Juyong Pass is known as the first Xiongguan in the world, is located between the steep and continuous mountains, connects Lulong and Jieshi in the east, belongs to Taihang Mountain and Changshan in the west, the terrain is extremely dangerous, it is less than 100 miles away from Beijing, it is the northwest gate of the capital.

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da built the city here to defend against the Mengyuan counterattack, the imperial court continued to mobilize manpower and material resources in the past few decades, built perfectly, and built Juyongguan into a magnificent Xiongcheng across two mountains, thirteen miles on Monday, four feet high and two feet high, outside the main city, there are south and north Weng City, the enemy tower, the shop house, the beacon tunnel, the corner tower, the fort are readily available, forming a three-dimensional fortification of the upper, middle and lower three layers, which can accommodate more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to attack the enemy soldiers under the city at the same time, and the defensive power is several times that of the ordinary city tower.

Moreover, the impregnable Juyong Pass City, is only one of the links in the five defense systems from the south to the north, and there are five defensive fortresses in the fork city, Juyong Outer Town, Shangguan City, and Nankou, and the fortresses are connected by the Great Wall that is built by riding on the mountain, and is several zhang high, and the enemy towers, beacons, and shops on the Great Wall are complete, and after stationing enough soldiers, the enemy army has no gap to drill. In addition, the officers and soldiers of each city can be mobilized at will through the Great Wall, and they can support the war at any time.

At least in this era, it can be unceremoniously said that the Juyong Pass, where 100,000 troops are stationed, is a defense line that will never fall!

But the general soldier of Juyong Pass, Chengshan Marquis Wang Tong did not relax in the slightest, this veteran of the battlefield, deeply jealous of Wang Xian's invincible prestige, eat and live on the city, patrol the Great Wall day and night, and strictly urge the soldiers under his command to be on full alert, and must not give Wang Xianjun under the pass any opportunity.

"Master Hou, the enemy army has not moved in the past few days, you better rest, let us patrol." The generals on the left and right saw the old marquis's eyes dark and his face full of exhaustion, and they persuaded him to rest.

"I can't sleep at all." The mountain wind was fierce and bitterly cold, blowing the flags and hunting at the head of the city, and also blowing the old marquis's beard fluttering messily. "The more they don't move, the more worried the old man becomes."

"Hey, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Wang Xian's gourd!" The generals were also puzzled, three days ago, Wang Xian's army of more than 100,000 arrived at Juyong Pass, when looking at the army all over the mountains, the defenders were indeed scared into a cold sweat. Many even became deserters......

There is no way, the shadow of the famous tree, Wang Xianjun's soldiers can scare the opponent into peeing their pants when they go to that station. This is also thanks to the danger of Juyong Guan and the presence of Chengshan Marquis, the defenders can barely stabilize their positions, trembling and preparing to resist the attack.

Who knew that Wang Xianjun was not in a hurry to attack at all, but set up a company camp for more than ten miles in the open place outside the pass, and then sent people to cut down trees everywhere, and the construction in the camp was in full swing.

At first, Wang Tong and the others felt that it was normal, and it seemed that the enemy army was building siege equipment. It seems that Wang Xian is arrogant, and he also knows how powerful Juyong Pass is, and he doesn't dare to attack the city easily if he is not fully prepared.

However, three consecutive days have passed, and Wang Xianjun still has not attacked the city, and even the siege equipment has not been built...... Ju Yongguan was condescending, with an unobstructed view of Wang Xian's military camp, and he could see the situation inside clearly.

So what did Wang Xian do with the construction of the country? It was all used to strengthen the barracks, but I saw that in his barracks, the arrow towers were getting denser and denser, the camp walls were getting higher and thicker, and even women's walls were built. Outside the camp, a bottomless trench was dug, full of deer barricades, and horses were rejected, and it was a posture to be stationed here.

I don't know how Wang Xianjun's soldiers feel, in short, Wang Tong and the others who are on Juyong Guan don't understand how they think about it, and they are about to hold back their depression......

"Are they stupid? What is the use of cultivating the camp alone? Why don't you attack?! "Wang Tong's subordinates, now I really can't wait for it, the enemy army is attacking quickly, even if it is a river of blood, it is better than suffocating people to death like this.

"Yes, don't they know that the officers and soldiers of Datong will arrive soon?" A staff general pounded his head vigorously and said: "When the time comes, the army of the Duke of Cheng will be more than 100,000 soldiers and horses blocking behind them, and they will be trapped to death!" ”

"What the hell are they up to the task?" The generals of the defenders are going crazy.

It is said that if the enemy army makes such a stupid move and does not attack, the defending generals should be too late to be happy, but they look like they are worried and about to be tortured into a nervous disorder.

Just because, their opponent is Wang Xian. To this day, no one dares to think that Wang Xian will make a stupid move, even if he does have a stupid trick, he will be considered by his opponent to be his unfathomable strategy, and he will rack his brains to guess the true purpose behind him......

But it wasn't until two days later that Datong's reinforcements, led by Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, rushed to Xuanfu, converged with the army of Duke Chengguo, and blocked their retreat, and hundreds of thousands of Wang Xian's army still did not move.

At this time, even the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of Dingguo are all stunned, what kind of reputation does the surname Wang want to do? ! He doesn't know, he can't afford this war? The longer he drags on, the closer he gets to failure? Why don't you attack? Are you going to live in Badaling?

The three commanders were all confused, and Wang Tong managed to send people around Wang Xian's camp and send a letter to the two fathers, asking them to tentatively attack the enemy army and see what the opponent had in mind.

Xu Jingchang and Zhu Yong also have this intention, especially the latter, in an extremely humiliating way, Wang Xian killed most of the army, if you enter a no-man's land, if you don't atone for your crimes, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around after the war.

So, Zhu Yong personally led 20,000 troops to attack Wang Xian's army, the reason why he only brought such a few men and horses was that the mountains around Juyong Pass were steep and the passages were narrow, and it was useless to bring more soldiers.

When he arrived outside Wang Xian's military camp, Zhu Yong regretted coming to this trip, only to see that the military camp occupied a favorable location, condescending, deep trenches, and strict barriers, and was simply an iron hedgehog that could not gnaw.

However, he didn't have to go into battle in person anyway, so Zhu Yong gave the order to attack, and more than 10,000 soldiers climbed up the hill and began to attack Wang Xianjun's camp...... Before he could touch the edge of the trench, he was shot in the face by the fierce arrows and stones on the camp wall.

Wang Xian's military camp also set up a three-dimensional defense system, the camp wall, the women's wall, the arrow tower can stand people, the vision is very good, the attack does not affect each other, the three layers of shooters shoot arrows at the same time, the incomparably dense bullet rain bow and arrow killing is extremely amazing, a salvo will shoot two or three thousand officers and soldiers to the ground.

The officers and soldiers had never seen such a terrifying formation, and they were immediately frightened, and immediately turned around and ran, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Wang Xian's soldiers laughed, and many people shouted in dissatisfaction: "It's too fast! I haven't felt it yet! Lao Tzu only ejaculated! ”

"Don't run, have fun! I promise not to in your face! ”

Cheng Guogong, who was on the mountain in the distance, saw that his subordinates were so unhelpful, and when he heard the sound of the mountain wind, his angry nose was crooked, and he scolded: "Why do you get it around, it has become Lao Tzu's siege?!" Zhu Yong knew very well that he was riding 20,000 horses, and he didn't want to move Wang Xian's military camp, so there was no need to dry up in the cold wind, so he led the army back to the camp with a snort.

The military camp of the Xuanda Coalition Army, under the heavy tent guard, the largest and most gorgeous one is the handsome tent of Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo.

It is said that four years ago, Xu Jingchang was stripped of his knighthood because of the palace forcing incident and was sent to Jiaozhi to serve. But after only staying in Jiaozhi for a few months, he was allowed by Emperor Hongxi to return to Beijing to recuperate...... Although he is extremely culpable, he can't be worth the noble birth, his grandfather is the emperor's grandfather, and Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan who laid down half of the country for the Ming Dynasty! Lao Tzu is the emperor's uncle, Xu Zengshou, who lost his life for Zhu Dijing.

Since Xu Jingchang was assigned, his wife and his daughter-in-law have been crying in the palace all day long, asking Zhu Gaochi to send them both to Jiaozhi. Zhu Gaochi was annoyed and couldn't be angry with his aunt who watched him grow up, so he could only allow him to return to Beijing to recuperate on the grounds that Xu Jingchang was not accustomed to water and soil and was seriously ill.

Xu Jingchang lived a few years of leisurely life as a rich and idler in Beijing, and when Zhu Zhanji came out of the mountain, he was made the crown prince and took charge of the government. As the pawn who charged for Zhu Zhanji, he naturally recovered his title as soon as possible, and was also sent to Datong as the chief military officer.

The so-called three generations out of a nobleman, Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang is the grandson of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, just the third generation of the nobles, this grandfather is very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if he is wearing armor outside, the clothes inside must be smoked with ambergris, the whole body is dark and fragrant, and the soldiers will know when they smell that their grandfather is coming.

However, in this kind of day, Grandpa Xu will naturally not suffer from cold offences outside. In fact, it was said that he should go to Badaling with Zhu Yong to supervise the battle today, but Grandpa Xu stayed in the camp on the grounds that it was inconvenient to interfere with Chengguo Gong.

said that the high-sounding is actually his mother's fear of cold and tiredness......

In the grand tent, there are four exquisite warm cages in the four corners, which are burned with smokeless silver silk charcoal, and the heat fills every corner of the tent.

Xu Jingchang was dressed in a light coat, sitting on a comfortable Western leather-topped soft couch, holding a copy of "Huang Ting" in one hand and watching it with relish, and twisting a purple and bright Western Regions grape from a silver tray from time to time with the other hand, tasting it with relish.

On the low table in front of the couch, there is still incense, and there is a pretty Jiangnan courtesan sitting next to her, who is gently holding the pipa, chanting and singing, cheering for Grandpa Xu.

Grandpa Xu was enjoying himself leisurely, when the tent door was suddenly opened, and someone walked in with a cold wind.

Xu Jingchang frowned, wrapped the fur on his body, and was about to have a seizure, when he saw that it was Zhu Yongcai, he sighed and said, "Brother, it's not too late to go to the armor and change your clothes first." ”

"Hehe, I'm not as comfortable as you are." Zhu Yong threw away his helmet and raised his hands, and Xu Jingchang's maid stepped forward, untied his cloak and armor for him, took off his combat boots, and put on warm shoes. After going to the burden of the whole body, Zhu Yong leaned over to the warm cage, and while warming up the fire, he said enviously: "Don't look at the dukes, my brother can enjoy it more than me." ”

"Hehe, my brother has won the award...... Xu Jingchang despised Zhu Yong in his heart when he heard this, he actually looked down on these upstarts who were difficult to appease, even if he was in the second generation like Zhu Yong, he was still cheesy. But the arrogance of the aristocracy has always been only in the heart, and you can't see it on the surface. "It's just that you don't want to pay attention to it, and I don't want to settle."

"Exquisite, will, hehe, interesting......" Zhu Yong warmly turned over and walked over, and the singer got up and retired. He really didn't pay attention to it, and he sat on the stool that the singer had just made.

Xu Jingchang, who was watching, frowned slightly: "Let's change a chair for you." He never sat on the chair that others had sat on, let alone a lowly singer. Seeing Zhu Yong so unsophisticated, it made Grandpa Xu go crazy.

"It's not necessary, it's still hot, how comfortable ......" Zhu Yong refused with a look of enjoyment. (To be continued.) )
