Yang Zhi didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, just stared at the battle in front of him with his eyes breathing, and just muttered in his heart, "The front is just beating hard, and we are fighting hard, but now we are attacking step by step, which is right, but this is my merit!" Send me to the back to lie down, don't you want me, a person who has not made an inch, to achieve great success in the end? Straight lady thief, but I'm not afraid of making trouble! ”

In the end, I can only comfort myself, the Jurchen Tartars continue to increase their troops, blocking this line of defense, whether it is a strong attack or a slow attack, it is not an overnight attack, although it is not happy, but it is okay to go down and take a breath.

In the future, there will be opportunities for meritorious service. Although he said that, Yang Zhi still had some hesitation in his heart, what was the plan for this rush attack and slow attack? The army said that it was to respond to the Ulzhou Army, so what happened to the Ulzhou Army?

And General Xiao Yang is trying his best to rescue, if this is the case, the defense line here, it seems that the Jurchen Tartars are going to be strictly defended, we must not go west to meet the defeated army in Ulzhou, is this effort a waste?

As soon as the Ulzhou army is killed, what other means can General Xiao Yang come up with to save this situation? When Yang Zhi was in Yang Keshi's army, he never regarded Shangfeng as a thing, but since he entered the command of General Xiao Yang, all he heard was Yang Ling's miraculous victory along the way, and what he felt was the reverence of the soldiers around him for Yang Ling.

"I've been delayed here for too long, Gao Pet doesn't know what to do, General Xiao Yang, General Xiao Yang, what should we do?"

Yanmen Mountain, in ancient times, was called Gouzhu Mountain. Since Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao, Yanmen Mountain has become the dividing line between Song and Liao on Hedong Road, and it is also an important defense line of the Great Song Dynasty on Hedong Road.

Outside this mountain is the feudal guard of Datong Mansion, and the lock and key of Taiyuan are solidified, and the root is up to the three passes, and the throat is all Jin. Between the mountains, it can be used to enter the army only one way, Yanmen Pass, partial pass, Ningwu Pass control in the meantime, collectively called the three passes, for the world's well-known soldiers must fight for the important place.

After the Yuanyuan Alliance, Song Liao and Liao were reconciled for hundreds of years, and the border was rarely heard of beacon fires, and after a hundred years, several military states in the west of Hedong Road and Shaanxi Zhulu could be called one and were barely prepared. And even such a critical pass here has long been abolished.

After the maritime alliance with the Jurchens, the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty only concentrated troops and horses from Hebei Zhulu and pointed directly at Yanjing, but did not take into account the equally important states of Yunnei, and even the border defense here was not prepared.

In real history, Ulzhou, Yingzhou, Shuozhou, and Xijing Datong Prefecture north of Yanmen Pass all belong to the birthplace of the sixteen states of Yanyun. At the end of the fifth year of Xuanhe. It was nominally handed back to the Song people by the Jurchens, and although the Great Song Dynasty set up the so-called Yunzhongfu Road. But not a single official was sent north, nor was there a single soldier sent north.

When the Jurchens went south in two ways in the seventh year of Xuanhe, these Han and Tang hometowns fell into the hands of the Jurchens in a blink of an eye. Anyway, there were officials who set up guards, and as for the states in Yunnei, they didn't even have this move to cover up their faces.

And at this moment in history, Yang Ling stubbornly defeated the Yandi Prefectures, and with his own strength. Supporting the Jinyang Army to go north to the Hedong Road, it spread along the borderlands, successively recovering Shuozhou and Huanzhou, and facing the Yunnei Prefectures in the north.

And at this moment, Yue Fei is on the wall of Yanmen Pass, Yanmen Pass is actually not horizontal in the mountain road, but in the Tiebaoling Ridge to build a castle-shaped building, where the troops are stationed, the tiger looks at the mountain road under the feet, and the soldiers and horses are stationed here, and they can attack the enemy brigade marching along the winding mountain road at any time, as well as its indispensable baggage.

Ningwu Pass and Partial Pass, also generally choose the same terrain, the shape is also similar to the fortress, here the city, set up in the Tang Dynasty, at that time for the use of the Turks, in the early Song Dynasty and after a considerable degree of repair, the operation here is also like a golden soup, also called Yanmen Village.

At the most, you can ride two or three thousand on foot, reserve garrison equipment, grain and straw can support a year, the Great Song Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and Song Liao has fought a few big battles around here.

Between the valleys, you can still find the broken arrows, nearly a hundred years after the peace years, the former Xiongsai Yanmen Village has declined a lot, the original wrapped in the outside of the stone, have been dismantled for other purposes, revealing the rammed earth layer inside.

On this rammed earth layer, all grow shrubs and withered grass, in the Yanmen Village, the houses that could be used to store grain for the soldiers have also collapsed a lot, it seems that they have also gone through the fire, leaving a scorched black ruins everywhere, only some houses are still barely supported, there are some people living in them, but they are here in the mountains to farm and hunt, self-cultivation and self-eating, claiming to have the name of the soldiers, but the use of the army can not be sent.

Yanmen Village is deserted like this, but in the army establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, it is still in the register layer by layer, the three passes are inspected, the owner of the Yanmen Village, and even a number of commanders of the defenders, there are horses and steps, who is the commander, who is the head of the subordinate, how many horses are in the army, how much ordnance, how much grain is stored, how much war equipment is prepared, all of them are found in the books, and a considerable amount of due food and salary is occupied every year.

But to the field to see, but not even the book should have a hundred into the I'm afraid, Hedong Road elite soldiers, a large number of transferred to the west, participated in the decades-long war against the Western Xia, this book recorded on the number of soldiers and heavy generals, a large part of which is naturally empty, but there are also a lot of top on the front line of the Western Xia, over the years of institutional changes, long do not know where to belong.

It's just that the administrative relationship in the army is still hanging here, and what can be left to the Jinyang Army is such an empty mess, fortunately, there is also a Niu Gao, when the Liao State was changing, a large number of people from the north poured into Yanmen Pass, Niu Gao is to pick out the people who want to mix a mouthful of food, and the second son of the Gao family of the first family in Taiyuan Gao Pet was promoted from the army, Gao Pet is also a capable person, after the ancestor is still the founding hero, it really did not disappoint, and now the elite of this training has been sent to Ulzhou, I don't know what the situation is over there, and I don't know how General Xiao Yang is now?

Yue Fei stood on top of the somewhat dilapidated wall of Yanmen Village, stroking the rammed earth at the head of the city that had been hard as iron for hundreds of years, looking north, but there was no discouragement because of the desolation here, compared to the depression when Yang Ling left, his expression did not know how good it was, and he was full of high-spirited looks.
