In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Great Song Dynasty, Princess Zhao Yingluo wore a military uniform and stood side by side with Yue Fei. Her eyes were resolute, and she was communicating her strategic intentions to Wang Zaixing and Han Shizhong, who were far away, through messengers.

"Tell Wang Zaixing," Zhao Yingluo said to the messenger, "that the Western Route Army will work closely with General Yue Fei to besiege Yanjing. This battle is related to the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, and we must go all out. ”

The messenger took the order, and Zhao Yingluo turned to another messenger: "You quickly go to the East Road to inform General Han Shizhong, and order him to lead the army to seize Yuguan and prepare for General Yan Zongyi's entry." In the first battle of Yuguan, only success was allowed, not failure. ”

The two messengers left quickly, and Zhao Yingluo and Yue Fei looked at each other and smiled, full of confidence. With the issuance of the military order, the armies of the east and west began to prepare for intense war.

Wang Zaixing led the Western Route Army, closely cooperating with Yue Fei's main force, and marched towards Yanjing.

They marched quietly, but with an unstoppable force.

On the East Road, the army led by Han Shizhong had also arrived at Yuguan. The walls of Yuguan are towering, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Han Shizhong is not afraid.

Zhao Yingluo frowned slightly, and replied: "The Zaixing Department of the Western Route Army is ready to go, just waiting for our order. With Han Shizhong of the Eastern Route Army, I have also sent someone to give them an order to prepare for the capture of Yuguan. ”

Han Shizhong smiled slightly and pointed to Yuguan on the map, "Everyone, please see, although Yuguan is strong, it also has its weaknesses. We can use the terrain and weather conditions to develop tactics. ”

All the generals approached the map one after another and listened carefully to Han Shizhong's explanation. Han Shizhong's finger crossed an arc on the map, "We can first send a small force to feint on the front of Yuguan to attract the attention of the defenders." Then, the main forces took the opportunity to outflank the city from the flanks and climbed the walls using ladders. ”

Yue Fei nodded, his gaze was like a torch, "General Wang, you and I have joined forces, and we will definitely take Yanjing this time!" ”

As night fell, the sparkling fires flickered outside the tent. The soldiers sat around the fire, whispering about their plans for tomorrow's battle. The horses were quietly eating forage not far away, occasionally neighing slightly.

At this moment, a messenger hurriedly entered the tent and knelt down in front of Zhao Yingluo and Yue Fei, "Princess, General Yue, General Wang of the Western Route Army asked, when can we start the operation?" ”

One of the generals asked worriedly, "But the walls of Yuguan are so high that it's easier said than done?" ”

At the same time, the Eastern Route Army led by Han Shizhong was also quietly marching. Their goal is Yuguan, which is the key to the pass, and it is also the key to Wanyan Zongyi's entry into the pass.

"Soldiers, Yuguan is right in front of you, take it, and we will be able to welcome General Wanyan into the customs!" Han Shizhong waved his sword and shouted, his morale like a rainbow.

Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath and said with a firm gaze: "Tell Wang Zaixing that at dawn tomorrow, the Western Route Army and the Central Route Army will set off at the same time to besiege Yanjing!" ”

The messenger took the order and left, and Zhao Yingluo turned to Yue Fei again, "General Yue, you still need to worry a lot about tomorrow's battle." ”

After the rain stopped, Han Shizhong re-observed the topography and architectural features of Yuguan, and found that there was a source of water in the pass that came from a small stream behind the mountain, so he had a plan and ordered the soldiers to build a dam to store water in the upper reaches of the stream.

In the main camp of the Chinese army in the Great Song Dynasty, the atmosphere was solemn and tense. Princess Zhao Yingluo was dressed in exquisite military uniforms, standing side by side with Yue Fei, who was dressed in armor, and a huge military map was spread out in front of them. Outside the tents, the uniform footsteps of the soldiers mingled with the occasional neighing of war horses, adding to the tension of the coming battle.

However, just as they were about to start climbing, it suddenly rained heavily, which made the climb more difficult.

The battle of Yanjing was about to break out, and the capture of Yuguan was also imminent. The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, with the belief of victory, embarked on a journey.

At the same time, in the camp of the Eastern Route Army, Han Shizhong was also arranging tasks in full swing. He summoned his generals to discuss the strategy of capturing Yuguan.

"General Yue, the Western Route Army is ready." Wang Zaixing reported to Yue Fei.

Seeing this, Han Shizhong hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat and wait for a better time. The rain crackled against the walls, but the defenders noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

Han Shizhong nodded, "This is indeed a difficult problem. However, I have already sent someone to prepare a special ladder and rope. As long as we can successfully climb up and open the city gate, then Yuguan is in our pocket. ”

After hearing this, the morale of the generals was greatly boosted, and they all expressed that they would fight bravely to be the first and contribute to the capture of Yuguan.

Yue Fei clasped his fists and saluted, "Rest assured, the princess will definitely do her best to live up to the trust!" ”

A few days later, there was enough water in the dam, and Han Shizhong gave an order, and the soldiers quickly dug the embankment, and the raging stream rushed down the mountain to the city of Yuguan.

The Eastern Route Army also quietly approached Yuguan under the leadership of Han Shizhong. They took advantage of the cover of night and terrain to approach the city of Yuguan. Han Shizhong personally led a team of elite soldiers carrying special ladders and ropes, and quietly approached the city wall.

The two armies cooperated seamlessly, and the offensive was like a tide.

"Princess, how are the preparations of the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army?" Yue Fei asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Yanjing and Yuguan on the map.

"Yuguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack." One of the generals grimaced, "We have to come up with a foolproof plan." ”

Early the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone onto the earth, the army of the Great Song began to move. The Western Route Army and the Middle Route Army marched towards Yanjing under the leadership of Wang Zaixing and Yue Fei. The soldiers marched on the road in high spirits, and the clashing of iron armor and weapons was particularly loud in the silence of the early morning.

As night fell, the starlight reflected the marching ranks, and the sound of iron armor and weapons colliding echoed in the night sky. The footsteps of the soldiers were in unison, as if they were cheering on the drums for the coming battle.

Although the defenders of Yanjing resisted stubbornly, they gradually showed fatigue under the brave attacks of the Great Song soldiers.

A few days later, the Western Route Army joined up with Yue Fei's main force, and Yanjing was already besieged. Wang Zaixing rode at the forefront of the army, his eyes shining with determination.

Yue Fei nodded, "The stakes are very high in this battle, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

And in Yuguan City, the defenders are also nervously deploying. They reinforced the fortifications on the walls and arranged dense patrols. The guard stood on the city wall and looked at the Great Song military camp in the darkness in the distance, his heart was full of worry and uneasiness.

The defenders were taken aback by the sudden rise of the water, and chaos reigned in the city.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Shizhong led a large army to launch a fierce attack.

Due to the chaos in the city, the defenders were powerless to resist, and the Eastern Route Army quickly captured Yuguan as if it were no one.

Han Shizhong stood on the city wall, looking at the defeated enemy army and the conquered Yuguan, and his heart was full of pride of victory.
