The Song army has arrived at the Yanmen Pass, the Song army will raise up and look, only to see that the mountain is steep, a male pass stands on the top of the mountain, the east and west mountains of this pass are steep, there is a road, circling and rugged, the top of the pass is absolutely placed, it is called the West Pass, also called the Yanmen Pass.

The siege of Yanmen Pass is built along with the mountain, the circumference is more than ten miles, the south end of the wall is connected with the east and west wings of the gate, the north side is along the ridge to the bottom of the valley, and the encircled place is open to the city gate.

And this pass, east of many passes, straight to Youyan, connected to the Hanhai, west to the other two passes, as for the Yellow River, now this pass is in the hands of the Liao army.

Zhao Kuangyin looked over from a distance, listened to the military Chinese scribe and the prosecutor, and saw Guancheng Hook and the top of the mountain wrapped outside the iron gate, but because the Song army and the Liao army that surrendered to the Song army had captured the rest of the passes in the eastern border, the role of Yanmen Pass on the Liao army had been greatly weakened.

Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Cui Yanjin, Dang Jin, Guo Jin, Kang Yanzhao, Zhao Zan, and Wang Quanbin were ready to attack Yanmen Pass, while Xiao Siwen came forward to defraud Yanmen Pass first.

The Song army basically won a big victory along the way, thanks to Xiao Siwen's prestige in the Liao army, and most of Xiao Siwen's troops were controlled by their own hands, and the Liao people regarded Xiao Siwen as a relative as soon as they met, so naturally they would not have thought that Xiao Siwen led the Liao army to surrender to the Song army.

The Song army fought steadily all the way, strengthened the city defenses in Feihucheng, Lingqiu, Ulzhou, Heishiling Fort and other places, and sent a lot of troops to be stationed along the Sanggan River, south of the Juma River, and a lot of troops in the north of Yizhou, just to prevent the rest of the Liao army from suddenly going south after hearing the news.

At this moment, stationed at Yanmen Pass is the privy envoy Yang Gon of the Southern Yuan, this person is the general of the Liao State, three long and five short, is a Khitan, when he attacked the Later Jin Dynasty with Yelu Deguang, he was given the name Yelu Enemy Lu, united with the Northern Han army in the battle of Gaoping, and fought with Guo Rong of the Zhou Dynasty and the current Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, but failed.

Yang Gon stood on the wall of Yanmen Pass, and saw the black army pressing over like a mountain, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

"Can you get in touch with Yunzhou?"

When Yang Gon sent it, he didn't hear much news, and the roads to Liao in the north and Youzhou in the east had all been cut off by the Song army, and the Song army was like entering a no-man's land, and the Liao army they were stuck in Yanmen Pass was almost lost.

"Our people have done their best, but they have lost contact with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, what should we do?" The surrounding generals were worried, "The Han people are no longer sheep, and now Daliao is still not at peace, Your Majesty doesn't care about our life or death, we are guarding Yanmen Pass for one more day, and we don't necessarily know what Your Majesty will reward, and now Your Majesty only knows how to sit on his throne and kill those courtiers and royal families who threaten his throne." ”

"The big deal is a war, who will assassinate the emperor of the Song Kingdom?" However, some Liao army soldiers shouted roughly.

Yang Gon shook his head and said, "I heard that Xiao Siwen has taken refuge in Zhao Kuangyin, and now he has become a lackey of the Song people, and assassinating Zhao Kuangyin is not so simple." ”

"So what?"

"Meet the enemy!" Yang Gon said coldly, and said directly, and then he walked out of the house in the gate, and felt that the wind was blowing around him, and he was not wearing a helmet on his head, and a wisp of white silk was blown everywhere in the wind, looking a little desolate.

The wind blew, and all the flags around Yanmen Pass had been blown by the wind, and Yang Gon and his Liao soldiers had all appeared on the city tower.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves, paces, and carrying heavy loads could be heard, and the valley mouth became clearer and clearer.

It was the Song army, it was the Song army who came, and there were troops wearing Liao army uniforms behind them, and it was becoming clearer and clearer in Yang Gon's sight, and he had already seen that the person was Xiao Siwen.

Yang Gon saw Xiao Siwen, and his heart was complicated, but at this moment, he couldn't wait to rush down from the city gate, and then cut off Xiao Siwen's head with a knife.

But reason prevailed over his dazed mind, and he had to stand at the gate and stare dryly.

The red flag of the Song army seemed to be burning in the air, and the golden dragon on the dragon-shaped banner on the banner seemed to be swimming, flying towards Yanmen Pass.

The generals of the Song army were also excited, and now they were getting closer and closer to Yanmen Pass.

The Song army unanimously believed that if Yanmen Pass was captured, it would open the passage for the Song army to go south to Jinyang.

The Song army has surrounded the Yanmen Pass, and the generals and soldiers of the Liao army above the city entrance are also standing on the city tower together, looking up, the Song army has put the ladders, rockets, artillery carts and other objects for the siege of the city in front of the army.

Yang Gon stood on the city gate, and his army also carried all the fire oil, sasswood, boiling water, stones and other things to the city, and was waiting solemnly.

Yang Gon did this and there was nothing he could do, he did this to delay time, if the Liao army reinforcements arrived, he could delay here for a while.

However, what made Yang Gon strange was that Zhao Kuangyin ran out of the Song army on a tall horse.

This made Cao Bin and the other generals pinch a cold sweat, and they said behind them: "Official, the front is dangerous!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and shouted loudly: "I'm fine, don't come here, I'm just talking to Yang Shu about the past." ”

"Official!" Gao Huaide immediately rushed out, dressed in a silver robe, the silver gun in his hand was already tightly pinched, and he followed behind Zhao Kuangyin.

"Don't worry about it, brother Tibet." Gao Huaide

"Haha, Yang Gon, we haven't seen each other for a long time since the first battle of Gaoping, have you been living comfortably all these years?" Zhao Kuangyin is still wearing the armor of the battlefield back then, but he has been used to the emperor's days over the years, and his figure has been a little blessed, but the spirit of the military general in his bones has not disappeared, and seeing the commander of the Liao army in the first battle of Gaoping, he is full of emotion in his heart, the fate in this world is really like this, and now one is the emperor of the Song State, and the other is the privy envoy of the Southern Privy Council of the Liao State.

"Thanks to Brother Zhao, I have been doing well all these years, Brother Zhao has been absent for many years, and has become the Ninth Five-Year Honor, but why do you want to lead the army to attack? Brother Zhao, as the Son of Heaven, should he just handle government affairs in Kaifeng, or don't come out to command. ”

Zhao Kuangyin pointed at Yang Gon and said, "Yang Gon, why don't I want to do this, but are you Khitans willing to stop?" ”

Yang Gon laughed when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "As a Liao person, you naturally have to think about the Liao people, isn't Your Majesty the same?" ”

"Prime minister, it's better to shoot the emperor with an arrow at this moment." The Liao soldiers beside Yang Gon suggested in Yang Gon's ear.

"No, I can't. If we kill that emperor, our army will really die in Yanmen Pass. ”

"The cardinal is not afraid."

"Shut up!" Yang Gon directly drew a knife and scared the soldier.

"Pivotal ...... You'll regret it. The soldier turned and left.

Under the city tower, Zhao Kuangyin sat on a horse, and he was running back and forth on his horse.

"Yang Gon, you have too few people in Yanmen Pass, and you are not the opponent of my Song people, I order you to open the city and surrender immediately, and all the soldiers of the Liao army who surrender will be treated equally." Then Zhao Kuangyin said, "I don't know if you have seen your comrades and old friends, after they joined the Song army, as long as they have merit, they will definitely be rewarded." ”

Yang Gon said coldly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, it's just that I, Yang Gon, am not that Xiao Siwen, not so great." After Yang Gon finished speaking, he still looked up to the sky and laughed.

Zhao Kuangyin drove his horse under the city tower and said: "Since this is the case, you can't regret it when the time comes." After Zhao Kuangyin said this, he immediately ran back to Song Jun's queue.

The generals saw that Zhao Kuangyin returned to the queue safe and sound, they were all in a cold sweat for the situation just now, the safety of the emperor is related to the safety of the entire country, in case a Liao army suddenly shoots a cold arrow, the Great Song Dynasty may be unstable.

Now that the Song army is under the Yanmen Pass, it is time to prepare for the siege.

After touching a cup of tea, the smoke of gunpowder had already begun at this time, and the Song army began to attack Yanmen Pass, and Yang Gon also asked people to hold on to the city.

Dense rockets flew around in the queues on both sides, like locusts flying in a dense row, and one life fell like this.

War is cruel, there is no right or wrong in it, only when it is strong can it not be bullied, and the victorious side is qualified to despise the other side.

The sound of slaughter shook the sky, it was a battlefield of blood and fire, full of charging soldiers, everywhere there were corpses lying in pools of blood, they could never get up, because death had just begun.

Under the city gate, the red tassels on the top of the hat flew like flames, merging into a sea of fire, which was terrifying.

Later, there are rows of dense crossbow arrows, flying to the city tower without interruption, and there are hundreds of stone throwers, gun carriages, etc., smashing hundreds of pounds of stone bullets to the city gate, city bricks, and city surface, the boulders fly down, splashing the smoke of the old high, and the wall of the Yanmen Pass is a little full of holes.

Yang Gon and the others are still stubbornly resisting and refusing to surrender......

The battle lasted for a long time, and Yang Gon was still commanding the battle at the head of the city, but the stone throwers of the Song army not far away were replaced, and even Yang Gon saw it for the first time.

This is the sharp weapon of the ordnance superintendent, and the red coat is big. Cannon, also called God Machine Cannon.

Its swarthy entrance has been raised, and the caliber of the bronze pipe has been aimed at the tall and straight Yanmen Gate Tower, with its potholed walls.

Under the order of Song Jun, the wire was ignited, and countless fires were fired. Ammunition. Maru flew towards the tower of Yanmen Gate.

In an instant, a huge thunder came, the earth trembled, and the boulder was torn apart. Countless large pits appeared in the place where the pill fell, black smoke and sparks were burning, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was very strong, even if the wind blew, it smelled a little suffocating, and everyone's ears only felt deaf, and almost all the soldiers on the scene could no longer hear the surrounding sounds.

The sudden situation made the Liao army very dumbfounded, and so was Xiao Siwen, and the city tower where Yang Gon was standing had completely collapsed most of it, and the fire was still burning, but Yang Gon had long since disappeared.

When the Liao army was not yet conscious, the artillery continued to fly.

A wall had been completely blown open, and the gate now looked half as it had been.

"Rush, we can rush in now." The Song army rushed towards the city tower.
