Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Prince's Gaze


This centurion surnamed Yelu has already rode into the gate of Tongguan City.

He does not dare to act rashly because he knows that if he talks or moves randomly, the Beiwei soldiers behind him will shoot him to death.

's head.

In Guancheng, a Jurchen Centurion nodded to the Yelu Centurion and said hello: "Brother Yelu, you are back.

Hey, why don't you see Commander Shuhu?"

However, the centurion of Yelu had a dull expression and did not answer his words.

The Jurchen Centurion suddenly felt surprised.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

Yes, these Yelu cavalrymen are all familiar to each other.

Moreover, each of them was holding a strange object in their hands.

Under the dim sky, there was a bright spot from Mars behind the object.

He suddenly exclaimed: "Who are you and your enemy?"

Before he could shout loudly.

One of the Beiwei soldiers closest to him raised his blunderbuss and shot him in the head.

There was a loud bang, and a blood hole the size of a copper coin appeared on his head, and his body fell straight to the ground like a sawed-down tree.

The short muskets used by the Beiwei soldiers are different from the heavy matchlocks used by the musketeers.

The caliber is small, so it is loaded with a single solid lead bullet, if it is a heavy matchlock gun.

This centurion's head will be beaten into a rotten watermelon.

"Do it!"

Yao Zhen shouted loudly.

The warriors jumped off their horses one after another, drew their sabers with their right hands and galloped towards the stunned Jin soldiers.

Their left hands were still holding the fired matchlock guns.

The Jin soldiers were caught off guard and were killed one after another.

At the same time, a large number of Han soldiers and horses outside the city were galloping toward Tongguan.

"Leave two hundred people to guard the city gate, and the rest will follow me to attack the tower," Yao Zhen shouted loudly.

More than a hundred people followed Yao Zhen and attacked the tower along the corridor.

Yao Zhen had just smashed a golden soldier over with his mace, and the ghost-headed swords of the other two Jurchen soldiers were already slashing at him.

Yao Zhen had no time to draw back his weapon, raised his hand and fired a shot, hitting one of them in the chest, causing him to roll down from the floor of the corridor.

At the same time, two warriors came up from the left and right sides.

The steel knives in their hands came out and pierced into the sides of another Jurchen soldier.

At the edge of the city, several golden crossbowmen saw this situation and quickly bent their bows and set arrows.

Just as the bowstring was about to be drawn, there was a burst of gunfire.

In an instant, each of these crossbowmen had two or three bloody holes drilled by lead bullets.

Under the city tower, a large number of golden soldiers heard the movement and came to the city gate to kill.

The soldiers of the Han army at Beiwei used swords and guns to kill and injure a large number of Jin soldiers who came out.

The popping of musketry came and went, but soon became more and more sparse, and finally disappeared altogether.

The matchlock blunderbuss in Bei Wei's hand can only be used once and cannot be reloaded during the battle.

At this time, Yao Zhen had already attacked the tower.

The corridors at the top of the city wall, the stairs, and the streets inside the closed doors were full of corpses of Jin soldiers, but the Han soldiers could only rely on the steel knives in their hands to fight hand-to-hand.

Jin soldiers came in waves, and hundreds of Han troops guarded the towers and gates.

Even if they are brave, it is difficult to withstand the long-term attack of the golden army.

Fortunately, at this time, Yue Yun led thousands of winged cavalry to attack first, rushing into the city like a whirlwind.

The streets within Guancheng are narrow and not suitable for mounted combat, and the hussars are not suitable for rampaging like heavy plate-armored cavalry wrapped in heavy armor.

They simply jumped off their horses and charged into the city in turn with lances.

After a while, the musketeers and pikemen also arrived and poured into Tongguan City one after another.

The gunshots started banging again, one after another, and the shouts of killing spread throughout the city.

The battle lasted for less than half an hour.

The screams of the wounded soldiers of the Jin army became more and more loud.

The sound of musket shooting gradually became sparse, and the shouts of killing gradually became lower.

In the end there were only sporadic gunshots.

There was no organized resistance from the Jin soldiers in Tongguan City.

More than half of the Jin soldiers were killed, and a small half were captured by the Han army.

In the Qin army's camp at the east gate of Tongguan, a man was meditating hard in front of a desk, planning a strategy to defeat the enemy.

This person is Wu Lin's eldest son Wu Ting, who is also the general manager of the Qin army's march in this northern expedition.

Wu Lin saw that Yue Fei was attacking cities and plundering territory in the Huanghuai area, so he mobilized 100,000 troops from Bashu and Hanzhong and divided them into five groups to attack Shaanxi.

Unexpectedly, the progress of the battle was far less smooth than Wu Lin imagined.

The reason here is that Wu Lin did not understand the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

His understanding of the Han army was still based on his impression of the old Yue family army.

In fact, he had been in charge of the Western Front Anti-Golden War Zone for a long time and had no understanding of the old Yue family army.

Get to know Miu Miu.

Secondly, the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army in Shaanxi is higher than that of the Jin Army in the Huanghuai Central Plains.

The proportion of Khitan Jurchens in the Shaanxi Jin Army is much higher than that of the Jin Army in the Huanghuai Central Plains.

Therefore, he saw that Yue Fei's Northern Expedition was going so smoothly, but he suffered setbacks one after another when he went on the field.

Except for Wu Ting's army, the other four armies were defeated one by one by the Jin army.

They suffered heavy losses and retreated to Xingyuan, Xingzhou and other places in Hanzhong.

Wu Ting fought hard all the way and was lucky enough to capture Jingzhao.

It was a fluke because the water level in Danshui suddenly rose, causing his troops to stay in Shangzhou for a few more days.

This stay meant that the Jin army in Jingzhao had no enemy troops to attack from the direction of Shangzhou, so they deployed troops and horses to rescue other prefectures and counties attacked by the Qing army, leaving Jingzhao's troops relatively empty.

Let Wu Ting make a profit.

However, even so, Wu Ting's troops and horses suffered considerable losses.

At this time, Wu Ting in the tent vaguely heard the sound of firecrackers outside.

He thought strangely: "It's still early for the New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival, and the outside of Tongguan City is also in the wilderness with few people.

Who would set off firecrackers at this time?"

Coming" Curious, he got up and walked out to see what was going on, but he met the soldier Qianli who was reporting the news.

"General, there is a lot of movement in Tongguan City."

"It's because the Jin soldiers showed signs of leaving the city to attack our camp."

"No, there were killing sounds in Tongguan City, and there were intermittent sounds of firecrackers being set off.

The scouts who were observing at the front thought that there were troops attacking Tongguan on the other side of Tongguan."

The soldier reported truthfully.

Wu Ting pondered for a moment and said: "Assemble the personal guards and follow me to see what is going on."

By the time Wu Ting arrived at Tongguan City, the city had become quiet, with the occasional sound of firecrackers heard.

Wu Ting immediately stood in front of the west gate of Tongguan, wondering what happened in the city.

He suddenly woke up and said: "The Han army must have attacked the east gate of Tongguan at night.

I heard that the Han army created a new type of firearm, which is extremely sharp.

It uses gunpowder to explode and push projectiles to kill the enemy.

Then there will definitely be a The sound of firecrackers.

Yes, that’s for sure.”

"First Prince, what should we do now?"

asked a general.

"What else can we do?

Let's talk about it at dawn tomorrow.

I don't know if Tongguan has changed hands now."

Wu Ting, who had been tossing and turning all night without falling asleep, got up early in the morning, lined up his army and came to the foot of Tongguan City, looking up.

What he was most worried about happened.

The king's flag was changed at the top of the city.

A young general with bright armor appeared at the top of the city.

It was Yue Yun.

He looked at Wu Ting without hesitation.

The two of them just faced each other without saying a word
