Lin Guowei's slightly old face had a hint of regret. He had originally considered whether the enemy would be a feint attack on Huayang, but in fact he wanted to take down Loushan Pass. From the various information obtained some time ago, he had already noticed the Maqi Khan's determination and made corresponding arrangements. However, he still did not expect that the Maqi Khan would have dispatched such an unprecedented army. He did not know that the Northern Ronesian War had broken out at the same time, but he knew that the number of enemy troops on the front battlefield alone would be less than 150,000, which was more than the total of the troops on the front line of Huayang-Loushan Pass-Yushan. In terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that even the most elite first legion can compete with the opponent's army. Local troops like the security division have never experienced a real bloody battle. Lin Guowei doubts whether they can survive in this battle.

It is too late to regret now. The information obtained by the scout showed that a large number of mobile light cavalry of the Maqi Khans had been found near Huayang Fucheng. The mottled horses were very dazzling. You can tell at a glance that they were specialties of the Maqi Khanate, and some wildebeest cavalry were also mixed in. This time, the Maqi Khans probably came out in full bloom.

Lin Guowei had already estimated the enemy's tactical strategy, and used cavalry to block reinforcements from Huayang and Yushan, and then concentrated his superior forces to attack Loushan Pass. Once Loushan Pass was lost, the link between Huayang, Yushan and Jiangchuan would be cut off. The mobilization of troops between the three places may be attacked by the enemy from Loushan Pass. This move is not unscathing. Fortunately, he has also arranged sufficient troops in Loushan Pass. The two elite divisions and a security division have nearly 70,000 people.

With the steepness and solidity of Loushan Pass, no matter how rampant the Maqikhan was, it was purely a fantasy to take down Loushan Pass in a short time. Although Huayang and Yushan could not send troops to reinforce Yushan, they could provide reinforcements to Loushan Pass without any influence on the front line of Jiangchuan. In this way, the gains and losses of Loushan Pass became the key to this battle. Thinking of this, Lin Guowei regretted not insisting on leaving the security division in Loushan Pass. At least in terms of defending the city, the security division could still play a lot of role.

However, Lin Guowei underestimated the determination and courage of the Maqikhan. Since he dared to pull out the nail of Loushan Pass, the Maqikhan had the awareness of not being afraid of casualties and sacrifices.

Loushan Pass is located in Huayang, Yushan and Jiangchuan Prefectures, and although it is called Loushan Pass, it turns out to be just a small fortress built on a slightly higher hill. For a long time after the Lin family entered Sanjiang, since the Yuejing Kingdom in the east was not the imaginary enemy of Sanjiang, the importance of Loushan Pass did not hit the Lin family. It was not until the Maqi Khan annexed Yuejing Kingdom that the troops pointed directly at Sanjiang, and the importance of Loushan Pass became increasingly prominent.

Now, the Lin family has also begun to expand the Loushanguan Fortress on a large scale. After several years of expansion and repair, Loushanguan has become a key place to connect the two prefectures in the eastern part of Sanjiang and the capital Jiangchuan. Especially after the Lin family’s defeat in Guanxi, its combat power has declined, and the requirements for city defense facilities have become higher and higher, and the investment in Loushanguan has also increased. Not only has it reinforced and raised the city walls, it also spent huge amounts of money to install powerful defensive weapons such as catapults and crossbows, which were originally installed on city walls of the city, the city.

However, with the full preparation of the Maqi Khans, the facilities at Loushan Pass seemed a bit miserable. Although the Maqi Khans had arrived at Loushan Pass a day ago, they did not launch any offensive. The dense camps stretched for more than ten miles, the flags covering the sky and the golden drums that thundered the ground, and the infantry teams with distinct armor and high-spirited armor kept conducting formation drills under the gate. The zebra cavalry and wildebeest cavalry who were running towards the gate were not provocatively showing off their military power not far away from the gate. All of this made the general of the Loushan Pass of the Sanjiang Army who climbed up to see the enemy's reality and reality.

However, the Maqikhans who had not launched an attack made the Sanjiang Army's chief nervous. Such a strange phenomenon can only prove that the enemy will have more vicious and ruthless means to put it behind. Once this offensive is launched, it is probably the ending of the death of the city and the death of the city. But the situation has developed to this point and there is no room for turning back. The only hope can only be placed on the reinforcements of the surrounding three prefectures.

When the whimpering horn sounded again, they attracted the generals of the Sanjiang Army to the city tower, they finally saw the true combat power level of this, known as the number one military power in the southern part of the Eastern Continent.

More than ten high-altitude nesting vehicles stand up in the air. Each nesting vehicle can ride in more than ten powerful crossbowmen. Several giant trees are supported from different angles under the combat room, which is very stable. The battle room is surrounded by thick cowhide and covered with fireproof paint, leaving only a few combat holes for shooting; the nine-bow crossbow is dragged by wildebeest and moved forward step by step. On the giant wooden frame, large iron-headed javelins on super-large crossbows made of hard wood, horny, hard glue, machine springs, winch and other mechanical accessories were sent by soldiers into the crossbow box trough, and then twisted one by one, waiting for the final launch. Once such crossbow guns with great impact are launched, they are enough to pierce the shield of any material, or even easily penetrate the bodies of several people.

Large catapults are not rare items, but hundreds of catapults are pushed onto the battlefield at the same time. Such a huge shock is enough to make any main general frightened. Next to the catapult are supply vehicles full of oil barrels. The stones are immersed in the oil barrels and are ignited before launching. They are placed in the pass through the catapult. I don’t know how long it will last for the Sanjiang army in the pass to support such a blow. The siege cars are also different from the common similarities. The wheels are wrapped in thick cowhide to facilitate propulsion and prevent damage, and the attack slope is smaller. This is more conducive to soldiers rushing to the city with inertia. There are even two active spare slides attached to the two wings of the siege cars, which can be moved with pulleys, making it easier for the siege cars to launch attacks from multiple angles more flexibly.

In addition to these large equipment, many siege equipment such as movable ladders, city bumper cars, mobile arrow towers, etc. were pushed to the front line without reservation. The Maqikhan soldiers standing between and behind them were eager to try. The officers of various departments were already wearing heavy armor and personally visited the front line. This aura alone was enough to suppress the Sanjiang soldiers huddled in Loushan Pass and couldn't breathe.

As the siege weapons continued to advance, the cavalry teams that were originally arranged in the front also began to scatter to both sides, giving up an attack route for the siege weapons, and the various infantry phalanxes also scattered, surrounded by giant sliding shields, followed by the moving ladder and siege cars, making final preparations for launching the first attack wave.

The dull "Woooo" horn sound finally blew, and kept moving forward slowly. The defense had already advanced to the city wall. Various equipment that had been attacking the weapon at the edge of the attack of the defenders suddenly accelerated. The soldiers shouted, pushing the city-killing cars, siege cars, moving ladders, and shields suddenly ran forward. The high-altitude nesting cars, moving arrow towers, stone casters, and bed crossbows were also accelerated to advance under the pulling of animal power or human power. Once they entered their respective attack areas, they launched a crazy attack that spread across the globe according to their respective attack procedures.

The stone catapults and crossbows on the city wall have already poured out the first wave of arrows and boulders under the city wall at the first time. The defense party with a high advantage can always take the lead in launching an attack at this point and attack the most threatening parts. The primary target of the attack is naturally the moving stone catapults and siege cars to the enemy. The former will cause great damage to the various arrangements on one of his city walls, while the latter is the main means for enemy infantry to launch attacks. As long as the enemy's attack ability can effectively weaken the enemy's attack ability, the battle will be invincible.

The huge rocks that came in the air kept falling around the moving catapult cart moving forward, and the crossbow arrows that were emptying and empty were also coming to this position like tides of locusts that were tide after tide. The soldiers responsible for protecting the catapult cart supported a huge air defense shield to prevent the huge rocks falling from the sky from smashing their protective objects. However, the huge rocks weighing hundreds or even hundreds of kilograms fell with the help of inertia, and the impact of them was amazing, which was beyond ordinary shields to resist. The soldiers in the front tried to open the protection barrier made of multiple layers of raw and mature cowhides like large umbrellas to protect the soldiers from attacking the crossbow arrows. Although there had been offensive and defensive drills before the war, the tragic situation in actual combat was beyond the reach of ordinary drills.

The huge rocks that fell on the shield were often scattered by the stones. The soldiers' mouths were broken, and their arms were broken, and they fell to the ground with a broken "crack" sound, a crisp sound, a whine and scream, a soldier's shouting, a "puchi" machine spring firing, forming a harmonious and real sonata on the moving stone caster position. No one knows whether a huge rock will fall from the sky and hit the top of their heads in the next moment. At this moment, they only know how to travel faithfully
