Chapter 188: The Battle of Yijin Pass

. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

Fighting for another hour, but the unfavorable situation of the wolf rider has been slowly moved back by Jacob, and it has become a stalemate situation, which is not what Liu Feng wants, nor is it what Wu Ze wants to see, and Jacob does not want to let his sons and daughters consume it like this.

The end of such a war is hoped by both sides, and the sergeants on the battlefield are already exhausted and unwilling to fight again, so when the battlefield is about to stalemate again, Uze decisively gave the order to retreat, and Jacob has no power or intention to approach again.

The blood-soaked battlefield was only now stopped, except for the corpses in one place, the broken banners, and the exposed trap that the wolf rider hated so much, and then there was only a long sigh left for everyone.

Half a day of fierce battles, the wolf cavalry lost more than 2,000 yuan, and the wind wolf cavalry also lost hundreds, although such a result did not have much benefit to both sides, but the wind wolf cavalry was reckless in this battle, and gave the wolf cavalry a hard slap, so that the wolf cavalry also knew that in the northern land of the Han people, there were still cavalry troops who could fight with them.

The morale of the Khitan army, which had not even touched the city wall of Yijin Pass, also suffered a certain blow, and Yelushu and Yeluwu did not have a good way for a while, so they had to withdraw to the camp and discuss again.

When the Khitan and the others returned to the camp, without waiting for Yelushu to reprimand, Jacob knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, this battle is the fault of the ministers, and the ministers underestimated the Han cavalry, which led to heavy losses for the sons. ”

"Tomorrow, the last general is willing to make meritorious service to the crime, and vows to take this Yijin Pass in one fell swoop,"

When Yelushu entered the later stage of the war, he watched the duel between the Han cavalry and the wolf cavalry throughout the whole process, and it is fair to say that Jacob's command was remarkable, but it was too light on the enemy, and when he first entered the battlefield, he was calculated by the Han army everywhere.

He looked at Yijin Pass, which was entrenched in the mud trench, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Today's battle, if it is not the fault of the general, it is actually that the whole army is too light on the enemy, so there are some benefits to such a battle, and the children in the army know that the Han land is not all incompetent people." ”

Seeing that Yelushu did not pursue it, Jacob relieved himself a little, and then said: "Today, I will repair it, fix some key equipment, and start attacking the city tomorrow, and the minister should also carefully observe this Yijin Pass."

Although the Khitan army suffered a setback, it was a military power after all, and it did not let such a blow cause much damage to morale, so that the Khitan army aroused Ling Yi's thoughts, and he did not dare to be too reckless to fight against the Han army.

A calm and cautious enemy is undoubtedly powerful, not to mention a wolf rider with strong combat power, if Liu Feng knew that this battle would make the Khitan army change so much, what should he think in his heart.

At this time, Yelushu, Yeluwuqing, Jacob and others, after disguise, observed from a distance outside the city that this new pass, which had just been built for more than a year, Yijin Pass was in the hands of the Khitan, how dilapidated and dilapidated, not to mention, but at this time Yijin Pass was not the same as in the past, and the gray mud city wall did not even have a crack.

The more carefully observed, the more depressed the mood of the people, they deeply know the strength of the attack on the strong city, many years ago, the Khitan invaded on a large scale, besieged the Dragon City, besieged for three years, but did not capture the Dragon City, it can be seen that the city is strong for the Khitan lethality is still very sufficient.

The city wall is fifteen meters high, it is a fortress-like city wall, and the iron-wood gate is extremely strong to see, and there is a corner tower every ten meters, and the stone bullet is fired from here.

And the rugged and undulating trenches outside the city are even more irritating, which can be seen, as well as the invisible trap and the combat power of the defenders in the city.

Yelushu seemed to see Jacob's hesitation and worry, so he said slowly: "This Yijin Pass has not been built for a long time, there must be its omissions, as long as you look carefully, you will definitely find flaws,"

Jacob was not as optimistic as Yelushu, he was a cavalry general, and he was particularly unfamiliar with the siege battle, whether he could capture Yijin Pass, Jacob at this time did not have much hope, but today he has been, and he has to wait for the guilt to make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, although he was helpless in his heart, he still stubbornly chuckled, and said, "Try the battle again tomorrow and look for an opportunity to attack the city,"

After a night of silence, the next day, when the sky was dark, Jacob ordered five thousand wolf cavalry under his command to leave the camp and go straight to Yijin Pass, no matter what, he had to try.

The defenders on the Yijin Pass have long been in battle, and in response to the attack of the Khitan army, Zeng Yu and Guo Chongtao have made many plans at the request of Liu Feng, how to make response arrangements for different situations, and rehearse in advance.

Just like yesterday, after the wind wolf rode back to the city, Zeng Yu made an inspection, and after a brief arrangement, he was on duty at the city pass, and when the five thousand wolf horses came again, they did not alarm the defenders of the city, only the head of the battalion on duty went to deal with it.

Therefore, at this moment, everything is in order, even the Khitan army came to attack the city yesterday, and the little panic brought by it has dissipated, these are the merits of the rehearsal, in view of the various situations that can occur in the defense of the city, the sergeants in the camp in the north of Fanyang Mansion have participated in such a combat exercise, and at this moment, looking at the scenes that appeared in the exercise, they are not panicked, and they deal with it in an orderly manner.

The wolf riders led by Jacob are the elite wolf riders under his command, these wolf riders are much stronger than yesterday's wolf riders, this is the real elite of a hundred battles, and the evil spirit is so strong that the guards who are far above the city pass can detect it.

But when they saw their siege equipment, they all relaxed, dozens of long ladders spliced out of the Jingzhou battalion, and two crashed cars, and slowly moved forward under the impetus of more than 1,000 Jingzhou troops.

Zeng Rong, who was on duty, couldn't help but smile when he saw the wolf riding like this, just like the wolf riding such a device, I'm afraid that even Wu Fort can't be breached, not to mention the Yijin Pass where the city is strong and the soldiers are wide, however, although he looks down on the siege equipment of the wolf horse, but the military order cannot be violated, and he quickly issued an order to call the sergeants under his command to move.

No matter how the city is prepared, the actions of the wolf riders under the city are getting faster and faster, and the existence of the trench gives the wolf riders a great threat, so today's siege is fake, and filling the trench is real, this is what Jacob thinks.

In the mocking eyes of the defenders on the city pass, the wolf riders under the city also started their operations, filling cloth bags full of sand, mud and stones, and filling them in the trenches with war horses.

The speed of the rotation of horses made the defending sergeants on the city pass dumbfounded, this is the level of wolf riding, this is the combat power of wolf riding.
