The left side of the mountain road is a steep rocky mountain, but above the rocky mountain is a relatively low mountain, the hundred soldiers of Shuanglong are hiding on the mountain, it is difficult to climb the mountain from the east of Niangzi Pass, but there is a road leading to Guancheng to the west of Guancheng, and you can go up the mountain through the Great Wall in Guancheng.

Yan Qing trotted all the way with two soldiers, and soon joined the village soldiers, Yan Qing whispered to Guan Sheng: "I'm going to drop the earth-shattering thunder, the impact will be very strong, let the brothers cover their ears and lie on the mountain beam." ”

Guan Sheng looked at the iron bumps in the arms of the two soldiers like big winter melons, and said in surprise: "This thing is also a firearm?" ”

"This is the most powerful firearm, big brother is waiting to see a good show!"

Guan Sheng saw the power of the iron fire and thunder with his own eyes, he didn't dare to be careless, and shouted: "Everyone cover their ears and find a place to lie down!" ”

The soldiers of the village fell down one after another, covering their ears with their hands, Yan Qing's target was not the hundreds of soldiers attacking under his feet, his target was the main force of the enemy cavalry a hundred steps away, he took two soldiers to run all the way along the mountain beam, over a big rock, there was no road ahead, Yan Qing and the three of them could only crawl forward.

Soon, the three of them climbed up a huge mountain rock, more than ten zhang below the mountain rock is where the main force of the golden soldiers is, all the golden soldiers, including the commander Pucha, did not notice the abnormality above their heads, they were all watching the actions of the forward soldiers with full attention.

At this time, hundreds of Jin soldiers had already pushed the second mud wall down the cliff, and several soldiers were sweeping the thistle thorns on the ground, although they also paid the price of dozens of casualties, they still succeeded in clearing the second obstacle, which really made the Jin soldiers behind feel excited.

Pu Cha had already found that there were not many Song soldiers ambushing them, only a hundred at most, but they occupied a favorable position, as long as the obstacles were cleared, the cavalry could rush through the Guancheng in front and launch a counterattack against the Song army from the back.

Yan Qing had already appeared above the head of the main force of the Jin soldiers, he hooked a protruding stone with his legs, and slowly leaned down, he could clearly see the dense cavalry group below.

Yan Qing retracted and waved his hand, the two soldiers ignited the lead of the earth-shaking thunder with a fire fold, and slowly pushed it to Yan Qing, Yan Qing hugged the fifty-pound earth-shaking thunder, and slowly leaned out again, the two soldiers were extremely nervous, and grabbed the leader's legs and ankles, lest he fall.

Yan Qing struggled to hold the heavy earth-shaking thunder with both arms, gritted his teeth and persevered, looking at the sky-shaking thunder lead burning to the mouth of the pot, according to experience, when the lead burned to the mouth of the pot, the trebuchet must be launched, when the earth-shaking thunder flew out of about two hundred to two hundred and fifty steps, it would explode when it landed, but he was only a dozen zhang away from the enemy army below, and he had to wait a little longer, so as not to be thrown off the cliff by the enemy in time for the earth-shaking thunder explosion.

The lead has already burned into the mouth of the pot, the earth-shattering thunder will explode at any time, Yan Qing is facing a great danger of being crushed, the faces of the two soldiers are white with fright, their legs tremble, and they shouted in a low voice: "General, throw it away!" ”

Yan Qing gritted her teeth for a few seconds, 'Three, two, one!' As soon as he let go of his hand, the earth-shattering thunder fell straight up the mountain road, and the two soldiers struggled to pull Yan Qing back, and the legs of the three were weak, and they tightly covered their ears and curled up together.

The earth-shattering thunder exploded violently a foot above Jin Bing's head, and the earth-shattering explosion echoed in the valley, and a huge thick smoke rose into the air, although Guan Sheng and his men covered their ears, the violent explosion still made their hearts burst, and everyone closed their eyes in pain, waiting for the torment to go away.

After a while, the sound of the explosion disappeared, only the sorrow and neighing of the war horses were heard, Guan Sheng and Hua Rong slowly looked into the distance, the situation in the distance was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, only to see that at least twenty zhang of the dense cavalry group disappeared, the cavalry in the rear was in chaos, the greatly frightened war horses struggled, neighed, desperately jumped off the cliff, the cavalry was constantly retreating.

Under the moonlight, the mountain road was full of minced meat and corpses, and the corpses of soldiers and war horses were mixed together in a blur of flesh and blood, piling up all over the mountain road, and hundreds of forward soldiers were frightened and scattered, turning around and running back, the mountain was also blown loose, and the earth was falling in a flutter.

This earth-shattering thunder exploded right above the head of the commander Pucha, blowing Pucha to pieces, killing hundreds of people within a radius of 20 zhang, and nearly 100 soldiers followed the frightened horses and fell down the cliff.

The two commanders were killed one after another, and the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry were frightened, turned their horses' heads and retreated in the direction of Tumen Pass, until three days later, 20,000 Jin cavalry arrived at Niangzi Pass again.

At this time, the Niangzi Pass had been completely blown up by the Song army, and the mountain rock was also blown up, and the poured down gravel and mud blocked the mountain road more than 20 zhang long, blocking the westward road of the Jin soldiers, and it took the Jin soldiers two days to clear the passage, which won valuable time for the defense deployment of Taiyuan.

．．．．．．．

On the second day after Li Yanqing was stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture, he issued a war mobilization order to the people of Taiyuan City, and at the same time demanded that all the people of the seven counties of Taiyuan Prefecture be evacuated, these places will be affected by the war, once the war to defend Taiyuan continues, Taiyuan City will be ruthlessly destroyed by the war within a radius of 100 miles, and 300,000 people have been evacuated into Taiyuan City before, but there are still more than 200,000 people who are unwilling to evacuate their homes.

Under the mobilization of the government, more than 200,000 people in the seven counties of Taiyuan Prefecture began to help the old and the young to evacuate to Taiyuan City and the surrounding states, not only the population, but also all the grain, money and goods of the county government had to be transported back to Taiyuan City, and the retreat took seven days to enter the end, and at the same time, a large number of grain and materials from the warehouse of Jinning County were also transported to Taiyuan City.

The population of Taiyuan City has reached 1.2 million people, and it has become very crowded, not only that, but all the houses within 100 steps of the city wall must be demolished, which makes the living conditions in the city even worse, Li Yanqing issued an order to equalize the houses, and the government first recognized the property rights, but the residents in the city can only live in three rooms at most, and all the other houses are given to refugees to live in, and large families can keep the back houses, but the front yard and the atrium must be given up.

Inns, foot shops, green buildings, and brothels were all closed, rooms were cleared out, and warehouses, monasteries, and Taoist temples were also arranged to accommodate the population.

Li Yanqing was scolded by countless families, but under the forced order, nearly 500,000 refugees were properly resettled, making the city crowded but still orderly.

The second order issued by Li Yanqing was the Recruiting Order, calling on the young and strong men in the city to stand up and defend their homes, but this order received an enthusiastic response from the city, and 80,000 young and strong men were recruited in just three days.

The 80,000 men were divided into two parts, of which 30,000 able-bodied men were trained to defend the city, while the remaining 50,000 were used for logistical support.

The wide Jinyang Street has become a temporary training ground, 30,000 people are divided into 300 teams, are in line for training, the weather is very hot, the people wearing leather armor sweat like rain, holding spears and knives to stab and slash, their instructors are experienced veterans, will teach them practical fighting martial arts and basic combat skills.

Under the maintenance of more than 100 personal soldiers, Li Yanqing inspected all parts of the city, from Jinyang Street to under the city wall, and it was also very lively here, 50,000 people were demolishing the houses along the city wall, and the houses within 100 steps from the city wall were to be demolished, and the city wall was full of rubble and mud, and a group of people shouted slogans, and smashed the ruins and broken walls with huge logs, and some old people with bags were looking for valuable items in the rubble.

At this time, a soldier came running to report: "Qiyu Dutong, General Yan is back!" ”

When Yan Qing came back, Li Yanqing was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"Rest on the East Side!"

Li Yanqing turned his horse's head and ran towards the east city gate, and after a while, Li Yanqing came to the east urn city, only to see Yan Qing sitting on a big stone to rest and drink water, and there was also a large group of people sitting around him, in addition to fifty scouts, there were more than one hundred and fifty men, women and children wearing cloth armor, they gathered together, looking at the surrounding city wall uneasily.

"It's all here!"

Someone shouted, Yan Qing hurriedly jumped off the boulder, and two burly men stood beside him.

"It's you!"

Li Yanqing suddenly recognized these two men, who turned out to be Guan Sheng and Hua Rong, the old generals of Liangshan, although the years passed, their appearance became a little haggard, and their clothes were slightly ragged, but their eyes were still bright and sharp, and it was difficult to hide their brave temperament.

Guan Sheng and Hua Rong glanced at each other, and the two of them stepped forward quickly and bowed together, "See the capital system!" ”

Li Yanqing reacted immediately, patted the arms of the two of them, and said with a smile: "I also sent someone to Zhaozhou, Hebei Province to look for you, but I didn't expect you to be on Hedong Road, needless to say, Yan Qing must get your assistance!" ”

Yan Qing walked over and said with a smile: "The commander is right, thanks to their help this time, he was able to intercept the Jin cavalry in Jingcheng." ”

"Good! You are also here to participate in the great cause of resisting gold, and I warmly welcome you on behalf of Jing Zhaojun! ”

Guan Sheng and Hua Rong were moved in their hearts, and the two knelt down on one knee and hugged their fists and said: "Mengdu will not give up, Guan Sheng and Hua Rong are willing to serve the dogs and horses for the capital!" ”

"Two generals, please hurry up, Jing Zhaojun will definitely give you a chance to display your talents."

Li Yanqing ordered his own soldiers to arrange Guan Sheng and Hua Rong's men, and then took them to the city to sit down, Yan Qing reported to Li Yanqing in detail about the situation of the battle of Jingcheng, Li Yanqing approving: "Thanks to your hard work, I have bought precious time for me, and this time you have made a great contribution." ”

The three of them were overjoyed, and Li Yanqing asked again: "I want to know, when will the 20,000 Jurchen cavalry be able to kill Jingcheng?" ”

Yan Qing thought for a while and said: "Niangzi Pass and Jingcheng Pass have both been blown up by the lowly position, it will take them four days just to clear the roadblocks, and they will have to walk for another two days on the road, and now three days have passed, and it is estimated that they will be able to get out of the well in three days at the latest." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, then turned back to Zhang Hu and asked, "Has General Han Shizhong already notified the withdrawal of troops?" ”

Zhang Hu hurriedly said: "Qiyu is the capital, yesterday I have sent an eagle letter to inform them to withdraw the army!" ”

Li Yanqing explained to the three again: "Guo Yaoshi's 30,000 troops have been killed from Feihu Road, and two battles have broken out with Han Shizhong's 20,000 border army, and now Guo Yaoshi's army has returned to Feihu County, since the enemy army is going to be killed from Jingcheng, so General Han Shizhong must also retreat." ”

At this time, Guan Sheng cautiously asked, "How is the battle situation in Hebei now?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I can only tell you, it's very not optimistic!" ”
