Although the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect brought some food, there were more than one hundred thousand soldiers in the entire camp. One steamed bun had to be broken into four portions, and then chewed and swallowed with thin rice soup, which could keep them from feeling hungry for half a day.

But the enemy often invaded, and the consumption of energy on the battlefield was great, and after a battle, the stomachs were empty.

Now, not only is there no food, there is not enough medicine to treat injuries.

Many soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died in their tents due to lack of medical care and medicine.

The imperial court knew nothing about these things!

Thinking of this, the man called Da Yang angrily threw down the big spoon in his hand, squatted aside, covered his face and started crying.

His only younger brother died of a high fever because there was not enough medicine and his wounds were not treated in time.

Seeing how sad he was, his companions squatted down to comfort him, "You can't let anyone see you like this. Which of the soldiers guarding Chiling Pass is not a miserable person? If you shake the morale of the army, you will be beaten! Haven't you heard that the leader of the Yan clan has sent a pigeon back to the capital? The imperial court's reinforcements and life-saving food must be on the way! By then, after we drive away the Yi Kingdom and Beiqi, we can go home to see our parents!"

Hearing this, Da Yang wiped away a tear, stood up again, picked up the spoon again, and stirred the few grains of rice in the pot that were almost negligible...

Gu Qingsu's strategy of luring someone into a trap has to be said to be feasible.

After surveying the terrain, Xulin brought several Xiaoyao Sect disciples who were skilled in the art of making mechanical devices. They worked day and night to make the mechanisms and arranged them at the corresponding positions as required.

After all the deployments were successfully implemented, Gu Qingsu ordered his men to deliberately leave a flaw in the gap on the west side to lure the enemy into the trap.

That night, the soldier on guard discovered a large group of people quietly approaching here.

Gu Qingsu ordered his troops to set up an ambush and keep their positions still, waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap before closing the door and attacking.

There are no traps or mechanisms near the gap. Their purpose is to lure in more enemy troops and cause as many casualties as possible to the enemy.

The Yi army had a total of 5,000 people, led by a deputy general named Tuo Luo. He challenged Gu Qingsu on the battlefield many times, and his words were unbearable to hear. Gu Qingsu had long wanted to deal with him, but he was a guy who was only good at talking and was only responsible for challenging before the battle. When it came to the real fighting, he hid behind the scenes like a coward!

But he is a person who likes to show off.

In fact, this move of his was aimed at attracting people like Tuo Luo.

The commander of the Yi army is not a fool, he will not necessarily be fooled.

However, Tuo Luo has a high opinion of himself and is not on good terms with the commander-in-chief. In addition, due to his special status, he often challenges the commander-in-chief.

This time, he probably wanted to make a great contribution so that he could stand up straight in front of his commander.

But fear of death was his nature, so he ordered the soldiers to walk in front and he walked among the 5,000 people, thinking that even if there was an ambush, he would not be easily caught while hiding in the middle.

But his every move was under Gu Qingsu's watch.

When the more than 2,000 people in front had completely entered the mechanism array and Tuo Luo was at the first mechanism checkpoint, he raised his hand, took another step, and waved it down.

Xulin, along with several Xiaoyao Sect disciples, cut the ropes that tied the huge rocks. The rocks rolled down from great heights and smashed the Yi army that had entered the encirclement, leaving them with bloody heads and disfigured.

"There's an ambush! Retreat!" Tuo shouted in despair.

His right eye was splashed by gravel and he was now covering his eyes with bright red blood flowing out from between his fingers.

But it was too late. A total of five thousand people had already entered Gu Qingsu's ambush circle.

When they were about to flee, Gu Qingsu issued the second order. Xu Lin opened the second mechanism, and thousands of sharp arrows shot out from all directions.

Those Yi soldiers who were not killed by the falling rocks were shot into a hornet's nest.

The fearful Tuo Luo was shot in the chest by an arrow. His injured eye was still bleeding, and his uninjured eye was wide open. He fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, and died with blood spitting out of his mouth.

The survivors who tried to flee were hacked to death by the enemy soldiers rushing down from all directions before they could take two steps.

At this point, the five thousand people brought by Tuo Luo were completely wiped out.

“Oh—oh—oh—”

The soldiers cheered with joy.

They won this battle beautifully, with only a few injured and no one killed.

But they were only happy for a moment before they heard the sound of emergency warning drums coming from the camp.

Gu Qingsu immediately gave the order, "Rearrange the mechanisms, leave 10,000 people behind, and keep a close eye on them! Everyone else, follow me back to the camp!"

"Yes!"

Gu Qingsu and his men hurried back to the camp.

It turned out that Beiqi and Yi State had launched a general attack in full force, hoping to break through the pass in one fell swoop.

The two sides have a huge disparity in military strength, but the other side has launched a general offensive, so we can only fight back.

The battle lasted for three consecutive days without a break. The soldiers were tired and hungry. Fortunately, on the third day, when our side was out of ammunition and food, a large number of Xiaoyao Sect disciples came with a large amount of food and joined the battle.

The Yi Kingdom and Beiqi were unable to conquer the city after a long siege, but they were unwilling to give up.

The news they received was that there was no food or military supplies in Chiling Pass, and they would not be able to fight for long. They had been attacking for three consecutive days, and both sides were exhausted. Just when Yiguo and Beiqi thought victory was in sight, a group of young men with extraordinary skills suddenly joined.

They didn't even have armor. Everyone was dressed in green, wielding long swords, and were unstoppable.

Having fought to this point, all I have to rely on is endurance.

The three sons of the Gu family have all gone into battle, and only old General Gu is still guarding the rear.

The commander will not go into battle easily.

Because once the commander goes into battle, it means telling the enemy that they have no other options and can only fight to the death.

With the addition of disciples from the Xiaoyao Sect, they seemed to have a chance to catch their breath.

But the difference in numbers between the two sides is still huge.

Yi State and Beiqi had already made plans not to withdraw their troops until the pass was broken.

If they cannot wait for reinforcements, they will fight to the last moment, even if it means fighting to the last man!

Watching the soldiers fall one after another, the enemy troops came one after another with ladders to climb the city. After being knocked down by huge rocks, new enemy troops came up.

On the fifth day, they had no more arrows or stones left, so they could only use fire.

Gu Qingrong was shot in the chest and was carried back to the camp for treatment.

Among the five deputy generals, three died in the battle.

Two were seriously injured.

On the sixth day, Gu Qingmao was shot in both legs and fell down.

The seventh day is also the most critical day.

Gu Qingsu led his men to fight desperately outside the city. Seeing that they were defeated, General Gu took up his gun and mounted his horse, led his troops out of the city, and rescued him from the brink of death under dozens of enemy spears...

Outside Chiling Pass, corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and even the city walls were stained with blood... The wind and sand filled the sky, making everyone feel desolate and lonely. Watching his companions fall one by one, he might be the next one.
