Yanmen Pass is known as the first dangerous pass in the world, and naturally has its unique defensive geographical location, as well as the defensive wall that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As the outline of Yanmen Pass entered the sight of Ye Qing and others, the two hundred or so people who were already slightly tired looked at the majestic and majestic Yanmen Pass city wall, and couldn't help but gasp under the slanting sun.

The ice-covered Yanmen Pass has a unique beauty and heaviness, even if they are still a long way away from the Yanmen Pass now, but the tall city walls and beacon towers that stretch along with the mountains, as well as the enemy towers above the city gate, are already in full view, and from time to time they can see the bright light reflected by the weapons on the city wall, which gives Ye Qing and the others a huge pressure on their faces.

Wanting to tackle the problem with 3,000 people and Xu Han's 10,000 people, Ye Qing suddenly felt that he was a little whimsical at this moment?

The slippery road was not suitable for horses at all, and the V-shaped mountain path was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, a narrow road that could accommodate an ox cart to pass through, and the army could not form a formation to pass through, let alone reach the thick city walls.

And as they continued on, even the old oxen of the pack cart began to moo laboriously, and the heavy wheels sank into the slippery snow, and the extremely long gentle slope that could exhaust the oxen was a great test of endurance for both men and animals.

The complex terrain and mountain road in front of him, or the terrain of Yanmen Pass facing south, pushing the skidding ox cart with others to move forward, Ye Qing still can't imagine that the side of Yanmen Pass facing the north, how complex and dangerous the terrain should be?

It is said that in the direction facing the north, in order to prevent the herdsmen's cavalry from passing through easily, no less than 30 large and small stone walls were set up on the complex and steep mountain roads, so as to block the advantage of the herdsmen's cavalry in the speed of attacking before the pass.

The entire Yanmen Pass is like a small city, the east and west city gates are relatively gentle, and the city gates are relatively spacious compared to the north and south city gates, but even so, when the east city gate is opened, Ye Qing and they are still hundreds of steps away from the city gate.

Perhaps it was because of the heavy snow that closed the mountain for several days, so the Jin people who guarded Yanmen Pass did not suspect the identity of Ye Qing and others when they saw the convoy of grain and grass transported from the bottom of the mountain.

The road guide and waist cards snatched from the hands of those real people, after the Jin generals looked through them randomly, and then began to order the Jin soldiers who ran out to meet the supplies together, and helped pull many ox carts into the Yanmen Pass.

Ye Qing and others, dressed as civilians, followed the guards and led the ox cart into the Yanmen Pass so easily, and then under the leadership of Jin Bing, they bypassed the training ground and barracks and went further to the southeast, but before that, the wine and meat on the ox cart had been unloaded by the Jin guards.

Ye Qing watched the guard's skillful order to move his subordinates, but he stood aside and didn't dare to say much, until he waved his hand, and then took a few ox carts that had been intercepted and chased after the convoy that had already walked away.

And when the ox carts finally stopped in front of the house and the so-called warehouse, Ye Qing and the others had the opportunity to look at the Yanmen Pass, which haunted him.

Yanmen Pass is obviously not the only Yanmen pass, there are also two military passes on its east and west sides, relying on the city wall and the castle to connect together, thus forming a city with a circumference of more than 20 miles.

Now Ye Qing and the others are still located on the periphery of Yanmen Pass, and there is still a lot of distance from the real defense core of Yanmen Pass, but it can also be seen from this that this place is obviously like a logistics point for the Jin people, supporting all the fortifications in front of them.

As the slanting sun gradually sank into the distant mountain peaks, the grain and grass materials on dozens of ox carts were all unloaded, and when Ye Qing was about to go to Shou Li to handle the handover paperwork again, a sneaky guy ran straight into Ye Qing.

Ye Qing, who just wanted to dodge in his first reaction, was stunned for a moment and chose to stand still, and just when the guy with his head down was about to bump into him, he suddenly raised his head, and Dong Chao, who was full of beard, looked at Ye Qing with a shocked face, smiled slightly and said, "I'll take you to go through the handover procedures." ”

Ye Qing nodded quietly, bent down and patted the robe that had already been soaked all the way, explained a few words to the soldiers, and motioned for them to drive the ox cart to the place designated by the Jin people, and then left with Dong Chao.

There are not many Jin people guarding here, and it is obvious that to this day, the Jin people in Yanmen Pass do not know that Taiyuan Mansion has been lost, so the focus of their defense is still in the direction of the north.

It was already dark, and Ye Qing, who had been a little apprehensive, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked after looking at the people around, "Why did you become a partner here?" ”

"My lord, it's a long story, so I'll make a long story short." Dong Chao touched his beard and began to say: "Since the snow, I rushed over from Shuozhou, and once it snows outside Yanmen Pass, it is almost impossible to rely on external forces alone, so I mixed in, hoping to be able to cooperate with the outside." ”

"Where is Wan Yanzhang? How many of you are in this Yanmen Pass now? Ye Qing nodded silently, along the way, he had also deeply realized that Yanmen Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Dong Chao had been in this area for many years, so he was naturally more familiar with everything than him.

"Wan Yanzhang is in the middle of the military camp in front, here is just a symbolic guard, through the front of a few city gates, and then about two miles forward, it can be regarded as really entering the hinterland of Yanmen Pass, and almost all the Jin soldiers are gathered there, so that whether it is the south or the north to find the enemy, they can rush over at the first time." At night, Dong Chao pointed to the black Great Wall in the distance that undulated with the mountains and said: "Although the Jin people can't govern the city, they have not worked hard to build passes. Now, no matter if there is a danger over there, they can rush through this wall to help at the first time. ”

Ye Qing looked around, the Yanmen Pass under the night looked extremely deserted, and this was not a real hinterland, so when Ye Qing and the others came in, naturally they couldn't see many golden soldiers stationed at all.

"No wonder when I didn't enter the city, I saw that there were golden people guarding the city wall, but when I came in, there was no one." Ye Qing said with some sudden realization.

"The snow has just stopped today, and the weather is so cold, and the Jin people are not willing to brave the cold to patrol, so the defenders on the city wall are much less than in the past, and there are only a few important beacon towers and defenders on the enemy tower, and the defense is changed every hour." Dong Chao introduced to Ye Qing, then looked at the paperwork in Ye Qing's hand, and said after pointing a few words: "These are two pieces of broken silver, which will be handed over to the guards in a while, in this way, they may let you stay here for two more days because of the heavy snow, otherwise, I am afraid that they will let you leave early tomorrow morning." ”

The two men walked forward as they spoke, and as they got closer to the two rows of simple barracks, the voices of people grew noisy, and the campfire was lit in the night, and the smell of wine began to fill the air.

Following Dong Chao along the corner of the wall, at the door of a room with lights on, Dong Chao motioned for Ye Qing to go in by himself, while he was guarding outside.

As Ye Qing walked in with the paperwork in his hand and opened the thick door curtain, the pungent smell of wine instantly came to Ye Qing, and a guard who had already drunk and had a flushed face leaned on the back of the chair, looking at Ye Qing who was smiling, and asked vaguely, "Who are you?" How is it a fresh face? ”

"The snow is heavy, and the road is not easy to walk, so my father asked the little one to take people into the mountains." Ye Qing was still standing at the door, and without the general's order, he naturally didn't dare to step forward.

What's more, according to Dong Chao's guess, he originally thought that there was only one guard in it, but now there are five people inside, and those two pieces of broken silver naturally need to be silent and only let the guard see it.

So when the guard didn't speak, but just looked at him with a disdainful smile, the two pieces of broken silver in his sleeve pocket had been unknowingly wrapped in the paperwork.

"I have a good body, I am a little wronged to do this job, are you interested in joining the army? At that time, you won't be working as hard as you are now, and you will be able to eat and drink spicy food with me. The guard picked up the wine glass and drank it down, then beckoned to Ye Qing and motioned for him to come forward.

Even if it weren't for the fact that he entered Yanmen Pass with a convoy of grain and grass, Ye Qing's image at this moment was quite embarrassed and honest, his beard had not been shaved for many days, and at this time, he was already covered by a full beard, and the whole person looked dirty. Coupled with the robe that had long been unable to distinguish the color, he drove the ox cart in the snow for half a day, which made Ye Qing look like a strong man with a simple image and was just stronger than ordinary people.

The document mixed with broken silver was gently placed on the table by Ye Qing, the document was naturally opened, revealing the silver inside, the guard's eyes instantly became much brighter, and after nodding with satisfaction, looking at Ye Qing's hands full of dissatisfaction calluses and dirt, he finally completely let go of the already small vigilance in his heart.

A few pieces of broken silver, this is the rule that often transports supplies to them, seeing that Ye Qing is so skillful, it is obvious that his father has already explained before leaving, so he said lazily: "Okay, you can come to pick it up after I sign it tomorrow, it is not easy for you to snow all over the mountains, you might as well stay here for a few more days, and then go back when the snow is almost gone." ”

Ye Qingdeng's eyes lit up, and he nodded and thanked the guard again and again with a happy expression, and then after seeing the guard waving like a fly, he turned around and nodded to a few golden people next to him and hurriedly said hello, and then left the room.

did not arouse the suspicion of the guard, which made Ye Qing, who walked out of the room, breathe a sigh of relief, the cold air made the warmth he had just felt in the room disappear in an instant, and after finding Dong Chao who was waiting on the side, the two looked at the lively bonfire and more than a dozen golden people dancing, and then walked in the direction of the remote room.

At this time, on the side of Yeluyue's battle with the begging stone martyrs, the war that lasted for half a day had also ended.

As after the first encounter, the sporadic torches reappeared on the battlefield full of stumps and broken arms, and the horses with broken legs had already given up the struggle, snorting and panting, listening to the faint moans of pain from the owner next to them, or lying weakly in the snow and rolling their eyes because of the occasional scream that pierced the night sky in the distance.

The cold air froze everything, so that those soldiers who were not killed by the enemy ended up being killed by the cold and quickly.

The soldiers with tenacious vitality were brought back to heal by the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield, and what was even more cruel than yesterday was that those soldiers who could not be saved, but were not completely dead, either watched their companions leave, or begged their companions over and over again to give them a good time.

Yeluyue's eyes were still firm, and the battle that commanded for half a day did not make her feel tired, and at this moment, the battle spirit in her heart was even higher than when she first engaged.

Although the losses in today's battle are still heavy, relatively speaking, the casualties of the begging stone lie gods and slaves are even more tragic than them, and even now, Yelu Yue doubts whether the begging stone lie gods and slaves will still have the strength to fight tomorrow.

So what made Yeluyue nervous was whether to decide tonight to launch a night attack on the Jin people, so as to completely disperse the remaining combat power of the Jin people.

When Zhang Shihe hesitated because of the entanglement in her heart, she really wanted to attack the begging stone martyrs at night, but whether the army still had the strength to fight again at the moment was also a problem she needed to consider, she was extremely determined, but it didn't mean that the soldiers under her command could also be like him.

Just when Yelu Yue was entangled, Yelu Yixue's voice sounded outside the tent, and after Yelu Yue answered, the thick curtain was lifted, and I saw several generals walking quickly into the camp under the leadership of Yelu Yixue.

looked at the seven or eight generals in front of him with some surprise, among them there were no Xia generals, except for Yelu Yixue and the other two Liao generals, the other five were Song generals.

At this time, one by one looked solemn, with resolute eyes, looking at Yelu Yue who was wearing a fur fur after removing his armor, and finally several generals hesitated for a moment, and Yelu Yixue suggested to Ye Lu Yue: Raid the Jin camp tonight.

Ye Luyue, who was originally surprised, became extremely shocked at this time, but looking at the few generals in front of her, she instantly understood why there were no Xia generals among these people.

Obviously, after today's fierce battle, the Xia people may have begun to become cowardly, or they may have been unable to fight anymore.

But Yeluyue prefers to believe that it is the former, and she also fought with the Xia people when she was in Da Liao, although it is not as tragic as it is today, but at least the combat effectiveness of the Xia people is definitely not what she sees today.

In addition to the Song people and the Liao people, there are no Xia generals, which is enough to show that compared to the Liao people who are also dead countries, because of her Yeluyue's presence in the army, the Liao people will always be so brave today, and as for the Xia people, in addition to Li An'an's absence, I am afraid it is also related to the reluctance to work more hard for the Song people.

"Why?" Yeluyue asked without agreeing or objecting.

Several generals glanced at each other, and their appearance, in addition to letting the commander of the first army know that they still had the strength to continue to fight, was also to tell Yeluyue that after today's fierce battle, the Xia people were obviously not as willing to work as hard as they were at the beginning.

"Because some people don't agree with the sneak attack on the Jin people." Among the generals, it was Yelu Yixue who answered.

Yeluyue sighed slightly, continued to shrink back in the chair, looking so weak and helpless, and after thinking quietly for a while, she said, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

The generals led by Yelu Yixue were all happy, and then faced the commander of the whole army, and began to make plans.

And Yeluyue's mind began to think about how to shock the Xia people when the generals were gossiping.

Yelu Yixue and the others asked for battle tonight, in addition to the fact that after today's fierce battle, both the morale and casualties of the two sides were beyond imagination, I am afraid that the generals in the tent are more worried that if they fight again tomorrow, the army may be unstable because of the slackness of the Xia people, thus burying the current good situation.

This side is planning how to sneak attack the Jin people at night, and the begging stone lie god slave, today's battle has also exposed the well-known weakness of insufficient troops, if it is comparable to the opponent's strength, even if there is no weapon of those catapults, the begging stone lie god slave is confident that it can repel the other party.

But helplessly, in order to be able to reach Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible, he chose to march lightly from the beginning, even when he was in Zhending Mansion, he did not plan to bring even heavy cavalry.

Therefore, the lack of troops and the gap in weapons made him suffer a lot of losses in the face of Yeluyue today, and even whether he would be able to fight with the Song people again tomorrow on a scale like today, he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Among the proposals of many generals, in addition to various roundabout and ambush strategies, some people will naturally ask whether the Song people will attack tonight.

"Dig fortifications ......." A general came up with a way to crack it and said.

And the begging stone martyr shook his head slightly: "It's freezing outside, not to mention that it's night, if you want to build a fortification overnight, the scouts of the Song people will definitely notice it, not to mention that they won't give us such an opportunity." But....... ”

The begging stone lie gods and slaves groaned slightly, their brows were tightly locked, now is not the time for him to focus all his attention on this battle, Ye Qing's whereabouts are uncertain, until now, he doesn't know where Ye Qing is, and what's even worse is that the Song people he met in Pingding are also nowhere to be found now, if he is consumed here with Yeluyue, maybe Ye Qing or the Song people will suddenly emerge from behind him.

Taiyuan has been lost, and now it is blocked by Yeluyue in the middle of the road, Ye Qing's whereabouts are uncertain and other factors, so that the begging Shilie gods and slaves have to stand at a higher height to consider the overall situation, the worst plan at the beginning is to return to the boundary line with the Song people, so he should not continue to fight with Yeluyue when he can't defeat Yeluyue's army.

"Send someone to build the fortifications immediately, remember, it doesn't matter whether you dig deep or not, it doesn't matter if you dig wide or not, the most important thing is that you must make an earth-shattering noise, and it is best to let Yeluyue know that we are building defenses to prevent her from sneaking up at night." The beggar god slave stood up and ordered at several generals.

After everyone fought and left, the original resolute expression of the begging stone lie gods and slaves instantly became stunned, and he sighed at the empty tent, now he had to focus on the overall situation, but to compete with Yelu Yue here.

Yelu Yixue did not follow the other generals to plan a sneak attack at night, and the two Song generals were left behind by Yeluyue, and after Yeluyue's pro-army assembled outside the tent, Yeluyue, who had changed into armor in the tent, slowly walked out of the tent. Under the light of the torches, Yeluyue at this time looked heroic, and even the delicate cheeks under the helmet seemed to have a faint murderous aura at this moment, which was like the weak and helpless appearance when she was still in the tent and was not yet armoured.

"Yelu Yixue, with my order, immediately go and gather all the generals of the Xia people to come here." Yeluyue's crisp voice also seemed a little cold in the cold night.

Not long after Yelu Yixue left, sparse footsteps sounded in the distance, except for a few Xia generals who followed Yelu Yixue and the others, most of the Xia generals either refused Yeluyue's summons to them on the grounds of being injured or too tired.

Under the gaze of the two hundred pro-soldiers and other generals, Yelu Yue's gaze slowly swept over the Xia generals who followed Yelu Yixue, and then bowed his head lightly and said, "Lead the way, go to the tent where the generals who are unwilling to come are." ”

Although Yelu Yue's voice was very soft, whether it was Yelu Yixue or other generals, or those Xia generals, they all heard a different taste from the faint crisp sound, and even felt a trace of murderous aura.

Like rows of tents, there were noisy noises from time to time, and some of the generals who did not follow Yelu Yixue to Yelu Yue's tent were shouting triumphantly in front of their men, thinking that the weak female commander would definitely come to beg for him.

Some even said loudly: "Why let a woman be the commander of the whole army, why can't you make yourself the commander-in-chief?" Today, he cut off the heads of thirteen golden people, and also killed several war horses. ”

Just when everyone was talking arrogantly, Yelu Yue slowly appeared behind those generals surrounded by the pro-army and several generals led by Yelu Yixue.

Many Xia soldiers shrank their necks in awe when they saw Yeluyue and the others suddenly appear, and then they either sneaked into the tent, or they stood in place with their heads down, and the original smile on their faces had already disappeared at this time.

Since crossing the Yellow River, Yeluyue began to unconsciously establish her prestige in the army, and through the capture of Taiyuan Mansion, as well as the battle with the Jin people today and yesterday, Yeluyue also showed her talent as a commander and led the troops to fight.

Whether it is a siege battle, an encounter battle, or today's positional battle, under the command of Yeluyue, it is obvious that they have achieved good results, and they are also enough to convince the entire army.

But obviously, there are naturally some people among them who will not be so convinced, not to mention that they were also bewitched by Li An'an at the beginning, so in the army, they have always been regarded as an unstable factor by Yeluyue, but they have never had the opportunity to rectify these people.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, one by one suddenly stopped laughing, and even some people sneakily retreated, with a look of awe in their eyes, several Xia generals who did not go to the front of the camp to command, while watching a few henchmen show surprise to them with their eyes, began to turn around slowly, and looked at Yeluyue, who was surrounded by everyone in silver armor.

"The end ...... The last general has seen the iron-clad general ....... Several Xia people were stunned, and then hurriedly saluted Yeluyue.

"Why don't you assemble in front of the tent?" Yeluyue slowly took two steps forward, and Yeluyi Xue behind him immediately followed two steps, protecting Yeluyue from beginning to end.

"This ...... Today's end of World War I will be a little tiring ....... Facing Yeluyue's fierce gaze, one of the Xia generals began to become stumbling, not knowing how to answer.

And a Xia man next to him, with the corners of his mouth pursed with disdain, after Ye Luyue asked, he raised his head and looked at the night sky, and said disdainfully: "Today Lao Tzu is tired, it is too cold at night, and I don't want to go." Are you satisfied with this? ”

Yelu Yue shifted her gaze and looked at the Xia general, her expression was still extremely calm: "In today's battle, everyone is very tired, but compared to those comrades who died in battle, they are ....... ”

"Comrade?" The generals of the Xia people still looked up at the sky, as if Ye Luyue didn't care at all and said: "Lao Tzu is a Xia person, and helping the Song people like this is already benevolent and righteous." In today's battle, Lao Tzu did not contribute less, and his soldiers did not die on the battlefield. Why, is it possible that you still want Lao Tzu to work for you at night? Or ....... The Xia general slowly lowered his head at this time, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, looked at Yeluyue with a calm expression, and suddenly smiled and said: "Why, is it possible that you want to summon Lao Tzu over to warm your quilt ......." ”

"Presumptuous!" Yelu Yixue said angrily behind Yelu Yue, and one hand immediately touched the hilt of the knife on his waist.

It's just that Yelu Yue's movements are obviously faster than him, and before Yelu Yixue's hand touches the handle of the knife, Yelu Yue has already pulled out the knife on Yelu Yixue's waist, and with a brush, the cold light flashed under the light of the torch, and the Xia generals only felt a flower in front of him, and then a cold neck, and the knife in Yelu Yue's hand was already firmly on his neck.

The cold blade was calm and powerful, clinging to the neck of the Xia general, and at this time, the Xia general who was still crooked in his neck was instantly excited, obviously, he didn't expect that Ye Luyue drew the knife, took out the knife, and put the knife on his neck A series of actions turned out to be so clean and neat.

"Repeat what you just said." Yeluyue's voice and expression were still calm, but the murderous aura in her tone at the moment could be deeply felt even by those soldiers who were submissive.

"I ......." The eyes of the Xia generals were full of fear and panic, and for a moment they didn't know what to say when they faced Yeluyue's calm eyes.

Not only this Xia general, but even other Xia people, including some Song generals, didn't expect that Yeluyue's sword would be as fast as lightning, which was completely different from what they imagined in their hearts.

And at this moment, as the knife in Yeluyue's hand was firmly on the neck of the Xia general, the faces of the other Xia soldiers instantly became a little worried, and they peeked at Yeluyue with some uneasiness, or lowered their heads deeply for the first time, for fear that the angry commander at the moment would use him to vent his anger.

The Xia Kingdom has been dead for several years, even if these Xia people were recruited by Li An'an behind his back, but now there are not many degrees for the Xia Kingdom that has died out, plus he was brought into the Song army by Li An'an, especially after these battles, everyone is actually in the army at this time, and it is difficult to distinguish the Xia people, the Liao people or the Song people.

Of course, nothing is absolute, just like Yeluyue has established prestige in the army, but there are still a few people who are not convinced.

"The state has national laws, the army has military regulations, whether you are a Xia person, a Liao person or a Song person, now you are all soldiers under the command of Lord Ye Qingye, and you are all my colleagues in the army of Yelu Iron Clothes. If any soldier dies in battle, I am as heartbroken as all my comrades, but ...... This is not an excuse for you as a general to disobey military orders. General Ben summoned you and others to reduce casualties among our soldiers in the next battle. And you, as a general, are lawless and lawless, and regard military law as nothing, if you are not punished today, how will this general command the army in the future! At this time, Yelu Yue became very familiar in Yelu Yixue's eyes, as if she had seen the majestic and noble iron-clad general who was in Beifu again.

Without waiting for the Xia general who was held by the knife to his neck to speak, Yeluyue looked around at the other Xia people who were around and looked at his words, which did not arouse other protests and discussions, but made everyone look serious one by one, Yeluyue was even more determined to stand up again with this Xia general.

Looking around coldly at Yelu Yue for a week, her crisp tone sounded awe-inspiring at the moment: "From now on, if there are any more people who do not obey the orders of this general, disobey the military order, and commit the following crimes, this will be the end!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the knife in Yeluyue's hand quickly slashed through the neck of the Xia general, and under the firelight, blood instantly spurted out from the neck of the Xia general who was stumbling, and he looked at Yeluyue in disbelief that he really dared to kill him in public.

Holding the wound on his neck with one hand, he staggered backwards, and the Xia people behind him, when he staggered upside down, under the gaze of Yeluyue, none of them dared to step forward to help, but at the moment when the Xia general fell to the ground, he quickly dodged to both sides with an expressionless face, watching the general fall to the ground and struggle for a while before he stopped moving.

(ps: Forget about the war scene, I really can't come, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm more responsible, I'm more brainy.) Hahaha....... This big chapter...... Tired of watching, right? ）
