Chapter 942

(PS: Add a new update.)

In the following week, Shu land staged one after another offensive and defensive battles.

The Great Xia Longxiang Army has four field regiments, two offensive echelons, and the troops are divided into four groups. With the assistance of advanced weapons such as mimic aircraft and artillery, the soldiers are not afraid of death or sacrifice, and attack the city all the way.

Surprisingly, the First and Second Legions of Swordsman City were also very bloody. Although Jiangyang County fell a little bit, the spirit of the Longxiang Army was constantly frustrated and suffered heavy losses.

Even the cities that have been conquered have rebellions from time to time.

For this reason, Bai Qi, the commander of the Longxiang Army, had to deploy two divisions into Sichuan again to suppress the rebellion. Daxia's troops left in Yunnan Province only had three divisions left.

The battle in Shu was more difficult than Ouyang Shuo expected.

…………

September 20th, Shudi, Ganluo Pass.

Ganluo Pass is located to the west of the central part of Jiangyang County. Taking Ganluo Pass is equivalent to entering the hinterland of Jiangyang County.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the left vanguard of Daxia, that is, the 10,000 vanguard troops of the Second Army of the Longxiang Army led by Lai Huer, arrived at the foot of the pass under the leadership of the regiment leader Lai Huer.

Tracing back to the source, the Second Army of the Dragon Rising Army is one of the oldest troops in the dynasty. It originated from the earliest militia, and its historical status is even higher than that of the Imperial Guard formed later.

This is a troop with a legacy.

Lai Hu'er has been in charge of the Second Army of the Longxiang Army since he first arrived, and it is inevitable that there will be voices of dissatisfaction in the army. Lai Hu'er also knew this very well, so she was even more eager to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and establish prestige in the army.

The battle of Shu land can be said to be at the right time.

Having been robbed of the first victory by Luo Shixin's department, Lai Hu'er was already holding a sigh of relief in his heart, and he wanted to surpass Luo Shixin's department and make the first contribution in the battle of Shu.

For this reason, Lai Hu'er dropped his luggage and rushed forward with ten thousand vanguard troops.

In Lai Hu'er's mind, as long as Ganluo Pass is taken, the Second Army will be the first army to enter the hinterland of Jiangyang County, and win back a victory in the competition with Luo Shixin's department.

As soon as the troops arrived at the pass, with the cooperation of the mimetic aircraft, the child care department did not take any rest at all, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Ganluo Pass.

As soon as he came up, Lai Huer tried his best.

Cannons, siege vehicles, mobile arrow towers, three bows and eight cowbed crossbows, all available siege equipment, Lai Huer used all the available siege equipment, and organized a death squad as a vanguard.

At critical moments, Lai Nuer even went into battle to boost morale. As a fierce general, Lai Huer's fighting strength is extraordinary, he climbed the city wall fiercely, killed all directions in the formation, and made the enemy terrified.

Such a fierce attack really caught the defenders of Ganluo Pass by surprise. In less than two hours, the impenetrable Ganluo Pass was declared lost and was captured by the Child Care Department.

For this whole set of siege tactics, the vanguard troops around Daxia had already practiced purely, and the efficiency of attacking the pass was getting higher and higher. The geographical advantage of the Shu land was already vulnerable to the Daxia army.

"Victory! Victory!"

Because of the fierce methods, coming to the Children's Care Department made a lot of sacrifices. Even so, it was a big victory after all. Moreover, they were the first army of the dynasty to invade the hinterland of Jiangyang County, so they were honored, so the morale of the whole army was high, and the officers and soldiers recognized Lai Nuer more and more, and the atmosphere at the scene was quite enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Lai Huer smiled knowingly.

Lai Huer is not a reckless general, but sometimes in order to achieve some goals, he must use some means. To build up the military prestige, apart from considering personal interests, Lai Huer is still preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.

At the time of the decisive battle, Lai Hu'er must ensure that the second army absolutely obeys the command of his army leader.

"This little sacrifice is worth it after all." Lai Hu'er thought to herself.

To take down Ganluo Pass, Lai Huer is ready to go all out and take Ganluo City behind the pass in one fell swoop. According to the spy's report, there are only 2,000 local garrison troops stationed in Ganluo City, which is nothing to worry about.

"Assemble the team and follow me into the city!"

Lai Hu'er rode a war horse and rushed towards Ganluo City below.

In addition to leaving 1,000 people to stay at the pass to take care of the wounded, and also to take prisoners of war and take over the defense of the pass, the remaining 7,000 people followed the Lord's future guardian and marched towards Ganluo City in awe-inspiring manner.

The soldiers also wanted to go to the city to have a good meal and sleep well before sunset. This rapid march, coupled with the fierce siege of the city, is a huge waste even for the soldiers of the Longxiang Army.

No one is ironclad.

Lai Huer had no idea that a huge trap was waiting for him and his vanguard.

…………

Ganluo City, a secluded place.

As early as a week before the Children's Care Department arrived at Ganluo Pass, the First Army of Swordsman City, who was ordered to go south, wanted to teach the Great Xia vanguard a lesson.

Being reprimanded by the lord Feng Qingyang, saying that the frontline army is a traitor, Wei Yan is naturally furious, and wants to save face on the battlefield and prove that the soldiers he brought out by Wei Yan are not idiots.

Just like that, Swordsman City's resistance at every pass was quite resolute, which shocked the Great Xia army.

But just this is not enough to restore the glory of the Swordsman City army. Wei Yan is going to do it himself, using the enemy's mentality of "emphasizing passes and despising cities" to teach the Great Xia Army a bloody lesson.

After a little thought, Wei Yan locked his target on the Children's Care Department.

As a general, Wei Yan can be said to empathize with Lai Huer's thoughts. When people have desires, they have weaknesses, and when they have weaknesses, they are easy to be exploited by others.

What Wei Yan wanted to take advantage of was Lai Huer's eagerness to make contributions.

For this reason, Wei Yan divided the First Army of Swordsman City into two, facing the left and right vanguard troops of Shang Daxia respectively, and scattered them at various passes, so as to confuse the eyes of the Daxia army.

Secretly, the army from the west was quietly gathering in Ganluo City.

Right now, Ganluo City seems to be calm, but in fact, Wei Yan has already personally led an army of more than 30,000, disguised as a group of people lurking around the city, waiting to come to the Children's Department to take the bait.

In order to deal with the attack from the left and right sides of Daxia, this is the largest number of troops that Wei Yan can mobilize. If there is more, it is likely to be exposed.

Wei Yan has experienced the level of Da Xia's secret agents, and he never dared to underestimate them.

When Lai Hu'er and his troops arrived at Ganluo Pass, the 30,000 troops also moved quietly, spreading out in all directions with the City Lord's Mansion as the core, weaving a huge net.

"General, the fish is hooked!"

After a little leaning, a disguised sergeant came to Wei Yan's hiding place and reported the frontline military situation.

"How many people are left in the enemy army, is there anything unusual?" Wei Yan asked worriedly.

"The enemy army coming towards Ganluo City is about six or seven thousand people. Judging from the situation, they are very excited. They came straight to the city without even thinking about it. They should not find anything unusual."

"That's good."

Wei Yan was finally relieved, and then murderous looks flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "The Great Xia Army is rampant to this point, and their good days are coming to an end. After the order is passed, all ministries will immediately enter a state of war."

"No!" The herald was also faintly excited.

During this period of time, the Great Xia army had been attacking the city all the way, and there was an aura of "invincible, invincible", which made the swordsman city army very aggrieved and demoralized.

The soldiers have long been looking forward to a beautiful turnaround.

After the herald went, Wei Yan was still a little worried, and asked the lieutenant beside him, "Is the 2,000 garrison in Ganluo City ready? Don't expose me."

"Don't worry, general. In the name of the lord, the last general has issued a military order to the guards to guard the city lord's mansion, and they dare not surrender without a fight."

Wei Yan nodded, and began to close his eyes to rest his mind. The deputy general saw him and quietly retreated.

The 2,000 guards in the city were actually Wei Yan's bait, in order to lure the enemy to the city lord's mansion step by step, and enter the ambush circle set up in advance by the 30,000 troops.

For the sake of secrecy, even the security forces did not know what role they were playing.

None of the generals on the battlefield is cruel.

"Whether there will be the variables that the Lord expects in the battle of Shu land depends on today's battle." For the sake of the overall situation, Wei Yan is not afraid of sacrificing a garrison force.

…………

Lai Hu'er led his troops all the way, and in less than an hour, they arrived at Ganluo City.

Knowing that the Ganluo pass was lost, tens of thousands of people in the city trembled and couldn't run away, so they could only hide in their homes one by one, fearing that they would be affected by the fish in the pond.

The big Ganluo city was unexpectedly deserted.

When Lai Hu'er saw her, she didn't take it seriously, as it was the case with the cities that Gein had laid down earlier.

"Get in!"

Lai Hu'er led the troops, and headed for the City Lord's Mansion with ease. Only by smashing the city stele of the City Lord's Mansion can the occupation of Ganluo City be considered complete.

"kill!"

Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the common people, seven thousand dragons marched into the city mightily.

When we arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion, we saw 2,000 soldiers guarding the square outside, so they were naturally the garrison of Ganluo City. Although everyone was nervous, they didn't mean to surrender.

Since the lord ordered to defend to the death, they would never dare to surrender.

Because once they surrender, their families will be implicated.

To be on the safe side, the family members of the main officers of the garrison division were picked up and sent to the rear. At this time, if they dared to surrender, their families would be buried with them.

In this way, there is only a fight to the death.

When Lai Huer saw them, he sneered: "A mantis is like a car." Then, he waved his hand and said, "Kill them." Facing these local security forces, Lai Huer is really not interested in doing it himself.

"promise!"

With the order of the army, the division of seven thousand tigers and wolves rushed towards the enemy.

All of a sudden, blood flowed like a river on the square of the city lord's mansion, and there were fierce fighting sounds one after another. When the people around heard this, they were even more frightened and dared not show their heads.

There are those who are timid, either hide in the cellar, or plug their ears with cotton.

Lai Hu'er was unmoved, standing in front of the square like an iron tower, watching the fight in front of him silently. He has experienced countless battles, big and small, and he has long been used to it.

Twenty minutes passed, and the security forces retreated to the City Lord's Mansion seeing that they were invincible.

The soldiers of the Longxiang Army did not need the commander to issue another military order, and under the leadership of the captain, they followed into the city lord's mansion, intending to kill this group of diehards one by one.

Lai Hu'er met and was about to follow into the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, the sound of charging came from all around the city lord's mansion, and Lai Huer's face changed drastically.
