Chapter 913: Yuguan

Yuguan.

"I didn't expect this group of Jurchens to also have the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and they secretly sent troops to prepare to enter Yanyun!"

Li Zhu looked at the Jurchen army outside Yuguan.

Li Zhu and others went very smoothly in the Northern Expedition, all the way to Pingzhou, but when they were about to go to Jinzhou, they met the Jurchens who had the same idea, and the leader of the troops was still an old acquaintance Jin Wushu.

"Fortunately, there is this Yuguan, otherwise this kind of terrain will not be able to take advantage of each other!"

Lin Chong opened his mouth and said, this Pingzhou to Liaodong, there is a long and narrow corridor, one side is a high mountain, one side is the sea, more than 300 miles of road, the widest part is thirty miles, the narrowest point is only fifteen miles, this kind of terrain is almost a paradise for heavy cavalry, if it is not for Yuguan to guard, they are afraid to retreat.

"Yue Fei, come out if you have the guts!"

Jin Wushu led the army to call the battle path under the pass.

"This guy is really haunted!"

Yue Fei said angrily, he was about to enter Liaodong to make a contribution, why did this golden vulture suddenly appear.

However, Yue Fei is not afraid of the golden vultures, and directly rode out of the pass, in front of the two armies, the momentum must not be weak!

"Why, you dare to make noise even if you are a defeated general?"

Yue Fei looked at the Golden Vulture Dao, the last time the Golden Vulture was beaten by them miserably.

"Yue Fei, today is your death!"

The Golden Vulture looked at Yue Feidao fiercely.

"If you have the ability, come to attack the city pass, I will see what you have the ability to do!"

Yue Fei said disdainfully, but in his heart he was puzzled, where did the Golden Vulture who suffered a big loss last time have the courage to say this now.

"No, there must be a secret!"

Yue Fei saw Jin Wushu's smug smile, and his heart suddenly became alert.

After the golden vulture finished speaking, he returned to the formation, and after a while, a large number of instruments were launched in the Jurchen army formation.

"Hmph, I want this group of thieves to know how powerful I am!"

Jin Wushu laughed proudly, this time in order to enter Yanyun smoothly, he carried a large number of advanced siege equipment, including cannon stones, caves, goose carts, partial bridges, cloud ladders, and fire ladders.

"This group of Jurchens is really not simple!"

In the city, Li Zhu sighed, they all said that the Jurchens were uncivilized barbarians, but these "barbarians" in front of them were smarter than the Central Plains, and how could there be a shadow of barbarians in the use of weapons.

"These devices are not simple! We have to be careful! ”

Wang Jin looked at the instruments and frowned.

"How many people, what do you think?"

Li Zhu looked at Zong Ze and the three of them and asked.

"These instruments look extraordinary, I think we have to avoid their edge!"

Zong Ze opened his mouth and said, the enemy has nearly 100,000 troops, and although Yuguan is dangerous, it is not a way to resist hard.

"Didn't we bring artillery with us, what are we afraid of them doing?"

Yue Fei opened his mouth and said, they brought a lot of artillery, although it was only a cannon that fired solid projectiles, but these were all improved by Ling Zhen, and the Jurchens were not enough.

"It's not time to show your strength."

Zong Ze shook his head, the Jurchens are menacing, and the safest way to play is to let the Jurchens expose their hole cards.

"Order the whole army to retreat to the pass!"

Li Zhu opened his mouth, he also felt that what Zong Ze said was good, the enemies were all heavy cavalry, and they should not take the initiative to attack in the terrain of the Liaoxi Corridor.

"What a grievance!"

Yue Fei complained, but he also knew that this was a stable choice.

As soon as the golden vulture gave the order, thirty cannon stones were fired directly.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Bursts of explosions rang out above Yuguan.

"This Jurchen actually has gunpowder!"

Li Yi's face changed slightly, he knew very well the horror of gunpowder, and there were such big killer Jurchens.

"Gunpowder has been around for a long time, and it's no secret, even the people have firecrackers and fireworks, and the power of gunpowder in the Jurchens is not great."

Zong Ze looked at those explosions and said, compared to the gunpowder of Liangshan, the gunpowder of the Jurchens is nothing.

"This trebuchet...... The rocks are a little big! ”

Yang Zhi looked at the flying stones and frowned and said, gunpowder is still second, the most troublesome should be the trebuchet, this largest stone is afraid of fifty or sixty catties, and the damage of this kind of stone is no less than that of ordinary artillery.

"The Jurchen instruments are really powerful!"

Liu Fa lamented that he had been fighting against the Tangut people in the northwest all the year round, and he had never seen such a sophisticated instrument from a foreign race.

After the Liangshan army hid in Yuguan, although the Jurchens' artillery attack was strong, it did not cause any substantial damage.

Jin Wushu also saw that there was no one on the gate, but he didn't care, he just wanted to make a noise, Liang Shan had sabotaged Liaodong several times, and he had to extinguish this momentum.

The drums sounded one after another, the cannon stone machine bombarded one after another, and the fire above Yuguan was blazing!

"We can't keep being shot like this, can we?"

Yue Fei looked at Zong Ze and asked, if you continue to fight like this, Yuguan will not be able to hold it.

"The enemy is all heavy cavalry, I'm afraid it won't work to go out on this kind of terrain!"

Zong Ze shook his head and said, all he could think of was to hold on, and it was the best choice for light cavalry and infantry to hold on in this terrain.

"However, it's not impossible!"

Zong Ze looked to the west.

"That mountain, if you can cross it from there, and surprise attack the enemy's rear, the opportunity is not impossible!"

Zong Ze pointed to Linyu Mountain in the west, although the enemy's heavy cavalry is powerful, but the 100,000 army is not all heavy cavalry, and there is always heavy grain and grass in the rear.

"The mountain?"

Yue Fei looked at Linyu Mountain in the west and wrinkled, this mountain also belongs to the Yanshan Mountain Range, although the mountain is steep, as long as it is a mountain, there must be a road, but the mountain road is rugged, and it can only be used by a small number of people and horses.

"Let's go find some local mountain hunters!"

Yue Fei said to the soldiers around him, the people who know the situation in the mountains best must be the locals, the people here often go into the mountains to hunt and collect mountain goods, and they must know some secret paths.

"If I could get around, I would have an idea!"

Li Zhu touched his short beard and spoke.

"Tell me about it!"

Yue Fei's face was happy, and everyone also looked over.

"On the one hand, a small number of soldiers and horses walked to the rear of the enemy and burned the heavy grain and grass, while the front attracted these Jurchens to the sea and bombarded them with naval artillery."

Li Zhu opened his mouth and said, they are not good at fighting heavy cavalry, but the navy is not afraid, the caliber of the ship's defense guns is very large, and the firing range is extremely long. Moreover, the sand and mud by the sea can make it difficult for the heavy cavalry to walk.

"That's a good plan!"

Zong Ze's eyes lit up, he had never considered the navy, and there were dozens of warships in Liangshan above the Bohai Sea.

"Then let's do it!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

The Jurchen artillery stone bombardment did not stop until dark, and Jin Wushu proudly led the troops back and set up camp, with the posture of eating Yue Fei and the others.

"My lord, there is a road in this mountain that can be walked, but there are several cracks in that road, and people can only barely pass sideways, and the horses will never be able to pass! There are also several cliffs to climb up and down. ”

The local hunters who found it did know a small road, but that road could only be passed with difficulty, and it was impossible for the army to pass it.

"As long as you can pass people!"

Yue Fei didn't care, fighting was a human business, not a war horse's business.
