Chapter 860 Raid on the Kunlun Mountain Pass
Eight days later, Chen Rui led a long-distance attack with [-] cavalry, and finally crossed more than [-] miles, and arrived at a place less than [-] miles north of the Kunlun Mountain Pass.

After resting in a mountain depression for a day, the army immediately set off and ran towards the mountain pass.

The Kunlun Pass is located in the north of the plateau, at the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains.It is the best way to enter and leave the plateau among the thousands of miles of Kunlun Mountains.

Therefore, throughout the ages, Eternal has hoarded heavy troops here to guard against invasion from the Western Regions.Especially after the Tianhua Army occupied the Western Regions, Eternal immediately mobilized [-] troops to guard the mountain pass. Even if the large army went out, not a single soldier was recruited from the garrison here.

The mountain pass guards the Kunlun Mountain Road. The terrain is steep and condescending. It is not so easy to take down this fortress.

There was a trace of solemnity in Chen Rui's eyes. The fortress is not easy to hold, and its general is not an easy character to deal with.Because the chief general of Kunlun Fortress was Kunmujia who had fought side by side with them.

During the few months of getting along in those years, Chen Rui also knew Kunmujia quite well, and knew that this person was not a reckless general.And his understanding of the Tianhua Army is higher than that of the Eternal Generals.That's why he was appointed as the chief general of the fortress to guard against Tianhua.

Just arrived at the fortress for more than [-] miles, I saw the eternal ranger, which shows the depth of the opponent's defense.

Chen Rui ordered the scouts to wipe out the Eternal Rangers along the way, and the army continued to move forward at the same speed.

Soon, the cavalry rumbled, and when they approached the fortress, they were discovered by the opponent.Then the horns sounded, and the gate of the fort slowly closed.

At this time, there are only less than five miles away from the fortress, and there is still a chance.Chen Rui immediately ordered a thousand vanguard cavalry to change horses, carry a large amount of explosives, and rush towards the fortress at high speed.

"Boom boom boom!"

When the cavalry approached within one mile, hundreds of cannons fired at the top of the city, smashing at the Tianhua cavalry at high speed.

Many cavalry who had no time to dodge were instantly smashed into a puddle of mud.However, a thousand cavalry were scattered under the city, and they still charged at the gate of the city without slowing down.

"Shooting arrows!" When they reached nearly [-] meters, arrows rained down from the top of the city like locusts, flying down densely, and a large number of cavalry fell on the charge road.

Afterwards, the remaining hundreds of cavalry rushed to the city gate one after another, threw explosives towards the gate of the city, and then set up their shields and patted their horses to retreat.

When a certain amount of explosives is accumulated, dozens of rockets fly in and insert into the pile of explosives.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the fortress was shaken, and the Eternal Army lay down on the ground, trembling.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the gate of the city had been blasted open.

Chen Rui was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack and seize the city gate.

However, when the army approached the city gate, there was a roar in the city.Immediately, hundreds of yaks poured out from the gate of the city like crazy, and ruthlessly crashed into the Tianhua cavalry.

The Tianhua army was in a state of disarray immediately, and retreated one after another.Immediately, inside the city gate, a group of tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out to kill the Tianhua army.

Seeing this, Chen Rui was terrified, and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.

After gathering tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the rear, Chen Rui formed a charge formation, and only waited for the cavalry in front to withdraw, then quickly attacked, stopped the eternal cavalry, and wiped it out on the spot.

Unexpectedly, after charging for a mile, the Eternal Cavalry turned back abruptly and watched a large number of Tianhua Cavalry flee.

The first battle was unfavorable, and Chen Rui's face suddenly turned livid.Since the surprise attack fails, there will be no possibility of capture in the future.

Not long after, the gate of the fortress was blocked by heavy objects, cutting off all possibilities for the cavalry.

According to post-war statistics, after this battle, the Tianhua Army killed and injured more than 3000 people, which can be described as a heavy loss.If the opponent continues to chase and kill, I am afraid that the number of casualties will exceed five thousand.

Two hours later, Chen Rui looked deeply at the fortress, and ordered in a deep voice: "Retreat!"

In the fortress at this time, Kun Mujia watched the Tianhua cavalry leave, not only did not have any joy in his eyes, but he was even more worried.

He turned to look at his general, and said in a deep voice, "Report to Shendu immediately, Tianhua has started a war."

Afterwards, he ordered: "Immediately lead [-] soldiers and horses to the other main roads for reinforcements. If the general's expectations are not bad, the opponent should choose to pass through other mountain passes."

"But general, there are at least a dozen other mountain roads, and if there are only [-] soldiers and horses, which one should we guard against?" The general couldn't help but wonder.

"I don't know, so I have to send troops to guard and monitor every one." Kun Mujia said in a deep voice, "I will send [-] cavalry as a backup. If you find the enemy, report it immediately, and the cavalry will rush to support." "

"Here, general, if we divide our troops in this way, there will only be more than 2 people left in our fortress." Another general couldn't help but said in surprise, "According to information, there are at least 2 troops stationed in the Tianhua Western Regions. Only three people came here just now." Thousands of cavalry, and [-] troops are coming behind, can we hold back the enemy's attack with only [-] of us?"

"If you can't do it, you have to block it." Kunmujia said sharply, "Tianhua's massive attack on me is definitely more than this force. If the general expects it, Yulong City in the east has already been attacked by Tianhua. Now We can only desperately block the Tianhua army until the reinforcements from Shendu arrive."

"Shendu only has [-] troops, I'm afraid there won't be many reinforcements coming." The general said worriedly.

"In case Jade Dragon City is breached, there is no point for us to defend here."

"His Majesty the Divine Emperor is currently in Vientiane, and he won't be able to come back soon. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist Tianhua." . . .

There was a lot of discussion among the people, full of pessimism.Tianhua is really too powerful, constantly annexing other countries, with a huge territory and a large population.Eternal's previous battles with Tianhua all ended in failure, which has caused everyone to fear China.

Seeing this, Kunmujia couldn't help being furious, and shouted sharply: "How can you be so discouraged? Yes, Tianhua is indeed very strong now. But, everyone, don't forget that not everyone can conquer our Eternal Plateau? All the failures were because we gave up the advantages of the plateau and were defeated in the Central Plains. However, there has never been a dynasty in the Central Plains that was able to attack the plateau.”

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and the worry on their faces suddenly eased a little.

Kun Mujia immediately continued, "Now, we occupy the plateau, so what if the fortress can't be defended? Thousands of miles of plateau, our battlefields are everywhere. If the Tianhua army really goes to the plateau, we will definitely be able to make them come and go. back."

The morale of the generals immediately recovered, and only then did they realize that the Tianhua Army was not really invincible.Now they occupy a favorable location, but the Tianhua army cannot adapt to the climate of the plateau, and they may not be able to win the battle.

Seeing that the morale of the generals had recovered, Kun Mujia breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the generals to execute the military order immediately, preparing for a decisive battle with the Tianhua Army.

At this time, after withdrawing from the mountain pass, Chen Rui spread out the map, looking for a passage suitable for crossing into the plateau.

Immediately, he nailed his finger on a red line, his eyes were cold.
