Tiecheng Ridge is located fifty miles south of Wusheng Pass. As the remnant of Yanshan, it cannot be called too high, but the terrain is extremely dangerous. There is a gap between the west from Tiecheng Ridge to Guezi Mountain, which is a gap of twenty or thirty miles wide, which is the only place to enter Wusheng Pass.

Tiechengling itself is also within the Wusheng Pass defense system. It originally had a solid city, but after the Xiyuan army retreated north, the western foot city of Tiechengling was destroyed. Not to mention the defensive magic circles were removed, the base of the city wall with countless talismans engraved in the city was also destroyed, leaving only the intermittent remnant city standing in the cold wind, and tens of thousands of hungry people were abandoned in the city and hungry for feeding.

The Longxiang Army rushed to the remnants of the western foot of Tiecheng Ridge before the Suwei Army. If the Suwei Army did not want to be exposed to the Longxiang Army's troops, it would have to annihilate the Longxiang Army or drive the Longxiang Army out of the western foot of Tiecheng Ridge to successfully reach their final destination of this trip, Wusheng Pass.

It was predicted that the third division of the Longxiang Army led by Chen Hai was newly formed by the Yao clan and the surrendered soldiers. It has not experienced the tempering of iron and blood, and its combat power is limited. Moreover, it has not yet established a foothold in Tiechengling. On the 19th day of the first lunar month of Guining, Zhao Zhong and Yu Haoran bravely led 150,000 elite troops to attack Tiechengling.

It's the coldest day now, and the black land is as hard as gold and stone.

Chen Hai stood above the remnant city, holding his arms and looking at the 150,000 troops of the Suwei Army, preparing to attack the remnant city of Tiechengling from the southeast and south. His thin face was like a reef, and he didn't care at all that the enemy rushed towards the remnant city like a huge wave.

In addition to the Four Demons and Cang Yi, Yao Wenjin, as the commander of the Third Town Division, was also standing beside Chen Hai at this time and explaining his next combat plan:

"Wen Boyuan, Zhao Zhong and others have been running the Feng Chu camp for many years, but in terms of military power, you look at the 100,000 elite Feng Chus attacking from the front, and the momentum is much weaker than the 50,000 elite Tiger Roars attacking from the flank. I plan to divide a group of troops, block Yu Haode's troops from the flank, concentrate my strength, and defeat Zhao Zhong's troops from the front as quickly as possible..."

"You will command this battle, but you will not win." Chen Hai said with a smile.

"Ah!" Yao Wenjin looked at Chen Hai in shock, not knowing that Chen Hai would make such a decision.

"You can see it yourself." Chen Hai directly penetrated a mysterious light into Yao Wenjin's sea of ​​consciousness. Yao Wenjin looked at the sea of ​​consciousness and saw that what was presented was an endless rocky beach. There was a bottomless crack that lasted dozens of miles long and unreal in the rocky beach. Flashes of blood mist surged out from the crack, and it seemed that he could still hear the screams of ghosts and wolves...

Yao Wenjin was stunned and asked Chen Hai in disbelief: "Has the blood cloud wasteland entered Yanzhou opened in the other side of Heishan?"

"It has not been completely opened yet. At least the Blood Demon cannot break into Yanzhou directly, but there is not much time left for us," Chen Hai took a deep breath and said, "So the goal of this battle should the Guards be able to successfully take over Wusheng Pass after winning?"

"Are you going to force the Suwei Army to the western part of Jiyang County?" Yao Wenjin asked.

Chen Hai nodded. Yucheng Ridge was a gap, but the remaining veins extending to Liangyong on the western wing of Jiyang County and the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, like Huang Miyuan and Chifeng Mountain further north, were not very steep. Elite troops needed to block the gap there.

Therefore, Chen Hai's main purpose in this battle was to attract a large number of guards to the northern part of Beijing and allow them to occupy Wusheng Pass, so as to facilitate the inability to force them to escape from Wusheng Pass in the future.

After the Longxiang Army dominated the entire family, the Xiyuan Army would not fight bloody battles with the Suwei Army, but would not let the Suwei Army go, especially Yu Zonghu had the opportunity to go to Lichuan. The biggest possibility was to transfer the Suwei Army to Huang Miyuan.

Yao Wenjin learned Chen Hai's intention and smiled bitterly: "It's not difficult to win, but if you want to lose without silence, you can't hurt yourself. This is difficult."

Chen Hai said with a gloomy face: "The Third Town Division is also woven in a hurry. Without the tempering of iron and blood, you should be a training game..."

Yao Wenjin nodded and focused on commanding the war.

The sound of sermon drums sounded one after another, and the ten thousand-person teams of Fengchu Camp in the south and three thousand-person teams of Huyao Camp in the east were out of the line and headed towards the remnant city of Tiechengling.

Over the years, even though not all troops in Yanzhou have experienced the refining of heavy-bore crossbows and Tianji combat chariots, the combination of heavy-bore crossbows and Tianji combat chariots has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, forcing soldiers to change their traditional tactics.

Even though Feng Chu Camp has not experienced any bloody war since its establishment, the battle formations of its ten thousand-person teams are more closely combined with the shield and Tianji war vehicles and advance in a relatively loose array.

Although such a formation is not conducive to the traditional armored soldiers' hedge, it can more effectively prevent the dense strafing of heavy-bore crossbows and more effectively allow the heavy-bore crossbows to exert greater power. In other words, under the dense strafing of heavy-bore crossbows, even with the defensive Taoist talisman, how long can the dense formation last without collapse?

Although the morale of Fengchu camp is weak, it can be seen that Wen Boyuan has used new tactics to practice them many times when he was alive.

In comparison, the Third Town Division was formed by a mixed combination of Yao clan soldiers and surrendered soldiers, and its adaptation to the new tactics was worse. Fortunately, they were taking a defensive position.

Chen Hai, Cang Yi and the Four Demons would not take action easily. At this time, the energy of heaven and earth had already become completely chaotic. Their action was limited. After all, even if Cang Yi recovered his true body, it would be difficult for him to resist the two hundred sword servants around Zhao Zhong to form a formation to take action. They just stood quietly on the city wall to watch the battle. Today's battlefield commander was also Yao Wenjin.

Yao Wenjin spent two days to repair the Tiechengling city wall, but the guards also equipped stone-cattered crossbows, Tianji combat chariots, heavy-bore crossbows and other combat equipment in batches. It is far from enough to defend the city wall. The city wall is only a position for heavy-bore crossbows and stone-cattered crossbows. Yao Wenjin dug trenches and rammed earth to build low guard walls on the outside of the East City and the South City to form a new multi-level defensive position to deal with the enemy's impact.

Due to the relatively narrow position, Yao Wenjin only deployed a total of 40,000 troops in the positions outside the city, and more troops were left as reserves, staying in the remnant city, preparing to take turns to fight.

Considering that the Hu Xiao Camp was an elite army who had fought with Yu Zonghu in the past few years, and ordinary generals had very rich combat experience, Yao Wenjin transferred two heavy crossbows from the south city to strengthen the attack on the Dongcheng of the Hu Xiao Camp.

The three thousand-person teams of Hu Xiao Camp, in addition to six light Tianji war vehicles, were densely arranged for more than 40 shield vehicles in front of the formation, forming a shield wall that could block the rain of gold quenching arrows, and firmly protect the comrades behind him.

The Guards' gold-tempered heavy-front arrow storage was limited. The heavy-bore crossbows installed at the top of the six light-weight Tianji war vehicles did not roar, but several counterweight stone-cattered crossbows were seen slowly following the Thousand-Person Team. They even kept shooting mud bullets to calibrate the direction during the process.

Yao Wenjin focused on strengthening the protection of the heavy-bore crossbow positions at this time, and putting the wooden raft made of multi-layer logs into the cannon of the heavy-bore crossbow positions before continuing to cover the grass and soil to reduce the impact of the stone bombs. Seeing the enemy calibrating the test firing of the stone-throwing crossbow, their target also wanted to destroy as many heavy-bore crossbows here as possible.

At this moment, the fierce fighting atmosphere was like swelling morning mist, spreading out of this remnant city of several miles. The generals and soldiers of the third town division of the Longxiang Army were mostly surrendered soldiers of Fengchu Camp. They faced their former comrades, and they were in a complicated mood. They held the cold spear and halberd tightly, allowing the biting cold to stabilize their inner anxiety and anxiety.

The heavy crossbow at the top of the city finally rang out, as if heavy rain was pouring in, and it poured hard towards the enemy formations on both sides at the same time. The first wave of gold-tempered heavy arrows were mostly shot on the shield chariots in the front of the enemy formation.

The giant shield erected by the shield car is also cast with metal quenching iron. Because the structure is relatively simple, the giant shield that can be pushed onto the battlefield with the frame, so it can be cast harder than the armor of the war chariot.

The one-inch-thick gold-tempering shield splashed out sparks under the shooting of the heavy gold-tempering arrow, but there was no sign of being torn apart in a short period of time.

The Mojiasi controlled by the inner court even carved the shields and armor seal on them when casting these gold-tempered shields, making the gold-tempered shields more solid. The defense of this gold-tempered shield is not easy to smash or break down compared to a one and a half foot thick finely forged cast iron plate.

Yu Haoran also confirmed that the third town division of the Longxiang Army did not carry the super-kilted crossbow that had appeared in the Liquan battlefield. He knew that only three thousand people would be impossible to tear the Longxiang Army's defense line in the East City. At this time, he decisively ordered the two thousand armored cavalry to leave from the left wing and enter the battlefield.

The two cunning armored cavalry first accelerated slowly after their forward array. When they advanced less than 500 steps away from the Dongcheng position, they quickly divided into two teams and rushed towards the Dongcheng position from the flank with an unstoppable momentum.

The agile Qing cunning cavalry raised hiss and hissed at the sky. As soon as he climbed his back hooves, the short guard walls and hawks made of temporary rammed earth could not stop these exquisite cavalry, allowing the two thousand armored cavalry to rush into the formation directly. The two sides fought each other in close combat and started a bloody battle.

At this time, we can see the strength of the Hu Xiao Camp. Yao Wenjin sent two teams of elite troops, mainly guards of the Yao clan, to retreat with two thousand armored cavalry, and stabilize the Dongcheng Formation City and not be trampled over by the enemy.

The enemy's six light battle formations scattered to both wings, and the guard wall gap trampled out from the armored cavalry and fired wildly, causing great casualties to the generals and soldiers on the Dongcheng position.

In comparison, the performance of the Fengchu camp of Zhao Zhong's troops on the southern battlefield was relatively average, far less flexible and powerful than that of Yu Haode's troops. They were suppressed by the Longxiang Army soldiers on the southern city position and did not perform well.

Of course, this situation was related to Yao Wenjin's initial plan to concentrate his efforts to defeat Zhao Zhong's troops first, so that Yao Wenjin deployed the only twelve light and heavy heavenly war vehicles in the third town division on the Nancheng position. When the war really started, he transferred two heavy heavenly war vehicles and six light war vehicles to the Dongcheng position, and barely suppressed the offensive of Yu Haoran's troops.
