Chapter 39: The Enemy Is Coming

The situation in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Jin Dynasty is getting worse and worse, because the season is from winter to spring and summer, it is the time when the grass grows and the horses are fat, and the cattle and sheep cubs on the grassland also begin to grow slowly, plus Yuwenzhao has looted a large amount of grain from the frontier of the Great Jin Dynasty in the past few months, resulting in the Xianbei Department temporarily solving the food problem, so these alien races are attacking Jimen Pass more and more fiercely.

The Great Jin was on the defensive in this war, and the side defending the city was the most passive, that is, it could only stick to one side, and it was difficult to be mobile and flexible.

Take the northern frontier of the Great Jin Dynasty as an example, in fact, if Yunzhou City and the Zhenbei Army join forces and make up 200,000 troops, then with the help of the city, it is very easy to want, and there is even the spare strength to go out of the city and touch the Xianbei Department, but the fate is to die, and the two sides have no way to support each other.

Because the initiative of the attack is in the hands of the Xianbei Department, there is also a Qigui Department on the side of Yunzhou City, once Yunzhou City sends troops to support Jizhou, and the Yunzhou side is empty, it is easy to be easily broken by the enemy.

Even if there is support, it can only be limited.

In terms of 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yunzhou City, the breeder is willing to send 20,000 people to support Jizhou, which is already benevolent and righteous, but in fact, the breeder is not so atmospheric, in the case of tight border defense in Jizhou, the breeder only sent 15,000 soldiers and horses, escorted a batch of supplies, and sent them to Jizhou City.

In addition to the support from Yunzhou, there is also the imperial court's Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, according to the suggestion of Xuantong, the two battalions of the Beijing Forbidden Army were divided into four Zhechong Mansions, with a total of more than 50,000 people, slowly marching towards the north, as reinforcements from the northern Xinjiang, but it was not long before Xuantong returned to Beijing, although the reinforcements were already being made by the imperial court, but only the generals had just been selected, and the four Zhechong Mansions also had to escort the materials of the imperial court to the northern Xinjiang, counting on them to reach Jizhou, at least two or three months.

However, it is still unknown whether Jizhou can hold out for two or three months.

On a high slope outside Jimen Pass, Yu Wenzhao, who was dressed in armor, put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, turned back to his staff Fan Cheng and frowned and asked: "Mr. Fan, you said before that the Zhenbei Army would lose its backbone without the Ye family, and its morale would be low, and it should be able to take it within two months, but now that it has been fought for two months, the Zhenbei Army is still very tenacious." ”

Fan Cheng stood behind Yu Wenzhao, he also frowned, he lowered his head and said: "The Ye family has been running Jizhou for so many years, even if they don't lead troops in Jizhou for a while, they should be able to have the final say in the Zhenbei Army, but the Ye family's uncle and nephew are not in Jizhou at this time, and the Zhenbei Army in Jizhou is still working like this......"

He sighed, lowered his head and said, "It's the subordinates who underestimate the Ye family's minds. ”

Yuwen Heavenly King said in a deep voice: "Then what now? In the past two months, more than 20,000 people have been killed or wounded in our unit, and if we continue to fight, we will be wounded. ”

"The Zhenbei Army also killed a lot of people."

Fan Cheng said slowly: "Lord, in terms of troops, the Zhenbei Army is inferior to our department, and if it continues to fight, it will only be that they will not be able to support it first, and the lord has the support of the king's tent behind him, and he can transfer troops at any time, but once the casualties of the Zhenbei Army reach thirty percent, the army will inevitably be discouraged." ”

"Besides, it has been fighting for more than two months, and most of the materials for guarding the city at Jimen Pass have also been consumed, and if it continues to fight, the main guild will take advantage more and more."

"You can't give up at this time, otherwise when the support of the Southern Jin Dynasty arrives, the great cause of the lord to restore the old Zhou will be far away."

Fan Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Most of the southwest side has already cooperated with the lord at this time and made some moves, at this time, if the lord is guarding, he will definitely miss a golden opportunity." ”

Yuwen Zhao stroked his beard, then took the clairvoyant mirror in his hand back into his arms, frowned, and said: "In the past two months, most of the dead and injured are people from the other three departments, and if they continue to fight, they will rebel." ”

"He who used the king's tent."

Fan Cheng bowed his head and said: "Lord, the three departments of Yuwen have been submitted to the lord, whether it is the people of these three departments or the people of the king's tent, they are all the lord's people, at this time, the lord must be willing to die." ”

"Otherwise...... It's hard to achieve great things! ”

"Willing to ...... the Dead"

Yuwen Zhao muttered to himself, and his eyes looked to the south, his gaze far-reaching.

Just when Yuwen Zhao was thinking, a spy from the Yuwen Department came over with a bow, he didn't dare to disturb Yu Wenzhao, so he handed the document in his hand to Fan Cheng, after Fan Cheng opened it, he only glanced at it, and immediately rejoiced, he held the document in his hand and smiled at Yuwen Zhao: "Lord, the southwest has raised troops!" ”

"The Southwest Army has already fought with the Hanzhong Army of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the north and south of the court can't look at each other at this time, it is an excellent time!"

Yu Wenzhao snatched the document from Fan Cheng's hand, and he read the information sent from the southwest with burning eyes, and his face instantly showed joy.

"God help me!"

"Li Changan is really ambitious, I didn't mistake him!"

"Pass the order!"

Yu Wenzhao turned his head suddenly, and said categorically: "Transfer another 30,000 people from the king's tent, this time the people from my king's tent rushed to the front, and the dead people also died first from my king's tent!" ”

"At all costs, take the Thistle Gate!"

Fan Cheng bowed his head respectfully: "Subordinates obey!" ”

………………

On the city wall of Jimen Pass, there are some dark red blood stains everywhere, this more than one month, this Xiongguan has withstood the attack of the Xianbei Department again and again, and it has been more than ten times.

Over the past few months, although the Zhenbei army left the lives of more than 10,000 barbarians under the city, but the Zhenbei army also suffered a lot of casualties.

It's not that the Jin people are timid, but these Xianbei people start a war, and they don't want their lives one by one, the reason is very simple, they know very well in their hearts that if they don't grab enough things from the Han people, the wives and children at home, and the relatives of the clansmen will starve to death.

This is a bargain, and these steppe people are not very afraid of death because of their faith, so they almost all die in battle.

On the wall of Jimen Pass, a young lieutenant with a bandage on his forehead was patrolling the area in charge of his lieutenant battalion, and after a few months of fighting, he had a lot of wounds on his body, large and small, and the most fatal arrow rubbed a layer of skin on his forehead, only half an inch, and his newlywed wife, who was far away in the southwest, was about to be widowed.

The young lieutenant told his soldiers over and over again that when the barbarians attacked the city, they should protect the vital points and not face the city when shooting arrows.

After the instructions, he began to check whether the fire oil rolling stone was enough, but before he could finish the inspection, there was a familiar tremor in his ears!

It's the sound of a horse's hooves trampling across the earth!

Zhao Fang stopped, sighed faintly, looked in the direction of the capital, and muttered to himself.

"Brother, if you don't come to save me, your sister may be widowed......"

After muttering this, the youngest lieutenant of the Zhenbei Army took a deep breath and shouted at his subordinates.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
