Fu Xuan was extremely annoyed by this unexpected situation, and he scolded Wu Jie for being stupid, for deploying too few soldiers in Xigu, so that the Jin soldiers caught the loophole and went directly to the city of Dasan Pass.

Standing on the tall and solid wall of the pass, Fu Xuan looked at the temporary Jinbing camp in the distance. There was always an inexplicable panic in his heart. Although there was no sign of the Jinbing attacking the city, who knew what would happen tomorrow?As soon as the siege weapons arrive, the Jin soldiers may attack the city aggressively.

"Uncle, Chen Qing's failure to stop the golden soldiers should be a serious crime, right?" Nephew Fu Moshan asked gleefully.

Fu Xuan snorted coldly, "Wu Jie is partial to him, even if he is guilty, Liu Ziyu will take the blame. Only when Dasan Pass falls, can he be held accountable."

Fu Moshan's lips moved, "Uncle, can we use a strategy, such as temporarily losing Dasan Pass, and then regaining it..."

Fu Moshan didn't dare to say any more. Fu Xuan's fierce eyes almost killed him, and he mumbled, "My child is just...just a hypothesis!"

"Hmph! I think you were blindfolded by hatred and lost the big pass. Chen Qing was fired at most, but I want to lose my head. You stupid idiot, get out of here!"

Fu Moshan was so frightened that he rolled and ran away.

Fu Xuan was upset for a while, he really didn't expect that his nephew would say such stupid words, and for the sake of a little hatred in his heart, he actually wanted to give up the big break.

He also knew that his nephew was not stupid for a day or two, but he had no choice. He had no son himself, so he always regarded Fu Moshan as his own son, and he had completely regarded him as his own son.

However, this son was as simple-minded as his father, which made Fu Xuan extremely disappointed. He always had an intuition that one day he would be killed by this idiot.

At this moment, a soldier shouted: "Why did the golden soldiers start to withdraw?"

Fu Xuan was stunned, and looked down. Sure enough, the Jin soldiers began to pack up their tents and put away their flags, and part of the army had already started to retreat westward.

Fu Xuan really wondered, if the Jin soldiers suddenly retreated westward, could it be their trick to lure the enemy?

……

Chapter 132

Just before dawn, Wanyan Alupu got the news that the left-behind army monitoring Jiwangpo was attacked by the Song army, and Mu Trili, the chief ten thousand husband, was killed in battle. This news made Wanyan Alupu very panic. He knew that he was the son of Wei Wang Wanyanwo. Although he was a concubine, he was also from the Jurchen royal family. He died in Xigu. How could he explain to the wolf lord?

At this time, Han Chang hurried over, "Dutong, I heard that something happened at Jiwangpo?"

Wanyan Alupu nodded, "I was attacked last night by the Song army. Almost the entire army was wiped out, and Muteli was also killed."

Han Chang said bitterly for a long time: "I said before that Mutli has no experience and his ability is too weak. I can't let him stand alone. I don't understand. How did he become the chief of the ten thousand?"

Wanyan Alupu sighed, "He belongs to the royal family and is the son of King Wei Wanyanwo. He is not capable enough, so the wolf lord asked him to come to the army to practice. How should I explain to the wolf lord now?"

Han Chang was taken aback, it turned out to be the son of Wan Yanwo, why had he never heard of it?

"Dutong, the Song army must have a plan to attack our remaining troops. Their targets are likely to be our logistics and transportation. I suggest that we temporarily withdraw westward and make a decision after understanding the situation."

"Do you think there will be problems in our camp?"

Han Chang nodded, "The camp is too big, and most of the tents are closed, so it is easy for the enemy to sneak in. Especially now that the wind is strong and dry, once the camp catches fire, the consequences will be disastrous. Chen Qing is good at sneak attacks and is very courageous. , Logistics is our weakness, could it be that he can't think of it?"

One sentence reminded Wanyan Alupu that Chen Qing's surprise attack on the remaining troops must be going towards the camp. He was immediately anxious, and immediately ordered: "Command the army to prepare to move westward!"

……

Jin Bing stayed at Dasan Pass for only one day and one night before he had to withdraw his troops. Chen Qing's army broke the balance in the West Valley, which might endanger the logistics and transportation of the army, and even threaten the survival of the camp. Yan Alupu didn't dare to be careless, and temporarily withdrew to Xigu.

Less than [-] miles into the West Valley, a group of messenger soldiers rushed over, bringing a series of important news to Wanyan Alupu, there was good news, but there were also bad news that broke his heart.

Liu Ziyu's army led a surprise attack on the remaining Jin soldiers and failed. Xiao Zong led his army to defeat Liu Ziyu's army, killed more than [-] enemies, occupied Wang Jianpo's Song army camp, and seized countless supplies and food.

The second news made all the generals of the Jin soldiers stunned. A Song army cavalry attacked the camp at night, and the fire burned the camp to white ground. All food and supplies disappeared, and nearly [-] soldiers died in the fire.

The thing that Wanyan Alupu feared the most still happened. Without food and camp, how could he explain to the fourth prince?Thinking of the death of Mutli, the wolf lord will not spare him.

Wanyan Alupu was terrified for a moment, and drew out his sword to kill himself, but the generals hugged his arms.

"The capital is in control, the situation has not reached the worst level, our main force is still there, and we can completely turn the tide of the battle."

Han Chang smiled wryly and said: "The humble job is also responsible. We shouldn't be too anxious to attack Dashan Pass, and underestimate the backlash of the Song army. If the fourth prince blames it, the humble job is willing to bear the main responsibility."

Wanyan Alupu pretended to commit suicide, just waiting for Han Chang's words!

He sighed a long time, "I am also responsible for this matter. If the fourth prince blames me, let's bear it together!"

Although Wanyan Alupu wished to kill Chen Qing and all the Song troops immediately, he also knew that it was not the time yet, he had to sort out all kinds of supplies and see how long he could last.

At noon, Xiao Zong led more than [-] cavalry over. He seized all the grain and supplies of Liu Ziyu's camp, including [-] large tents. Wanyan Alupu ordered the tents to be distributed to each army. , at least he and the generals don't have to sleep in camp tents anymore.

"Reporting to Dutong, the humble officer seized [-] shi of grain and [-] dans of forage, as well as countless bows and crossbows, and even [-] bed crossbows and [-] jackdaw arrows."

Wanyan Alupu praised Xiao Zong, and then asked Han Chang, "How much food do we have?"

"We brought 10,000 sheep ourselves, plus General Xiao's 3 sheep. I heard that some of them were recovered from the camp. I estimate that there are still [-]+ sheep. We still have about [-] troops. , it’s not a big problem to support it for a month.”

Wanyan Alupu sighed and said, "But we don't have any siege weapons, so it might not be so easy to attack the Song army's camp."

Han Chang thought for a while and said: "After all, the Song army only has a few thousand people. Even if we don't have siege weapons, we can still attack. The key siege weapons are used to deal with Dasan Pass. We have to report this matter to the fourth prince as soon as possible! "

Yan Alupu nodded silently, it seemed that he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

"Order all the troops to march to Jiwangpo immediately!"

……

In the Jiwangpo camp, Chen Qing had already received the news that the main force of the Jin soldiers had withdrawn from Dasan Pass, and his plan succeeded, forcing the Jin soldiers to retreat back to the West Valley.

But Jiwangpo is in danger.

Chen Qing immediately wrote a letter to Wu Jie, telling him the current situation, and suggested that he immediately withdraw from Dasan Pass, so that he could buy him some time.

Chen Qing immediately called Zhao Xiaoyi up and handed him the letter.

"Take a few brothers and ride to Heshangyuan immediately, hand this letter to Wu Dutong, and tell him that I will try my best to buy him ten days."

Zhao Xiaoyi received the letter, "Let's go now, humble job!"

Chen Qing pointed to the distance and said: "You will definitely encounter the main force of the golden soldiers if you walk like this. Go to the southernmost point first, and then walk along the forest, so that you can avoid the golden soldiers."

"I understand, I must hand over the letter to Wu Dutong!"

Zhao Xiaoyi led two men on horseback and rushed down the hillside towards Xiaohe.

Watching the three figures of Zhao Xiaoyi disappear into the woods on the other side of the river, Chen Qing put down his heart and continued to step up his battle preparations.

After the merger of the two armies, Chen Qing now has a total force of more than 3 people, and the food can last for a month, while the Jin soldiers are estimated to have [-] people, which is six times his own. The soldiers did not have siege weapons, and Chen Qing still had confidence in defending the city for ten days.

He deployed [-] soldiers on the slab walls on both sides of the ramp. These two sections of slab walls are very thick, five to six feet wide, not only can people walk away, but also can install heavy weapons such as bed crossbows on them.

Soldiers occupy a high place, so they can shoot the enemy with arrows from a condescending position. Chen Qing ordered the soldiers to build fifty simple trebuchets as backup.

The gate of the camp was heightened and the mudbag wall was widened. Five hundred god arm crossbow troops were still deployed, they were the main force, and thirty restored trebuchets were deployed at the same time.

A thousand archers were deployed behind the trebuchet, 500 of whom used large shields for defense, and the other 500 used defensive bows and arrows to shoot. In this way, two thousand arrows can be guaranteed to shoot at the enemy on the ramp.

At this time, a soldier ran over and said, "Liu Dutong, please go over there."

"I see, let's go!"

Chen Qing urged his horse to run towards the wounded soldiers camp. The wounded soldiers were located next to the warehouse camp, which consisted of [-] wooden houses. Currently, there were [-] wounded soldiers and two military doctors in the wounded soldiers camp, and [-] logistics soldiers were responsible for taking care of the wounded soldiers.

Chen Qing walked into one of the cabins, and Liu Ziyu was lying in the room recovering from his injuries. His condition was very bad. The venom had invaded his internal organs, his collarbone was broken, and his tendons were injured.

It could be seen that Liu Ziyu's complexion was not good, his son Liu Cui was taking care of his father, and when he saw Chen Qing coming in, he quickly moved a chair.

Liu Ziyu asked with a low breath, "Have you notified Wu Dutong?"

Chen Qing nodded, "I just sent someone to Monk Yuan, suggesting that Wu Dutong withdraw his troops and return to Dasan Pass immediately."

Liu Ziyu's train of thought was exactly the same as that of Chen Qing, he sighed, "I'm afraid your burden is heavy, how long can you last?"

"I told Wu Dutong that I will buy him ten days!"

"is it okay?"

"I can only say that I try my best, and I am not sure."

Liu Ziyu held Chen Qing's hand and said, "I don't need to teach you how to defend. You are better than me. In terms of mobilizing morale, I am not as good as you. Just go ahead and do it!"

Liu Ziyu's words were regarded as a formal statement that he handed over the command and military power to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was moved, and clasped his fists together and said, "Thank you for trusting Dutong, Chen Qing will definitely not let Dutong down."

Liu Ziyu smiled, and said to his son: "I have soldiers to take care of me, so I don't need you to take care of it. From now on, you will follow Commander Chen to fight against the gold captives and defend the country!"

"My son obeys!"

Liu Ziyu looked at Chen Qing expectantly again and said, "From today on, he will be your subordinate, I believe he will not let you down!"

Chen Qing nodded silently. He didn't know what their fate would be in ten days.

Chapter 133 Another Battle

Wanyan Alupu set up camp on the other side of the river, and they built five pontoon bridges on the river overnight. Just after dawn, the earth-shattering sound of war drums pierced the sky.

"All brothers in place! Crossbowmen in place!"

Zheng Ping ran and shouted: "Cheer up and prepare to go all out, the enemy didn't try to attack!"

It is the judgment of the general Guo Song that there is no probing attack. The enemy has already tested enough in the first two days.

Chen Qing's judgment was not wrong, Wanyan Alupu formed an army of [-], composed of [-] Khitan soldiers and [-] Jurchen soldiers, and they formed ten army formations on the south bank of the small river.

As before, the commander Chen Qing's command point is still placed on the east panel wall, where he can see the situation on the battlefield more directly.

Chen Qing stood on the high wall, watching the golden soldiers at the foot of the hill. There were [-] cavalry among the [-] golden soldiers. It was estimated that the plan was the same as the previous two days, to attack the camp gate at the last moment.

Liu Cui whispered from the side: "In May of this year, my father suggested building a pass at Wang Jianpo's place!"

This is also the doubt in Chen Qing's heart. The width of the canyon on Wang Jianpo's side is only five miles, and it can be extended completely. A high wall pass was built to block the way of Jin Bing.

If it were built, their situation would not be as passive as it is today.

"Then why not fix it?"

"I heard from my father that everyone is in favor of the construction, but Qu Sima is the only one who firmly opposes it, saying that he does not have so much financial resources, and the Xuanfu envoy has been hesitant. It has been delayed until August. The Xuanfu envoy finally decided to build it, but it was too late. .”

Chen Qing let out a long sigh, "There is money to build the tiles, but there is no money to build the pass. The civil servants are harming the country!"

"My father scolded Sima Qu in the same way."

At this moment, the fierce battle drum sounded under the hillside.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The battle was about to start, Chen Qing patted Liu Cui on the shoulder, "Go!"

Liu Cui bowed and saluted, then turned around and went down the high wall along the steps. Chen Qing looked sharply at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the crossbowmen were ready. Today's attack was organized and carried out by Deputy General Han Changlai, and Wanyan Alupu handed over the command of the [-] troops to him.

"The crossbowman is in place!"

Han Chang gave an order, and three thousand Jurchen crossbowmen ran towards the slope. They stopped a hundred steps away from the slope and shot arrows at the camp gate above.

Three thousand arrows soared into the sky and shot towards the gate of the camp like a storm. The Song army at the camp gate was a five hundred crossbow army. Overhead 'whoosh!Whoosh! 'Shooted, the dense arrows filled the mudbag wall.

The rain of arrows stopped, and the five hundred Song soldiers immediately stood up and raised their crossbows to shoot at the enemy. Five hundred powerful crossbow arrows roared in, and the gold soldiers in the first row were hit by arrows one after another, and fell to the ground screaming. .

The second and third rounds of arrows from the Jurchen crossbowmen shot overwhelmingly, and the dense arrows covered the sky like dark clouds.

'Woo—'

A low-pitched horn blew from the hillside, and a thousand Khitan soldiers rushed towards the hillside like a tide. They carried large wooden boards, like soldiers attacking a city.

Chen Qingling said: "Get ready to shoot!"

Behind him, the flag bearer waved the triangular yellow flag. In the barracks, five hundred soldier arrows pointed at the sky at a [-]-degree angle. The tips of the arrows shone with a blue cold light, revealing a faint murderous aura.

On the board walls on both sides of the barracks, a thousand crossbowmen armed with crossbows aimed at the ramp from both sides.

The five-hundred-armed crossbowman at the gate of the barracks even switched tactics, changing it to a five-stage shot that had been specially trained for a month, and dealt a fatal blow to the enemy at the last moment.

Chen Qing and the opposing general knew very well that these thousand soldiers were actually just a foreshadowing, and the real attack was in the second or even third army.

A thousand soldiers had rushed up the hillside, and like a rolling tide, they quickly approached the gate of the camp, and they entered the shooting range.

"Shoot!" Chen Qing gave the order.

The flag bearer waved the red flag, and [-] soldiers' arrows soared into the sky, forming a sparse cloud of arrows, and flew towards the top of the enemy's head. A thousand arrows from the board walls on both sides also shot out powerfully, shooting into the dense crowd from both sides. among.

Fifteen hundred arrows shot into the crowd of soldiers who were running, screaming loudly, and one by one soldiers fell down while running.

Immediately after the second round of [-] arrows came, the poor first batch of Khitan soldiers had no shields and only leather armor, so they had no way to defend themselves.

More than half of the casualties were caused by just two rounds of arrows. At this moment, a hundred god-armed crossbow arrows roared towards them. The arrows were even stronger, and more than [-] soldiers in the first row were hit by the arrows and fell down.
