Chapter 219: The Battle of Yanmen Pass (3)

As soon as the interpreter passed on Yelu Hongji's words, Wang Jing stood on the pass and said loudly: "What does the Liao Lord say?"

Yelu Hongji appeared with this kind of huge pomp and circumstance, in order to boost morale, and at the same time deter the Song army, how could Wang Jing not understand what Yelu Hongji meant, when he replied, he mustered up his internal strength, and his voice was loud, resounding inside and outside the Yanmen Pass, and everyone in Daliao 200,000 soldiers could hear it clearly, and they were all shocked.

Murong Fu said in the back: "Your Majesty, this person is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance in the Central Plains, his martial arts are extraordinary, and he must not be too close to be unreliable, so as not to be plotted by him!"

Yelu Hongji saw that Wang Jing's bearing was extraordinary, and his voice was loud, and he praised: "Your Excellency is very good at the art of war and extraordinary martial arts, and I admire it very much! It seems that such a talent as Your Excellency has no official position, which shows that the Song Dynasty did not know anyone. If you are willing to assist me, you will be treated as a countryman!"

Wang Jing said with a smile: "Lord Liao's words are wrong, how can a certain Song person serve other countries, this is disloyal." Murong Fu can be regarded as a talented person, and he doesn't see how much position he has in your country, so why should the Liao lord lie and deceive him! The Liao lord raised troops to go south because of his own selfish desires. The war is together, the soldiers on both sides will inevitably suffer casualties, there is a certain big Song Erlang guarding the pass, you can't wait to cross the thunder pool, why send you to death senselessly. If the Liao lord is willing to listen to a certain persuasion and call off the army and make a truce, it will be a great blessing to the soldiers and people of the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty!"

As soon as Wang Jing's words came out, many soldiers in Daliao secretly agreed in their hearts, and no one wanted to die. But Yelu Hongji did not speak, and no one dared to show it.

Yelu Hongji said: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly! Since Your Excellency insists on resisting, you have no choice but to see the difference on the battlefield!"

Wang Jing sighed: "Lord Liao doesn't listen to people's words, and insists on going his own way, no matter what, if you don't beat your head and bleed, you won't give up, just come if you have the ability." ”

Yelu Hongji retreated into the formation, after his summary and thinking all night, the terrain of Yanmen Pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack, play tricks and can't play the other party, only steady and steady, slowly attack the way, although there may be more casualties, but once the pass is broken, the back will be all the way smooth. Yelu Hongji is a hero, and he can still pay a small price.

Yesterday, the vanguard lost his troops and lost his generals, although there were reasons for being plotted by the other side, but it was difficult to escape responsibility, Yelu Hongji let him make meritorious contributions, and allocated a lot of soldiers and horses to him, so that he could attack head-on, and the losses were not hesitated, as long as he broke through the pass, he would not be to blame for the past.

The pioneer lost his troops yesterday and made no achievements, which was regarded as a great shame in his life, and this time he worked hard to capture the pass and wash away his shame.

In this way, the vanguard did not stop attacking from morning to evening, regardless of the cost.

The two sides fought at the gate, the battle was extremely fierce, both sides had casualties, under the pass, corpses were all over the field, and blood flowed like a river.

When night fell, both sides counted their losses. The defenders of the Great Song Dynasty lost hundreds of people, but the Liao side lost several thousand. This was because the Song army was condescending and occupied favorable terrain. However, the Liao army was brave and had extraordinary marksmanship, and also shot and killed many defenders.

In Yelu Hongji's camp, in the face of this kind of loss, Yelu Hongji is also distressed, if it is like this for a long time, according to a few thousand to one hundred, he will definitely not be able to fight. Helpless, he called everyone to discuss.

Murong Fu watched the battle for a day and saw that the Liao army did not have effective tools for tackling key problems, so he said: "Your Majesty, the other party is defending according to the danger, we don't have the tools to attack the key points, and the losses are too great for such a strong attack." ”

Yelu Hongji sighed: "I don't know, but I don't have such a capable person in Da Liao, only the Song people have this kind of craftsmanship!"

Murong replied: "The minister has lived in the Southern Dynasty for a long time, but he knows the construction method of some siege equipment, Your Majesty may wish to gather skilled craftsmen, on the one hand, to supervise the construction from below, and on the other hand, continue to feint to hide people's eyes and ears." ”

Yelu Hongji said: "Very good! According to Murong Aiqing's words, if you can break through, Murong Aiqing's credit should be the first!"

In the evening, the harassment squad of the beggar gang came to harass again, but Yelu Hongji had been harassed, and this time he was very experienced, and the camp was within a radius of one mile, and people were arranged to be stationed there. Seeing that there was no chance for the beggar gang to harass the troops, they hid everywhere to observe the movements of the Liao army.

For the next three days, the vanguard continued to attack, but the intensity was obviously not as great as before, which was quite attention-grabbing.

In the Yanmen Pass, the guards and heroes were puzzled: "The enemy's offensive has slowed down significantly in the past three days, I don't know what is boring?"

Wang Jing smiled and said: "What kind of moth is Murong Fu doing, the brothers of the beggar gang are still lurking outside, I think they will know something!"

As soon as Wang Jing's words fell, someone reported that a brother from the beggar gang had come back from climbing the mountain.

General Zhang hurriedly asked someone to come to meet him, but the person who came turned out to be Chen Guyan, and he reported: "Helper! Since I assassinated many generals of the Liao army, the Liao army has taken great precautions, and now it is not easy to harass them, so I led my brothers to lurk outside. Three days ago, I saw a Liao army secretly going to the mountains and forests in the north, so I secretly followed them from a distance, and found that it was Murong Fu leading the team. After three days of observation, it was discovered that they were building siege equipment. This matter is very important, so I will come back to report it, and ask the master to decide!"

Everyone shouted and scolded: "Murong Fu, this scum, lives in my Great Song Dynasty, and he actually eats inside and out, and he knew that he would be killed in Shaolin Temple!"

Wang Jing said: "The Liao army is brave, if there are siege equipment to help, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses, we must not let Murong Fu build calmly like this." ”

General Zhang said: "For such an important matter, the other party will inevitably be heavily guarded, and it must not be easy to destroy it!"

Everyone also chimed in: "Yes, Murong Fu is not a stupid person, how can he not pay attention to it?"

Wang Jing smiled: "It's only been three days, how much can the other party build." If you want to destroy, you don't have to wait for their tools to be built before destroying them, as long as you kill those craftsmen, you can't build them anymore. ”

Chen Guyan praised: "The gang leader is clever! It is much easier to kill a few craftsmen, so I will sneak in, kill those craftsmen, and make them work in vain!"

Wang Jing said: "With your strength alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out." This time, I will bring some more people and go together, and I will move when the opportunity comes. ”

The beggars helped everyone: "Helper, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of my beggar gang, don't take risks easily!"

Wang Jing smiled: "If I want to leave, with these people on the other side, I can't keep me, don't worry!"

At night, Wang Jing took Chen Guyan and selected dozens of elite disciples to slip down from the peaks on both sides together.

Chen Guyan took these dozens of people to join the beggar brothers lurking outside led by Elder Xi in the dark night, a total of about 200 people, all waiting for Wang Jing to give orders.

Wang Jing said: "Elder Chen, you select ten elite disciples, come with me, and sneak in when you see the opportunity." Elder Xi, you take the rest of the people and harass them in four directions to attract the attention of the people stationed there. There are many people on the other side, so don't fall in love with each other!"

Elder Chen and Elder Xi said, "Helper, you still lead the team to harass, let's sneak in!"

Wang Jing shook his head and said: "You are not Murong Fu's opponent, if there is a chance this time, I will easily solve Murong Fu, this scum is a scourge!"

Elder Chen and Elder Xi couldn't resist Wang Jing, so they had to obey his orders.

Wang Jing and Elder Chen lurked outside the artisan camp, and sure enough, there were heavy troops stationed there.

Elder Xi was divided into teams of fifty people in four directions to make noise outside the craftsman's yard, set fires, and shouted insults. (To be continued.) )
