Chapter 997: Jin Jun Enters

June 17, three hundred miles east of Youzhou, Lulongsai.

The scorching sun shines on this important fortress that has stood here since ancient times and has resisted countless foreign invasions for the Central Plains, scorching every brick and every inch of rammed earth on the city, and also scorching the hearts of many soldiers guarding the fortress.

The scorching heat made it not take long for the guards standing on the castle to sweat profusely, and their lips and tongues were dry, but they could not go down to the city to rest, so they could only lift the water bladder on their bodies, carefully pour the water in it into their mouths, moisten their throats and mouths, and relieve the unbearable summer heat.

"Female ...... Will the Jurchens really come from here and attack my Nanjing? The two guards who were quite close couldn't help but whisper, but before the other could say anything, there was already a low shout from the guard: "Lift the spirit to me, behind us is the city of Nanjing, and there is no room for loss." Even if it is 100,000 Jurchen soldiers who come this time, we will ...... them" Before he finished speaking, his voice was suddenly cut off, and then a pair of bull's eyes stared at the wilderness in front of the Guansai.

In a trance, he could see that in the bright white sunlight, an army was charging like a cheetah, and the speed was not at all below the galloping horse, but the army below was clearly all foot soldiers. This made the guards think that all this was an illusion caused by their hot eyes, and immediately raised their hands and rubbed them on their eyes, but everything in front of them did not disappear because of it, but became clearer and clearer, and the rushing army was closer to the main gate of Guansai.

"There is an enemy attack, and the Jurchens have attacked! Prepare me to defend against the enemy! A sharp roar quickly sounded at the head of the city, whether it was the guards on the city or the soldiers and horses resting below, they were all in high spirits, and all kinds of weapons to defend the city were quickly taken out by them and put on the head of the city.

And in the process of their hurried preparations, the Jin soldiers who were still ten miles away just now had already been killed within three miles. Then, a loud and sharp trumpet sounded from among them, and the other golden soldiers let out a strange howl, like a tiger and wolf that pounced on its prey, and they came straight to the main gate of the gate without stopping for half a moment.

This scene, almost all the defenders here were stunned, you must know that this Lulongsai is an extremely important pass in the north, even if it is not as good as before because of the negligence of the Liao State in defense and the weakening of the national strength, but the wall is still more than eight zhang high, on both sides there are dozens of zhang, and the Yanshan Mountains that stretch for more than ten miles are blocked, just like a blade inserting into the ground, it is really a very dangerous place for a man to pass and ten thousand people cannot be opened, even if there are 100,000 troops rushing over, equipped with enough siege weapons, if you want to take here, I am afraid it is not so easy.

But the golden soldiers in front of him were only 10,000 people, and except for some of them wearing leather armor, almost all of them rushed over shirtless, which really made people a little unbelievable that they could really pose any threat to Lu Longse.

But even so, the guards still didn't dare to be sloppy, and in the sound of the order, countless bows and crossbows were already aimed at the people below, wood and stone, ash bottles, and fire oil...... All the weapons that should be prepared are also in place, and they only wait for the enemy to approach the city walls, and then give them a head-on attack.

The defenders all believed that with their condescending absolute geographical superiority, even if there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses here, it would be enough to hold the pass without losing it, and it would be able to inflict heavy losses on this golden army heading south.

"Prepare ——! for me" Watching the enemy approach, the defender began to estimate the distance between the two sides, and his hands were raised high, ready to fall at any moment.

But at the moment when he was about to blurt out a word, the running golden soldiers stopped suddenly, then bent their knees and condensed, and flashed a huge longbow in front of him, and after the bowstring was full, a rain of arrows flew straight towards the city like raindrops.

It was tens of thousands of arrows, covering the sky and the sun, almost completely covering the scorching sun overhead, and also completely covering the entire wall of the main gate of Lulongse.

This time, it was too unexpected for the defenders, because the enemy's stop was still outside the range of their bows and crossbows, but the bows and arrows of the golden soldiers could shoot nearly one hundred and fifty steps, and even shot into the city, really killing the defenders of the city by surprise.

In the blink of an eye, the arrows fell on the defenders of the city, raining down on the plantains, and in an instant they had nailed all the hundreds of crossbowmen to the city walls, leaving almost nothing alive. And the guard, who only had time to let out a scream, had become a huge hedgehog and fell down with a bang.

The defenders below the gate were all stunned to see the scene in front of them, completely unable to accept such a result, so that they all lost their judgment and ability to act at this time, forgetting that the most important thing they should do at this time was to rush forward and defend the gate in place of the dead robe.

The golden soldiers below could not give them a chance to make up for their mistakes, and as this flurry of arrows flew out, they had once again rushed forward with all their might, rushing to the city with almost the same speed as sharp arrows, and then with a shake of their hands, they had already thrown out thick ropes made of vines and tenacities, all of which were firmly fastened to the city wallings, and then they pulled their hands together, and the people were already rushing straight up.

In just half a cup of tea, there are thousands of golden soldiers on these hundreds of ropes, they pass through their hands and feet and use them to climb up to the city with an extremely fast and strange movement, every pull of the hand, the foot of the step, the body can quickly go up a large section, this seems to be a tall and majestic Lulong fortress under these golden soldiers, but there is no danger at all.

This is the trick of the Jurchen clan to rise between the white mountains and black waters. In the past, in the steep and changeable mountain forest, among the cliffs where knives and axes were cut everywhere, they used this method to fly up and down, for some mountain treasures that could be exchanged for a little food. It can be said that as long as they are Jurchen men who have become old, they all have the amazing ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and this eight-zhang high wall is really not much different from the flat ground for them.

Therefore, when the defenders below the pass finally came to their senses, shouted and rushed to the city, wanting to defend again, there was already a human head rising on the outside of the wall, and they had just raised their knives to kill the enemy, and those heads had suddenly swept up, flying up to the city like eagles, and then the sharp blades in the hands of these people had flashed with cold light, and they first slashed into the necks and chests of the defenders, killing them on the spot!

As the Jin soldiers completely gained a foothold in the city, the suspense of the ensuing battle was completely lost. This is no longer a battle, but a one-sided slaughter. The defenders of Guanzhong were unable to organize any useful counterattack at all, and were quickly swallowed up by the Jin soldiers who were constantly going up the city from below, and finally they were completely driven to the rear and escaped from Lulongsai.

In just a few hours, this important fortress that the Liao people had high hopes for was defeated by the Jin soldiers, but they did not stop there, seeing the defenders fleeing, they did not hesitate to pursue the past. Suddenly, the shouts and screams resounded inside and outside the Lulong Fortress, which frightened many birds around it and flew away, and they didn't dare to come back for a short time.

Inside the closed city, there were countless corpses, and the blood had reached the ankles of the people below, and as soon as the gate opened, more golden soldiers poured in like a wave. Looking at everything here, the generals led by him let out a burst of rampant laughter: "Liaoguo is already an eagle that has been plucked out of its feathers, and the next thing they have to face is death!" ”

South of Guancheng, when the last Liao soldier fell in a pool of blood, the Jin soldiers stopped and turned back to Guannei. Although this battle was completely crushing and slaughtering, a surprise attack still consumed a lot of strength from the elite of the Jin army, so they obviously planned to rest here for a while, and by the way, wait for the arrival of the rear army before heading south.

It was not until the sky was dark that a larger contingent slowly came, and it was the main force of the Jin soldiers who arrived. I saw that there was a huge yellow dragon flag fluttering high in the middle, which was the big flag that represented the Emperor Wanyan Agu of the Jin Kingdom.

Obviously, the Jin army was full of confidence in the next battle, and they believed that under the leadership of their king, they would be able to completely swallow the Liao State, and even the Song State further south would become the next victim under their iron hooves.

The cheers and cries dispersed with the wind around the city, and finally along the long valley and gorge, to the dark mountain forest.

If it were winter, all the trees in the mountains and forests would have lost their leaves, and after the heavy snowfall, even the people of Luronse, a few miles away, could see that the situation in the mountains and forests was different, and in the depths of the forest, there were countless shadows lying in the middle.

But it's a pity that it's midsummer now, and it's the time of the year when the grass and trees are the most luxuriant, so the figures on the mountains that stretch for more than ten miles and stand at a height of dozens of zhang are all ignored by the golden soldiers in the pass. However, their every move was all caught by the ambush soldiers from above.

When they saw that Lu Longse was attacked by them so easily, many of the ambush soldiers also showed panic on their faces, imagining what would happen if they were in the middle of it. Then, after seeing those robes being pursued and slaughtered by the Jin soldiers, they were all furious, and they couldn't wait to kill them now to take revenge.

But they also know that if it is a head-to-head duel, even if they have the advantage of their own troops, they are far from being the opponent of the Jin army, which is a bloody lesson learned by the Liao State with one defeat after another. That's why today, they will join forces with the Song army and set up an ambush here, just waiting for the Jin soldiers to step into the ambush circle.

They believe that tomorrow will be the time to take revenge and kill all these golden soldiers, because they are already in the middle of the war!
