She Song

Chapter 234 Night Battle at Gubeiguan

There are two walls in Gubei Pass, the north is high and the south is low, and the middle is the camp of the guards. A straight road connects the north and the south.

Ever since Yu Hongzhouhai led a group of horse thieves with drunken Arhat Scarface out of seclusion and harassed the surrounding areas of Jinzhou, this place has been their frontline base.

Therefore, there are not only 400 border guards in the camp, but also horse bandits who have just come back from looting to rest. The original [-]-man team is currently worn out, only in the early [-]s.

When Wu Shu climbed up the south wall, Yu Hong was writing a report in the camp, and Zhou Hai and the drunk Arhat Scarface had been like each other for the past few days, drinking and gambling.

In the originally silent night, a scream suddenly sounded, and it immediately spread throughout the small camp.

Yu Hong was stunned. The Jurchens came to attack the pass before retaliating and plundering?
He immediately put down the pen and paper, took the knife and went out to look at the north wall, but then he heard the south wall exclaim.

Turning around again, Yu Hong suddenly discovered that the one-foot-high south wall was densely packed with human figures.

"Enemy attack..." More than [-] survivors stationed on the south wall finally sounded the alarm.

What the hell!

Yu Hong was shocked and frightened. Who would attack the pass from the south?

But the matter was too urgent for him to think too much, and he immediately blew his portable assembly whistle.

"Shhhhhh~"

When more than two hundred Gubei guards heard the sharp muster whistle, they immediately put on their armor and picked up their weapons from the bed and card table and rushed out.

"Fuck, meet the enemy!" Zhou Hai overturned the card table, rushed to the door, picked up the sword, kicked open the door and rushed outside.

Drunk Arhat, with a scarred face and other leaders, was stunned, obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem, and immediately followed him out of the house.

While blowing the whistle, Yu Hong instinctively gathered the guards to reinforce the south wall, but before he could get close, the Jin troops on the wall had already jumped down in an endless stream, hacking and killing anyone they met.

Forty, fifty...eighty...more than 100...people are still jumping down from behind.

Seeing that the opponent was as fierce as a tiger and a wolf, Yu Hongxin tightened his grip, fearing that he might not be able to take back the south wall, he looked around the camp area and immediately shouted: "Zhen Guojun, all retreat to the north wall!"

The person guarding Gubeiguan was a battalion commander of the Zhenguo Army. He was also shocked and confused. The unexpected situation made him completely confused about what to do. However, after hearing Yu Hong's order to retreat to the north wall, he had no choice. Follow along.

"Retreat to the north wall! Quick, go up to the north wall!"

Wu Shu jumped off the south wall, and then led people to open the south gate, and a large group of Jurchen soldiers poured into Gubei Pass like mercury pouring down the ground.

Wu Shu immediately took the lead in charging towards the north wall. When he encountered the unresponsive guards and horse thieves, he was cut down with a single knife regardless of whether he begged for mercy or not. At this time, he was already soaked in blood.

"My sons, charge and take the north gate!"

Five hundred veterans of the Golden Army rushed forward screaming together, hitting the north wall like a tsunami.

Fortunately, Yu Hong made a decisive decision and led nearly [-] guards and horse thieves to withdraw to the north wall. Then he had people turn the ballistae and city defense equipment to the camp area.

The drunk man pushed the heavy crossbow cart and asked depressedly: "What the hell, who are these guys?"

Yu Hong had already judged the identity of the other party from the shouting below, and said awe-inspiringly: "Jurchen!"

Scarface was stunned: "Jurchens? How did they come from the south?"

At this time, the clouds opened and the moon shone, and the Jurchens' shiny scalp, rat tail, and unique scimitar all verified Yu Hong's judgment.

Before everyone could be surprised, Wu Shu had already rushed fifty steps away from the north wall, and saw that the opponent was about to attack along the steps.

"Fire arrows! Smash rocks and wood..."

However, the soldiers who were urgently withdrawn did not carry any bows or crossbows except for swords and guns. They only had a stockpile of more than a hundred bows and crossbows at the north wall pass.Yu Hong immediately divided the work and said to the guard battalion commander: "You lead your people to guard the steps, and I will lead my people to guard the north gate!"

The battalion commander gritted his teeth and said, "That's it! Brothers, shoot whoever comes up the steps! Fuck his grandma!"

Zhou Hai adjusted a crossbow cart and then swung the wooden hammer to hit the machine bracket.

"Boom!"

Three javelin-like crossbow arrows were shot out instantly, and then three gaps were cleared among the dense Jin army. One of the crossbow arrows penetrated the two Jurchen soldiers and pinned them to the ground.

Drunk Arhat and Scarface shouted in unison: "Old Zhou, good shot!"

As he spoke, the drunken arhat picked up the stone and threw it at the golden soldier's head. One golden soldier was hit and fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

Zhou Haichong smiled at the drunken Arhat and said, "You're not bad either!"

Under the leader's demonstration, the guards and horse thieves on the wall temporarily forgot their fear and launched counterattacks one after another.

After dozens of Jin soldiers at the front were injured or killed, Wu Shu slowed down the offensive and let his men shoot at the city. Then he led forty or fifty strong warriors and quickly searched for enough shields from the barracks.

"Follow me and charge!" Wu Shu held the knife in his mouth, held a shield on each side and rushed towards the steps leading to the north wall against the rain of arrows.

Dozens of fierce Jurchen men also held double shields in their hands and scimitars in their mouths to protect the Fourth Prince as they charged into the Guanbei city wall.

Wu Shu's double-shield tactic worked, and most of the crossbow arrows were blocked. Wu Shu took a few steps up to the sixty steps, and unexpectedly rushed to the top. So, the battalion commander dropped two huge rolling logs one after another, hoping to force him back. Golden soldiers.

However, Wanyan Wushu's natural power and sharp eyes took advantage of the moment when the rolling log bounced, pushed it from bottom to top, and actually pushed the first rolling log away.

The second log came in an instant, but Wu Shu saw the timing and suddenly took a step forward and jumped forward, the huge log brushed past his feet.

The battalion commander and guards exclaimed: Damn it, is this okay? !
The second rolling log hit the shield wall. Except for the two Jurchen soldiers who were knocked down, the other soldiers continued to attack upwards following Wu Shu.

Can't let them attack!

Seeing the critical situation at the steps, Yu Hong shouted: "Old Zhou, help defend the steps!"

Zhou Hai turned around and found that Wu Shu was about to hit the wall, so he said, "Follow me!" After saying that, he picked up the spear and rushed to the steps.

Wu Shu, who was already in close combat with the guards, no longer needed his shield to protect himself from arrows, so he swung his shield and knocked down the two spearmen above him, took out the scimitar from his mouth and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

This guy was so tough and brave that the two shield-wielding guards were knocked down by his powerful blow, and Wu Shu was able to set foot on the northern wall of Gubeiguan.

Dozens of Jurchen elites, seeing the fourth prince ascending first, immediately yelled and ran forward, threw their shields at the guards one after another, and then hacked and killed them with their knives.

At the critical moment, Zhou Hai, Drunk Arhat, Scarface and other horse thieves arrived and fought hard against the Jin army.

On the side of Zhou Hai's reinforcement steps, the pressure on Yu Hong's side increased sharply. The Jurchens were all good at riding and shooting. The moon was white and the wind was clear. The city wall was only thirty or fifty steps away, so they were basically easy targets for the opponent.

However, the defensive side of the wall did not have enough bows and crossbows, especially the Jurchens who were more than twice as many as the defenders. Horse thieves and guardsmen fell to the ground one by one after being hit by arrows. Yu Hong gradually lost control. The Jin army finally rushed into the door and gained Gubei. The north-south passage of the pass.

Zhou Hai and the horse thieves leaders could not resist the increasing number of Jurchens, and the city was on the verge of collapse.

When Wu Shu forced the guards and horse thieves into a corner of the wall, facing the Zhenguo Army who knew they were outmatched but resisted desperately, Wu Shu, who had control of the overall situation, suddenly became curious about them.

He stopped his men's attack and said: "If you lose, I will give you the opportunity to serve Dajin. As long as you put down your weapons, I will give you preferential treatment!"

Yu Hong had three or four arrow wounds on his chest and back, and the heartbreaking pain came one after another. He looked at the twenty or so people around him and asked: "Who among you... ahem... wants to... ahem... surrender?" of?"
