When Ling Kun traveled to Sichuan to find Gu Weiyi to drink, there had already been two extremely tragic battles in Mianyang Pass.

Wang Yingjue's new official took office with three fires, and after taking office, he immediately rectified military discipline, adjusted generals, and swept away the lazy and casual atmosphere when Ling Kun was in the past. Wang Yingjue was very satisfied, so he decided to attack the city immediately, he wanted to prove to the court and the whole army that he Wang Yingjue was no worse than Ling Kun.

Before the siege, Wang Yingjue made a pre-war mobilization with great emotion, raising the morale of the army to the highest. Immediately after an order, the drums sounded, and the army launched an attack on Mianyang Pass.

Situ Jianghua led the Shu army to resist, and the battle was very fierce.

The Shu army occupied the head of the city, condescending, and made sufficient preparations to defend the city pass.

Wang Yingjue was determined to capture Mianyang Pass at all costs, and although he suffered heavy losses, he had no intention of retreating.

The battle was fought from morning to afternoon, and it was still going on. The corpses of the Song army were piled up under the city, and Wang Yingjue personally beat the drums and cheered with red eyes.

Hong Jialu and Xu Zixuan, who had been adjusted to other positions, couldn't stand it anymore, so they came to find Wang Yingjue together, Hong Jialu said: "Dashuai, we can't fight anymore, we have suffered too heavy losses." ”

Wang Yingjue was furious: "You don't want to cholera the military here, otherwise the military law will serve." ”

"Dashuai, the sun is about to set, the soldiers have been fighting all day, without food or drink, if they continue like this, not to mention being killed by the enemy, they will exhaust themselves to death." Xu Zixuan said angrily.

Wang Yingjue was furious and shouted: "What is your intention to retreat before the battle and disturb the morale of the army? Someone came, and these two people were arrested and beaten with 30 boards each to show military law. ”

The soldiers immediately came up, arrested Hong Jialu and Xu Zixuan, and dragged them out to play the board. But Wang Yingjue's cronies couldn't stand it at this time, and persuaded: "Dashuai, you can't fight like this anymore, the soldiers have no strength, and there is only one way to die if they continue to fight, if the casualties are too heavy, how to explain to the emperor." ”

Wang Yingjue stared at the city and was unwilling to give up, but he was helpless, and after thinking for a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Collect the troops." ”

As the gong sounded, Song Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated like a tide.

In this battle, the Song army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the Shu army occupied it

The location is favorable, and the casualties are less than a thousand.

After the first battle was fruitless, Wang Yingjue was thinking about launching a second attack, but he had not yet dispatched, and the Shu army came down by itself.

Without Ling Kun, Situ Jianghua was also confident, coupled with the failure of the Song army to attack the city two days ago, the people were sleepy and the morale was low, it was a good time to fight back.

Early this morning, the Shu army rushed out of Mianyang Pass and took the initiative to attack, and Situ Jianghua led his specially recruited martial arts people to rush to the front, like a tiger entering a flock, unstoppable.

Wang Yingjue saw that Situ Jianghua, whom he was most afraid of, went to battle in person, so he gave up the idea of taking the lead and hid behind to command and supervise the battle.

In this way, it was lost for a while in terms of morale.

After a fierce battle for an hour, the Song army was obviously defeated, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated in defeat after defeat.

At this time, Hong Jialu endured the pain of the scar on his buttocks, limped over and shouted: "Dashuai, hurry up and put the chain horse in front, otherwise there will be no chance to retreat." ”

Wang Yingjue ignored him and continued to hiss, trying his best to direct the battle. From his point of view, he really didn't want to use what Ling Kun left behind, if that was the case, it didn't mean that he was not as good as Ling Kun.

Seeing that the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, and the corpses are spread layer after layer, at this time, they will turn around and retreat, and they will be frantically pursued and killed by the Shu army. Besides, if you really want to go back, how can you explain it to the court? Ling Kun can easily hit Mianyang Pass, you Wang Yingjue can't hold it, what kind of face do you have to be this front handsome.

Thinking about it this way, you have to use a chain horse, anyway, the chain horse belongs to the army, not Ling Kun's. After thinking about it like this, he finally convinced himself, and immediately ordered Hao Wenkai to prepare and put the chain horse in front.

Since Ling Kun returned to Beijing and Wang Yingjue took office, the chain horses have been unarmed, and the heavy armor has been put into storage. It will take at least half an hour to prepare again at this moment. In the past half an hour, the Song army has killed thousands of soldiers.

As the gong sounded, the Song army quickly retreated. In an instant, the sound of iron hooves shaking the mountains sounded, and the chain horses showed their hideous faces.

The Shu army was afraid of the chain horse from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but stop when he saw this scene. Even Situ Jianghua hesitated, seeing that he was about to win, and would even annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop, it would be a pity to give up at this time.

Or insist on fighting

Go down, Ling Kun is no longer there, and his chain of horses may not be effective.

Thinking of this, he shouted to his troops: "Brothers, don't be afraid, Ling Kun is no longer in the team, those things are all illusions, they don't work, follow me to kill them." ”

So the Shu army rushed up again, but the question arose, what can you do in the face of these invulnerable steel warriors?

The Song army would not give them time to think, and hid behind the chain of horses to shoot arrows with a bow, because there was no pressure, and the arrows were shot very accurately.

The battle situation was reversed in an instant, and the chain horses were approaching step by step, and the Shu army either chose to retreat, or was twisted together by the chain horses and slaughtered by the Song army.

Of course, Situ Jianghua knew how to choose, and immediately ordered the army to withdraw.

The two sides returned to their original positions, as if nothing had happened, except that nearly 20,000 soldiers were buried outside Mianyang Pass forever.

Of the 20,000 people, the Song army accounted for seventy percent. Both generals and ordinary soldiers clearly know that this is caused by Wang Yingjue's stubbornness and improper command, if he puts the chain horse in front at the beginning, maybe he doesn't even have to sacrifice a person for the second time.

Wang Yingjue himself can realize this, and he doesn't even dare to go out of the tent from now on. The chain horse did not dare to remove its armor day and night, and only took off the iron hood and fed the finest feed when it was eating and drinking.

Situ Jianghua was also very discouraged after this battle, the Song army's chain of horses was not broken, and he was always in a passive position. There was no choice but to go to the Furong Palace to report to Shangguan Jinghong.

In the Furong Palace, Shangguan Jinghong pondered for a moment and said: "This chain horse was created by Ling Kun, he must have a way to crack it, and he must take him for his own use as soon as possible." By the way, Mr. Feng, what's Ling Kun's situation now? ”

According to the report of his informant, Ling Kun has been dismissed by Zhao Heng, and his mental state is very bad, and he spends his days drunk all day. But recently, I seem to have been in Sichuan again, and I drank and wrote poems with a drunkard named Gu Weiyi in Chengdu all day long. ”

Shangguan Jinghong's eyes jumped, and he snorted coldly: "Another seed of infatuation." ”

Others didn't pay attention to Shangguan Jinghong's words, but Shangguan Chengcheng behind him was a little puzzled, how could it be another infatuation seed, the word "again" means that there is another infatuation seed, so who is the mother referring to.
