Yingqingguan.
This Xiongguan was built on the main road connecting the north and south of Yingqing Prefecture.
Because the Mongolian Yuan people blocked the trade of grain, salt, iron ore and other bulk goods in Wu Nian. This pass is usually closed, and no merchants or travelers are allowed to pass through.
Puguli personally sits in the pass and practices martial arts very diligently. The captains under his command trained the Meng Yuan soldiers to the point of ecstasy.
The Mongolian soldiers of seven thousand captains are very powerful in combat.
Following Puguli's order, the soldiers became energetic and began to carry defensive materials to the wall. Arrows, stones, wood, oil pans, etc. were piled up in mountains.
The entire pass is like a hedgehog with explosive hair, waiting for the Liaodong tiger to plunge in.
Puguli put on his armor, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, and led dozens of soldiers to inspect the wall. He looked at the mountains of defensive materials and the energetic and high-morale Meng Yuan war. soldiers.
There was a look of satisfaction on his face, and he turned around and said to the soldiers beside him: "With such a pass and such soldiers, why worry about not being able to kill the Liaodong tiger?"
"Go down with the order. Let the Huotou Army kill pigs and sheep, bring out the wine, and reward the soldiers in the evening."
"yes."
The soldiers held their heads high, their faces red, and their morale was sky-high.
unconsciously. Jin Huanshan has been dead for a long time, and the defeat and decadence of the Meng Yuan soldiers have also dissipated.
Now it's arrogant again.
Two days later.
morning.
The autumn mood is high and the breeze is gentle.
A huge army formed a long dragon and headed north. The team is clearly divided into two teams, front and rear, and is further subdivided into ten teams.
The flags of "Wang", "Zhang" and other generals are listed in front and behind. The flags of the remaining Qianhu households are carried by the flag bearer of the team.
The flags are continuous and powerful.
Front part.
There are two large banners of "Wu" and "Yanhan", which makes the banner with the word "Wang" look a bit small.
Wu Nian was wearing armor and a scarlet cloak, sitting astride a Liaodong maroon war horse, and riding with Wang Gui.
"General. Black Bear Valley is ahead." A middle-aged man dressed as a hunter and walking with the army said to Wu Nian.
He is a guide in the army.
And Black Bear Valley. Located in the south of Yingqing Pass, the two are very close. It is a very suitable place to set up camp. There is no suitable place further forward.
"Let Zhang Sheng be responsible for setting up camp. Wang Gui. Pull out the heavy armor and heavy ax soldiers from Qianhu, five spearmen from Baihu, and the archers from five Baihu. Let's go to Yingqing Pass to challenge."
Wu Nian raised the riding whip in his hand and ordered.
"yes."
Wang Gui and the soldiers responsible for delivering the order responded in unison and went down to do their work. Shortly after. Wu Nian and Wang Gui led two thousand soldiers, abandoned their baggage, and fought towards Yingqing Pass.
"It's true that one man can't stop ten thousand people."
Three hundred steps away from Yingqing Pass, Wu Nian sat on his horse, looked at Yingqing Pass, and let out a sigh of relief.
He also walked along this road when he attacked Ya County and Chong County last time. But there was no Yingqing Pass at that time.
Now this pass stands between two mountains. The length of the city wall in front is very short, only about 150 meters.
In this way, the stress-bearing area of the pass is very small.
And let alone one soldier of ten thousand households, even if he had ten thousand households of soldiers, he wouldn't be able to use his strength.
The existence of this pass.
Just like when he confronted Jin Huanshan at Beishan Fort, the situation was the same.
But now Puguli has an advantage, because there is only one force-bearing surface at Yingqing Pass, and Puguli's strength is seven thousand captains.
A strong frontal attack will not be able to defeat this pass for ten years.
"It really took thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river. The Meng Yuan people learned my method and made a turtle." Wu Changzhang sighed with a complicated mood.
However, no matter how majestic the pass is, it will collapse.
Puguli is a weakness.
This guy has a bad temper.
"Get ready to fight." Wu Nian turned his head and told Wang Gui. Then he rode forward alone, came to a place outside the effective shooting range of the opponent's archers, and stood up.
Wu Nian's move attracted the attention of the defenders on the city. But it didn't cause much commotion. After all, he was a Mongolian soldier. How could he be afraid of someone?
"Who is this guy?"
"I don't know. But looking at him wearing armor and riding a horse, he should be at least a hundred households. Is he here to declare a war? Or is he a messenger?"
"No. It can't be an envoy. Wu Nian once threatened that he would never exchange envoys with us Mongolian people."
The soldiers looked at it, pointing and talking.
The answer was soon revealed.
The place where Wu Nian stood on horseback was beyond the effective shooting range of the Meng Yuan bow archers on the pass. Even if the archers could shoot arrows in front of Wu Nian, they were considered excellent.
But for Wu Nian, it was easy to shoot arrows up the pass from here.
"call!"
Wu Nian took a few deep breaths and adjusted his breathing. Then he took out the red bow from behind the horse, and took out the arrow with the letter tied to the arrow, and took aim.
"What is he going to do? Is he going to shoot the arrow from such a long distance?"
"This is impossible. This is at least two hundred steps away. Very few people have such great strength and can shoot such a powerful bow. Unless the person in front of me is the Liaodong Tiger himself."
"Even the Liaodong Tiger himself would be hard-pressed to shoot an arrow from two hundred steps away, right?"
The Mongolian and Yuan soldiers on the pass were all shocked and talked a lot.
Wu Nian is not just posing. His eyes are like those of an eagle, his bow is rounded, and he is powerful.
With a "swish" sound, the black arrow shot towards Yingqing Pass like lightning.
Not only did the arrow shoot up, but it also had some remaining power.
A "ding" sound. The arrow wrapped in the letter was inserted into the pillar on the right side of the city gate tower. Although it was not inserted very deeply, it was really inserted.
"hiss!!!!"
All the Meng Yuan soldiers on the city took a breath of cold air, and then their expressions changed drastically. Some soldiers even broke out in cold sweat.
Really cumming.
How strong is the draw force of this bow?
The man holding the bow is probably the Liaodong Tiger himself.
Drawing the bow two hundred steps away still has such power. The Liaodong Tigers indeed live up to their reputation.
"Hey."
Wu Nian smiled and calmly put the bow back on the horse's back. He shouted loudly: "People in the city, listen. This is a declaration of war. If Puguli still considers himself an enemy of ten thousand people, come out and fight me to the death."
"Otherwise. He's a turtle."
After that, Wu Nian pulled the reins of his horse and galloped back to the military formation.
Wu Nian's voice was very loud, echoing and roaring around the mountains, with overwhelming momentum.
"The General is mighty!!!"
"The General is mighty!!!"
Wu Nian's two Qianhu soldiers were all greatly boosted in morale. They raised their weapons in unison and shouted loudly.
Wu Nian only had one arrow.
Then he showed his true colors as a hero.
