Chapter 44: The Fall of Tongguan

"Ahead is Tongguan City! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty is in Tongguan City, of course, our Jurchen army has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have fled! We must take Tongguan City as soon as possible, and then pursue all the way and capture His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty alive! The Golden Vulture held a large axe and said excitedly.

"Fourth prince, this Tongguan City is the first dangerous pass in the Central Plains, and it seems that there are a lot of garrisons here! We want to fight down, but I'm afraid it's not easy! A commander next to him reminded.

"Humph! The first danger is that it depends on who defends! Do you see the soldiers on this? What are they all like? Can such a soldier be compared to my Jurchen son? Jin Wushu said with a look of disdain.

The commander next to him was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Jin Wushu sneered, it's not that he looks down on Tongguan, it's really because the generals in Tongguan are too rubbish, which makes it difficult for him to pay attention to it! Now they only have 10,000 cavalry to the bottom of Tongguan, they have almost no siege weapons in their hands, but the Great Song soldiers above are trembling, he looked from afar, only to see that almost all the Great Song generals are pale, obviously extremely afraid!

"An army without courage, I can destroy it with a single move! Tell the order to go down and attack the city immediately! Jin Wushu said loudly.

"However, the fourth prince, Marshal Zuodu said, let's wait for General Yan Lou to arrive and attack Tongguan together, now General Wan Yan Lou has not yet arrived!" The commander next to him reminded again.

"Bastard! The war situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay! If we can't capture Tongguan as soon as possible, what should we do if the prince of the Great Song Dynasty fled to Sichuan? Take my orders and attack the city at once! There are slackers, retreating, and there is no forgiveness for killing! Jin Wushu scolded loudly!

*** ***

The snow was falling, and the Jurchens had no siege weapons in their hands at all, they just cut down some trees around them, and then used these trees to make simple ladders, and they used these simple ladders to attack Tongguan!

If it was the Han and Tang dynasties, this would be unimaginable at all! Tongguan, the pass that determines the fate of the world, what an important pass, how can a group of barbarians rely on a simple ladder to defeat it?

But in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, such a thing happened, and the Jurchens were full of confidence in conquering Tongguan, while the generals of Tongguan did not have any confidence!

These Tongguan generals are all Yao Gu's subordinates, and the leader is Yao Gu's cousin Yao Xiong! At this moment, Yao Xiong looked down, his face was pale, and his heart was terrified to the extreme!

"You say, can we hold on?" Yao Xiong said anxiously.

"General, the Jurchens are ferocious, their combat strength is unparalleled, we are not their opponents at all!" An adjutant next to him said.

"However, we are in the Tong Pass, which is one of the few dangers in the world, and we should be able to stop the Jurchens here!" Next to him, another general said.

"Hmph, the Jurchens have even beaten down the three towns in the north, can't they still defeat this Tongguan? If Tongguan can really block the Jurchens, why should that old thief be kind enough to give Tongguan to us? The lieutenant said.

"This ......" Hearing this, all the generals were speechless.

"General, what do we do now?" Adjutant said.

"I want to evacuate Tongguan immediately and tell the envoy the news of the Jurchen army's westward advance!" Yao Xiong thought for a moment and said.

The so-called envoy is his cousin, Yao Gu, the head of the Yao family's army, and now he is the envoy of Xihe! At this moment, Jin Bing had just attacked the city, and he already had a plan to escape!

"But are we going to just throw Tongguan away?" The one who spoke before said.

"You stay, defend Tongguan! I'll leave all the soldiers and horses for you! If you can prevent this, I'll give you a great credit! Yao Xiong said!

"Ahh The general opened his mouth and couldn't speak!

At this time, there was a sudden cheer from below Tongguan! Yao Xiong hurriedly led people to look down!

I saw a young Jurchen general without armor holding a giant axe and stepping on a ladder to move forward, the Jurchen general was extremely fierce, and there were constantly bows and arrows shooting from it, but he was picked aside! Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the city wall of Tongguan, a boulder smashed towards him from above! He roared angrily, and the giant axe in his hand slashed forward, and the boulder was actually smashed to pieces by him!

His body continued to move forward, and countless spears from above stabbed at him together! He laughed, and with a slash of the giant axe in his hand, all the spears were split in half! His body soared into the air and came to the city wall!

"Kill this Jurchen barbarian first!" Yao Xiong hadn't escaped at the moment, he frowned and said.

He thought to himself that this Jurchen was really too deceitful, just such a person dared to break into the city wall of Tongguan City, you must know that there are thousands of Yao family soldiers here, can't they kill a barbarian!

With his order, countless soldiers of the Yao family army rushed towards the Jurchen young general!

"It's good to come!" The young general is naturally the Golden Vulture Technique, he is extremely brave, and seeing so many soldiers rushing towards him at this moment, he not only did not have the slightest fear, but was extremely excited!

He felt the blood boiling in his body, and there had never been a moment that made him so excited!

He is the biological son of the peerless Jurchen male lord Wanyan Aguta, he has been destined to go to the battlefield since he was born, and he is destined to make great achievements for the Dajin country! Before him, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Lou and others had followed his father to fight in the east and west, when he was still young, and now that he has grown up, it is the time for him to establish meritorious deeds!

"From now on, there is only one name among the Jurchens that will resound all over the world, and that person is me—Wanyan Wushu!" The eyes of the Golden Vulture turned bloody!

Countless soldiers rushed towards him, and he roared and danced wildly with the great axe in his hand! One by one, Song soldiers were cut to the ground by him, his clothes, body, and hair were splashed with blood, and this blood seemed to completely stimulate the barbarian blood in his body!

He roared forward, it was supposed to be these countless Song soldiers to surround and kill him, but at this moment, it turned out to be him chasing countless Song soldiers to kill him!

Almost one move, or a few moves, when the strong wind was flying, I don't know how many Yao family soldiers fell in a pool of blood!

Within a zhang of his surroundings, not a single soldier of the Yao family army could stand at this moment, and all of them fell there! The soldiers of the Yao family army in the distance were already terrified to the extreme, they retreated one after another, and Jin Wushu roared that he was chasing and killing countless Yao family soldiers on the city wall alone!

"This ...... Is this still human? The Jurchen barbarians are so cruel? Yao Xiong looked at it and shivered!

That Jurchen barbarian's martial arts are very high, but this is not what makes him afraid, what he is afraid of is the murderous and aggressive aura of the other party who is indomitable and destroys everything! In his opinion, this is no longer a human, this is a demon god who broke out of the deep mountains and old forests! No wonder the Jurchens were able to dominate the world, it turned out that they had such a peerless general!

"General, we need to get out of here! You have also seen how powerful the Jurchen barbarians are, we are not opponents at all! The adjutant said in horror.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! We're going to get out of here! Yao Xiong said loudly!

He hurried towards the city of Tongguan, and many generals withdrew with him! The general who insisted on defending Tongguan before was also afraid at this moment, and he also retreated down with him!

Seeing that the main generals began to withdraw, countless soldiers also swarmed towards the bottom!

At this moment, the Jurchen soldiers had already climbed from the ladder to the Tongguan city wall, and they launched a crazy killing!

Fighting from the far north all the way here, their bodies are extremely tired, they should have needed to cultivate, but their race needs them to continue fighting, so they continue to fight! They use all their strength, they are not afraid of death, as long as they can kill their enemies before they die!

With such a desperate effort, how can Yao Jiajun be their opponent?

In just one hour, the important pass that once could determine the fate of the world has fallen!

Most of the Yao family army was killed and wounded, and the remaining more than 3,000 people were fleeing in the snow in a hurry, and Jin Wushu did not have the slightest rest, he didn't even leave anyone to guard Tongguan, and took all the soldiers and horses of 10,000 to chase and kill the remaining more than 3,000 Yao family troops!
