Chapter 172: Retaking Tongguan
The snow is falling, and the sky and the earth are white!
Even at night, you can see a faint white light!
The weather was unusually cold! On the one hand, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and winter has not yet passed, and on the other hand, the climate in ancient times was much colder than in modern times! Stay outside at this time, the cold wind can almost blow people's ears down!
But in such a cold night, more than 50,000 forbidden troops launched an attack on Tongguan!
Countless ladders were erected there, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army climbed towards them!
The Jurchen army is elite, even in the middle of the night, the forbidden army has just appeared, and the Jurchen army stationed in Tongguan has discovered them! Led by a Jurchen captain, more than 5,000 Jurchen soldiers came to the city wall to resist the attack below!
The name of this Jurchen captain is Wanyan Feng, he is already in his forties, and he is also the first batch of Jurchens to follow Wanyan Agu to fight! He has not systematically learned martial arts, but in the process of fighting in the south and the north, he has experienced countless battles, and he has already entered the innate realm! Even, his martial arts are not far from those Jurchen warriors, the only regret is that his wisdom is not as good as those Jurchen warriors!
Looking at the forbidden soldiers who climbed up densely below, Wan Yanfeng's face showed a trace of disdain!
"Some time ago, Chang'an City sent an envoy to say that the Han people had defeated the female general Wanyan Huo, and I would never believe it! Although Wanyan is only eighteen years old, he has been strong in martial arts and proficient in strategy since he was a child, and even Emperor Taizu praised him as a generation of generals! The Han people are nothing more than a cowardly and incompetent people, how can they defeat the female general Wanyan? Wan Yanfeng said secretly in his heart.
The so-called Emperor Taizu is Wanyan Aguda! Back then, Wanyan Huonu was once appreciated by Wanyan Aguta, which won great fame for Wanyan Huonu! Although Wanyan is not very old, she is already famous among the Jurchens! Wan Yan Feng, like other Jurchens, looked down on the Han people, so he didn't believe the news of Wan Yan Huonu's defeat at all!
Huge boulders fell on the city wall of Tongguan, and countless soldiers of the forbidden army were smashed to the point of bleeding! Countless soldiers screamed and fell! Seeing such a scene, Wan Yanfeng laughed!
Finally, a forbidden soldier climbed up, and in front of Wan Yanfeng, Wan Yanfeng sneered, and the sword in his hand was shot, and suddenly the head of the forbidden soldier was cut off!
Then several more forbidden soldiers climbed up, but they were all easily killed by Wan Yanfeng!
"Han people, incompetent people! Although I don't know how you came to Tongguan, but you want to conquer Tongguan City, that's a dream! Wan Yanfeng sneered.
However, at this moment, another cloud ladder was erected below! I saw a black shadow stepping on the ladder, and his body quickly rushed upwards! Almost a breath of time, he came to the halfway point of the Tongguan city wall!
This Tongguan is the most important level connecting Guanzhong and the Central Plains, the city wall is extremely high, he can come to half of the city wall in such a short time, it can be seen that he is very clever! Then I saw his footsteps move, and he got closer and closer to the top!
Wan Yanfeng was taken aback at this moment, he immediately stretched out his hand and pushed towards the cloud ladder, and suddenly saw the cloud ladder fall to the side!
"Haha, despicable Han people, go die!" Wan Yanfeng laughed.
It was only a moment later that his smile suddenly froze! The ladder below had fallen, but the shadow was still on the city wall!
I saw that the black shadow was holding an iron spear in his hand, and at this moment this iron spear had been inserted into the city wall, and it was this iron spear that held up his body!
The black shadow jerked out the iron spear, and his body flew up again, and when it was still a quarter of a distance from above, the iron spear in his hand moved again, and plunged into the city wall again!
Wan Yanfeng above showed a shocked expression, this person was able to climb the Tongguan city wall, which was almost the first level in this era, with just one iron gun, which was simply incredible! He has never heard of such martial arts, and he has never seen it!
"Damn it!" Wan Yanfeng snorted coldly, suddenly picked up a boulder next to him, and smashed it towards the black shadow below!
He is a congenital master, and his power is extremely great!
Seeing that this boulder is about to fall on the body of the black shadow!
Suddenly, the black shadow slapped into the air with a palm!
A huge palm print appeared in the sky, and then I heard a loud "boom", and the boulder was smashed by the smash!
The black shadow's body flew up again, and then I saw a fierce spear qi heading towards Wan Yanfeng!
Wan Yanfeng violently reached out and took this shot with a knife, but the internal force contained in this shot was too strong, and Wan Yanfeng's body involuntarily took a step back!
The black shadow came with another shot, and Wan Yanfeng took another step back!
When the third shot of the black shadow came, Wan Yanfeng suddenly stood there! There were no scars on his body, but blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth, his face was gradually pale, and his eyes lost their look! It turned out that after three shots, Wan Yanfeng's internal organs had been shattered, although there were no scars on the outside, but the whole person was completely dead!
The black shadow is Yue Fei!
Yue Fei came to the city wall, without the slightest stop, the iron spear in his hand kept shooting!
In a moment, a large number of Jurchen soldiers fell on the city wall!
The soldiers of the forbidden army below are constantly climbing up!
Gradually, the number of forbidden troops is increasing, and they have an overwhelming advantage over the Jurchens!
The Jurchens are known as "invincible", but this mainly refers to the strength of the Jurchen cavalry! They dismounted from their horses and participated in the defense of the city, although they were still strong, but they were definitely not "invincible"!
At this moment, the Jurchens are constantly falling, and there are screams everywhere!
After an hour, the walls gradually fell silent! The forbidden army has finally captured Tongguan!
Yue Fei stood on the wall of Tongguan, excited and emotional!
He still remembers the scene when he followed Zhao Chen here two years ago, when Zhao Chen was still a child, this was still a bargaining territory, and they were still under house arrest! No one knew what the future would hold! In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, Zhao Chen really holds the power of the country, and he Yue Fei has become the commander of the forbidden army and led the army to recapture here!
Once Tongguan is recaptured, it will be extremely difficult for the Jurchens to send a large army into Guanzhong!
"Leave 10,000 people to garrison Tongguan, and the rest will follow me to Chang'an and take Chang'an in one fell swoop!" Yue Fei took a big breath and said suddenly!
The reason why they attacked Tongguan first was mainly to cut off the connection between Guanshan and the Central Plains, so that the golden soldiers of the Central Plains could not enter Guanshan through Tongguan! At this moment, their goal has been achieved, Chang'an City has become a lonely city, and they can slowly clean up Chang'an City!
******
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month has arrived, and in the early morning of this day, there was a sudden rumbling war drum under the city of Chang'an!
Hearing this war drum, the Jurchens and Khitans in Chang'an City were taken aback, and they immediately transferred their soldiers to the city wall to prevent the Song army from attacking!
It's just that the drums have been beating for a long time, and the Song army still hasn't attacked!
In the sea of faces, Yelu Yu is standing on the city wall at this moment!
Wan Yan Haili said: "What are the Han people doing? ”
Yelu Yu sneered and said, "The Han people are bluffing!" Generals, don't be afraid! ”
Wan Yanhaili nodded, and said in a mocking tone: "The Han people are so incompetent! If we were Jurchens, with ten times the number of soldiers and horses as the enemy, we would have launched an attack a long time ago, where would there be ink below! ”
Yelu Yu showed a flattering smile on his face, and said: "The Jurchens are invincible in the world, naturally they are not comparable to the Han people!" ”
Wan Yanhai laughed and said, "General Yelu, I'll leave it to you here!" I'm going to get some sleep again! ”
When Yan Haili said goodbye and left, don't mention it!
Yelu Yu stood on the city wall for a while, and saw that the Song army really had no intention of attacking the city, so he also yawned at the moment, and left the city wall to rest in a surrounding house, not to mention!
By noon, the drums were beating again! Along with the sound of drums, there were countless Song troops, and at this time, the Song army had already prepared cloud ladders, and countless weapons such as stone throwers and siege engines were erected!
Wanyan Haili and Yelu Yujian were called over again, and when they saw the posture of Song Jun below, both of them were taken aback!
Seeing that the Song army was getting closer and closer to the city wall, the two immediately ordered the Jurchen and Khitan soldiers to get ready!
However, they waited for an hour, and the Song army still did not attack!
"What are Han people doing here?" Wan Yanhai was a little angry.
"It must be the emperor of the Han people urging, and the Han generals have no choice, so they have to attack! It's just that the Han people have always been timid as mice, so they just pretend to show their emperor! Jeruyu said.
"Damn the Han Chinese! Ignore them! Wan Yan Haili said.
So the afternoon passed! Although the Song army did not attack, the Song army gathered in large numbers below, and the Jurchens and Khitans above did not dare to relax!
It was already a little dark, and at this time, the shouts of killing rang out, and the Song army finally launched an attack!
It's just that this time the scale of the attack was extremely limited, and the Song army retreated after dropping hundreds of corpses!
Wanyan Haili and Yelu Yujian heard that the Song army was attacking the city, and they had already arrived at the first time! As a result, by the time they arrived, the Song army was already gone!
"These Han people are really ridiculous!" Wanyan couldn't cry or laugh in the sea, and said.
"After all, the Han people are just trying to deceive their emperor! They are Han Chinese, and they are weak by nature, so we don't have to worry! Jeruyu said.
"That's right! General Yelu, it's getting dark at night, let's go back to the bar! Wan Yan Haili said.
"Good!" Yelu was overjoyed!
The Jurchen and Khitan soldiers on the city wall were "harassed" for a whole day, and they were disdainful and exhausted at the same time! Coupled with the unusually cold weather now, gradually there are fewer and fewer Jurchen and Khitan soldiers on the city wall, and most of them have hid in the surrounding rooms and lie down to sleep!
Time passed slowly, it was already midnight, and at this time, an army appeared in the east of Chang'an City! This army was mixed in with the Song army! The Jurchen and Khitan soldiers in the distance didn't see the situation here at all!
Another hour passed, and in silence, the Song army began to move!
This time, a whole 100,000 people raised the ladder and headed towards Chang'an City from all directions!
