Chapter 386 Wanyan, let's fight!
When Yue Fei began to arrange a battle to attack Yu Pass, Wanyan Zonggan, the deputy marshal of Jin left in the Jin soldiers camp opposite Yuhe, was so anxious that he was almost the same as an ant on a hot pan. In his command of his command, he circled around the wooden picture, as if he wanted to find the key to turn the world from the seemingly terrible enemy-to-me situation shown on the wooden picture!
From the map, the Jin army on the front line of Yu Pass has now been divided into four large corpses with a distance between each other, namely: the Wanyan Zonggan headquarters located west of Yu River, with a total force of more than 70,000; the Wanyan Xiebao army surrounding the Yanghe Jiahe Fort, with a total force of more than 50,000; the Wanyan Zongbi Group located on the west bank of Yang River, with a total force of about 80,000; the Wanyan Qi headquarters located in Yu Pass, with a total force of more than 20,000.
In addition, there are still a large number of troops in Laohu Mountain, Shijing Mountain, Yanghe Village and Shanhaikou behind.
Among them, there are not many troops in Tiger Mountain and Shijing Mountain, and one is only two thousand more. Yanghe Village guards Wanyan Zongbi's retreat route and guards Wanyan Xiebao's rear, with about 8,000 troops garrisoned. There are also many civilians who followed Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiebao before, staying there with vehicles and supplies.
The Song army seemed to have dispatched two large armies, one from the direction of Changli County, and is currently confronting Wanyan Zongbi on the west bank of Yanghe River. The other one attacked from the Tuershan Camp on the north road of Jieshishan, and rushed straight to Yuguan and Yuhe River.
According to the news sent back by Yuguan, the chief general of the Song army who came from Tu'er Mountain was the famous Yue Feiyue invincible, with a number of as many as 100,000!
Yue Fei's performance was still as fierce as ever. He defeated the blocking troops sent by Wanyan Qi as soon as he came up, surrounded Tiger Mountain and Shijing Mountain. It is still spreading on the west, north and south sides of Yu Pass, and a single army has penetrated between Yu Pass and Yu River... It is almost like surrounding the four sides and attacking on three sides.
Once Yu Pass falls, the wings of Wanyan Xiebao and Wanyan Zongbi will be completely exposed... Among them, Wanyan Zongbi's troops are in a more dangerous situation!
Once Yue Fei led his army south to surround Yanghe Village after occupying Yu Pass, Wanyan Zongbi's retreat will be cut off!
Once the 80,000 army led by Wanyan Zongbi was annihilated by Zhao Kai and Yue Fei... Wanyan Zonggan was frightened by this idea and was sweating coldly. Just when he was about to find a piece of cloth to wipe it, a rumbling "thunder" came from outside!
Wanyan Zonggan rushed out of his tent and looked up at the sky, then disappointed to find that the sky was cloudless and blue.
Without clouds, of course it is impossible to thunder... It is not thunder, it must be a cannon!
It must be Yue Fei's army that began shelling Yuguan!
At this time, Wanyan Zongfu, who was guarding the camp with Wanyan Zonggan, had already come together.
Both Wanyan frowned and seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem.
Wanyan Zonggan was about to ask them to discuss countermeasures, so he invited them to enter the tent together.
"Brother, I can't lose Yuguan!" Wanyan Zongfu, who had lost Xijing Road in a daze, jumped to the main road as soon as he entered the tent. "Now Wushu's 80,000 army is confronting Zhao Kai's 100,000 army... he can't move at all. Even if he wants to retreat, he has to wait until dark. It is very troublesome to gather the 80,000 army in the dark, and he has to fight and retreat, and he has to cross the river from the floating bridge of Yanghe Village. He can't move at all!"
In fact, Zhao Kai only has 70,000 troops, and there are 10,000 of them Xiao Heda's Khitan cavalry, so he is not very capable of fighting tough battles. However, on the battlefield, the side in an unfavorable situation often overestimates the strength of the opponent and scares himself.
Wanyan Zongbi was scared now and dared not move around...
Wanyan Zonggan looked at the situation on the wooden picture, listened to the sound of cannons that seemed tight, and was anxious and panicked!
But he still shook his head and said, "There are only 70,000 soldiers in the Yuhe camp, and they are not elite, there are no big or small tubes, and there are not many cannons or hot pots. How can they be Yue Fei's opponent?"
Now a group of Wanyan has fought their lives to gather more than 200,000 troops on the battlefield of Yuguan-Shanhaikou, and of course it is impossible that they are all elite.
Although the population of the Great Jin tribe is large, it can pull out a large army of 300,000, but the elite troops of which will not exceed 100,000. And the 100,000 elite troops are not all at the front of Yuguan - Shanhaikou. Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zonghan are still holding at least 30,000 elite troops in their hands! Before sending Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xibao to send troops, Wanyan Zonggan also let his sect Meng'an (his personal management Meng'an) protect Wanyan Liang and his family to Guangning Prefecture. Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongfu, and Wanyan Zongjun, the kings of the Wanyan family also kept a backup plan.
So now the Jin Dynasty's elite troops on the battlefield in Yuguan - Shanhaikou are only 50,000, and Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xibao have taken them away...
"We have to let Xibao come back!" Wanyan Zonggu shouted, "The 50,000 troops of Xibao are only twenty miles away from Yuguan. They should have been collected now and can be activated at any time. If Xibao is ordered to return to Yuguan, then before dark, his 50,000 people will be able to enter the Yuguan battlefield."
Wanyan Zonggan looked at the wooden picture tightly, "If Xibao retreats, Zhao Kai's cavalry can cross the river from the Jiahebao floating bridge..."
"That's going to take a dozen miles!" said Wanyan Zongfu, "And the most important thing now is to rescue Yu Pass!
If Yu Pass is not guarded, Yue Fei's 100,000 troops will press south, and Xibao can still cross the Yu River eastward. Wu Shu is afraid that... If Wu Shu's 80,000 troops are gone, is this world ours?"
He has something to say!
Except for the Han army that was used as cannon fodder, the rest of the army under Xibao were given by his father Zong Han!
The 80,000 troops under Wanyan Zongbi were collected by Wanyan from Aguda!
If Wanyan Zongbi was destroyed by Zhao Kai and Yue Fei, then Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiebao and his son would become the strongest faction in the Great Jin Kingdom!
Wanyan Zonggan was shocked by his brother's words and his back felt cold... It was not easy for Zhao Kai to kill his Zonggan, so he had to fight out step by step from the Liaoxi Corridor!
Now the Song Dynasty is still in trouble with the Three Kingdoms, how could it be that it could expedition to Liaodong?
But it would be too easy for Wanyan to kill him, Wanyan Zong...
"Hurry, send the order to the Empty Guard!" Wanyan Zonggan shouted, "I ordered him to rush to Yuguan immediately and not delay for a moment!"
Then he said to his brother Zongfu: "Eliduo, give all the troops from Yuhe camp to you, and take them to rescue Yuguan immediately... In any case, you must persist until Xibao arrives!"
......
When Wanyan Zonggan was dispatching troops to fight to the death with Yue Fei, more than a hundred cannons owned by the artillery generals under Yue Fei's command were bombarding Yuguan City!
The more than 100 cannons are divided into three models, a 5-jin long cannon, a 10-jin long cannon and a 25-jin pot cannon.
There are 72 long cannons, which are responsible for demolishing the city walls. They are placed three or four hundred steps away from the Yuguan city wall, and concentrate firepower to bombard the walls. Although the walls of Yuguan have been reinforced, they are still old-fashioned vertical rammed earth city walls, which cannot withstand the attack of the shells at all, and there is a big hole in the shooting!
The Song army's pot cannons were dispatched in total, and they were deployed less than 200 steps away from the Yuguan City Wall, and then they kept firing hot arson bombs into Yuguan City!
This thing is amazing. It weighs 25 pounds and the red iron ball falls from the sky. It can not only "crush" people, but also set fire... wood, forage, grain, and flags, as long as it can be ignited, it can't help but roll the hot iron ball!
Just get out of here!
So before the walls of Yuguan collapsed, the city of Yuguan had been chaotic by arson bombs. Fires were everywhere, screams and hissings were endless.
Wanyan Qi was forced to calm down at the beginning, and led his personal soldiers to patrol everywhere in Yuguan City to calm the morale of the army.
But after walking around for a few times, he himself was a little mentally broken!
The Song army outside the city could "throw out" 32 hot iron balls at one time... and they were the iron balls that didn't have eyes and randomly smashed people!
How many can you throw 32, ten rounds, twenty rounds, and thirty rounds of shooting at a time?
Thousands!
It's still a hot arson bullet... it rolls everywhere, flys everywhere, ignites everywhere, and kills people at random!
And the person who was killed by such an iron ball was ugly!
They were all dead to death, some even cut the shells into flesh and blood, and some were partially smashed into meat paste... If the iron ball did not roll away from the "meat paste", they would continue to "cook" human flesh paste with residual heat, and make a "sizzling" sound, and the air was filled with a burnt smell, which was disgusting. What's even more terrifying is that some people have tenacious vitality, and they have not yet died of breath at this point, and they can still make heart-wrenching screams!
Wanyan Qi inspected several times, and was really scared, disgusted and angry... The Southern Army is so cruel. If you kill people like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?
When the bombardment of the pot was about thirty rounds, his generals and soldiers could not stand it anymore. When he saw him coming, he gathered at him regardless of the arson bombs that might fall at any time, and shouted for war!
"Let's attack! Fight with the Southern People..."
"Even if you die in battle, it will be better than being so cowardly now!"
"Yes! I can always kill a few southerners if I try my best. Now I will die in vain if I die like this!"
At this time, Wanyan Qi's head was a little dizzy. He had forgotten the meaning of nailing himself to Yuguan City... As long as more than 10,000 people under his command were still huddled in the city, the Song army would not be able to break the city soon!
Although the hot iron balls falling from the sky can kill hundreds or thousands of people and burn a lot of houses and supplies, they will never kill tens of thousands of people.
However, there were several veterans around Wanyan Qi who followed Zong Wang to fight against him, and they were still rational and stopped him from attacking.
But at this moment, cheers suddenly came from the east gate of Yuguan City: "Reinforcements have arrived! The Deputy Marshal has crossed the river!"
Wanyan Qi could no longer hold it back and said loudly to the left and right: "The reinforcements have arrived, and it is also time for us to attack... Order 10,000 troops and follow me to fight out!"
