Chapter 384: Guarding the Gate
At this moment, in the far north, it is the season of autumn rain.
It has been nearly three months since the Forbidden Army, the Huanqing Army, and the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army entered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in early May.
There are not many garrisons in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun themselves, and the total strength of their three armies is more than 200,000 people.
At the beginning of June, most of the sixteen states of Yanyun were conquered, and the forbidden army and the forbidden army of northern Shaanxi joined Yanjing City.
Liu Yanzong, the defender of Yanjing City, was a Han Chinese, and he did not resist at all, and directly opened the city gate and surrendered.
By mid-June, the sixteen states of Yanyun had been pacified.
After that, Li Xianzhong mobilized 150,000 troops into Shandong to attack Liu Yu's puppet army in Shandong, and it has been a month and a half now!
It's just that Shandong has a huge area, a lot of cities, and the number of Liu Yu's puppet army has reached 300,000 people, although their combat strength is limited, but it is difficult to defeat the entire Shandong in just one and a half months.
Now Li Xianzhong is still fighting in Shandong.
Yue Fei was standing on the city wall of Juyong Pass at the moment, looking at the scene below.
There was a light rain in the sky, and countless Khitan and Jurchen soldiers were holding cloud ladders to attack above.
In the middle of July, the Jurchens on the grassland mobilized a large army to come to Juyong Pass, they tried to defeat Juyong Pass, and then entered the Central Plains from Juyong Pass, and joined Wanyan Zongwang.
Yue Fei got the news from the grassland early, so he personally guarded here.
The rain kept falling, and the surrounding soldiers were already soaked, but Yue Fei's martial arts entered the Innate Great Perfection, and his qi was spread all over his body, and there was not the slightest raindrop on his body.
"Dashuai, these Khitans and Jurchens have been attacking for two days and two nights, and they haven't stopped yet!" Dong first came to Yue Fei and said.
"They want to knock down Juyong Pass and enter the Central Plains from here! It's ridiculous, they don't know how strong Juyong Pass is! I'm leading an army of 40,000 here, and it's hard for them to take this place down! Yue Fei said.
"The Jurchens seem to be much more heroic than before!" Dong Xiandao.
"They also know the current situation in the world! Understand that after we occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun, Wanyan Sect hopes to become a turtle in the urn, so they are desperate to attack Juyong Pass and want to enter from Juyong Pass! After all, it's the shortest distance from Chukyo! Yue Fei said.
You can go all the way down from Zhongjing to Juyong Pass, which is much farther away from Shanhaiguan and Datongdi!
Yue Fei looked down, only to see that many Khitans were driven towards it by the Jurchens, and countless bows and arrows fell on it, and a large number of Khitans were killed and wounded!
It's just that the Jurchens don't care about the lives of the Khitans at all, and they are still driving more Khitans towards it.
There are also Jurchen trebuchets below, but Juyong is locked in the mountains, and it is very difficult for trebuchets to be transported, so the number of trebuchets below is limited.
The trebuchets were also placed far away, and if they were placed too close, there were also trebuchets on the walls, and the stones fell, and the trebuchets below were smashed to pieces.
The sky gradually darkened, and at this time, the attack below suddenly became much more violent!
This time it was the real Jurchens charging upwards!
Knowing that their nation was facing a crisis, the Jurchens seemed to have regained their courage more than ten years ago, and they fought hard one by one to go forward one after another.
However, there were too many defenders on the city wall, and there were too many weapons guarding the city above, and the Jurchens could not take advantage of it at all.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the Jurchen and Khitan coalition forces were still charging towards it.
The Song army on the city wall was also very tired at the moment, and Yue Fei found Dong Xian and gave a few orders.
When 10,000 Song troops were withdrawn from the city wall, another 10,000 fresh troops came to the city wall.
"I'll leave it to you first, I'll go back and rest for a while." Yue Fei said.
Even though he is powerful, he is not an iron body.
Juyong Pass was so strong that it was almost impossible for the Jurchens to defeat it, so Yue Fei was able to take the time to rest.
From the Jurchen invasion to the present, he has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights.
Dong first agreed to come down.
Yue Fei came down from the city wall and walked towards a hut in front of him, and at this time, a young general broke over, it was Yue Yun.
"Dashuai!" Seeing Yue Fei, Yue Yun hurriedly saluted.
"I'll let you pay attention to the news in Datong and Shanhaiguan, and once there is news of Yanchang's invasion, report it to me immediately, is there news?" Yue Fei said.
"Nope." Yue Yun said.
"Then why are you coming to me now? It's so dark that you don't go to sleep? Yue Fei said coldly.
"Father, my lord, everyone is fighting bloodily, and I and my three thousand soldiers are now sleeping, how can this work? Let me ask you for them, when will we be able to go up and kill the enemy? Yue Yun said.
"Juyongguan is strong, and it is not at all that the Jurchens can fight! You and your 3,000 soldiers are resting for the time being, and I will naturally send you out if necessary. Yue Fei said.
"What is the necessary time?" Yue Yun said.
"Humph! Do I still need to tell you when I use soldiers? Yue Fei said coldly.
"However, we are afraid that we will not have a chance to fight." Yue Yun said.
"I'll give you a chance." Yue Fei was silent for a moment and said.
"Great!" Yue Yun was overjoyed.
He knew that his father had one thing to say and two things to say, and he would never lie to anyone. Since my father said that there was a chance to play, it meant that they would definitely play.
"Wait a little longer, and when the Jurchens are completely exhausted, you rush out and fight the Jurchens! Do you have the courage to do that? Yue Fei said.
"Yes!" Yue Yun was overjoyed and said.
"Now go to sleep." Yue Fei said.
Yue Yun nodded, and left happily at the moment.
"The only thing I'm worried about now is that Wan Yanchang set out from Zhongjing and attacked Datong! However, I have been sending people to pay attention to the news of the grassland, and there is no sign of Wanyanchang yet! I was originally going to wait until the situation in Hebei and Shandong was completely stabilized, and then lead a large army into Hedong to encircle the Jurchens in Hedong! However, if Wanyan Chang goes south to attack Datong, Wanyan Sect hopes that the inside and outside should be united, then Datong and Yanmen Pass may not be able to block it! This possibility is extremely high, and no one knows when Wan Yanchang will go south! The best way now is to force Wanyan Zongwang away from Hedong immediately, if he enters Hebei, even if Wanyan Chang goes south, there won't be much of a threat! I want to write a letter to Qu Duan and Wang Fang, asking them to force Wanyan Zongwang to leave Hedong and enter Hebei, and encircle Wanyanchang in Hebei! Yue Fei said secretly.
For Juyong Pass itself, Yue Fei didn't have any worries in his heart, like this peerless Xiongguan and Central Plains barrier, and with the 40,000 troops he personally trained to garrison here, and countless equipment and materials to defend the city, no matter how many Jurchen and Khitan coalition troops below were, it was impossible to defeat them!
"Your Majesty entered Jiangnan in February, and now it's almost August, and he's coming back soon, right?" Yue Fei looked to the south and said secretly.
He stood for a long time before entering the house, and then he first wrote a letter and ordered his soldiers to immediately send it to Datong, Hedong and other places, and then he rested.
******
The night rain is raining, and there is standing water everywhere under Juyong Pass!
The Jurchens were still lying on the water.
Jin Wushu looked up angrily, half a month has passed, and in the past half a month, they have launched several waves of attacks, but they have not been able to defeat Juyong Pass!
"Why is this pass so difficult to attack? It's harder than a city to attack! "The Golden Vulture said secretly.
When the Jurchens destroyed the Liao, they had just come to the grassland in the north of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the royal family of the Liao State had already fled and directly lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Jurchens, so the Jurchens did not attack this pass at all.
Now the Golden Vulture knew that this pass was difficult to attack to such a point.
"Fourth prince, our sons are very tired! It's been two days and three nights now, and if I continue to fight, I'm afraid that my sons and daughters won't be able to stand it! A commander came to the side of the Golden Vulture and said.
"Bastard, it's just two days and three nights! At the beginning, Zong Han led an army of 100,000 to attack Taiyuan City, and the siege did not stop for ten days and ten nights, and none of our sons were tired at that time! It's only been a few years, and you can't even hold on for two days and three nights! The Golden Vulture was furious.
"Fourth prince, those Khitans are reluctant to move forward." The commander hesitated for a moment and said.
"If you don't want to move forward, then kill!" Golden Vulture Dao.
"But there are too many people, I'm afraid that the Khitans will rebel! During this period of time, Khitan rebellions have often happened, although the scale is not large, but we can't help but be vigilant. The commander said.
"Well, hold on one more night! When the day is almost dawn, I will personally lead the troops to attack the city! "Golden Vulture Dao.
