Two days later, Shanhaiguan.
At the beginning of the morning, the golden glow of Wandao dyed the earth inside and outside the city with a layer of gold.
When the sky was bright, more than 2,000 Shanhaiguan troops had already lined up along the front line of the city, waiting for the battle, looking at the direction of the west avenue with anxiety.
Wu Sangui also stood with his knife in his hand, looking at the west with an arrogant and calm face, but his clenched fists were hot, and unconsciously, he had already soaked out the sweat stains of his palm.
Suddenly, Wu Sangui's eyes gathered, and his nerves immediately tensed.
On the west avenue, at the end of heaven and earth, a thin black line slowly rises from below the horizon, becoming thicker and thicker, like the sea at high tide, rolling over.
Finally, the black line revealed its true face.
It was a battle banner that covered the sky, an endless number of soldiers, blades as dense as a forest, and iron horses like a rolling torrent.
200,000 Wei troops came overwhelmingly
The most dazzling "Wei" character imperial flag, flying in front, arrogant, leading the Great Wei soldiers, slowly approaching.
At the front of the team, under the giant flag, the potter sat on the crotch of the red rabbit horse, holding the green dragon sword, the golden armor reflected the dazzling golden light under the light of the morning glow, and the golden cloak, like a golden flame, was flying behind the hunt.
He walked in front of him like a god, and the eyes of the 200,000 soldiers behind him were full of worship and awe.
The rainbow-like morale, the determination to win, as if they firmly believed that the emperor they followed was a true dragon descending to earth, fighting for him, and he would win undefeated.
Under the morning light, the potters led an army of 200,000 and marched more than 300 steps in front of the city.
Head of the city.
The Wei army had not yet attacked the city, and just more than 200,000 people stood in front of the city, and the black pressure was boundless, filling all the blanks.
The kind of dense feeling that makes the scalp tingle, the kind of silence of tens of millions of people, the neatness of breathing together, the sense of oppression, just one glance, before the siege of the city, has already made the Shanhaiguan army at the head of the city tremble, and both legs are played.
Even Wu Sangui gasped, and there was a burst of hair on his back.
"General, I didn't expect there to be so many Wei troops, look at this formation, I'm afraid that we may not be able to stop it, it's better to abandon Shanhaiguan, retreat to the east, and go directly to Wanyan Dadanyu."
Qin Hui was immediately stunned by the Wei army's formation, his face was pale, and even his voice was hoarse and trembling.
Wu Sangui's heart was shocked, and for a moment, he did have the intention of escaping, and his previous bold words were about to be forgotten.
At this time, Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "General Wu, don't abandon the city and flee, we want to get the weight of Wanyan Dadanyu, just rely on this Shanhaiguan, if the general just abandons the city and flees, and goes to defect, then it is nothing to Wanyan Dadanyu, how will the general gain a foothold in the future!" โ
Wake up with a word.
Wu Sangui shuddered violently, and only then did he remember that the reason why he was able to take the lead at both ends of the rat before, and get the official promise of Wanyan Aguta and the pottery merchant respectively, was to rely on the throat of Shanhaiguan.
And Wanyan Aguta, the reason why he was named the king of Pingxi was because he valued him for holding the mountains and seas, otherwise, he would not even be a fart.
Wu Sangui, who woke up, glared at Qin Hui fiercely and scolded: "You almost missed my big event, get out of the way!" โ
Qin Hui was reprimanded in public, choked on the ash of his nose, and was embarrassed, so he had to retreat aside, not daring to squeak again.
Wu Sangui turned his head, looked at the Wei army proudly, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "I, Wu Sangui's brothers, cheer me up, we have the first pass in the world, even if Wei has a million army, I don't want to break it, as long as you can help me defend Shanhaiguan, when the time comes, the glory and wealth will definitely be indispensable to you, give me blood!" โ
Splendor!
These four words, like a needle of chicken blood, hit the bodies of more than 2,000 Shanhaiguan troops, and suddenly aroused their remaining fighting spirit, and one by one they barely cheered up and clenched the knives and guns in their hands.
Wu Sangui also rekindled his fighting spirit, pointed at the potter's place, and shouted arrogantly: "Potter, if you dare to let the horse attack, Lao Tzu, I will let you see how indestructible my Shanhaiguan is!" โ
As soon as Wu Sangui shouted like this, Li Zicheng beside him also raised his arms and shouted, and the rest of the soldiers and soldiers also shouted.
For a time, the first line of the city, arrogant shouts, one after another.
Three hundred steps away, the Wei army was in the middle of the army.
The potter immediately crossed his sword, standing proudly, facing the clamor of the enemy of Guancheng, just sneering disdainfully, as if he was enjoying the unbearable performance of a group of clowns jumping off the beam.
"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui is very crazy!" Guan Xiaotong, who was beside him, scolded indignantly.
Guan Yinping said: "Then Wu Sangui is also crazy, the southeast of this Shanhaiguan is the sea, the northwest is the mountain, sandwiched between the mountains and the sea, the city wall is high and thick, more majestic and dangerous than Tongguan, we want to forcibly take it, but I'm afraid it's really not easy." โ
The potter snorted coldly and said proudly: "A few months ago, this Shanhaiguan was indeed a difficult pass for me, but today, in my eyes, it is just a void!" โ
"In my opinion, Your Majesty should not be too confident." Guan Yinping was worried about the confidence of the potter.
"Whether I'm too confident or determined to win, you just have to wait to see a good show."
The potter smiled faintly, raised the green dragon knife in his hand, pointed towards the city, and shouted: "Beat the drums, the whole army will attack the city, and raze the Shanhaiguan to the ground for me!" โ
Tom Tom Tom โ
Tom Tom Tom โ
The rumbling sound of war drums rose into the sky, shattering the silence of the early morning.
The boundless military array of the Wei army began to stir, with tens of thousands of soldiers, large and small, countless iron formations, carrying the momentum of the sky and the earth cracking, forcing the city towards Shanhaiguan.
Yue Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Luo Cheng and other generals each urged their headquarters soldiers and horses to force towards the enemy city like a tide.
With the approach of the Wei army, the geographical advantage of Shanhaiguan was finally revealed.
This Shanhaiguan is built in the narrowest part of the Liaodong Corridor, the vast sea in the east, the towering mountains in the west, the closer to Shanhaiguan, the narrower the terrain in front of the pass.
When the tide of Wei troops approached more than 70 steps in front of the city, the width in front of the pass was less than 200 steps.
The distance of more than 200 steps is at most enough to invest more than 5,000 people at one time, so although the Wei army is many, the actual number of soldiers and horses that can be used to attack the city at the same time is only twice as much as the enemy's army.
The geographical advantages of Shanhaiguan have finally been revealed.
Wu Sangui relied on his geographical advantage, on the one hand, he ordered the crossbowmen to desperately release arrows to block the approach of the Wei army, and on the other hand, he ran along the front line of the city, suppressed the army's morale, and prepared to meet the Wei army's melee battle in the city.
Even if the terrain is narrow, the Wei army is still fighting like a rainbow and the offensive is like a tide.
Tens of thousands of crossbowmen frantically unleashed sharp arrows at the city, and the rain of arrows like a net of heaven and earth crushed the enemy army at the head of the city.
Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the infantry siege team quickly filled the moat, erected hundreds of ladders, and thousands of Wei soldiers climbed desperately towards the city.
Wu Sangui could only scold his soldiers, withstand the rain of arrows of the Wei army, fight desperately, and throw countless flying stones and sassholes at the Wei army that ascended the city.
Although the Wei army's offensive was fierce, although the soldiers forgot to die, but the Shanhaiguan was too high, and the number of people who could be put into the siege was also limited, and it failed to form an overwhelming advantage over the two thousand enemy soldiers, and the siege lasted for a long time, paying more than 1,000 dead and wounded, but no one could successfully climb the city.
Seeing that the Wei army's offensive was suppressed, Wu Sangui finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the imperial flag with the word "Wei" in the distance, and a sarcastic sneer rose on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, we can't attack the city like this, why don't you bombard the city with heavenly thunder first, and why don't you break the city gate directly through the angry city hammer?" Guan Yinping reminded worriedly.
"There's no need for dragon rage, because I already have a stronger weapon to break the door......," a smirk rose into the corner of the potter's mouth.
A stronger goal-breaking weapon?
Guan Yinping looked dazed, and couldn't hear the meaning of the pottery merchant's words for a while.
At this moment, the potter had already shouted: "Where is Li Cunxiao!" โ
"The minister is here!" Li Cunxiao, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward angrily.
The pottery merchant pointed at the enemy city and said sharply: "Li Cunxiao, it's time for you to perform, and break through the gate of Shanhaiguan for me." โ
"Go to the minister!" Li Cunxiao received the order angrily, turned his horse out of the battle, and went straight to the gate of Shanhaiguan.
Li Cunxiao rode like the wind, holding the Yu Wang lance in his hand, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" โ
The Wei soldiers along the way, who dared to block his way, all opened like waves, and a road was divided among the ten thousand armies, leading directly to the city gate.
In Li Cunxiao's hand, the Yuwang lance was raised high, like a black hurricane, through a distance of two hundred steps, and went straight to the city gate.
At the head of the city, Wu Sangui, who was complacent, suddenly saw the Wei army on the front line of the city gate parting like waves, and saw a member of the Wei army single-handedly crashing towards the city gate, as if he was going to rely on his own strength to hit the city gate, and he couldn't help but be surprised and his eyes widened.
"What does he want to do?"
