Besides, Xu Da led the 3,000 firecrackers to cross the mountains and mountains through a sheep intestine trail, and it took two full days to finally cross Daba Mountain, this sheep intestine trail was undoubtedly discovered by the Xia army, the road was rugged and very difficult to walk, and the Xia army paid dozens of lives in order to pass through the Daba Mountain.
"General, what should we do next?"
a lieutenant asked Xu Da.
"Tonight, we will blow up the south gate of Jianmen Pass, Dashuai has been waiting there for a long time, as long as our side acts, Dashuai will immediately launch a fierce attack on Jianmen Pass, and the north and south will attack Jianmen Pass in one fell swoop."
Xu Da said to the captain.
Under the leadership of Xu Da, three thousand Xia soldiers came down from the mountain and quietly touched the south of Jianmen Pass, the Song army put the main defensive forces in the north gate of Jianmen Pass, there were basically not many people at the south gate of Jianmen Pass, and the garrison and its carrying, which just gave Xu Da an opportunity, six Xia soldiers each carried a fifty pound of explosives bag, and quietly came to the gate of Jianmen Pass, so many explosives were enough to blow up the entire city gate; The reason why so many explosives were used was to let Li Yue on the opposite side hear the explosion.
"Boom" after the medicine twist was lit, the soldiers of the Xia army immediately ran to both sides, and after a short time, they only heard a loud "boom", and the south gate of the entire Jianmen Pass was blown away, and after the city gate was blown open, three thousand bird soldiers rushed into the city.
In the camp of the Song army in Jianmen Pass, Wu Lan was sleeping and was suddenly awakened by this loud noise, and after Wu Lan woke up, he asked the guards around him: "What's going on, go out and see" It didn't take long for an adjutant general to say to Wu Lan: "Deputy marshal, deputy marshal, it's not good, the Xia army has entered the city." ” "Impossible, the Sword Gate Pass is impregnable, how can the Xia army attack it."
Wu Lan said in disbelief.
"It's really the deputy marshal, the Xia army came in from the south gate."
The adjutant general said to Wu Lan.
"South Gate."
Wu Ling frowned and immediately ordered: "The Xia army attacked from the south gate, it must have come from Daba Mountain, the troops will not be too much, quickly organize troops to drive the Xia army out, there are still tens of thousands of troops here in Benshuai, I don't believe that I can't guard a sword gate." ” "Vice Marshal, do you want to ask the Marshal for help?"
the Adjutant General asked Wu Luan.
"Yes, immediately send someone out of the city, ask the eldest brother for help, and ask him to send soldiers and horses to the rescue as soon as possible."
Wu said again.
"Yes, the last general commands" After Wu Lan's military order was issued, the Song army immediately organized troops to go to Nancheng to engage the Xia army; The Xia army's advance speed under the leadership of Xu Da can be described as the speed of the soldiers, and the three thousand bird soldiers rushed straight to the north gate and did not attack all around, and the Song army in front of the Xia army had only one end, that is, death.
Under the blow of the "pop, pop, pop" bird, the casualties of the Song army were very heavy, on the other side the Xia army also began to attack from the north gate, this time the Xia army used the dead, these people rushed to the city wall with explosives bags and detonated directly, the crazy actions of the Xia army made the Song army feel frightened, when it was almost dawn, the Song army finally couldn't hold on, and began to scatter and flee, at the same time Xu Da led the Xia army to the north of the city, after opening the city gate, tens of thousands of Xia troops poured into the city, The entire Sword Gate Pass was finally breached after the Xia army paid a heavy price.
As soon as the Jianmen Pass was broken, it meant that the Song army lost an important barrier guarding Sichuan and Shu, but Wu Jie had already prepared for this, Wu Jie knew that the Jianmen Pass could not always block the attack of the Xia army, and the Jianmen Pass was just a bait thrown by Wu Jie to Li Yue, the purpose of which was to consume the Xia army's vital strength and combat power, after taking the Jianmen Pass, the Xia army was already at the end of the crossbow, and the Song army burned most of the baggage and grain and grass when it evacuated the Jianmen Pass, and the materials captured by the Xia army were limited.
Jianmen Pass, the original camp of the Song army, has become the camp of the Xia army at this time.
At this time, there was no celebration banquet in the camp, and Li Yue and Xili Qianbu were entertaining the envoys sent by the crown prince Li Wu; The envoy said to Li Yue and Xili Qianbu: "Grandpa Guo, old general; On the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the old general was specially ordered to return to Hanzhong to lead a section of the Yizhou Army to garrison Jinzhou to prevent the Song army from entering Hanzhong. ” The Cyri Qianbu immediately received the order and said: "The old minister dares to ask how the war in Nanyang is now."
"Now that the Song army has captured Dengzhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is leading a large army to fight with it."
The messenger said to the Cyrimon.
After the envoy left, the Cyri Qianbu said to Li Yue: "Great Marshal, this time the general will return to Hanzhong without too many soldiers and horses, only 10,000 elite soldiers, but the old minister needs 3,000 birds and five artillery. ” Li Yue wished that the Xili Qianbu would leave earlier, but when he heard the big conditions of the Xili Qianbu, although Li Yue was a little distressed, he still said to the Xili Qianbu: "Okay, your request for this marshal camp." ” In the early morning of the next day, the Xili Qianbu took his son Xiliming and 10,000 elites to leave Jianmen Pass and return to Hanzhong, after the Xili Qianbu left, Li Yue's men only had 50,000 troops, and there were 7,000 birds and five artillery pieces in the 50,000 army, and the rest were mixed with infantry and cavalry; Among them were 30,000 cavalry, and the rest were foot soldiers.
After the Xili Qianbu led the army to leave, Li Yue reorganized the 50,000 army in his hands, and replaced all the officers with his henchmen, at the same time, Wu Ling led the remnants of the army to flee back to Mianzhou, and Wu Jie led the main force of the Sichuan and Shu army to be stationed in Mianzhou.
After Wu Jie saw Wu Luan, he asked, "This time it was done well, and it didn't leave any flaws for Xia Jun."
"Big brother, don't worry, Li Yue will never see any flaws, he would never have imagined that we would use the Sword Gate Pass as bait."
Wu Lan said with a strange smile.
"Whether you can recover Hanzhong or not, success or failure is in one fell swoop."
Wu Jie said to Wu Lan: "Has Xia Jun made any recent moves?"
"There is a great contradiction between the Xili Qianbu and Li Yue, and now Li Yue has led an army of 10,000 to return to Hanzhong."
Wu Xuan said to Wu Jie: "Brother, you said that this will not affect our follow-up plans. ” "Xili Qianbu is a veteran of the Xia Army, with rich combat experience, with him and another 10,000 Xia Army elites, I'm afraid it will be really difficult at that time."
Wu Jie said very cautiously: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Xili Qianbu. ” "Yes, big brother."
Wu replied.
"By the way, now that the ministries have been prepared, don't be idle, the task of going north will be handed over to you."
Wu Jie ordered directly to Wu Lan.
"Yes, the last general commands" On the other side, in the camp of the Xia army, Xu Da said to Li Yue: "Dashuai, we only have these 50,000 troops now, and the few Sichuan and Shu troops also have 300,000 or 400,000, and the difference in strength is a little huge, have you figured out how to fight this battle?"
Li Yue walked to the map and said: "This battle must be decided in one battle, we must destroy the main force of the Sichuan and Shu army as quickly as possible, and in addition, we must try to incorporate the Song army; There is only one way to do this, to die and live. ” "Put it to death and live later," Xu Da frowned puzzled.
The second update is coming:
