Chapter 298: Capture of Datong
"What happened?" The Jurchen young general staggered to his feet, frowned and asked.
At this moment, the general who looked like Zhang Fei also stood up, and his face was also full of confusion.
It's just that now there is a big chaos in the palace, there are screams everywhere, and those maids and subordinates are fleeing outside one after another at this moment, and no one pays attention to these two Jurchen generals.
The Jurchen young general already felt that something was wrong at this moment, and he strode outside, grabbed a maid who was running around like a headless fly, and asked, "What happened?" ”
"Your Highness spares your life! The slave doesn't know, I don't know! The maid fell to her knees and wept, and after a moment she rolled her eyes, as if she had been so frightened that she fainted on the ground.
"Damn it!" The Jurchen young general shouted angrily.
At this moment, more than a dozen guards came here, they were extremely fast, and their faces were extremely anxious.
"What happened?" Seeing the arrival of these guards, the Jurchen young general asked loudly again.
"Your Highness, it's not a good thing! The Han people are coming! The Han Chinese are attacking the city! A guard said.
"What? The Han people are coming? How did the Han people come about? How is this possible? The Jurchen young general was incredulous.
"Your Highness, it's true! The Han people are really here! The guard said.
"Haha! It turned out that the most incompetent Han people in the world came to Datong City! Just now I was thinking about how to plead with the fourth brother so that I could follow him south to join the war, and now the opportunity has come! Let's destroy these Han people first, and after making a war achievement, then we will go south! The Jurchen young general's face showed an expression of ecstasy, and said.
"Your Highness! The number of Han Chinese is extremely large! We may not be their opponents! The guard said.
"Bastard! The Han people are so incompetent and cowardly, any one Jurchen can kill dozens of Han people! Don't you know that we Jurchens are invincible? Now Datong City is asking for 10,000 of our Jurchen sons! It's easy to kill all the Han Chinese! The Jurchen young general kicked the guard aside and laughed.
He had never been at war with the Han Chinese, he had just heard that the Han people were unusually "cowardly and incompetent", and he looked down on the Han people in his heart! Therefore, when he heard that the Han people were attacking the city, he only had excitement in his heart and did not have the slightest fear!
"Your Highness! Get out of the way! Datong is about to be defeated by the Han people! The guard said anxiously.
"Nonsense! If you dare to say that, I'll kill you first! The Jurchen young general turned around and said fiercely as he walked forward.
He quickly left the place and headed towards the location of the city wall, followed by the general who looked like Zhang Fei.
And at this moment, the situation in Datong, as the guard said, is already in danger! The Great Song army outside may defeat Datong at any time!
******
Yue Fei led the army to a place fifty miles north of Datong during the day today, and he originally thought that the Jurchens in Datong City would definitely send soldiers to patrol the surroundings, and their army would definitely be discovered when it arrived! Who knew that I didn't see a single Jurchen along the way!
In just a few years, the Jurchens are really too degenerate! In Guanshan, because of the great pressure, the Jurchen soldiers there were still very cautious, often patrolling, and there were often small-scale battles on the border! But in Datong, it is extremely safe on the surface, and the Jurchen soldiers here are not willing to go out of the city to patrol at all! Especially in such a snowy weather, no one wants to be frozen outside!
It was only after dark that Yue Fei led the army to continue moving forward.
Two hours ago, Yue Fei's army came to a place more than ten miles north of Datong, and after arriving here, Yue Fei ordered the soldiers to dismount! In order to prevent the Jurchen defenders of Datong City from hearing the movement, they walked towards Datong!
As a result, when they came to the Datong City Wall, there was still no defense in Datong City!
The city walls of Datong were almost empty, and there were only a dozen patrolling soldiers to the north!
The 100,000 Song army did not have any warning, and the moment the soldiers patrolling above spotted them, they began to attack the city.
Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Zhang Xian and others personally led the army to charge forward, and at this moment, Yue Fei stepped on the cloud ladder and came to the Datong city wall.
At this time, many Jurchen soldiers had also come to the city wall to participate in the defense of the city.
Seeing Yue Fei coming up, more than a dozen Jurchen soldiers suddenly came towards Yue Fei.
Yue Fei was holding an iron gun, he didn't have any expression on his face, and as soon as the shot went forward, the gun qi was vertical and horizontal, and more than ten Jurchen soldiers fell to the ground screaming!
Seeing these more than ten Jurchen soldiers falling, dozens of Jurchen soldiers rushed over next to him!
"Today, I, Yue Fei, will go on a killing spree!" Yue Fei sneered, his body rushed into these dozens of Jurchen soldiers like electricity, only to hear the sound of "snort" continuously, and in a short time, these dozens of Jurchen soldiers also fell in a pool of blood.
Yue Fei stood alone on the city wall, surrounded by emptiness, and the rest of the Jurchen soldiers saw that he was so brave that no one dared to rush up.
"Bastard! Give it to me, kill that Han man! At this moment, there was a shout in the distance!
The Jurchen young general who was in the palace before finally came here, and the Jurchen general who looked like Zhang Fei also came here.
As the order of this Jurchen young general was issued, dozens of Jurchen soldiers suddenly flew towards Yue! In addition to these dozens of Jurchen soldiers, the Jurchen generals who looked like Zhang Fei also rushed over together!
"Han people! Death! Before you die, let you know the name of the general, and finish pulling out the speed! "That general who looks like Zhang Fei is Datong's deputy general, Wanyan pulled out quickly! As for the Jurchen young general, it is naturally the King of Zhao Wanyan Zongjie of the Dajin Kingdom!
"You're the end of the game? Your eldest brother will die in my hands! Yue Fei let out a long laugh!
The silver spear in his hand was pointed forward, and every time a Jurchen died!
At this time, Wan Yan pulled out of the sky and came to the top of Yue Fei's head.
The silver spear in Yue Fei's hand suddenly raised, almost invisible to the naked eye, and the silver spear had already passed through Wan Yan's chest!
Wanyan Ba kept screaming and struggling, his hands and feet were trembling, and countless blood was sprinkled on Yue Fei's head and face, and Yue Fei's expression did not change at all!
He jerked the silver spear up, and his body soared into the sky, and he didn't know where he had gone in the night! The screams of Wanyan Ba were getting smaller and quieter until they disappeared!
"How can it be so powerful? The Han people are so incompetent, how can they kill Wan Yan Ba and leave the speed? "At this moment, that Jurchen Zhao Wang Wanyan Zongjie is still in disbelief!
Yue Fei was unstoppable, and in this moment, many Jurchen soldiers who rushed towards him fell in a pool of blood again!
He is simply like the god of war, his fastness, fierceness, and attack efficiency have reached the peak of this era! He is a true genius, a military genius, a martial arts genius, and his talent is unparalleled! Every time he killed someone, his understanding of martial arts deepened, and he felt more and more that he was about to enter the highest realm of martial arts, the kind of mysterious realm that only Bai Qi, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Xue Rengui and others could enter from ancient times to the present! Once you enter that realm, you will be truly invincible in the world, even if you can charge back and forth in the midst of thousands of troops, no one can stop you!
Wanyan Zongjie's face has changed greatly at this moment, he has turned around and fled!
At this time, Yue Fei came behind him, the silver spear went forward, and with a miserable scream, Wanyan Zongjie also fell in a pool of blood!
******
After another half an hour, Datong City was quiet again.
It's just that the city is full of bloody gas, and it is unusually pungent.
Most of the Jurchens died on the city walls, and some did not know where they were hiding in the city. The Khitans, the new annexed army who were originally fighting with the Jurchens, did not have a few people involved in defending the city, and most of them were hiding in various parts of the city!
The people also hid in their own homes and did not dare to come out at all.
In the past ten years, Datong has suffered two military disasters!
The first time was when the Jurchens attacked the Liao State, and Datong served as the capital of the Liao State, and when the Jurchens invaded, half of the population of Datong was killed by the Jurchens!
The second time was this time, but this time the Great Song army did not break into the homes of the people! They did not burn, loot, and rape women like the Jurchens, but they quickly occupied important strongholds in the city, and then immediately began to cook and rest.
Yue Fei was standing on the Datong city wall at the moment, he was covered in blood, but he didn't wipe it or change into other clothes.
Liu Qi and Zhang Xian came behind him.
"Datong, it's finally back in the hands of our Han people!" Yue Fei said with an excited expression on his face.
"Yes, here is the Yellow River in the west, the desert in the north, the passes such as Fallen Horse and Bauhinia in the east, and the danger of Yanmen and Ningwu in the south, here is the gateway of Yanyun, the barrier of the Three Jins, the key to the north, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet been established, and it has been occupied by the Liao people, and it has been almost two hundred years! Now, this place belongs to us Han people again! This is where our Han people are in the clouds and Yunzhou, which has been famous since ancient times! From now on, we can't let this place be occupied by foreigners again! Liu Qi said with emotion on the side.
"Not bad! We can't afford to lose this place again! You can't lose Yan Yun again! Zhang Xian nodded.
"The soldiers are cooking, resting! They were very tired all the way here, so I allowed them to rest for two hours! General Liu, tomorrow morning, you will lead 40,000 cavalry south to attack Yanmen Pass! Zhang Xian, you led 40,000 cavalry to attack Daixian, Ningwuguan and other places! Yue Fei said.
"Good!" Liu Qi and Zhang Xian both nodded.
"Yanmen Pass, the importance there is by no means under Datong! After laying there, we will completely separate the connection between the Hedong Jurchens and the Northern Jurchens! It is difficult for the Jurchens in Hedong to go north! Yue Fei said.
Yanmen Pass, the status is extremely important!
If Tongguan is an important pass that determines the ownership of the Central Plains, and it is the place where soldiers and horses must fight for in the Central Plains civil war, then Yanmen Pass is the first pass that determines the fate of the Central Plains and the nomads!
During the Warring States Period, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, fought against the nomads in the Yanmen area and defeated "Lin Hu"!
During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops out of Yanmen Pass to the west, defeated the Xiongnu, and recovered the Hetao region!
During the Han Dynasty, Li Guang served as the Taishou of Yanmen, and fought many battles with the Huns here! Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi and others also fought against the Huns here.
During the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui served as the governor of Yanmen and blocked the Turks here!
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, this place still belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Ye fought with the Khitans in Yanmen Pass, defeated the Liao soldiers, and was called "Yang Invincible", and the Yang family will be famous all over the world.
It's just that after Yang Ye's death, it was occupied by the Liao State again, and after more than 100 years, this Yanmen Pass became the "inner pass" of the Liao State, and there was no war! When the Jin soldiers went south, this place was occupied by the Jurchens!
The importance of this place cannot be overstated, the ancient name is "the world's nine stops, Yanmen is the head", also known as "the three passes to be unparalleled, the nine stops respect the first pass"! In the past, it was the Han people who guarded inside, and the foreigners attacked the Yanmen Pass from the grassland! And this time, it was Yue Fei who ordered Liu Qi to lead the army to fight for Yanmen Pass, and Yanmen Pass was controlled by the Jurchens!
If Yanmen is defeated, according to Datong, Daixian and other places, the northeast of Hedong will be completely controlled by Yue Fei, and the Jurchen army led by Wanyan Zongwang will be trapped in the central and southern parts of Hedong, and it will be difficult to go north.
Hedong is where Shanxi is now, known as "the mountains and rivers in the surface" in ancient times, there is the Yellow River outside, there are high mountains inside, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The western part of Shanxi is where the Luliang Mountains are located, and it is basically impossible to cross the ancient traffic conditions, so in ancient times, the only way to enter Guanshan from the east of the river was through Fenglingdu or Longmendu. The eastern part of Shanxi is the Taihang Mountains, which is extremely difficult to cross, not to mention the existence of rebels. If Wanyan Zongwang wants to return to the north, he can either storm Yanmen, Daixian, and Datong, and conquer these places, so he can naturally go back. Either through the Taihang Mountains into Hebei, and then through the Yanshan Mountains into the north.
According to the judgment of the General Staff Headquarters, after Datong was defeated, Wanyan Zongwang stayed in the Central Plains as a foreigner, basically isolated from the north, and he would definitely be panicked and worried. The first choice made by Wanyan Zongwang must have been to go north to attack Yanmen, Daixian, and Datong in an attempt to recapture these places, and the pressure on Guanshan would be greatly reduced at that time.
Moreover, after Yue Fei defeated Yanmen, Datong, Daixian and other places, although he was going to go north, there was also the possibility of going south from Yanmen Pass at any time! Under such circumstances, the Hedong Jurchens will face the danger of being attacked from both sides of Datong and Guanshan, and it is impossible for Wanyan Zongwang to turn a blind eye and continue to attack Shaanxi.
Yanmen Pass is now also the inner pass of the Jin Kingdom, if Datong is not conquered, it is impossible to be invaded here! Therefore, the Jurchens did not have an embankment at all, and there were not many troops here!
On the third day of the second lunar month, Liu Qike Yanmen Pass held this Xiongguan in his hands! Zhang Xian took Daixian, Ningwuguan, Biguan and other places in one fell swoop, and the north of Hedong was controlled by Yue Fei.
