The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 702
In late January, Homur led his army through the eternal sphere of influence, finally climbed the plateau, and advanced towards the Kemir Highlands.

At this time, on the plateau, the climate was far worse than in the Western Regions.Tens of thousands of troops had to trek through the ice and snow, and the daily non-combat casualties reached hundreds, most of whom died from freezing.

In this regard, Homur had no other way, because the retreat was too hasty, leaving behind a lot of supplies, and traveling lightly.Most of the army at this time did not have winter clothes and had to shiver in the extreme cold.

Finally, after several days of marching, the army finally reached the edge of the Kemir Heights.And standing in front of them are the canyon defenders who are eternally stationed leading to the highlands.

After investigation, Homur knew that although the defenders of this canyon had only less than 3000 troops.But it occupies this geographical advantage, and there are barriers lying in it, and it will take several days to break through.And what they lack most now is time, no one knows when the Tianhua Army will arrive.

Homur gritted his teeth, and immediately ordered the army to launch a fierce attack on the Gap Pass, taking it regardless of the cost.

But this gorge is located in the narrowest part of the canyon, less than 20 meters in length, and occupies this slope with a huge drop.When the army is attacking, it can only invest less than a thousand soldiers and horses at a time, and climb up the slope with a height of more than ten meters.

If it was normal, as long as there was enough time, this gorge would not be a fear at all.But now, this pass has become their biggest obstacle.Once the Tianhua army came, hundreds of thousands of troops would be blocked in this narrow valley road, and there would only be a dead end.

The war broke out quickly, and nearly a thousand people rushed to the high slope. At this time, the Wukaner army had no siege equipment and could only rely on manpower to attack the city.

But under the rain of arrows from the Eternal Army, they suffered heavy casualties and almost collapsed.

Homur seemed to have expected this result, and immediately ordered the frontline soldiers to retreat, and then the second soldier continued to charge forward, constantly attacking the Xia Pass.It is not only exhausting the physical strength and arrows of the defenders, but also there is a glimmer of hope that they can take this gorge pass before the army rushes to make siege equipment.

It's a pity that after several rounds of strong attacks, thousands of corpses fell on the hillside, but they still couldn't get close to the wall.Homur was unmoved and still ordered to continue the attack.

A day later, the first siege equipment was built and immediately pulled to use under the gorge pass.

But today's Eternal Army is not what it used to be, because it is Tianhua's ally, many of the eliminated weapons and equipment are sold to Eternal at a low price.Although this gorge is insignificant, it has also been allocated a batch of excellent and sharp weapons.

When the Wukaner army rushed up with the crash cart and the climbing ladder, they immediately took out the kerosene in stock, and threw it on the high slope by throwing a pole.A rocket fell, and the violent fire immediately turned the entire high slope into a sea of ​​flames.Many enemy troops who had no time to retreat were buried in the sea of ​​flames with howling mournfully.

When Huo Muer saw this, his face turned livid with anger. He didn't feel sorry for the heavy losses of soldiers and horses, but because of the fire, he didn't know how much time they would be delayed.

Then the catapults that were rushed out finally appeared on the stage, and several of them stood side by side, constantly bombarding the gorge pass.However, Xiaguan was built of stone materials, although it was damaged by the impact of stone throwers, it still stands.More importantly, the Eternal Army fought very tenaciously, pulling out the only artillery in the pass, trying to bombard the opponent's catapult.

When the two sides fought extremely fiercely, the rear scouts rushed over to report the military situation to Homur.At this time, the Tianhua army in the rear was less than fifty miles away from them. Relying on the superiority of the cavalry, it only took a few hours to catch up.

Homur didn't dare to be careless, and immediately dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to set up a defense line in the rear to cut off the rear for the army.Immediately afterwards, the army was ordered to attack in an all-round way, regardless of casualties, and launched a general attack on Xiaguan.

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of troops began to move slowly in the gorge pass, and the former soldiers swarmed up the high slope, roaring towards the gorge pass.

Seeing this, the eternal defenders immediately used kerosene to build a wall of fire on the high slope in an attempt to stop the enemy's offensive.Unexpectedly, the Wukaner army seemed to be crazy, driving a large number of war horses, pouring into the flames, relying on their flesh and blood, forcefully weakening the flames.Immediately, someone rushed up, charging and throwing the prepared earth bag into the fire.

The Huoyou offensive immediately weakened greatly, and could no longer stop the enemy's charge.The Eternal Defenders panicked immediately, and quickly used arrow rain, gunpowder, and wood and other sharp city defense weapons to stop the enemy's charge.

However, the Wukaner army seemed to have begun to desperately, and they didn't care about it at all. Layers of corpses had accumulated on the high slope, and blood thickened into the melted snow and flowed down.

After all, Xiaguan is just a small pass. When the Wukaner army launched a fierce attack at all costs, they lost their resistance immediately when the arrows and gunpowder ran out and the city defense weapon was damaged.

But after a while, the Wukaner army rushed into the pass, and all three thousand eternal troops died in battle.

Although the gorge was conquered, Homur was not very happy. In order to get through the gorge, tens of thousands of troops were killed or injured, which made him feel distressed.However, at this moment, it was too late for him to restrain the corpses on the battlefield, and the Tianhua army was getting closer and closer, so he had to lead the army to leave the plateau and return to the country as soon as possible.

After the army passed through the gorge pass, Homur did not forget the dangerous pass that had delayed them for nearly two days, and immediately left behind a [-]-strong army to use this pass as a base to block the Tianhua army's footsteps.

Homur looked back to the east, and whispered with a smile on his face: "There will be a period later, Tianhua Army."

Two hours later, I heard a roar from the east, and saw a boundless army rushing towards the canyon.

However, when they arrived at the canyon, they found that the Wukaner army had long disappeared.

Lin Yifan tightened his leather jacket, and after listening to the scout's report, he immediately snorted, "Want to run? No way. The whole army will continue to advance and chase the enemy."

Thus, the army entered the canyon, and soon came under the gorge pass.

Looking at the shadowy Wukaner army above the gorge, the Tianhua army was not impatient.I saw dozens of mortars coming out from the rear, erected under the high slope.When the conical projectile slid down the muzzle, there was a loud noise, and a black shadow shot out from it. In the next second, there was an explosion around the gorge pass, and gunpowder smoke billowed.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, there was a mess above the canyon, and the Wukaner army was in a mess.

But the Tianhua army remained unmoved and continued to fire shells. After several rounds of bombing, although the wall did not collapse, the defenders on it no longer dared to show their faces.

At this time, a group of people in the back row carried dozens of burst rockets, rushed up the high slope, and set up rocket devices one after another at a distance of 30 meters from the wall.After loading the rocket, immediately move the launch tube and aim at the city.As long as there are enemy troops who dare to show their heads, they will be strafed by bursts of rockets.

After everything was arranged, hundreds of people rushed up the high slope and rushed towards the Xia Pass.On them, they carried a large amount of gunpowder, which was used to blast the wall.
