The 180,000 Jurchen army entered the Taihang Mountains!

At the beginning, the road was quite open, and the Jurchens could ride horses!

After walking for less than half a day, the road began to be bumpy, full of weeds, and rocks, and in such a situation, the Jurchens had no choice but to dismount and move forward.

"The peaks here are endless, and I don't know when I will be able to get out!" Wan Yan Lou said.

"As long as you go all the way, you will definitely be able to get out! Since ancient times, from Hedong to Hebei, or from Hebei to Hedong, there are many armies crossing! At the earliest, Han Xin's Battle of Jingcheng was to cross Taihang to fight the enemy, and Cao Cao also led a large army through Taihang, and also wrote the Bitter Cold Line. Wanyan Zong said.

This Wanyan Zongwang is unusually proficient in the culture of the Central Plains, and he deserves to be the best among the Jurchens.

The battle he said was the last year of the Qin Dynasty, Han Xin only led tens of thousands of troops from Hedong to Hebei, and fought with hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops at the mouth of Jingcheng in Taihang Mountain.

As for Cao Cao's bitter cold line, it was Cao Cao who crossed Taihang to hunt down and kill Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, who led the army to pass through the famous Yangjiban Road in Taihang Mountain and wrote this poem.

The ancient Taihang Mountain is different from the Taihang Mountain in later generations, there are no roads and railways extending in all directions in later generations, only small roads and mountain roads!

In the middle of the night, the rain was still falling, but the Jurchen army could not find a place to rest.

They just had to keep going.

The mountains on both sides became steeper and steeper, and at last they were almost in the middle of the sky.

The sky was dark, and although there were soldiers with torches, the rain poured down and the torches were often extinguished.

Wanyan Zongwang walked ahead, unusually vigilant in his heart.

At this time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from behind, and hearing this sound, Wanyan Zongwang was startled.

"What happened?" He shouted.

There was a faint scream in the distance, and the Jurchen soldiers behind frantically came forward.

"Your Highness, a mountain rock has fallen, and many soldiers have died!" A thousand commanders rushed to Wan Yan Zongwang and said.

"Damn! Go and save people now! Wanyan Zongwang said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, another mountain rock fell from above, and another rumbling sound shook the four directions.

"Your Highness, it may be because of the rain, a lot of rocks have fallen, let's leave quickly!" The thousand-captain said.

Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth, he couldn't care about the soldiers behind him at this moment, so he could only move forward quickly! Like this mountain and rock falling, no matter how high the martial arts are, I am afraid that there is only one way to die, and he is not willing to die here in vain!

Fortunately, the rumbling sound gradually stopped, and Wanyan Zongwang breathed a sigh of relief!

The 180,000-strong army stretched for more than ten miles, and the mountains on both sides finally became gentle, and the Jurchens all let out cheers.

"How many people have we killed or wounded?" Wanyan Zong said.

"More than a thousand people died." Thousand-mile said.

"A thousand sons died here for nothing, they could have killed 10,000 or more Han people!" Wanyan Zongwang felt extremely heartbroken!

"Your Highness, Taihang Mountain is too difficult to walk, these are inevitable things!" Thousand-mile said.

"Our sons died because of the persecution of the Han people, and the Han people really deserve to die! When the day comes, I will definitely lead the army back, sweep through the Han people, seize all the land of the Han people, and enslave all the Han people! Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth and said.

They continued their journey deep into the mountains without rest for the whole night.

Now they are walking on the famous Jingcheng Road in the Taihang Eight Mountains! Taihang Eight Roads, including eight roads from Hedong to Hebei, Yanyun and Henan, from Niangzi Pass is this Jingcheng Road.

The next day, the rain finally stopped and the sun came out!

The Jurchens braved the rain for many days, and their bodies were covered in mud, and they were also filthy at the moment.

Originally, this squalor was nothing, but the Jurchens had enjoyed wealth over the years, and now they are a little unbearable.

In the afternoon, a small river appeared in front of them, and the Jurchens cheered again.

Countless Jurchens dismounted from their horses, and they ran to the creek, where they drank water and washed themselves.

Even Wanyan Zongwang got off his horse and came to the river.

A soldier handed over a towel, and Wanyan Zongwang was wiping his body, but at this moment, a figure shook in the grass opposite, and countless bows and arrows shot towards here.

"Damn it!" Wanyan Zongwang was taken aback, he hurriedly stood up and dodged an arrow!

However, not all of them were as skilled as him, and many of the Jurchen soldiers who were washing fell to the ground screaming.

"Chase! Be sure to catch up with those guys! They are Han thieves in the Taihang Mountains! Catch up with them and tear them to pieces! Wanyan Zongwang was angry.

At that moment, countless Jurchens remounted their horses, and they headed towards the other side of the river.

The rebel soldiers on the opposite side had fled into the distance at this moment, and the Jurchens were closely chasing after them.

It's just that this is in the middle of the mountains, and the rebel soldiers keep climbing towards the mountain, and in the end, the Jurchens can only dismount and pursue behind!

The rebel soldiers were extremely familiar with the Taihang Mountain, they had lived here for many years, and the Jurchen soldiers did not have the slightest understanding of this place, and after half an hour, they lost the figure of the rebel soldiers, and then they searched for half an hour and had to come down from the mountain.

"The enemy killed more than 200 of us, and we didn't even catch a single enemy! These pigs and dogs, what else will you do besides cunning? Wanyan Zongwang was extremely angry.

"Your Highness, these Han thieves are indeed cunning! However, their combat power is average, and their forces are extremely limited, at most they will harass us, we just need to be careful! Wan Yan Lou said.

Two years ago, when the Guanshan side attacked Western Xia, in order to contain the Jurchens, the Hedong Righteous Army attacked the Hedong Prefecture on a large scale, when Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou personally led the army to sweep, the Hedong Righteous Army suffered heavy casualties, and there were only tens of thousands of people left, these tens of thousands of people were hiding in the depths of the Taihang Mountain, and they did not dare to come out in the past, and now the Jurchen army passed through their territory, and they dared to come out to harass.

In any case, it was difficult for the Hedong rebels to inflict too many casualties on them, so the difference in strength between them was too great.

"I'm still very uncomfortable! I hate Han people to the extreme now! They were supposed to be slaves of our Jurchens, and now these slaves dare to resist, it's ridiculous! They think that we Jurchens have really reached the end of the road? Hey, we're just having a few minor setbacks! When I get to Hebei, I'll settle accounts with the Han people! Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, the Han people should be the slaves of our Jurchens, or the slaves of the Khitans and the Tanguts, the Central Plains is like a piece of fat, and sooner or later our Jurchens will eat this piece of fat!" Wan Yan Lou said.

"Our fighters didn't rest yesterday, let them rest today, and then continue on their way." Wanyan Zong said.

At the moment, the Jurchen army rested in the mountains.

When autumn came, it was very cold in the mountains, and these Jurchens were crowded against each other, some with war horses, and they fell into a deep sleep.

It's just that Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou are cautious, and they still send thousands of people to watch out for the surroundings, and once there is any change in the surroundings, they will immediately wake up the soldiers. Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou also kept vigil one after another, worried about encountering accidents.

Fortunately, this night was spent peacefully.

Early in the morning of the third day, the Jurchen army again headed east.

An autumn scene deep in the mountains, with fallen leaves and hoarfrost visible on the ground.

As they went, they often saw wild beasts.

The road on this day is also very difficult, sometimes it is a small path, and sometimes it suddenly opens up.

Wanyan Sect sent more than 500 people to explore the way in front.

The more than 500 people rode their horses and galloped, and at this time, a loud noise came, and the war horses in front stepped into a huge pit one after another. The people behind couldn't pull their horses, and some fell into deep pits.

After Yan Zongwang got the news, he was furious again, not to mention it.

On the fourth day, they did not encounter any ambush.

On the morning of the fifth day, when the Jurchen army was walking forward, the army of more than 10,000 people behind it suddenly encountered a large-scale siege by the Hedong rebels!

It turned out that the Hedong Righteous Army had organized more than 30,000 people to suddenly rush down from the jungle on the mountain and strike at the Jurchen army!

By the time the Jurchen army in front reacted and came to the back, those rebel soldiers had already evacuated here at a very fast speed, and the Jurchens had pursued for half a day without pursuing the rebel soldiers!

Late at night on the fifth day, while the Jurchens were sleeping, another thousand rebels attacked them! Only this time the Jurchens were wary, so the 1,000 rebels did not take any advantage.

On the sixth day, the Jurchens were attacked again by a huge rockfall from the mountain, but this time it was thrown down from the mountain by the rebel soldiers! Wanyan Sect sent people to chase and kill, but unfortunately they still didn't find the rebel soldiers!

On the seventh day, the Jurchens were halfway through the road, and the road in front of them was blocked, and it took the Jurchens two hours to open the road in front of them! Then in the afternoon, they were attacked by fire! The wild grass on the mountain has been half withered and yellow, and the fire is not big, but the smoke is so great that countless Jurchens have fainted to death!

Day after day, the ambushes continued, and the Jurchens walked for twelve days before they saw the plain ahead!

When he arrived here, Wanyan Zongwang breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're finally out! Hebei is ahead! Wanyan Zongwang said happily.

"More than 20,000 of us have died along the way!" Wan Yan Lou said.

"So many dead?" Wanyan Zongwang was incredulous.

"They harass every day, and every day more than a thousand people die, sometimes even more! Our morale is low right now! Wan Yan Lou said.

"Tell them we're in Hebei! Now Hebei is still under our control, and only a small group of Song troops from the south have entered! There are still hundreds of thousands of Liu Yu's troops in Shandong! We still occupy many places in the Central Plains, still enslave countless Han people, there are still Han army willing to be our lackeys, we will soon be able to open the road from Hebei to Yanyun, when our army rushes from Liaodong and the grassland, that is when we defeat all the Song army! The cunning Song army, they only relied on raiding Jiangnan, so they had such a situation, and their strength was far from us! Wanyan Zongwang laughed.

Wan Yan Lou nodded and began to comfort the soldiers, and soon there was a cheer from the Jurchen army.

"Ahead is Jingcheng County, where there are still 10,000 of our garrisons! There are still our garrisons in the vicinity of the Daimyo's Mansion, as well as countless grains and grasses, and I want to go there as soon as possible! Wanyan Zongwang said secretly.
