Qingshiguan - located at the junction of Wanzhou and Yizhou. The surrounding mountains and terrain around Qingshiguan are steep and complex, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its location is also very important.
Since being defeated by the Datong Sect last time, Wang Shijie has led the remaining officers and soldiers here. Wang Shijie feels that as long as he can hold Qingshi Pass, the Datong Sect will not be able to go north and pose a threat to the capital. As for other things, he can only I can take a long-term approach.
After capturing Shangzhou, Datongjiao struck while the iron was hot and prepared to continue attacking Qingshi Pass. Immediately afterwards, the Great Celestial Master Bai Yuntian personally led an army of 200,000 to attack Qingshi Pass.
Datongjiao's 200,000 troops came to Qingshi Pass. Great Celestial Master Bai Yuntian looked at the former Qingshi Pass and frowned. The mountains around Qingshi Pass were steep and the terrain was complex and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Also, although the army failed last time, they still ran away. Many of the escaped officers and soldiers were in Qingshi Pass at this time.
This battle is definitely not easy to fight, but Qingshi Pass is the only way for the Datong Sect to go north. Only by taking Qingshi Pass can the Datong Sect go north, and only by going north can they have a chance to capture Xingzhong City, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, so Datong The Sect must occupy Qingshi Pass no matter what.
In Qingshi Pass, Wang Shijie did not panic at all when he saw the 200,000 troops of the Datong Sect coming. Although the last battle with the Datong Sect's army failed, there were still twelve officers and soldiers who ran to Qingshi Pass with Wang Shijie. With more than 10,000 people, Wang Shijie was very confident in guarding Qingshi Pass.
The Datong Sect began to attack Qingshi Pass. Wang Shijie led the army to resist bravely. In the next month, the Datong Sect continued to attack, but still failed to capture Qingshi Pass.
During this period, the Datong Sect also organized an elite force of tens of thousands of people. These people were the most loyal followers of the Datong Sect and were not afraid of death. The Datong Sect used this elite force to take the lead and launched a crazy attack on Qingshi Pass. attack.
This put a lot of pressure on the defenders of Qingshi Pass. However, under the leadership of Wang Shijie, the defenders of Qingshi Pass finally persisted. In the end, the Datong Sect had no choice but to give up attacking Qingshi Pass.
Since they could not conquer Qingshi Pass, the Datong Sect had no choice but to turn around and attack Jinzhou in the west. Soon after Jinzhou fell, the governor Tao Ye fled all the way to the capital. After learning the news, the imperial court felt that the Datong Sect had seriously threatened the rule of the Jin Dynasty and annihilated Datong. Teaching is imminent.
However, the 200,000 troops sent by the imperial court last time were defeated by the Datong Cult. The imperial court could not find any powerful generals to lead the troops for the time being. In the end, it could only place its hope on Wang Shijie again, so the imperial court quickly replenished Wang Shijie's troops. Two hundred thousand.
While replenishing Wang Shijie's troops, the imperial court also sent a supervisor named Liu Jin, who was a eunuch in the palace. Although Liu Jin was just a eunuch and knew nothing about military affairs, Liu Jin felt that Since the emperor asked him to be the supervisor, it meant that the emperor valued him very much, and he must not let the emperor down.
Wang Shijie saw that the court actually sent him a supervisor, which showed that the court no longer believed in him, but a eunuch knew what it meant to fight. Wang Shijie just hoped that Liu Jin would not cause trouble for him in the future.
Now that the troops have been replenished, they must continue to exterminate the Datong Sect. Wang Shijie feels that the Datong Sect is now at its peak, and the army should look for opportunities to fight and not act recklessly. The last failure is a good example.
However, as the supervisor of the army, Liu Jin disagreed with Wang Shijie's approach. Liu Jin felt that the army should fight quickly. As for the last failure, Liu Jin felt that it was entirely caused by the officers and soldiers being greedy for life and fear of death. The court now also wants to fight quickly. If the battle is decided quickly, I am afraid of long nights and many dreams.
Seeing that Liu Jin insisted on a quick victory, Wang Shijie became very angry. What did a eunuch know about fighting? Isn't this just adding chaos? Lieutenant General Li Baosheng asked Wang Shijie to ignore the eunuch Liu Jin, but Liu Jin was still a supervisor sent by the imperial court, and Wang Shijie had to take him seriously.
Liu Jin knew that the emperor now wanted to fight quickly, and he also wanted to end the battle quickly and return to the palace to enjoy peace and happiness. The conditions in the military camp were so bad that they could not be compared to the palace.
Liu Jin saw that Wang Shijie was unwilling to make a quick decision, so he finally had to move the emperor out. Liu Jin said that when he left the palace, the emperor had given instructions to Wang Shijie and the others to make a quick decision.
Wang Shijie also knew that the court wanted to fight quickly, but there was no need to rush into a war. But now that Liu Jin had moved the emperor out, he had to listen even if he didn't want to. In the end, Wang Shijie had no choice but to lead the soldiers to a decisive battle with the Datong Cult.
After learning that Wang Shijie was going to have another decisive battle with the Datong Cult, the Great Celestial Master Bai Yuntian was very happy. Bai Yuntian was afraid that Wang Shijie was hiding in Qingshi Pass and would not come out. Naturally, it would be easier to fight once he came out.
It didn't take long for the two sides to choose a place to start the decisive battle. The Datong Cult was very good at deceiving people and made many people willing to sacrifice their lives for it. Although Zhang Shijie led the officers and soldiers to fight desperately with the Datong Cult, they failed in the end.
Wang Shijie led the remaining defeated soldiers to prepare to escape back to Qingshi Pass again. When they arrived outside Qingshi Pass, Wang Shijie asked the supervisor Liu Jin to quickly open the city gate and let them in. Unexpectedly, Liu Jin did not open the door for him, and ordered Wang Shijie to take them with him. Kill the remaining people back,
Liu Jin felt that people like Wang Shijie failed because they were greedy for life and afraid of death. Only when their retreat was cut off could these people kill the enemy with all their strength. Liu Jin didn't know how terrible it would be to be defeated like a mountain.
No matter what Wang Shijie said, Liu Jin just refused to open the door for him. In the end, Wang Shijie could only let out a long sigh, and then led the remaining troops to fight back. The people of the Datong Sect were also shocked when they saw the fleeing officers and soldiers coming back. The faces were confused, but the two sides fought together again.
What was unexpected was that the officers and soldiers' crazy counterattack almost destroyed Datong. However, the officers and soldiers failed in the end. Wang Shijie and deputy general Li Baosheng were all killed on the battlefield.
In this battle, Datongjiao also suffered heavy casualties, but Bai Yuntian felt that it was worth it to eliminate such a powerful opponent like Wang Shijie. If Wang Shijie ran into Qingshi Pass like last time, it would be difficult to handle.
When he learned that Wang Shijie had died in battle, the supervisor Liu Jin was so frightened that he quickly fled back to the capital. After seeing the emperor, Liu Jin put all the responsibility for the failure on Wang Shijie. Anyway, Wang Shijie was dead, and a dead person would not argue with Liu Jin. For To make the emperor believe in himself even more, Liu Jin even broke his own head in advance.
Emperor Gao Xi felt pitiful when he saw Liu Jin crying in front of him, even having his head broken, so he didn't blame him too much. As for Wang Shijie and others who died in the battle, he had nothing to say. , now it is more important to quickly find a way to destroy the Datong Sect.
After eliminating Wang Shijie, the Datong Sect directly attacked Qingshi Pass. Qingshi Pass was quickly captured by the Datong Sect without Wang Shijie in command.
After capturing Qingshi Pass, the Datong Sect sent two armies of 100,000 troops each to attack Wanzhou and Yizhou respectively. Soon after, Wanzhou and Yizhou were also captured by the Datong Sect. As long as the Datong Sect captured Qingzhou again, You can go straight to Huanglong.
After the imperial court learned that the Datong Sect had captured Qingshi Pass, they successively captured Wanzhou and Yizhou. Now, as long as the Datong Sect captured Qingzhou, they could directly attack the capital. By then, the entire Jin Dynasty would be in danger. This court gathered 200,000 troops in Gyeongju.
Great Heavenly Master Bai Yuntian feels that with the current strength of the Datong Sect, conquering Qingzhou is not a problem at all. However, after conquering Qingzhou, although we can directly attack Huanglong, Tongzhou and Shanzhou, which are adjacent to the capital, will definitely send troops to reinforce Capital.
