The entire street seemed to be used as a barrier to horses.

Of course, this kind of "rejection of horses" does have some effect. At least the Ding Ling people have no way to drive their horses straight forward and can only send a group of soldiers to walk in.

Commander Ding Ling looked at the silent South Gate of Juyongguan from a distance, and gradually frowned. He suddenly felt some inexplicable uneasiness...

Cao Jun's counterattack gave Commander Ding Ling a headache.

When people have nothing, they don't seem to care much about their own bad lives, but after they have some assets, they suddenly can't bear to part with their own "bad lives".

Think about it, I used to be so poor that I would give it up as soon as I gritted my teeth, but now that I have money and belongings, if I really give it all, then wouldn’t the goods I finally obtained become cheaper than the old Wang next door? By then,

Lao Wang next door spends his hard-earned money, plays with his wife, and beats his children. If you think about it a little bit, who can stand it?

So everyone wants to let Lao Wang next door come in!

Then I can go and play...well, to comfort Lao Wang's wife next door...

This is where the current contradiction of the Ding Ling people lies. Because they have the looted money, the Ding Ling people have begun to shrink back and forth. They are afraid of death and hesitate to move forward. Juyong Pass should have been conquered, but in the end they were humble to each other.

It was not until the general arrived that an effective attack was reorganized.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Houyuan gave up the stalemate with the Ding Ling people on the city wall and seemed to retreat. After all, not everyone under Xia Houyuan was the reincarnation of Sparta, and their flesh and blood bodies would always be somewhat damaged.

After the leader of the Ding Ling people arrived, he still held on, and in the end he had no choice but to die here.

But Commander Ding Ling did not feel that he could relax his vigilance. He felt that the retreat of the Cao army in front of him was too simple. At least in his opinion, these Cao troops blocking the way were not really at the end of their rope and had to retreat...

So there must be a problem, but where the specific problem is, it depends on human life to test it.

Sure enough, after the Ding Ling team entered the south gate, roars and fighting sounds started.

When Ding Ling is riding on a horse, it's not that bad, but once he gets off the horse...

Although he couldn't be considered a rookie, he was certainly not that far behind. In the street fight, Xia Houyuan and his guards killed him to pieces, and he crawled out of the south gate.

The leader of the Ding Ling people still frowned, and then sent more people, and directly set up ladders, climbed up the city wall, and then poured in together with the people at the city gate...

When Xia Houyuan saw this, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

The reason why the city wall is not defended is because on the one hand, the current Juyong Pass is not a heavy pass that has passed through the past dynasties, and it is a heavy pass during the period when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty guarded the country, so the current defense system is not that strong. On the other hand, it is because of the arrows carried by Xia Houyuan.

All of them have been used up, and defending the city wall is almost the same as being shot by Ding Ling while standing.

Therefore, the only option was to retreat and enter street fighting.

Thanks to the luck of the timid Dingling people who did not dare to attack in the early stage, Xia Houyuan got some time and arranged his personnel to make some arrangements. All the dry and flammable things in Juyong Pass were piled on the street. On the one hand, as a

The horses were held back to prevent the Ding Ling men from riding straight into the city. On the other hand, they also wanted to have materials to set fire to.

Xia Houyuan looked at the Ding Ling people rushing down from the city wall and sighed helplessly, "Let's light the fire!"

If Xia Houyuan continues to fight in the streets, the Ding Ling people who come down from the city wall will definitely go behind them, so now there is only one option left, which is to set fire to block the Ding Ling people's pursuit...

It's just a pity that the effect of setting fire is not very good now.

If the Ding Ling people swarm in and then block the streets and the debris, it will be very lethal. If the leader of the Ding Ling people also enters the city, it will naturally be the best!

It's a pity that the leader of the Ding Ling people was very cautious and entered the city in batches. As a result, Xia Houyuan's arrangement in the city will be exposed sooner or later. Therefore, now we can only kill as many as we can, and before the flames in the city are extinguished,

It can also block the progress of Ding Ling people.

But on the one hand, Juyongguan is not big, and Xia Houyuan does not have enough manpower, so there are not many combustibles collected. On the other hand, it has been raining some time ago, so the fire will inevitably be affected.

, it cannot be very big. Of course, it is even more impossible to set fire in the wild in the valley. Only in the small area of ​​​​Juyongguan and where there is some dry wood can there be such conditions for setting fire.

As the flames rose, Xia Houyuan waved his hand and ordered, "Let's retreat!"

Some Ding Ling people were trapped in the fire scene, burning and screaming, while other Ding Ling people on the edge of the fire scene rolled and crawled to extinguish the flames on their bodies, and then fled far away...

Black smoke billowed into the sky at the entrance to Nanmen Street.

Xia Houyuan finally looked back, seemingly through the swaying air and smoke, and saw the angry look cast by leader Ding Ling outside the city gate. He couldn't help but sneered, laughed, turned around and left. Next step,

Taking advantage of their familiarity with the Juyongguan Mountain Road, they launched a guerrilla attack in the mountains to delay the progress of the Ding Ling people as much as possible.
