Royal Gold Magistrate

The mighty army of the Kingdom of Jin has crossed the defense line of Liuhe Pass and headed straight for Chenggao Pass.

If there is a trade between the two countries, if there is a large amount of goods to be traded with officials and businessmen, there is still a chance to go to Liuhe Pass.

Therefore, it is much more convenient to pre-buy manpower in advance, and under the combination of inside and outside, Liuhe Pass will collapse in one blow.

After another pass, the capital could be directly threatened.

Right now, the army has reached Chenggao Pass.

The speed of the cavalry is extremely fast, and with their excellent horses, it can be said that they are coming at night.

However, if this is the case, the rapid march along the way is also exhausted.

This is a dangerous hurdle, it is best to attack it in one go, the current situation is not suitable for combat.

Wutu immediately ordered the whole army to set up camp on the spot.

Looking at the Xiongguan in front of him, Wutu's heart was surging.

Although the Kingdom of Jin has countless cattle and sheep, life is still suffering.

The family wealth is millions, and the hairy ones are not counted, and the ability to resist risks is too poor.

Moreover, many bulk goods, such as salt, utensils, tea and other daily necessities, are urgently needed by them.

The businessmen in Jingguo are treacherous and monopolize resources. It was really difficult to do this business in the past.

But as long as the current barrier is broken, this embarrassing situation should become history!

"Your Majesty, do you want to fly the hot air balloon to find out the enemy's situation?" Paba beside him asked.

Wu Tu took a look from a distance: "Well, it doesn't matter if so many people are discovered by them, this is the most difficult level. Once this level is broken, the rest will be safe."

"When will Your Majesty plan to go to war?" Paba asked again.

"Just tomorrow. The people gathered here are still above the Liuhe Pass, and they will plunder supplies and go south as soon as possible."

"It's getting colder and colder. With so many soldiers and horses, it's difficult to supply. Delaying it will only be detrimental to our army. You go down to make arrangements first. First, send people to log, collect earth and rocks, and prepare trebuchets."

......

"Report~!"

The scouts rushed into the tent of the Chinese army, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, Wutu's army is approaching the high pass of the city, and they have camped in place, and they have released hot air balloons to spy on the sky, without any cover!"

Emperor Jing looked at the huge map in front of the table, without raising his head, he waved his hands: "Go down."

"Everyone, this Wutu has broken through the Liuhe Gate. It seems that the whole army should rest now, and we will tackle the key point tomorrow or the day after. This situation is not much different from the content of the secret letter sent by Zhengyi."

"Song Wu and Guo Yang. Both of you lead [-] soldiers and horses, and rush to the high pass of the city in the starry night. You must strictly guard and consume as much as possible. You can delay as long as you can, and don't let Wutu win easily."

"We came too early, and if he wins too easily, he will inevitably be suspicious, and..."

......

After a night of recuperation, Wutu's energy had already returned to its peak state.

He got up just after dawn, and carefully looked at the sheepskin map at the table.It's just that as far as the eye can see, it's all behind Chenggao Pass.

When the news of the completion of the whole army's preparation came, Wutu didn't hesitate any longer, and slammed the table hard, with fierce eyes flashing, and uttered a word: "Attack!"

The Jin army began to attack.

As the city closed, the generals guarding the city kept observing the situation with binoculars while taking a deep breath.

The soldiers guarding the pass were not in a panic, after all, their superiors had already passed their breath.

Inform the Jin army of the invasion, be sure to strictly guard it, and at the same time send additional manpower.

The most important thing for them at the moment is not to use gunpowder, defend the high pass of the city, and consume the power of the Jin army.

Heavy cavalry is their key, but they will never appear during siege.

Only when enough other troops are consumed, will the Kingdom of Jin have a greater chance to bet on the entire cavalry army when the large forces of both sides attack head-on, and the Shenji Battalion will be able to reap more victories.

After the pass, the army and the people moved together, and countless people began to rush up the city wall.

In order to prevent the hot air balloons from the sky from invading and throwing kerosene or other items from above, the officers and soldiers have already requisitioned a lot of materials in the city.

In addition to raising hot air balloons to attack each other in the sky, tables and boards were used to convert long-legged 'tents' to set up at the top of the city.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to defend the city against attacks from the sky while facing ten times the strength of one's own side.

The officers and soldiers defending the city moved very quickly, and the enemy had built a wooden 'tunnel' on the city wall before they reached the city wall.

From a distance, it looks magnificent.

The earth was trembling, like iron hoofs roaring like mountains and tsunamis, rushing frantically towards the high pass of the city.

The huge trebuchet at the rear is also slowly moving to the proper position.

This trebuchet is temporarily assembled, and only key components are carried in the battle on weekdays, and the rest of the large frame structure can be simply built.

The trebuchet was put into use, throwing boulders far into the city.

The other party also began to line up and draw their bows and arrows.

Although there is no contact, the offensive of the two sides has already started.

A large number of heavy armored cavalry flew like lightning, and they had arrived at the moat in an instant. Regardless of the rain of arrows above their heads, they untied the ropes on the left and right sides of the horses.

With a vigorous wave of one arm, the sand and gravel bags that had been prepared a day in advance quickly sank into Hanoi, and they sprinted away by turning the horse.

First wave.. Second wave... Third wave..

Numerous cavalrymen threw countless bags of sand and stones into the moat, and the sandbags that should have sunk in the water gradually began to appear by the river.

The generals defending the city were horrified, and immediately shouted: "Stop shooting arrows! Stop shooting arrows!!"

Wutu actually has such courage!

In previous wars, infantry or cannon fodder risked their lives to fill rivers with sand, but he actually sent elites directly forward.

However, this heavy armor is also very good. The distance from the city wall to the moat is not enough to cause damage to those cavalry, and shooting any further will only waste bows and arrows.

"General! The enemy is filling up the river, we can't just watch it like this!!" The guard's guard's eyes were tearing apart. Although they had been prepared in their hearts, they were helpless in the face of such an overwhelming offensive. A burst of fear.

"Shut up! Send the order, save your strength, pay attention to avoid flying rocks, and prepare to meet the enemy! The opponent's hot air balloon has come over, go check the supplies immediately, let the firefighting team hold the dry ashes, and be ready to put out the fire at all times!" He roared, and then said: "Look at this posture, they want to take us down in one fell swoop, and we must not let them succeed easily... Bring the thunder stone, the rolling wood, and the golden juice and hot oil!"

The momentum of the Jin army continued, and Wutu sat on the horse, frowning and staring.

"It's true that I underestimated them. I didn't expect them to even have a way to deal with hot air balloons. I'm afraid this battle will be a bit difficult."

Papa on the side said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much, this has been planned in advance. Our arrival is sudden, and the opponent must be insufficiently prepared. As long as we do whatever it takes, we will definitely be able to win this pass within five days, and the opponent's weapon will be ready." It is too late to supply them, and it will be difficult for them to resist after the Thunder Stone Rolling Log is exhausted."

Siege... There is no such thing as gunpowder, it can only be filled with human life.

Wutu nodded: "Don't stop below! Pass the order down, and anyone who climbs the city wall will be promoted!"

......

(Come on, the test kit arrived today and tested and it is still sheep.)
