15. Shanhaiguan War

Since then, the Ministry of Works was reborn in the ashes of fire in the hands of the old minister Sun Hua, and he became more and more motivated. He worked until he was 75 years old and returned home. Of course, he returned with reputation and was famous in history!

He died until he was 85 years old. During this period, he also wrote a book called "Regulations of the Ministry of Workers of the Great Cadres", which became a book for the selection of officials of the Great Cadres and was a must-read book for officials of the Ministry of Workers. For this reason, "History of the Great Cadres" also wrote a biography for him. The book even quoted Cao Cao's poem "The old horse is in the stable and has a thousand miles of ambitions. The martyrs are in their old age and have great ambitions" to praise him!

Of course, this is a later story.

However, Sun Hua's reform of the Ministry of Industry has kicked off the curtain for major reforms!

Since then, the great work has entered the era of reform, known in history as "Cultivating the Martial Arts Innovation"!

...

At this time, the battle at Shanhaiguan was extremely tragic, and it could be said to be a sea of ​​corpses, blood flowing into a river!

Kublai Khan's Mongolian army has been attacking Shanhaiguan for three days and three nights. The bodies in front of Shanhaiguan are piled high, including Mongolians, soldiers, and slaves. They are each overlapping with each other. The ground in front of Shanhaiguan is red with blood, and a dark red appears. A group of vultures are flying in the sky. They are coming for the corpses on the bottom, but the battle between the two sides is too fierce. They can only fly far away, watch, get closer, and fly far away.

At this moment, the tragic war can be imagined, but neither side retreated. For their own different purposes, both sides were still killing themselves!

At this time, Shanhaiguan was still so tall and majestic, but many piles had already appeared incomplete, and there were many dark red marks on the walls, which were formed by human blood flowing, and there were many traces of burning fires, leaving many dark traces. This is where war is permeated and the atmosphere of war baptism!

At this time, Zhang Yu stood in front of a broken mercenary and saw a black iron armor that was slightly broken, with many dark red blood stains on it. He looked old and his eyes were red. He was obviously extremely tired. He had no rest for three days and three nights, and ate the same food and the same water as the soldiers.

He could not remember how many times he had sent young sergeants to the top of the city, and how many times he had witnessed the sergeants who had just been sent to turn into corpses and lifted them off the top of the city.

He stood quietly, looking up at the Mongolian camp under the gate, quietly, wondering what he was thinking?

At this time, Kublai Khan was also standing in the Mongolian camp, standing quietly, looking at Shanhaiguan, with a harsh expression but without saying a word.

At this time, the Mongols' 100,000 slave troops had almost been consumed, and more than 50,000 Mongolian troops were transferred into them.

It would be fake to say that Kublai Khan didn’t feel sorry for him, but it would be too sad but not!

As a Mongolian, Kublai Khan was also a hero. He grew up on horseback. He was used to life and death, had seen too many conspiracies, and the iron and blood he admired, his heart was already as hard as iron. This casualty was not enough to move him.

What he was worried about was that his army could not conquer Shanhaiguan for a long time, and if he could not conquer, the reinforcements for the people would be coming soon, and he would not be able to conquer him. For a hero, he would undoubtedly be irritated by things that he could not control!

What Kublai Khan was upset that the Mongolian army could not capture Shanhaiguan for a long time. Three days ago, he was confident that he could capture Shanhaiguan, but three days later, there were obviously too many variables in his mind, and he no longer had much confidence in his ability to capture Shanhaiguan.

So, he was so angry that he shouted sternly: "Come here, I will send Ben Khan's orders, and the whole army will press forward. Ben Khan will capture Shanhaiguan before the evening. This time I will supervise the battle!"

The people below followed suit and Kublai Khan decided to take a gamble. The whole army was pressing forward to see if he could capture Shanhaiguan. Let's talk about it if he couldn't!

...

At this time, although Zhang Yu was exhausted, he was in a very good state of mind. He knew that the time was coming to decide the fate of Shanhaiguan, which was today. As long as he could defend Shanhaiguan today, the reinforcements from the court would arrive tomorrow morning, and the Mongols would never be able to conquer Shanhaiguan again.

So, he said loudly: "Soldiers, I will know that you are tired and hard, but we stand on Shanhaiguan. Behind us is the north, Yanjing, and the whole big task. And today is the day that determines the fate of Shanhaiguan. If we can't defend today, everything will be stopped, but if we keep it, the reinforcements from the court will arrive tomorrow morning. Warriors, show our last courage. The most fierce attack of the Mongolians is coming!"

"Let's sing the ancient military song again!"

"Fight hard and go to the national crisis together.

The blood will not flow dry, and the battle will never stop!

…”

The remaining soldiers on the city gate also sang together:

"Fight hard and go to the national crisis together.

The blood will not flow dry, and the battle will never stop!

…”

Kublai Khan, who was supervising the battle, heard the song and was immediately angry and shouted: "The whole army is pressing!"

Suddenly, the entire Mongolian army rushed up, and a crowd of people rushed towards Shanhaiguan, like a roaring wave, hitting Shanhaiguan violently!

Shanhaiguan was suddenly shaking, Zhang Yu's face became heavier and heavier. Now he had no good idea. He could only go on stage in person, hoping to inspire some morale and kill more enemies. In this place where blood and blood, iron and iron compete with each other, any conspiracy is useless. This place can only be a confrontation between strength and strength, courage and courage!

Suddenly, in the world, blood mist was filled with swords and guns, and hissings and killing sounds were heard one after another. The people on both sides continued to fall down and get up. The bodies were piled up continuously, and blood gathered into a stream and flowed down from the city wall, into the earth, and then into the soil!

The tragedy of the world continues to happen on this land, leaving only a bloody color!

However, the number of defenders in Shanhaiguan is weak after all, and they are exhausted. They are just supporting him with a sense of courage. As time goes by, they are gradually overwhelmed, and the situation in the city is gradually at a disadvantage!

Zhang Yu saw it and was anxious in his heart. The sword in his hand was swinging faster and faster, but his face became heavier and heavier. He ignored the injuries on his body, and could only wave the knife hard to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

Suddenly, he watched his son Zhang Tie and a group of people rushed up the city quickly from the city. He was immediately excited and shouted: "Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived. Everyone should work harder to drive the Mongolians down the city!"

At this time, Zhang Yu didn't care where this reinforcements came from and how many people there were. He just wanted to drive the Mongols down the city and guard Shanhaiguan.

When the defenders on the city heard this, their morale was immediately revived. They forgot their temporary fatigue, devoted themselves to the battle, and their selfless killing increased.

Zhang Tie took this new force and quickly stepped onto the city wall to join the battle.

Zhang Tie saw that there were fewer and fewer personal soldiers around Zhang Yu. Seeing Zhang Yu in danger, he hurriedly squeezed towards Zhang Yu with his men and rescued his father.

Zhang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the blood on his face with his hands, and a feeling of fatigue suddenly came from his body. After all, he was old and injured again, and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Zhang Tie saw the opportunity early and hurriedly walked up to support Zhang Yu, so he did not let Zhang Yu make a fool of himself.

It turned out that this new force was the Dagan Qinhuangdao Navy located not far from Shanhaiguan. The leader was Li Yuan. More than a day ago, he received an edict from the emperor, ordering him to rush to help Shanhaiguan. He quickly summoned his soldiers and rushed to the scene. As soon as he arrived at Shanhaiguan, he found that Shanhaiguan was in a war. He quickly led his soldiers to join the battle and stopped the decline of Shanhaiguan. However, he only had more than 5,000 people under his command, and he was not an elite soldier. It seemed that he could only inspire a wave of courage. These more than 5,000 people would not have any effect when they entered such a war, but it would be better than not!

Kublai Khan, who was supervising the battle, also found this new force, which scared him. He thought that the army that was working hard had arrived, but gradually he found that there were only more than 5,000 people, and they were far less elite than the Shanhaiguan defenders. It seemed that they were just a small group of garrisons near Shanhaiguan. Kublai Khan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, so he issued another military order to strengthen the intensity of the investigation!

Suddenly, Shanhaiguan seemed to be hit hard by a violent storm, and the Mongols rushed towards Shanhaiguan in large areas, regardless of the casualties and injuries, and rushed towards Guancheng. The pressure on the defenders on Guancheng was getting stronger and stronger, and the entire Shanhaiguan was shaking again, and dangers were everywhere!

Seeing all this, Zhang Yu was anxious. He pushed away the personal soldiers who were protecting him, rushed into the battle circle with a big sword. He greeted the Mongolians when he saw that they were crazy and could not survive. When his soldiers saw that the chief generals were like this, their morale suddenly increased. They also rushed towards the Mongolians like crazy, regardless of their injuries and life and death.

Suddenly, the Mongols' offensive was a setback!

At this time, Zhang Yu understood more than anyone else that no matter how much he said without any reserve army, it was useless. It was only the commander who could do it himself to better stimulate the morale and courage of the soldiers. Therefore, he went on stage in person without caring about it. Sure enough, the Mongol offensive was set down again.

The battle is getting more and more intense. Both sides are constantly fighting for each other in the same place, and they live and die. Different soldiers from both sides are constantly falling, falling, and falling again in the same place!

Blood flowed into rivers and corpses piled up in mountains. Both sides attacked each other tirelessly. Gradually, fewer and fewer soldiers of the defenders were fighting, while more and more Mongolians were experiencing more and more!

There are less than 10,000 soldiers standing on the top of the city and fighting hard. They are all injured, but no one retreats, and no one will retreat. This is a battle between two political forces of different ethnic groups and different beliefs. There is advancement but no retreat, life but no death. This is the consumption between life and life!

Zhang Yu didn't care about anything at this time, and fought desperately with the idea of ​​killing Shanhaiguan in battle and not being able to make the Mongols break through!

Suddenly, Zhang Tie shouted loudly: "Dad, our reinforcements have arrived!" A joy of surviving the disaster appeared in his voice!

After hearing this, Zhang Yu quickly turned around and saw a large group of cavalry running towards the wall. He saw a black flag waving in the wind, with only the word "Li" written on it!
