Chapter 995: Yanmen Xiongguan

The Huns were completely cowardly, did not dare to hesitate any longer, and fled to the north in embarrassment at the cost of 10,000 dead and wounded.

Su Zhe led the Wei army, chased after him, and went straight to Taiyuan County.

At this time, Hu Che'er was ordered by Su Zhe, relying on the speed of Shenxing, to rush to Jinyang City in advance, and reported the news of Linfen's great victory and Su Zhe's cavalry to help.

For a time, the Wei soldiers who were oppressed by the Xiongnu and did not dare to go out of the city were all in high spirits and their fighting spirit was wild.

At the same time, Hu Che'er issued a holy decree to Zhang He, ordering him to lead the troops left behind in Jinyang to immediately go out of the city to intercept and kill the Huns fleeing north, and be sure to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy.

Zhang He and his soldiers had long held their breath, waiting to use the blood of the Huns to calm the anger in their hearts.

As a result, Jinyang City, Yuci City and other important towns in Taiyuan County all opened their gates, and tens of thousands of Wei soldiers came out of the city and launched a counterattack against the Huns who fled north.

Just a month ago, the Wei army's initiative to attack was a good thing that Yu Fuluo couldn't ask for, but now, it has become his nightmare.

He and his frightened Hun cavalry did not dare to engage the angry Wei army, and the Hun armies of all walks of life were defeated, and after discarding a large number of looted supplies, they rushed towards Yanmen Pass further north.

For a time, the entire Taiyuan County was full of smoke, and less than 70,000 Huns, like rats crossing the street, were wantonly driven away by the Wei army and fled north in embarrassment.

In the spring of that year, Su Zhe led his army to Jinyang and met with Zhang He.

That night, in the lobby of the state capital, Zhang He set up a grand banquet to welcome the holy decree of the Son of Heaven.

"Junyi, we haven't seen each other for a while." Su Zhe asked with a smile.

Zhang He arched his hand and sighed: "Back to Your Majesty, it's not a few days, but I haven't seen you for more than three years. ”

"Three years? Is it so long? Su Zhe couldn't believe it, pinched his fingers and counted.

It seems right to think about it, after he defeated Dong Zhuo and captured the annexed state, he used Zhang He to defend the annexed state.

After that, he conquered Jiangdong, captured Yizhou, swept Guanlong, and more than three years of conquest, during which Zhang He was always guarding Jinyang, and there was no opportunity to meet between the monarchs and ministers.

"It's true that I haven't seen you for more than three years, Junyi, I've worked hard for you all these years, come, I will toast you." Su Zhe comforted him and raised his wine glass.

Zhang He hurriedly raised his glass and said: "The minister is trusted by His Majesty, and it is a great honor for the minister to defend and annex the state for my Great Wei and resist the Huns Hulu. ”

"Hahaha, don't say anything, drink this cup full." Su Zhe raised his head and drank it all.

Zhang He also laughed, raised his head and drank it all.

After a few rounds of drinking, the topic of discussion among the monarchs and ministers naturally turned to the Huns.

"Your Majesty really plans to destroy the Huns this time and recapture the five northern counties?" Zhang He asked.

"Of course, otherwise, why would I lead the iron cavalry myself, I can send a general." Su Zhe took a sip of wine.

Zhang He wanted to speak and stopped.

Su Zhe saw that he had something to say, so he said: "Between our monarchs and ministers, there is nothing that cannot be said, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhang He asked: "Your Majesty wants to destroy the Huns, but he only brought 40,000 iron horses, even if you add 80,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the minister, the total is only 120,000. ”

Su Zhe smiled: "The soldiers are fine but not many, to destroy a Huns, 120,000 troops are enough." ”

Zhang He was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, with Your Majesty's ability to use troops, it is far better than that of Yu Fuluo, and the 120,000 army is indeed not a lot." ”

As soon as the words changed, Zhang He said: "It's just that the five northern counties have the danger of Taihang Mountain, Your Majesty wants to attack the five counties, first of all, you have to break the most dangerous Yanmen County, and Yanmen County has the risk of Yanmen Pass, the danger of this pass is not inferior to Tongguan, our army wants to capture it, but I am afraid it may not be easy to ......."

Zhang He's implication was naturally that he was worried that Su Zhe would not be able to capture Yanmen.

Su Zhe smiled proudly: "Sword Pavilion, Yangping Pass, Tongguan, which one is not more dangerous than Yanmen Pass, these gates are helpless, not to mention a mere Yanmen Pass, you don't need to worry too much, just go north with me to destroy the Huns." ”

Seeing that Su Zhe was so confident, Zhang He naturally had no worries, got up happily, and arched his hand: "The minister is willing to be the vanguard, and he will set foot on the Yanmen Gate for His Majesty and destroy the Huns!" ”

Su Zhe laughed, raised his glass and said: "Okay, let's drink him a good time tonight, and tomorrow the army will go north and go straight to Yanmen Pass!" ”

……

Su Zhe and the generals drank for a night, and as soon as the sky was bright the next day, they raised their army and went to Yanmen Pass in a mighty way.

In this battle, although Su Zhe had an army of 120,000, he did not need to worry about the logistics of grain and grass.

Although Bingzhou is a barren land with not much arable land, because Jinyang is the front line of defense against the Xiongnu, in recent years, Su Zhe has been collecting grain and grass from Jinyangtun in a steady stream.

After several years of operation, the grain and grass collected by Zhang He on the front line of Jinyang can be used for half a year by 120,000 troops, and the grain and grass can be described as sufficient.

Su Zhe took Jinyang as a logistics base and asked Guo Huai to transfer grain and grass in the rear to provide a good backing for the front line.

The army went all the way north, and the cities that had been plundered by the Huns were all recovered by him without a fight, and in less than five days, the army reached the south of Yanmen Pass.

At this time, Yu Fuluo had already led 60,000 cavalry and retreated to Yanmen Pass, putting on a posture of sticking to the city and fighting a protracted battle with Su Zhe.

Su Zhe ordered the army to be in the south of Yanmen Pass, forcing the city to go down to the wall, and camping for five miles, forming a powerful force.

The camp of the army was over, and Su Zhe did not rush to tackle the problem, but asked Ma Jun to lead hundreds of craftsmen to build the divine thunder cannon day and night.

In view of the fact that the quantum meteorological satellite is now dormant and does not know when it will be able to recover, Su Zhe cannot take a meteorological attack on Guancheng, nor can he effectively implement the airborne operation of Kong Ming Lantern, so he can only take a strong attack to break the pass.

Ten days later, nearly 200 divine thunder cannons were completed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the gate of the Wei camp was opened, and tens of thousands of Wei soldiers and soldiers, with high morale, all drove out of the camp and assembled in front of the Yanmen Pass.

After the assembly of the army, there were hundreds of large and small formations, like clouds covering the ground, mighty and vigorous.

Su Zhe immediately joined the Chinese army, watched the divine thunder cannons, and was pushed to the front of the formation, aiming at the majestic gate built by the mountains in front of him.

As Zhang He said, Yanmen Pass is built according to the narrow mouth of Taihang Mountain, and the materials used to build the city are all stones made of local materials, which are far stronger than ordinary earth cities.

In addition to the terrain is not as high as the Yangping Pass Sword Pavilion, the gate city in front of him is a typical mountain Xiongguan.

"Your Majesty, the majesty of this Yanmen Pass is not inferior to Yangping Pass." Ma Chao pointed to Guan Cheng and sighed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's really hard to say whether our divine thunder cannon can break through the city." Ma Yunlu also worried.

Su Zhe sneered: "It's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and walk around first." ”

After that, he raised his whip and shouted: "Divine thunder cannon, let me die." ”

The order was laid, the flag waved, and the drums of war suddenly sounded.

The gunners who had been ordered immediately pulled the mechanism of the divine thunder cannon, and with the sound of the air explosion, two hundred stone bullets rose into the air and roared towards Yanmen Pass.
