Outside Yanmen Pass, tens of thousands of Northern Desert soldiers were pushing carts full of bulging cloth bags. Outsiders would think that there was food inside, but in fact, from the expressions of these Northern Desert soldiers, it was not related to food at all.
A blood-red warhorse galloped from the south to the north. The young man on the horse shouted,"Military Advisor, Yanmen Pass is three miles ahead. Should we set up camp?”
Wei Zheng smiled and said,"No need. Just give the order to the soldiers to attack!"”
Chen Da on the right cupped his hands and said," Military Advisor, we have traveled a long way. The Sui soldiers are waiting for fatigue. We should set up camp first and rest for a night before making plans."”
Wei Zheng shook his head and said," Now is the time for us to take action. Firstly, it's close to dawn. Even if the enemy discovers us, they won't think that we will rush over and attack the city without stopping. Secondly, I have brought these 1,000 siege weapons. If we attack the city now, we will definitely have a surprise effect.”
Whoosh! Xiong Kuohai, who was standing at the side, felt like vomiting blood. It was a siege weapon. Others might not know what was inside the sandbags, but how could Xiong Kuohai not know? It was Xiong Kuohai who had dug up the soil to fill the tens of thousands of sandbags.
However, Xiong Kuohai also understood that Wei Zheng was not an impulsive person. Since he said that there was no problem with the attack, there would naturally be no problem.
Xiong Kuohai turned his horse around and ordered,"" All personnel, listen up! Break through Yanmen Pass in six hours!"
This was a joke to everyone. There were 100,000 Sui cavalry in Yanmen Pass, while there were only 60,000 infantry in the Northern Desert. How could they break through Yanmen Pass in six hours?
The sun rose into the sky step by step, and Wei Zheng also successfully opened the road to Yanmen Pass. Of course, he did not open the gate of Yanmen Pass. Instead, he used tens of thousands of bags of soil to build a small slope between the city and the city.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Northern Desert marched up to the Yanmen Pass as if they were walking on flat ground. The Sui army of 100,000 cavalrymen didn't even have a chance to resist. More than 90% of them were captured.
General Military Headquarters!
Xue Wanjun held his teacup and leisurely drank his tea. Although the battle outside was in full swing, Xue Wanjun did not even have the thought of resisting. This was because in Xue Wanjun's heart, Liu Yu was still considered one of his own, while Wei Wentong was an outsider. How could he help outsiders fight their own people?
Two hours later, Wei Zheng walked in with Xiong Kuohai." Long time no see, Brother Xue!”
"I didn't expect Mr. Wei to come so quickly. I wonder what Mr. Wei is going to do next?" Xue Wanjun nodded with a smile.”
Wei Zheng said," One is to exterminate Wei Wentong and his men. The other is to merge the ten thousand miles of land in the Northern Desert and prepare our troops. When we succeed, I will definitely ask my king to lead the army to attack the south."”
Xue Wanjun shook his head and said," Although the Northern Desert is vast, the population is too small. Even if you wait ten years, you can at most form a troop of 200,000 to 300,000 people. The Great Sui Dynasty, on the other hand, probably already has millions of soldiers.”
Wei Zheng sighed helplessly." There's nothing we can do about it. My Great Lord is no match for the Marquis."
Xue Wanjun shook his head and smiled." Maybe it's time to say what I'm thinking. Although the Northern Desert has fewer people, Mr. Wei can increase the number of people there."”
Haha! " Hmph!" Xiong Kuohai snorted coldly." Brother, you make it sound so easy. How can you increase the number of people? How can you do this without a hundred or eighty years?!"”
Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said," I understand Brother Xue's thoughts. I must discuss this matter with my King."”
"This matter should be done as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Brother Xue ~~~"
Outside Da Li City!
In the Sui army's camp, a scout from the Sui army barged into the camp and said,""This is bad, Marshal. The Yanmen Pass has fallen, and the 100,000 soldiers have been captured alive.”
" What?" Wei Wentong looked at the person in disbelief.
"Marshal, what I said is true.”
Zuo Tianqi said," Marshal, the Northern Desert Army has at most 100,000 soldiers. There are 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers in Dali City, and a portion of them are guarding Mayi and Dingxiang. How can the rest of them take down Yanmen Pass?"”
Wei Wentong wasn't a fool, and his IQ wasn't too low. When he first heard it, he was a little shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, Wei Wentong understood the reason.
Wei Wentong shook his head and smiled," Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanjun. This person is thinking for Luo Yi. He must have lured the Northern Desert Army into Yanmen Pass on purpose."”
Zuo Tianqi said," Marshal, with the loss of Yanmen Pass, our army of a hundred thousand has really lost their rations. Are we going to starve to death in this desert?"”
Wei Wentong endured the pain in his body and stood up."While the Northern Desert Army has yet to gain a foothold in Yanmen Pass, we will return to Yanmen Pass and take it back.”
Zuo Tianqi's eyes flashed with tears," Marshal, I'm truly unwilling. Da Li City was about to fall under our cavalry, but I didn't expect to retreat at this time.”
Wei Wentong patted Zuo Tianqi's shoulder and sighed,""Take it easy, brother. Da Li City will always be here. One day, we will return.”
Late that night, more than 100,000 Sui soldiers retreated to Yanmen Pass. Liu Yu saw this scene, but he did not laugh. Wei Wentong alone almost killed him. If those people from the Sui and Tang Dynasties appeared in the TV series, would he still have a way out?
"Your Majesty, the Sui army has retreated. According to the intelligence within the Sui army, it was the Military Advisor who broke through Yanmen Pass."”
Liu Yu nodded and said," Even if you don't say it, I understand. It's just that this time, Military Advisor will be in danger. No, I have to go to Yanmen Pass to save Military Advisor."
"No!" Hou Junji and Xie Yingdeng anxiously said,"Your Majesty, the soldiers have just gone through a fierce battle. If the army were to rush to Yanmen Pass at this time, I'm afraid the soldiers will feel tired of fighting.”
Pa---
Shan Xiong Xin suddenly slammed the table and stood up." That's not right. We were brothers the moment we left Jizhou. It hasn't even been two years. Have we forgotten our brotherhood?"”
"Those in Yanmen Pass are all our brothers, we can't not save them."”
Liu Yu stood up and said,"All five thousand cavalry will follow me to Yanmen Pass."”
"I accept your orders ~~~"
Just as the Northern Desert was in turmoil, something big happened in the Great Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian died and the new Emperor ascended the throne. Wu Jianzhang was ordered to be executed by the new Emperor Yang Guang because he cursed the palace.
Nanyang Pass!
Wu Yunzhao looked at the letter his mother had sent him and wept bitterly. However, crying could not solve any substantial problems. The Sui army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers still arrived at the city gates.
"Lord Marquis, is there another place we can ask for help?”the old butler beside Wu Yunzhao said anxiously.
"Tell me. I really can't think of anyone else who's willing to help us.”
"Northern Desert Liu Yu!"
"Who is it?" Wu Yunzhao asked in disbelief.
"Liu Yu, the self-proclaimed Northern Desert King.”
