Xianren Pass is located in present-day Hui County, Gansu Province. The city is built on the mountain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. On this day, Wu Lin led the troops to Xianren Pass and met with the troops led by Tang Feng and Wu Jie.
Wu Lin reported to Tang Feng: "Reporting to General Tang, the day before yesterday Wanyan Wushu, the leader of the gold thieves, led the Jin army and the puppet Qi army tens of thousands of people to attack Monk Yuan. He led the army to resist for several days, but was finally outnumbered and ordered to retreat. The enemy army was very small. It is possible that they will follow you. Our army should make preparations in advance to prevent any unexpected events." Tang Feng said, "I understand, you can go and rest." After Wu Lin left, Tang Feng personally went to see the soldiers who had been evacuated from Monk Yuan. troops, send people to send the wounded for treatment, reorganize the soldiers who can still fight, and join the city defense troops to prepare for battle.
On this day, Wanyan Wushu led the army to set up camp at Xianren Pass. After settling the troops, Wanyan Wushu called the officer responsible for collecting intelligence and asked: "Who is the commander-in-chief of the Song Army at Xianren Pass?" The officer replied: " Report to Master Lang, according to the report of the detective horse, there is a flag of the Song Army commander on the tower of Xianrenguan, please write a letter
"General Pingxi, Tang" are several big characters. Wanyan Wushu said: "I understand, you go first." The next day, Wanyan Wushu ordered the attack. This time he learned his lesson and sent the Puppet Qi army with poor combat effectiveness and unsteady fighting will. Undertaken auxiliary tasks such as escorting grain and grass, and mobilized the main force of the Jin Army to the front line for combat.
The Jin soldiers carried ladders and shouted slogans to charge. Tang Feng ordered to shoot the Jin soldiers with three-bow crossbows. At the same time, he threw stones and torches to prevent the Jin army from attacking. Faced with such a situation, Wanyan Wushu had no skills. A good idea was to order the Jin army to be divided into several teams to attack in turns, leaving no breathing room for the Song army in order to achieve the final victory.
Under this situation, the Song army could only be divided into several teams, led by Tang Feng, Wu Jie, and Wu Lin respectively, and took turns to resist. The two sides were evenly matched and the fight was inextricable.
Early the next morning, Sa Lihe led a group of Jin troops to invade the city from the southeast corner of the city. But before they had time to rejoice, the Song troops in the city and the people who spontaneously organized to resist the Jin troops were on the roofs, throwing weapons at them. Stones and torches were thrown at them, and the Jin army was so bruised and swollen that they had no choice but to retreat outside the city.
Brief explanation: The Jin army failed to gain the upper hand after attacking for two days. Early on the third day, the Jin army began to retreat, and the Song army took advantage of the victory to pursue and regain Monk Yuan.
After the troops withdrew, Wanyan Wushu and Sa Lihe jointly submitted a memorial to the Emperor of Jin: Your Majesty, Monk Yuan, Raofeng Pass and Xianren Pass are all heavily guarded by Song troops. They cannot attack for a long time and our army cannot enter. Shu, I hope that your majesty will allow the ministers and others to lead their troops to turn elsewhere and look for other opportunities.
At this point, the Jin army's plan to enter Shu completely failed.
