Chapter 570: Northern Expedition (7)

The huge trebuchet group not far away from him was launched again, and the roaring sound of the huge twisted arm 'squeak' made Gao Yang frown. **

"That's it." Gao Yang tilted his head slightly, and said to the guards on the side, "The trebuchet can be stopped." "In the distance, the fireworks in the Songting Pass burned into the sky, and the black clouds were dense and went straight to the sky. There was really no need to continue setting fire to the troops when they had already stormed the walls.

"I really want to go up." Gao Yang pouted and said with some regret.

"You're now in command of hundreds of thousands of troops. It's not like it used to be with hundreds, thousands. As the main general, you personally go into hand-to-hand combat, how much does the battle situation have to collapse before you, the main general, can fight hard? The origin was angry and teased Gao Yang.

"Huh." Gao Yang laughed dryly. He really can't take the lead now, as he used to. Although he himself is not afraid of death, he is not even more worried about dying in battle. But his men didn't want him to do that. He's the Lord! Gao Yang can't tell them, I have divine power to protect my body, no one can kill me, right?

"Forget it, I'm just talking." Although he said this, the ** of the battle in Gao Yang's heart has never dissipated. Gao Yang secretly thought in his heart that when it was time for the decisive battle with the main force of the Jin Army, he must personally rush into battle and fight! It's a man who yearns for the battlefield!

The trebuchet has stopped projectiles. The Songting Pass had already turned into a sea of fire at this moment, and the air was full of the smell of gunsmoke, and it was extremely hot. Everywhere it was burning, and thick black smoke was reaching into the sky!

The victorious soldiers of the brigade climbed the city walls. Fight to the death with the already frightened, demoralized, and desperate defenders.

Arrows fly, swords flutter, spears like a forest. Lives are passing every moment, and the heads of the sergeants are swollen with endless blood mixed with the smell of burnt mush!

At this moment, the city wall of Songtingguan is already crowded with people. The Jurchen lieutenant saw that he was about to be broken, and he couldn't care about anything else. Roaring, he sent all his troops up in an attempt to retake the walls. But that's just wishful thinking. The victorious army, which has an absolute advantage in all aspects, has come up. How could he be beaten back by an enemy who was far inferior to himself? The fate of Songting Pass has been sealed.

The surging crowd was crowded into a heap on the not spacious city walls. The sergeants roared and roared, and their voices were hoarse and shouted with all kinds of inexplicable meanings. Everyone is desperate to stay alive. At this time, no one cares about anything.

Either you die, or I die!

The crossbowmen of the victorious army outside the city walls, and the defending archers who are still alive at the moment, and still have the strength to wield bows and arrows. Because they were afraid of accidental injury, they all chose the target behind the other party. Trying to cut off the other side's backup.

Sharp arrows like a violent rain pierced the sky with a sharp and whistling sound of breaking through the sky, stabbing heavily on the ground or on the flesh and blood of people.

If you look closely. It was easy to see that the rain of arrows in the sky was obviously flying more from outside the city to the city. As for the number of counterattacks in the city, it is very small, and it is impossible to see what effect it can have.

Besides, the commanders of the victorious army were all wearing heavy and sturdy foot armor and holding wide and heavy shields in their hands. How many arrows can a normal bow and arrow shoot through?

The most threatening ones, the small number of bed crossbows, and the speculation were destroyed early. It's hard to rely on the bow and crossbow alone to have any serious effect on these tin cans.

On the other hand, the armor worn by the defenders in Songting Pass was much worse. Most of the elites who were originally well-equipped had already been buried in the failed night raid. Most of the remaining defenders in the pass at the moment are wearing leather armor, or they don't have any armor at all! How can this equipment withstand the terrifying rain of arrows?

At this time, the Jin army was not the Jin army in history that broke through Bianliang City, plundered a large amount of materials, and countless skilled craftsmen.

Today, when the two armies of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan are almost completely annihilated, the battle armor in the Jin army is an extremely scarce rare material.

Most of the crossbows used by the Changsheng army are divine arm crossbows! This kind of cold weapon era can be called the top magic weapon, and it has played a huge role on the battlefield. Just get shot. That will almost certainly be shot through! Ordinary armor simply can't be defended.

The defenders of the pass were rapidly reduced under the baptism of dense arrows. The victorious soldiers who were besieging the city were barely affected, and they still poured up the walls like a tide.

The victorious side is fighting more and more, while the defenders are fighting more and more desperately. Eventually, as more and more warriors poured into the city. The defenders finally couldn't hold it anymore. They collapsed!

The walls of Songting Pass are now covered with dense corpses. There are so many corpses that there is no place to put your feet! If you want to walk through, you have to step on the corpse.

The crimson blood stained the entire city wall a blood-red color. The sticky blood pooled and even flooded the sergeants' feet. There was so much blood that it flooded the stone foundations of the city walls. Bobo flowed down the city walls. The walls on that side of the gate were dyed red.

Jiang Hu gasped for air. The previous extremely tragic fight exhausted the strength in his body. When the defenders were driven off the wall, he could no longer hold on, and leaned directly on the battlements of arrows to slow his breath.

A large number of armorers waved their weapons and chased down the steps. Many of the sergeants of the Changsheng Army, who were as tired as Jiang Hu, rested on the city wall or lay down. The battle. It doesn't have anything to do with them for the time being.

Gasping for breath, his hands and feet were still trembling slightly, Jiang Hu laboriously stretched out his hand to push away the mask, and took a big gulp of scorching air. His head was covered in sweat.

The fierce battle that broke out in the short time left him with all his strength, and at this moment he didn't even have the strength to take off the kettle and drink saliva.

After resting for a while, Jiang Hu, who had regained some strength, reached out and touched his chest. There was the amulet that his wife had asked for him before he set out on his expedition. Being able to survive such a brutal battle before, Jiang Hu felt that it was the talisman that played a role. It's purely psychological. He was protected by a well-made foot armor and a sturdy steel shield.

"I wonder how my mother and brother are doing now? Is life good? After surviving from life and death, Jiang Hu began to worry about his relatives in Bianliang City.

However, he only thought about it for a while, and he didn't worry too much about the lives of his relatives. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Gao Yang took care of the military family members very well.

Just when Jiang Hu was thinking about his relatives uneasily, a huge cheer suddenly came from the Songting Pass!

The gates of Songtingguan have been opened!

The breaching of the city gate meant that the offensive and defensive battle had entered the final stage. The surging incoming large number of victorious soldiers swept through the entire Songting Pass like a raging storm.

The remnants of the defenders no longer had any fighting spirit, and all of them abandoned their weapons and armor, and ran towards the back of the pass with a wild shout. They had collapsed, and now there was only one thought left in their minds to escape. As for everything else, go hell to hell!

It's just that where can you run to escape on just two legs? After the infantry soldiers cleared the pass, a large number of light cavalry rushed out of Songting Pass and followed, wantonly harvesting the lives of those routed soldiers.

The loss of Songting Pass was expected. The morale of the army, which had suffered a great blow, did not last long at all.

Although the Jurchen lieutenant general in Songting Pass led the defenders to make the last desperate resistance. However, in the case that the morale of the army has been greatly reduced, there is no backbone, and the elite in the city has been lost, it is only a matter of time before it is lost. I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

It was extremely important to capture this position, after opening the pass to the north. The morale of the victorious army was once again raised. All the sergeants believed that they would be able to achieve the final victory. Like those two General Huo, they left a strong mark in the history books!

Gao Yang didn't stay much here at Songting Pass. After a short day of rest, the army set off again and headed for Zhongjing. There, there is the last main force of the Jin Kingdom led by Wanyan Zonghan himself!

A few days later, when Gao Yang personally led a large army to approach Zhongjing, he suddenly received information that Jin Taizong had arrived in Zhongjing in person after completing his Yan Wu Qimai, preparing to command the upcoming large-scale decisive battle with the Changsheng army.

"Hahaha~~~" After learning the news, Gao Yang was really happy, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed. "Gone are the days of doing good deeds without leaving a name! Wanyan Wu begging is a really good person! "Gao Yang began to issue good person cards to Jin Taizong.

No wonder Gao Yang is so happy. Compared with Wanyan Zonghan, who has been through a hundred battles, has a calm personality and has outstanding wisdom. Jin Taizong's ability to finish Yan Wu begging is far behind.

When the Jurchens raised troops to destroy Liao, Wanyan Wu did not make any outstanding contributions. His level of military command was mediocre.

It was entirely because he was the younger brother of Wanyan Aguta, and he was able to inherit the throne according to the customs of the Jurchens. And he really doesn't have any outstanding abilities.

What's more, there are deep contradictions between Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, who has died. Today, when the power of Allah has almost completely disappeared, this army that has been in the hands of Wanyan Wu Beggars has become the last straw for the Jurchen clan!

It is reasonable to be reasonable, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, it is impossible for Wanyan Wu to hand over this last army to the hands of Wanyan Zonghan, who has no strength and has a deep contradiction with himself.

If you lose, everyone will finish together, and whoever commands will have the same result. After winning the war, if Wanyan Zonghan has any bad intentions and does something bad with the prestige of this big victory, then he will not even have a place to cry after Yan Wu beggars.

Since the results are all the same, how could Wanyan Wu begging to buy let go at such an important juncture? How many people who are emperors are not seriously suspicious? He would rather believe in himself than believe in Wanyan Zonghan, who has contradictions with him!

This is the Emperor's Mind Technique! (To be continued.) )u
