Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

In May of the second year of Duanping, Wang Shixian led Gong Chang's army to arrive outside Yangping Pass.

Seeing the Mongolian army approaching, the guards and soldiers who closed the gate were visibly flustered.

Wang Shixian did not immediately order the siege of the city. He asked the soldiers to build a tall watchtower, then climbed to the top of the watchtower, looked at the scene in Yangping Pass, and found that there were obviously not many soldiers in the pass, and at most it would not exceed 5000.

Can't help but decide in my heart.

After going down the watchtower, Wang Shixian called his seven sons to his side, and said in a deep voice,

"This time, my Wang family should have made great achievements. Since I surrendered to Okuotai Khan, although I was appointed Marshal of Gongchangdu, I have not actually been recognized by the Great Khan.

In this southern expedition, all the armies did not go well.

If we can capture Yangping Pass and open the door to Shu, it will be a great achievement.

Just now I have looked at the defenders in the pass, and there are only four to five thousand people at most.As long as we don't count sacrifices, we can definitely win in one fell swoop. "

The eldest son Wang Zhongchen looked at the steep Yangping Pass, laughed loudly and said,

"This time Cao You heard the truth and tried to defend the five states without losing an inch of ground, but he didn't expect that we would give him a black tiger heart!"

The third son Wang Zhichen also laughed and said,

"I heard that Cao Youwen is proficient in strategy, but seeing him now, it's nothing more than that."

Jiang Shixian smiled complacently, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Cao Youwen is useless no matter how much he can fight. How much territory does the weak Song Dynasty occupy? Our Mongolian Empire has a territory of thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. How small is it?" Weak Song can be compared?"

The most irritable sixth son, Wang Zuochen, said eagerly,

"Since the guards are empty, let's start attacking now. In case the Song soldiers come back from the front line, we will be dumped."

Wang Shixian put away the smile on his face, and said sternly, "Zuo Chen is right. Cao Youwen used troops vigorously and resolutely, so don't be careless. We will break through Yangping Pass within three days."

With the earth-shattering sound of the golden drum, thousands of Gongchang soldiers rushed to Yangping Pass with their ladders, carts and swords and shields in their hands, shouting loudly.

Li Shun and Wang Cormorant stood at the head of the city, commanding the guards to release bows and crossbows to beat stones, preventing Gong Chang's army from approaching.

Because it was the first time to command the defense of the city alone, both of them seemed to be in a hurry and failed to make the most effective use of the defense tools arranged at the top of the city.

Two hours after the start of the battle, Gong Chang's army, who spared no casualties, rushed to the city under the rain of arrows, and built a ladder to the top of the city.

Li Shun and Wang Cormorant, armed with broadswords and leading more than a thousand strong men, fought hand-to-hand with Gong Chang's army climbing up the city.

Both Li Shun and Wang Cormorant were fierce generals known for their bravery in battle.

In addition, they knew that even if they died in battle, they would be resurrected in the early Song Dynasty, so they had no scruples in fighting.

The two fierce generals, armed with long knives, rushed left and right at Yangping Pass, killing the fierce soldiers of Gongchang's army to retreat steadily, and they couldn't stand on the top of the city at all.

Standing under the city, Wang Shixian saw that Li Shun and Wang Cormorant looked like two lunatics, he couldn't help sighing in a low voice,

"One raging soldier, one raging general! Cao Youwen has always been fearless in battle, so the generals under his command are also brave. If you want to win this Yangping pass, you must kill these two fierce generals first."

The fourth son Wang Liangchen and the sixth son Wang Zuochen immediately took the initiative to invite Ying,
"Father, please let us kill Yangping Pass and kill these two fierce generals."

Wang Shixian's seven sons are all brave, and the most powerful are Wang Liangchen and Wang Zuochen.

Wang Shixian himself is also a fierce general. He evaluated the abilities of Li Shun and Wang Cormorant, and he nodded immediately when he thought that they were not his son's opponents.

Putting on heavy armor and holding long knives, Wang Liangchen and Wang Zuochen led more than a hundred of their own soldiers to rush to the bottom of the city at a whirlwind speed, and killed them on the top of the city by stepping on the ladder.

"Song General Hugh! Let me, Wang Liangchen, kill you!"

Wang Liangchen brandished the nine-ring sword and took the initiative to find Li Shun.

Jiang Zuochen resisted Wang Cormorant.

Li Shun didn't talk nonsense with Wang Liangchen. With a swing of his sword, he chopped down three Gongchang soldiers first, then raised his long sword high, and a force came to chop Huashan, trying to split Wang Liangchen in half.

Wang Liangchen snorted coldly, brandished his broadsword, and blocked Li Shun's all-out blow.

Taking advantage of the gap between Li Shun's knife and another cut, Wang Liangchen slashed his sword horizontally, aiming at Li Shun's neck with the shining blade.

Li Shun waved his knife to fight.

Wang Liangchen missed a hit, no matter how fast he swung his knife.

Wang Liangchen's strength was not as strong as Li Shun's, but the speed of his sword was a little faster than Li Shun's. After a few moves, Li Shun was only able to parry and had no power to fight back.

On the other side, Wang Cormorant was also suppressed by Wang Zuochen.

After all, the Wang family is a family of generals, and the males began to practice killing skills as soon as they learned to walk. Li Shun and Wang Cormorant were both born in farming families. .

Fortunately, Li Shun and Wang Cormorant had learned some skills from Cao Youwen and Cao Youwan during this time, otherwise he would have been beheaded by the Wang brothers long ago.

As soon as King Li Shun's cormorant was suppressed, the morale of the besieging Gongchang army suddenly increased, and they scrambled to the top of the city.

Li Shun was in a hurry.

What Cao Youwen set up this time was a trick to lure the king into the urn.

He deliberately left only [-] soldiers at Yangping Pass, just to make Wang Shixian think that his troops are limited and he will attack the city with all his strength without hesitation.

In order to make Wang Shixian let down his vigilance, Cao Youwen and his younger brother Cao Youwan did not show up at Yangping Pass, leaving only Li Shun and Wang Cormorant.

Cao Youwen told Li Shun that he only needed to hold out at Yangping Pass for three days, and when the roundabout soldiers completely blocked Wang Shixian's retreat, he could wipe out the tens of thousands of Gongchang's troops.

Li Shun originally thought it would be easy to defend the city for three days with the pass, but who knew that within three hours of the battle, Gong Chang's army had killed Yangping Pass.

If Yangping pass is lost, all Cao Youwen's arrangements will be in vain.

Thinking of the serious consequences of the loss of Yangping Pass, Li Shun roared,
"Dog thief! I will fight with you!"

Wang Liangchen didn't care about Li Shun's fury at all.

To him, it was just the impotent rage of the loser.

The long knife cut horizontally, and continued to cut at Li Shun's neck.

Li Shun didn't stop or fight, the big knife slashed at Wang Liangchen's dog's head with the sound of piercing wind.

If Wang Liangchen didn't withdraw his knife, he could of course hack Li Shun to death, and Li Shun was also 90.00% sure to hack him to death.

Of course Wang Liangchen, who had the chance to win, did not want to die with Li Shun.

He withdrew his knife again to block.

Seeing the opportunity, Li Shun suddenly dropped his sword and rushed to Wang Liangchen.

Wang Liangchen was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Li Shun wanted to fight him hand to hand, and immediately sneered,

"You can't beat me with bare hands, ah...!"

Before Wang Liangchen could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out an earth-shattering howl.

It turned out that Li Shun rushed in front of him and directly resorted to the trick of monkey stealing peaches. With his right hand, he grabbed Wang Liangchen's crotch and squeezed hard, crushing Wang Liangchen's two quail eggs.

No matter how tough a man is, he can't stand the pain of the egg.

Of course Wang Liangchen is no exception.

He was so painful that his facial features were deformed, and the howling in his mouth became more and more tragic.

The nine-ring sword in his hand fell to the ground in pain.
