Xiangyang, once known as Xiangfan, is located in the hinterland of China, guarding the upper reaches of the Han River, and is an important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Although Xiangyang never became the capital of the emperor; However, it has won ten miles of scenery by borrowing a river of spring water, taking in the beauty of mountains and rivers outside, and winning the victory of humanity inside, so it has been evaluated by a large number of modern experts and scholars such as Jin Yong and Feng Jicai as "a famous landscape city in the hinterland of China".

Xiangyang is a treasure of heaven and a brilliant person. In the historical process of more than 2,000 years of establishment, it has raised a generation of famous ministers Zhuge Liang Wolong, the famous scholar Pang Tong Fengxiao of the Three Kingdoms, the hermit of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Mr. Sima Hui Shuijing, the great poets of the Tang Dynasty Meng Haoran, Meng Xiangyang, Zhang Ji, Du Xianyan, the writer Pi Rixiu, the famous calligrapher and painter Mi Fu Mi Xiangyang of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu of the "Yunguan Hundred Kings", and the Oriental sage Shi Dao'an and a large number of historical and cultural celebrities.

Ancient Xiangyang has always been a battleground for soldiers. In the history of more than 3,000 years, it is difficult to count the battles and battles. Famous examples include the Battle of Yancheng in Baiqishui, the Battle of Guan Yu Flooding the Seventh Army, the Battle of Zhu Xu's Resistance to Fu Pi, the Battle of Xiangyang in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Battle of Li Zicheng's Invasion and Occupation of Xiangyang, and the Battle of Xiangfan in the Modern War of Liberation, and so on.

In the third year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei's battle to recover Xiangyang was imminent

Yingzhou was conquered, Yue Fei did not stay longer, the first time the troops were divided into two routes, by Zhang Xian, Xu Qing to the east to capture Suizhou, Yue Fei himself led the main force to take Xiangyang, and the puppet Qi general Li Cheng decisive battle.

The situation of Yue Jiajun at that time was not optimistic.

First of all, Xiangyang City has the tallest and strongest city wall in the Huai River Valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Secondly, Li Cheng has 100,000 troops under his command, and he has a great advantage in numbers.

Other than that. Yue Fei also received bad news halfway: the battle situation in Suizhou was very stalemate. Zhang Xian's troops were unexpectedly dragged down.

This was a serious threat to the Yue family's army, which was already underwhelmed. Over the past few years, Zhang Xian has become one of the strongest generals under Yue Fei's command, and if he makes any mistakes, it will shake the morale of the Yue family's army.

Yue Fei was still hesitating to clean up, and there was one person who took the initiative to ask for battle, and he was Niu Gao.

Yue Fei's original intention was to let Yang Zaixing go, because Yang Zaixing's martial arts and experience were second to none; But Niu Gao then threw two conditions to Yue Fei, which made Yue Fei feel very satisfied. So he agreed to Niu Gao's request to fight.

What conditions did Niu Gao put forward to make Yue Fei change his mind?

Niu Gao only said two sentences: first, the military situation is urgent, I only bring three days of military rations, and I will be in Suizhou before the food is exhausted; Second, I am willing to make a military writ and pledge it with a head around my neck.

Everyone knows that Yue Fei's military orders are like mountains, and as soon as the military orders are established, there is no affection between the brothers

Yue Fei allocated three days' marching rations to Niu Gao, and ordered him to set off on the day and succeed as soon as possible.

Then the news came. The whole army was shocked. Niu Gao took less than two days, that is, in addition to the time spent on the march on the road. Almost the same day, he rushed to Suizhou and immediately conquered this city!

What the hell is going on with this Niu Gao, he is much stronger than Zhang Xian! Niu Gao's performance this time completely subverted everyone's previous impression of him.

What makes people feel even more strange is that Niu Gao has not only improved his martial arts by leaps and bounds, but also his temperament has become modest. While holding the pseudo-Qi Suizhou Zhizhou back to the camp to hand over the order, he said very generously: "Everyone serves the country together, why do you care whose credit it is......"

"Three Dynasties and Northern Alliances" Volume 159: Chu Yue Fei ordered Zhang Xian to lead troops to attack Suizhou, and he couldn't go down to Niu Gao for more than a month, but he wrapped three days of food and everyone laughed, and the food was not exhausted, and the city pulled out to push its merits and constitution. And said: My heart, the national affairs, the ear, the merits, why fight for the gentleman, the more Gao, the pseudo-Zhizhou, Wang Song, sent Xiangyang Mansion to Ling Chi to be beheaded

Regarding Niu Gao's humble and gentlemanly behavior, the soldiers of the Yue family army who participated in the Battle of Suizhou hid their faces and snickered on the side.

Conquered Suizhou in half a day, how could this scene have such a high similarity with the battle of Yingzhou City, was it the same person?

That's right, when Niu Gao set out on the expedition, he deliberately brought Yue Yun with him; And Yue Yun once again led the crowd to take the lead, and almost solved the battle alone.

After this battle, Yue Yun got a very arrogant nickname: Winning Guanren

Winning officials will win every battle, invincible in the world!

The Yuejia army advanced towards Xiangyang Mansion, the distance was getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere was getting more and more tense.

However, to everyone's surprise, when the Yue family army arrived at Xiangyang Mansion, they found that the strongest city in Jianghan was actually open without any defense, allowing the Yue family army to enter.

It took Yue Fei a whole day to confirm that Li Cheng had really fled with his army, rather than setting up an ambush in the city.

Li Cheng, the first general of the puppet Qi State, had a favorable location and superior troops, but he still didn't dare to fight Yue Fei and fled.

I have to say that Li Cheng was indeed scared of being beaten, and he was afraid of Yue Fei from the bottom of his heart

When the Yuejia army marched all the way and was invincible, the Battle of Xianrenguan, which was far away in the northwest battlefield, ended with the embarrassment of the Yan Wushu and the curtain.

At the beginning, Wanyan Wushu suddenly led his troops to leave Li Cheng and moved to the northwest because something important had happened there.

It turned out that the monk Yuan, who was afraid of Wanyan Wushu, was actually left behind in Shaanxi to drink and successfully attacked him. The monk was originally vested, and the Great Dispersion Pass was at his fingertips, and the passage from Shaanxi to Sichuan was opened in sight.

This news shook the entire Jin country, it was like a pie falling from the sky, and what kind of Yangtze River defense line did it break through, first Shu and then Jiangnan, this is the most cost-effective strike route.

Without any hesitation, Jin Guo immediately dispatched heavy troops to support Sali, and he must open the road into Sichuan.

As a result, Wanyan Wushu led an army of 100,000 to attack Dasanguan for the second time.

Losing the natural barrier of the monk Yuan, the Song army at the Dasan Pass was quickly defeated by the Jin soldiers, and at this time, on the road to the Jin soldiers into the Sichuan, there was only the last pass: the Xianren Pass

Xianren Guanxi is bordered by the Jialing River in the west, and is bordered by the northern boundary of Luoyang in the south. Yuguan in the north is close to the Iron Mountain Plank Road. It's a pivotal location. From the map. It is located in the southeast of Wu Jue's base camp in Hechi, and it is the strongest stronghold of the Song army in Shaanxi at that time in terms of geographical location and troop arrangement.

Despite this, the Wanyan Wushu does not take the immortals in his eyes.

The reason is simple, there is no very special terrain here; Without natural hazards as a barrier, Wanyan Wushu did not believe that Wu Jue's Northwest Army would be able to withstand the impact of the Jin soldiers and iron cavalry.

In early March of the fourth year of Shaoxing, Wanyan Wushu led more than 100,000 Jin troops to officially begin to attack Xianren Pass.

The terrain in front of the Immortal Pass is open, which is very suitable for large-scale cavalry charges. Wanyan Wushu naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and at the beginning, he let 100,000 Jin soldiers attack together, trying to defeat the Song army with one blow......

The Jin soldier's charge came to a halt in front of a narrow mountain ridge northeast of Immortal Pass.

This mountain range is only more than one person high, and the distance is a little farther away and you can't even see the existence of this mountain ridge, but it is just the height that war horses can't cross, forcing the Jin soldiers to stop and fight with the Song soldiers.

The reason why Wu Jue set the battlefield here is also because it has a good name - killing Jinping.

The battle unfolded at the front of the killing of Jinping, where there was a Song army camp garrisoned by the commander Guo Zhen. This is a brave and resolute general, who fought hand-to-hand combat with the Jin army with his back to danger. Tenacious enough to withstand the serial impact of more than 30 rounds of golden soldiers.

The impact of more than 30 consecutive rounds has exceeded the impact intensity of Jin Bing's previous impact.

Sprinting in heavy armor is a very physically demanding job. It's the same for people and horses. Therefore, the Tanguts charged on horseback, but if they did not win three rounds at most, the battle of the day would be over; The Jin soldiers are stronger than the Xixia people, and they can rush several rounds, but the impact of more than 30 rounds in a row has also created a record for the Jin soldiers.

Guo Zhen couldn't hold it anymore after more than 30 rounds of fierce fighting, and he led his troops to retreat to kill Jinping.

According to past experience, Guo Zhen can already claim credit. But this time is different, because Wu Jue's order is to resolutely defend and not to retreat; If there is a retreat, it will be killed!

Therefore, Wu Jue had no choice but to kill Guo Zhen with tears, and also used his head to remind the soldiers below

The Jin army attacked and killed Jinping.

The one who guarded and killed Jinping was Wu Jue's younger brother Wu Luan.

Killing Jinping was short and long, and Wanyan Wushu used a small trick to easily defeat Wu Lan.

This trick is to run, and after finishing Yan Wushu, he will attack the east for a while, and attack the west for a while, so that the Song army in Jinping will run back and forth, tired of running.

Soon, the cavalry of the Jin army rushed into the killing of Jinping, and Wu was forced to retreat behind.

Regarding his retreat, Wu Lan gave this explanation to his brother: "Kill the land of Jinping, go to the original Shangyuan, the former Chen is scattered, Yiyizhi is the second pass, and if you fight to the death, you can win." ”

This sentence is the core of the victory or defeat of this battle, Wu Jue was immediately awakened, the innate conditions of killing Jinping determine that it is unreliable, and this temporary second line of defense is the foundation of survival.

Wu Jue accepted his brother's explanation, and then he said to his younger brother that he could give up killing Jinping, this second pass, no matter what, he had to keep it! The flames of war must not be allowed to spread under the Immortal Pass

After a night's rest, Wanyan Wushu confidently led the army forward.

Because according to the previous information, from the killing of Jinping to the front of the Immortal Pass, there was nothing that could stop the progress of the Jin Bing Iron Cavalry.

But after only half the journey, Wanyan Wushu suddenly found that in front of him were antlers like mountains and jungles, and horse repulsors were blocking in front of him; The gaps between the antlers are densely covered with countless small hidden weapons such as thistles, ground astringency, and hooves, which are terrifying.

Wanyan Wushu looked into the distance and found that not only did these obstacles block the road, but behind the obstacles, there was also a temporary fortification.

Inside the fortifications, swords and guns were raised, and people were surging.

From this point of view, Wu Jue put the decisive battle in this artificially created dangerous place...... (To be continued......)
