Chapter 274: Yongping Pass
Yongping Pass.
At this time, Zhao Jin was in the Guannei and had just finished receiving the second batch of grain and grass in Jingguo.
In the hall, Zhao Jin was holding a banquet to receive the grain transport officials of the Jingguo Imperial Court. Everyone in the hall, beside each of them, also sat a maid and poured wine for them.
Zhao Jin put down his right hand from the woman's waist one by one, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said to the grain officer of Jingguo: "Lord Wang has been tired of traveling and driving, sending food to my allies, it's hard work, come, this king respects Lord Wang a glass." β
"Ah, His Royal Highness King Yan is really too polite, the allies are fighting in our scenery in order to expel Hu Lu, and it is also a blessing to be able to send food to the allies." Jing Guoyun Grain Officer hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said, Zhao Jin is the king of a country, how can he not be honest and afraid of being so courteous to a small official.
"Haha, okay, come, drink!" Zhao Jin raised his glass and drank, and after a glass of wine, he also took the woman on the right into his arms and put his hands up and down.
Yan Wang Zhao Jin, although he is not mediocre, he is definitely a person who can enjoy it.
At this moment, a general of the Yan army hurriedly walked in, after coming in, he first glanced at the grain officer of Jingguo, and then came to Zhao Jin in three steps and two steps, leaned over and said: "King, according to the report of Tan Malay, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Hu Lu are less than thirty miles away from Yongping Pass. β
"What!?" When Zhao Jin heard this, he stood up on the spot, with an incredible expression!
Originally, he thought that his own side as a logistics force, there were more than one million allied troops in front, and it stands to reason that he should defeat the Hulu army step by step and rush to Beishan Pass, the pressure of the wind army is the greatest, why now, but to Yongping Pass!
"Quick! Tell the whole army to prepare for battle and beware of enemy attacks! Zhao Jin hurriedly said. Previously, the 400,000 Yan troops in Yongping Pass had nothing to do at all, drinking and gambling all day long, and no one thought that Yongping Pass would suddenly be attacked by Hulu!
Fortunately, now that the other party is still thirty miles away from Yongping Pass, Zhao Jin hurriedly said to Han Yun: "General Han, you, hurry up and go down to arrange the city defense!" β
"No!" Han Yun responded with a fist clenched, and then left the table.
At this time, the grain officer of Jing Guoyun couldn't help but ask, "Yan ...... His Royal Highness King Yan, what happened, can you tell me. β
Zhao Jin frowned and said, "The Hulu army is approaching Yongping Pass. β
Yes!? When the grain officer of Jingguo heard this, he was shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the Allied forces have been defeated at the front......
"This king doesn't know, there is no news yet!" Zhao Jin said impatiently, at this time, he no longer had any intention to drink and have fun.
The Yan army camp in the city.
In a room, there were several Yan soldiers lying on the ground, some of whom were snoring, but they were still holding the wine jar in their hands.
In the center of the room, there was a group of soldiers who were gambling, all of them with red faces and thick necks.
The door was kicked open with a bang, and a junior officer stepped in.
"who!?" Someone shouted angrily, and everyone in the room turned their eyes to look, and after seeing that it was their boss, people immediately shut up, and hurriedly put away the broken silver and gambling equipment on the table.
When the officer came in, he first stared around with his eyes open, then kicked over the table in front of him, pointed at the soldiers, and shouted, "Look at you! Give Lao Tzu a hurry up and pick up weapons and go to the city wall! β
Yes!? When the soldiers heard this, they didn't react for a while, and they couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
"What the are you doing!?" The officer shouted angrily again, and this time, everyone came to their senses, and hurriedly picked up their respective armors and hurriedly put them on.
"Get up! Roll it all up! The officer, on the other hand, walked all the way, kicked and kicked all the way to some of the soldiers who were lying on the ground.
This is just a corner of the Yan army, under the order of Han Yun, the commander of the Yan army, the 400,000 local troops of the Yan State with scattered military discipline were urgently assembled as soon as possible.
Then, Han Yun began to arrange the city defenses. Yongping Pass is Jingguo's dangerous Xiongguan, at the beginning, Jingguo was also preparing to make the final interception of the Hulu army here, therefore, there are a lot of city defense equipment left in the pass, rolling stones, giant trees, bows and crossbows and arrows, etc., are inexhaustible.
The Yan army took it on the spot and quickly arranged the city defense.
When more than 500,000 ghost army soldiers came to the city, the city wall was already full of Yan troops, and Zhao Jin, the king of Yan, also went up to the city in person, he was wearing a royal robe and a crown, standing in the center of the city defense, looking at the overwhelming ghost army outside the city, he couldn't help but gasp, and said with worry:
"General Han, this time my country will join the alliance, and the 400,000 Yan troops led by this king are all local troops of our country, not only the military discipline is slack, but the combat power cannot compete with the ghost army, can you hold this pass?"
Han Yun thought for a while, clasped his fists and said, "King, whether you can hold Yongping Pass or not, you have to fight with the ghost clan army to know." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the camp of the ghost clan army outside the city had changed.
I saw a ghost clan general at the front of his army, located on the war horse, pointing the scimitar in his hand forward, and then, the ghost clan army behind him was roaring and screaming, like a tide, surging towards the city pass.
It can be said that after the ghost army arrived at Yongping Pass, because they were worried about the other countries behind them, they did not rest for a moment, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Yongping Pass!
Seeing this, Zhao Jin's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly said to Han Yun: "General Han, the ghost clan army has begun to attack the city!" β
With his words, Han Yun also drew the battle sword at his waist and shouted, "All armies are ready!" β
"Crossbowmen readyβ"
"Crossbowmen readyβ"
One after another, military orders were passed down, and the Yan soldiers on the city wall threw their bows and arrows one after another.
"Put-"
Ten thousand arrows swept down, and the camp of the ghost clan army suddenly sounded a miserable howl, and at the same time, the ghost clan also began to set up bows and arrows, running forward while launching a return shot.
The rain of arrows on both sides shuttled back and forth in the air, and from time to time Yan soldiers were shot by arrows, screaming and planting down the city wall.
Han Yun swung his sword and opened the two sharp arrows that came from him, and at the same time said to Zhao Jin: "King, this place is dangerous!" Let's get back to the city! Leave it to the last general! β
"Good! General Han, you must hold the Yongping Pass, and don't let Hu Lu step into the pass! Zhao Jin was willing to stay here, and immediately said when he heard the words.
"The last will understand! Rest assured! Han Yun said in a loud voice, and at the same time named two officers and asked them to escort Zhao Jin down the city wall.
Then, he began to personally direct this defensive battle.
