The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 513

Xiao Pu was killed, and Confucian State fell, but the soldiers who surrendered sent a letter, which was Xiao Pu's last letter, which was written by Zhao Gou.Zhao Gou quickly took it apart and looked at it carefully, only to realize why things went so smoothly.

In fact, when the special envoy came, Xiao Puta had already guessed that this was Song Jun's strategy, and he readily accepted it without saying anything.It's just that he was worried about the generals who followed him to fight in the north and south, so he secretly gave an order that if he really couldn't stand it, he would surrender directly.

Xiao Pu fought in the South and North for more than ten years, and he was full of conflicts in his heart, especially when he was suppressed again and again, which made him very entangled and depressed.Now that the matter has been decided, let nature take its course, there is no need to force it, and you don't want to fight for anything, and choose death resolutely.

Zhao Gou ordered people to bury Xiao Pu again, and after resting for a while, he decided to send troops to attack three passes, namely Juyong Pass, Daoma Pass and Zijing Pass.

Juyongguan is one of the "Nine Fortresses of the World" and the eighth of the "Eight Xings of the Taihang".

It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times!As for the other two passes, they are relatively simple, and the location of Juyongguan is extremely special, and this pass is also very sad. To the east of Juyongguan is Youzhou.If you want to attack Youzhou, you must pass three passes, otherwise you will not be able to move forward.

"Juyongguan is the most difficult of the three passes. It can be attacked from a distance, and can be defended from a distance. If the three passes are breached, then Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will surely be won."

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "If the three passes are difficult to break, then the battle ahead will be even more difficult. Even if the Jin people break their promises and break their promises, don't worry, Juyongguan is the real line of defense."

"Since ancient times, countless generals have fought in Juyongguan, and many of them died in battle. Brothers, raise your troops tomorrow and attack Juyongguan."

"If Juyongguan is forced, you don't have to stay. Go south and take the other two passes. However, you must remember that the victory or defeat of the war is important, and your life must also be valued. You must not fight forcefully. Because after passing these three passes, the subsequent battles It's getting more and more difficult, and everyone should be careful."

Wu Yong frowned, and said: "Commander, none of the brothers have any experience in attacking in such a situation. If they really rush to attack, it may be a disaster."

Due to the special location of Juyongguan, surrounded by cliffs, even if there are trees and other shelters, it is still difficult to hide the figures of everyone.In addition, if you want to attack, you must occupy Juyongguan, because there is a Great Wall in Juyongguan, which was used to resist the attacks of northern nomads such as Huns and Xianbei during the Qin and Han Dynasties.

It is conceivable that Juyongguan's defensive strength must not be weak.As for the attack power, it should not be underestimated.If you attack rashly, you are looking for death.

Liu Guangshi then said: "Commander, what the military adviser said is true! I have heard from my father that it is very difficult to break through Juyongguan. If you attack rashly, you will suffer heavy casualties."

Zhao Gou asked suspiciously, "Your father has been here before?"

Liu Guangshi nodded and said: "My father once went to Juyongguan, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they can easily defeat us. At the beginning, my father had weighed it and said that he could not break through. It can be seen that It's hard to hit three levels."

Zhao Gou smiled slightly and said, "I've been thinking about this question for a long time! That's why I asked all brothers to gather here!"

"What good strategy does the commander have?" Wu Yong asked quickly, he is a military adviser, but at this moment there is nothing he can do.After all, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are really not familiar with it. If the decision is made wrong, the loss will be heavy, and I really can't bear the responsibility.

Next, Zhao Gou drew the terrain of Juyongguan in detail, and deduced it several times on the sand table. He knew that Juyongguan had the Great Wall, and the walls of the Great Wall were wide and thick.

Zhao Gou needs a group of experts who can climb the cliffs. Let them set out, go around to the back of Juyongguan, and then put ropes to lock them down, so that the soldiers behind can keep up. If you don't find a direct assault, if you find it, you will attract attention, and then the people behind will fight, which will also minimize the loss.

Everyone also thought it was good, and then Zhao Gou deployed a plan to attack the other two levels.If Juyongguan is attacked, the other two passes cannot be ignored. We must send troops to reinforce them.

Zhao Gou ordered everyone to go down and gather soldiers and horses, but after counting, only a hundred or so people had this ability, and they were cultivated before, and the others were looking for death in this battle.

In the end, Zhao Gou decided to go out in person this time. He led a hundred people to climb the peak, starting from the cliff, but he needed a sharp knife.Because the cliffs are not fun, if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the mountain stream, and there will be no bones left.

Gao Chong and Zhao Yougong followed around, and they set off first with 1000 people.The main force will set off tomorrow. Since climbing the cliffs takes time, it cannot be done overnight.

Zhao Gou and others quietly came to the cliff on the side of Juyongguan. They were really shocked when they saw the straight cliff.Under the cliff is the rushing mountain stream.The mountain water here looks chilling, but the blue stones in the water are particularly eye-catching.

"Ninth brother, I really have to climb!" Zhao Yougong looked at the steep cliff, panicked in his heart, swallowed involuntarily, and muttered.

Zhao Gou didn't expect it to be so steep, like flat ground.However, if there is no climbing up, then the consequences of the war will be unpredictable.

Zhao Gou nodded resolutely, and replied affirmatively: "We must climb! Second brother, you all follow me, I will go up first!"

Zhao Yougong was taken aback, and quickly said: "Don't, I'll go up! If there is something wrong with you, whoever won't skin me and cramp after I go back!"

Zhao Gou grabbed Zhao Yougong, shook his head and said, "Second brother, your martial arts are not as good as mine, even if there is any danger, I can withdraw in time, you just wait to come up with them."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gou went straight up. When he got to the edge of the cliff, he found that there were still some places where he could stay. This was enough.With these footholds, it is easy for Zhao Gou to go up.

In his previous life, Zhao Gou lived in the countryside, and rock climbing was commonplace for him.Besides, now that he has martial arts in his body, it is much simpler.

Zhao Gou climbed halfway and found out that the situation is better on the top, but the bottom is really difficult. The most difficult part is the middle section. If you want to go up, you can’t reach it, and you can’t do anything if you think about it, because there is no way. .Now Zhao Gou thinks of the excavator of Ke's later life, if there is one, it doesn't have to be so laborious.

At this time, Zhao Gou had climbed more than half of the way, but his movements were much slower.It's not because of lack of physical strength, but because there are patrol soldiers above, which makes his movements much slower, while Zhao Yougong and others below are anxious. They saw that Zhao Gou's speed was much slower, and they thought it was due to physical strength No, I'm a little worried.

Even if they wanted to shout, it would have no effect. The sound of the mountain stream was too loud to be able to do anything.

Zhao Gou looked around again, and finally found that there were many exposed stones on the cliff. With the help of these stones, Zhao Gou ran up step by step.

When he finally reached the top of the mountain, he was dripping with sweat.Zhao Gou observed it again, and saw that there was a place to hide here.Then, Zhao Gou let the ropes down one by one, and he went down again by himself.

Zhao Gou briefly talked about the situation above, and then let Zhao Yougong, Gao Chong and a hundred people go up first.As for himself, he stayed here and kept telling everyone the key points and methods of rock climbing.

After four or five hours of hard work, everyone went up.However, some people fell down during the rock climbing process and were washed away by the mountain stream, disappearing without a trace.

Zhao Gou looked at the stars in the sky and reckoned that there was still a little time before dawn.Then he ordered everyone to rest for a while, and they can attack when the time is almost up.

The Liao army didn't know that the Song army would come up from the cliff from the beginning to the end, so they let it go.At this time, the main force of the Song army was also dispatched to directly attack Juyongguan.

The Liao army was attracted by the main force of the Song army, and their rears were all exposed.When Zhao Gou heard the sound of fighting, he immediately ordered everyone to start a surprise attack.

Sure enough, an army that Zhao Gou wrestled became the key to victory.When the Liao army saw that there were enemy troops behind them, they were dumbfounded. When they came back to their senses, Zhao Gou had already led his men to attack.

After cooperating with the inside and the outside, and attacking from both sides, the Liao army was hard to resist, and finally Juyongguan was taken away.In addition, the guards at the two gates learned that the Song army was coming to attack, so they sent troops to reinforce them, but unfortunately it was of no avail. In the end, all the troops they sent were captured by the Song army.

Then, Zhao Gou ordered to continue attacking southward. This time they did not take the risk, but directly faced the enemy.Due to the small number of troops, they could only go head-to-head with the Song army, but they still couldn't stop the Song army's pace, and finally all died heroically.

The three passes were breached by the Song Army led by Zhao Gou and became the Song Army's pocket.In addition, when the three passes were breached, more than 6000 enemies were beheaded and [-] were captured; the Song army killed [-] people, and the most dead were when they attacked Juyongguan. Ruan Xiaowu, Zhang Xian, Wu Jie, and Niu Gao were seriously injured and unconscious, and the others were also injured to varying degrees.

Even though he tried his best to save him, Ruan Xiaowu still died.Although the battle started and the Song army won, it also paid a heavy price.After all, Sanguan is not in vain.

Now, the three passes have been captured by the Song army, and now the other guards are also panicking. They are worried, who else can resist such a Song army, even if the strength is equal, if it is not covered by a natural fortress, They couldn't stop their pace at all, and now they were really worried, and everyone had a sense of fear and frustration on their faces.
