Water Margin people

Yuguan.

"Unexpectedly, this group of Jurchens also wanted to take advantage of the situation and secretly sent troops to prepare to enter Yanyun!"

Li Zhu looked at the Jurchen army outside Yuguan.

The Northern Expedition by Li Zhu and others went very smoothly, and they captured Pingzhou with great momentum. However, when they were preparing to go to Jinzhou, they met Jurchens who had the same idea, and the leader was Jin Wushu, an old acquaintance.

"Luckily we have this Yuguan, otherwise we wouldn't be able to take advantage if we were in close combat in this kind of terrain!"

Lin Chong said, from Pingzhou to Liaodong, there is only a long and narrow corridor, with mountains on one side and the sea on the other. The road is more than 300 miles, the widest point is [-] miles, and the narrowest point is only [-] miles. This kind of terrain It is almost a paradise for heavy cavalry. If there is no Yu Pass to guard it, they are afraid of retreating.

"Yue Fei, come out if you dare!"

Jin Wushu led the army to call for battle at Guanxia.

"This guy is really haunted!"

Yue Fei said angrily, he was about to enter Liaodong to make contributions, why did this Jin Wushu suddenly appear.

However, Yue Fei is not afraid of Jin Wushu and rides directly out of the pass. In front of the formation of the two armies, the momentum must not be weak!

"Why, your defeated general dares to make noise?"

Yue Fei looked at Jin Wushu and said, Jin Wushu was beaten miserably by them last time.

"Yue Fei, today is the day you die!"

Jin Wushu looked at Yue Feidao ferociously.

"If you have the ability, come and attack the city gate. Let me see what you are capable of!"

Yue Fei said disdainfully, but he was confused in his heart. How could Jin Wushu, who suffered a big loss last time, find the courage to say this now.

"No, there must be a secret!"

Seeing Jin Wushu's proud smile, Yue Fei suddenly became alert.

After Jin Wushu finished speaking, he returned to the formation. After a while, a large number of equipment was launched from the Jurchen army formation.

"Hmph, I want these thieves to know how powerful I am!"

Jin Wushu laughed proudly. In order to enter Yanyun smoothly this time, he brought a large number of advanced siege equipment, including cannon stones, caves, goose carts, side bridges, cloud ladders, and fire ladders.

"This group of Jurchens are really not simple!"

On the city, Li Zhu sighed, everyone said that the Jurchens were uncivilized barbarians, but these "barbarians" in front of them were smarter than the people in the Central Plains, and their use of equipment was not like that of barbarians.

"These equipment are not simple! We have to be careful!"

Wang Jin frowned as he looked at the equipment.

"Guys, what do you think?"

Li Zhu looked at Zongze and the other three and asked.

"These instruments look extraordinary, I think we should avoid their sharp edges!"

Zongze said, the enemy has nearly [-] troops. Although Yuguan is dangerous, resisting forcefully is not an option.

"Didn't we also bring artillery? Are we afraid of what they will do?"

Yue Fei said, they brought a lot of artillery. Although they were only artillery that fired solid projectiles, these were improved by Ling Zhen. Those of the Jurchens were not enough.

"It's not a good time to reveal your strength yet."

Zongze shook his head. The Jurchens were coming fiercely, and the safest way to fight was to let the Jurchens reveal their trump cards.

"Send the order for the whole army to retreat to the pass!"

Li Zhu said that he also thought what Zongze said was right. The enemies were all heavy cavalry, and it was not appropriate for them to take the initiative in terrain like the Liaoxi Corridor.

"It's really frustrating!"

Yue Fei complained, but he also knew that this was a safe choice.

Jin Wushu gave the order and thirty cannons were fired directly.

"Boom! Boom!" Explosions sounded above Yuguan.

"This Jurchen actually has gunpowder!"

Li Yan's expression changed slightly. He knew very well how terrifying gunpowder was. Jurchens actually had such a powerful weapon.

"Gunpowder has been around for a long time, and it's no secret. Even folk people have firecrackers and fireworks. The Jurchens' gunpowder is not very powerful."

Zongze looked at the explosions and said, compared to Liangshan's gunpowder, the Jurchens' gunpowder is nothing.

"This trebuchet...the rocks are a bit big!"

Yang Zhi looked at the flying stones and frowned and said, gunpowder is the second most troublesome thing, the trebuchet should be the most troublesome. The largest stone is probably fifty or sixty kilograms, and the damage of this kind of stone is no less than that of ordinary artillery. .

"The Jurchen equipment is really powerful!"

Liu Fa sighed and said that he had been fighting with the Xixia people in the northwest all year round, and he had never seen foreigners with such sophisticated equipment.

The Liangshan army hid behind Yuguan. Although the Jurchens' artillery and stone attacks were powerful, they did not cause any real damage.

Jin Wushu also saw that no one was behind closed doors, but he didn't care. He just wanted to build momentum. Liangshan had caused sabotage in Liaodong several times, and he had to destroy this momentum.

Drums sounded, artillery machines bombarded, and Yuguan was ablaze!
"We can't keep getting bombarded like this, right?"

Yue Fei looked at Zongze and asked, if the fight continues like this, Yuguan cannot be defended.

"The enemies are all heavy cavalry, I'm afraid it's impossible to go out in this kind of terrain!"

Zongze shook his head and said, all he could think of was holding on. Light cavalry and infantry were the best choices to hold on in this terrain.

"However, it's not impossible!"

Zongze looked at Xi Mian.

"If we can cross that mountain and make a surprise attack on the enemy's rear, there will be a chance!"

Zongze pointed to Linyu Mountain to the west. Although the enemy's heavy cavalry was powerful, not all of the [-] troops were heavy cavalry. There were always supplies and supplies in the rear.

"The mountain?"

Yue Fei frowned as he looked at Linyu Mountain to the west. This mountain also belongs to the Yanshan Mountains. Although the mountain is steep, as long as it is a mountain, there must be a road. However, the mountain road is rugged and can only be passed by a small number of people.

"Quickly go find some local mountain hunters!"

Yue Fei said to the soldiers around him that the people who know the situation in the mountains best must be the locals. People here often go into the mountains to hunt and collect mountain products, and they must know some secret roads and trails.

"If I can get around it, I have an idea!"

Li Assistant touched his short beard and said.

"Military division, come and listen!"

Yue Fei's face lit up, and everyone looked over.

"On the one hand, a small number of soldiers and horses are used to walk up the mountain road to the enemy's rear and burn the baggage and supplies. On the front, they attract these Jurchens to the seaside and bombard them with naval anti-ship artillery."

Li Zhu said, it is difficult for them to fight heavy cavalry, but the navy is not afraid. The caliber of ship defense guns is very large and the range is extremely long.Moreover, the beaches and mud on the seaside can make it difficult for heavy cavalry to move forward.

"This plan is good!"

Zongze's eyes lit up. He had never considered the navy. There were dozens of warships in Liangshan above the Bohai Sea.

"Then do it!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

The Jurchen cannons and rocks continued to bombard them until dark. Jin Wushu proudly led his troops to retreat and set up camp, as if they could defeat Yue Fei and others.

"Your Majesty, there is a road that can be walked in this mountain, but there are cracks in the mountains in several places. People can only pass sideways, and horses will never be able to pass! There are also several cliffs that need to be climbed up and down. .”

The local hunters who came here indeed knew a small road, but people could only pass through that road with difficulty, and it was impossible for the army to pass by.

"As long as you can pass others!"

But Yue Fei didn't care. Fighting was a human matter, not a horse matter.
