On the eighth day of the eighth month, fierce battle broke out again in Wuguan.

Thousands of traitors held shields and squeezed into a small space, braved the dense rain of arrows from the Tang army and siege the city with cloud ladders. Behind were thousands of archers, stone gunners, firing feather arrows and stone cannons.

The Yuan army, which had a larger number of people, could only worry in the mountain road. Because the battlefield under the city was too narrow, it could not deploy too many troops.

The Tang army's bed crossbows and stone cannons on the Guancheng were also fired together. Since the Yuan army gathered together, many traitors could be killed and injured in each attack.

The Mongolian general Gu Yahai, who was watching the battle not far away, and Yan Zhongji, the chief general of the Han army, both looked gloomy.

This Wu Pass actually blocked their army of more than 100,000 for three months!

Tens of thousands of people died, and there was no way to take Wuguan. No matter how strong the morale of the army was, it would be exhausted in this day after day battle.

Yan Zhongji had long wanted to retreat, and most of the Han troops who died in battle were his troops. However, the Mongolian Sei Eye soldiers had never fought once on the grounds that they were not good at attacking, and there were zero casualties.

But after all, he was a Han general, and what he said was not the final word. Whether to fight or withdraw was all in the hands of the Mongolian general Gu Yahai.

Speaking of which, Yan Zhongji has a good status and is of old qualifications. He is one of the six great horoscopes and comes from the Yan family of Dongping. This person is also good at poetry and is called "Confucian general".

Yan Zhongji has a poem "Tian Jingsha", two of which are very famous: I would rather live ten years less than a day without teaching.

Listen, you can tell how sincerely the person writes such words into his poems.

"Guyahai, this battle cannot be fought like this. Even though our army is numerous, it cannot withstand such consumption." Yan Zhongji couldn't help but oppose again.

Gu Yahai was dealing with a bone of lamb leg. He tore off his last bite of meat, sucked the bone marrow and threw away the bones. Then he rubbed his greasy hands on the braids, then got into the underside of the horse's belly and sucked a few sips of horse milk. He burped in satisfaction, and then he came out to speak.

"Duke Dongping County, haven't you seen the rebels not using the sharp firearm today? What does it mean? It means that the rebels' gunpowder is exhausted, just like a scorpion that stung several people, and they are no longer in strength. Seeing that the exhausted yellow sheep is about to fall, should the wolf give up chasing?"

Gu Yahai's meaning is very clear, keep fighting.

Gu Yahai was a teenager younger than Yan Zhongji, and his qualifications and military merits were not as good as Yan Zhongji, but because he was a Mongolian powerful man with big roots, he could suppress Yan Zhongji, a veteran.

Yan Zhongji was angry. You really did not make a light fart when you were eating lamp grass gray! It turned out that the Mongolian soldiers who died were not the Mongolian soldiers, so of course you would not be heartbroken.

Grandma's!

Yan Zhongji suppressed his anger, relied on his qualifications and pointed at Guan Cheng and continued to oppose: "Guyahai, it is rare for the rebels to have strong fighting spirit. Haven't you seen that even if they don't use that powerful firearm, they are still like wolves and tigers? How many more people will die in our army when they fight like this?"

"Hmph." Gu Yahai snorted dissatisfiedly, and was ruthless in Mongolian language. "Aging and cowardly hunter will tell others that the prey he met is as brave as a tiger and as majestic as a lion, making excuses for losing his courage. Dongping County Duke, aren't you this old and cowardly hunter?"

"Even if the rebels are Manggusi's servants, even if Mao Wusipo helped them perform magic, the warriors' arrows would shoot through their rebellious hearts, and the sharp scimitar would cut off their heads. From the moment they resisted Dayuan, their fate was destined to be like this."

Yan Zhongji heard Gu Yahai calling him cowardly, and he couldn't help but get angry anymore.

"Guyahai! When you were still a child, I had already followed the Khan to attack Song Dynasty! I have never been cowardly!" Yan Zhongji said angrily, his gray beard standing up one by one.

Gu Yahai said "yohe" and squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Zhongji with a sneer. "Old guy, you are very angry. Are you talking to me? Well? Have you forgotten that Gu Yahai is the head coach of the army? Hum?"

Yan Zhongji's face turned red, but he didn't dare to talk anymore.

"ah-"

Suddenly, a blockbuster scream came from the city. It turned out that the Tang army gathered all the divine arm bows and fired in a volley. Hundreds of traitors were injured even if they were not killed. Yan Zhongji's eyes turned red when they saw it.

The siege side is really at a disadvantage.

In addition, the Tang army is brave and good at fighting, and often more than a dozen traitors under the city are injured and killed by the Tang army in exchange for the casualties of the Tang army in the city.

If we continue to fight like this, even if the morale of the army does not collapse, at least another 50,000 or 60,000 people will be killed or injured before we can win the Wu Pass.

Just as the morale of the Yuan army under Guancheng was floating, Guancheng suddenly opened up suddenly, and three thousand Tang troops rushed out rumblingly and took the initiative to attack.

The traitor army fought for several months and had been attacking the dangerous barriers, but never took the initiative to attack. This made them blind spots in thinking that there were few rebels and it was impossible to take the initiative to attack.

So the Tang army suddenly attacked and they were completely stunned.

Under the fierce attack of the Tang army, the Yuan army under the city was in chaos. The people in front of them screamed and retreated one after another, while the people behind were blocked from their sight. They didn't know what was happening ahead, and they couldn't help but retreat in panic.

In addition, the narrow battlefield was very crowded, and for a while, many people were squeezed into the cliffs on both sides.

"Ah, help!"

The screams of the person who fell off the cliff were extremely shrill, which further aggravated the panic of the Yuan army.

"kill!"

"die!"

The fierce Tang army carried swords and guns and covered in iron armor, rushed into the Yuan army with unstoppable force, and the traitor army killed was defeated.

In fact, after fighting for a long time, the auxiliary soldiers were defending. More than 3,000 regular Tang army troops were raising their strength and lying behind the city gate to prepare for attack.

After attacking for a long time, the traitor army not only suffered heavy casualties and exhausted, but also their morale was exhausted. In addition, the Tang army's combat power was stronger than the traitor army, so it was like a tiger entering the flock of sheep, almost one-sided slaughtering the traitor army was unstoppable.

As thousands of traitors collapsed, everyone was frightened and rushed to retreat. More people were squeezed down the cliff, and the screams of those who fell off the cliff echoed in the valley, which was creepy.

"boom-"

At this moment, the few remaining gunpowder finally used once, and several six-pound stone cannons bombarded the dense traitor army, killing and in an instant.

The traitor army was completely collapsed when they were scattered.

Thousands of people rushed over to the mountain path behind them at all costs, crowding on the narrow mountain path, and hundreds of people fell off the cliff.

Gu Yahai and Yan Zhongji squeezed over like an avalanche, so they could only retreat quickly.

So, on the long mountain road, the Yuan army was constantly forced to retreat by layers, and people continued to fall on the cliffs on both sides. The Tang army chased the defeated soldiers, and the defeated soldiers desperately squeezed the Yuan army behind... Finally, everyone and horses moved and squeezed backwards on the narrow mountain road.

Such a wonder appeared on the steep mountain road just one or two meters wide, which is rare in ancient and modern times.

In fact, the northern traitor army is very strong, although not as strong as the Tang army, but it is absolutely powerful. However, for several months, the army's morale and fighting spirit have been greatly damaged, and even the generals are in a sluggish manner. Once they collapse at this time, it will be irreversible.

The collapse was like a plague, infected more traitors with low morale, making the squeezing force on the mountain road more fierce, and spreading to the back, even the war horses of Mongolian eye-catching soldiers fell off the cliff.

The traitors in front were next to the selves in the middle, and the selves in the middle were next to the Mongolian soldiers behind, and there was no room at all.

He kept wriggling, squeezing, scolding, and falling off the cliff. He couldn't stop him. Even if the Mongolian soldiers wanted to stop him, they were so crowded that they had no room to slash.

Especially the narrower place was only ten feet wide, which was the most dangerous. The Yuan army was squeezed and fell like dumplings. The screams of people and horses even aggravated the fear of the crowd.

In this situation, all military orders are no longer useful. Crowding has become a "momentum", and no force can immediately stop this "momentum" and stop the crowding.

In the end, the Yuan army retreated for more than ten miles on the narrow mountain road, and it stopped the crowding trend until it arrived at the large Yuan army camp in the spacious area.

The Tang army chased for more than ten miles in one breath, calmly pulled out contact, and retreated to the city. The lost traitor army did not dare to pursue and had no intention of pursuing it.

Whether it is Mongolian soldiers, seductive soldiers, or Han soldiers, everyone is still shocked and sweating all over. When they think back on what happened just now, they still want to cry without tears, as if they have a nightmare.

What's going on? War is not so scary.

Only then did everyone realize that their bodies were sore and their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were extremely tired.

Even generals such as Gu Yahai and Yan Zhongji were in a mess and sweating. They were squeezed in the middle of their own soldiers for more than ten miles, so where did they have the demeanor of a general?

"Damn it! Damn it!" Gu Yahai was furious and ordered his personal soldiers to kill several Han army officers in the name of escaping in the battle, which shocked people.

Yan Zhongji dared to be angry but not speak, so he simply closed his eyes and ignored him.

Today's scene is simply a joke. If this is spread to Dadu, he and Gu Yahai will probably become laughing stocks.

The last count was that there were more than 500 war horses falling off the cliff. The soldiers falling off the cliff could not count, and the people killed by the Tang army were nearly 10,000! Even the precious Mongolian soldiers, nearly 1,000 people fell off the cliff.

There are also corpses on the long mountain road.

The Yuan army generals all had their faces ashen. Their experiences in the military together have never fought such a bloody battle.

"Tomorrow, continue to attack Wuguan! You can't just let it go!" Gu Yahai said gritting his teeth, "A coward who dares to retreat, kill!"

The greater the cost, the more he will have to conquer Wu Pass. Otherwise, this will become a stain on his life.

Yan Zhongji also said with a firm heart: "Even if the Han army is dead, we will still conquer Wu Pass!"

For his lifetime of fame, Yan Zhongji didn't care about his soldiers.

We must conquer Wu Pass!

…………

The Tang army returned to Guancheng and counted the casualties, but found that less than a hundred casualties were found.

It's just a duck hunt.

In fact, neither Liu Weitai nor Li Jing expected to be able to fight like this. They originally thought of attacking him unexpectedly and defeated the Yuan army and killed more and more soldiers of the Yuan army. But they did not expect that they had such good luck.

The Yuan army, which was squeezed out of the cliff, was far superior to the Yuan army that was killed. It was really a surprise.

"Brother Li, after the Tartars suffered such a great loss, they will definitely come to take revenge tomorrow. There will be a hard battle tomorrow." Liu Weitai said, looking at the city below.

Li Jing said: "The Tartars will attack tomorrow, so they may play tricks. In short, water will cover the soil."

After the two discussed, they decided to use all the remaining gunpowder to deal with tomorrow's Yuan army's offensive.

Each team held a member meeting, and the warriors sacrificed the martial saints and blessed the martial arts in the simple martial temple temporarily built in the city of Guancheng.

Everyone knows that tomorrow or the next day, there will be hard battles.

As expected, the next morning, the Yuan army that came to Guancheng was no longer only the Han army, but also the secular soldiers.

Five thousand people were tied with linen around their waists, and they were wearing mourning posture.

Each of these five thousand people was wearing two layers of iron armor. They were the suicide soldiers "selected" by the ancient Yama. They were selected from the Han army and the Semei soldiers. Only one situation could survive.

Conquer Wu Pass.
