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

Chapter 173 Snow and Quicksand, Xuanyuan Pass in Danger! (Please subscribe~)

Boom~~

Suddenly, large strips of fire fell, and the scene became even more chaotic.

In the Wei army camp, Le Huang tightly grasped his sword and looked at the battlefield. His originally confident expression gradually became solemn.

What, something is different?

Why do the strategies we formulate seem to be all misplaced? !
"Oh no! Wu Fengdeng must have changed his defense at the last minute!" It was Uncle Li next to him who was more experienced and reacted first.

Spiritual energy burst out of Le Huang's body angrily, and he stared at the red figure on the top of the city with bloodshot eyes.

"Young Elder, let's withdraw our troops first!"

"No!"

Instead of withdrawing his troops, Le Huang drew out his sword with an extremely determined look in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter if the strategy is misplaced, as long as the generals adjust. I don't believe it. This second..."

"……third……"

"……fourth……"

“…Fifth attack, and still can’t take Xuanyuan Pass! Ahhhhh!”

Under the bright sunshine, Le Huang was so angry that his body was shaking, his voice was hysterical, and he even grabbed a snowball and threw it at Xuanyuan Pass without caring about his image.

Deceiving too much!

He changed his strategy many times over the past few days, but Wu Fengdeng seemed to have predicted the future and changed his defense after each battle, making all four attacks organized by Lehuang go to waste!

What a bully!
"Young elder! Young elder!"

Seeing that Le Huang was about to fall to the ground due to anger, Uncle Li beside him quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, you are our backbone!"

"As the saying goes, the art of war is to use deception. Since we can't attack by force, let's think of a clever way!"

"A clever method... how can it be easy..."

"No, I already have a solution!"

Uncle Li said this in a decisive tone, and then pointed to the mountain to the east of Xuanyuan Pass.

"Young elder, Snow Quicksand!"

……

Xuanyuan Pass.

"…This is the fifth time our army has repelled the Wei army. All units have performed well. We commend them and hope that they will continue to work hard in the future. Now go back."

Wu Fengdeng made a brief summary, then looked towards the Wei army in the distance, where they were silently gathering their soldiers, and his expression seemed slightly relaxed.

"In these five attacks, the Wei army has lost more than 10,000 soldiers, while our army only has 2,000 soldiers. If we continue to fight like this, the Wei army will be defeated sooner or later."

"But this is probably impossible. After so many losses, if Le Huang has any brains, he will have to think of other ways to attack the city."

"After all, their vanguard troops still have to continue advancing southward. If they lose too many troops here, it will not be worth the loss."

"What will they come up with..."

Wu Fengdeng fell into deep thought, and after a moment an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"But regardless of what they think, can our army plan a counterattack?"

"After these five successful repulses, the morale of the Qin and Wei armies is very different. I guess all the soldiers are eager to leave the city and counterattack. Well, this is a good opportunity."

"However, the risk is still quite high. To be on the safe side, we should not act rashly..."

He stood there thinking for a long time, until Jiang Qiyu beside him called him to eat, then he brought his thoughts back to reality.

"You've been thinking about this for so long, aren't you tired?"

She touched Wu Fengdeng's forehead, and as the green light flashed in her hand, he felt refreshed all over.

"It's time to take a break. If I keep meditating like this every day, it will damage my energy and spirit." Jiang Qiyu said helplessly.

Since the war broke out, Wu Fengdeng would often be in a daze and deep thought, sometimes for a few breaths, sometimes for three or four quarters of an hour. Although it was proven that his careful considerations were useful, it was also really heartbreaking to watch.

If possible, she would rather Wu Fengdeng fight more.

Today it’s pork leg pancake as usual.

While eating, Wu Fengdeng accidentally caught a glimpse of the shining mountains in the distance.

At this time, the heavy snow has stopped, the cold wind is weak, the blue sky is sprinkled with sunshine, and the thick layer of snow on the mountain peaks is white and elegant, which is quite a beautiful sight.

But for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Miss Jiang, try this smoked meat. County Magistrate Han sent it here specially today."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Wu?"

Wu Fengdeng turned around after hearing Qingdai's voice and saw that there were a few thick slices of bacon in the bowl in front of him.

"What are you looking at? You seem to be worried about something."

Qingdai keenly noticed that Wu Fengdeng was absent-minded. Jiang Qiyu beside him also put down his bowl and chopsticks with a suspicious look on his face.

Wu Fengdeng said in a deep voice: "Yes, indeed, I always feel that there may be something fishy going on with the Wei army."

When it comes to military affairs, Qingdai would shut up obediently. Jiang Qiyu didn't know what to say either, so he just followed his gaze and looked towards the distant mountains.

"General Wu!"

At this moment, a scout commander came running over, bowed and clasped his fists, saying: "We brothers just saw some Wei troops going up the east mountain!"

"how many?"

"About three or four hundred people! I noticed they didn't have baskets or hammers on their backs, so they probably weren't going to quarry."

Wu Fengdeng felt something was wrong when he heard this.

Now that the Wei army's attack has been blocked, if he were in the Wei army's shoes, he would definitely give up the idea of ​​using superior forces to attack and instead use other strategies.

Fire attack, flooding, smoke attack and more!

"But it's the middle of winter now, and it's hard for water and fire to form. So why are they going to the mountains?"

"What's on the mountain? What's the advantage of being high up? From the mountain you can overlook Xuanyuan Pass. Are you trying to use this method to survey my defenses?"

"No, it shouldn't be. If the scouts wanted to explore, they wouldn't have to climb so high. Moreover, they mobilized hundreds of people. This is undoubtedly a waste of time."

"If it weren't for the advantage of being at a high altitude, there would only be rocks on the mountain. But the scout just said that they don't seem to be quarrying rocks. In that case, then there would only be... snow?"

"Snow!"

Wu Fengdeng's heart tightened, and he quickly ordered: "Notify General Wu Longfeng in the east, all soldiers should be ready to evacuate the city wall, and immediately withdraw after my order, and deploy at the three nearest ramps inside the wall."

"Also notify the craftsmen to mix the mud and prepare the bricks immediately!"

"And General Wang Zhong, who is in charge of the official granary in the east, will organize soldiers to transport the grain to the west now."

"Here!"

Although the scout commander did not understand what Wu Fengdeng's order meant, when he saw his extremely solemn expression, he knew that something was wrong and ran away at full speed.

Wu Fengdeng took a deep breath and paused for a moment.

"I guess Le Huang's grandson wants to start an avalanche and destroy the city wall!"

"It's a sunny day now, and it has snowed for more than half a month. A thick layer of snow has accumulated on the eastern mountain. If it really rolls down with huge rocks... it would be terrifying!"

"As for the west, there's no need to worry. It's too far away and poses no threat for the time being. The only threat is the east!"

He instantly entered a state of concentration and came up with a solution after a moment.

"Li Qun!"

"I am here!" "I order you to lead 5,000 cavalrymen to secretly leave the city and bypass the mountains on the west..."

Wu Fengdeng told Li Qun the plan in great detail. Li Qun's eyes were filled with determination when he heard it. He clasped his fists and shouted, "General Wu, rest assured. I will fulfill your orders!"

"Go."

"Here!"

After issuing all the countermeasures, Wu Fengdeng's face became visibly gloomy as he stared at the snow-capped mountains in the east.

"Brother Fengdeng, what is this?" Jiang Qiyu stepped forward and asked at this moment.

Wu Fengdeng did not hide it: "The Wei army is probably going to cause an avalanche to attack the city this time."

"avalanche?"

Jiang Qiyu was stunned for a moment, then he said thoughtfully: "Are you talking about... Snow Quicksand?"

"Yeah, that's what I mean."

Wu Fengdeng explained: "Since the Wei army has been unable to capture the city for a long time, they will definitely resort to unexpected tactics. The scouts just reported that the Wei army was going up the mountain, which means they were preparing for it."

"There is a heavy snow pile up now, and it is sunny. If there is some external force, it is entirely possible to cause the snow and sand to come down."

"In the face of this great force of nature, our walls will probably not be able to withstand it."

The principle is similar to the previous forest fire and smoke caused by Wu Fengdeng, both of which were to provoke natural disasters to attack the city.

If Wu Fengdeng were in Le Huang's current position, he would probably do the same.

And this could not be stopped. If Wu Fengdeng sent people or went out of the city himself to stop it, the Wei army would have an opportunity to take advantage.

So, he could only do what he could to make up for it afterwards.

Jiang Qiyu gradually understood and said suddenly, "I see. This is really a catastrophe for Xuanyuan Pass."

Soon, Wu Fengdeng's order made all the soldiers in the city nervous, especially the defenders in the east and the soldiers guarding the grain, who were all busy deploying their evacuation.

The defenders on the city wall had not made any moves yet, they were all on alert, but all the supplies such as arrows and boulders were transported downstairs.

On the ground, more defenders were clearing out residents in the alleys and setting up defenses, while many prisoners of war and slaves were busy mixing mud and moving bricks under the supervision of craftsmen.

Deputy General Wu Longfeng stood on the east city gate and kept shouting at the people below: "Drive out all the civilians in the three nearby roads, leaving no one behind. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, I won't care who gets involved!"

"Have you prepared the mud? It's cold now, so keep an eye on it. If you freeze and miss the chance to fight, you will be killed without mercy!"

"..."

As he was giving the order, Wu Longfeng caught a glimpse of Wu Fengdeng walking along the corridor on the top of the city wall. He immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "General Wu! I have already given the order as you instructed!"

At this time, he had inspected the whole place, and nodded, "Very good. This time, the Wei army is going to use snow and quicksand to break into the city, and your burden at the East Gate is the heaviest."

"I have mobilized 3,000 mobile forces and 2,000 troops from the west and south gates, a total of 5,000 troops to be under your command."

Wu Fengdeng patted him on the shoulder with a solemn expression.

Once the East City was breached, it would undoubtedly become the target of the Wei army. But at the same time, they had to use their strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, so Wu Fengdeng did not mobilize all his troops here.

It won’t be too late to make adjustments then.

"General Wu, please rest assured that I will live and die with the East City defense line!" Wu Longfeng said firmly.

And the fact turned out to be just as Wu Fengdeng had expected. When the sun was setting, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the eastern sky.

All the officers, soldiers and civilians in Xuanyuan Guanzhong heard the noise and looked up, then were filled with horror.

"Snow Quicksand! Snow Quicksand is coming!"

Xuanyuan Pass has existed here for hundreds of years, and it is common for it to suffer snowstorms in the dead of winter, so everyone in the city reacted almost instantly.

At the East City Gate, Wu Fengdeng looked far to the east and saw the eastern mountains, like a waterfall from the sky, with large expanses of white pouring down, and the rumbling sound was extremely dull.

The mountains were shaking, the ground was shaking, and even the city wall under Wu Fengdeng's feet was trembling.

"withdraw!"

Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered all the soldiers on the city wall to evacuate and return to the ground to deploy their defenses and be ready for battle.

At the same time, Wei army camp.

Le Huang stood on the sedan chair, gazing at the rolling white waves on the southeast mountains. His face, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally showed a long-lost smile.

Previously, he believed that his mind was indeed blinded by hatred, but seeing this scene, he was really moved.

Why didn’t I think of such a good idea at the beginning!

But fortunately, it is not too late, and after so many days of accumulation, the power of the snow quicksand will surely become more ferocious!
"Okay, okay, God help me!"

Uncle Li beside him stroked his gray goatee and said with a chuckle, "The power of nature is so terrifying. Wu Fengdeng would never have thought that it was the mountain snow of his Qin State that destroyed his city wall!"

"Uncle Li, you have done a great job this time. It turns out that the old ones are the wisest!"

"No, no, I am just making a suggestion. The young elder is wise and decisive!"

"hehe."

Le Huang finally saw the hope of victory, raised his hand and said loudly: "Order the main forces of the entire army to prepare for battle immediately and prepare to attack according to the plan!"

"This time, I will make Wu Fengdeng admit defeat sincerely!"

"As ordered!"

At the command, all the main forces of the Wei army began to gear up, and their originally low morale became increasingly higher as the scale of the avalanche grew!

Finally, under the gazes of hundreds of thousands of people, endless white waves finally poured down from the mountain, and the extremely dull rumble made people's eardrums tremble.

Then, it slammed into the east gate of Xuanyuan Pass.

The city wall, which had been severely reinforced by Wu Fengdeng's men and had once stood firm against the fierce attacks of the Wei army, began to shake in an instant.

Kaka! !
Then, gaps were finally blasted out, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and even in the eyes of the Wei army far away, they could see that the city wall was like paper, with holes one after another smashed by the snow waves mixed with stones.

"it is good!"

"Smash them to death!"

"Hahaha, now that the city wall is broken, the Qin army will suffer heavy losses!"

"Brothers, our chance has come!"

……

Upon seeing this, the Wei soldiers cheered and danced, feeling extremely relieved.

These days, they have been hit so hard by the city wall!

Countless brothers were killed or injured because of it, and the morale of the Wei army, which was originally eager to fight and wanted to take advantage of the four countries' alliance to avenge their previous humiliation, was greatly dampened.

But now it’s different, they finally have the chance to take revenge!

woo~~
When the avalanche began to stop, the Wei army suddenly sounded the attack horn, and a large number of Wei soldiers rushed forward shouting.

Wu Fengdeng had already taken the lead in standing on the top of the ruined city wall. After the impact of the avalanche, more than half of the city wall had been destroyed, and the city gate had been broken open. Only three-tenths of the position could be considered intact.

"Go up to the city and meet the enemy!"

Wu Fengdeng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his angry shouts were heard. The Qin army, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly climbed onto the broken city wall.

There were no more than a hundred of them, and the vast majority of the rest were blocking the ground, ready for battle.

shhhhhh!
In a moment, the war broke out again. The Wei army cleared the snow as quickly as possible. The flood quickly pushed the snow away and then poured into the gap.

The archers on the top of the city wall hardly needed to aim, and the Wei soldiers below no longer tried to dodge, they all rushed to the gap.

In front of this gap into the city, the arrows shot by the archers on the city wall were nothing more than drizzle.

At this time, there was a sharp whistling sound in the air.

"Wu Fengdeng, die!"
