The leisurely atmosphere in front of Ao Long Pass did not last long.
On the 21st of January, the third day after the Barbarian Mountain Division arrived at Ao Long Pass, the war entered the fast lane. With the help of limited siege equipment, the Barbarian Mountain Division launched the first wave of attack on Ao Long Pass.
The powerful Barbarian Mountain Division, even with simple siege equipment, could form a fierce and fierce attack, beating the garrison of Ao Long Pass into a sorry state.
After a big battle, the casualties of both sides were actually about the same, it was truly terrifying.
At the same time, rumbling sounds came from the sky above Ao Long Pass. On this day, the aerial squadron finally arrived at the frontline and assisted the Imperial Guards in attacking Ao Long Pass.
The first time the aerial squadron appeared at Gui Ping Pass, it attracted the attention of the Lord of the Wilderness. How to defend against the incendiary bombs dropped by the aerial squadron had already become an urgent task for the cities and fortresses in the wilderness.
The most long-term plan was naturally to use stone or bricks instead of wood. The incendiary bombs developed by Shanhai City could not compare to the incendiary bombs in the real world. Without combustibles, the effect would be greatly reduced.
For a city, it was not realistic to use all stone.
But for a fortress, it was still relatively easy to build a building without wood.
However, Ao Long Pass had not adopted such a measure. After the outbreak of war, Feng Qingyue urgently ordered the garrison to clean up as much as possible the combustibles in the fortress.
All wooden buildings were to be torn down.
The large flames rising from Ao Long Pass proved that the fortress did not completely carry out Feng Qingyue's orders. Asking them to tear down the buildings was really too much.
Starting from nine in the morning, the aerial squadron used Yong Ren City as a temporary supply base and launched a continuous bombardment of Ao Long Pass. Coupled with the Barbarian Mountain Division's attack, Ao Long Pass immediately fell into a dangerous situation.
Inside the fortress, besides the buildings, there were also temporary military tents. In order to prevent the fire from spreading, more than half of the garrison's energy was put into extinguishing the fire.
As a result, the garrison became more and more powerless against the fierce attacks of the Barbarian Mountain Division. In just one morning, there were three dangerous situations on the city wall, almost being broken through by the Barbarian Mountain Division.
This startled the garrison into a cold sweat. They no longer dared to slack off, desperately defending while requesting reinforcements from Black Iron City.
Because of this, the thirty thousand reinforcements that had just arrived at Black Iron City did not dare to stop and directly rushed towards Ao Long Pass. Once Awolong Pass fell, Swordsman City's Second Corp would not have the confidence to defend Black Iron City.
Just as the Swordsman City's army was gathering at Awolong Pass, Shi Hu was leading the ambush army upstream.
With the help of the aerial team, Huo Qubing's overall plan was successfully implemented. The Second Legion of Swordsman City was lured to Aolong Pass.
If nothing unexpected happened, the fall of Black Iron City was only a matter of time.
Jiangyang County, Swordsman City.
The battle at Aolong Pass was in full swing, but the Swordsman City did not give any instructions. It was all up to the frontline generals to decide. This was not because the Feng Clan was slow or arrogant, it was because there was a big change in the clan.
That night, Feng Xiaotian and two elders from the clan conducted a checkup on Feng Qingyang. He wouldn't have known if he hadn't checked, but the moment he did, he was shocked. Feng Qingyang was already on the verge of turning into a demon, and it would be too late to save him now.
Feng Qingyang was the hope of the Feng Family's rise in the game. Now, the Feng Family was in chaos. Even the Great Elder, who had been cultivating in seclusion, was alarmed.
The four elders worked together to treat Feng Qingyang for two days and two nights before they managed to slightly control the violent True Qi in his body. However, Feng Qingyang still had to slowly recuperate himself in order to completely remove the demonic Qi. Feng Xiaotian did not dare to be negligent. He immediately arranged for Feng Qingyang to go into seclusion and no longer manage the territory's affairs.
During this period, the entire Swordsman City was in a state of idleness.
Now that Feng Qingyang was in seclusion, someone had to manage the huge territory.
Feng Xiaotian had no choice but to leave the mountain and personally take charge. As the Patriarch, Feng Xiaotian was not good at managing the territory. Otherwise, he would not have thrown all the territory's affairs to Feng Qingyang and Feng Qingyue.
As soon as he took office, there was an overwhelming amount of government affairs, which made Feng Xiaotian dizzy. He could not even calm down during his daily cultivation and almost went berserk.
In just three days, Feng Xiaotian had lost a lot of weight.
At this time, Feng Xiaotian had to admit that he was not as good as his son, Feng Qingyang, in terms of territory management. Dragons give birth to dragons, and mice give birth to phoenixes. The father and son were of the same lineage.
With this delay, the battle at the Aolong Pass had entered a critical period.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth and decided to let Feng Qingyue take over the territory as the temporary overlord.
As an ancient martial arts family, the Feng Clan was inevitably biased towards sons and daughters. The clan rules were rigid and conservative. Although Feng Qingyue's talent in managing the territory was far better than his brother, he could only participate in the territory's affairs as an advisor and had no authority to make decisions.
Feng Qingyang went into seclusion, so Feng Xiaotian subconsciously took over the territory's management authority. He had never thought of handing the territory over to Feng Qingyue.
It was only when Feng Xiaotian realized that he could not handle the territory's affairs that he came to a realization and used this rare opportunity to let Feng Qingyue take over. Even so, the clan elders still objected.
One had to admit that Feng Xiaotian's decision was very wise. It prevented the Swordsman City from being destroyed.
When the storm in the Feng Clan gradually subsided, it was already the 24th day of the first month.
Feng Qingyue took over the territory's authority and had mixed feelings. When she understood the situation at the frontline and was about to summon the Shanhai City's diplomatic group to propose a peace negotiation, the frontline had already undergone a shocking change.
Feng Qingyue was speechless for a long time. Her face turned pale. "I'm still too late!"
Let's go back to two days ago.
On the evening of the 22nd, the surging Golden Sand River surged ceaselessly. The river water was mixed with a large amount of sand and sand. Under the sunset, it appeared to be a mesmerizing golden yellow. This was the origin of the name Golden Sand River.
On the river surface, more than a thousand small boats sailed forward. It was a spectacular sight.
Shi Hu led five thousand mountain barbarian elites upstream and finally arrived near the Black Iron City.
Black Iron City was built on the southern bank of the Golden Sand River and the river flowed around the city. The five thousand mountain barbarians quietly disembarked when they were twenty miles away from Black Iron City. Thousands of small boats floated down the river and soon disappeared into the sunset.
"Rest for half an hour. Be careful to conceal yourselves!" Shi Hu ordered.
The mountain barbarians were a group of landlubbers. It was the first time for some of the warriors to ride on a boat. Moreover, it was such a small boat. Being tossed up and down on the vast river and rocking left and right was not a pleasant experience.
If not for the mountain barbarians' strong physiques, their legs would have turned to jelly by now.
Just as the army was resting, an inconspicuous hummingbird accurately found Shi Hu and perched on his shoulder with an intimate expression. The hummingbird was originally introduced by the Mystic Bird Tribe where Shi Hu was. The two of them had a natural resonance.
Otherwise, the hummingbird would not have been able to accurately find Shi Hu.
The information transmitted by the hummingbird shocked Shi Hu. The Shanhai Guards' spies in Black Iron City had confirmed that the east city gate would be opened at eight o 'clock that night.
The city gate would be opened in fifteen minutes at most. The army, please seize the opportunity.
"Ten minutes? That's enough. "
Shi Hu looked at the sky and ordered the army to set off. They quietly advanced toward Black Iron City.
… …
At a quarter past seven, the army had already concealed themselves in the forest four to five miles away from the city. Through the gaps in the forest, they could clearly see that the city gate in the distance had already been closed.
The miners outside the city had also finished their work long ago. They were either living in the mines or had already entered the city. Judging from the sparse patrols on the city wall, Black Iron City's defenses were not very tight.
Shi Hu was even more confident when he saw this.
At seven fifty, a torch appeared on top of the city wall and swayed back and forth three times.
When Shi Hu saw this, he was shocked.
This was the secret signal that the spies in the city had agreed on with him. It indicated that everything was normal and that everything was going according to plan.
"Pass down the order. Prepare to move!" Shi Hu quietly ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
In an instant, the mountain barbarians who had been leaning against the trees and resting quickly got up. They used the shortest amount of time to do a final check on their weapons and equipment.
In less than five minutes, they were all lined up.
The mountain barbarians, who were originally known for their loose discipline, had long since transformed into an iron-blooded army with strict military discipline under the tempering of Shanhai City's military system.
The next few minutes were so tense that it was suffocating.
At this time, even a small mistake could lead to the loss of the entire game. Shi Hu stared at the city gate. He did not even blink for a few minutes.
At seven fifty-six.
With a creak, the drawbridge was slowly lowered.
"Charge!"
Shi Hu did not dare to delay and gave the order to charge.
Five thousand mountain barbarians silently rushed out of the forest in the dark as if they were walking on flat ground. They charged toward the city gate in battle formation. In the process, the city gate had already slowly opened.
As a result, the mountain barbarians charged even more fiercely.
Almost at the same time, Shi Hu activated his awakened general specialty, causing the speed of the troops to increase by another level. In less than fifteen minutes, the army had already arrived at the city gate.
Inside the open city gate, it was pitch black.
"Charge in!"
Shi Hu was full of courage. Without thinking about anything else, he carried the Heaven Splitting Axe that the ruler had given him and was the first to charge into the city.
The guards at the city gate were finally alarmed. They walked out in a daze and were met with an axe. Their heads fell to the ground.
The massacre was carried out in the dark.
After taking care of the guards at the city gate in two or three moves, Shi Hu did not dare to delay. He led his troops directly into the city lord's residence. Only by destroying the stone tablet of the city lord's residence's subsidiary territory could they be considered to have succeeded.
Black Iron City was not a commercial city. At eight o 'clock at night, it was already quite cold outside. There were no signs of human habitation on the streets. The charge of the mountain barbarian soldiers completely broke the silence of the night.
The Black Iron City guards who had received the news were still gathering in the camp when the mountain barbarian soldiers had already charged into the city lord's residence. Whether it was the bailiffs, the guards, or even the servants and guards, in front of the mountain barbarians, they were no different from ordinary people. They were all killed in one blow.
With a swish, the axe fell. The Black Iron City guards died under Shi Hu's Heaven Splitting Axe. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
