Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 330 The Vast Grassland

Wanyan Loushi led an army of 50,000 to Ningwu Pass, the army did not rest, and immediately launched an attack on Ningwu Pass!

Fifty thousand Jurchens stepped on the ladder and headed towards the top. They didn't have many siege weapons, only bows and arrows!

Their bows and arrows shot upwards, but Song Jun's bows and arrows continued to shoot down from above.

One shoots arrows from bottom to top, the other from top to bottom, the result can be imagined! What's more, the Song army is above Ningwu Pass, with the city wall as a cover, many bows and arrows can't shoot them at all!

This is the difference between siege and defense! Compared with the Jurchens below, Song Jun has a great advantage.

The sun had already risen high, and the sound of shouting and killing spread for more than ten miles.

The Jurchens frantically moved forward, trying to rush to Ningwu Pass, but Ningwu Pass had already been prepared, and their charge did not have much effect at all. Only a few people were able to rush up, but they were quickly driven down again.

An hour and a half later, the Jurchens were exhausted, and their offensive gradually weakened.

At this moment, Wanyan Loushi carried a spear and rushed up on the ladder.

"General Wanyan! It's General Wanyan!"

Seeing Wanyan Loushi approaching, those Jurchens gave a cheer, and at this moment also struggled to go upwards.

Song Jun above Ningwuguan immediately felt the change of the Jurchens!

Standing on the city wall, Wang Fang looked at Wanyan Loushi's figure with a sneer on his face.

"This Ningwu Pass is one of the three outer passes of the Central Plains. How can it be so easy to attack the Central Plains portal! In the past, when foreigners invaded, they always attacked them by surprise and launched a sudden attack. This is the only way to break through the Ningwu Pass! Today we Well prepared, tens of thousands of soldiers are here, do you want to take down Ningwu Pass with only 50,000 people? It's ridiculous!" Wang Fang said coldly.

Seeing that the Jurchens were getting closer and closer to the city wall, Wang Fang suddenly gave an order!

I saw countless boulders smashing down, and countless hot oil pouring down!

Suddenly, there was a scream from the Jurchens!

From morning to now, Wang Fang has not used these defensive weapons! They have been attacking with bows and arrows. Occasionally, Jurchens rushed up and were quickly shot down by them.

But now, these weapons suddenly appeared, and the Jurchens could no longer resist them!

"In the past two months, I don't know how many weapons for defending the city have been sent here! Let alone an army of 50,000, even if an army of 100,000 or 200,000 arrives, we can resist it! After Datong got the news , will also send more troops here! Moreover, I just got the news that General Li Xianzhong is about to lead 150,000 Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army to Datong! Everywhere, it is impossible to break through Datong!" Looking at the Jurchens below, Wang Fang had a disdainful smile on his face.

A boulder fell from the sky, Wanyan Loushi roared and picked the boulder aside, but the number of boulders and arrows falling from it was increasing, and the Jurchens beside Wanyan Loushi had already fallen down screaming, Wanyan Lou The room yelled angrily, and finally had to come down from the ladder!

"Send the order to withdraw the troops, and we will attack again at night!" Wanyan Loushi looked at Ningwu Pass in front of him and gritted his teeth.

The battlefield finally quieted down, but the defenders above Ningwu Pass did not dare to relax their vigilance at this moment!

The sky gradually darkened, but the Jurchens remained silent, and it seemed that there would be no war this night!

However, until the time of Zishi, the Jurchens launched another fierce attack on Ningwuguan without any warning. Wanyan Loushi tried to lead a group of elite Jurchens to rush to the city wall and take Ningwuguan in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Ningwuguan still has sufficient preparations!

From Zishi to dawn, Ningwuguan was still safe and sound.

"General, you guys are very tired! This Ningwu Pass looks like Yanmen Pass, so a strong attack like this will definitely not work! Let's attack again when the siege weapons from Yanmen Pass arrive!" The commander came to Wanyan Loushi's side and said.

Wanyan Loushi had led his soldiers to the Ningwu Pass several times before, but each time he was driven down within a short time!

At this moment, his whole body was soaked in blood, Wanyan Loushi looked at the commander angrily, and said, "It's only been one night, are you actually tired?"

The Commander-in-Chief said awkwardly, "General, you guys don't want to fight anymore!"

Wanyan Loushi said: "Aren't you the invincible Jurchens? We are the most powerful race in the world. When I fought with Emperor Taizu, it was very common for me to stay for days and nights without rest. Things! No one complained at that time! Why do you have to rest now, just for one night?"

The commander said: "General, it is different now... We have already occupied so much territory and enjoy it every day. We shouldn't do such hard work."

Wanyan Loushi was furious, but he looked towards Ningwu Pass, and saw that although many Jurchen soldiers were shouting, few of them dared to attack Ningwu Pass! Some Jurchen soldiers are actually slacking off and hiding aside!

"Why is this happening? In just ten years, has the Jurchen army turned into this look? When we attacked Shangjing in the Liao Kingdom that day, we had just come out of the mountains for a few years, and we were not decent weapons! We rushed up like that, and went to the capital, a famous city in the world, the capital of the people of the Liao Kingdom, but they only lasted a day in front of our soldiers! Now, why is it that we all Can't you beat it?" Wanyan Loushi suddenly clenched his fists and screamed loudly!

He couldn't figure out the reason for this.

But he didn't know that it wasn't long before the Jurchens came out of the deep mountains and old forests that day, and they could only fight constantly! If they don't fight, they won't be able to survive in this world at all! They must defeat the Liao Kingdom, otherwise the Liao Kingdom will destroy them! Difficulties and hardships, Yuru Yucheng, the Jurchens were oppressed by the Liao Kingdom for more than a hundred years, each was full of hatred, each worked hard, and was willing to sacrifice himself for this nation! The fighting power at that time was naturally far better than it is now.

Moreover, Wanyan Aguda, the peerless hero of the Jurchens back then, is still alive, and he uses soldiers like a god. Since Wanyan Aguda died, no one can catch up with Wanyan Aguda.

There is another important reason. At that time, after more than 200 years in the Liao Kingdom, the country’s politics was corrupt. This nation was like the Han people at the end of the dynasty. The generals had no fighting spirit and the soldiers had no courage. That country was already vulnerable! But after the great Song Dynasty has experienced hardships, this nation has been reborn from the ruins! The bravery and fighting will of the Song army are not inferior to the Jurchens. The civilization of the Han people has been passed down for thousands of years, and the methods of using soldiers, defending the city, and attacking the city are far superior to the Jurchens! The so-called thick accumulation means that the population, economy, civilization, etc. of the Han people are all better than the Jurchens, and their military strength is not inferior to them now. It is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

"I hope that the 300,000 troops from the north will come soon! After they arrive, we will definitely be able to take Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop. At that time, we will go south to join forces with Emperor Jianyan to destroy Emperor Xuanwu together! After the death of Emperor Xuanwu, we will attack the south of the Yangtze River again to rule the world, and from then on we will enslave the Han people for one thousand and ten thousand years, and let them be our slaves." Wanyan Loushi gradually calmed down, and he ordered the withdrawal of troops, not to mention this.

*** ***

Thousands of miles away to the north, on the vast grassland!

Now the grassland has come to the season when the grass grows and the warblers fly!

Countless cavalry are galloping on the grassland!

Almost all cavalry are one man and two horses, and there are tens of thousands of them.

They were all dressed as Song people, and there were two generals at the position of the central army. They were stopping there at the moment, watching the army pass by them.

The morning sun shone on their bodies, and they all had a warm feeling.

At this moment, several cavalry came straight towards them in the distance.

The eyes of the two people immediately turned to these cavalrymen, and after a while, these cavalrymen came to them.

"Marshal, it's an official document from the General Staff Headquarters." A cavalryman handed two letters to one of the generals.

The general immediately opened the letter and examined it carefully.

"Your Majesty has personally led an army of 100,000 sailors down the Yangtze River! When passing through Jiangling, they encountered Jiangling navy! The Jiangling navy was vulnerable and was easily wiped out by our 100,000 navy! Now it's almost two It's been a month, and His Majesty must have captured Lin'an! King Kang's traitor has probably been killed by His Majesty!" The general said with an excited smile on his face.

"Really?" The general next to him also showed an extremely excited expression, and said.

"It should be true! Your Majesty will destroy Jiangnan in one battle. From now on, our Great Song Dynasty will really be unified!" said the former general.

Although it had long been guessed that Jiangnan was vulnerable, everyone was still very excited when they received this battle report, including the soldiers next to them! Of course, when the news came that Zhao Chen had actually killed Zhao Gou, there would naturally be another commotion in the army.

This general is none other than the Huanqing Army controlling Liu Kai! Next to him is another deputy commander of the Huanqing Army, who is also Liu Kai's right-hand man Zhang Zongyan!

Zhang Zongyan is the son of a family of soldiers and generals in the Western Army. His father Zhang Ji is a veteran of Jingyuan Road. He was also the first person to serve the king with Liu Kai, and later stayed in Liu Kai's army. In history, when the Jurchens invaded, China was facing the scourge of national subjugation and extinction. At such a moment, countless men stood up to defend their families and the country, and famous generals emerged in large numbers. Among them are the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the ten generals of Nandu. Historically, he once resisted Jin Wushu in Ningbo area, and defeated Liu Yu's puppet army in Henan area. But now, he is one of the deputy generals of the Huanqing Army.

Liu Kai had already opened the second official document and read it carefully.

"This turned out to be the battle plan for the occupation of Yanyun by the General Staff Headquarters. The Military Aircraft Department ordered us to contain the Jurchens in the first generation of Zhongjing, making it difficult for the 300,000 Jurchen troops to go south!" Liu Kai said.
