One Piece of Song Dynasty

Liu Fa shook his head and said: "No, I don't need you to defend Jinzhou. You can stay for a few days to show off and then withdraw from Jinzhou. And when you withdraw, you must look like you are defeated. Withdraw to the south of Jinzhou and find a place to hide. .”

Wu Jie asked: "What does Liu Shuai mean?"

Liu Fa said: "I want to give the Jin people a big one at Raofengguan. Wu Jie, your focus in this battle is to defend Raofengguan. Leave the monk's place to your brother. I will also replace him in Xingzhou." Look here, we currently have troops in the West Governor's Mansion, and we have sent troops to garrison Raofeng Pass. The original Tiger Crouching Cannons have been allocated to the Raofeng Pass garrison. Wu Jie, I will give you another sharp weapon to help you guard the pass."

Wu Jie asked: "What weapon is there to defend the city?"

Liu Fa replied: "There is a new type of catapult. The prince calls it the Thunder Cart. It is much better than the catapult originally used by our army. When the time comes, a certain organization will send craftsmen with the army to build this kind of catapult for you. Wu Jie, yours The mission is to defend Raofeng Pass, which consumes a lot of enemy personnel and morale. When you arrive at Raofeng Pass, you must pay attention to the terrain, especially some dangerous trails. Don't let the Jin army sneak attack behind you. You also have to let Liu Ziyu do it in Xingyuan Mansion. Ready to support you at any time."

Wu Jie cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Liu Shuai, the final general has received the order."

Liu Fa turned to Wang Yan and said: "Wang Yan, I will give you the cavalry troops of Zhai Jin and the tiger crouching cannons just sent by the prince. You must always pay attention to the battle situation at Raofengguan and wait until the Jin army attacks Rao." When Fengguan encounters resistance and morale drops, you should lead the army to attack Jinzhou at night. Remember, it is a night attack, cut off the enemy's retreat, and then attack the enemy from the rear."

Wang Yan cupped his fists and said, "Yes, I finally understand."

During the Spring Festival of the seventh year of Jianyan, the weather was hazy. Li Xin was leading hundreds of officials to the north to worship the two emperors and sacrifice to twenty-five gods at the same time.

While everyone was worshiping, Xiao Shunzi hurried over, bypassed everyone, and handed the memorial to Li Xin. This unusual move attracted the attention of Zhao Ding, Lu Yihao, and Zhang Jun. They all looked worriedly at Li Xin who was reading the memorial.

The memorial was written by Wu Jie. The memorial said that the Jin army advancing from the west to the east suddenly killed a carbine, intending to go south to attack Shu. However, they did not go to attack Monk Yuan but went directly to attack Jinzhou. It seems that the battle of Raofengguan is going to take place. The fight started. Li Xin suddenly remembered that Li Heng had captured Yingchang and Ye County of Ruzhou the day before yesterday. He was sending a message to all the armies that he wanted to regain Tokyo, so he could use it to contain the Jin army. This was a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.

Thinking of this, Li Xin immediately ordered: "Li Heng bravely moved forward and was promoted to the position of envoy to the west of Beijing. He led Dong Xian, the envoy to Shangguo Town, and Li Dao, the envoy to Dengzhou and Suizhou. Immediately send troops to drive directly to Tokyo, or Go straight to Chang'an and attack the Jin army with the Xuanfu Division."

As soon as the ceremony ended, Zhang Jun immediately said: "Xiangyang is located on the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and is actually the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi. It is very appropriate for Li Heng to guard Xiangyang. He should have been given money and food to make sure that he does not have other intentions or small profits. A gentle move is a long-lasting strategy. Now that Li Heng has sent troops to the Central Plains, the harm will be indescribable. Not only will the Central Plains be defeated, but Xiangyang will also be lost. This not only violates the defensive strategy, but the world will probably be in chaos as a result. "

Li Xin smiled and said: "Deyuan is too worried. Li Heng's defeat was also expected by me. Don't forget that behind Li Heng is Yue Fei. I have already sent a secret order to Yue Fei. If Li Heng is defeated, Yue Fei will be defeated." The troops can rush to take over Xiangyang and return Xiangyang and other places under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in one fell swoop."

Zhang Jun was shocked and said: "Your Majesty wants to use the Jin Army to weaken Li Heng's power."

Li Xin explained: "Li Heng was originally dissatisfied with the jurisdiction of the imperial court and had attacked his colleagues many times before. Since Deyuan knew that Xiangyang was an important military town and that Li Heng's subordinates were all rabble-rousers, how could Xiangyang be handed over to such a person? Guard, this is a good time to take back Xiangyang and deal with Li Heng."

In the first month of the seventh year of Jianyan, the Jin army raided Jinzhou, Shaanxi. Wang Yan led his army to resist for a few days and then hurriedly withdrew from Jinzhou. After the Jin army occupied Jinzhou, some troops were left to guard Jinzhou, with Wanyan as the main force. Sa Lihe led the troops to the west towards Raofengguan.

After Liu Fa learned that the Jin army had not attacked Monk Yuan, he asked Guo Hao to lead an army of to reinforce Raofengguan. On the fifth day of February, under the command of Wanyan Sali, the Jin army put on heavy armor and climbed the mountain to attack the pass.

Wu Jie used a telescope to look at the Jin soldiers moving like ants in the pass and ordered: "When Yang Zheng waited for the Jin army to be two hundred steps away from Guancheng, he ordered a hundred Tigers to squat and follow the fifty Thunders behind the pass. The car will fire first, and when the enemy gets closer, he will order the crossbowmen to fire. I will let the Jin army meet here and cause bloodshed."

Yang Zheng clasped his fists and said, "Yes, the general has received his order."

When the Jin army was two hundred steps closer to Raofengguan, following Wu Jie's order, the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Thunder Cart opened fire at the same time. For a moment, the shells and rocks fell with a bang, bang, bang, and a bang, and the golden soldiers were instantly scattered. After being beaten into a pulp, the tragic battle of Raofengguan began.

Wu Jie led an army of more than people. Taking advantage of the dangerous terrain, he used strong bows, crossbows, artillery, and catapults to fire. He tenaciously held on for six days and nights. The Jin army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to close the gate.

Perhaps because the frontal battle was too fierce, Wu Jie's attention was focused on Raofeng Pass, and the defense of the surrounding areas was reduced. This gave the Jin people an opportunity. On February , the Jin army learned about it by threatening nearby villagers. A dangerous road can bypass Raofeng Pass and go straight to Cicada Ridge behind the pass. Cicada Ridge is higher than Raofeng Pass. If you occupy Cicada Ridge, you can attack Raofeng Pass from a high position. So the Jin Army sent a team of elite soldiers to follow the dangerous road. Go, just when the Jin army had just bypassed Raofeng Pass and was about to launch a sneak attack on Chanxi Ridge, an army of led by Guo Hao just arrived. Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Hao immediately led his army to attack the Jin army.

After a fierce battle, the Jin army was finally beaten back and the gap in Cicada Ridge was blocked. The battle behind the pass certainly attracted Wu Jie's attention. Afterwards, Wu Jie heard that cold sweat broke out on his back. If this made the Jin army Attacking Raofengguan from the rear condescendingly, then Raofengguan can be abandoned. The loss of Raofengguan means that Xingyuan Mansion cannot hold it, and the Jin army can enter Hanzhong.

Wu Jie thought of this and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Guo, for the timely arrival of these ten thousand people. Otherwise, I would have made a big mistake. Before I left, Liu Shuai specifically told me to pay attention to some minor roads. I was careless."

Guo Hao waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be like this, deputy governor. This is what the general should do. The deputy governor led his army to fight the Jin army for six days in Raofengguan. It is a reward for his hard work. How is the war at Raofengguan now?"

Wu Jie replied: "I don't know the casualties of the Jin army, but I guess there should be tens of thousands of people. Our army has suffered more than casualties. The Tiger Crouching Artillery ammunition has been used up long ago. The fifty Thunder Vehicles behind the pass are It has been a great achievement. It can shoot far and there is no shortage of stones. I estimate that the number of Jin soldiers who died under the Thunder Chariot must be ten thousand. There is also no shortage of military rations. Brother Guo has brought some Tiger Crouching Cannon ammunition this time."
