After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 434 Seizing the Throat of the Dragon
The army 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 Xilong Kingdom is inspecting the new robes he wore when he ascended the throne.

Some old ministers came to persuade them that the flames of Longmao Pass had ignited twice, fearing that there might be an enemy secretly invading, and they wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's grand ceremony to plot evil.

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

"It's better to postpone the grand ceremony." This one is also straightforward.

Hu Yanzhao's face darkened 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: "Delay for... a few days, and Xishan will be fine."

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

"Those wild monkeys at Longmao Pass set fire to me, so I have to postpone my position? Huh?"

You tell any prince that he wants to be crowned king a few days later, see if he will do it?

"It doesn't matter how many days there is no king in the Xiying Kingdom, as long as there is no fire in the west, 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 you are the only one asking!"

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 has been spread to Chengmen Lang, 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, and there were no moths at all.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the early night, there is wind but no moon.

In the past few days, the attention of the sentinels at the Dragon Throat Pass has been on the beacon tower, and they subconsciously look back after walking a few steps, fearing that something might go wrong.

People's energy is limited, if you look too closely at the back, you will 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, and a sentry on the closed wall probed to check, but an arrow flew from the side in the darkness and hit the throat.

At the same time, He Lingchuan and others also turned 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.

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

These two things fell to the ground, and with a "bang", they turned into huge copper guards 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!

Longhou Pass is the first and most important gateway for the defense of Panlong City by the Xiyu Kingdom, and 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.

It takes eight strong men or four horses to barely push this winch, but how can the strength of the Bronze Guard be surpassed by humans?
As soon as they worked hard, the capstans creaked and started, and they had obviously not 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 Longmaw Pass is not dead, so 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 suddenly fell on the mountain peak.

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, shouting, "Take the winch and go up to the gate!"

Seizing 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 was on the side, and a shield hit it.

The guard was not afraid, he swung the 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 fire.

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

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

He let out a muffled snort, but his body was protected by energy, and the arrow pierced 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 a false move.

The real killer is behind the guard:
He Lingchuan unsettled his sword.

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 swept past 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 edge of the wall and is about to turn over and jump down.

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

Lieutenant Sun was controlling the golden-armored and bronze guards on the side. Seeing this, he couldn't help rushing in, and chopped off the guard's head.

"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 guard's head and shouted at Guan Xia: "Hu Bin is dead, Hu Bin is dead!"

This guard is called Hu Bin.

The Xilong 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!"

The garrison of Xilong just went to attack the two gold-armored bronze guards, but the latter put their heads down and pushed the winch wildly without any resistance.

They have copper-skinned iron-skeleton steel armor, and they also have elemental force to protect the body, so when the weapon hits the whole stroke and pulls out sparks, it will only be effective if it attacks 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 progress of the Golden Armored Bronze Guard has slowed down.

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

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

The defenders of Xixiang were about to fight back, but they were shocked to see that Hu Bin was dead. Their morale was blown, and they let the Panlong City soldiers who had sneaked in gain a firm foothold.

Later, the people of Xixiang retreated steadily, and the gold-armored and bronze guards opened the door and entered the army, which was a matter of course.

A quarter of an hour later, 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 this thing was plastered and sandy, not only thick and heavy, it was definitely not something that one or two people could move.

The archers on the mountain also focus on taking care of the beacon tower, and whoever comes here will eat arrows.

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?

The Red General didn't waste any time, and ordered the whole army to move forward, and quickly seize the last difficulty in the mountainous area of ​​Xilong Country - Longjigang.

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

But Longji Pass ignited the beacon tower!

The elite squad dumbed down the barrels beforehand, so the defenders ended up with no shots fired.

It is impossible to fight without any fault tolerance, and 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 is only four short words:
"This battle must be won!"

……

On the first night of his ascension to the throne, the new king of Xilong 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?" There was a buzzing in Hu Yanzhao's mind, and he lost his voice, "How is this possible!"

Where did the enemy army come from, where did it come from!
"The first south gate and the second west gate have fallen, and the first east gate is still under fierce attack!" The servant 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 is no one responding!"

As soon as the words came 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 nights of false alarms, and today is another great 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.
