Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The Taihang Mountains are located to the east of the Loess Plateau. The overall terrain is gentle on the northwest side, and the North China Plain is on the southwest side. The vertical and horizontal differences are obvious.

Jinpo Pass happens to be under such geographical conditions. The terrain that needs to be defended in the north is gentle, and there is a small Huailai Basin in the distance, which can be used as a rest and service area for incoming enemies. However, to the south of Guancheng, the strategic direction is The gap is obvious and the terrain is steep, making it difficult to supply food and grass.

There have been more than a hundred battles at Jinpo Pass in history, and the defenders were defeated many times. Every time the iron horse Xi Feng, who came from the desert grassland, wanted to invade Yanjing, he had to try to attack Juyong Pass first, but Juyong Pass failed. The natural danger has never been lost. As a result, if we can't defeat Juyong Pass, we attack Jinpo Pass. If we can't defeat Juyong Pass, we attack Jinpo Pass.

And what about Jinpoguan? He is simply the illegitimate son of a landlord's maid, a natural doormat.

Historically, it was not until the Qing Dynasty that the inside and outside of the Great Wall were unified, and Jinpo Pass no longer suffered from such cowardice.

In other words, the city at Juyong Pass has always been destroyed when the pass is broken, so no matter who takes Yanjing, they will heavily defend Juyong Pass.

Jinpoguan is often overlooked.

This is especially true for Shuibo Liangshan, a new force that has just entered the Yan region.

The Jin people had already found out that the Liangshan Army only deployed an infantry army at Jinpo Pass. The general guarding the pass was named Cao Zheng, who used to be a butcher.

The Jin people had already discovered that Jinpo Pass was not built in a dangerous pass in the mountains and rivers. It was not strong enough. In addition, the defensive surface was too large and there were too many trails, making it easy to be penetrated.

Also, because Shuibo Liangshan had just taken over Yan territory, it had not bothered to reinforce Jinpo Pass, so the urn city of Jinpo Pass had not been built yet.

All in all, the current Jinpo Pass is not a great pass that "one man can pass but ten thousand men can't open it", but is very cowardly and one of the "cowardly pass".

In the words of Yu Qian, a minister of the Ming Dynasty: "Dangers have their severity, and defenses have their priorities. Juyong and Zijing are both Jifu and keep silent. Commentators often enter Yongguan first and then Zijingguan, but they don't know that only three of them can enter Juyongguan. , the bandits who peeked into Zijin Pass were able to gain access to seven out of ten."

This means: the probability of success in attacking Juyong Pass is very low, only three out of ten, but the success rate in attacking Zijing Pass is seven out of ten.

Do you think Jinpo Guan is a coward?

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty had not yet reached the Ming Dynasty, and Yu Qian's remarks had not yet been made, and the time when Shuibo Liangshan occupied Yanjing was too short, and he could not care about the problems here at Jinpo Pass.

Even Jiang Hongfei thought that there would be no problem if Jinpo Pass was handed over to the strategic Cao Zhenglai to guard it.

That's right.

After Cao Zheng took over Jinpo Pass, he worked hard to set up defenses and repair the pass, which had been abandoned for more than 200 years.

The key point is that although the Jin army came to check the pass at night, Cao Zheng had already arranged a lot of haystacks under the pass. When he felt something was wrong, he ordered people to shoot the hay to kill the Jin army who was trying to break the pass. After taking a photo, he immediately organized a defense.

Moreover, although Cao Zheng was shocked by the sneak attack on Jinpo Pass, Cao Zheng still did not forget to send people to light the beacon tower as soon as possible.

It can be said that Cao Zheng has done a good enough job.

But Cao Zheng's Bu San Army still had a very big shortcoming - there were no strong generals.

Bu Sanjun's number one qi refining master is Jiao Ting.

But even Jiao Ting is only a third-rate Qi practitioner.

Wanyan Xieye's team includes four masters: Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyan Salihe, as well as many who are very powerful and can fight head-on with the monsters in the Changbai Mountains. Qigator.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, under the command of Wanyan Xieye, taking advantage of the high and low spans of Jinpo Pass, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyan Sali took the lead, leading the Qi refining masters in the Jin army, from Jump from high to the Guan City of Jinpo Pass.

The "cowardice" of Zijingguan is mainly caused by its geographical location. In the "Zhi of Four Towns and Three Passes", a Ming Dynasty official (Yizhou Military Preparatory Inspector) commented on Zijingguan: "Among the floating maps and Baoding of Zijingguan, The mountain is not dangerous, and the river is not deep. If we rely on the three general bureaus of Futu, Wulong and Jingjing, we will be able to defeat the redbuds. "

In other words, there is no very reliable natural barrier at Zijing Pass and there is no danger to defend it. If you want to defend Zijingguan, you have to move your position forward and defend several passes such as the Pagoda on the outside. Otherwise, if the outside is lost, Zijingguan will basically be finished.

It's not that Cao Zheng didn't see this, but he only had 5,000 troops. The key was that he took over Jinpo Pass for too short a time. He had no time to build and operate peripheral passes such as pagodas, so he could only defend the pass.

As a result, the Jin people broke into Guancheng without much effort.

What made Cao Zheng even more difficult to resist was that Wanyan Xie also sent Wanyan Zongfu to lead a Jin army to sneak past Jinpo Pass along the path, go around to the south of the pass, destroy the defensive restrictions on the Great Wall, and break down the side wall.

When they learned that the Jin Army had entered the pass, the soldiers of the Bu San Army couldn't help but panic!

Seeing this, Cao Zheng loudly encouraged the soldiers of the three armies: "The golden dog must have pierced a trail somewhere. There will never be too many of his soldiers, so there is nothing to be afraid of. His large army, especially his spirit horses and baggage, if you want to make a big move After passing the pass, we will definitely capture my Guancheng. As long as we hold the Guancheng, we can hold back his army. It won’t take long for reinforcements to arrive. "

Encouraged by Cao Zheng, the soldiers of the Bu and San armies pressed down the Jin army with bows and crossbows in stages.

The Guancheng of Jinpoguan is a large city within a small city, which can also be understood as a plum blossom shape, which can effectively delay the enemy's attack.

Cao Zheng took advantage of the crossbows and the geographical advantages of Guancheng to fight against the Jin army bit by bit, and did not engage in contact battles with the Jin army at all.

As a result, even if there are three masters in the golden army, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyan Salihe, their advancement speed is not very fast.

After Wanyan Zongfu led part of the Jin army through the Great Wall, he hurried to Jinpo Pass, hoping to attack Jinpo Pass from behind and let the army led by Wanyan Xieye enter Jinpo Pass.

Just before Wanyan Zongfu led 2,000 men to Jinpo Pass, Zhao Li personally led a thousand horse troops to reinforce Jinpo Pass.

Wanyan Zongfu was worthy of being one of the most experienced generals in the Jin Kingdom. When he saw that Zhao Li's men were all horsemen, he immediately occupied the favorable terrain on the hillside and shot at Zhao Li and the others.

Seeing this, Zhao Li took the lead and led the thousand men and horses to shoot at the Jin army and charge against the Jin army's arrows.

Zhao Li was different from those who were reluctant to go to Liangshan.

Before going to Liangshan, Zhao Li was recruited as a soldier just because of his bravery.

When Jiang Hongfei arrived, Jiang Hongfei vigorously promoted Zhao Li, and he soon became a commander in charge of 10,000 horses.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Hongfei was very grateful to Zhao Li.

After becoming a general, Zhao Li disliked money and wealth. Able to share joys and sorrows with soldiers. In every battle, he always rushes to the front, and he always punishes those who retreat before the battle. It can be said that he ran the army extremely strictly.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Li's troops have strong combat effectiveness.

In this battle, Jiang Hongfei did not arrange for Zhao Li to meet Jinpo Pass. He arranged for Zhao Li to meet Juyong Pass.

——Jiang Hongfei received the news that the Jin Army only sent three armies to attack Juyong Pass, Gubeikou and Nan'an Pass respectively. I wonder if there was also a surprise attack on Jinpo Pass.

Zhao Li saw that Wang Zhen was guarding Juyong Pass like a metal bucket, and there was no need for him to support him. He also had a vague feeling that this was not enough for the Jin army to sweep across the Liao Empire.

So Zhao Li took out the map of Yandi and looked at it carefully.

Zhao Li put himself in his shoes and felt that if he were a Jin man, he would not fight here at Juyong Pass. He would definitely detour to Jinpo Pass and enter Yandi from Jinpo Pass.

After thinking this way, Zhao Li took the initiative to request Jiang Hongfei to leave 5,000 troops to support Juyong Pass. He personally led 5,000 troops to support Jinpo Pass.

After being reminded by Zhao Li, Jiang Hongfei realized that Juyong Pass had always been easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was as strong as Temujin and was invincible, but there was nothing he could do about Juyong Pass.

There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty: "If you are mediocre, you will be on my back; if you are on a golden slope, you will be on my throat; if you are in a hurry, you will grab my throat and stick to my back."

Jiang Hongfei looked at Yandi's map carefully and found that only the Jinpoguan area along the Inner Great Wall belonged to a valley basin with rivers running through it, which was conducive to transportation.

Liu Huiniang reminded Jiang Hongfei that Jinpoguan had been captured many times since the Warring States Period.

So Jiang Hongfei agreed to Zhao Li's request.

Zhao Li then left 5,000 men and horses to continue to meet Juyongguan, and personally led 1,000 horse troops and 4,000 infantry troops to Yizhou.

Before arriving in Yizhou, Zhao Li saw the beacon lighted by Cao Zheng.

Zhao Li made a prompt decision and ordered the infantry to march behind. He personally led the cavalry to advance to reinforce Jinpo Pass.

Facing the fierce shooting of the Jin army, Zhao Li was not afraid and charged bravely.

During the charge, Zhao Li was hit by six arrows, but he became more courageous as he fought.

One of the arrows shot through both of Zhao Li's cheeks, rendering him unable to speak, so he could only direct with his hands.

But this did not affect Zhao Li's charge at all.

When Zhao Li's soldiers saw this, they were greatly encouraged and charged with all their might.

Under the leadership of Zhao Li, a thousand men and horses rushed up the hillside at the expense of less than 300 men and horses.

There is no suspense next. One side is the cavalry army and the other is the infantry army. Although the Jin army has more people, it is no match for the cavalry army.

But it has to be said that the Jin people were indeed brave, and they were not willing to fail. Under the leadership of Wanyan Zongfu, they all wielded scimitars to fight against the cavalry army led by Zhao Li.

The two sides fought for a meal, and Zhao Li defeated the Jin army. Even Wanyan Zongfu was wounded by Zhao Li.

In the end, Wanyan Zongfu led five to seven hundred defeated soldiers to climb up the mountain. Zhao Li and other Liangshan Army soldiers who were dismounted and pursued were driven back to the north of the Great Wall.

actually--

Even so, Wanyanxie still has a chance to win.

You should know that although Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyan Salihe advanced slowly, they soon pushed Bu San's army into a desperate situation.

However, just when the Jin army was about to break through the Jinpo Pass, an auspicious cloud flew over.

Above this auspicious cloud is Jiang Hongfei and his women.

Seeing the beacon lighted by Cao Zheng, Jiang Hongfei also realized that he had fewer troops deployed at Jinpo Pass. Jinpo Pass might be the winner in the fight between himself and Wanyan Agu.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei immediately dispatched troops and generals to reinforce Jinpo Pass.

However, Yanjing City is more than 300 miles away from Zijingguan. If we expect reinforcements from Yanjing City to reinforce Zijingguan, even the cavalry army will have to walk at least a day.

Fortunately, Jiang Hongfei knew that Zhao Li had already sent reinforcements.

After thinking about it, Jiang Hong flew up into an auspicious cloud, carrying Gao Liang, Chen Liqing, Hua Baoyan, Hu Sanniang, Qiongying, Su Jinniang, Pang Qiuxia, Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu, Yelu Dalibao and other girls to Jinpo Pass. Liu Huiniang and Zhu Wu led an army of 100,000 people and came later.

What a coincidence.

When Jiang Hongfei and his party arrived at Jinpo Pass, the four thousand infantry troops brought by Zhao Li also arrived at Jinpo Pass.

Jiang Hongfei immediately put down Gaoliang and other women and asked them to lead the four thousand infantry to counterattack.

As soon as these tigresses entered the battlefield, they immediately reversed the situation where Cao Zheng had no Qi refining masters. Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyan Salihe, who had previously been extremely brave, were beaten to death by the girls. Defeat and retreat.

What left Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyan Salihe quite speechless was that many of the girls used long-range attacks. If they didn't pay attention, an arrow would fly towards them, or a flying knife, Flying rocks and flying forks greeted their vital points, which was quite scary.

Not long after, the Jin Army was driven out of Jinpo Pass by Liangshan Army.

Not only that, because Gao Liang and other women were fierce enough, and because the Liangshan Army was strong enough, Cao Zheng and the others also recaptured Futu, Wulong, Ningjing and other dangerous places outside Jinpo Pass in one fell swoop, and rebuilt simple defenses... …

Although the Jin army was repelled by the Liangshan army, they did not retreat. Instead, they gathered in the small Huailai basin in the distance to rest.

At dawn the next day, the Jin Army's former army led by Wanyan Aguda, led by Wanyan Oru, also arrived at the Huailai small basin.

What a coincidence.

At this time, Wang Yan led an army of 20,000 horses to Jinpo Pass.

Slowly, more and more armies from both sides gathered.

On the morning of the third day, Wanyan Aguda, wearing armor and riding a powerful horse, looked majestic, with a large group of cavalry behind him, and arrived at the small basin in Huailai in a mighty manner.

Both sides gathered more than 100,000 troops each inside and outside Jinpo Pass.

On the eve of the bloody battle, although the two sides drew their swords and crossed their arms and the atmosphere was suffocating, the coaches of both sides pretended to be relaxed.

One day, Jiang Hongfei and Wanyan Aguda met by chance in front of the battle.

Despite the distance, both sides knew who the other was.

Wanyan Aguda sent a message to Jinpo Pass: "Jiang Yan, you and I can coexist peacefully, why do we need to fight with swords and guns?"

Wanyan Aguda still hoped that Jiang Hongfei would obediently give him the annual coins and the two families would give up.

Jiang Hongfei also sent someone to reply: "Okay, hand over Yundi Jiuzhou, and I will let you return to the country."

And Jiang Hongfei only wanted Yundi Jiuzhou, but he didn't want to give him the coins.

Wanyan Aguda didn't reply, because he wouldn't fight over such a meaningless matter. He was fighting in a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, and he believed in not being aggressive if you can do it, and he had already practiced courtesy before fighting.

The same is true for Jiang Hongfei.

Two days later, the Jin army's fierce attack began.

Amidst the heartbreaking shouts, the Jin army swarmed in, braving the rain of cannons, rocks and arrows from the Liangshan army, and launched one attack after another at several dangerous places outside Jinpo Pass.

Jiang Hongfei did not personally direct the battle, but asked Cao Zheng, Zhao Li, Wang Yan, Wu Lin, Zhang Xian and other generals to defend in sections, while Liu Huiniang and Zhu Wu commanded the battle.

After more than thirty bloody battles between the two sides, the camp guarded by Dong Kai of the Liangshan Army was breached by the Jin Army. Dong Kai and his soldiers abandoned the formation and fled.

Zhao Li arrived quickly and beheaded Dong Kai with a sword, halting the retreat.

Wu Lin then arrived with his troops, organized a counterattack, and recaptured Dong Kai's camp.

Wu Lin shouted to the soldiers: "The Jin people are out in force. This is our opportunity to kill the enemy and serve the country!"

Wu Lin pulled out his saber, drew a line under his feet, pointed the tip of the knife at the line on the ground and announced: "If you want to die, die in front of the line! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

The Liangshan army fought desperately and stabilized their position.

The Jin army launched another attack, deploying a reserve force of nearly 10,000 people to attack the left side of Zhu Wu's camp.

Wang Yan immediately mobilized troops to support and defeated the Jin army.

A moment later, the furious Jin army launched another attack. Regardless of casualties, they rushed to the bottom of the city wall in dense formation, set up ladders, and forced their way up the city wall.

Liu Huiniang was confident, so she ordered Zhang Xian to lead the swordsmen and gunners to suddenly open the door and leave the city to kill the Jin army. The Jin army only focused on climbing the city, but did not expect that the Liangshan army would launch a counterattack. In panic, they were defeated and fled.

The dusk was heavy and it was getting late, but the Jin army was still attacking crazily.

The Jin army took advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry and changed the tactics of hard attack on the front. It was divided into two formations, east and west. Wanyan Xie also commanded the east formation and Wanyan Oru commanded the west formation. They used the cavalry to gallop and constantly changed the east and west formations. The troops are deployed according to the situation, and sometimes they concentrate their forces to attack the east, sometimes they concentrate their forces to attack the west, and sometimes they divide their forces from east to west to attack at the same time. The changes in the tactical rhythm caused Liangshan's army to run back and forth, sometimes aiding the east, sometimes aiding the west, and were very tired.

Using such tactics, the Jin army once captured Futu.

But taking advantage of the night, Zhang Xian still took the pagoda back.

The Liangshan Army and the Jin Army launched a cruel and fierce tug-of-war here at Jinpo Pass...
