The battlefield preset by Changsun Hong is under the high post.

Here is ten miles away from Jinzhou City, the left is close to the Han River, the right is connected to the Jishui, the two rivers meet at the foot of Gaogang, a part of the Daba Mountain mountain system suddenly emerges here, tightly and the Qinling Mountains across the Han River sandwich the Han Water in the middle, such as two strong men stretching out their arms, blocking the river only leaving a palm-wide distance to let the water flow through as narrow.

And the situation of Jishui is not much better than that of Hanshui, the continuous peaks of Daba Mountain force Jishui into a tactful earthworm, the turbulent river flows hard between the peaks, persistently impacting the rocks blocking the road, at the confluence of the two rivers rush out of a flat land with a radius of about ten miles, the official road passes through a stone bridge erected on the Jishui River, and people from the east to the west cross Jishui from this bridge and go to the direction of Jincheng or Junzhou.

There was originally a pass here, called Zhukou Pass, from the Three Kingdoms when the Shu people were stationed here to fortify, but the years change, the age is long, the pass was abandoned in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, leaving only a remnant of the dilapidated earth wall after weathering, extending along the river channel of Jishui, and then disappearing in the loess.

But at this moment, thousands of soldiers were working here in full swing, they cut huge logs from the mountain, brought huge stones, and built a wooden wall of stone foundation stones behind the earthen wall, the wall was one foot five feet high, and there was a wooden tread with a short end behind it, and the defenders could stand on it, and condescendingly shoot arrows and stones at anyone who tried to cross the auspicious water and attack the wooden wall, because of the angle and the obstacle of the river, it was very difficult for the attacker to fight back.

It is a barrier between natural and artificial.

The slight disadvantage is that the Jishui has been much thinner in the past two days, and the rushing river channel in the past has narrowed a lot and is much shallower, and adults can wade through the river smoothly as long as they wade through the calf-overflowing water and the nasty river beach silt.

Of course, this process is quite time-consuming, and whether or not you can survive the arrows of the guards to the bottom of the wooden wall depends on luck and providence.

"Lord Wanyan, whether our plan can be realized or not will require your efforts." Changsun Hong looked at the busy and near-end construction site under Gao Gang, and said to Wanyan Chenghei: "I will leave you the most elite ghost pawn in my hand, although there are only a thousand people, but the combat power is strong enough to help you." As long as Liu Heima is in front of this wall, Kublai Khan will definitely come in person, and he will come quickly, because the sparse performance of our feints in front of him has given him a lot of confidence. ”

"Tanma said that Liu Heima did not delay in Xunyang, and he will probably arrive here before sunset tomorrow." Wanyan Chenghei replied with a solemn face, he felt a little pressure, but his voice was firm: "Against the Mongols, we will give up our lives!" Lord Eldest Sun doesn't have to worry. ”

Changsun Hong looked at him, and then looked down at the soil under his feet: "Don't be careless, and don't be rash, after all, I hope you can live and go further with me." ”

This sentence was a little heartwarming, and Wanyan Chenghei smiled: "That's natural, there is no life, and everything you talk about is empty talk." ”

"I'll leave it to you in Kowloon Angde, he will bring ghost pawns, and in addition, I will also leave those iron lumps that will explode to you, and I can use them to defend the city." Changsun Hong turned around, stretched out his hand, put it on Wanyan Chenghe's shoulder, and looked into his eyes: "Kublai Khan brought tens of thousands of people, although the place here is narrow, he can't spread it, but you are just as uncomfortable as the wheel warfare method, and the difficulty is not small." ”

He accentuated his tone and continued in a deep voice: "If you fail, I will break the embankment as soon as possible, two days, you must be driven here like a nail for two days!" ”

Wanyan Chengji looked at him, their eyes intertwined, and they both saw the determination from each other's pupils, and the decisive decision of the battlers who were not afraid of death.

Wanyan Chenghei didn't blink his eyelids, and nodded fiercely.

In the distance, flying smoke and dust seemed to rise above the mountains.

……

Liu Heima has been getting up before dawn every day for the past two days.

On the one hand, because of anxiety, on the other hand, because of excitement.

Pursuing all the way, fighting two or three encounters and sniper battles in a row, the enemy soldiers who stood in the way were all at the touch of a button, hastily firing bows and arrows at a long distance, and once their own troops broke through fortifications such as wooden walls and pits, the opponents fell apart and fled like rats that had blown up their nests.

Perhaps this type of battle is more appropriately described as encountering some unformed stragglers on the march.

This is very normal, and the remnants of Fan Yongji in the rout should be this virtue.

Liu Heima can't wait to see the outline of Hanzhong City, Hanzhong Plain Qianli Plain, fertile land and rich people, is a good place with abundant oil and water, not to mention that this place is connected to Longyou in the west, Guanzhong in the east, Bashu in the east, and Nanyang in the oblique thorn, the key to extending in all directions, the treasure land that the world's soldiers must fight for, and the great geographical point must be firmly held in their own hands, and it is also a heavy bargaining chip to compete for the throne of the prime minister of Handi in the future.

He couldn't wait for the slow foot soldiers, leaving hundreds of people to guard the county seat of Xunzhou, and personally led more than 2,000 cavalry from the front army to rush to the front.

It's risky, but he's not afraid.

What's ahead? A group of soldiers were defeated in a hurry, even if Jinzhou was controlled by the remnants of the Jin State, with these cavalry under his hands, he was sure to advance and retreat freely.

So he appeared outside the wooden wall of Zhukou Pass two hours earlier than Changsun Hong expected, and not long after noon, the cavalry of the brigade drank on the shallow banks of the Jishui River.

Across the auspicious water, Liu Heima looked at the continuous wooden wall in the distance in astonishment, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"What's going on?" He asked the scout, "Who is fortifying here?" ”

Because the cavalry was too fast, the scout and he almost arrived here on the front and back feet, and they didn't know much information, so they could only tell him: "The mountain people here have fled without a trace, and the mountains next to the road are steep and difficult to walk, so they can't be bypassed, and the guide can't be found to ask, but the banner at the pass should be the Jin people blocking the road here." ”

"Golden Man?" Liu Heima was even more surprised, he couldn't help but put up a pergola and looked into the distance, those wooden walls are very solid, three feet above the ground are boulders as the base, obviously not hastily erected, but after careful planning cleverly set up, this wall is equal to the flat ground to pull the river more than a zhang high, there is a small hole in the wall, and the sharp crossbow bow is shining behind the head.

On the wooden wall, several flags fluttered, and in the middle of the flags embroidered with dragon and tiger patterns, the recognition of the flags written in Jurchen script was particularly clear.

"It's been more than ten years since the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and there are still remnants here?" Liu Heima was surprised, and snorted coldly: "The generation of local chickens and dogs, you can't stop me when you were in your heyday, do you still want to stop me at this time?" It's ridiculous! ”

"Sons, get off your horse and rest, and check your weapons! In two quarters of an hour, cross the river with me! ”
