Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 249 Capture Gubeikou

Two days later, Han Yuqing came back with the guards and told Qin Guan that the things had been hidden. Qin looked at the red dot on the map, nodded, and put the map into the space.

"Master, 13 shi of food has been prepared, enough to feed us and horses for more than two months, and other supplies are also ready." Xiong Dahui reported.

"Master, now our soldiers are all one man and two horses. The entire Great Zhao Kingdom doesn't have such luxury as us." Xiong Er said.

"General, more than 5 catties of gunpowder have been prepared, and all the materials in Xijin Mansion have been collected, and so much has been produced."

Qin nodded, it should be enough.

In the last attack on Xijin Mansion, more than 2 catties of gunpowder were used, and there are still [-] catties left. Naturally, the more such things, the better for Qin Guan.

Xijin Mansion is moving forward, there is no bigger city, and it is difficult to replenish supplies, so Qin Guan searched the entire Xijin Mansion this time, and replenished all the supplies that can be replenished.

Qin Guan had already received a secret report from Jinling that the emperor was going to promote his father Qin Zhang, and also bestowed the titles on his mother and grandmother as his wives.

Qin Guan is quite satisfied with this reward, and his father, grandma and mother should also be very happy.

In the commander's tent, all the generals were there, Qin Guan pointed to the map and said, "We have been repairing in Xijin Mansion for seven days, and the supplies are ready, it's time to go."

"I'm planning to go to Tanzhou to reach the foot of the Great Wall. The Liao Kingdom also has heavily guarded troops on the Great Wall. I'm going to go here," Qin Guan pointed at a place on the map, which was named Gubeikou.

Rumble.

Zhao Guobei Road army moved out, this time no one was left behind, and they directly evacuated from the Jin mansion. When Zhao Yanshou, who stayed behind, heard the news, he wept with joy, "My God, they finally left, and my little life is saved!" gone."

But then he was worried again. How should Xijin Mansion be managed in the future? He doesn’t have a single soldier in his hands, not even a government servant. Xijin Mansion still has 10,000+ Liao people. I’m afraid it will be busy in the future. .

When it was known that Zhao Jun had withdrawn, the people of Liao Kingdom in Xijin Mansion were all thankful. Those Zhao Jun did not start killing in Xijin Mansion, which was already a great favor to them.

In fact, the biggest reason why Qin Guan didn't massacre the city was because most of the people in Xijin Mansion were Han Chinese.

Yes, they are all Han Chinese.

This is the territory of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which was the territory of the Han people a hundred years ago, and most of the people here are still of Han descent.

Those Khitan people, Xi people, Bohai people, and Jurchen people are just a few.

Qin Guan felt that this reason was enough.

However, everyone in Xijin Mansion remembered a name, Qin Guan.

This day, he broke through the Xijin Mansion, wiped out the [-] Liao army, and made the Liao general Yelu Qicai hate the general of the Zhao State.

Tanzhou, also known as Miyun in later generations.

Earlier, sporadic people from the Liao Kingdom who had escaped from Xijin Mansion passed through Tanzhou and told the officials and generals on duty about the battle situation of Xijin Mansion. Tanzhou Mansion only had a total of [-] soldiers, so how could it be possible to stop Zhao Guo? Forty thousand troops.

Together, the two of them decided to flee with the common people.

Qin Guan rushed to Tanzhou with the North Route Army, and was preparing to attack Tanzhou City in a big battle, but found that the city gate was wide open. Qin Guan didn't believe in any empty city plan, so he sent people in to check, and found that the entire Tanzhou City was almost destroyed. empty.

Except for those who were really unable to escape, almost everyone else ran away.

Ask those who haven't left, it turns out that they all left three days ago, and they should have already passed the Great Wall.

The next day, the army continued to set off and finally arrived at the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is thousands of miles long. Speaking of it, there are more than 200 passes in the Great Wall. Among them, the most famous eight passes are Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan, Zijingguan, Yanmenguan, Niangziguan, Piantouguan, Jiayuguan and Yumenguan. Some passes, such as the one in front of you, Gubeikou.

Gubeikou is the fortress of the Great Wall between Shanhaiguan and Juyongguan. It is the "throat" from the Liaodong Plain and Inner Mongolia to the Central Plains.

In modern times, Qin Guan had never been here, but he had watched movies about the battle for Gubeikou in movies, such as "Assembly".

Gubeikou pass is not tall, it is estimated to be only four or five meters high, with continuous mountains on both sides, and the Great Wall extends to both sides, like a long winding dragon.

The defender of Gubeikou, Shi Mida, had already received the battle report. He knew that the Zhao people would probably pass through these passes when they attacked the north, so he made preparations in advance. Gubeikou has already stockpiled [-] defenders, and the surrounding Great Wall pass All the people have been called.

The terrain of Gubeikou is narrow, so what if there are so many Zhao soldiers, he can't spread out at all, he can only compete with them for the section of Gubeikou Pass, Shi Mida has already received the military order, and the general in charge Yelushi has led [-] Yulin troops to rush here Come on, it only takes two days, as long as he can hold on for two days, the army will arrive, and Zhao Jun will definitely be killed by then.

Smita was wearing a battle armor and kept patrolling the city, shouting loudly: "Cheer up, everyone, as long as Zhao people dare to attack the city, I will kill them fiercely. Arrows, rolling logs, stones, give me all!" I threw it out desperately, as long as we hold it for two days, when the Imperial Forest Army arrives, we will have done a great job, and everyone will be rewarded at that time."

Qin watched the narrow Gubei Pass and asked Xiong Da, "How are you going to fight?"

Xiong Da looked at it, and then said: "Master, I'm going to use a small catapult to shoot the explosives over, directly blowing them into a daze, and then the archers and machine gunners cover, and the soldiers rush up. As long as the first wave Go ahead and we'll win."

Qin Guan smiled.

Xiong Da's mind is really sharp. He learned how to use new weapons so quickly, such as explosive kits, heavy machine guns, adding archers, and climbing the city with ladders, without any sense of disobedience.

"Just do as you say." Qin Guan ordered.

Small catapults were pushed forward one by one. Unlike those big catapults, the size and length of these small catapults were very similar to ordinary cars in later generations. There were four wheels on them, which could be pushed and run, which was very convenient. Shangjin, a stone bullet is placed in a place similar to a spoon, and it can be fired by stepping on the machine, somewhat similar to a crossbow.

However, this small trebuchet also has a very fatal shortcoming, that is, the range is short, only 300 meters, and it is within the shooting range of the enemy's bow and arrow. Therefore, when using it, you need to pay attention to the enemy's bow and arrow shooting to protect the safety of the trebuchet operator. .

"Start attacking."

"Come on."

Hula la, the soldiers of the Northern Route Army formed a team of two and ran forward pushing a small trebuchet.

The guards of the Liao Kingdom saw the people of the Zhao Kingdom approaching, and shot arrows quickly. The soldiers of the North Route Army who led the way raised their thick wooden shields to block the incoming arrows.
