The Shenwu soldiers and horses are all elite.

Their horses are the top war horses that eat the Royal Horse Food.

The war horses travel thousands of miles a day and rest the next day. After raiding thousands of miles apart, reinforcements arrived at Lumen Pass on the 13th day of the eighth month of the Jisheng calendar.

The armor of 20,000 cavalry reflected a shining cold light in the sun, but it was hard to hide the dust and fatigue on their bodies.

...

"It's reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements are here!"

"Lumenguan is saved!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Xiaodie, if I can go back alive, next year will be your and my wedding night!"

Some people cried and thought about the bridal chamber.

"When the spring is coming, the flowers will bloom, it will be the time for me, Song Batian, to return home in glory!"

Some people are very simple and just want to go home.

...

Seeing 20,000 elite Shenwu Army coming to help from Qingdu, the officers and soldiers guarding the city at Lumen Pass were so excited that they could not interfere with each other. Men hugged each other, crying bitterly together.

A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place.

After verifying the identity of reinforcements, the young city lord of Lumen Pass, Ling Yunzhi, trembled his hands and knelt down with force in front of General Shenwu.

"The guard of Lumen Pass, Ling Yunzhi, see General Shenwu!"

They naturally need to fully verify the identity of reinforcements.

If someone pretends to be the Shenwu Army and he foolishly opens the back door and lets the enemy enter the city, then his Lingyunzhi will really become a sinner forever. Even if he commits suicide and apologizes, he will have no face to see his father under the Jiuquan.

Twenty thousand people hurried into the city.

The city gates were closed again.

Behind Lumen Pass, there is a natural trench in the canyon, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But in front of Lumen Pass, there is indeed a plain area, both offense and defense.

If the situation is evenly matched, the plains are suitable for raids. Once the city gate is opened, the cavalry will attack and go with one blow, which will facilitate guerrilla warfare.

But at a disadvantage, the geographical location of Lumenguan seems a bit awkward.

...

The news that General Shenwu arrived at Lumen Pass with 20,000 elite troops spread throughout Lumen Pass almost within one hour.

Lord Ling had always suspected that there were eyeliners placed by the other party in the city, so he kept closing the city gates and set up a bow and arrow defense network in the air to prevent any news from being revealed to the enemy.

The army stationed in the East King set up camp hundreds of miles outside Lumen Pass to defend and build a defensive line.

The two sides have been confronting each other for more than a few months, and they are familiar with each other.

City Lord Ling originally wanted to set up a temporary camp in the city first, settle down a total of 20,000 soldiers and let them take a break.

But the white-haired general Shenwu snorted coldly: "The enemy is facing, how can there be a rest! Quickly summon all the generals to discuss the important matter of annihilation of the enemy!"

Xia Xiaoman, disguised as a man, was temporarily appointed as the deputy general of General Shenwu. She also nodded with a calm face: "The news of us arriving at Lumen Pass has not yet been heard. We can take this opportunity to counterattack the opponent and catch him off guard!"

"Hahaha!" General Shenwu, who had originally had a tense face to scold Ling Yunzhi, couldn't help laughing when he heard Xia Xiaoman's playful words: "Well said it!! Counterattack the opponent... a wave!"

Ling Yunzhi didn't notice the deputy general beside General Shenwu.

Look at the tender skin, it seems that I have never been on the battlefield.

But when the deputy general took off his battle helmet and spoke out loud, Ling Yunzhi suddenly felt that the white-faced young general looked familiar.

Ling Yunzhi had met Xia Xiaoman... When she was a child.

Back then, Xia Xiaoman called her brother-in-law in a silly voice, chasing Ling Yunzhi's butt and said, "Why did my second sister's good golden cabbage be robbed by a pig?"

After four years, Xia Xiaoman grew up a lot, and with her armor tied up her hair bun, the male and female were unable to argue, which made Ling Yunzhi not think about the eldest princess at all.

Furthermore, news of Xia Xiaoman's death spread throughout the circle, and Ling Yunzhi had long thought that Xia Xiaoman was dead.

...

...

The temporary combat tent was temporarily built under the city wall.

Ling Yunzhi did not dare to delay and went on the battle himself, spending just a stick of incense.

Xia Xiaoman, General Shenwu, several side generals, and Ling Yunzhi's confidant secretly held a combat meeting in the combat tent.

At the meeting.

Ling Yunzhi pointed to more than ten red circles on the map: "We have already discovered all the enemy stations. It is estimated that the troops stationed in the East King now lands outside Lumen Pass are about 80,000. Over the past few months, our army has resisted tenaciously and fought several large-scale battles with the East King Army on the plains, each with each other's consumption."

The others didn't say anything, Ling Yunzhi quickly brought out the current situation of Lumen Pass: "Originally, Lumen Pass could not last for so long, but last month, the last general realized that the enemy was sending troops to the southeast, and the last general found that something was wrong, and immediately sent a scout to inquire about the news and found it in this place..."

Lingyun Zhi tapped a few times in the southeastern area where rivers and plains meet: "The army of Zhennan and the army of the stationed king are fighting here. The army of the stationed king seemed to feel that the Lumen Pass was sure to win the battle, so he distributed some of the troops to attack the Zhennan King."

"The last siege was three days ago. The army stationed in the East King transported thousands of ladders from the supply line behind him, trying to force the city to climb, but in the end I dealt with it with tinder oil, and I took it for the time being."

Ling Yunzhi pointed to the Red Army camp again, with an unobstructed dotted line behind it, showing a shame: "The General of the Mok believes that the supply line of the Eastern King Army should be here, but the scout of the General of the Mok is unable to approach it."

Aside.

Xia Xiaoman, who had been silent all the time, suddenly fell behind in Ling Yunzhi's tone and frowned and asked, "Why can't you get close?"

"Inside the enemy, there seemed to be a mysterious monk to help. At the critical position of the supply line, the opponent set up a mechanism. The scout of the last general was discovered after getting closer. So far, there are twenty-three scouts that have been lost in the deep part of the enemy."

I see.

The new reinforcements, including General Shenwu, Xia Xiaoman, and General Shenwu's confidant generals, all had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Lumen Pass.

The battle report sent to Qingdu is vague, and it is far less clear than being at the scene in person.

Ling Yunzhi was able to defend Lumen Pass for several months, and it was a great achievement and no mistake.

The King of the East is different from the King of Pingxi. The eastern area he occupied was surrounded by the sea and was rich and fertile. Over the years, he had accumulated unimaginable financial resources. Once a war broke out, he would fight for money and people. Now the King of the East is dragged to attack Lumen Pass, which may be just the tip of the iceberg of the troops he possessed.

After several months of consumption before Lumen Pass, the 80,000 elite troops stationed in the east spent half of them, leaving about 60,000 people. This is also an extremely terrifying number.

"How many elite soldiers can fight in Lumen Pass, how many are left?"

General Shenwu did not ask this question before, because since he entered Lumen Pass, he saw countless wounded soldiers. Some tents could not even accommodate them. The wounded soldiers at Lumen Pass could only wrap blood-stained gauze and cultivate outside the tent.

From this we can see that if the Shenwu Army does not come again, it will only be a matter of time before this key Lumen Pass is captured by the King of the East.

When General Shenwu issued a soul questioning

Ling Yunzhi lowered his head, his face darkened, and hesitated and said a number: "Five, Five, Five..."

"Fifty thousand?" General Shenwu was stunned and intuition did not believe it.

This is impossible.

Can the 20,000 strong men with the murderous aura of the Shenwu Army, who were full of evil fire, could they directly rub the opposite side out of their bodies, and they still had to hide in the city and wait for support in despair?

Ling Yunzhi shook his head helplessly.

Xia Xiaoman: "Five thousand?"

The ten-fold gap in force is very desperate.

Ling Yunzhi took a deep breath and raised his head again: "Five hundred! The injured people in Lumen Pass were physically and mentally exhausted, and the dead were already cold, but only five hundred were left to fight normally!"
