest, their cold murderous intent almost freezing the chariot.

Lin Youde raised the dragon blood knife over the top, and the fierce drumming stopped abruptly.

All the soldiers stopped and stood still suddenly, thousands of pairs of cold eyes focused on Lin Youde at the same time, there was no other sound in the world, only the sound of heavy breathing and the hunting sound of the military flag being blown by the cold wind.

"Capture the Tiger Head Pass!"

Lin Youde's passionate voice pierced the silent night and passed clearly into the eardrums of every soldier.

"Capture the Tiger Head Pass!"

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, the crowd was excited, and the huge sound wave was like a mountain falling apart, covering all the sounds in the world.

They have been silent for too long, and Lin Youde hasn't summoned them to fight for too long!
Lin Youde rode his horse and turned around, slashing the Dragon Blood Knife in his hand, pointing the sharp tip at the tiger head closing the gate with thousands of people guarding it, and the resounding voice resounded, "Kill!"

"kill!"

The beating of drums echoed, and the soldiers fought bravely to be the first, launching an overwhelming attack on the chaotic Xixia soldiers.

"Brothers! Kill me!"

With a loud roar, Lin Chong's blood gushed out like a burning flame, and the big gun in his hand waved like a brilliant silver flower, straight into the Xixia army's formation, covering everything in his direction!
Behind him, thousands of pikemen swore to the death and roared forward. Wherever they passed, Xixia soldiers split into waves, and no one could stop them for a moment.

"Send me troops! They only have a few thousand people! We have 3 soldiers and horses!!" The general roared as he was surrounded by the army.

Lin Youde's troops were only a few thousand, and he had several times more troops than him.

Even if the soldiers under Lin Youde's command are well-trained and well-equipped, and their combat effectiveness and fighting will are unprecedentedly strong, so what?

They are on the defensive side!

The Xixia army defending the city was several times larger than Lin Youde's army. They had inexhaustible weapons and equipment and a mountain of grain and rice.

Close the gates and hoard Lin Youde's soldiers on the city wall to keep defending them. It will take three to five days for Lin Youde to be defeated when he runs out of ammunition and food!
The sound of killing outside Hutou Pass shook the sky.

This is a battlefield of blood and fire, full of soldiers charging into the battle, shouting to kill the sky, and soldiers lying in a pool of blood and never getting up again.

"My lord! The outside of the city has been cleaned up." Lin Chong rushed out of the sea of ​​flames with his big horse, stepped on the horse's back, leaped high, jumped to Lin Youde's side, and knelt down on one knee.

"Okay!" Lin Youde looked up at the Hutouguan city, and then Lin Youde flicked his right hand.

The drums sound and white mist rises.

If someone looked down at this time, they could see the red tasseled caps below the city flying like flames, converging into a sea of ​​flames, which was terrifying and boundless.

There were rows of crossbow arrows under the city waiting to be clustered, and they poured into the city like a desperate attack. The fierce blows like a storm left Hutou Pass riddled with holes.

"Fire arrows for me! They don't have siege equipment! Hold it for me!" General Xixia swept away the flying arrows with his weapon and roared.

The Xixia soldiers began to fight back, and rows of sharp arrows slanted down the city like locusts amidst bursts of strings.

The attack and defense became more and more fierce until dawn, and the casualties on both sides were so heavy that the general Hutouguan had to withdraw them to rest and arrange forcibly recruited people to stand on the wall to take charge of the defense.

Last night, Lin Chong led the spearmen to destroy the gate of Hutou Pass, and then personally waved the spear and led the charge.

Hutou Pass had no choice but to arrange for [-] defenders to occupy the favorable location and seal the gap tightly. With Lin Youde's bravery, he could not advance any further despite repeated charges, leaving many corpses behind.

At this moment, a dust dragon rolled up in the distance, and Lu Zhishen, who had 1500 troops in the distance, rushed over.

When Lu Zhishen came to his side, Lin Chong had just retreated from the front of the formation, and the battle drums were still roaring in the formation.

Lin Chong showed his steel-like muscles, and his body was covered with sweat and blood. He had just pulled out the arrowhead, and his flesh and blood were all covered with blood. A soldier was bandaging him with sweat profusely.

Compared with these summoned soldiers who are brave and fearless of death, Lin Chong and Lin Youde are still human beings no matter how superb their combat prowess is. They cannot compare to the summoned soldiers. Death turns into light feathers and dissipates without pain or illness.

"My lord! Brother Lin!" Lu Zhishen was stunned when he saw the two of them.

Lin Youde sat there imposingly, while the soldiers cleaned up the blood and applied medicine to bandage him.

Lu Zhishen's eyes widened, and he roared loudly like thunder, waving his arms from time to time: "Zhi Niang, these Xixia cowards actually dare to hurt you, let's go and fight them to the death."

"Hahaha, go and go." Lin Chong grinned and smiled with half-closed eyes.

"It's okay, we were careless just now. Seeing that the city gate was smashed, we rushed up in a dizzy moment. Who knew that Hutouguan had prepared hot oil and stones and sharp arrows. I will recover later. , let’s kill him and see how long the city can last.”

The two sides were in a stalemate here for more than half an hour.

"It's a bit troublesome." Lin Youde looked at Hutouguan, who was only focused on defense, and suddenly fell into thought.

The current Tiger Head Pass is clearly about defending. If you attack me, I will fight back, and then I will defend. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, so you can do whatever you like.

Judging from Lin Youde's current experience, energy, and talent, and his overall strategic perspective, he knows that the tiger's head is now vulnerable to a single blow in his eyes, so what's the use of defending?

"Since you want to defend the Tiger Head Pass, I will make you run for your life." Lin Youdelema looked down at the crumbling Tiger Head Pass in front of him.

Now Hutou Pass is like a lone boat in the huge waves, and the top and bottom of the city are like a meat grinder, rapidly harvesting the lives of soldiers.

When Lu Zhishen heard the sound of killing in front of him, he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Grandma is a big breast, leave this matter to the Sa family, sir. The Sa family will lead the troops to take down the head of their leader and drink it."

Lu Zhishen's words made the two of them laugh.

Lin Youde laughed upright, and waved his hand heroically: "I understand one thing about this battle, we are only suitable for blitzkrieg and assault warfare, and a war like siege warfare is to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. Disaster."

Lu Zhishen was stunned when he heard this: "Sir, how come you have become such a good guy?"

Lin Chong tentatively said, "My lord, I don't understand what you mean."

Lin Youde smiled and said: "If you suffer a loss this time, you will remember it better next time. We must win the siege battle quickly in the future."

"Boss, they've calmed down." The voice of a young Xixia leather armored soldier on the wall of Hutou Pass sounded.

"Why do you think they are fighting this war? They only have three to four thousand soldiers, but we have more than 2. How many of these people are left?"

Although the figures crouching around were silent, they all raised their ears involuntarily. The hearts of these soldiers are hanging in the air now. After the previous battle, the hearts of these soldiers can't help but mention it. The soldiers under the city are too crazy. It's almost fatal.

But let’s not mention it for the time being, let’s just say that the several battles with this army finally made them realize how terrible the Song army is. They were terrified.

"You little bastards, aren't you scared? Three or 4000 people are nothing? At the beginning, there were [-] vanguard troops, and none of them showed fear on their faces against tens of thousands of Song dogs. What do people care about? Slash across , everyone has to save blood, and whoever is less afraid of death will survive to the end."

"We're not afraid..." The young Xixia soldier blushed.

Originally, I wanted to say a few more words, but the faces of the Xixias froze for a moment, and a few muffled hums came, and the breath became much heavier in an instant, and then they died.

Behind them, the sun shines on itself, and several black-clothed scouts have already pierced their bodies with daggers, covering their mouths and noses with one hand the whole time.

After finishing off the soldiers who controlled the opening and closing mechanism of the city gate, a masked scout whispered: "Turn on the mechanism and let the adults come in!"

"Yes!" Several scouts around him immediately turned the huge wooden gear.
