Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 172 Recapturing Tongguan

The snow is flying, and the world is white!

Even in the dark night, you can see the slight white light!

The weather is extremely cold! On the one hand, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and winter has not yet passed, on the other hand, the climate in ancient times was much colder than modern times! Staying outside at this time, the cold wind can almost blow people's ears off!

But in such a cold night, more than 50,000 forbidden troops launched an attack on Tongguan!

Numerous ladders were erected there, and soldiers of the Imperial Army were climbing up one after another!

The Jurchen army is elite, even in the middle of the night, the Jurchen army stationed in Tongguan discovered them as soon as the forbidden army appeared! Under the leadership of a Jurchen commander, more than 5,000 Jurchen soldiers came to the city wall to resist the attack from below!

The name of this Jurchen chief is Wan Yanfeng, he is over forty years old, and he is also the first group of Jurchens who followed Wanyan Aguda to fight! He has never systematically learned martial arts, but in the process of the South and North Wars, he has experienced countless fights and kills, and he has already entered the innate realm! Even, his martial arts are not far behind those Jurchen titans, the only regret is that his resourcefulness is not as good as those Jurchen titans!

Looking at the soldiers of the imperial army who were climbing up densely below, Wan Yanfeng showed a trace of disdain on his face!

"Some time ago, Chang'an City sent an envoy to say that the Han people had defeated the female general Wanyanhuo. I would never believe it! Although the female general Wanyanhuo was only eighteen years old, she was very skilled in martial arts and proficient in strategy since she was a child. Even Emperor Taizu praised him as a general of his generation! The Han people are just a cowardly and incompetent people, how could they defeat Wanyan Huo, the female general?" Wan Yanfeng thought to himself.

The so-called Emperor Taizu is Wanyan Aguda! Back then, Wanyan Huo Nu was once appreciated by Wan Yan Aguda, which earned Wan Yan Huo Nu great fame! Although Wanyanhuo is young, she is already famous among the Jurchens! Wan Yanfeng, like other Jurchens, looked down on the Han people, so he didn't believe the news that Wanyan Huo Nu was defeated at all!

Huge boulders fell from the city wall of Tongguan, and countless soldiers of the Forbidden Army were smashed to death! Countless soldiers screamed and fell down! Seeing such a scene, Wan Yanfeng laughed out loud!

Finally, a soldier from the Imperial Army climbed up, and in front of Wan Yanfeng, Wan Yanfeng sneered, and he threw out the sword in his hand, and that soldier's head was chopped off immediately!

Then a few soldiers from the Forbidden Army climbed up, but they were all easily killed by Wan Yanfeng!

"Han people, incompetent people! Although I don't know how you came to Tongguan, it's a dream if you want to take down Tongguan city!" Wan Yanfeng sneered.

However, at this moment, another ladder was set up below! I saw a black shadow stepping on the ladder, and his body quickly rushed upwards! In almost a breath, he came to half of the city wall of Tongguan!

This Tongguan is the most important pass connecting Guanzhong and the Central Plains. The city wall is extremely high. He was able to reach half of the city wall in such a short time, which shows his dexterity skills! Then I saw his footsteps move, getting closer and closer to the top!

Wan Yanfeng was taken aback at the moment, he immediately stretched out his hand and pushed towards the ladder, and suddenly saw the ladder fall to the side!

"Haha, lowly Han people, go to hell!" Wan Yanfeng laughed.

Just a moment later, his smile suddenly froze! The ladder below has fallen down, but the black shadow is still on the city wall!

I saw that the black figure was holding an iron gun in his hand. At this moment, the iron gun had been inserted into the city wall, and it was this iron gun that supported his body!

The black figure suddenly pulled out the iron gun, and his body flew up again. When he was still a quarter away from the top, the iron gun in his hand moved again, and plunged into the city wall again!

Wan Yanfeng on the top showed a horrified expression. This person was able to climb up the Tongguan city wall, which is almost the first pass in this era, with only an iron gun. This is simply unbelievable! He has never heard of such a martial art, and has never seen it before!

"Damn it!" Wan Yanfeng snorted coldly, picked up a huge boulder next to him, and threw it towards the shadow below!

He is a congenital master, this strike is extremely powerful!

Seeing that this huge boulder was about to hit Sombra's body!

Suddenly, the black shadow slapped towards the air with a palm!

A huge palm print appeared in the sky, and then there was a loud "boom", and the boulder was smashed into pieces!

Hei Ying's body flew up again, and then he saw a sharp spear moving towards Wan Yanfeng!

Wan Yanfeng suddenly reached out and took the gun with a knife, but the internal force contained in this gun was too strong, Wan Yanfeng's body involuntarily took a step back!

The black shadow came with another shot, and Wan Yanfeng took another step back!

When Sombra's third shot came, Wan Yanfeng suddenly stood there! He didn't have any scars on his body, but blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, his face gradually turned pale, and his eyes lost their expression! It turned out that after the three shots, Wan Yanfeng's internal organs had been shattered by the shock. Although there was no scar on the outside, his whole body was completely dead!

The black shadow is Yue Fei!

Yue Fei came to the city wall without stopping, the iron spear in his hand kept shooting!

In a short while, a large number of Jurchen soldiers fell on the city wall!

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army below kept climbing up!

Gradually, the number of forbidden troops is increasing, and they have shown an overwhelming advantage over the Jurchens!

The Jurchens claim to be "invincible", but this mainly refers to the strength of the Jurchens cavalry! They got off their horses and participated in the defense of the city. Although they were still tyrannical, they definitely could not reach the level of "invincible"!

At this moment, the Jurchens kept falling down, and there were screams everywhere!

After an hour, the city wall gradually quieted down! The Forbidden Army finally occupied Tongguan!

Yue Fei stood on the city wall of Tongguan, excited and emotional!

He still remembers the scene of following Zhao Chen to come here two years ago. At that time, Zhao Chen was still a child, and this place was still a bargain, and they were still under house arrest! At that time, no one knew what the future would hold! Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Keqiu is dead. Zhao Chen truly controls the power of the country, while he, Yue Fei, becomes the commander of the imperial army and leads the army to recapture this place!

Once Tongguan is taken back, it will be extremely difficult for the Jurchens to send a large army into Guanzhong!

"Leave 10,000 people to garrison Tongguan, and the rest will follow me to Chang'an, and take Chang'an in one fell swoop!" Yue Fei took a deep breath and said suddenly!

The reason why they attacked Tongguan first was to cut off the connection between Guanshan and the Central Plains, so that the golden soldiers from the Central Plains could not enter Guanshan through Tongguan! Now their goal has been achieved, Chang'an City has become an isolated city, they can slowly tidy up Chang'an City!

*** ***

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month has arrived, and in the early morning of this day, the rumble of war drums suddenly came from the Chang'an city!

Hearing the sound of the war drums, the Jurchen and Khitan people in Chang'an City were taken aback. They immediately transferred their soldiers to the city wall to prevent the Song army from attacking!

It's just that the drums sounded for a long time, but the Song army still didn't launch an attack!

In Wanyan Haili, Yeluyu is standing on the city wall at this moment!

Wanyan Haili asked, "What are the Han people doing?"

Seeing Yeluyu sneer, he said: "The Han people are bluffing! General, don't be afraid!"

Wanyan Haili nodded, and said in a mocking tone: "The Han people are so incompetent! If we were Jurchens, we would have ten times as many soldiers and horses as the enemy, and we would have launched an attack long ago, so why would there be ink stains on the bottom!"

Seeing a flattering smile on Yeluyu's face, Yeluyu said, "The Jurchens are invincible in the world, and of course they cannot be compared by the Han people!"

Wanyan Haili laughed loudly and said, "General Yelu, I'll leave this place to you! I'll go to sleep again!"

Now Wanyan Haili bid farewell and left, not to mention that!

Yeluyu stood on the city wall for a while, seeing that the Song army really had no intention of attacking the city, he also yawned immediately, left the city wall and came to rest in a nearby dwelling, not to mention that!

At noon, the drums sounded again! Accompanied by the sound of the drums, there were countless Song soldiers. At this time, the Song soldiers had already prepared the ladders, and there were also countless weapons such as trebuchets and siege vehicles being erected!

Wanyan Haili and Yelu Yujian were called over again, and they were both taken aback when they saw Song Jun's posture below!

Seeing that the Song army was getting closer and closer to the city wall, the two immediately ordered the Jurchen and Khitan soldiers to get ready!

However, they waited for an hour, and the Song army still did not launch an attack!

"What are the Han people doing?" Wanyan Haili asked angrily.

"It must have been urged by the emperor of the Han people. The Han generals had no choice but to attack! It's just that the Han people are always timid, so they just pretended to show their emperor!" Yeluyu said.

"Damn Han people! Forget it, ignore them!" Wanyan Haili said.

Such an afternoon passed! Although the Song army did not launch an attack, the Song army gathered below in large numbers, and the Jurchen and Khitan people above did not dare to relax!

It was already getting dark, and at this moment the shouts of killing sounded, and the Song army finally launched an attack!

It's just that the scale of the attack was extremely limited this time, and the Song army retreated after leaving hundreds of corpses behind!

Wanyan Haili and Yelu Yujian heard that the Song army was attacking the city, and they had already arrived at the first time! As a result, when they arrived, Song Jun had already left!

"These Han people are really ridiculous!" Wanyan Haili said, dumbfounded.

"After all, the Han people are just trying to deceive their emperor! They are Han people, born weak, so we don't have to worry!" Yeluyu said.

"That's right! General Yelu, it's getting dark, let's go back and have a drink!" Wanyan Haili said.

"Okay!" Yeluyu said happily!

The Jurchen and Khitan soldiers on the city wall were "harassed" for a whole day, and they were exhausted while being disdainful! Coupled with the unusually cold weather, there are gradually fewer and fewer Jurchen and Khitan soldiers on the city wall, and most of them hid in the surrounding rooms, lying down and sleeping!

Time passed slowly, and it was already midnight. At this time, an army appeared from the east of Chang'an City! This army has mixed into the Song army! None of the Jurchen and Khitan soldiers in the distance saw what was going on here!

Another hour passed, and in silence, the Song Army began to move!

This time, a total of 100,000 people raised the ladder and headed towards Chang'an City from all directions!
