Chapter 465 0461 [Yanmen Pass! 】

Wow!

Kuang Zixin stood on the port pier, letting the sea breeze blow on him.

It's getting a little warmer in Haizhou in February, but the sea breeze is still biting on the face.

Not long after, on the sea in the distance, three groups of Shenzhou battleships rode the wind and waves, galloping towards them.

Seeing this scene, Kuang Zixin breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s finally here!

If the fighter plane was delayed, he really didn't know how to explain it to His Majesty.

A quarter of an hour later, three Shenzhou battleship groups arrived at the port.

A vigorous figure jumped off the Shenzhou, walked quickly towards Kuang Zixin, bowed and clasped his fists: "General Sun Zhi, I have seen Brigadier Kuang, all three Shenzhou battleship groups must arrive."

……

"The last general takes command!"

Da Da Da~
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard, and a messenger came galloping on horseback.

"Wan Sheng!"

This thing is too heavy, weighing five to six thousand kilograms each, and is extremely slow to transport. If we don't prepare in advance, we won't be able to make it in time on the day we do it.

After preparing for so long, the war is finally about to begin.

Because of this, Han Zhen handed over Yingzhou to Han Shizhong.

The ordering soldier turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "The military headquarters has an order, ordering the Haizhou Navy to set off in three days and must arrive in Hangzhou within ten days."

Han Shizhong looked up to the sky and roared, feeling his blood boiling all over.

"The last general takes command!"

Han Zhen moved his finger to Yanmen Pass on the sand table and said solemnly: "I personally led an army of 40,000 to seize Yanmen Pass and enter Shuozhou."

The key to breaking the situation lies in Yingzhou.

"Han Shizhong is in charge of Yingzhou, commanding 30,000 troops, and Yu Jun is the deputy general. He will seize Jincheng and Hunyuan counties within eight days, and station troops in Shenwu Town, Longshou Mountain. He will stop the Jin army's counterattack at all costs."

All the generals responded in unison.

"The last general takes command!"

Kuang Zixin nodded and ordered: "Thank you for your hard work. Let the soldiers rest where they are and wait for military orders."

This battle was a battle to establish their navy's reputation.

Although Yingzhou is small in area, it is the closest to Datong, Xijing, only a hundred miles away, making it an important strategic location.

If Wanyan Zonghan didn't want to be dumped, he would definitely fight back with all his strength.

Looking around at the crowd, Han Zhen said loudly: "This battle can only be won, not defeated. Once defeated, our country of Qi will fall into a situation that will never be restored. But if we win, Yan Yun is in hand, and the offense and defense can be transformed."

The next day.

Yuzhou is located in the gap between Hengshan, Yanshan and Taihang Mountains. The three mountains are also divided into two parts.

……

It's cold in the north, but there's a basin in the south.

Han Zhen, Han Shizhong and other generals sat around the sand table, making final tactical arrangements.

Longshou and Yanmen mountains correspond to each other in the north and south, hence the name Yingzhou.

Sun Zhi answered with cupped fists.

On the left is Shuozhou and on the right is Yuzhou.

"The last general takes command!"

Han Zhen ordered: "It's getting late, you guys should rest early and rise early tomorrow morning to attack the gold!"

Late at night, the lights in the White Tiger Hall were still bright.

February 23rd.

Siege guns made of brass were transported to the border at night.

"For Yuzhou, Wei Da is in charge, with Xiao Wu as deputy general and 20,000 troops. We must capture Pingxing Pass and seize Lingqiu and Feihu cities within ten days. Then we will station troops in Shimen Valley, Beikou Valley, Jiugongkou Valley, and Songzhikou Valley. , Jinhekou Valley and other eight passes, waiting for opportunities."

At the junction of the north and south, between the mountains, there are eight passes.

Kuang Zixin bowed in response, and then looked at each other with Sun Zhi, each seeing high-spirited fighting spirit in the other's eyes.

Yu Jun responded loudly.

Once Yingzhou is captured, Han Zhen's attempt to encircle him will be broken.

While waiting for the army to arrive, Han Zhen was not idle. The spies from the scout battalion came out in full force and killed all the spies of the Jin Army on the border. Although the overt and hidden sentries at each pass were not moved for the time being, they were all marked. , you can do it at any time.

Their expressions changed.

He Guan and Wei Da arrived at the military camp in Gupu, Xicao.

The military camp was busy.

Not long after, the three armies set off in batches.

……

Three days later, Han Zhen led 40,000 troops into Daizhou and headed straight for Yanmen Pass.

Today's Daizhou belongs to Zhao and Song Dynasties in name, but is actually under the jurisdiction of Qi State.

The officials turned a deaf ear to Zhao Song's decrees, but the decrees from Zhending Mansion were strictly implemented.

Yanmen Pass.

It was first established by King Wuling of Zhao during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Li Mu was sent to guard this pass to prevent the Xiongnu from going south.

After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he sent Meng Tian to lead 300,000 Qin troops out of Yanmen, regained Hetao, and built the Great Wall!
The Great Wall and the rolling mountains became the most important barrier for later generations of the Central Plains dynasty to resist the barbarians from the north.

Because of this, there is a saying that "there are nine fortresses in the world, and Yanmen is the leader".

"Tangshu Geography" describes this place as "steep mountains on the east and west, with a road in the middle, winding and rugged, and a pass at the top. It is called Lixixing Pass, also known as Yanmen Pass."

Wanyan Zonghan naturally knew the importance of Yanmen Pass, but the reason why he only garrisoned a thousand troops was because the location of Yanmen Pass was too dangerous, and the tower was stuck between the mountain tops, so it was impossible to garrison more troops.

The weather is a bit gloomy today, and it seems like a spring rain is brewing.

As we are about to enter March, everything is full of life and green.

Among the high mountains, a lone wolf was walking lamely through the dense forest.

A lone wolf cannot survive long without the pack.

Without the cooperation of other wolves, hunting would be much more difficult, not to mention that this lone wolf was lame in one leg.

After struggling through the cold winter, the lone wolf was so hungry that he was left with only skin and bones and sparse hair.

At this moment, a hare not far away attracted its attention. A hint of greed flashed through the green eyes of the lone wolf, dragging its lame leg as it cautiously approached the hare.

It's getting closer, getting closer, and I'm about to succeed.

Zheng!
A sound of tearing cloth resounded in the jungle.

The sound was not loud, but in the silent mountain forest, it was extremely clear.

The hare was frightened, jumped away quickly, and disappeared into the weeds and shrubs in the blink of an eye.

The lone wolf was also startled, and was about to turn around and run away, but his keen sense of smell caught the smell of blood.

In the bushes not far away, three figures in gray robes stood up and walked quickly towards this side.

Glancing at the lone wolf, one of them raised the divine arm crossbow.

When another person saw it, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the crossbow of the god's arm, and whispered: "Don't cause trouble, it's just a lame wolf, don't pay attention to it."

While talking, the three of them walked past the lone wolf and walked into the mountains.

A Jinjun lay on his back with his eyes wide open.

An arrow penetrated the iron armor, pierced deeply into the heart, and came out through the body.

One person handles the body, another person cleans up the blood stains, and another person is responsible for guarding. The cooperation complements each other perfectly.

After handling the scene, the three people quickly lurked again.

The lone wolf had not gone far, standing on a small slope in the distance, staring down unblinkingly.

It was difficult to get food, and the buried body was enough to feed it for several days.

Half an hour later, the sound of footsteps came from afar.

Jin Jun was cursing and speaking Khitan, obviously in a bad mood.

Suddenly, Jin Jun discovered the lone wolf on the hillside in the distance. He took off the hand crossbow from his waist, pointed it at the lone wolf and was about to shoot.

Whoosh! ! !
Three blasts of wind rang in my ears.

Jin Jun's pupils shrank suddenly, and just as he was about to shout, he saw three arrows shooting from different directions.

One of them hit the neck accurately, brought up a handful of blood mist, and was nailed deeply to the tree trunk behind.

The leading scout whispered: "Lao Wu, go back and send a message, saying that the secret sentry on the main peak of Beishan has been cleared."

"Order!"

Lao Wu responded, turned and left.

He moved swiftly, crossing mountains and ridges as if entering the plains, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"This lame guy is better off."

The Qingzhou Army scout who had previously planned to shoot the lone wolf glanced at the lone wolf on the hillside, and then continued to march deeper into the mountains with the captain to occupy the commanding heights.

The war between the scouts was going on silently in the mountains on both sides of Yanmen Pass.

After the two left, the lone wolf waited for a while again. This time dragging his lame leg, he ran quickly towards the two corpses, enjoying God's gift.

……

At noon.

Twenty miles away from Yanmen Pass, a large army marched along the official road.

A scout from the scout battalion rode up to the Chinese army and reported: "Your Majesty, all spies around Yanmen Pass have been cleared."

Twenty miles is already a very short distance for a pass.

However, because all the bright posts and hidden sentries were uprooted, the defenders of Yanmen Pass became blind.

Han Zhen ordered: "Order the scout battalion to stand by and notify the front army to march urgently and be the first to arrive five miles away from Yanmen Pass and prepare to attack the stronghold!"

Soldiers are very fast!
The guards at Yanmen Pass were bound to notice the delay in taking over the guard posts at the Ming Post, and the weather was gloomy, as if a spring rain was coming, so Han Zhen did not intend to delay, but took advantage of the night to capture Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop.

"Order!"

The ordering army immediately conveyed the general order to He Guan, who was in the front army.

After receiving the military order, He Guan immediately led 10,000 front troops and marched towards Yanmen Pass.

As for the Chinese army, it was extremely difficult. Even if they gave up the baggage and food supplies, the weight of more than a dozen siege guns would still be there.

Twenty miles of walking, stopping, and going until late at night before arriving at Yanmen Pass.

After ordering the Chinese army to rest in place, Han Zhen, surrounded by Lao Jiu and other personal guards, mounted his horse and came to the front army.

After a midnight rest, the 10,000 former soldiers had regained their strength.

Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the top of the mountains, and a faint firelight is flickering.

There is Yanmen Pass.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Attack the stronghold!"

"The last general takes command!"

He Guan is not young and has passed the age of knowing his destiny, but he still can't help but be excited at this moment.

Recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun is the lifelong goal of countless generals.

Now Yanzhou has returned, leaving only Yunzhou.

Once Yunzhou is captured, the ancestors will be honored and their name will be left in history.

……

Yanmen Pass.

On top of the city tower, there are many figures.

It's still cold at the end of February, especially late at night on the mountain tops. The mountain breeze can make people shiver with cold.

Experienced veterans will take a few steps towards the torch to warm themselves by the light of the torch.

"Be so damn smart."

Brother Hu Du was wearing an iron armor and a large cloak.

He was a partial general under Xiao Qing, and he thought he would be reused after Xiao Qing joined the Jinren.

As a result, Wanyan Zonghan took him to Yanmenguan, a remote place in the countryside, where he stared at the rolling mountains in a daze all day long.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment in my heart.

But now that the gold has been dropped and the Liao Kingdom is gone, what else can be done?

After inspecting the towers, Brother Hu Du planned to go back and take a nap.

Suddenly, his steps stopped and he froze on the spot.

Boom boom boom!
Vaguely, the sound of footsteps seemed to reach my ears.
