It took three days for Li Qing, the king of Yan, to command the main force of the Xia Army's naval division, to wipe out all the Song Army's naval division warships trapped in the mine array, except for some of the warships that surrendered, most of the warships were destroyed or sunk by mines, but there were still more than ten warships that escaped from the Xia army's pursuit, and Li Bao, the commander of the Song Army's naval division, was on the dozen or so warships that fled, and the victory in the battle of Lingshan Island was just a good beginning for the Xia Army's naval division.
After eliminating the Song army's northward naval division, Li Qing led the naval division warship to the north to the Song army's naval division camp, and after coming, he began to launch a fierce offensive against more than 100,000 Song troops stationed in the land camp, the Xia army's offensive was all long-range attack, using artillery and return artillery, firing fierce fire oil such as flowering shells and large barrels, and under the fierce fire attack of the Xia army, the entire Song army's camp was ablaze with fire.
Of course, the soldiers of the Song army would not sit still, so they began to rush to transport some baggage to prepare to go north, as long as the Song army was far away from the coastline, the Xia army sailors could not help them, but they forgot that outside their camp, there was a 30,000 elite cavalry led by Zhao Ge, and they were already hungry and thirsty.
"Report, report, report" A spy ran in and reported: "General, the sentry cavalry probe reported that the Song army's foot soldiers began to abandon the camp and flee north under the blow of Wang Ye's water division, should we pursue the Song army." ” "Of course you have to chase it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Zhao Ge said excitedly: "Order all the troops to attack and kill the Song army immediately, and take advantage of this last time to beat him out of the last bit of energy of the Song army, and let them surrender to us obediently." ” Under the command of Zhao Ge, the elite cavalry of the Xia army rushed into the Song army like a tiger, although the Song army was five times the number of the Xia army, but at this time the Song army's establishment was all chaotic, in addition to low morale, different commands, the well-trained Song army soldiers completely became a group of rabble, it only took an hour of effort, the Song army soldiers except for the killed all surrendered to the Xia army, after the battle, the Xia army completely lifted the threat behind their backs, and they could rest assured that they would fight southward in the future.
Jianmen Pass, An Guogong Li Yue led 100,000 soldiers of the Yizhou Army to attack Jianmen Pass; Jianmen Pass is a necessary place to enter Sichuan from Hanzhong, its strategic location is very important, it is also the place where the Xia army and the Song army have been inspiring to rob, over the years the Xia army has carried out many attacks on Jianmen Pass, but in the end they all ended in failure, the main reason is because the defense of Jianmen Pass is too strong.
Jianmen Pass is located between two mountains, there is only this road in the middle, if you want to enter the river, you must enter from here, and the mountains on both sides are very steep, in addition to Jianmen Pass is made of bluestone, the Song army also prepared catapults and other city defense equipment on the city wall, and the thunder stone rolling wood is even more innumerable Inside the camp of the Xia army outside the Sword Gate.
There are two people beside Li Yue, who are the general Xili Qianbu and Li Yue's henchman Xu Da, Li Yue asked Xu Da: "Have you found out the situation of Xu Da's Sword Gate?"
"Handsome, it's all clear; The Song army deployed 50,000 troops in the city, and there were countless fierce fire oils and NVC rolling wood.
Xu Da said to Li Yue.
Li Yue nodded and said: "I have long expected that the Sichuan and Shu army commanded by Wu Jie is backed by the country of abundance, with abundant products and a large population, and this is also an important production place for the Song army's fierce fire oil.
Who will be the Sword Gate Gate?"
"Wu Jie's younger brother Wu Lan."
Xu Da said to Li Yue; "This Wu Lan is not simple, this person is not much worse than his brother, the first few attacks of our army were broken by this Wu Lan."
Li Yue came to the map with his hands behind his back and looked at it and said: "Order, tomorrow the army will attack Jianmen Pass, this time the commander will personally supervise the battle, dare to retreat privately, and kill without mercy." ” "Yes, follow the orders of the commander" In the early morning of the next day, under the command of Li Yue, 100,000 elite soldiers of the Xia army came to the Jianmen Pass, Li Yue observed the city defense of the Song army through a telescope, but on the surface, the deployment of the Song army was not very good, and even a few catapults could not be seen, but only Li Yue was clear, but Li Yue knew very well that this was not the real defensive force of the Song army, in order to prevent heavy losses in the shelling, the Song army put away its own weapons to defend the city.
"Order, artillery, return artillery, bed crossbow attack," Li Yue ordered as he looked at the city pass in front of him.
After Li Yue's military order was issued, the Song army launched a fierce attack on Jianmen Pass, the Song soldiers who defended the city were all hiding in the hidden soldier cave, for the Xia army's attack method, the Song soldiers had already figured it out, first attacked with fierce artillery fire, used artillery fire to cover the advance of siege equipment such as building vehicles, and when the siege equipment was about to arrive at the city, stop the long-distance attack, and then began to fight in the city, it is precisely because of this law that most of the soldiers and horses of the Song army will hide, leaving only a few people to guard.
After the fierce artillery preparations, the Xia army began to advance layer by layer, and the Song army also began to fight in the city, but this time the accident appeared, the Xia soldiers who were originally preparing to attack suddenly all lay on the ground, and then the overwhelming artillery flew over again, and the Song soldiers who had just landed in the city did not have time to prepare, and many of them were buried under the artillery fire of the Xia army, and this time the losses of the Song army were extremely heavy.
Wu Lan, who was commanding in the rear, heard the news and scolded: "Li Yue, you bastard, you dare to play yin with Lao Tzu." ” "Deputy marshal, our army defending the city has suffered heavy losses, please send troops to support as soon as possible."
A Song general said to Wu Lan.
"You go back, Ben Shuai personally leads the troops to support you."
Wu Xuan said to Song Jiang.
It didn't take long for Wu Lan to personally lead a group of men and horses to the city pass, at this time the Xia army was launching a fierce attack, part of the city wall had fallen into the hands of the Xia army, but after Wu Lan led the arrival of reinforcements, the Xia army's offensive was immediately contained, and the two armies fell into a melee on the city wall.
"Quick, throw our earth-shattering thunder and fierce fire oil to General Ben."
Wu Xuan shouted hoarsely.
After hearing Wu Lan's military order, the Song army threw down all the earth-shattering thunder and fierce fire oil, and the Xia army under the city was unlucky, and the Xia army suffered very heavy losses, but Li Yue did not order the troops to be withdrawn; The Xili Qianbu next to Li Yue said to Li Yue: "Marshal, the defense of the Song army is too strong, and our army has suffered heavy losses, so let's withdraw our troops for the time being."
"It's a pity to collect troops at this time, didn't you see that our people have already climbed the city wall," Li Yue said to the Xili Qianbu.
Then Li Yue ordered: "Xu Da obeys the order, and this commander orders you to lead 10,000 elites to support." ” "Yes, the last general commanded," Xu Da immediately ordered.
"Order, artillery, return artillery preparation," Li Yue ordered again.
"Dashuai, there are still our people in the city," said Li Yue, who reminded him.
"Ben Shuai knows, but there is always sacrifice to fight."
Li Yue ordered with a firm face: "Attack" While the two armies were fighting, the artillery fire of the Xia army launched a fierce attack again:
