Four Waters Pass was an important military town in Xia Country.
Northern Qi's Ferocious Tiger Army continued to attack Four Rivers City. The tens of thousands of Ferocious Tiger Army soldiers did not stop day and night, attacking fiercely.
The one leading the army this time was Northern Qi's famous general, Shi Enguang. He led the 70,000-strong Tiger Army.
This time, Northern Qi had put in a lot of effort. Their North County had sent out all of their main forces. They had to take down the Four Waters Pass.
"Release the arrows, quick!"
"Rolling Wood Thunder Rock, smash it to death!"
Qin Qiong ordered.
In the Four Rivers Pass, there were 1,500 dragon cavalry and 2,000 city guards. Bao Zheng had also gathered 3,000 militia. It would be extremely difficult to fight against Northern Qi's main force with such a small force.
"General, let's scatter! Half of China's main force is in your hands!”
"That's right, General. If we don't destroy the Dragon Cavalry, you won't be able to bear the blame of the monarch!”
The few battle generals were already a little afraid and advised Qin Qiong to leave.
"Nonsense!" Bao Zheng rebuked angrily," The Four Waters Pass is surrounded by water on three sides. One man can hold the pass, and ten thousand men can't open it. Thousands of us can completely hold off the enemy for months. After we leave the Four Waters Pass, there will be no barrier in Xia Country. How can we defend the country?”
Bao Zheng was full of energy and impassioned.
The generals retreated.
"Fight until the last person, and then retreat, kill!”Qin Qiong shouted and led the dragon cavalry to put out the fire.
Bao Zheng had a high prestige among the people. He also called for 1,000 civilian workers to cook for the officers and soldiers, deliver water, and move stones. The momentum of the city increased greatly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows were fired from the city walls, and the Northern Qi army suffered countless casualties.
The arrows of the Dragon Cavalry were very accurate. Several Northern Qi generals were heavily injured and trampled to death by their own soldiers.
"Kill them!"
The Northern Qi army shouted wildly. They set up the pontoon bridge and carried the scaling ladder as they charged in front of Four Waters Pass.
Rolling wood and rolling stones fell together, and the soldiers in front were smashed until their heads were bleeding and they fell down.
"Kill! The Four Waters Pass is ours. Northern Qi will not abandon an inch of land!”The Northern Qi general shouted.
The soldiers of the Ferocious Tiger Legion rushed forward row after row as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
In the afternoon, the first Northern Qi soldier climbed the city wall.
"Kill them!" Qin Qiong stabbed that person with her spear. The Dragon Cavalry fired their arrows in unison, repelling the Northern Qi army's attack.
After three days of bloody battles, the guards on the city walls all had hideous expressions on their faces, as if they had just returned from hell. Some of the militia had been promoted to the brave warrior realm, and they could already fight like regular soldiers.
"Why isn't the king here yet? Has the letter been sent out?" Qin Qiong asked anxiously. Although he was brave, with just this small number of soldiers, more than half of the Dragon Cavalry Army had already died. If this continued, the Four Waters Pass might really not be able to hold on.
"We sent envoys three times, but there was no reply!”Bao Zheng shouted.
The envoys they had sent out had all been killed by Northern Qi, and the letter had fallen into Northern Qi's hands. Seeing these letters, a contemptuous smile appeared on Enguang's face. Even if the entire Xia army came, it would not be enough to defeat him.
"Order the army to surround the city from all sides. On the day the city falls, leave no one alive.”Shi Enguang ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The herald ran out.
Hearing that they could kill and rob, Northern Qi's fighting spirit grew. They all knew that the Four Waters Pass would be broken. After the pass was broken, they could rob women, rob property, and even rob treasuries.
The Northern Qi army was fierce.
Qin Qiong and Bao Zheng were loyal to Xia. Bao Zheng personally stood on the city wall and commanded the army to fight.
"Open the granary in the city, everyone can eat as much as you want. Open the treasury in the city and reward the soldiers and civilians!”Bao Zheng shouted.
The morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city soared. Wherever Bao Zheng was, the city would only fall when everyone died.
On the city walls, the Dragon Cavalry soldiers were fighting fires everywhere. Countless Northern Qi soldiers were dead or injured. These were the elites of Northern Qi. The small Tiger Legion of Northern Qi at the Four Waters Pass was unable to take them down.
That night, Qin Qiong led 300 Dragon Cavalry out of the city and attacked Northern Qi.
The Northern Qi army never dreamed that the Xia army would dare to come out. Qin Qiong and the others killed one of them when he was unprepared. They had killed all the way from the northern gate of the Northern Qi camp to the eastern gate. When they turned back, they had killed 1,300 people, but only six of their own had died.
The soldiers and civilians of the Four Waters Pass cheered and cheered.
Shi Enguang was almost angered to death. He had tens of thousands of troops under his command, but they were actually attacked. If the Beiqi King knew about this, he would be scolded to death.
That night, Shi Enguang mobilized the soldiers of the eighteen counties near and far. He had to eat the four waters.
The army had gathered, and the thirty thousand soldiers from the eighteen counties had become cannon fodder.
On the fourth day, Qin Tian received an urgent letter from the border. This letter was not written by Bao Zheng, but by the governor of Sanchuan County. He heard that there was a war in the direction of the four rivers, so he wrote this letter.
"Prepare the three armies and leave the city at once!" Qin Tian ordered.
Within the capital, Great Xia had about 2,000 Dragon Cavalry, 8,000 Tiger Troops, 3,000 grain transport troops, and 3,000 city guards.
Qin Tian personally led 2,000 dragon cavalry and rushed to Four Waters Pass, the Tiger Troop following closely behind.
The three thousand grain transport soldiers were also dispatched at night. The four rivers had been fighting for several days, and the city was definitely short of food. They could not let the people in the wall starve. They were all citizens of Great Xia.
The two thousand dragon cavalry flew towards the Four Waters Pass. Xia Country was about to face the fiercest battle.
