dark night.

Dozens of large ships suddenly sailed on the silent sea.

On the leading ship.

Hu Yanqing asked a small school named Fan Jiangjin under his command: "Have you found out that there are really no hidden reefs here?"

Fan Jiangjin said solemnly: "Don't worry about the control, I took our brothers to check carefully, there is absolutely only sand here, and there are no hidden reefs."

Hu Yanqing asked again: "Then where is the waterline?"

Fan Jiangjin came from a rough background and didn't know much about these professional terms, but he could speak in his own language.

Fan Jiangjin said: "Let's drive another stick of incense at the current speed, the big ship will not be able to go, and then we will have to let the small boat go out of luck."

Hu Yanqing nodded, and then told the messenger: "Go and inform Li Tongzhi to make preparations."

After a stick of incense, dozens of large ships put down hundreds of small boats that can carry five to ten people, and then these small boats ran back and forth dozens of times to send the Tabai army ashore.

Hu Yanqing followed him ashore, and asked Li Zong, who was putting on his legs, "Is it true that we don't need our amphibious army to go with you?"

Li Zong said: "Yue Dutong will launch a general attack in the evening, so there should be no delay."

Hearing what Li Zong said, Hu Yanqing felt helpless!

It is true that their amphibious army cannot outrun the white army.

No.

It should be said that no troops can run past the White Army.

What's more, there are two mountains to climb.

Therefore, Hu Yanqing really has no confidence that the amphibious army can keep up with the white army.

Hu Yanqing said: "Then I will wait for your good news."

Li Zong nodded, and then gestured to the flag commander.

Seeing this, the flag commander immediately waved the flag in his hand.

Seeing the order, the soldiers of the Stepbai Army quickly divided themselves into five battalions, and then entered the mountain in an orderly manner.

……

Goryeo also has the Great Wall.

However, the Great Wall was not built by Goryeo, but by Goguryeo hundreds of years ago during the Tang Dynasty.

The Great Wall runs from Fuyu in the northeast to Bohai Sea in the southwest, and it is more than a thousand miles long. It took 16 years to complete it.

Goguryeo's western frontier military towns Fuyu, Xincheng, Xuanyuan, Liaodong, Shabei, Gaimu, Anshi, and Jian'an are arranged in a north-south line.

These cities happen to be arranged in the northeast and southwest directions.

Goguryeo built the Great Wall to connect all these places and turned it into a western defense line with important border military towns as the main stronghold, and used it to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty army.

Time has passed, and with the changes in history, this Great Wall has actually existed in name only, and a large part of it is in Liaodong, not Koryo.

but--

There is still a part of this Great Wall protecting Korea.

Dingyuan Pass is a part of this part.

For more than 100 years, Dingyuan Pass has been protecting the Northwest of Korea.

Today, Dingyuan Pass is the most important pass on the way forward for Yue Fei and others.

Yue Fei raised his head to look at the sky, and saw that the sun was already in the west - one hour later was the time for the general attack he had agreed with Li Zong.

Yue Fei ordered: "Get ready."

Liu Min said: "Is it a little early?"

Yue Fei said: "Be early, if there is a change, you can adapt to the situation."

Hearing what Yue Fei said, Liu Min didn't say anything more.

Bury the pot to make food, and the whole army wears armor.

The [-] troops were preparing in an orderly manner.

Seeing Yue Fei's solemn expression, Liu Min said: "Don't be too nervous, we will definitely be able to pass this pass, just like we crossed the Yalu River before, and then drove straight to capture Xijing, Korea."

Yue Fei said: "The reason why we were able to cross the Yalu River without any danger is because of the help of the Sun Never Set Fleet. If there were no masters of the Sun Never Set Fleet to attack the Korean navy from underwater, we would never have passed so easily. Yalu River."

Liu Min said: "Isn't there also an amphibious army and a white army this time?"

Yue Fei said: "They have to travel more than 100 miles through the enemy-occupied area to go around the enemy's rear in this unfamiliar area. How can this be so easy?"

Liu Min also felt that Hu Yanqing and Li Zong would not be able to complete this arduous task, but he still encouraged Yue Fei: "These two armies were carefully cultivated by the emperor, and the soldiers were all selected from the entire Liangshan army. Impossible."

Yue Fei said: "I hope so... as long as we pass this test, we will definitely be able to attack Huanglong directly!"

……

Sunset in the west.

It was the time Yue Fei and Li Zong had agreed upon.

But the agreed letter cannon did not sound.

Yue Fei's eyebrows became tighter and tighter!
Liu Min came over and asked, "The capital is in charge, what should I do? Are you still fighting?"

Yue Fei took a deep breath and said, "Fight! Qi can be gathered but not scattered. If you don't fight today, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be low. When we are here, we may never be able to pass this test."

Speaking of this, Yue Fei said loudly: "Niu Gao, Wang Gui listen to the order!"

Niu Gao and Wang Gui clasped their fists at the same time and said: "The end is here!"

Yue Fei said: "Can you break through this barrier for Your Majesty?"

Niu Gao said: "If you can't break through this barrier, Niu Gao is willing to come and see you!"

Wang Guidao: "The last general is also willing to issue a military order!"

Yue Fei said: "Okay! Whatever you need, just ask."

Niu Gao and Wang Gui were also not polite, and directly demanded [-] civilians and all the bed crossbows, flying thunder cannons and corresponding siege equipment in the army.

As soon as the battle started, Niu Gao ordered the bed crossbows to shoot all the stepping arrows.

The belt pass was full of stepping arrows, Niu Gao ordered to put pockets on the bed crossbow strings, and then shot jackdaw arrows to suppress the crossbows on the pass.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the civilian husband cooperated with the artillery and braved the enemy's arrows to push the unscrupulous cannon into range...

Arrows fly!

Artillery fire!

Under the protection of the heavy armored infantry, the death squads of the Liangshan Army rushed to the pass wave after wave...

The defenders on the pass used all kinds of tricks, just to prevent the Liangshan army from overstepping the thunder pool...

The two sides fought fiercely until late at night...

Speaking of this, some people may be puzzled, didn't the Liangshan army have steel-wheeled fire cabinets, why did they climb the city wall to attack Dingyuan Pass?

There is no other reason, only because the city wall in front of Dingyuan Pass is too thick, and the steel wheel fire cabinet simply cannot blast such a thick city wall.

It is possible to close the door, but the offensive there is too fierce.

In addition, and most importantly, Yue Fei still had hope for the White Army, so he wanted to use a fierce attack to attract all the enemies to the front and give the White Army a chance to break the city.

……

Midday on the moon.

Yue Fei's face sank like water.

This Goryeo Western Army really deserves to be a strong army that has fought against Liao and Jin for many years, and it really didn't give Liangshan Army a chance.

But the White Army never showed up.

Judging from the current situation, tonight's attack should be in vain, and the city cannot be captured.

Yue Fei was burning with anxiety, "Why hasn't the Tabai army arrived yet? Is there something unexpected?"

Li Yan asked Yue Fei to take advantage of the emptiness of Goryeo and lead the partial army to go straight to Goryeo's heart, that is, go straight to Goryeo Xijing, complete the beheading, and end the battle.

And to complete this arduous task, you must be fast, otherwise, when the Koryo army returns to aid, the Liangshan army will have to spend ten times, a hundred times as much effort if they want to cut down Koryo!

Therefore, Yue Fei couldn't afford to delay.

But this Dingyuan pass is so unbreakable, where is the only hope, the white army?

The point is, Yue Fei doesn't have many troops, so he can't afford to lose.

Seeing that Niu Gao and Wang Gui had already lost two or three thousand elites, and the White Army hadn't come out yet, Yue Fei finally couldn't help but order: "Ming Jin..."

But before Yue Fei could say the word "retreat", "Boom!"—a loud noise that shook the sky and the earth suddenly sounded!
After a short reaction, Yue Fei realized that the Tabai army must have blown up the wall behind Dingyuan Pass. He was overjoyed and quickly ordered: "Quick! General attack!"
