Chapter 63: Nanting Pass
Outside the South Pavilion Pass.
The army of 500,000 Annam has been stationed on the plains outside the Guan.
This is the soldier of the country of Annam.
The army is 500,000, and it is known to the outside world as 1 million.
An extremely oppressive aura swept in.
Like a black cloud-like army, the soldiers approached the Nanting Pass.
Rear of the Great Army.
In the middle of a vast military camp.
More than a dozen generals of Annan gathered in the big tent.
"There are less than 100,000 defenders in Nantingguan, and half of the recruits, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, with such strength, it is a fool's dream to resist the 500,000 elite soldiers of our Annan country. ”
An Annan general sneered, a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Their Annan Kingdom is pouring out of the country this time, and under the command of their god of war, General Bai, it is even more imposing.
Along the way, little decent resistance was encountered.
He came directly to the Nanting Pass.
In their opinion, the next journey should be as simple as that.
Sweeping away the entire Great Song Dynasty is just around the corner.
The small Nanting Pass is not a problem at all.
"A few generals, how many days do you think it will take for the army to conquer Nanting Pass?"
Another Annan general asked with a smile.
"Two days is enough. ”
"Two days? You also think too highly of Yang Meng's poor talent, in my opinion, at most one day. ”
"Haha, I think it will only take half a day, then Yang Meng will go out of the city and surrender. ”
More than a dozen military generals of the Annan Kingdom all laughed.
"Which of you dares to underestimate the enemy?!"
At this moment, there was a cold drink during the day.
All the generals of Annan immediately stopped their hippie smiles and were silent.
Don't dare to say anything more.
"Yang Meng is not an ordinary person, you must do your best, and even give the old man the consciousness of risking his life!"
Bai Bo knew very well that the reason why their march was so smooth was because all the Great Song Dynasty troops had already retreated in advance.
All of them were evacuated to this Nanting Pass.
The strength of the Great Song Dynasty actually did not have any losses.
In this battle, even if there is a huge disparity in troops!
But it's not that simple!
"Within three days, we must take Nanting Pass!"
Bai Baibo took a deep breath, his eyes were extremely cold, "If you can't take it within three days, you all come to see you!"
"Yes!"
The more than a dozen military generals of the Annan Kingdom all surrendered their orders with solemn expressions.
Although they have an absolute advantage, in Bai Baibo's opinion, they must be fast!
Break through Nanting Pass as soon as possible, so that you can drive straight into Jinling for a long time!
Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Great Song Dynasty, he captured the little emperor Zhao Lin alive!
Nanting Guannei.
Yang Meng's expression was extremely solemn.
However, even if there were 500,000 troops of Annan outside, there was no trace of fear on his face.
It's just that Yang Meng is not afraid, but the military department Shangshu who is with him can't sit still.
Like ants on a hot pan.
That's an army of 500,000!
Densely gathered outside the gate.
With an army of this size, once it is attacked, how can this Nanting Pass be able to hold it?
At that moment, a scout walked in.
As if he had seen a savior, the military department Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward and shook the latter's hands, "Is there any news from Jinling City?
Now, the only hope of the military department is that Zhao Lin can quickly transfer reinforcements.
It's best to transfer Dian Wei and Tiger Ben Guards, then there is still a fight.
After all, General Dian Wei once had a brilliant record of repelling 300,000 enemy troops.
"Lord Shangshu, Your Majesty doesn't seem to have any moves to transfer troops in the past few days. ”
Scouts report back.
"What did you say?"
The eyes of the military department were wide-eyed.
And then I was weak.
He sat heavily in his chair.
Your Majesty, there is no action, this is planning to give up Nanting Pass?
"Your Majesty must have your Majesty's intentions. ”
Yang Meng's face did not have a trace of depression, as if he was extremely confident in Zhao Lin, "Your Majesty, he must have a backhand, we just need to do our part." ”
When the military department Shangshu heard this, he immediately frowned.
Backhand?
His Majesty has not mobilized troops and horses at all, what else can he do?
If you have a back hand, you should use it quickly!
Otherwise, will it not be used until this Nanting Pass is breached?
"The eunuch has arrived!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The next moment, a young eunuch walked in.
"Yang Hanlin, Lord Shangshu, take the order!"
The young eunuch's duck-like voice sounded.
Yang Meng and the secretary of the military department hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.
"Your Majesty has a will, at all costs, hold on to Nanting Pass until the reinforcements of the imperial court arrive!"
The young eunuch handed over the will to the military department Shangshu.
But the military department was still stunned.
"The imperial court sent reinforcements?"
Didn't the scout just say that His Majesty hadn't mobilized troops and horses in the past few days?
"Although there are no reinforcements from the imperial court on the surface, perhaps, secretly His Majesty has sent reinforcements and is coming day and night......
Yang Meng reasoned.
When the military department Shangshu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Your Majesty is engaged in the cultivation of the plank road in the open, and the darkness is in Chencang......
High!
It's really high!
The military department Shangshu suddenly had confidence, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to have been improved, and the sluggish state of Fang Cai was completely swept away.
"Order the three armies, at all costs, hold Nanting Pass!"
The sonorous and powerful voice suddenly spread in this handsome tent.
"Yes!"
......
Three days later.
Jinling City.
Above the court.
The urgent report from Nanting Pass was sent back like snowflakes.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Annan, but 500,000 troops were dispatched!
This clearly wants to destroy their Great Song Dynasty!
And now, the army of the Great Song Dynasty guarding Nanting Pass is less than 100,000 people.
Among them, there are also new recruits and the old and weak, and it is estimated that there are only 50,000 people who are really combative.
A difference of 1 to 10 troops.
Nanting Pass, it will definitely not be able to hold it for a few days!
And once the enemy breaks through Nanting Pass, then he will drive straight into Jinling City!
"Your Majesty, Nanting Pass is in an emergency, and the minister suggests that General Wei should be immediately transferred to Nanting Pass, guard the pass, and block the army of Annan!"
An imperial historian came out of the ranks, and his words were sincere and authentic.
"It's not enough to send General Dian Wei, the minister suggested that all the troops from all over the country be requisitioned and all sent to Nanting Pass to have a decisive battle with Annan!"
"It makes sense, this battle is related to the survival of our Great Song Dynasty, and we must pour the strength of the whole country, otherwise once the Nanting Pass is broken, our country will be in danger!"
Several courtiers came forward to admonish.
In their opinion, it is already a burning eyebrow, and if they don't launch the power of the country, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will have the worry of destroying the country!
"Rank Aiqing doesn't need to panic, in my heart, there is already a candidate to retreat from the enemy. ”
Zhao Lin sat on the throne of the dragon chair and said with a faint smile, "Later, he will come up to the palace and be ordered to go out to meet the army of Annan." ”
His Majesty the Emperor has a candidate to retreat from the enemy?
The ministers looked at each other.
They really couldn't think of anyone else who could retreat from the enemy except General Dian Wei, who was still in Jiangbei?
But His Majesty didn't recruit Dian Wei?
At this moment, the ground under the feet of Baiguan suddenly shook violently.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The continuous sound came from outside the Jinluan Palace, causing the ministers in the hall to stand unsteadily, and their faces changed greatly.
What's going on?
Earthquake?
