Chapter 370: Raid Jiayun Pass overnight, anyone who tries to find out the news should die!
"Your Majesty, our army is only 600 miles away from Yehe City, the capital of the Qingyuan Dynasty. We only need to capture Jiayun Pass and Wufeng City, and we can reach Yehe City directly!"
Su Hong stood in front of Ye Feng. He was not only the deputy general of the White Robe Army, but also an intelligence officer investigating the war situation. His presence was very noticeable.
"Have you found out about the garrisons of Jiayun Pass and Wufeng City, as well as their military strength?" Ye Feng looked at Su Hong, who was worthy of being the future heir of the Su family.
Su Hong is indeed very capable, and his basic skills in marching and fighting are indeed impressive. The Su family is proficient in both civil and military affairs, which is why Su Qingzhi was able to unleash powerful combat power with the temporarily formed White Robe Army.
"The commander of Jiayun Pass is not very strong, he is only at the peak level of the fifth-grade junior master, and the defenders are only 40,000 people. We will have a short rest and it won't be difficult to take Jiayun Pass."
"However, Wufeng City's defender Zhang Yuanliao is one of the most famous generals in the entire Qingyuan Dynasty. He has reached the peak of the eighth-grade minor master. He is also very capable in marching and fighting. If he defends Wufeng City with all his strength, it will be very difficult for us to attack the city."
Su Hong looked a little solemn. He knew in his heart that after the long march, although the whole army was in high spirits and had gathered strength, their combat effectiveness had soared.
However, the defender of Wufeng City, Zhang Yuanliao, led a large army to defend the city with ease. The city defense was strong, and it was twice as difficult for our army to attack the city.
"Order the entire army to attack Jiayun Pass!"
Ye Feng held the Emperor's Sword in his hand, and a great fighting spirit burst out from the depths of his eyes. Since the defenders of Wufeng City were very strong, it would be better to take Jiayun Pass first and then find an opportunity to attack Wufeng City. Otherwise, when the Qingyuan Dynasty came to its senses, it would definitely mobilize a large army to guard Jiayun Pass and Wufeng City, and it would be more difficult to attack at that time.
"As ordered!"
Ye Feng did not hesitate at all, and got on his horse. Then Ye Feng, he originally planned to let the army rest for a night, thinking that Jiayun Pass was adjacent to Wufeng City, if he missed the opportunity, it would be very difficult to take Jiayun Pass again. The most important thing is that after he took Jiayun Pass, he could defend it and deal with the Qingyuan Dynasty. At that time, it would be easy to decide whether to advance or retreat, and the geographical location would be much better than now.
"What on earth is the imperial court doing? They knew the enemy was about to attack Jiayun Pass, so why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" On the wall of Jiayun Pass, a middle-aged general in armor, the defender of Jiayun Pass, Wen Chou, was standing with a sword on his waist and his eyes flashing with anger. Ever since he learned that the enemy had entered the country, he had sent people to the imperial court to request reinforcements, but he didn't expect that after two days, the reinforcements had not arrived yet.
"General Wen, with our 40,000 troops at Jiayun Pass, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the enemy. I heard that the enemy is invincible, winning battle after battle, and has strong combat effectiveness."
Wen looked at the deputy general beside him, with a worried look on his face. In three consecutive days, the enemy army successively captured six cities, eighteen counties, and three counties of the Qingyuan Dynasty. It was really frightening.
"Hmph! The enemy is here to attack the city, and we are here to defend it. As long as we all work together, we will surely be able to wait for reinforcements from the court." Wen Chou snorted coldly and said firmly.
The deputy general on the other side could not help but mutter, "I heard that His Majesty is now obedient to the Prime Minister. It is said that sending troops to attack the Song Dynasty was also the Prime Minister's suggestion. The general has made many reports to the Prime Minister over the years. Li Guozhong is narrow-minded and I am afraid he will not easily send reinforcements."
The deputy generals beside him also frowned secretly. Otherwise, it was only a few hundred miles from Yehe City to Jiayun Pass. If reinforcements were sent, they would arrive in a day at most. But now there was no news, which was really frightening.
Da da da!
Wow!
Just as Wen Chu was discussing with the deputy general beside him, waves of horse hooves and footsteps came towards Jiayun Pass, and several people's faces changed drastically.
"Who is the leader of the Song Dynasty's army? Is he crazy? They have been fighting continuously for three days. Are the soldiers under his command all iron men?" A deputy general's face changed drastically. He never expected that the enemy would attack Jiayun Pass overnight. It was really unexpected.
"Judging from the sound of footsteps, the enemy is very powerful. We must quickly send a message to the entire army to resist the enemy's siege with all our strength." Wen rushed forward with his eyes wide open, his teeth clenched, and a spear in hand.
shhhhhh...
Taking advantage of the dark night, Ye Feng led the army and rushed to the outside of Jiayun Pass at the fastest speed. Dashan carried a mace and the soldiers behind him with battering rams, and they fiercely bombarded the city gate.
Bang bang!
The city gate was bombarded by maces and battering rams, making a loud noise and the entire city wall trembled. It was an earth-shaking and magnificent scene.
Li Shanxiao led the black armor cavalry, with the help of the galloping warhorse and the hook with a rope in his hand, the hook was hung on the wall. Before the enemy army could react, the black armor cavalry had already rushed to the top of the wall. Grandmaster Li Shanxiao held the hook-sickle spear and waved it continuously, killing the enemy one by one.
In about half an hour, the Jiayun Pass city gate, along with the huge wooden sticks and pins that were blocking the city gate, as well as the city gate that was infiltrated into the city wall, were all blasted into pieces and shattered on the ground.
The defenders at the city gate were shaken to the ground and died. Dashan carried a mace with bloodshot eyes. Under the cover of night, the mace carried destructive force and swept out continuously. The wind was howling, and the bodies of the soldiers were shattered one by one.
"Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly! There are monsters in the enemy army!"
Many soldiers who were originally guarding Jiayun Pass saw only a burly man with bloodshot eyes, like a ferocious beast, swinging his mace continuously, killing gods and Buddhas who stood in his way.
The surrounding soldiers were killed and covered in blood. How could they dare to rush forward to fight? They fled one after another and did not dare to resist.
Su Qingzhi led the white-robed army and immediately charged into Jiayun Pass, where they began a killing spree. Blood flowed everywhere, and it was almost a one-sided massacre.
"General Wen, retreat quickly!"
A deputy general quickly came to Wen Chu's side, furious. He claimed that he had fought in wars, but he had never seen such a brave army fighting. They were completely fearless.
The most important thing is that the opponent is not only fearless, but also very strong in combat, and can't be killed at all. The burly man who attacked the city gate, with his sturdy body and the power he burst out, doesn't look like a human at all.
shhhhhh...
Wen Chou held a spear in his hand, with spiritual energy flowing through his body. He looked towards the city wall not far away, and happened to see Li Shanxiao, who was killing people everywhere, with a ferocious face, "When did another great master general appear in the Song Dynasty? Damn it!"
"Those of us in the Qingyuan Dynasty who are responsible for gathering information about the enemy country should all die!"
Wen Chou thought of all the news, all of which were rumors that the Song Dynasty was in chaos, with princes fighting, the prime minister being arbitrary and tyrannical, and the emperor ignoring state affairs. It was a mess.
However, the many soldiers who were attacking Jiayun Pass were majestic, well-trained, and extremely powerful. They did not look like soldiers that could be trained in a chaotic dynasty at all.
