There were two rows of lines on the grassland, with so many long crossbows in place, and as long as the head emerged, a rain of arrows shot towards the city tower and the city gate, and rockets were also carried in the rain of arrows.

Chishui Pass had to set up a shield to defend, and tried to go out of the city many times, but failed. Instead, there were fires in several places in the city and they had to defend the city first.

Then he knew that the Dongli army was mainly attacking Yangcheng, and Sha Chongtian knew that he was just being restrained. So after thinking about it, he quietly sent a team out of the west gate to help Yangcheng.

However, the next day, Chishui Pass experienced a fierce attack. Sha Chongtian knew that his strategy of division of troops was discovered by the Dongli army, so he had to urgently cooperate with the people in the city to guard Chishui Pass together.

Although he has not faced the battle head-on in a month, he has had a long battle of blindly many times. Sha Chongtian, who is known as the "Red Fox Sha Coach", has never fought such a frustrating battle.

The opponent's arrow rain seemed to be worthless. As long as the Chishui Pass defenders showed signs of heading, there would be an arrow rain. After each arrow rain between the Dongli Army, it would move forward half a mile or a mile, almost every day.

Behind the Dongli Army, engineers were rushing to build a pass, as if they were going to build a Chishui Pass on the grassland.

Standing behind the thick shield on the city tower, Sha Chongtian felt even more humble when he saw Baihua Mountain getting farther and farther away from him.

Yun Jingning guessed correctly. Although Baihua Mountain is located in the eastern and western borders, it is such a large mountain outside the pass, and it is only a natural barrier and has not been paid attention to in previous years.

On the contrary, Sha Chongtian, who had been guarding Chishui Pass for more than 20 years, had long been coveting this continuous wild mountain and wanted to actually occupy it, so he came up with a plan to release the tiger to guard the mountain and expel the Dongli people.

In recent years, no one has dared to step into this deep mountain forest due to the presence of tigers. Although there are still many wild boars, many of them have become food from the mouths of tigers.

The consequence of letting the tiger return to the mountain is that the wild environment changes naturally, and Chishui Pass does not interfere anymore, and wild hunters in the Dongli Mountain can only move around Shuangxiling.

Lin Ping'an was in trouble and encountered a tiger and happened to come to the outskirts of Wild Boar Ridge, and their hunters also happened to come here.

Afterwards, the hunters did not dare to go forward, and the tiger did not seem to find delicious food in this area, so they went back to the depths of the Wild Boar Ridge.

As for the two tigers that Lin Yanniang and Yun Jingning shot, or were the two of them that Sha Chongtian put into the mountains.

After the Northern Expedition Army entered the Wild Boar Ridge, it also caught one. It was very happy and felt that this was a good omen.

After that, the Wild Boar Ridge was peaceful, and even the Wild Boar was running for life to avoid the crisis of possible extinction.

The Northern Expedition Army was constantly advancing, and at least half of the grassland had become the Dongli grassland. A large area of ​​open space was left under Baihua Mountain, and then the walls were built.

Just like a land sign, it occupies the grasslands at the border with the Northern Desert, labeling its own mountains.

However, the next three rains had adverse effects on the Northern Expedition Army. After all, they were the main attacking side and were at a disadvantage at this time. The Rockets could not be used, and the weather was not good, and it was not conducive to the strong attack.

Fortunately, Yangcheng was broken and Beimo's troops were greatly damaged. The Red Fox Shass Commander was not stubborn. Before Yangcheng fell, he judged the military situation and urgently reported the military situation to the Beimo Imperial Court and requested reinforcements.

After several failed attacks, he chose to retreat firmly, and guarding the pass was his duty.

After Yangcheng was captured, 100,000 defenders were in charge of the aftermath. Yun Jingning only brought 50,000 troops to Chishui Pass to support Qin Lei. The brothers could not talk about the conversation and wanted to take the Chishui Pass in July.

Even if I can't win, I hope to complete the task of land enclosure and construction of outposts before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

If Beimo does not have the supply and demand balance, then continue to fight. After fighting Yangcheng, Huangcheng and Taicheng...

Most of the Northern Expedition Army were young generals, and this time they went to the battle, only half of the elite soldiers in the Northern Expedition Army. The supply from the rear was strong and there was no pressure on this battle.

But the rain is raging and it will delay their progress.

Fortunately, the new Guancheng has been almost completed this month, and there are places that have been destroyed by rain, so we have to repair them urgently.

At this time, Sha Chongtian on the opposite side wanted to attack. Yun Jingning personally fought with him for 300 rounds, and slashed with one shot, almost stabbed Sha Chongtian's throat.

The veteran reacted quickly, and finally returned to the city with a shoulder injury, and then calmed down.

Yun Jingning returned to the camp with a look of annoyance: If he applied poison to the gun, the old thief would be afraid of his life!

If the general dies, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos. Who does not understand this principle?

He promised his wife to take good care of herself, so he protected herself with great care.

By the same token, he certainly hopes that the other party will die early so that he can steal the city early and go back to accompany his wife.

Seeing that his great general said such petty words, Qin Lei was both angry and funny, and didn't know what he was good at for a moment.

The battlefield was fierce and the battle situation was in full swing, but because the reinforcements in the Beimo River were delayed, Yangcheng was still defending the troops in the East Li and North Expedition.

Sha Chongtian had a wound on his shoulder and could not move his long sword. It is not suitable to fight for the time being, but whenever the rain stopped, the rockets of the Northern Expedition Army would definitely come with the rain of arrows.

These strong attacks did not give Sha Chongtian a chance to breathe. The people in the city have been driven away by Sha Chongtian for this month, allowing them to escape to the city behind.

Now there are only defenders in Chishui Pass, so they are not afraid of any losses. However, the strength and arrogance of the Northern Expedition Army also make the Chishui defenders angry, and they all shouted that they would fight to the death and defend the city to the death.

But the army is still panicked. If they can survive, who would die?

In late July, the heavy rain finally stopped. It was cool for two days. The temperature suddenly rose under the scorching sun, and waves of heat could be felt on the grassland.

The gold-plated city plaque of "Baihuaguan" has been hung on the newly built city wall, but the city gate is heading towards the other end of the official road, and the only response to Chishuiguan here is the whistle tower.

Behind the city wall is the mother and son wall, there is a hidden military cave, a large camp of defenders in the rear, and then at the foot of Baihua Mountain.

The Northern Expedition Army camp was still in front of the city wall, moving forward every day, not much, but the subtleties could make the guards at Chishui Pass panic.

The camp only had the last camp open every day and moved to the front. This repeated, like a measure of the ground and the ruler. In those days when the sand was recovering from the wounds, it moved forward slightly without stopping even when it rained.

Now the troops are at the city.

Chishui Pass had to close the city gates and prepare a large amount of tincture and rolling stones. As long as the Northern Expedition Army attacked the city, it launched a crazy counterattack.

The Northern Expedition Army did not attack the city.

Yun Jingning ordered the removal of the 50,000 troops stationed in Sanchakou Town and moved to Chishui Pass to encircle the city, intending to encircle but not attack, and truly turn this grassland into a pasture for the Northern Expedition Army to release horses.

In the last two days of July, Sanchakou Town suddenly lifted the martial law. Two more days later, the yamen sent people to various villages to convey the news.
Chapter completed!
