Chapter 598 The Imperial Guards Join the War

"Imperial Guard! It's an Imperial Guard!"

When a soldier saw the soldiers coming from behind, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Soon, more and more soldiers screamed.

When Zhang Huai heard the movement, he turned around and saw the troops coming from the ranks. He was stunned at first, and then his face changed again.

That is indeed an imperial guard!

I saw that among this military flag, there were both the flying dragon totem symbolizing the Yulin Guard, the tiger totem symbolizing the Knight Guard, the leopard totem symbolizing the leopard cavalry guard, and the leopard totem symbolizing the leopard cavalry guard, etc.

The six guards of the imperial guards, except for the flying guards, are all here!

Sweat beads emerged from Zhang Huai's forehead.

He, the chief general who guards Longmen Pass, is now blocked outside the city of Longmen Pass. What kind of face does this give him the imperial guards?

However, people have come, and he can't even meet him if he doesn't want to see him.

It didn't take long, and the imperial army was approaching.

Zhang Huai took a deep breath, tampered his teeth, and urged his horse to run over.

The five generals led by the leader are Duan Ju, General Duan Ju of the Yulin Guard, General Huang Dan of the Cavalry Guard, General Pang Hong of the Leopard Cavalry Guard, General Lian Ze of the Xiongqu Guard, and General Guan Yuan of the Shooting Guard.

Seeing Zhang Huai, Duan Ju, Huang Dan, Pang Hong, Lian Ze, and Guan Yuan all intervened to salute, and said, "I will pay homage to Marquis Gaoyang!"

Zhang Huai sighed secretly, gritted his teeth, bowed back, and said, "All the generals have come from afar, thank you all the hard way!"

Guan Yuan did not speak politely and asked straightforwardly: "Master Gao Yang, where is the rebel Li Yu now?"

"Uh...he...he's at Longmen Pass!"

Guan Yuanming asked knowingly: "I don't know who is guarding Longmen Pass?"

These words made Zhang Huai ask blushed and embarrassed.

Although Zhang Huaigui is one of the marquises, he still has to be shorter in front of the general of the Imperial Guard.

After all, the General of the Imperial Guard is a close minister of the Emperor, and he is directly responsible to the Emperor.

What's more, Zhang Huai made such a big mistake now, and he couldn't even raise his head in front of the five generals.

Duan Ju glanced at Guan Yuan who deliberately mocked Zhang Huai and asked Zhang Huai: "How did Marquis Gaoyang lose Longmen Pass?"

Logically speaking, Li Yu has only a few thousand flying guards under his command, so it is unlikely that he will forcibly capture Longmen Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Zhang Huai sighed, shook his head and said, "It was me who fell into Li Yu's trick!"

As he spoke, he told everyone about how he fell into the trap and how Li Yu got into the city.

After hearing his words, the five generals were in different moods.

Guan Yuan cursed in his heart: Stupid donkey!

Duan Ju, Huang Dan, and Lian Ze laughed in their hearts. It has to be said that His Highness, King of Wu, really grasped Zhang Huai's weakness, took advantage of his great-loving character, seduced him out of the city, and then took off the firewood from the cauldron and captured Longmen Pass in one fell swoop.

Lian Ze said with slightest voice: "Longmen Pass is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now, since Longmen Pass has been occupied by the King of Wu, we will return to the capital to report to Your Majesty, please decide!"

Guan Yuan glanced at him meaningfully, asked with a sneer, "Does General Lian want to retreat without fighting?

Don’t forget that General Lian is still guilty!”

If it weren't for your Lian Ze's order, could Li Yu run away?

Even if Liang Ping, Duke of Xunguo, forced you to open the city gate at that time, you, Lian Ze, could not escape the blame.

Duan Ju said in a deep voice: "Okay! Don't quarrel between us!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Huai and asked, "Can Marquis Gaoyang break through Longmen Pass and regain the city?"

Zhang Huai said anxiously without thinking: "I will attack the city overnight tonight. No matter what, I will break through Longmen Pass and capture the rebels!"

Guan Yuan said with a gloomy face: "The last general will help Gao Yanghou with his arm!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huai was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "The relevant general will help you twice the result with half the effort!"

Guan Yuan smiled.

You have achieved twice the result with half the effort, but this is the first achievement of capturing the thief, and I will also score half of the points!

With the arrival of the imperial guards, the morale of Zhang Huai's troops was suddenly improved.

People regrouped and then took a big attack.

But this time, the imperial guards also participated in the war.

Especially the participation of the sound guards led by Guan Yuan in the battle has really greatly improved the strength of the offensive side.

There are 5,000 shooting guards in total, and they are all outstanding shooting guards.

Even the bow used to shoot sound guards is different from ordinary archers, but uses the two stone bow.

One stone is 120 kilograms, and the pulling force of two stone bows requires 240 kilograms.

It is rare for people to have such strong pulling force.

With the help of the sound guards of the sound guard, can the soldiers of Zhang Huai's troops become more confident?

Soon, the sound of the drums marching sounded again.

The soldiers of Zhang Huai's troops lined up a neat square array and pushed towards Longmen Pass again.

Li Yu, standing in the city gate tower, had already seen the arrival of the imperial guards.

He looked solemn, turned his head and said, "Golden Crow!"

"I'm here!"

"You immediately bring a group of flying guards to the city, remove all the door panels of the houses, move them to the top of the city, and distribute them! Go quickly!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Jinwu agreed and ran out of the city gate tower quickly.

The square formation of Zhang Huai's troops was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers in front had already entered within a hundred steps of Longmen Pass, which was already within the range of Longmen Pass.

However, before the defenders on the city could shoot arrows outwards, a row of arrows flew over from Zhang Huai's square formation.

You should know that when the two sides are a hundred steps apart, it is quite easy to shoot from the top of the city, and ordinary archers can do it.

But if you shoot from the bottom of the city to the top of the city, it will be too difficult. Those who can do this must be astonishingly strong arm strength.

The arrows flying out of Zhang Huai's camp flew to the sky, drawing a long parabola in the air, roaring and hitting the city.

"Do not to the arrow formation--"

Guan Ying realized that it was not good and shouted loudly at the soldiers around him.

But it's still late.

As the arrows fell down, many defenders were not prepared enough and were shot by arrows. From time to time, some people in the defenders fell to the ground by arrows.

Guan Ying gritted her teeth and shouted: "Shoot the arrow—"

Soon, a dark cloud flew out from the top of the city, crossing the sky, and roaring towards Zhang Huai's square formation.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The square formation of Zhang Huai's troops had already formed a shield formation. The arrow formation hit the shield formation, jingling, and soldiers from time to time screamed and fell to the ground.

Before the two sides had contacted each other, the archery battle had begun.

The sound guard hid among the soldiers of Zhang Huai's troops, followed the large army forward, twisting their bows and arrows, and constantly shooting arrows on the top of the city.

The participation of these sound guards in the battle caused great damage and threats to the defenders on the city. Many soldiers hid behind the arrowheads and did not dare to show their heads.

Soon, Zhang Huai's square formation advanced near the city wall.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amid a series of muffled sounds, the soldiers spread out ladders and laid them on the top of the city.

Immediately afterwards, countless soldiers began to climb up the city along the ladder.

At the same time, the sound guards stood twenty steps away from the city wall and kept firing arrows on the city to suppress the defenders and assist the soldiers of Zhang Huai's troops to attack Longmen Pass.
