Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 485 Juyong Pass

The sky was already extremely dark, until this time, Zhao Chen and other talents came to Juyongguan!

Qu Duan, Kang An and other important generals of the staff headquarters followed Zhao Chen! Zhao Chen is driving his own expedition, and they will go to the northern battlefield with Zhao Chen! Many elite personnel in the General Staff Headquarters will also follow Zhao Chen to the north. Of course, there are still a large number of personnel staying in Yanjing City to coordinate the various military regions to fight together!

At this moment, under the city of Juyongguan, more than 100,000 soldiers are waiting for Zhao Chen to arrive!

The moment Zhao Chen appeared, there was a roar of mountains and tsunami in the army!

Li Xianzhong, Li Yanxian and other important generals from Juyongguan had already come out to welcome them, and they got off their horses and knelt down on the ground.

"The last general is waiting to see your majesty, long live your majesty!" Li Xianzhong said excitedly.

"Get up quickly! We are in Juyongguan now, so I won't say anything about you. If you are on the battlefield, you will kneel down when you see me. If the enemy comes, what should you do?" Zhao Chen said.

There was a lot of laughter around!

"Let the soldiers die!" Zhao Chen shouted.

The surrounding soldiers stood up one after another.

More than 100,000 troops stood neatly under the city of Juyongguan, and there were torches everywhere, illuminating the place with light, and countless soldiers looked in the direction where Zhao Chen was.

"It's already so late, it's almost midnight, the soldiers should be allowed to rest instead of coming to greet me." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we have already received the news of your oath to conquer gold, and we know that you are coming to Juyongguan! The soldiers are looking forward to your coming every day, so we are here to welcome you! Moreover, it has not been long since the soldiers have just finished training! In the past They are also resting at this time! The battle is about to begin, and the soldiers are training especially hard during this period!" Li Xianzhong said.

"Your Yanyun military region has a total of 170,000 troops, are you ready for battle now?" Zhao Chen asked.

The Yanyun Military Region originally had 150,000 troops, but this year, 20,000 youths from the Production and Construction Corps joined the Yanyun Military Region, so the number of soldiers and horses here has reached 170,000.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, we only owe the east wind!" Li Xianzhong said.

"Don't let me down on the battlefield!" Zhao Chen said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will never let you down! Each of us will go forward bravely, risk our lives, and complete the important task of destroying gold at all costs!" Li Xianzhong said.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he walked forward. Wherever he passed, all the soldiers looked at him with excited and enthusiastic eyes.

Every soldier here has undergone arduous training. They stand there upright, and some of their clothes are already wet with sweat! The autumn night has become cold, but everyone is standing there motionless!

"How old are you?" Zhao Chen came up to a soldier and asked involuntarily when he saw the soldier's immature face.

"Your Majesty, I am sixteen years old!" the soldier hurriedly said.

"Sixteen years old, still very young! Are you afraid?" Zhao Chen said.

"Don't be afraid!" the soldier said firmly.

"On the battlefield, you are very likely to be killed by the Jurchens. From now on, you will never see your parents or relatives again. Are you not afraid?" Zhao Chen said.

"Don't be afraid! Let's join the army, fight for our country, and die without regret!" the soldier said.

"Very good, everyone in the entire army must have such a belief in sacrifice! Only by passing on from generation to generation can our Great Song become stronger and stronger, and our Great Song will not be bullied! Any soldier, if he is on the battlefield After he dies, the country will take care of his parents and relatives, and the country will also engrave his name in the Martyrs' Shrine, and the era will be admired by future generations! Everyone who can go to the battlefield is a hero!" Zhao Chen said.

The sixteen-year-old soldier stood there, trembling with excitement. Zhao Chen patted him on the shoulder before moving on.

From one team to another, he kept talking to and encouraging the soldiers.

After walking for a while, he found that all of the team here were crossbowmen!

All the soldiers held crossbows in their hands, but this crossbow was different from the divine arm bow, and also slightly different from the Qin crossbow! This crossbow seems to be a size smaller than the god arm bow and Qin crossbow, and it looks much lighter! In addition to crossbows, they all wear swords around their waists, and they can fight with swords when necessary!

"Your Majesty, after we obtained the Qin Crossbow from the Zhongnan Mountain area, we imitated a large number of them, but the Qin Crossbow was too big to be carried around. Later, the craftsmen in Guanshan, Sichuan and Shu improved the Qin Crossbow and combined it with the magic arm bow. Advantages, a new crossbow has been produced. The name of this crossbow is Song Nu! Compared with the Qin Crossbow and God Arm Bow, the advantage of this Song Crossbow is obvious. Its manufacturing process is relatively simple and can be produced in large quantities. Although its range is not as good as The Divine Arm Bow, but it is no longer under the Qin Crossbow, and the power it uses is much smaller!" Qu Duan said aside.

"I want to try it!" Zhao Chen took the "Song Crossbow" from a soldier. He pulled the Song Crossbow away and found that the force used was indeed much smaller! He put on the crossbow and shot towards the distance, only heard a sharp sound, the crossbow hit the target in the distance, hit the red heart, and the surrounding soldiers cheered.

"Sure enough, the range is two hundred steps!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Yanyun Military Region is now fully equipped with Song crossbows! The Yanyun Military Region has 170,000 soldiers and horses, including 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, and the remaining 70,000 are all bowmen! With strong bows and powerful crossbows, With an army of 70,000, we can confront the northern nomadic cavalry head-on!" Li Xianzhong said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Zhao Chen returned the Song Crossbow in his hand to the soldier in front of him. The soldier took the Song Crossbow, thinking that his weapon had just been used by the emperor, he was very excited, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I will definitely hold it. This Song crossbow shoots and kills the Jurchen, making great achievements!"

"Are you confident about this battle?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Yes!" The soldier said loudly.

"I also have confidence! The whole country of our Great Song Dynasty is united as one, and our millions of troops are united. Once they enter the north, it will be the day of the Jurchen's extinction! No matter how strong the Jurchen is, they will definitely not be the opponent of our millions of elites in the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" the soldier shouted again.

Zhao Chen couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

In such a late night, he walked through the army, inspected the soldiers, and kept talking to the soldiers, and sometimes he talked to all the soldiers of a company or a battalion. After an hour, he finally Walked out from all the teams, and the army dispersed to rest. It's just that the soldiers were excited, and they might not be able to sleep peacefully that night.

Zhao Chen, Li Xianzhong, Qu Duan, Kang An and others had entered Juyongguan at this moment, and came to the city wall of Juyongguan.

"Li Xianzhong, you already know the battle plan?" Zhao Chen said.

"The general has been in constant communication with the staff headquarters a few months ago, so naturally he already knew the battle plan." Li Xianzhong said.

"A large army must fight like an iron fist! We must concentrate all our strength on the fist and strike hard, making the enemy irresistible and irresistible, knocking the enemy to the ground at once! You go all the way north The most important thing to be careful of is Yuzhou Guo Yaoshi's 100,000 resentful troops! On the battlefield, you have to cooperate closely with Liu Kai's Liaodong Military Region. The two major military regions surrounded Yuzhou with lightning speed, like five fingers on a fist. It’s like closing suddenly, you must never let the resentful army escape from your hands!” Zhao Chen said.

"The general will understand!" Li Xianzhong said.

"I'm just talking on paper, and what to do specifically depends on you." Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty is proficient in the art of war, and the training methods in the army now come from His Majesty! What His Majesty just said is also the key to the art of war, and it is definitely not just on paper!" Li Xianzhong said.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly.

He started from Hanzhong, fought endlessly for many years, and only then was he able to restore the country! Although he didn't really command the army himself, he was with the army many times, and was with countless famous generals such as Yue Fei. After hearing and seeing, he naturally understood the art of war! Of course, if he were to command the army alone, he would definitely not be as good as famous generals like Yue Fei and Li Xianzhong!

"The three armies of the Imperial Court, the West Route Army has to detour around Mayu Mountain. The road is the most difficult and it will take the longest time, so the West Route Army must go first! I will go to Datong, and go north with Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others! The Central Route Army will be handed over to you. I hope that by the end of September, we can join forces in Zhongjing! If you and Liu Kai fail to make it to Zhongjing, I will go deep alone. At that time, my safety will be unpredictable! One body is tied to the army!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, we will definitely join forces with you, Your Majesty!" Li Xianzhong said.

"For the future of my Great Song Dynasty, we should work together. Everyone in the army must not slack off! Including me, there must be no slack in the slightest! The fate of the Great Song Dynasty depends on us, please!" Zhao Chen lightly Sighed lightly.

Li Xianzhong nodded excitedly.

"Rest early today, tomorrow I will do morning exercises with the soldiers, and then I will go to Datong!" Zhao Chen laughed.

That night, Zhao Chen and others fell asleep in Juyongguan.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and Zhao Chen had morning exercises with more than 100,000 soldiers from Juyongguan. An hour later, Zhao Chen led thousands of guards all the way towards Datong.

*** ***

Yanyun Sixteen States also had a scene full of autumn. They saw countless villages and farmland along the way!

In the afternoon, passing by a farmland, I saw sorghum everywhere, in patches!

The tassels of sorghum are drooping, which gives people a unique aesthetic feeling.

However, Zhao Chen and the others had no time to waste here, but kept moving forward.

There are still farmers working in the farmland. Those farmers saw thousands of soldiers and horses galloping past on the road, and all the farmers looked in that direction curiously!

If it was ten years ago, when they saw such a large army passing by, they would have immediately dodged and never dared to come out again! In troubled times, the army is much more terrifying than bandits! However, since Yanyun recovered and the Song army stationed here, they have paid attention to the "military and civilian fish and water family". heart of.

"Where do you think these soldiers and horses are going?" An old farmer asked curiously with a pipe in his mouth.

"I'm afraid it's going to Datong!" Several farmers came over and talked together.

"I heard that the imperial court is going to attack the Kingdom of Jin. I don't know if it's true or not?" the old farmer said again.

"I also heard that His Majesty wants to personally conquer!" A middle-aged man next to him said.

"Personal conquest? I heard that His Majesty inherited the throne at the age of ten, and then conquest at the age of twelve. He defeated the Jurchen general Wanyan Huonu and regained Guanshan! Your Majesty's second conquest was to recover Xixia, and the third conquest was to recover Jiangnan , this time, if the imperial conquest is made personally, the Jurchen will perish!" said the old farmer.

"That's the truth! Every time Your Majesty goes on a personal conquest, the imperial court is fully prepared and will never fail! Jurchen, my Han and Khitan's great enemy, killed countless of our clansmen. This time, I can finally avenge my revenge! "The middle-aged laughed.
