On November 3rd, afternoon. In the past, this was the warmest time of the day, but today it was a little colder than the previous few days. The wind blew like a knife, and the hazy sky sprinkled some ice chips from time to time. Judging from the situation, the snow was almost falling.

Zhou Dingyuan was wrapped in a thick sheepskin coat and stood in the roof of the Guandong city tower, which was like a bunker. Looking out from the shooting hole, the peaks were faint, the mountains were far away, the cold wind was shouting, the plants and trees were declining, and the world was depressed. If people were walking in this moment, the chill would probably be cold to the core.

In sharp contrast to the cold weather outside, there was a fire of Wangwang in the whistle building, and there was hot boiling water on the side. The space was not spacious and even a faint fragrance of rice wine was filled with...

Zhou Dingyuan raised his nose, frowned slightly, and said without looking back: "Xu Laosan, are you stealing wine again?"

Behind Zhou Dingyuan, seven or eight strong soldiers, who were also wrapped in thick jackets, surrounded by the brazier, and chatted and laughed quietly while roasting the fire. One of the bearded men was carefully holding up a gourd-shaped wine pot, and while peeking at Zhou Dingyuan's figure, he quietly sniffed. Unexpectedly, he had never seen his eyes, but his nose sold him.

The bearded man smiled, shook the wine pot, and smiled apologized: "This ghost weather, it's not like this thing to drive away the cold air, it's really cold...Police Zhou's head, why don't you sip it too to warm up your body?"

Zhou Dingyuan slowly withdrew his gaze and turned his head and said seriously: "Now our army has all been out. There are only soldiers from the entire Tianshu City and the Nandong and Nanchang cities. It can be said that the defense forces in the city are unprecedentedly empty, and the Jin army ahead and I Guancheng are only separated by several mountains... The battle situation is so steep, we must be so energetic!"

The bearded man named Xu Laosan hugged the bottle and said yes repeatedly, but in the end he couldn't help saying: "There is a city lord... The military lord himself took action and mobilized all the musketeers to block the attack halfway. No matter how many Ren Jin soldiers have, no matter how fierce the soldiers are, they will be scared by such powerful weapons. That may be so hard that Deputy Zhou is overly worried..."

The other soldiers nodded one by one and said yes. Look at the expressions on their faces, they did not intend to sing a counter-topic with Zhou Dingyuan, but their strong confidence in their own military leaders and musketeers.

Zhou Dingyuan was about to say something, but suddenly felt dizzy. He subconsciously touched his forehead - his palms were cold and his forehead was hot. After all, his body had not fully recovered, and he was busy with coldness these days... Zhou Dingyuan coughed a few times, exhaled gently, and said lightly: "This is the best..."

At the moment when the Tianzhu Army's troops are spread out everywhere, and people are short of people everywhere, and even the teaching battalion has to go on missions and train, Zhou Dingyuan, an intermediate officer, appears here. Isn't it strange? In fact, it's very simple to put it bluntly. Zhou Dingyuan is now a wounded person, and he is still in the process of raising him and has not returned to the team.

Zhou Dingyuan also made a great contribution to the battle of pacifying Dingcheng, but his injuries were not light. After the war, he was sent back to Tianshu City with other wounded personnel to heal. After more than a month of recovery, his injuries were basically stable, and he no longer had to lie in bed all day long. He could stroll around.

Since Di Lie pulled out two thousand troops to defend the city to fight an ambush, Tianshu City basically had no armed forces at this time. The security battalion left the troops of a capital, one of which guarded Tianshu City to maintain order and stabilize the people's hearts; the other team was split into two, half guarding the south gate of Naiheguan and half passing through the east gate.

No matter how strong the level is, it must be guarded by soldiers. However, at present, there are only more than twenty soldiers guarding the East City Gate, without a single musket. Although there are a large number of crossbows on each floor, there are not many qualified crossbows in this security camp...

The city defense was as empty as this. Zhou Dingyuan was naturally uneasy. Therefore, in the past few days, he simply moved from his home in Tianshu City to the barracks at the Guandong City Gate. Although he was not the direct Shangguan of these soldiers, his own military ranks were placed there, and it was not a supervisor...

"It's already the third day that the army leader led a large army to block the invading Jin army. According to the plan, it should be done successfully. It's almost a turnaround?" Zhou Dingyuan thought, "I just hope that the army will return soon, so as to avoid being restless..."

Just as Zhou Dingyuan was thinking about being out of his mind, he inadvertently saw the end of the mountain road with a shaped like "Zhi" from the shooting hole, and there seemed to be a flash of someone. Zhou Dingyuan's heart thumped, and he used his eyesight to look at it in a while. In just a moment, a large number of figures appeared on the mountain road!

Could it be that the army leader led the army to revolve? But if this is true, he would send a fast horse to communicate first. How could there be no information at all? Moreover, when the army returns, the front team will definitely shoot the military flag and the general flag and blew the contact horn. How could it be so silent?

"All people pay attention, there is an enemy situation!"

Zhou Dingyuan's sudden roar scared the soldiers of the police camp who were talking and laughing in the fire and rushed to the shooting hole to look out. Sure enough, due to the invasion of the Jin army, a group of dense pedestrians appeared on the mountain road where the business brigade was cut off. There were hundreds of people, with fast movements, agile bodies, fast but not chaotic, and a faint sense of elite. Although it was not clear whether they were carrying weapons or guards from the distance, with the quality of this action, they were definitely not like ordinary people or caravans.

Almost at the same time, at the opening of the sound tube made of large bamboo used for sound transmission through four floors in the bunker, the copper bell rang frequently, the voice was rapid, and the content was consistent: the enemy situation was discovered!

Immediately, the copper bell in the city of Guancheng rang, and the sound reached the south city gate, and the response and response was quickly echoed. The bells were far away, and the peaks echoed. Tianshu City, which was only seven or eight miles away in a straight line, was naturally early warning, and the alarm bells on the campus of the university also began to ring...

On the third day of November, at 2 noon, the second battle of defense of Naheguan officially began.

Back on the second day of November, just dawn, Wanyan Huowo led the carefully selected three hundred elite soldiers, quietly bypassing the mountain defended by the Third Infantry Battalion of the Tianzhu Army on the left, and under the leadership of Wang Qian, the former leader of the Dashiling Village, the old horse of the way, he began to interweave the action.

Among the 300 elite soldiers led by the Living Girl this time, there were not many Jurchen people. This is not because the Jurchen Jin soldiers lacked the courage to intersperse behind enemy lines, or because the Living Girl was reluctant to let the Jurchen Jin soldiers carry out such a risky action. The reason is very simple. The Jurchen Jin soldiers are unparalleled in shooting, but once they get off the horse, they are not even as good as ordinary Han slaves with their twin legs, crossing mountains and ridges, climbing up highs, etc.

Therefore, the target of the selection of live female generals was placed on the Han people in Liao and the Bohai people and Xi people in Yanjing Prefecture. The bravery of these soldiers was not inferior to the Jurchens, and there were many high mountains and ridges in Youyan in the north. These people were used as infantry for a long time, climbing high and low, and they were extremely agile. They were used as main force of this surprise soldier. It was very suitable.

A group of three hundred people, carrying rations for three days, wearing light half-body leather armor, each with a bow and three bundles of arrows. The short soldiers were all in hand, and they soon disappeared deep in the vast mountains.

From the early morning of November 2 to the afternoon of November 3, a few dozen miles of mountain roads, a group of three hundred live girls who are good at climbing took a whole day and a half. During this period, eleven people fell off the cliff, and their bodies were gone. Seven people were frostbite at night and were unable to continue to follow up, so they could only return. According to Wang Qian, it is still good that winter is now, and there are no traces of poisonous snakes and beasts. If this comes only in spring next year, I am afraid that there will be more than just this number of people.

Although there were quite a lot of twists and turns along the way, nearly half of the manpower was lost. But when I saw the honeycomb castle mentioned in Wang's previous article, the live female and the group of surprise soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. The hardships of the past two days and one night were not in vain, and the rest depends on luck. If the enemy is really empty in defense, then their surprise soldiers who fell from the sky can play a role in a designated universe; if the enemy still has an equal force, then, if we observe the degree of easy defense and difficult attack of the fort, their surprise soldiers will probably lose their soldiers and return in vain.

The living girl didn't know how lucky she was. But since he led 300 warriors last year, under the eyes of tens of thousands of Song soldiers, since Mengjindu made a feat of capturing ships without any danger, he understood one thing very clearly: the southerners have no blood and courage, and the government and the country are all greedy for life, and the government and the army are the same, and the bandits are the same.

No matter how many guards the enemy leaves, he must win this battle!

"Behind us are the innocent people who have survived thousands of disasters, and more than ten thousand living beings must be protected by us. No matter how many enemies come, no matter how many brothers we have to guard the pass, even if there is only one left, we must win!"

Zhou Dingyuan endured the dizziness and gathered all the 24 soldiers of the guard camp in the city and held a brief mobilization meeting. Finally, he made a solemn oath: "No matter how many enemies come or how powerful they are, if you want to break through the gate, unless you step on my body!"

The soldiers of the guard camp also swore in unison that they would never allow an enemy to step on this barrier for a moment, and would never allow the enemy to poison and enslave the residents of Tianshu City.

"Brothers, don't worry. I have sent a brother to return to the city to mobilize reinforcements and weapons. As long as we withstand a while, not only will the reinforcements in the city come, but even the leader of the army will lead the main army to kill a retaliation, cooperate inside and outside, and kill the enemy invading cleanly..."

A soldier said aiyi: "Previous head of Zhou, the enemy has appeared in front of Guancheng, but our main force has disappeared. Will it be..."

"Stop!" Zhou Dingyuan stared at the soldier coldly, "When the enemy is in front of him, he should fight the enemy with all his might, but if anyone disturbs the morale of the army, he will be engaged in military law!"

"Abide by the orders of the same people!" All soldiers in the security battalion answered in unison.

Zhou Dingyuan immediately deployed defense: "Four floors, six people stationed on each floor, at least two people can use crossbows to block the sheep and horse wall with all their strength; if the enemy breaks through the sheep and horse wall and builds a ladder to cross the moat, they will use thunderbolt bombs to explode; if the enemy crosses the moat and climbs up, they will use a spear to stab the shooting hole with a spear... Go and two people lift all the spare thunderbolt bombs in the armory in the city and distribute them evenly to the four-story guards. Stay in touch with a sound tube at any time and act immediately!"

The living girl originally intended to come to a strange soldier from the sky, and suddenly attacked and seize the city of Guancheng at the lowest cost. But when he saw the "Zhi"-shaped mountain path and the towering Naihe Pass, he had to helplessly give up this idea. Unless there is any other path that can go around to Naihe Pass without going through this mountain path, as long as he steps on the mountain path, all the tracks will be captured by the other party.

So there are other forks, will you do another raid? Of course there is no more. This is Taihang Mountain, not a small hill, you can easily make a trail.

Sure enough, when the living girl and her party had just stepped on the mountain road and had not yet reached one-third of their journey, the alarm bell echoed and the valley roared.
