Chapter 384
At this moment, in the distant northern land, it is the season when autumn rains are endless.
The Imperial Guards, the Celebration Army, and the Imperial Guards in northern Shaanxi have been nearly three months since they entered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in early May.
There are not many garrisons in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Their three armies combined have a total strength of more than 200,000. With such forces, entering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, almost the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and no one can defeat them!
In early June, most of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were conquered, and the imperial guards in northern Shaanxi met at the city of Yanjing.
Liu Yanzong, the garrison of Yanjing City, was a Han Chinese and had no resistance at all. He directly opened the city gate and surrendered.
By mid-June, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun had been pacified.
Afterwards, Li Xianzhong mobilized 150,000 troops into Shandong and attacked the Liu Yu puppet army in Shandong. It has been a month and a half!
However, Shandong is active and has a large number of cities. The number of Liu Yu's puppet troops reached 300,000. Although their combat power is limited, it is difficult to defeat the entire Shandong in just one and a half months.
Li Xianzhong is still fighting in Shandong.
Yue Fei was standing on the wall of Juyongguan, watching the scene below.
It was raining lightly in the sky, and countless Khitans and Jurchen soldiers were holding ladders to attack on it.
In mid-July, the Jurchens on the grassland mobilized a large army to come to Juyongguan. They tried to defeat Juyongguan, and then entered the Central Plains from Juyongguan and met with Wanyan Zongwang.
Yue Fei got news from the grassland early, so he personally guarded the place.
The rain kept falling, and the soldiers around him were already wet, but Yue Fei's martial arts entered the innate perfection, and the qi spread throughout his body, but there was no raindrop on his body.
"Master, these Khitans and Jurchens have been attacking each other for two days and two nights, and they have not stopped yet!" Dong Xian came to Yue Fei and said.
"They want to defeat Juyong Pass and enter the Central Plains from here! It's ridiculous. They don't know how strong Juyong Pass is! I lead a 40,000 army here. It's hard for them to defeat this place!" Yue Fei said.
"The Jurchens seem to be much braver than before!" Dong Xian said.
"They also know the current situation in the world! They understand that after we occupy the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Wanyan Zongwang became a turtle in the jar, so they attacked Juyongguan desperately and wanted to come in from Juyongguan! After all, this place is the shortest away from Zhongjing!" Yue Fei said.
You can come to Juyongguan all the way from Zhongjing. Compared with Xiashanhaiguan, the distance between Datong and other places is much longer!
Yue Fei looked down and saw many Khitans being driven by the Jurchens and coming up, and countless bows and arrows fell on it, causing a large number of Khitans to be killed and injured!
However, the Jurchens didn't care about the lives of the Khitans at all, and they were still driving more Khitans to come towards them.
There are also Jurchen trenchers below, but Juyong is in the mountains, so it is very difficult to transport the trenchers, so the number of trenchers below is limited.
The catapults were also placed far away. If they were placed too close, there would be catapults on the city wall. The stones fell and the catapults below were smashed to pieces.
The sky gradually darkened, and at this moment, the offensive below suddenly became much more fierce!
This time, the real Jurchens charged towards the top!
Knowing that their nation is facing a crisis, the Jurchens seemed to have recovered their courage as they had been more than ten years ago. They all fought their best and continued.
However, there were too many defenders on the city wall and too many weapons to defend the city on it, and the Jurchens could not take advantage of it.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the Jurchens and Khitan coalition forces were still charging towards it.
The Song army on the city wall was also very tired at this moment. Yue Fei asked Dong Xian and gave a few instructions.
At that time, ten thousand Song troops retreated from the city wall, and another ten thousand new troops came to the city wall.
"I'll leave it to you first. I'll go back and have a rest." Yue Fei said.
Even though he is powerful, he is not a stubborn body.
Juyong Pass is so strong that it is almost impossible for the Jurchens to defeat them, so Yue Fei can take time to take a break.
Since the Jurchen invasion, he has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights.
Dong first agreed.
Yue Fei came down from the city wall and headed towards a small house in front of him. At this moment, a young general rushed over, and it was Yue Yun.
"Master General!" Seeing Yue Fei, Yue Yun hurriedly saluted.
"I will let you pay attention to news from Datong and Shanhaiguan. Once there is news of Wanyan Chang's invasion, I will immediately inform me. Could it be that there is news?" Yue Fei said.
"No." Yue Yun said.
"Then why are you here to look for me now? It's so dark, don't you go to bed?" Yue Fei said coldly.
"Master, father, everyone is fighting bloody. The three thousand soldiers under my command are sleeping now. How can this work? I will ask you for them, when will we go up and kill the enemy?" Yue Yun said.
"Juyongguan is strong and cannot be defeated by the Jurchens! You and the three thousand soldiers under you are resting for the time being. I will naturally send you out if necessary." Yue Fei said.
"What is the time when it is necessary?" Yue Yun said.
"Hmph! Do I still need to tell you when I use military service?" Yue Fei said coldly.
"But we are all afraid that there will be no chance to fight." Yue Yun said.
"I will give you a chance." Yue Fei was silent for a moment and said.
"That's great!" Yue Yun was overjoyed.
He knew that his father had something to say and say two things to say, and he would never lie. Since his father said he had a chance to fight, it means that they would definitely go to fight.
"Wait a little longer, when the Jurchens are completely exhausted, you rush out and fight against the Jurchens! Do you have such courage?" Yue Fei said.
"Yes!" Yue Yun was overjoyed and said.
"Now go to sleep well." Yue Fei said.
Yue Yun nodded and left happily.
"The only thing I am worried about now is that Wanyan Chang set out from Zhongjing and attack Datong! But I have been sending people to pay attention to the grassland news. Wanyan Chang showed no sign of dispatch! I was originally planning to wait until Hebei and the situation in Shandong has completely stabilized, and lead a large army into Hedong and siege the Jurchens in Hedong! But if Wanyan Chang goes south to attack Datong, Wanyan Zongwang will cooperate inside and outside, then Datong and Yanmen Pass may not be able to block it! This possibility is extremely great, and no one knows when Wanyan Chang will go south! The best way now is to force Wanyan Zongwang away from Hedong immediately. If he enters Hebei, even if Wanyan Chang goes south, there will be no threat! I want to write a letter to Quduan and Wang Fang, asking them to force Wanyan Zongwang to leave Hedong, enter Hebei, and encircle Wanyan Chang in Hebei!" Yue Fei said secretly.
Yue Fei had no worries about Juyong Pass itself. There were such a peerless pass, such a barrier of Central Plains, and a 40,000 army he personally trained to garrison here, and countless cities guarding equipment and supplies. The Jurchens and Khitan coalition below could not be defeated no matter how many of the number of Khitan coalition troops were!
"Your Majesty entered Jiangnan in February. It's almost August now, so he's coming back soon, right?" Yue Fei looked to the south and said secretly.
He stood for a long time before entering the room. At that moment, he first wrote a letter and ordered his personal soldiers to immediately send the letter to Datong, Hedong and other places, and then he rested.
*******
It rained heavily at night, and water was everywhere under Juyong Pass!
The Jurchens were still lying on the ground with water.
Jin Wushu looked up angrily. Half a month has passed. In the past half month, they launched several waves of attacks, but they were unable to defeat Juyong Pass!
"Why is this pass so difficult to attack? It's even harder than a city!" Jin Wushu said secretly.
When the Jurchens destroyed the Liao Dynasty, they had just arrived on the grassland north of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the royal family of Liao Kingdom had already fled and threw the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Jurchens, so the Jurchens did not attack this pass at all.
Now Jin Wushu realized that this pass was difficult to attack to such an extent.
"Fourth Prince, our sons are very tired! It has been two days and three nights now. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that the sons will not be able to stand it!" A thousand-man leader came to Jin Wushu and said.
"It's only two days and three nights! Zong Han led a 100,000 army to attack Taiyuan City, and the siege did not stop for ten days and ten nights. None of our sons at that time said we were tired! In just a few years, you can't hold on for two days and three nights!" Jin Wushu said angrily.
"The Fourth Prince, those Khitans are unwilling to move forward." The thousand-man hesitated for a moment and said.
"If you don't want to move forward, then kill me!" Jin Wushu said.
"But there are too many people killed, and I am afraid that the Khitans will rebel! Over the past period of time, the rebellion of the Khitans has often happened. Although the scale is not large, we must be careful." said the chief of thousands of men.
