Chapter 602: The reinforcements of the sword going sideways

In the past two days, Xijin Mansion has been extraordinarily quiet, and the two sides who originally fought to the death seem to have reached an agreement across the city, the Liao people do not attack, and the Song people do not go out of the city, so everyone is wasted like this.

The two sides naturally had their own small calculations, the Liao people planned to besiege Xijin Mansion to defeat the army that came to help, and the Great Song Dynasty was waiting for the good news of the Sixteen Guards......

Compared with the quietness of the front-line battlefield Xijin Mansion, Juyong Pass and Changping City can be regarded as in full swing, Yang Huaiyu led 80,000 people to approach Juyong Pass, and at the same time carried an amazing siege weapon artillery, which is a sharp weapon for attacking the city and pulling out the village, the Liao people in Juyong Pass did not have many garrisons, except for less than 10,000 people defending the city, there were no reinforcements.

Originally, Zhang Jian suggested that Yelu Zongzhen leave heavy troops to guard Juyong Pass, or transfer defenders from other parts of the Liao Dynasty, but Yelu Zongzhen and Xiao Hui agreed that the Song people's reinforcements would definitely send reinforcements to Xijin Mansion, after all, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was under their siege, and the Song people were not desperate to save each other?

But I can't imagine that the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty did not go to the King of Qin, but went directly to the back road of their retreat, Juyong Pass and Deshengkou and Changping were basically equivalent to undefended passes after the Liao Dynasty army left, how could the 160,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty not be able to take it?

The artillery roared and tore through the sturdy city wall of Juyongguan, which is also pitiful, Yang Huaiyu has 80,000 troops in his hands, but there are only two cannons, thinking about Cai Boyu's face, he felt that he should have beaten him up at that time, but there was really no way, who let the official family in Xijin Mansion......

In order to protect the lives of the soldiers to the greatest extent, Yang Huaiyu ordered his artillery to bombard the city wall of Juyongguan day and night, the barrel became red and even a little deformed after many shots, so he had no choice but to quickly cool it with water, fortunately it was early spring, and the temperature of the water was relatively low, so that the red barrel could be quickly cooled down.

Finally after a loud noise, the city wall of Juyong Pass collapsed in the frightened eyes of the Liao people, don't look at it is a small section, but in the eyes of the Liao people is an incredible thing, Juyong Pass is the world's Xiongguan, the city wall of the city is built of rammed earth and stones, needless to say, the degree of solidity is needless to say, I didn't expect to be smashed down by the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty......

With the fall of the city wall, the morale of the Liao defenders also quickly dissipated, and there were even deserters in Juyong Pass, which seriously affected the morale of the defenders of the Liao people, so when the 80,000 guards arrived at the city, the Liao people's combat effectiveness was almost negligible, and the resistance team was even more defeated with one blow.

The sixteen guards are not like the original Xiang army, the miscellaneous army used to accommodate the disaster victims has been abolished by Zhao Zhen himself, how can it be possible to get another one, the training and lifestyle of these sixteen guards are similar to the government military system in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but Zhao Zhen has absorbed the strengths and avoided the shortcomings.

The sixteen guards of the Great Song Dynasty were not in the center, but in the localities, and all the sixteen guards only had the right to train and not the right to transfer troops, and the assessment method of the generals was to take the results of their soldiers as the main assessment.

Thereupon...... The so-called generals of the Sixteen Guards became the captains of the Sixteen Guards...... When war came, the emperor's envoys would come with half a tiger talisman to transfer troops, so they gathered somewhere and waited for the emperor's appointed generals.

Although there are a bit of generals who don't know the soldiers, and the disadvantages of the soldiers who don't know the generals are among them, these sixteen guards are usually soldiers who have received the same training as the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and all kinds of tactics and cooperation are quite good, as for the time of the generals, that is the problem of the generals, that is to say, the current Yang Huaiyu is responsible for his own actions, and he can't shift the responsibility for the defeat to the soldiers......

After the city wall was blasted out of a gap, the soldiers of the sixteen guards began to move forward, the neat footsteps and formations beat like a drum beat in the hearts of the Liao people, the equipment of the sixteen guards and the forbidden army is basically the same, the front and back knives, the knife is a long Mo knife, raised and cut down, such as a mountain into the wall, as long as the Liao people who dare to block in front of the sixteen guards casually become shattered, even the war horses do not let go, and the people and horses are broken......

The equipment of the Sixteen Guards is not as good as that of the Forbidden Army, after all, they are equivalent to reserves and not active soldiers, so the armor they use is the full-body infantry armor that has been eliminated in the Forbidden Army, but even so it is not something that the crossbow arrows of the Liao people can easily penetrate, and the pure black armor allows the Sixteen Guards to form a black iron flow, which is directly killed through the gap in Juyong Pass.

For the peasant sons of the Sixteen Guards, every Liao person is a military merit, a reward received by the family, or a certificate for the reduction of taxes next year, how can it be cared if anyone surrenders at this time? As long as it is a Liao person, slaughtering all the way to the past, it is not considered a military merit to surrender prisoners in the Great Song Dynasty......

Most of these sixteen guards are new to the battlefield, and they usually train for a long time to exterminate the nearby bandits and the like, and now they are red-eyed, so can they be afraid? The hand that used to shake the ratchet became faster and faster, and the more people I killed, I got used to it.

What could be more important than military merit at this time?

So Yang Huaiyu and the soldiers on the side watched the sixteen guards of more than 80,000 people plough from this end of Juyong Pass to that end like an iron plough under the leadership of their eight generals, and slaughtered all the way as long as they encountered the Liao people who resisted.

Yang Huaiyu turned his head with difficulty and asked the veteran beside him, "Is this the sixteen guards commanded by General Ben?" How do I feel like His Majesty is commanding, these people are simply here according to His Majesty's rules! ”

The veteran smiled bitterly and returned: "Ahem...... The old slave said something unpleasant, whether these sixteen guards are the same with you or not, and the same is true for changing generals, they have formed their own fighting methods, and the task of the generals is to control. It is necessary to be able to collect and release freely, and use troops in a moderate ......"

Juyong Pass was ploughed back and forth twice by the Sixteen Guards, and there were basically not many living people, of course, there were still some Han people in the city, all of them were centrally guarded, and all the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards were responsible for eating, drinking, and Lazar.

Yang Huaiyu was very satisfied with the speed of capturing Juyong Pass, and began to order the soldiers to repair the city wall while taking Juyong Pass, and put the two only guns on the city wall......

Of course, Yang Huaiyu knew his role, and the official family sent him and Cao Wei to make a detour, only to live in Yongguan and Changping, in order to cut off the back road of the Liao.

Next is the test of Yang Huaiyu and these sixteen guards, once the Liao people find that the back road is broken, they will definitely send reinforcements, and Cao Wei will build the first line of defense after taking Changping City, once he can't withstand it, he will retreat to Juyong Pass where Yang Huaiyu is located, forming a second line of defense, the official family issued a strict order, if he and Cao Wei can't hold the last line of defense of Juyong Pass, they will be severely punished......
