Another day passed quietly.
The fierce battle at the top of Yanhuiguan City started again. This time, with sufficient infantry reinforcements, and with the greater number of Wudang Army's arrow rain to suppress and check for leaks and vacancies, the Wudang Army's battle losses were immediately reduced, while the North The Liang people's battle losses immediately increased without any suspense.
In addition, after learning that a large number of reinforcements were coming to the city, there was no hope of breaking the city in a short time, and the morale of the siege soldiers was inevitably low. Even if the generals who were excited after learning the inside story shouted and urged, it would not have much effect.
Therefore, although the war was still fierce, it was still not a little bit easier than yesterday, and Yanhui Pass was defended with an impregnable force.
But Jin Jiancheng and others on the top of the city were not at all happy.
Although they were heavily besieged, they did not know the news about Qingchuan Pass, but they were all knowledgeable soldiers. Based on the current situation of Qingchuan Pass, if they mobilized 30,000 tigers and leopards to ride over, they would very likely be able to capture Qingchuan Pass.
King Zhennan is also a veteran on the battlefield, so it is impossible that he does not understand this, but why is he indifferent?
There is obviously only one reason: Beiliang still has a backup plan.
With this Beiliang people's approach of raising troops and mobilizing a large number of people, there will definitely be no shortage of people surrounding Qingchuan Pass.
Qingchuan Pass is lost.
The people above the city didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
Jin Jiancheng turned to look at the horizon and said silently in his heart: Master, where are you?
——
At Qingchuan Pass, the bloody battle was even more brutal than yesterday's Yanhui Pass.
The Beiliang people went in such a big circle just to create a chance for a fatal blow to the crane-controlling army.
Seeing that the unparalleled feat was right in front of them, both the commander-in-chief Yelvxiu and the subordinate officers and soldiers of the Crane Control Army were all ready to risk their lives, hoping to complete their feat in one battle.
Their offensive was like the violent wind and rain in the summer evening, smashing crazily at the small thatched house in Qingchuan Pass.
But fortunately, this thatched house is well built. Although there are indeed not many defenders, if they defend the city, the opponent can only attack with limited strength each time. The defensive equipment in the city is complete and abundant, and there are still a thousand elite troops. Check for leaks and fill in the gaps at any time, so even if the wind and rain are swaying, you still stand strong.
However, looking at the wounded soldiers being carried down from time to time and the corpses on the ground, and seeing the auxiliary soldiers and able-bodied civilians all wearing armor and going into battle, Ying Rulong knew that he could not hold on for much longer. If there was an accident at the top of the city today, the entire city would be affected. The situation may collapse in an instant.
He stood on the city wall, stretched out his spear like lightning, stabbed a sergeant of the Crane Control Army who believed in his bravery, and sadly pulled out the bloody spear head.
Master, where are you?
——
The sun slowly moved away, the sky and earth seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and the light gradually dimmed.
On the south tower of Lieyang Pass, two generals were sitting in the tower's room. You and I were drinking one bowl at a time.
"General Yuan, you still have a way. You see, the city is defended and the entertainment is not left behind."
Opposite him was a general in his thirties, who snorted coldly when he heard this, "He, Xue Zonghan, has made such great contributions this time, so he just takes care of the Xue family and his direct descendants, and leaves me here to watch the city gate in the cold wind. Damn it, he has an army of 100,000 people rushing towards him, what is there to defend here? Can the Wudang Army fly? This is obviously an excuse to put on my little shoes! He dares to do this, and I can’t enjoy it anymore? Damn it You think my Yuan family is easy to bully, right?"
The people at the same table did not dare to agree, so they had to pick up the wine bowl and said, "Hey! King Zhennan may have his own considerations. Let's not talk about that. Come, drink and drink!"
Although the officers who were left to guard the city secretly drank wine on the city tower, Lieyang Pass's basic defense against the south was still intact. There were also many sergeants standing on the city wall, and the gate was closed tightly to guard against intruders from the south. of possible enemy forces.
However, the north gate of Lieyang Pass is wide open.
Because Lieyang Pass is actually built between two mountains, it is impossible to pass from the east and west sides. It is not easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is purely natural and difficult to overcome.
If the Southern Dynasty army wanted to enter, they could only attack from the south and break through the city. This is also one of the important reasons why the stability of the territory between the two sides has not changed for decades.
Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, the North Gate is absolutely safe. The successive guards of Lieyang Pass always open the North Gate wide on weekdays. After all, the soldiers in this city, living on the border, also need good wine, good food and good women to appease them.
The situation is the same at the moment. Although there is a bloody battle dozens of miles away, across the towering city wall, merchants and messengers from Beiliang are still coming and going here talking and laughing, bringing rich supplies and goods from all directions. News, a scene of singing and dancing.
A group of city guards were on duty at the north gate, skillfully searching for oil and water from people passing by.
The commander weighed the money bag in his hand and said, "This is a good fight! There are a lot more people coming and going today!"
The men on the side laughed and agreed, "Isn't that right? Since this afternoon, people have been coming into the city all the time. Let's go to war and these stupid businessmen will get rich!"
The chief laughed and said, "Whatever, let's not kill people, we can still get benefits, why are you talking about so much! After the shift, let's go to Honghua Building to hang out, and also take the brothers to have fun!"
"The boss is mighty!"
Amid the cheers, a cavalry force of about three hundred people came out of the dusk and quickly approached the city gate.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city stepped forward to greet them, "Stand"
The leader, Jiang Yuhu, swung his riding whip and said, "Military emergency! Get out of here!"
Although the whip was empty, it made a crisp sound in the air.
Before the city guard could step forward, the chief on the side immediately reached out and grabbed him.
It wasn't until the team was allowed into the city that he yelled in a low voice: "Why are you being so stubborn now! It looks like you are one of ours. If you annoy others, who will you ask to reason with?" go!"
"But, when we are ordered to defend the city, don't we even ask? We just get this little money every day?"
"Hey! You're not happy about letting you make money, right? That's it, how many people want to make money but don't have this way!"
Shi Chang snorted, "It's better to wait and see, than to be called to attack the city and kill people!"
Maybe he felt that what he said just now was a bit harsh, but he was so sweet and soothing, so he imparted his experience and said: "Standing at the gate of this city, you have a lot of knowledge. Ask whether you want to ask, how to ask, how you scored! Like now, there is a battle going on in the south. During the war, it is normal for so many troops to be mobilized. It is normal for people to come from the north. Who can we afford to offend, the messenger who comes to deliver the news or the general who comes to share the credit? Besides, if a large army comes, what else can you ask? Okay, if anything can happen to these two or three hundred people, just turn a blind eye!"
He looked towards the city and looked at the team's path, "Look, didn't they just go straight to the General's Mansion!"
After successfully entering the city, Jiang Yuhu turned around and gave some instructions, and more than ten people behind him immediately left the queue.
As waves of whistles sounded in the streets and alleys, the unruly soldiers who had entered the city scattered into several groups immediately gathered into several groups, and each of them quietly rushed to important places such as the armory, grain and grass warehouse, and stables.
Jiang Yuhu, on the other hand, led his people directly into the general's mansion, and in the name of urgent military information, he randomly picked up people from the general's mansion, and learned that all the generals in the city had left the city, leaving only two to three thousand people to guard the pass. Now he was ordered to do so. The person guarding the city was a deputy general named Yuan.
Jiang Yuhu directly ordered the man to lead the way. His aloofness and domineering nature made the hundreds of people who stayed in front of the general's mansion dare not show any disobedience, let alone raise any questions.
After going up to the tower, Jiang Yuhu and his men met the two drunken men directly in the tower.
"Who are you?"
Hearing someone coming, the general who was born in the Yuan family, one of the seven major surnames in Northern Liang, stood up and looked at him nervously and suspiciously.
Without saying a word, Jiang Yuhu walked over, drew his sword like lightning, and put it on the opponent's neck, "Trash, be honest."
The guards beside him tacitly killed each other with one blow and killed the others present.
General Yuan was so frightened that he sobered up in an instant, and said with a stern expression, "Which family are you from? This general is a direct descendant of the Yuan family. You have to consider the consequences!"
Jiang Yuhu sneered, and while pushing him out of the house, he said coldly: "If you are really capable, how could Xue Zonghan not take you? To put it bluntly, even if you have a background from the Yuan family, you are still a waste!"
"Who are you? How dare you call King Zhennan by his first name!"
Jiang Yuhu looked at the enemies that kept coming, and chuckled, his voice suddenly trembled, "Listen up, my master, Jiang Yuhu!"
Jiang Yuhu? !
When they saw Jiang Yuhu holding General Yuan hostage with his horizontal sword, the soldiers on the top of the city immediately rushed towards this side in panic. As a result, they were stunned when they heard the name. Some were even so frightened that they threw away their weapons and fell to their knees.
"Jiang Jiang. General, spare your life!" General Yuan's legs went weak, and a fishy smell filled the air from between his legs.
Jiang Yuhu looked at the Beiliang soldiers on top of the city, "What? Do you really want to have a fight with me?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yuhu threw out the long sword in his hand. The long sword shot out of the air and accurately pierced the throat of a man who was quietly touching the bow. He said coldly: "If you surrender, you will not be killed! Anyone who does not surrender will be killed." amnesty!"
Bang!
On top of the city, people slowly fell to their knees.
Nearly three hundred Wudang troops who followed Jiang Yuhu were unscathed.
The reputation is more than illustrious.
Under the city wall, the sound of horse hooves gradually sounded. The Wudang Army sergeant, who had seized the horses and ordnance without the opponent's defense, quickly reverted into the attire of an elite cavalry and quickly swept through the city.
The changes coming from the top of the city and the General's Mansion finally spread in the city, especially when the Wudang Army formed a group and started shouting in the city. The entire Lieyang Pass instantly became a mess.
No one expected that the seemingly impregnable Lieyang Pass would fall into the hands of the Southern Dynasties.
It’s still Jiang Yuhu, the killer of the Southern Dynasties!
Just when the people in the city were feeling anxious, several groups of unmanned cavalry ran around the city and started shouting.
"The general is merciful. All civilians in Beiliang are allowed to leave. Those who do not leave after half an hour will be responsible for the consequences!"
The same words followed the horseshoes of Wudang Army and spread throughout Lieyang Pass.
For a time, countless people rushed towards the city gate.
No foundation or property is as important as life.
Resist? Other people might be able to say, but that is Jiang Yuhu, the killing god of the Southern Dynasties who chased the King of Zhennan around. How many heads dare to think about that?
Many Beiliang officers and soldiers changed their clothes, mixed in with the team, and fled, and the non-commissioned officers did not stop them.
On the top of the city, Jiang Yuhu calmly looked at the chaos in the city. The guards on the side asked doubtfully: "Sir, why didn't you stop those Beiliang officers and soldiers who took the opportunity to escape?"
Jiang Yuhu said calmly: "There are only three thousand of us. If we don't use their fear to make them leave before they can react at this time, how can we successfully control this Guancheng?"
The guard suddenly realized it and said in admiration: "Young Master is wise!"
Listening to this tasteless flattery, Jiang Yuhu sighed. These words must be said nicely by the guy from Zhongjing City!
Forget it, just be patient for now, and then let King Zhennan be defeated and then let him say a few words.
This achievement is worthy of one or two poems handed down from generation to generation, right?
Jiang Yuhu quietly came to his senses, turned around and ordered to his guards: "Go down first and ask people to prepare food and hot water. After the Beiliang people leave, close the city gate and let everyone rest for an hour. After an hour, leave Five hundred men will defend the city for you, and the rest, follow me."
The guard's expression changed when he heard this. Of course he knew what Jiang Yuhu meant, but there were only 2,500 people. Isn't that too few? He said, "Master, please bring more people. This Lieyang Pass will last for an hour and a half." Will anyone come, I will use two hundred, oh no, one hundred people will be enough."
Jiang Yuhu smiled confidently, "Why don't we just beat Xue Zonghan? Two thousand people are enough."
He looked south with a calm expression. If Lieyang Pass was taken, the battle would be 70% won.
An hour later, in Lieyang Pass, which was almost empty, the elite Wudang Army, wearing Beiliang armor, holding Beiliang ordnance, and riding Beiliang horses, formed a formation in the city and stood solemnly.
In order to distinguish them from the real Beiliang people, everyone has a red cloth tied around their neck, as bright as fire.
After eating, drinking, and taking a hot bath, they were full of energy, and their inner fighting spirit was flying like a hairband around their necks.
Jiang Yuhu stood quietly at the front and glanced at the guards on the side, "Keep this Lieyang Pass at all costs."
"Don't worry, sir! We are in the city!"
Jiang Yuhu looked at Pao Ze behind him, "Without further ado, are you ready to go with me to fight the Beiliang barbarians?"
"I would like to follow you, sir!"
"Set off!"
The south gate of Lieyang Pass slowly opened a gap.
——
At the foot of Yanhui Pass, Zhennan King Xue Zonghan was sitting in the Chinese army's tent, his brows slightly furrowed, and an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
He thought about it carefully, and there seemed to be no problem!
The 50,000 crane-controlling troops at Qingchuan Pass can be eaten by them no matter what. Once Qingchuan Pass is obtained, Yan Huiguan will just slowly lock the main force of these useless troops in the city and grind them to death.
The defensive pattern of two passes and one battalion in the Southern Dynasties was completely dismantled, and the Wudang Army entered the cage and became a trapped beast. The road south was already smooth.
This place is so close to Lieyang Pass, so there will be no problem with food and grass.
His Majesty personally planned this matter, and no one in the court would cause any trouble.
Where does this uneasiness come from?
Jiang Yuhu?
No, if Jiang Yuhu returns to the west, there will be ambushes of his own on the way! There is no movement now, it can't be him.
Could that be Wen Lv?
Yes, when the news of Yuyan Prefecture reaches Zhongjing, he will definitely be ridiculed and even humiliated by the emperors and ministers of the Southern Dynasties. But it doesn't matter, good boy, this is also a training for you. Just bear with it, and I will give you a big surprise as a father. !
He stood up, and just as he was about to go out to supervise the battle, he heard a commotion outside the tent, and a deafening cheer sounded from the city wall.
One of the guards rushed over breathlessly, "King. King!"
King Zhennan frowned, "Speak if you have something to say! What's the dog's bark?"
"Your Highness! Jiang Yuhu is here!"
"What!"
The king of Zhennan stood up and rushed out of the camp. He saw a team of only a few dozen people, wearing their beam armor, standing in the distance. The leader was none other than Jiang Yuhu, who was killed that day!
The ambush was defeated, and not only that, but their armor was also taken away!
What a waste!
King Zhennan felt that he had seen the truth clearly at a glance, and cursed secretly.
"Xue Zonghan! Come here and die!"
Jiang Yuhu and his followers shouted in unison, and then Jiang Yuhu opened his bow and shot an arrow directly down a Beiliang cavalryman.
Everyone behind them also opened their bows, and a hail of arrows killed more than a dozen lives.
After he finished shooting, he didn't even run away, he just looked at it so arrogantly.
Dozens versus tens of thousands, happy and not afraid!
Amidst the cheers at the top of the city, the morale of the people in Beiliang quietly dropped.
"My lord, be careful of fraud!"
"What a bluff! What's his bluff? If we take down Jiang Yuhu, this battle will be completely won!"
Xue Zonghan immediately ordered people to call Xue Jinqiang and Xue Hengshan, "This place is under the command of Jinqiang. Hengshan, please order 30,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and work with me to capture Jiang Yuhu!"
Both of them nodded immediately. Their knowledge was much higher than that of the other personal guards. They knew the importance of Jiang Yuhu in the military of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It could even be said that even if they did not win this battle, In the next two levels, as long as Jiang Yuhu is killed or captured, it will be regarded as a huge victory.
If Jiang Yuhu had been guarding here from the beginning, they might have hesitated;
If Jiang Yuhu waited until the overall situation was decided before appearing, Jiang Yuhu might turn around and run away, and they would not be able to pursue him;
But now, Jiang Yuhu dared to appear directly on the battlefield where they had taken absolute initiative, and he could not leave behind his brothers who had not yet fallen. In this case, they could only accept this huge gift.
They don't have the courage to take the initiative to attack Jiang Yuhu, who is the main force of the army, but they have the courage to bully Jiang Yuhu, who has thrown himself into a trap and has few followers.
As for the reason why the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were used, it was because the Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had almost the same combat power, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were more familiar with this terrain. They were both members of the Xue family. The two of them did not compete for credit for this, and immediately went down to give orders. .
Seeing the tiger and leopard cavalry gathering, Jiang Yuhu didn't really wait there to die, and immediately turned around and left with his followers.
Thirty thousand tiger and leopard cavalry roared up, pursuing madly, while the remaining more than 50,000 snow dragon cavalry, remaining tiger and leopard cavalry, and infantry still surrounded Yanhuiguan tightly.
Xue Hengshan took the lead, leading the vanguard, staring intently at the backs of the dozens of riders in front, as if he saw the supreme glory waving to him.
Jiang Yuhu lay on the horse, turned to look at Xue Hengshan, stretched his bow and shot an arrow, "Xue Hengshan! Run faster!"
The people behind him shouted, and their arrogance made Xue Hengshan's face sink like water.
Go crazy! Let me see if you can get crazy after a while!
He gritted his teeth and looked coldly, but soon he saw a group of cavalry wearing useless armor waiting on the hillside far to the east. At a glance, there seemed to be as many as four to five thousand.
They stopped on their horses and stood ready, as if preparing to meet Jiang Yuhu.
It turns out that this is what you rely on.
Xue Hengshan showed a ferocious smile. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Beiliang here at the moment. They are all elite frontier troops. If there are only 5,000, why should you be afraid? Let me see how you can run away!
He was not worried at all and continued to chase.
But Jiang Yuhu and his guards suddenly changed their direction and ran away to the north instead of rushing that way.
Xue Hengshan was not angry but happy, because what he saw in the distance to the north was the Lieyang Pass, their heroic pass in Beiliang.
When the time comes, let me see where you run away!
Seeing the situation in front of him, Xue Zonghan, the king of Zhennan who was in charge of the central army, immediately ordered five thousand soldiers and horses to prepare for the surprise attack of reinforcements from the east.
Then he divided five thousand cavalry and circled to the west to block Jiang Yuhu's path. He personally led 10,000 cavalry to block the south. In addition, there was Lieyang Pass in the north, and Xue Hengshan was chasing after him. With 10,000 riders, let me see how Jiang Yuhu can escape!
A smile gradually appeared on King Zhennan's lips. Being chased by Jiang Yuhu for hundreds of miles had always been a pain that he didn't want to mention. Now, he has finally come to the point of avenging his previous shame!
Seeing Jiang Yuhu and his dozens of guards running closer and closer to Lieyang Pass, Xue Hengshan's eyes became more and more excited.
Dozens of people were like leaves falling from the sky, passing through the city gate of Lieyang Pass lightly with the wind.
Not far away, the five thousand cavalry encircling them from the west were already approaching.
Jiang Yuhu had to turn around and head south, and to the south, the 10,000-strong Chinese army led by King Zhennan was slowly but surely approaching.
The encirclement is about to take shape!
Jiang Yuhu cannot escape even with his wings!
But just when Xue Hengshan led his team to rush through the south gate of Lieyang Pass, the city gate of Lieyang Pass suddenly opened, and a speeding up cavalry, like a sharp sword, stabbed Xue Hengshan's location resolutely and without hesitation.
Wearing the same armor as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and riding the same tall horses, they rushed out of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's lair and crashed into the Tiger and Leopard Rider who was caught off guard without any precautions.
Spears saw blood, iron hooves stirred wind. The sudden charge of this team caused the originally orderly Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to instantly fall into chaos.
Looking around, he saw people on both sides of him were his, but he didn't expect the other party to swing the knife towards him resolutely and decisively.
Xue Hengshan was also shocked. He didn't even have time to consider why the cavalry rushing out of Lieyang Pass attacked him. A long spear with a huge impact knocked him off his horse.
"Xue Hengshan is dead!"
The unknown cavalry shouted instantly, but Xue Hengshan, who was knocked off his horse, shouted, "I'm not dead yet." Not only was the shout drowned, but a burst of horse hooves trampled over him, and the person was also submerged under the horse's hooves.
This sudden change caused the 10,000 people led by Xue Hengshan to fall into a huge panic. However, this cavalry did not insist on chasing them. Instead, they rushed past and kept up with Jiang Yuhu's pace. He rushed towards King Zhennan's army.
Jiang Yuhu raised his spear and shouted loudly, "The Lieyang Pass has been lost and Xue Hengshan is dead. Disarm and don't kill!"
The people behind him shouted in unison, "Lie Yang Pass has been lost, Xue Hengshan is dead, surrender your weapons and don't kill!"
As if echoing his words, a tall ginger-character flag was instantly erected at the head of Lieyangguan City in the distance.
Xue Zonghan, who was still wondering why Xue Hengshan's tribe was suddenly in chaos, was instantly shocked when he heard this, and a big stone fell to the bottom of his heart!
Oops! How could Lieyang Pass be lost!
As soon as Lieyang Pass was lost, the original invasion of the south suddenly turned into the Southern Dynasty closing the door and beating the dogs. If the Southern Dynasty was cruel, wouldn't all the hundreds of thousands of his troops be made dumplings by the Southern Dynasty?
He has always had a grand layout, and he even forgot to think about it. There were only 10,000 people around him at the moment.
Generally speaking, those standing in the back of a ten-thousand-person army formation have no idea of the battlefield situation and can only listen to the shouts from the left and right and follow the flags.
But even at the very end of the military formation, one can still see the high-flying ginger flag with the blazing sun behind it.
The flag fluttered in the wind, like a huge slap, smashing their retreat into pieces.
In a state of shock and panic, Jiang Yuhu, with 2,500 elites selected from the elites of the useless army, fiercely crashed into King Zhennan's central army.
King Zhennan just woke up from a dream and immediately shouted to stop him.
Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were powerful, first the general died, and then the city changed its flag, and the retreat was cut off. In a panic, they were killed by such a group of people wearing armor and weapons similar to themselves. For a moment, it was simply Can't tell who is the enemy and who is the comrade.
They can't tell the difference, but Wudangjun can tell it clearly.
As long as there is no red cloth tied on the head, then kill.
With such a killing, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry couldn't do anything. When they saw people approaching from the left and right, they had no choice but to defend themselves with their swords.
Under this situation, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry not only had nowhere to use its strength, but also accidentally injured many of its comrades.
In such a chaotic situation, the best way is to get out of the chaotic battlefield first.
When everyone is so smart to discover this method and put it into practice, an escape is inevitable.
King Zhennan tried his best to order his men, but seeing that the defeat was certain, the thought of cherishing his own life finally took over, and he led his guards to turn around and gallop towards the south.
There is still his Snow Dragon Rider there, and there is still hope for his comeback.
After all, Jiang Yuhu only has a few thousand people. As long as he stabilizes his position, he can't fight back again!
The armor of the Snow Dragon Cavalry is different from that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. This ghostly fighting style will no longer work.
It's not that he didn't know that this might lead to more serious consequences, but he couldn't bear the responsibility of losing this battle.
At this moment, he was like a gambler who was losing his mind and wanted to seize every hope of a comeback.
Once the general escapes, the situation completely collapses.
The Wudang Army, which looked like stone sculptures parked on the hillside, roared angrily, descended the mountain like a fierce tiger, and began to chase and kill the tiger and leopard cavalry that were fleeing below.
If the courageous Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could look back, they would find that this Wudang Army only had a thousand people. In the middle of the team, there were scarecrows wearing Wudang Army clothes.
At the beginning, Jiang Yuhu took away five thousand elites, but only three thousand were brought to the surprise attack on Lieyang Pass. Of the remaining two thousand, one thousand of them were deployed here.
But just such a thousand people restrained the five thousand people of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry from daring to move. At this moment, one thousand people chased twenty thousand people, killing them crazily.
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Yuhu's lips. If King Zhennan had really mustered up the courage to break through to the west just now, the siege of Qingchuan Pass and Yanhui Pass would not be easy to break. But fortunately, every step of this old friend's plan was in his plan. among.
Before Yan returned to the pass, both sides had no intention of fighting, silently waiting for the result in the distance.
Not long after, there was a huge smoke and dust, and several fast horses rushed over first, saying to Xue Jinqiang: "General, the prince has an order, quickly assemble the army, join the prince, surround and kill Jiang Yuhu!"
Xue Jinqiang's expression changed, and a chorus of shouts came from his ears, "The Lieyang Pass has been lost! King Zhennan has been defeated!"
Xue Jinqiang's expression suddenly changed again, and the same thoughts as the previous King of Zhennan passed through his mind, but he was good after all. He immediately ordered his cavalry and divided them into two sides. There were also spearmen and shield soldiers in front, and they drove Zhennan who was fleeing in embarrassment. The king stepped aside so they could regroup.
As he was passing by, he suddenly heard a shout from King Zhennan, "What the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."
He turned to look at the soldiers and said loudly: "What did Uncle Wang just say?"
The soldiers also shouted loudly: "I didn't hear you clearly!"
Xue Jinqiang rolled his eyes and planned to let all the defeated troops pass and form another formation.
Huh? Didn't you say there were pursuers? Why haven't you seen me?
Huh? Are these tigers and leopards crazy? Why do you attack us?
Damn it!
His ears finally heard what he just said clearly, but the chasing Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already charged into his left army fiercely.
The right army was waiting for reinforcements when the city gate of Yanhui Pass opened, and more than 10,000 useless cavalrymen who had been holding back for two days rushed down the mountain like tigers.
The Snow Dragon Riders, whose morale was already low, no longer had an advantage in numbers at this moment. Facing the incompetent army that looked like wolves and tigers, they were gradually defeated.
Xue Jinqiang was also unable to recover, so he could only try his best to restrain the team and follow the retreat of King Zhennan.
"Uncle Wang! What's going on!"
The King of Zhennan's beard and hair were a little messy, "It's hard to say, quickly organize the formation. I have ordered people to go to the south of Yanhui Pass to gather more than 20,000 Murong Bao's people. When they come, this battle will still be fought!"
Xue Jinqiang hesitated, turned around and tried to organize resistance.
But the tide was over and defeat was determined. Facing the main force of the Wudang Army led by Jiang Yuhu himself, and without much advantage in numbers, it was difficult to be defeated without collapse.
When the Wudang Army shouted over and over again such heart-wrenching words as Lieyang Pass was lost and they surrendered their weapons without killing, the Beiliang Army, which was already based on tribes, finally collapsed completely.
At this time, reinforcements from the south had just arrived, and they saw broken troops all over the mountains and plains.
Behind them is the Wudang Army, which is as ferocious as a mountain tiger.
Damn it!
This group of Snow Dragon Riders was not only caught off guard, but even the leading general was temporary, making them even more vulnerable.
After the symbolic obstruction, they hurriedly joined the escape camp.
The King of Zhennan was wrapped up in the rebellious army. Although he fled, his bodyguards were still there, and the banner was still in place, and he still gathered most of the defeated troops.
He said solemnly: "For the current plan, we can only count on the Crane Control Army. Let's go over and let them block the Wudang Army. We still have 40,000 Snow Dragon Riders. When we regroup, 40,000 plus 50,000 will be 90,000. Against a 20,000-strong army, there is still hope of turning defeat into victory!"
What he said made everyone around him very emotional, so their morale recovered a little, and they fled towards Qingchuan Pass in a hurry.
Jiang Yuhu chased after him like a sheep, not surprised by King Zhennan's choice.
Although the victory was determined this time, he was not relaxed at all.
Orders were issued in an orderly manner, and the personal guards were asked to pass on the orders. They immediately sent three thousand cavalry to Lieyang Pass to help defend the city, and then sent two thousand more cavalry to help chase down the defeated one thousand cavalry. It was necessary to expand the results of the battle. , the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were completely maimed and destroyed in one battle.
He himself pursued and killed them, using constant noise and massacre with swords and guns to add to the panic of the enemy.
At Qingchuan Pass, Ying Rulong had already heard the distant noise.
Although he didn't know what the movement was, he, who always knew how to fight, immediately began to cheer up the people on the top of the city.
Everyone didn't know whether it was true or not, but they subconsciously believed in him because they all felt that this was something that the young master could do!
The original defenders of the city had almost been killed and wounded, and most of the Qian Wudang army had been damaged. The auxiliary soldiers, civilians, and young men in the city had all climbed to the top of the city. Relying on the abundant defense materials, they reluctantly held on. At this moment, I mustered up my courage and the situation was stabilized again.
Yelu Xiu stood in front of the account and looked at it coldly.
The warriors of the Crane Control Army suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, but as long as Qingchuan Pass is captured, everything will be easy.
He was about to give the order to invest more troops when a scout came over in a panic, "Commander! It's not good!"
Yelvxiu quickly kicked him over and said sternly: "Now that we have the overall situation in hand, what can happen?"
The scout glanced at the people around him who were looking back after hearing the sound, and reacted suddenly. He leaned over and whispered: "Jiang Yuhu succeeded in the surprise attack on Lieyang Pass. Now he has defeated the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Snow Dragon Cavalry. King Zhennan is leading the rout. The soldiers are coming towards us, and Jiang Yuhu is chasing them!"
"What?"
Yelu Xiu felt as if he had been struck by five thunders, and his whole body was numb.
"Is the news true?"
Before the scout could speak, Yelvxiu saw the sky filled with smoke and dust coming from the east.
Xue Zonghan, did you grow up eating shit?
A mighty army of 100,000 people, couldn’t stop Jiang Yuhu?
Yelvxiu reluctantly glanced at the top of Qingchuan Pass, greeted all the female relatives of Xue Zonghan's family in his heart, and then roared: "Regulate the army, line up, and face the enemy from the east!"
The offensive suddenly stopped. Ying Rulong knew that he had guessed correctly. He collapsed on the ground, panting violently, and then giggled.
Under the city, the He Controlling Army was worthy of being the elite of Yelu's Eight Tribes. Soon the infantry formed in front and the cavalry formed in the rear. They assembled in front of Qingchuan Pass, facing east.
Yelvshi stood in front of the formation with his personal guards, and sure enough he saw the flag of King Zhennan coming in a hurry.
Yelvshi asked his soldiers to follow him and shouted: "King Zhennan, pass on both sides, don't rush into the formation!"
King Zhennan had not completely lost his mind at this time. He also knew the dangers of breaking up and charging into the formation, so he tried his best to restrain his troops and rush through the formation from both sides.
However, how could Jiang Yuhu let him get his wish? When he saw it from a distance, he immediately divided his troops into three groups, one on the left and one on the right, with 5,000 men each, in order to drive the defeated troops to attack the He Controlling Army's position.
King Zhennan and the people around him were able to maintain their senses, but the defeated Snow Dragon Cavalry in the huge team could not. Many people did not even know what Yelvxiu shouted.
Just when you see someone blocking you, you shout to give way. If you don't give way, you just wave the knife at them.
At this critical moment of life and death, there is no need to worry about so much!
If you don’t dare to attack the Wudang Army, don’t you dare to bully the Control He Army?
As a result, the military formation of the Crane Control Army was also shaky.
But after all, they had a total of 50,000 people, and they were well prepared. After paying a huge price of casualties, the Snow Dragon Riders finally calmed down a little as if they had been poured cold water on them, knowing that this was an indestructible stone. , or had no choice but to run towards both sides.
Yelvxiu let out a long breath, and Wudang Army also chased after him at this time.
Jiang Yuhu came quickly, glanced at Yelv Xiu coldly, and said loudly: "I have an old relationship with Yelv Shi. Today I will only pursue the King of Zhennan, and I will not kill you! If you are sensible, get out of here. Don't say that you were unpredicted." also!"
Yelu Xiu looked surprised and looked at Jiang Yuhu with hesitation in his heart.
"Stubborn!"
Jiang Yuhu shouted coldly, and the three Wudang troops merged into one, suddenly speeding up and rushing towards the scattered formation of the Crane Controlling Army.
Although Yelvxiu was a little confused about what he said just now and suspected that it was Jiang Yuhu's plan to alienate him, he was here and knew how risky it was to withdraw his troops rashly, so he immediately summoned his soldiers to resist.
The two sides fought together, one side was the Wudang Army with high morale and extremely ferocious, and the other side was the He Controlling Army who was waiting for work and was in full formation.
Wudang's army is stronger, but it loses in numbers;
Although the crane-controlling army is a little weaker, it is better when there are more people and a unified formation;
The two sides were locked in an inseparable fight for a while.
At this time, King Zhennan was also trying his best to collect the defeated troops, and saw that the balance of the battlefield would fall to the Beiliang people again.
At this moment, in the distance to the south, a sudden burst of smoke filled the sky, as well as overwhelming shouts of killing.
In the distance to the south, thousands of cavalry were seen charging ahead, and behind them were infantry as far as the eye could see.
They raised their weapons and shouted, coming to defend their land.
At a glance, a rough estimate shows that it is definitely no less than 50,000 or 60,000.
Yelvxiu turned pale with fright. When he turned around, he found that King Zhennan and his men had decisively turned around and fled.
"Xue Zonghan, let me fuck you."
The pressure of the imperial power made Yelu Xiu endure his blasphemy against the Queen Mother.
The soldiers on the side said: "General, Zhennanguan has been lost. Let's withdraw. Don't bury all the elites of Yelu's Eight Divisions here!"
Yelv Xiu raised his head and sighed. His Majesty's thunderous and furious face flashed through his mind, as well as the words Yelv Shi, the co-leader of the Eight Departments of Yelu, said to him in private. Finally, he remembered Jiang Yuhu's shouting just before the battle.
"After I lead my headquarters to defeat you, you lead the people to retreat first!"
"General, I'll stop you, you can retreat first!"
Yelvxiu said in a deep voice: "This is a military order! I will withdraw first. How many of the He Controlling Army can survive?"
The crane-controlling army began to retreat slowly. Jiang Yuhu squinted and snorted, "Jin Jiancheng, you personally lead five thousand riders, personally "escort" the crane-controlling army to leave, and return after a hundred miles. The rest of the people, follow me, and we will send them off. Send King Zhennan off! After joining forces with Xu Zhenshan who is chasing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, we will come back to support you."
After saying that, the Wudang Army quickly divided into two teams under the military orders. Jiang Yuhu personally led five thousand cavalry and pursued Zhennan King's central army directly.
Jin Jiancheng also chased and killed the retreating crane control army. Although the opponent retreated in an orderly manner, Jin Jiancheng did not rush forward. He cut the meat with a knife and happily harvested the heads along the way.
King Zhennan was in the military formation, waving his riding whip quickly. At this moment, he had no time to think about what he would face after this battle.
But he knew that if he didn't escape quickly, this time, his head might be the most dazzling pearl in Jiang Yuhu's crown of immortal merit.
He turned his head and glanced at the Wudang Army chasing after him, with tears of blood dripping from his heart.
If you can still control the army, you will never come south again!
In front of Qingchuan Pass, silence returned soon.
The fighting from last night to the present, and the melee just now, were like a strong wind. After the wind passed by, it left a mess on the ground.
But Ying Rulong at the top of the city knew that the violent wind that was destined to sweep across the two countries had just begun to blow!
In the distance to the south, the advancing team slowly stopped. A captain of the Wudang Army Cavalry reined in his horse, raised his hand to a man in armor beside him and said: "The overall situation has been decided. I have to thank Grand Administrator Zheng for this time."
The man took off his helmet and smiled heroically: "The literati who has no power of chickens in this official can witness a amazing battle by himself. Got it!"
"Master Zheng said this!" None of the military school captain smiled. "You are not witnessed by yourself, you are personal participation! If you have no cooperation with you and you, we have a thousand cavalry in this area, How can I scare away the Beiliang Army at this critical moment! "
Zheng Tai was standing for a while, and immediately smiled, "So it is the official's greed!"
"No, everyone who knows soldiers knows the merit of Zheng. You can rest assured that when you wait for this time, I must be clear about the son, and I will also report to the court according to the court!"
Military merits were rare. Thinking of the possible rewards of the court, Zheng Taishou was inevitable that he was hot. He felt that he would not plan for himself. After a few days of wind meals, he immediately arched.
"You are polite! Then I will return to the city first. After the war, there are many things in the city, and the place is difficult to receive.
"You are polite, military affairs are tight!"
The captain of the Guan school rushed out for dozens of steps forward, and then dismissed together, bowing towards the civilians and ordinary people behind him, bowed together.
The Zheng Tai and the crowd behind him also returned to the gift.
In this grassland wind and sand, a touching scene is staged.
They are the significance of their bloody fighting, and they have never disappointed their expectations.

At the same time, a flying pigeon's wings just flew into Zhongjing City, which just flew into the Yanyan Prefecture Dajie Celebration Dinner last night.
Boulder enter the water and boil. (End of chapter)
