The army that came from afar was the two thousand vanguard cavalry sent by Wanyan Zongwang. They were led by two thousand men, Pu Cha and Sheng Guo. Because the mountain road was narrow, the two rode horses in front and led a long team.

These two thousand people are the elite of the Jin soldiers, but their elites are more reflected in their equipment. The horses are strong and well-equipped. Each of them is wearing iron helmets and armor. Ordinary bows and arrows cannot penetrate their armor from thirty steps. Each soldier has a shield on his back, a sword on his waist, a standard spear from the Liao Kingdom in his hand, and a bow and arrow on his saddle. Each soldier is superb in cavalry and has extremely strong combat power.

At this time, Hua Rong smiled at Guan Sheng and said, "The first arrow let me send you a profit market!"

Guan Sheng nodded. Although his archery skills were good, they were still much worse than Hua Rong. Hua Rong was known as the second arrow in the world, second only to Li Yanqing.

Hua Rong took the dragon-patterned eagle bow, pulled out a wolf-toothed arrow from the quiver on his back, buckled the string and opened the bow, waiting for the Jin soldiers to approach. At this time, the Jin soldiers were about eighty steps away from the farthest sandbag wall, and one hundred steps away from Hua Rong.

He pulled his bow like a full moon, half-squinted his eyes. In the half-light and half-dark twilight, the bowstring loosened and a wolf-toothed arrow shot out like lightning. The long rope galloping on the edge of the mountain road was caught off guard and was shot through his throat by an arrow. He screamed muffled, turned over and fell off his horse, and rolled into the abyss on the side.

Pu Cha, another commander next to him, was shocked, grabbed the reins and hid on the side of the war horse, and hid in the third row. At this time, Hua Rong's second wolf-tooth arrow shot, and an arrow hit the urethra. The war horse neighed miserably, jumped off the cliff like a madman, and the cavalry immediately screamed.

The sudden change only happened in an instant. Other cavalrymen tied their horses and raised their shields. The commander Pucha had retreated to the middle of the team. He grabbed the guide and shouted sternly: "Where is this?"

Someone translated it and the guide said tremblingly: "There is the Madam's Pass in front of me, which is very worn out and there is not even a closing door!"

When he heard that there was a pass ahead, Pucha looked carefully and then he realized that in the twilight, a pass was vaguely visible in front of him. It turned out that there were ambushes in front of him.

Everyone looked at Pucha, and of course it was impossible for Pucha to withdraw his troops. He was the vanguard, who set up a road in a mountain, built a bridge in a water, and pulled out the enemy's fortress. These were all tasks that he had to complete.

From a distance, this Guancheng doesn't look big, and can only accommodate more than a hundred people at most, which means that the number of Song soldiers is not large. They must be soldiers coming to Jingxing to patrol the countryside, or village soldiers in the county town ahead.

He immediately shouted loudly: "The first team rushed through the pass!"

A centurion shouted, "Follow me!"

He led a hundred cavalrymen with shields toward the Niangzi Pass on the slope. The Jurchens were extremely skillful in riding. Although they were running on the narrow mountain road, they were not messy. They were like a sharp spear to head straight to the city gate. But when they were still thirty steps away from the first sandbag wall, the three war horses in front suddenly rolled to the ground, and rushed down the cliff with their men and horses. This was the thorns thorns that the war horse stepped on to the ground.

At the same time, the fifty scouts at the Madam's closure fired the divine arm crossbow, and a row of fifty arrows were shot out in a row, shooting towards the cavalry running towards him like a strong wind and rain. Even shields could not stop the powerful crossbow arrows within a hundred steps. The cavalry were caught in the arrows and fell off their horses. Some fell on the mountain road, while others fell into the cliff. With a scream, they instantly shot and killed more than a dozen cavalrymen in front. Even the centurion was shot through the chest by an arrow and died tragically on the spot.

The soldiers hiding above the cliff above their heads also shot arrows, but they did not shoot people, but horses. These soldiers were basically hunters of Taihang Mountain, with accurate archery skills, and the horses were constantly being shot in the arrows and began to become chaotic. In the collision with pain, many war horses fell off the cliff of Baizhang, and the hundred cavalry soon lost more than half.

The sound of trumpets urging the battle sounded behind him. Pucha did not allow the cavalry to withdraw and forced them to continue to rush forward. In the chaos, the cavalry continued to run forward, and war horses continued to stomp and fall down. At this time, the second round of divine arm crossbow arrows shot again like heavy rain. More than 20 cavalrymen were caught and turned over and fell off their horses. The remaining cavalry had already rushed to the first mud bag wall.

The mud bag wall is about five feet high. If it is flat ground, the cavalry can lift the horses and jump over it, but this is a slope of about twenty degrees and the horses cannot jump over it. The cavalry had to turn around and run back to the team. Originally, one hundred people attacked, but when they retreated, only a dozen people were left, and most of the cavalry fell into the cliff and died.

After listening to the cavalry's report, the commander Pu Cha frowned, and there were actually thorns and roadblocks on the ground. Obviously, the cavalry could not rush to the city, and he had to dismount and fight.

Pucha knew how to deal with the thorns on the mountain road. He ordered people to cut down dozens of thick branches covered with branches and leaves, and then the soldiers raised their shields to protect them. Five hundred soldiers squatted on the ground and walked forward. More than a dozen soldiers used the branches as big brooms in front, swept the thorns on the mountain road left and right, swept the thorns down the cliff, or swept into the gully next to the cliff.

This is indeed a good idea. The thorns on the stone mountain road are easily swept away, but the Jin soldiers also paid the price. Soldiers who were sweeping the ground were shot and killed by arrows. When they swept to the first obstacle, fifteen sweeping soldiers were shot and killed by fourteen.

Just as the Jin soldiers were squatting forward, stones kept rolling down on their heads. Even if there were shields to resist, many soldiers were still injured.

At this time, ten Song army scouts rushed to the cliff and mingled with the camp soldiers. They were just above the heads of five hundred soldiers. Ten soldiers took out the iron fire thunder and lit the lead with the fire thunder. The lead was smoked. When it reached the wooden handle, ten iron fire thunders were thrown down. "Everyone lie down!" The soldiers shouted, and the camp soldiers on the cliff rushed to the ground one after another.

Only a series of explosions were heard at the foot of the mountain, and iron fire thunder exploded among the dense crowd. The fire burst, thick smoke rose into the air, iron sheets flew everywhere, and the poisoned iron nails splashed everywhere, and a large number of enemy troops fell down.

Guan Sheng was overjoyed, "This little hammer is good, I'll give you one too!"

A soldier pulled out an iron fire thunder from the back and handed it to him. Guan Sheng learned how they were, twisting off the wooden lid at the bottom and lit the lead with a fire skewer. The soldier told him nervously, "You must throw it out when it burns to the mouth of the wooden handle!"

Guan Sheng nodded. When the lead wire ignited to the wooden handle, he tried his best to throw the iron fire thunder into the mountain road. In just a moment, with a loud bang, the iron fire thunder exploded, and more than a dozen Jin soldiers fell down.

The remaining Jin soldiers ran back and retreated again, and the bodies on the mountain road were abandoned. Except for two of the eleven iron fire thunders fell into the cliff, the other nine iron fire thunders exploded in a dense crowd, causing more than 200 casualties to Jin soldiers. What's more, most of the more than 100 injured soldiers were hit by highly poisoned iron nails, and they would soon be poisoned and could not hold on.

The Jin soldiers temporarily stopped their attacks. They were not afraid of arrows and stones, but the powerful firearms were too lethal on the mountain road, so they were a little helpless.

At this time, a centurion whispered to Pucha: "We can hold the shield and walk tightly against the stone wall. The stones and arrows on our heads cannot hurt us. Even if the firearm is thrown down, we can squat down and use the shield to block it in time, so that the casualties will be reduced a lot."

Pu Cha nodded. This method was very good. He immediately sent another 300 people to follow the centurion's plan and walk slowly against the rock wall. Because there were huge rocks protruding above his head, the arrows and stones above him could not hurt them. Their biggest threat was the iron fire thunder and the divine arm crossbow.

Ten more iron fire thunders were thrown from above the head, and the Jin soldiers were so scared that they raised their shields and squatted down. Amid the violent explosion, the killing effect of the iron fire thunder was indeed greatly reduced. The iron sheets and iron nails were flying in all directions. Only a very small number of Jin soldiers shot towards the corners, and most of them were blocked by shields. Only more than 20 people were killed by shock waves, or were injured by iron nails shot through the shield, and the number of casualties was significantly reduced.

In just a moment, the soldiers rushed to the first mud bag wall. Dozens of Jin soldiers took action together. They dragged the mud bags and threw them off the cliff. In a very short time, the mud bag wall, which was seven feet long and three feet wide, was cleaned up.

The Jin soldiers acted as usual, and hundreds of Jin soldiers began to march against the mountain wall and headed towards the second mud bag wall. Although crossbow arrows kept shooting the enemy troops walking against the wall, a round of crossbow arrows could only shoot seven or eight people, and the killing effect was far less than the original frontal shooting.
