From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 172: Great victory in the first battle! (Please subscribe~)

He turned around and saw Le Huang stabbing at him with a sword, as if he wanted to pierce him directly in mid-air!
Oops!
In this crisis, Wu Fengdeng had no time to hesitate. He immediately gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand. The long sword arrived in an instant and grabbed it directly!
"Ok?"

Le Huang was slightly stunned, and before he could react to what he meant, he saw a ferocious look on his face, and he suddenly pulled his sword and threw it downwards.

By the way, Le Huang also accelerated his descent, and Wu Fengdeng took this opportunity to hug him directly on his back.

"If you're brave enough, you'll fall to your death!"

Le Huang finally understood his purpose, and golden spiritual energy instantly exploded on his body, trying to shake Wu Fengdeng down.

"Let go of the damn thing!"

However, Wu Fengdeng had already locked his neck at this time, with his arms locked tightly in a triangle shape. The latter could not break free at all. Instead, his brows were furrowed and his face turned red due to difficulty breathing.

boom!
This was not the end yet. As Wu Fengdeng's mind moved, the red lotus fire in his dantian surged out and instantly burned the two of them into a fireball.

Ahhhhh!

Wu Fengdeng's fire could not burn him, but Le Huang was burned severely by the red lotus fire. He was caught off guard and screamed in agony, and his voice could be heard throughout the battlefield.

It immediately attracted countless eyes, especially the deputy generals of the Wei army, who all stared in amazement at the red fireball falling rapidly in the sky.

"Young elder!"

Uncle Li was horrified, and his shouting finally reached Le Huang's ears, bringing him some clarity from the extreme pain. He quickly used all his strength to release the golden spiritual energy, and then used his absolute cultivation to suppress the red lotus karma fire.

Then his vision turned, and he suddenly found that he was only three meters away from the ground!

Although the Qi Containment Realm can fly in the air with the wind, it does not mean that one will not get hurt if he falls from such a height. Frightened, Le Huang quickly used his Qi to step on air to stop his fall.

"Your mount is disobedient and is no better than a beast."

A sudden sound in his ear made him realize that Wu Fengdeng was still on his back!
"asshole!"

Le Huang swept his sword across angrily, and the long sword flashed through the air, but it didn't even touch Wu Fengdeng's hair. He had already jumped down and landed steadily on the top of the city wall.

"General Le, you are still young."

Wu Fengdeng raised his middle finger at him with a mocking tone.

giggle~
Le Huang was so angry that his face turned blue and he wished he could break a few of his teeth.

He wanted to throw it high into the air to completely disable it, and then kill it with a finishing blow. However, he didn't expect that this guy would grab the sword with his hands and ride on him!
You can't just fall to death, right?

"You are such a treacherous and cunning person, I will chop you to pieces!"

Le Huang became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He was about to pick up his sword and go into battle again, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the battlefield on the ground.

At this time, the fire on the ground had been extinguished, and the Wei army's battering rams were transported to the foot of the city, and the catapults in the rear were also rumbling.

But even so, they made no progress at all except leaving corpses on the ground!
I don't know how the earth was rammed and bricks were laid, but although the entire wall of Xuanyuan Pass was not high, it was extremely solid. Even catapults could only leave some shallow pits on it.

Not to mention the well-coordinated defense of the Qin army. Three rows of archers took turns shooting arrows. When the ladders approached, Qin soldiers would emerge from the cracks in the wall, and rolling stones and wooden stakes would crash down.

In addition, there are some spearmen standing in various gaps. If any trapped Wei soldiers approach the top of the city wall, they will be stabbed suddenly and unexpectedly!

In the limited space on the city wall, so many people were not in the slightest panic. Everyone occupied a fixed position and played their role.

Those who were defending were defending, those who were transporting supplies were transporting supplies, and the order was stable as if they were all under control at the same time.

"This……"

Even though Le Huang was well-versed in military tactics and troop training, he was still quite surprised. It was the first time he had seen such a well-organized army. He could even find the shadow of Li Mu of the Great Wall of Shenzhou training among them.

"No, this is bad. The Qin army is so well prepared. Even if all the soldiers die, we won't be able to capture the city!"

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

Such a cruel reality completely extinguished his anger like cold water. Without caring about revenge, he quickly ordered a retreat.

He originally thought that the wall of Xuanyuan Pass was not high, and the Qin army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of both manpower and the number of strong men, so his side could completely crush them by force of attack.

But looking at it this way, I still greatly underestimated Wu Fengdeng.

This Xuanyuan Pass is far from being as simple as it looks!
Buzz~~

The retreat horn sounded, and the Wei army retreated like a tide.

"The Wei army has retreated!"

Li Qun on the city wall clenched his fists excitedly, and the Qin soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy.

In this first battle, they only lost dozens of people at the north gate, while the number of corpses of the Wei army below was at least five or six hundred!

It can be called a great victory in the first battle!

"Brother Fengdeng, let me see your hand."

Wu Fengdeng raised the hand that had just held the sword, and it was already bloody from being scratched by Le Huang's spiritual energy. Jiang Qiyu practiced his internal energy to heal the wound with great heartache.

However, he did not care much about it. He called Li Qun and ordered: "Hurry up and order the craftsmen to repair the city walls and replenish arrows and other supplies."

"Open the other gates and bring in all the bodies of the Wei army outside. Seize their weapons and put them in the armory. Pile the bodies on the tower for use in the next battle."

"Here!"

Li Qun had already adapted to Wu Fengdeng's combat style and immediately assigned the task with ease.

A moment later, at the county government office.

Wu Fengdeng was sitting on a chair, and all his lieutenants and captains had gathered.

"General Wu, we lost 63 people at the East Gate in this battle, and killed 407 enemies in total. The city wall was slightly damaged, but the city gate is intact."

"Simon..."

"South Gate..."

"Grain nest..."

"logistics……"

The officers in charge of each department reported the battle situation one by one. Wu Fengdeng listened attentively and memorized every piece of data accurately.

Overall, Wu Fengdeng's side won a great victory in this battle. What is particularly worth celebrating is that the work on the city wall day and night these days has finally paid off. The city wall is extremely strong, which is why their losses in this battle are so minor.

"Very good. Each unit performed well. Record their merits." Wu Fengdeng raised his hand, and the quartermaster clerk beside him quickly wrote down the merits.

"The reason why this battle was a great victory was that we were well prepared, and the other was that the Wei army was careless and rushed to attack without formulating tactics."

"After this battle, their next attack will definitely be targeted, which means that defending the city next time will be much more difficult than this time. When you return to the camp, tell the soldiers not to be proud or lazy."

Wu Fengdeng said some encouraging words, and the generals nodded one after another: "I understand!"

"Okay, let's go."

"Here!"

After everyone dispersed, the sky was already dark. Qingdai came over carrying a basket of steamed buns and a whole golden roasted pork thigh.

"Ouch, it's so heavy~"

"Mr. Wu, Miss Jiang, let's have dinner!"

Qingdai put her hands on her hips, her face flushed and slightly ashy. "Let's eat together."

Wu Fengdeng was already starving. After checking the military merit book, he couldn't wait to eat and let the two women eat with him.

Although the meal was simple, the peace at the moment was hard-earned. The orange candlelight illuminated the lobby, in stark contrast to the cold and snowy weather outside.

After the meal, Wu Fengdeng let them rest, while he stayed here to practice.

Today's battle alone with Le Huang, who was in the Cang Qi realm, brought him a lot of gains.

"From the perspective of strength alone, I am not much different from the early stage of the Qi Conservation Realm, but I still cannot compare with him in terms of endurance."

"The red lotus fire in my dantian will be gone once it is used up, but Le Huang has the elixir that can provide a steady supply of spiritual energy, so from now on, if we don't want to fight him, then forget it. If we have to fight, we have to resolve it as soon as possible without delay."

"In that case, the Dark Blood Arrow and Tyrannical Spear Intent are the means to defeat the enemy. When we find an opportunity in the future, we must kill Le Huang first."

"Besides that, I have to prevent him from lifting me into the air again. This time he was careless, but if he succeeds next time, he will definitely watch me fall to my death."

"That's about it. Anyway, we must be extremely careful in the next battle."

Wu Fengdeng closed his eyes for a moment, then cleared his mind and began to practice with full concentration.

No matter what, the key is to improve your cultivation first!

The Wei army camp was dead silent.

Looking at the horrific battle report in his hand, Le Huang gritted his teeth and tried his best not to lose his composure in front of everyone.

After a moment, Fang sneered and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that Wu Fengdeng is really good at defending the city. It seems that we have to fight them seriously!"

The generals were slightly surprised when they heard what he said. They thought he would be furious, but they didn't expect him to just downplay the battle report?

Then, they trembled with fear in their hearts.

This is not relief at all, it's clearly just holding back anger.

In this battle, the Wei army lost more than 3,000 people and two ladders. They paid this price, but in return they got no progress in the war!

It was a bad start and dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the entire army.

"Young Elder, fellow generals, in my opinion, the reason why our army is not making good progress in this battle is entirely due to our unfamiliarity with the defense of Xuanyuan Pass."

"Otherwise, how could our Great Wei warriors, the elite troops led by the young elder, not be able to capture even a small city?"

Uncle Li next to him stepped forward to smooth things over, laughing and saying, "So, as long as our army formulates a detailed attack strategy, Xuanyuan Pass is just a small city, how can it stop our great Wei warriors?"

After he said this, the other deputy generals also began to follow suit.

"General Le Li is absolutely right!"

"The reason we lost today is entirely because we are not familiar with Wu Fengdeng's men!"

"In my opinion, Wu Fengdeng is just a coward. Without this city wall, how can he fight against us?"

"Yes, he is still in the late stage of Tuo Dan, and he is no match for General Le. He just got lucky today. I will definitely kill him next time!"

……

The atmosphere finally became lively. Le Huangfang raised his hand to stop everyone from talking, and said slowly: "Everyone, as the saying goes, good things are never too late. We must not be impatient to take Xuanyuan Pass."

"First, separate the divisions and besiege the city without attacking it. Wait for the scouts to find out the details of the city's defenses before making plans for an attack."

"Here!"

All the generals received the order and went out, and the agitation tent gradually became empty.

Snapped!
But then the bamboo slips of battle report fell heavily to the ground.

"Damn Wu Fengdeng! I will definitely sacrifice his head as a sacrifice!" Le Huang's face was ferocious, and the pent-up anger finally burst out.

He regarded the disadvantage in today's battle as a disgrace to all living beings!

Uncle Li beside him could only smile bitterly as he picked up the battle report and advised, "Young elder, calm down. Wu Fengdeng has always been difficult to deal with, otherwise the family wouldn't discuss him so often."

"But it is precisely because of this that a man of his talent and ability is worthy of being your opponent, your whetstone, and a stepping stone for you to ascend to the glory of your ancestors."

Whoosh! Whoosh~
After listening to Uncle Li's words, Le Huang's expression looked a little better, and then he snorted heavily.

"You are right. Killing an opponent like this will not be a disgrace to my status as a general!"

……

In the remaining days, the area around Xuanyuan Pass became completely quiet. The Wei army cleared the snow and set up camp, as if they were going to besiege Xuanyuan Pass.

That day, on the city wall.

"Could it be that the Wei army intends to surround us without attacking, waiting for our army's food, fodder and water to run out?"

Li Qun frowned as he looked at the Wei army training in the distance.

Wu Fengdeng said calmly: "They don't have the patience."

"This is the first battle of Wei's invasion of Qin. It may even be the first army to engage in battle with Qin. We must strive to win a quick victory and gain the first merit."

"Besides, the Wei army attacked Xuanyuan Pass, most likely to open up the supply line to the south. If they waste several months besieging the city, it will be difficult for the Wei army in other directions to get supplies."

"So they won't adopt a siege tactic. This move is probably to find out the deployment of our city defense so that they can launch a targeted attack."

His words made everyone around him nod their heads in agreement.

Wu Fengdeng fell silent and squinted his eyes to look at the Wei army camp. Others might not be able to see clearly, but with his eagle eyes, he could clearly see that the Wei army was carrying stones and repairing catapults and ladders.

In addition, compared with the previous few days, some deputy generals' troops have also been adjusted.

"Do you already have an attack plan?"

Wu Fengdeng took a deep breath and said, "So, make some adjustments to the deployment of the garrisons at each gate. The archers and throwers swap positions, the spearmen withdraw, and the shield soldiers come up. The Wei army's next attack will most likely include crossbowmen."

"When they attack, we will first consume the corpses of the Wei army, set them all on fire and throw them down at once. Hitting people is secondary. The goal is to create obstacles on the ground."

"Also, be on high alert tonight, as the Wei army is about to launch a second wave of attack."

His orders quickly spread throughout Xuanyuan Pass, and everyone carried them out strictly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After all, the last battle was enough to prove the wisdom of Wu Fengdeng's decision. Anyone who did not listen would undoubtedly be seeking death.

However, it turned out that Wu Fengdeng's judgment was completely correct. That night, the Wei army launched a second wave of attack.

This time they were no longer rushing around like last time, but were extremely orderly.

The shield soldiers provided cover in the front, followed by ladders, and the vanguard troops attacked in an orderly cycle, with archers hiding among them.

When they were halfway up the mountain, archers appeared and tried to shoot the spearmen in the gaps on the city wall at close range.

However, when they raised their arrows, they could only see shields on the top of the city wall that were raised like fish scales, and all the Qin army archers and soldiers were covered inside.

They raised their arrows... but in vain.

It’s better not to have an erection.
