Chapter 110 Gorge Road Blocking (Come on Wuhan!) Come on, China! ）

The Bright Moon Gorge was very important to both armies at this time, it only led to Jicheng to the north, but it was divided into two roads to the south, one to the south of Yangcheng, and the other to the east of the Jade City, both cities were flat and easy to capture.

At the same time, because the canyon is steep and the gorge is narrow, it has created the characteristics of this place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is also the reason why Yinyue and others chose to abandon Jicheng.

Retreating to the canyon, Yinyue arranged several rows of soldiers to block the mouth of the canyon, holding bows and arrows aimed at the approaching enemy troops, and the enemy stopped at a certain distance from the gorge mouth, and then also raised their bows and arrows, and shot them with both hands.

The defenders had the advantage of open terrain, and there were few casualties in the case of limited range of bows and arrows, but on the other hand, on the side of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the gorges were cramped and densely populated, and they were simply live targets for the defenders.

Obviously, Yinyue also understands that this kind of defense is very unfavorable to her side, but she knows that they have no way back at this moment, so she can only endure the grief in her heart and watch the brothers in front of her fall down one by one and be carried back, and the brothers in the back will make up for it.

In just two or three hours, there were already six or seven hundred casualties, and the few people led by him had accumulated a lot of anger, and even Danmo, who had always been known for his elegance, couldn't help but complain: "This battle is really wretched!" ”

"If you are beaten to the bottom of the bag, why do you want your brothers to be sent to death?" Ryukin, who had just arrived with the silver guards, asked rhetorically when he heard their words.

Hearing the unfamiliar and familiar voice behind them, the faces of Yinyue, Mu Feng, Danmo and the others all flashed with surprise, and Yinyue suddenly looked at the leader of the Liujin:

"Ryukin, are you here? What about the generals? How did you get there so fast......

"The general has almost dealt with the affairs in the capital, I am a little worried about you, let me come and take a look, I also heard the news of the attack of the guards on the road, and the general is afraid that he has not received your news yet!" There are too many people around, and it is inconvenient for Rujin to explain too much.

The three of them were still very happy with Liujin who came to support him, but the original Jizhou sergeant instantly understood when he heard Liujin's words, especially when he saw the few soldiers and horses behind him, they all showed a disappointed look on their faces.

The expressions on their faces were undisguised, and the ironclad and silver guards who galloped forward naturally saw it clearly, and they also understood that they were being treated as ordinary soldiers, but the strong self-confidence in their hearts made them disdain to explain, they believed that war was the best test of their strength.

"Although the general did not bring a large army here, you don't have to worry, with the addition of our five thousand soldiers and horses, it is still possible to repel these guards and stop them from continuing to advance!" Like the Silver Guards, Ryujin has plenty of confidence in them.

"Five thousand soldiers and horses, do you know how many enemy troops there are?" Obviously, Ryukin's rhetoric did not convince everyone, and someone immediately stood up and mocked him.

In fact, I can't blame that person, after all, the enemy is strong and I am weak, they were already tired from being beaten at first hearing the arrival of reinforcements, and the joy and excitement in their hearts can be imagined, but now they are told that the reinforcements are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, how much they expected it before, then naturally how disappointed they are now.

"If you can keep it or not, you'll know when the time comes!" For the doubts around him, Liujin didn't show much anger, after all, in fact, he just vaguely felt in his heart that the strength of the five thousand silver guards was very strong, but he had never seen how strong it was, but he had blind confidence in the army that this young lady had personally cultivated.

"Liujin, with your words, I have the bottom in my heart!" Yinyue secretly cast an inquiring look at Liujin, and after seeing his affirmation, he carefully observed the five thousand soldiers and horses, his eyes full of admiration and fire.

Because the matter was urgent and there were many people, Yinyue, who knew it, didn't plan to take the time to explain, and after discussing it privately for a while, he listened to his words and let the brothers who were blocked in the gorge retreat one after another.

Witnessing the deployment of the Eastern Jin army in the gorge and becoming a live target for his own army, Mu Jingyun saw that the Eastern Jin Dynasty sergeants retreated from the gorge and did not pursue it regardless of it, at the same time, they just watched from a distance The morale of the Eastern Jin Army rose for a moment and then fell, and he was cautious by nature and did not intend to act rashly.

The gorge is winding and tortuous, after the Eastern Jin Dynasty soldiers retreated to the other side of the gorge, the bow and arrow attacks of both sides have caused no damage to the enemy, and suddenly the two armies are no longer shooting indiscriminately, and they are facing each other across the mysterious and deep gorge, which can also be said to be waiting.

Mu Jingyun waited for the spies and Hosaku to bring the news back, while Yinyue and the others waited for the Northern Guard's army to enter the gorge.

In the evening, when the two sides tacitly chose a temporary truce, Liujin arranged for some silver guards to be mixed with the sergeants of the night watch, after all, before he left Beijing, the young lady had warned him that Wang Gang's men in the army had collaborated with the enemy, and asked them not to trust others easily except for the twelve horsemen.

Sure enough, at night, Yinwei found a dark shadow sneaking away from the camp while it was dark, and in order to avoid startling the snake, only Yinyue and Liujin quietly followed.

"Don't you stop him?" The black shadow glanced left and right and took out a lump in his arms, and the two saw that the black blob was an eagle, and took advantage of the gap between the person tying the note to the eagle's leg, and Yinyue asked in a low voice.

His family knows his own affairs, although Yinyue's prestige in the Jizhou army is not low, but he himself knows that although he is ahead of the twelve horsemen in terms of force, he is far inferior to Chi Yu, Lixing, and Liujin in terms of intelligence, so after Liujin came, he subconsciously listened to his opinion in everything.

"No need, the news that can be delivered in the army now is nothing more than the news that I brought the troops here, and this news has passed just right, otherwise it is always so stubborn, how can my brothers under my command have a day to show?"

Now the only obstacle between the two sides is the gorge, any strategy has no effect at this time, since there is nothing to leak to the enemy in terms of military deployment, then what can be passed on now can only be the news that he brought his troops to come, and he does not care about this Liujin, and even expects the enemy army to enter the gorge as soon as possible, so that they can have some color to see.

"However, this person can't be kept!" Although he was asked to hand out the news, it was impossible for them to tolerate the fine work, and Liujin stepped forward quickly, and the long sword swiped the neck of the messenger, and the man fell.

The actions of the two tonight did not alarm the others, and the next morning several people arranged five thousand silver guards to guard the front of the team, and as expected, the enemy army was a little unable to sit still after learning that the Jizhou army had ushered in the first support army.

Beiwei and the Eastern Jin Dynasty have been fighting for many years, and naturally they have a certain understanding of the strength of the other party, and now they dare to chase so tightly, it is nothing more than relying on the numerical advantage, once the Eastern Jin Dynasty army is given enough time, a large number of reinforcements arrive, and they can only go back in disgrace, so they can't afford to wait.

The soldiers of the Northern Guard were divided into small teams, holding high long knives and shields, and marched quickly in the gorge, originally if they met an ordinary Jizhou army, sacrificing some men and horses would naturally allow the army to break through the defense line of the gorge, but unfortunately they met the ironclad silver guard.

The ironclad silver guards did not use ordinary bows and arrows, but crossbows, and in such close-range shooting, the guards had shields in their hands, but they still became live targets in the eyes of the silver guards.
