For example, the siege party is up along the cloud ladder, and one person can come up on the narrow ladder at most once, and there are only so many positions on the top of the city, basically one-on-one, and if you die, it is three-on-one. At this time, the siege party just needs to stab a spear and keep stabbing it. It is the same if there is no spear and bamboo pole. As long as the siege person falls off the ladder, he can even throw him to death.

At this time, is there a difference between the people guarding the city who are experienced in battle?

At most, the elite has better physical strength and more quick killing. If you persist for a longer period of time, the others really don’t have much advantage.

This is also when many foreign tribes invade, when officials from some places prevented a group of ordinary people and could block some brutal and amazingly powerful invaders outside the city for several months or even half a year.

If there is no advantage in defending the city, then who will have nothing to do when you are full and you have nothing to do to build the city wall?

The advantage of the city is that it can be kept by ordinary people. But if such a job is left to the elite, it will definitely be useless.

The consequence of being useless is not just a waste of resources, but abstaining from one's own strengths, thus giving up one's own advantages invisibly.

It was because Song Li saw this that he was happy, and at the same time he felt that Song Qiuming was a pity. Because from the moment he decided to defend the Demon Locking Pass, he was actually doomed to fail.

The reason why Song Li had such confidence was that he had a trump card in his hand, and he knew himself and his enemy, so he could win safely. However, Song Qiuming only knew himself but did not know how to know his enemy. He did not understand that Song Li's tactical concept came from another world and was still using the means of dealing with ordinary rebels to deal with Song Li. The result can be imagined.

During the war, if there is a generation difference in weapons, the result may be that they are completely abused by the other party. If there is a generation difference in strategic thinking and tactical thinking, the same is true.

It’s a pity that Song Qiuming didn’t know this. He was still preparing for the battle in great enthusiasm. While strengthening the demon lock pass, he was training the elite in his hands, allowing the soldiers who were accustomed to field battles to learn how to defend the city.

Two days later, the vanguard battalion of Song Li's army had arrived outside the demon lock pass.

This vanguard battalion has a total of 5,000 people, and the general is Lu Qian, who once followed Song Li to the Kingdom of Lambis.

The last time when King Lambis suppressed the rebellion, Song Li was very satisfied with Lu Qian's performance, so this time he took him to his side when he left the imperial capital, and promoted him when he raised his army and ordered him to serve as the vanguard.

Although the number of people in the Pioneer Battalion is small, it is an indispensable part of the army. Its responsibilities are also very important. It is a trivial matter to build bridges when traveling mountains and encountering water. It is also a small matter for the large army to remove some small-scale enemies in advance. Not only is it much more powerful, but it is also easy to get credit. Therefore, it is also quick to be promoted. Those who can be a vanguard are not only the confidant of the head coach, but also have no bad strength.

Lu Qian was naturally very happy to be the leader of the forward battalion and was also very hardworking.

At this time, he led his team to the outside of the demon lock pass. According to the convention, he first shot a letter of persuading surrender.

Although Song Li also knew that Song Qiuming would definitely not surrender, since it was a convention, of course there was still a need to abide by it. At least when the fight started, you can still say it without saying anything.

After shooting out the letter of persuading surrender, Lu Qian did not organize his people to start attacking the city, but ordered his subordinates to set up camp on the spot to accommodate the subsequent large troops.

Of course, Song Qiuming did not surrender, and even opened the letter, but he did not take the initiative to attack Lu Qian and others. He just watched them build a military camp about ten miles outside the Locking Demon Pass.

At noon that day, Song Li and his army arrived. At this time, the number of troops increased again, reaching a huge amount of 400,000.

As the saying goes, there are tens of thousands of people who are boundless. What's more, there are 400,000 people. Just the camping tents are like they extending to the horizon.

In order to avoid Song Qiuming stealing the camp in the middle of the night, Song Li of course also made careful arrangements.

That night, Song Li summoned the generals of each division and said, "Don't say it, I believe you all have seen that the Locking Demon Pass is the biggest battle we have encountered since the uprising. Whether we can defeat it is enough to determine whether we can enter the imperial capital smoothly and eventually change the world, so I order..."

Crash.

All the generals stood attentively and said solemnly: "Let the commander-in-chief."

"Very good." Song Li took the map and pointed to the points marked on it and said: "Tomorrow morning, each battalion will organize good people to attack these points intensively. I don't ask if you can fight. I only have one result, at least let the defenders in the city know that our belief in taking this place is extremely firm. Even if we rely on the crowd, we will have to bury it for him. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The generals agreed loudly.

"Very good." Song Li nodded and said, "Then go down, the Sima of the Army will assign tasks to you later."

That's all? The generals were all dumbfounded. They thought that Song Li called them here this time to teach some tricks to break the city, but they didn't expect that after they came, they sent them away without saying a few words. Is this going to attack the city?

No one knew what Song Li was thinking, no one dared to ask, and everyone retreated in confusion.

The next morning, after a full meal, the battalions began to organize people to attack the city.

From Shigu City to here, Song Li was not only training his army, but also preparing various siege equipment. He prepared what he had in this world, but he also prepared what he had not in this world. Now that the fight started, the scene was quite spectacular.

Although there were many people on Song Li's side, it was impossible to send everyone out. Instead, they searched for several main attack points on the fifty-mile-long wall of the Locking Demon Pass to make key breakthroughs. In addition, there were also some places that also needed to fight, but the main purpose was to attract the attention of the defenders.

The siege war is very fierce, but in fact it is quite boring. There is basically no strategy to say. To put it bluntly, one side attacks the other side defends, and it depends on the willpower of both sides.

During this process, casualties were naturally inevitable. The bodies quickly piled up into hills, and the blood dyed the ground blood red.

Song Li's side suffered a lot of casualties, and Song Qiuming, who was guarding the city, did not take much advantage. The war losses of both sides were almost five to one.

After a morning, although the attack did not make any progress, the battle did not stop. The generals of Song Li's battalions implemented his orders well and took turns to fight. They all rushed desperately, with a fierce momentum, which made the defenders in the city feel a lot of pressure.

"Master, will you still fight like this in the afternoon?" asked Lu Qian, who did not participate in the siege, but stayed with Song Li.

"Of course not." Song Li shook his head and said, "I am just letting our soldiers see blood, be tempered, and complete sharp transformation as soon as possible. If we continue to fight like this, let alone whether we will be able to wipe out all the people, time alone cannot be wasted, Lu Qian..."

"Master, please give the order."

"Gather your people together and be prepared. When you see my banner, you will immediately attack the city gate with all your might.

"Ah?" Lu Qian was stunned. The city gate of the Locking Demon Pass was not made of paper or wood, but was made of fine iron. Not to mention how big it was, it was nearly three feet thick. At the same time, there were various defense runes engraved on it. Not to mention that it was rushing with flesh and blood, even if it was hit with a siege hammer, it might not be able to break it.

"What? Do you want to disobey?" Song Li's face darkened.

"I dare not." Military orders are like mountains, but Lu Qian dared not to resist. This is not another place, and there is no room for him to bargain. What Song Li said is military orders, and he had to go even if he asked him to die.

Song Li turned around and waved his hand.

In an instant, more than a thousand warriors wearing golden scale mail and ferocious iron-faced faces gathered next to Song Li.

These people were from the Blade Assault Corps. They followed Song Li to plunder the city and made a lot of military achievements along the way. Song Li would use them every time he fought hard, and he would also lead the way.

Song Li knew very well the importance of the Demon Locking Pass, and of course he didn't want to delay here, so he had no intention of siege by relying on conventional methods from the beginning. The morning ones were just paralyzing the other party.

At this time, it is the real killer weapon.

"Follow me." Song Li waved his hand, then rushed out of the military formation and rushed towards the gate of the Locking Demon Pass with the Thousand Blades.

As soon as he saw someone trying to attack the city gate, Song Qiuming ordered, the archers above the city began to pull the bow and shoot arrows. At the same time, there were also some long-range attack weapons such as Eight-Nuo Crossbows, Divine Arm Crossbows and other powerful attack weapons that shot towards Song Li and others.

With Song Li's strength, whether it is bows or crossbows, it is not enough to cause any harm to him. The more than a thousand blade assault groups he trained with himself are not vegetarians. In terms of strength, they may not be as good as Song Li, but when they formed a battle formation and integrated the strength of all people, it was different.

A thousand people lined up in battle formation, like a heavy tank rumbling forward, crushing towards the city gate. As for the arrows flying in, before they could hit them, people from this field would slash them with sword energy.

From Song Li’s military formation to the gate of Shuo Yao Pass, the straight line distance is less than five miles. It took Song Li and others less than half a minute to complete such a road.

"Drive it for me."

Before coming to the city gate, Song Li shouted loudly, and with a wave of his hand, he had already smashed a ball of imperial fire onto the city gate.

The city gate of the Locking Demon Pass is very strong and thick, and there are many defensive runes on it. It is difficult to destroy it with ordinary means. However, under the burning of the imperial fire, the city gate, which is more than three feet thick, was burned through a large hole after just one or two seconds, and the hole expanded instantly.

"boom."
