I was very irritable at first, very irritable.
This is already the seventh day, and he is still stopped outside this damn horse-back pass!
God didn't seem to be on his side either.
Obviously, it only takes one day for this battered and scarred city wall to no longer be able to withstand the attacks of the warriors.
But who could have expected that it would snow heavily overnight!
Winter is coming too fast!
That damn Cao Tai ordered people to water the entire pass overnight, so when they were preparing to attack the next day.
What I saw was a city wall covered in ice!
The cold weather rebuilt a wall for this pass, which was strong and smooth.
The results of their four-day offensive were destroyed overnight.
This is not good weather for a war!
The constant falling snow will block the warriors' sight, and the cold weather will demoralize the warriors.
Snowflakes fell on the ground, and the half-melted mud made it difficult for the horse to charge.
Therefore, we could only endure it, suspend the attack, and wait for the snow to stop.
But what made him angry was.
In such weather, there were many rat-like teams, taking advantage of the heavy snow, coming from all directions to set fire to his camp.
They are not many in number, with less than a hundred people in each team, but they are brave and fearless of death.
They always come to harass them at night. When they encounter patrolling soldiers, they shoot a few arrows and run away.
If they were caught in a loophole in the night patrol, they would also set fire to it. They did not dare to go to the military camp where a large number of soldiers were stationed.
But in the place where logistics was specially reserved, in two days, dozens of trucks of food had been burned by them.
Although I captured several of their teams and killed them all, I still felt that I was at a loss.
In the end, I could only silently pray to Changshengtian to let this damn snowy day pass quickly.
The great Immortal God heard the prayers of his most loyal followers.
Today is a sunny day!
The city walls filled with water and frozen had begun to drip under the sunlight.
I would also like to bet that after being repeatedly frozen and thawed, the city wall has become some kind of food for the Ming Dynasty, like tofu!
All it takes is one charge and the wall will be breached.
I also felt a little pity in my heart.
He actually wanted to try some of the siege equipment that he had seized from the Ming army during the Battle of Tumu.
He waited for so many days and finally got it shipped, but now it’s no longer needed. It’s really a pity...
He also rode on his horse first and saw a man in light crimson robes standing on the city wall from a distance.
It's that damn Cao Tai!
He was still as disgusting as ever, with a mocking smile always hanging on his lips, which made Jean feel very unhappy at first.
He decided not to kill Cao Tai until he captured Daoma Pass.
He wanted this Cao Tai to follow him, watch him capture Dadu, and then hang his head on the gate of Dadu.
A loud horn sounded.
Countless Ora soldiers swarmed and quickly rushed to the city wall.
There was almost no resistance, which made Ye Xian feel a little confused.
boom!
A loud noise soared into the sky, accompanied by a raging fire, bursting out in front of Ye Xian.
It turned out to be gunpowder!
Damn it, aren't they afraid of blowing up their own walls?
Ye Xian howled angrily.
In the midst of the raging fire, he saw that damn guy Cao Tai.
He stood on the city wall, motionless, with a mocking smile on his face until he died!
The fire burned for a full hour, and I bet that there must be a lot of firewood and kerosene placed on the city wall.
But the fire also did not burn for long. When the fire was extinguished, countless cavalry charged in.
The pass that had blocked him for seven days was finally conquered!
"Kill, leave no one behind, no matter the people or the Ming army, kill them all!"
He first suppressed his urge to shout to the sky, and gave the order with a cruel smile.
However, the result is...
"Master, there is no one in the city!"
Also very depressed first.
These Ming troops, who claimed to fight to the death yesterday, actually ran away? ? ?
So the fire just now was not their last struggle at all, but just to buy time to escape?
After riding a horse across the pass, looking at the empty village, I felt depressed and wanted to scream to the sky.
He felt very bad, as if every step he took was expected by others.
For a moment, he even wondered if this heavy snowfall was also planned by someone...
Fortunately, he still has some sense.
How could the rain and snow be controlled by others? It was just his bad luck.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and gave the order to move forward again.
He has been delayed at this damn pass for too long.
Winter has arrived, and he must capture Zijingguan and retake Dadu before the next heavy snowfall!
…………
When Ye Xian's army marched towards Zijingguan.
Beijing, in the Qianqing Palace.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei made Lu Zhong stand with a bow.
"Your Majesty, Liaodong Army Report!"
Zhu Qiyu took a completely wax-sealed secret report from Lu Zhong, raised his hand to open it, took a deep breath, and then read it carefully.
After reading it, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but get up in excitement and said repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, Cheng Jing, the six ministries, seven ministers, and the ministers of the cabinet are waiting for summons at Wuying Hall. I have important matters to discuss with them!"
Seeing that the emperor was so happy, Cheng Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief and trotted out.
…………
Xuanfu.
Although he had achieved a great victory, Yang Hong still did not dare to be careless.
Alazhiyuan is not easy to deal with. Although there are only more than 4,000 people left, he now has elite soldiers in his hands.
Without the burden of wounded soldiers, the combat power of his four thousand men will only increase.
"My lord, Alazhiyuan has withdrawn its troops!"
Yang Xin hurriedly walked into the General Military Mansion with uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
Hearing this, Yang Honghuo stood up and said.
"Take me over and have a look."
The tall and solid city gate of Xuanfu was opened, and a cavalry team of hundreds of people roared out.
On the vast white grassland, a large area of dark land looked particularly eye-catching.
This place was originally where Alazhiyuan camped after returning from Longmen.
But now, it was completely empty, not even a single person was seen.
Yang Xin reined in the horse's head and said.
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief, it seems that the news from Commander-in-Chief Cao is true. This Alazhiyuan is in the same group as Tuotuo Buhua. As soon as the other side withdrew, the troops here also withdrew."
Yang Hong carefully checked the camp and after confirming that this was not a false shot by Alazhiyuan, a smile appeared on his old face and he spoke.
"Wang Jianzhai is indeed a great scholar of the country! If we win a big victory this time, I will definitely ask the imperial court for credit on his behalf!"
After saying that, a stern expression flashed across Old General Yang's face and he said.
"Yang Xin!"
"The general is here!"
"I order you to lead Liaodong to support five thousand elite troops, and Xuanfu's own army of three thousand, to attack throughout the night, to recapture Yanghe Pass before dawn the day after tomorrow, and to block Ye Xian's logistics team."
The young general looked excited and clasped his fists.
"The last general has taken the order and will definitely live up to the expectations of the Commander-in-Chief."
Yang Hong nodded and said.
