A ladder approached the city wall, hundreds of soldiers jerked the rope back, and a ladder six or seven feet high was pulled up, and dozens of Turkic soldiers were attached to the ladder.

'Boom! With a loud bang, the first ladder was set up at the head of the city, followed by more than 30 ladders successively at the head of the city, and thousands of Western Turkic soldiers climbed up desperately like ant colonies, slashing with knives, stabbing with spears, and shooting with arrows, just to rush to the head of the city.

The arrows on the city are like dense rain, the rolling wood and stones are smashed down like hailstones, the knife splits the spear, the flesh and blood fly, the Sui soldiers use a long fork to fork the ladder and push it outward, a long ladder is pushed out, and it flips backwards and down, and the ladder sound is a terrible cry.

The Western Turkic archers under the city began to counterattack, and the arrows rained down on the city, shooting towards the head of the city, and the Sui soldiers were constantly shot, screaming and falling from the city, and the casualties gradually increased.

At this time, the dull drumbeat of the Western Turkic army sounded again, and another 30,000 Western Turkic troops entered the battle, and towering nest carts appeared. Han Ziliang hurriedly issued an order to increase the troops, and the five thousand reserve archers who had been preparing for a long time were mobilized and joined in the fierce battle.

……

Fifty miles northwest of Jincheng, in a hidden valley, Wang Junlin led more than 4,000 cavalry to hide here, he successfully completed the task assigned by Yujuluo, and after destroying the Turkic grain and grass, he did not take a long detour back to the south of Shuiquan Pass, but hid here, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Although he was very close to the enemy army and extremely risky, Wang Junlin was extremely calm and was not sure that he would never take any action, so as soon as he came here, he sent a large number of scouts to find out the information of Jincheng County and Shuiquan Pass.

At this time, a team of cavalry rushed back from outside the valley, led by Zhou Hu, the leader of the scout team, which was the scout he sent to Jincheng back, Wang Junlin was anxious to know the situation of Jincheng and Shuiquan Pass, and asked from afar: "How is the battle situation in Jincheng?" ”

The scout team continued to urge the horse to step forward, and Zhou Hu clasped his fists on the horse and saluted: "Report to Lord Duwei, the battle in Jincheng is tragic, and the fields outside the city are full of corpses, but according to the humble observation, it is difficult for the Turks to capture Jincheng in two or three days. ”

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Jiang Muchang hasn't come back yet, I don't know what the situation is at Shuiquan Pass?" ”

As he was talking, another team of scouts galloped into the valley, and Wang Junlin looked at it fixedly, it was Jiang Muchang, the deputy head of the scout team.

Soon Jiang Muchang ran to the entrance, galloped off the horse, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Lord Qiyu Duwei, come back from your humble duty to inquire about the military situation." ”

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "How is the situation at Shuiquan Pass?" ”

Jiang Muchang said: "I captured two Turkic scouts from my humble position, and learned from them that the situation at Shuiquan Pass was not very good, and the governor of the capital was anxious about the safety of Jincheng, so he sent the armies of various prefectures to attack the city day and night, but they failed to capture it, and they also suffered heavy losses. ”

Wang Junlin thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Hu! ”

Zhou Hu stepped forward, hugged his fists and bowed and said, "Humble duty." ”

Wang Junlin looked at the direction of Shuiquan Pass in the south, and said in a deep voice: "There are scouts in the department, looking for the mountain road path leading to Shuiquan Pass. ”

……

To the south of Shuiquan Pass, the 30,000 infantry of the Sui army for the next round of attack have been assembled, Yu Juluo personally came to supervise the battle, his situation is very bad these days, Shuiquan Pass has been attacked for three days, the Sui army has been killed and wounded more than 8,000 people, but has never been able to capture a small Shuiquan Pass.

Whether Jincheng can hold out until his arrival, Yu Juluo's heart is full of worry and anxiety.

"Pei Yuanqing has no news yet?" Yu Juluo shouted in a deep voice.

"Governor Qiqi, Pei Yuanqing has no news yet." Yuwen Hanfeng hurriedly said.

Yu Juluo's face became more and more ugly, at this time, a goshawk came from the north, hovered in mid-air for a moment, swooped down, and fell into a corner of the Sui army's camp, and soon a scout rushed over, knelt down in front of Yu Juluo and said: "Governor, Captain Wang Jun is in an emergency." ”

Yu Juluo's expression tightened, and he said, "Hurry up and present it." Now his only hope is pinned on Wang Junlin, as long as Wang Junlin succeeds in destroying the Turkic grain and grass, it will take a few days for the Turks to retreat, of course, the premise is that the Golden City is not lost, otherwise the grain and grass in the Golden City is enough for the Turks to eat for several months.

"Good, good! Good boy, he really didn't disappoint Ben Shuai. After reading the information, Yujura's face finally became happy.

Liu Fang took it and took a look, his expression was equally happy, but after thinking for a while, he still said: "Dadu Governor, I am afraid that the Turkic Luo Khan dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, and attack Jincheng like crazy regardless of losses, and capture Jincheng before the Turkic army is cut off from food and grass." ”

Yu Juluo's expression froze, and said: "Therefore, the key at present is that we must capture Shuiquan Pass as soon as possible, when the Turkic army will not continue to have food and grass, and the Jincheng will not be attacked for a long time, it will inevitably be turbulent, and our army will be killed, and the Jincheng defenders will be attacked from the north and south, and the Turks will be defeated." ”

After a pause, Yujuluo issued a death order: "If this round is to capture the Bushui Spring Pass again, each government army will select five hundred dead soldiers, and a total of five thousand dead soldiers must capture the Water Spring Pass today!" ”

At this time, the drums of war rumbled and sounded, and a new round of attack on Shuiquan Pass began again, the mountain road south of Shuiquan Pass was no more than eight zhang wide, and there were too many people to exert it, and only 5,000 people were allowed to attack the city at the same time at a time.

At this time, the 5,000 Sui army was killed in front of the pass, and the Sui army of ten people in a row went up in a row, getting closer and closer, but when it was a hundred paces, the army stopped advancing.

Ying Yang Lang looked at Li Qing fiercely at the Shuiquan Pass a hundred steps away, and shouted: "The first regiment goes first!" ”

He gave the order, and the war drums 'Boom!' Boom! 'Ringing, a thousand Sui troops with shields in their hands swarmed towards the wall of Shuiquanguan.

At the head of the city, Sguapiva watched the 1,000 Sui army kill with a smug face, only running out of twenty steps, and under the loud order of the captain, the speed suddenly slowed down, and began to swell forward cautiously, and the shield formed a shield wall.

Although there are 40,000 people in Shuiquan Pass, the city can only accommodate 10,000 soldiers at a time, and the same 3,000 people can attack at the same time, so the four or three people can be divided into four rotations, and the physical strength can always be kept abundant, and the troops are extremely sufficient. This is also the main reason why it was difficult for the Sui army to conquer Shuiquan Pass.

Three thousand Turkic soldiers with bows and arrows aimed at the approaching Turkic army, they were waiting for the best range, the best range was thirty steps, this distance, the Turkic archers could shoot through the gap in the shield, they could also throw, the distance was so short that the Sui army did not have time to switch shield arrays.

The Sui army was getting closer and closer, and had already entered within fifty paces, the drumming stopped, and there was silence in front of the pass, except for the rustle of the Sui soldiers as they advanced.

Sguupiva watched the Sui army move forward, and had already entered within thirty steps, and he gave an order, "Shoot!" ”

A thousand soldiers fired at the same time, from a small difficult living environment, the lack of food on the grassland, so that every Turkic warrior's archery skills are quite superb, although the Sui army has a shield to block, but before walking there are inevitably gaps exposed, the Turks seized this opportunity to shoot at the Sui army, a scream sounded, more than a hundred Sui soldiers were shot down, rolled to the ground, more than a dozen soldiers were even dodging accidentally fell from the cliff next to them, fell into the deep mountain stream, the scream echoed for a long time.

But just after this round of arrows was fired, the Sui soldiers accelerated sharply, frantically rushing to the top of the mountain, as long as they rushed into the open field of thirty paces, the force could be expanded to both sides, and more Sui troops could be killed behind.

The Turkic soldiers were like flying locusts, 3,000 people were divided into three teams to shoot in turns, groups of Sui soldiers screamed and fell, and the Sui army behind rushed forward again, one after another in the agitated war drums, and the Sui soldiers behind were covered with bows and arrows, and the dense rain of arrows shot at the head of the city.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the corpses began to pile up rapidly on the short mountain road between thirty and ten paces, and in only a quarter of an hour, more than 400 Sui soldiers were killed and wounded, and the first group of 1,000 people finally could not withstand it and withdrew like a tide.

Ying Yanglang's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Three thousand people attack!" ”

The attacking Sui army suddenly tripled, roaring, brandishing war swords, and rushing frantically towards the wall of Shuiquanguan on the top of the mountain, arrows rained down and stones were as dense as hail, and a fierce battle for the dangerous pass began.

……

The mountains on both sides of Shuiquan Pass are called Shuiquan Mountain, the mountain is steep, the peaks are towering to the sky, the mountains are covered with dense forests, occasionally a large straight cliff will be exposed, the steep wall is either not a single grass grows, or crawls full of vines, these cliffs are like being cut by a knife, the cliffs are full of various forms of rocks, some are as small as pebbles, some are as big as three-storey buildings, a curved and long mountain road passes through these large and small rocks.

At the beginning of the night, the mountain road was exceptionally silent, there was a rustling sound in the woods and rock crevices on both sides, occasionally a night owl would start from the big tree, making a terrible strange scream, which was terrifying, but soon, the silence on the mountain road was broken by a troop of troops, five hundred cavalry in a row of two, walking quickly on the wet but not muddy mountain road, the sound of horses' hooves, the clanging of war knives and the occasional sound of soft conversation, from time to time there was a group of birds on the big trees beside the mountain road were also awakened, stunned and flew up.

"What's going on, why stopped." Pei Yuanqing, the controller of this army, stopped on his horse and asked with a frown.

Soon a soldier hurried back from the front, knelt down on one knee and reported: "General, this path has to pass through a mountain stream in front of it, which can only be passed one at a time, but now the mountain stream has been blocked from the other end. We couldn't get through. ”

Pei Yuanqing's face suddenly became extremely ugly. At this time, he was already able to vaguely see Shuiquan Pass, he was ordered to find the secret mountain road to Shuiquan Pass, the secret road in the mountains was found, but obviously this secret road has also been discovered by the Turkic soldiers, and was directly destroyed by the other party, and can not be crossed.
