Chapter 44 - Tongguan Lost
"In front of us is Tongguan City! The Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty is in Tongguan City, of course when the army of the true female army arrived, the Crown Prince must have escaped! We need to take down Tongguan City as soon as possible, then catch up to His Highness and capture him alive! " Jin Wushu held onto a big axe, and said excitedly.
"Fourth Prince, this Tongguan City is the most dangerous place in the Central Plains, it seems like there are a lot of troops stationed here! I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to get our hands on them! " A Chieftain beside him reminded him.
"Humph!" The first barrier would still depend on who would defend it! Do you see the soldiers up there? What are they like? Can such a soldier be compared with my real son? " Jin Wushu said with a look of disdain.
Chieftain was startled, then nodded her head.
Jin Wushu sneered, it was not because he looked down on the Tongguan, but because the soldiers of the Tongguan were truly too trashy, making it difficult for him to pay any attention to them! Right now, they only had ten thousand cavalrymen coming to the bottom of the Tongguan, and they did not have many siege weapons in their hands, but the soldiers on top of them were actually trembling. From afar, all of the Song Dynasty soldiers looked pale, clearly showing their fear!
"An army without courage, I can destroy with a wave of my hand! Pass down the order, attack the city immediately! " Jin Wushu said loudly.
"But, Fourth Prince, Marshal Zuo Du said, he wants us to wait for General Wanyan Loushi's arrival and attack the Tongguan together. General Wanyan Loushi hasn't arrived yet!" Chieftain beside him reminded him again.
"Bastard!" The situation was urgent. There was no room for delay! If we can't attack the Tongguan as soon as possible, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty would flee to Sichuan, what should we do? Pass my order, attack the city immediately! There are those who are lazy, those who are cowering away, and those who are not to be spared! " Jin Wushu cursed loudly!
The snow was falling heavily and the Nvzhen did not have any siege weapons. They only cut down a few trees in the surroundings and used these trees to make a simple ladder to attack the Tongguan!
If this was the era of the Han and Tang Dynasties, this would simply be unimaginable! The Tongguan was a mountain pass that decided the fate of the world. How could it be possible for a group of barbarians to use a simple cloud ladder to kill it?
But in the last year of the Northern Song, when such a thing happened, the Nvzhen was filled with confidence in defeating the Tongguan, but the soldiers and generals of the Tongguan did not!
These Tongguan's soldiers were all Yao Gu's subordinates, and the one leading them was Yao Gu's cousin Yao Xiong! At this moment, as Yao Xiong looked down, his face turned pale as the fear in his heart reached its peak!
"Do you think we can defend?" Yao Xiong said anxiously.
"General, the Nvzhen is fierce, their fighting strength is unrivaled, we are not their match!" A deputy general beside him said.
"But, we are inside the Tongguan, and this Tongguan is one of the few dangerous places in the world. Here, we should be able to stop the Nvzhen!" Another deputy general beside him said.
"Hmph, the Nvzhen has even defeated the three northern towns, can't they still defeat a mere Tongguan? If Tongguan is truly able to block Nvzhen, then why would that old thief Zhe Keqiu be so kind as to give Tongguan to us? " That Lieutenant General said.
"This …" Hearing this, all the officers were speechless.
"General, what should we do now?" The deputy general said.
"I want to evacuate Tongguan immediately, and inform the Lord Overseer about the news of the female army heading westward!" Yao Xiong pondered for a moment before replying.
The so called oppressor was his younger cousin, Yao Army's management family Yao Gu. Right now, he was the oppressor of the river! At this moment, the Jin Army had just attacked and he actually had plans to escape!
"But, are we really going to just abandon the Tongguan like that?" The deputy general that had spoken earlier said.
"You stay here and defend the Tongguan! I will leave all my men for you! If you can guard against this place, I will remember your great achievement! " Yao Xiong said!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The deputy general was at a loss for words!
Just at this time, the Tongguan suddenly let out a cheer! Yao Xiong quickly led his men and looked down!
He saw a young female high-ranking officer not wearing any armor, holding a gigantic axe in his hand as he walked towards him. The female high-ranking officer was extremely ferocious, with arrows and arrows constantly shooting at him, but he managed to push them to the side! Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the walls of Tongguan, a huge boulder came crashing towards him! He roared in anger and swung the giant axe in his hand forward. The huge boulder was actually shattered into pieces by him!
His body continued to move forward, and countless spears were thrusting towards him from above! He laughed out loud and brandished the giant axe in his hand. Instantly, all the spears were hacked into two halves! His body soared into the air and he actually arrived above the city walls!
"First, shoot this female barbarian!" Yao Xiong did not escape. He frowned and said.
He thought to himself, this Nvzhen is really going too far. He actually dared to charge onto the walls of the Tongguan City by himself, it must be known that there are tens of thousands of Yao Army soldiers here, how could they not kill a mere barbarian?
Following his order, countless Yao Army soldiers rushed towards the Genuine Young Women general!
"Good job!" The Young Generals was naturally Jin Wushu, he was brave to the extreme, and when he saw that many soldiers were charging towards him, not only was he not afraid in the slightest, he was even excited to the extreme!
He could feel the blood in his body boiling. There had never been a moment that could make him so excited!
He was the biological son of the peerless ruler of the Nvzhen, Wan Yanaguda. From the moment he was born, he was destined to walk on the battlefield, destined to have made brilliant meritorious war achievements for the Dajin! Before him, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi and the others had all followed their royal father to battle in the east. At that time, he was still young, but now he had grown up.
"From today onwards, there will only be one person whose name will resound across the entire Nvzhen. That person will be me, Wan Yanwushu!" Jin Wushu's eyes turned blood-red!
Countless soldiers were charging towards him. He roared and waved the giant axe in his hand in a mad dance! Song Bing fell to the ground, his clothes, body, and hair all drenched in blood. This blood seemed to have thoroughly stimulated his barbarian blood!
He bellowed as he walked forward. Originally, it should have been the countless Song soldiers that had come to kill him. Now, they were chasing after the countless Song soldiers and killing them all by themselves!
It was almost as if they were one or a few at once. In the midst of the strong wind, who knew how many Yao Army soldiers fell into a pool of blood!
Not a single Yao Army soldier within three meters of him could stand, and all of them fell on the ground! The distant Yao Army soldiers were already at their wits' end as they retreated one after another. Jin Wushu roared loudly as he chased after countless of Yao Army soldiers on top of the city walls!
"This... Was he even human? The female barbarian is actually this savage? " Yao Xiong felt chills down his spine when he saw this!
That female barbarian's martial arts were very high, but this was not what he was afraid of. What he was afraid of was her unstoppable killing intent that could destroy everything! From his point of view, this was no longer a human, this was a demon god that came from the depths of the mountains and forests! No wonder the Nvzhen could rule the world, they actually had such unparalleled generals!
"General, we need to leave this place as soon as possible!" You have seen for yourself just how powerful a female barbarian is. The deputy general said fearfully.
"Retreat!" Hurry and retreat! We need to leave this place immediately! " Yao Xiong shouted!
He quickly headed down Tongguan City, and the other generals followed him down the mountain. The deputy general, who had previously insisted on defending the Tongguan, was now afraid as well.
Seeing that the main generals had retreated, countless soldiers swarmed over!
At this moment, the female Genuine soldiers had already climbed from the ladders to the walls of the Tongguan.
They had fought from the distant north all the way here, and their bodies were abnormally exhausted. They originally wanted to recuperate, but their race needed them to continue fighting, so they continued to fight! They used all of their strength. They were not afraid of death, as long as they could kill the enemy before they died!
With their lives on the line, how could the Yao Army be their opponent?
In just two hours, an important mountain pass that could decide the fate of the entire world was lost just like that!
More than half of the Yao Army had died, the remaining 3,000 odd people were running in the snow, and Jin Wushu did not have any rest. He did not even leave anyone behind to guard the Tongguan, and brought 10,000 soldiers to chase down the remaining 3000 odd Yao Army!
