However, Zu Junyan's every move had already been watched by Luo Shixin, who rushed up later. But he was far away from Zu Junyan and didn't have time to go to the rescue.

Seeing that Song Jingang, who was still unaware, was about to be killed, Luo Shixin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, remembering the situation when Yuming used to throw a javelin to kill the enemy.

He immediately clenched the spear in his hand, used all his strength to feed, and threw it at Zu Junyan with all his might.

"Whew!"

The spear slashed through the sky like a sharp arrow, and flew towards Zu Junyan's back with lightning speed......

"Poof!" With a bang, the spear finally hit Zu Junyan accurately.

Zu Junyan didn't even have time to scream before he was pierced through his chest by a spear, and blood flowed out of the barrel of the spear like a spring, dripping on the placket of his clothes.

At this time, he still looked at the protruding tip of the gun on his chest with a look of surprise and disbelief, as if he didn't expect that he would die like this.

When Zu Junyan's body fell from the city wall, those Wei soldiers who were still resisting saw this scene, and they all stopped fighting in amazement, with an expression of disbelief and horror on their faces.

All the people in the Zhou and Wei armies who saw this scene stopped shouting together, and there was silence all around, only the people on the periphery were still fighting desperately.

A moment later, a burst of cheers erupted from the Chinese side of the Zhou army's formation, and their morale was like a rainbow, like a tiger descending from a mountain, and they launched a tidal attack on the defenders of the pass.

At this moment, the Wei army on the Jindi Pass saw that the main general was killed in battle, and their morale suddenly fell to the lowest point. Their strength was already at a disadvantage, and the quality of their soldiers and equipment and weapons were inferior to those of the Zhou army. Now that the main general has died in battle, all of them have no fighting spirit, and they are defeated as soon as they engage in battle.

Zu Junyan's lieutenant is still resisting. He drew his sword and successively slashed the retreating Wei soldiers, and shouted: "Don't escape!" Those who retreat from the battle are slashed! ”

However, at this moment, only a "whoosh" sound was heard.

A wolf's tooth arrow burst through the air, and with a cold light, it pierced through the throat of the pair, and out of the back of the head. There was a stream of blood on the tip of the sharp arrow.

Zu Junyan's lieutenant's right arm holding the knife suddenly hung down, his five fingers involuntarily released, and the big knife fell to the ground with a "clang", and then his body shook and fell to the ground and died.

And under the city more than seventy zhang away, Yu Ming just put away his sun-shooting divine bow, and sneered: "Those who dare to resist until now will be killed!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The soldiers of the Zhou army fought bravely into the city, and then, under the leadership of Song Jingang, took control of the east gate.

"Open and close! Welcome King Zhou into the customs! ”

With Song Jingang's order, dozens of Zhou soldiers swarmed up and began to turn the winch of the bolt of the city gate, raising the city gate.

"Squeak crunch!"

With the cacophony of metal grinding, the heavy iron door slowly rose. The gates of the Golden Causeway Pass were finally opened.

Yu Ming pointed the spear in his hand forward, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen were already gearing up, just waiting to charge.

When they saw that the gate had been opened, they immediately rushed towards the Jindi Pass like a storm and clouds under the leadership of Luo Shixin, and poured into the city gate like a tide.

The horses of the Zhou cavalry made a deafening rumble, the earth trembled, the Xiongguan groaned, and the enemy was crying......

The cold killing machine flashed in the eyes of the Zhou cavalry, and the long cavalry spear and sharp saber had been raised, and the tip of the spear and the light of the knife reflected the cold sky. The breath of death roared with the trampling of the iron hooves of the Zhou army, and a brutal massacre began.

The defenders of Jindi Pass were immediately defeated, but in an hour's effort, they were killed and wounded, except for the rest of the soldiers who ran fast, snatched their horses and fled from the west gate, and the rest were either dead or surrendered. This world-famous Xiongguan fell into the hands of the Zhou army.

……

When Yu Ming, accompanied by Hu Sizheng, rode into Jindi Pass, everything had already settled, and this world-famous Xiongguan had fallen into his hands.

This is a real head-to-head confrontation with Li Mi. Although he had led his army to sweep through the entire Huaibei before, he did not fight much, and the enemy surrendered one after another.

Although the enemy's forces were weak, they resisted stubbornly to the end from top to bottom. The Zhou army did win, but it was not easy to win. If it weren't for his own impromptu idea, he thought of building this giant siege ladder, but I was afraid that it would take time to take the Golden Causeway Pass.

However, before Li Mi's main force returned to help, the occupation of Jindi Pass did make Yuming breathe a sigh of relief, and now Xingyang, Liyang, Luokou, Huiluo and other important places are exposed to the iron hooves of the Zhou army, so that his strategic room for maneuver is much larger.

Now he can attack and retreat. As long as he can defeat Li Mi's main force of the Wei army again, then he can occupy the important places in the Central Plains without dispute and lay a solid foundation for the struggle for world domination.

And just as Yuming was about to enter the city guard's mansion, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves of "got, got, go", and a knight was hurrying in from the west gate.

Luo Shixin recognized that this was the scout he sent to the west to inquire about the news after conquering the Jindi Pass.

At this time, the scout ran to Yu Ming, then turned over and dismounted, and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, his subordinates have found the cavalry of the Wei army one mile west of Jindi Pass!" There are about more than 10,000 people. ”

"Li Mi came so fast!" Yu Ming was taken aback.

However, he was also glad in his heart, secretly thinking that if he let these 10,000 cavalry enter the Jindi Pass, it would be difficult for his side to break through. Even if you build this siege ladder yourself, the enemy can send cavalry out of the city and destroy it from the ground. Although he can also send troops to fight him, and he may be able to conquer Jindi Pass in the end, the casualties will be very large.

Moreover, if he can't attack for a long time, and he has been delayed for a long time under the Jindi Pass, and when the main force of Li Mi's 100,000 army returns to the division, then it is really difficult to predict whether he can defeat Li Mi, who occupies the right time and place.

Hu Sizheng listened to the scout's report at this time, but his eyes lit up and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhou, Li Mi must be worried about the loss of Jindi Pass, so he sent 10,000 cavalry to rush to support. If our army conquers Jindi Pass one day later, I am afraid that these 10,000 cavalry will be able to merge with Zu Junyan. But fortunately, it only took us one day to conquer this Xiongguan, so the enemy's reinforcements were in vain!"

Yu Ming also smiled slightly at this moment: "Judging from the actions of the enemy's cavalry, they are afraid that they don't know that Jindi Pass has fallen. We will continue to make persistent efforts, send troops to attack the camp at night, and then eat Li Mi's 10,000 cavalry in one bite! Give this Pushan Gong a heavy blow! ”

"Your Highness is wise! The subordinates think the same! Hu Sizheng also showed a knowing smile at this moment.

……

Dusk in late spring always comes quickly, before the moisture evaporated by the sun in the wilderness dissipates. The sun fell into the hill. So, the wind on the plains, with a heavy coolness, drove away the white mist, and wandered around; And the shadow of the dark clouds fell on the village more quickly, and the shadows grew thicker and thicker, and gradually blended with the night, but soon they were again silver-gray by the moon.

Walking on the wasteland west of Jindi Pass, looking at the panting cavalry around him, Wang Bodang was also angry.

After conquering the Tiger Prison Pass, he originally wanted to rest for a few days, but because of Xu Shiji's words, he was hurriedly sent by Li Mi to help Jindi Pass. He was ten thousand reluctant in his heart.

However, this is a decision made by the King of Wei, even if he is Li Mi's most trusted general, he does not dare to disobey it, and can only implement it to the letter. However, after setting off, he scolded the annoying Xu Shiji.

"Jindi Pass is guarded by a whole army of 10,000 troops, although the number of troops is a little less, but the wall is high and thick, and Zu Junyan is also a general who can fight well, what else is there to worry about this Xu Shiji? Even if the Zhou army can't be defeated, it will be at least ten days and a half months before it is lost. There is no need for me to set off overnight and rush over on a march! ”

Wang Bodang thought hatefully: "It must be Xu Shiji, this guy, who wants to earn a performance in front of King Wei to prove how worried he is about the front-line war...... It's just that I made this pad ......."

"Humph! Won't I get some rest after I leave? Xu Shiji asked me to march overnight, but I didn't want to be old. Let the soldiers recharge their batteries at night! How can you win a battle without resting? Wang Bodang made an excuse for himself.

Originally, he could have rushed to Jindiguan overnight, but then he thought about it and hurried over, and it was late at night. The Wei army in the pass must have slept a long time ago, and Zu Junyan's guy didn't have such good confidence, so he arranged food and lodging for them overnight, and it would definitely be delayed until the next day.

But since it would take the day of the next day to arrange food, lodging, and defense deployment anyway, it was better to simply set up camp in the wilderness and go back to the next morning.

Wang Bodang's arrangement is not wrong in theory, because it is his own territory, and he does not have to worry about the enemy's sneak attack. But he didn't expect that Jindi Pass would be broken by the Zhou army so quickly. And Yuming has already sent people and horses to approach them silently.

"Daniel Zhang, how far are we from Jindi Pass now?" Wang Bodang asked the lieutenant general beside him.

The adjutant general named Daniel Zhang was also an old man who had joined since the establishment of Wagangzhai. Although he is Zhai Rang's old subordinate, in the decision between Li Mi and Zhai Rang, he chose this Pushan Gong who is favored by most people. Therefore, after Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, he promoted him from an ordinary small leader to an Asian general, and served as a deputy general in the cavalry team that rushed to aid Jindi Pass. It shows the importance attached to him.

"General Wang, we are only eighty miles away from Jindi Pass, if we speed up the journey, we will be able to arrive before noon tomorrow." Daniel Zhang replied.

In fact, he wanted to persuade Wang Bodang to rush overnight, and according to the marching speed of the light cavalry, he should be able to reach Jindi Pass tonight. He wanted to enter the city as soon as possible, so that something could happen later. But when he saw that Uncle Wang looked like he owed his debts and did not return them, he knew that he was unwilling to rush overnight, so he had to retreat.
