The mouth of the Yu River.

On the sea, small boats were carrying the tiger soldiers to the shore in the bitter cold wind. The coast here is close to the mountains and is not a normal landing place at all, but for pirates and private thieves, this is the most ideal landing place.

Luo Qinghan and Hou Guai stood in a sheltering mountain depression. They saw Zhang Tianzhang hurriedly with several pirates from afar. After the pirate fleet arrived at the waters near the Yu River, Zhang Tianzhang took the lead in checking the terrain. This kid was very seasick, but because of his youth and good health, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to go ashore.

"Ship Luo, Shuai Yun, this road can still be walked." Zhang Tianbang sat on the snow and used the wooden stick in his hand to draw a simple topographic map. "This is Yuguan, about sixty miles away from the coast. Several roads in the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. They can't walk, so they can only walk slowly along the frozen river surface of the Yuhe River. Although the road is difficult, it is better than not. If everything goes well, we will reach Yuguan tomorrow."

"Can the materials be transported there?" This is the question that Luo Qinghan is most concerned about.

"Of course, but it's only for carrying it on the shoulders and backs." Zhang Tianbang said, "The terrain here is more steeper than the mountains in the Daling River area, and it's too difficult to transport it by people. After the Yu Pass, we can seize some sleds in the pass. With the addition of Yun Shuai and Hai Shuai's hand, we should be able to collect dozens of sleds, and then transport it by this glacier. However, the transportation volume is very effective, so we can only add a little more." This sentence made Luo Qinghan breathe a sigh of relief. If he can add a little more, he can solve the big problem. He turned to look at Hou Jia and said with a smile: "Yun Shuai, then I'll bother you and Hai Shuai."

"You are too disgusting if you don't talk to each other." Hou Jiao shook his hand, "Ship Luo, our fleet has always been here, and you can always take you back to retreat."

If the surprise attack on Yu Pass fails, the Hu Lie Army can only retreat, so the pirate fleet cannot leave now. They have to wait until the Hu Lie Army conquers Yu Pass before they can rush to the Runzhou waters. Runzhou is more than 50 miles away from Yu Pass, and the Liao army in the city heard that Yu Pass will definitely provide rapid support when Yu Pass is lost. The pirates took advantage of the fact that the local army in Runzhou was full of their nests to seize Runzhou, and then transport food, grass and weapons to Yu Pass along the land route.

This plan is the key to supporting the Hu Lie Army to defend Yu Pass. Whether it is the Hu Lie Army or the Yun Hai Army, there is currently a serious shortage of food. If you want to hold in Yu Pass for a longer period of time, you must seize Runzhou. Therefore, raiding Yu Pass also has the effect of luring the enemy in Runzhou.

The two then discussed some transportation details and then handed over.

Huli soldiers were mostly seasick. After they arrived on land, they were shaking and unable to support them. If they were not seasick, they passed through the sea for a long time and were exhausted.

After walking ten miles hard, he entered a dense forest near the Yuhe River. Luo Qinghan ordered a rest and recover his energy first, otherwise he would not be able to fight this battle.

Luo Qinghan still has no plan to attack Yu Pass.

Yu Pass is the pass that Youyan guards the north, surrounded by mountains and waters, and has a dangerous terrain. It belongs to Pingzhou Road. The Liao Xing Army is responsible for guarding it. In the past, there was a battalion of garrisons here and five hundred soldiers. According to Zhang Tianbang's speculation, although Yelu Dashi replaced the garrison, the number of people should not change.

There is a fact here. Although Yuguan is dangerous, its building scale is limited due to its terrain and land, and it cannot accommodate thousands of people. In the past five hundred garrisons, the barracks were built on the hillside outside the pass to store supplies and place post horses. Because there are many business trips, inns and taverns were built on the hill opposite the barracks.

Zhang Tianbang and several pirates familiar with the terrain repeatedly investigated but did not find a new camp. From this, we can boldly infer that there may be only 500 troops in Yuguan...

There is indeed no suspense if ten thousand people hit 500 people, but the problem is that the attacker cannot unfold in the narrow terrain, and there is no siege equipment. If you want to quickly conquer a pass with 500 people, you are really helpless and have no choice.

Zhang Tianbang was ordered to go to Yuguan again to inquire about military information. It was the middle of winter, and the mountains were covered with snow, and the mountain roads were difficult to move. There were very few business travelers from south to north. He disguised himself as a hunter and quietly ran to the restaurant outside the pass. There were only a few guards in the restaurant. When they were drunk, they spoke without any restraint and accidentally revealed an important news that a convoy of supplies would pass by Yuguan tomorrow to transport supplies to the Liao army in Jinzhou.

Zhang Tianbian ran back and told Luo Qinghan the news.

Luo Qinghan was overjoyed and urgently summoned Tieying to discuss. This was really God's help. Not only did he send supplies, but he also sent him a chance to win the pass. A miracle is really a miracle. Since God helped, the rebels of course could not miss the opportunity. The three of them discussed and decided to pretend to be bandits and rob the convoy on the mountain road near Yuguan, first luring out the Liao army within the pass, and then taking advantage of the opportunity to seize the pass.

In the early morning, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army ranked seventh, ninth, tenth and eleventh generals marched rapidly and lie in the mountains on both sides of the mountain road outside the pass.

In the morning, a Liao army's baggage convoy appeared, with hundreds of small carriages, thousands of horses carrying supplies, nearly ten thousand porters, and a huge baggage convoy that stretched for several miles.

This situation was far beyond the expectations of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army. No one expected that the Liao army's local logistics convoy would be so large. However, it is normal to think about it carefully. There are 500 to 600 miles from Pingzhou to Jinzhou, and the land consumption is relatively large. In addition, there are 50,000 or 60,000 troops stationed in Jinzhou, so the logistics convoy is of course very large.

Luo Qinghan immediately ordered Tian Fu to lead the seventh general, cut off the rear of the baggage team and prevent them from escaping. Not to mention a soldier or a civilian, even a livestock could not let it run away. The news that the rebel army could capture Yuguan for a moment was delayed, which could help the rebel army have more time to build a defensive formation.

Du Shan led the ninth general and Liu Chen led the tenth general. He surrounded the Liao soldiers who were escorting the baggage chariots.

Li Meng led the eleventh general, lurking near Yu Pass, preparing to seize the pass and attack.

The seventh general of the Tiger Lieutenant Army quickly cut off the retreat route of the baggage team like an arrow. Tian Fu immediately directed the assault soldiers and attacked forward along both sides of the mountain road.

The ninth and eleventh general of the Tiger and Martyrs roared out of the snow-capped mountains and forests.

The baggage convoy was stunned. The Liao army was escorted with only one battalion of troops and five hundred soldiers. They and the people looked at the rebels who were coming from the sky in a daze. Without any reaction, they were surrounded and captured by the rebels. After many people were captured, they were still dreaming, not knowing who the enemy was.

The rebel army deliberately let go of the guards and people at the front of the baggage convoy. These people fled to the pass as fast as possible for help. The defenders stationed in Yu Pass rushed out of the pass without thinking. There were no other enemies nearby except the bandits. I guess these bandits were hungry and didn't care about their lives or death, and they would rob whatever they saw. This was the Liao army's baggage convoy, so they dared to rob, just to seek death.

They rushed out of the pass, ran hundreds of steps, and then stopped suddenly after turning a mountain. On the mountain road ahead, rows of rebel soldiers were rushing towards them, and the big flags told them that this was the Liaodong rebel army.

How is this possible? Isn’t the Liaodong rebel army in Jinzhou? Why did it run to Yuguan? It has grown wings and flew? But now there is no time to think about this problem. There are too many rebel army and are coming along the mountain road with great momentum. It is no match for it at all. It’s better to withdraw from the pass and defend it to the end.

They turned around and ran away. When they ran to the pass, they were stunned. There were rows of rebel soldiers, lined up in front of the pass, blocking their retreat. They looked up again and exclaimed in horror. The Liao army flag on the city tower was falling from the air, and the fiery red rebel flag was rising rapidly, dancing in the wind.

The rebel army successfully occupied Yu Pass.

Hou Guai and Wu Chitian hurried to Yu Pass.

All this was incredible. The rebels not only easily captured Yu Pass, but also seized a large amount of food and supplies. It was incredible and miracle. Now they believe why Li Hu could lead hundreds of thousands of people from Longhua on Shangjing Road to Jinzhou on Zhongjing Road. As the rumor said, the son of the king had a god blessed. He attacked Yu Pass from the sea, and he did not expect the enemy and hit it with one blow. Who else could think of such a plan except Li Hu?

According to this speculation, Li Hu is very sure to break through Jinzhou this time and gain a foothold in the Heishan area. Perhaps he can fulfill his promise and rescue the Bohai Army trapped in the Liaodong Peninsula. In time, he may be able to build a world in Liaodong like the Jurchens. Such a boss can follow him, and some money can make money and some officials can do it, and good days are right in front of him.

The long-range attack and captured Yu Pass was expected by Luo Qinghan and others, but by the way, a Liao army's baggage team was intercepted and a large amount of food and supplies were seized, but they were beyond their expectations. With these food and grass weapons, plus the 10,000 Tiger and Fiery Army, three or four thousand Yun Haijun, and the Wu Yong Army that was rushing toward it, it would be absolutely no problem to hold on to Yu Pass for a month.

With food and drink, the stomach problem is solved and the courage becomes greater.
