    ? In the spring of the ninth year of Yuanyou in the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Yelu Neru of the Liao Dynasty raised an army of 200,000 troops and went south to Yanmen Pass to attack the Song Dynasty.

    The Beggar Gang also received an order from the leader to gather more than 30,000 disciples to go to Yanmen Pass to help in the battle, but the leader did not go with them, saying that he would meet his brothers at Yanmen Pass.

    ?The South King of Dali Zhennan led five hundred dragon guards to the north to help in the battle. At the same time, he sent a letter to Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin, ordering him to spread heroic posts, calling on all heroes of the Song Dynasty to go to Yanmenguan to participate in the battle.

    In the letter, Gao Peng told Xuanci that Xu Zhu was the son of him and Ye Erniang, Xuanci had a handle in Gao Peng's hands, and was grateful for Gao Peng's great kindness, changed Shaolin Temple's self-care style, and personally led two thousand Shaolin disciples,  Take nearly ten thousand martial arts heroes to Yanmen Pass.

    ?In this battle, the Song Dynasty court and the martial arts were unprecedentedly cohesive, united as one, vowing to defend the country and fight against the Khitan barbarians

    The two peaks on both sides of Yanmen Pass are facing each other, towering into the clouds, so the pass is named "Yanmen", which means that when the wild geese fly south, they must pass between the two peaks, which is a metaphor for the danger of the terrain.

    ?As a great pass through the ages, Yanmen Pass has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. There are walls on both sides of the north and south.

    The largest defensive stronghold of Yanmenguan is located outside the iron-wrapped gate on the top of Gouzhu Mountain. The iron-wrapped gate is named after the dark brown color of the stone gorge, and it is a manually excavated pass.

    The pass is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The situation is dangerous and the barriers are fortified. It is about seven feet wide from east to west and half a mile long from north to south.

    There is a wooden gate tower on Tianxian Gate, called "Yan Tower", which is far away from the beacon tower in the north of Yanmen Pass.

    Therefore, in order to break through the Yanmen Pass, one must enter from the Tianxian Gate or the Dili Gate, but the special funnel-shaped terrain outside these two gates makes it inevitable that once the army enters this half-mile-long road, it will be attacked by three sides.

    In addition to the attack on the front tower, the left and right walls can also attack the troops in the lower pass.

    To put it bluntly, the road in front of the Yanmen Pass is an alley, a wide alley at the beginning, and narrows as it gets closer to the city gate.

    It is conceivable that once a large number of people rush in from the wide alley, they will be more and more crowded, and in the end, they may be so crowded that they cannot even move, and can only stand inside and be beaten.

    Under normal circumstances, to break through this barrier, one must have at least ten times as many troops as the defenders. They would attack day and night in different shifts, filling the barrier with human lives, exhausting the defenders and exhausting their resources.  The materials for defending the city may still be breached in this way.

    Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone to break through this majestic pass, which is more difficult to conquer than Hulao Pass, Tongguan Pass, and Hangu Pass.

    Of course, this is when the combat effectiveness, morale, and fighting will of the two armies are equal.

    However, the Song Dynasty has promoted culture and suppressed martial arts for many years. The army has been sparse in battle for a long time and lacks training. The soldiers are weak.  How can the army guard the pass?

    When the Yang family general of Tianbo Mansion was still there, the Song army was still able to take the initiative to fight outside the pass with the Khitans, but now, the Khitans came to attack, and the guards did not abandon the pass and fled, they were considered elite.

    Originally, there were only ten thousand Song troops guarding Yanmen Pass, and it was absolutely impossible to defend it, but in the past month, the beggar gang and martial arts heroes rushed to the pass one after another, and the number of guards in the pass increased several times, making Yanmen Pass commander  Zhang Han secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

    It is said that the 300,000 troops led by His Majesty have passed through Taiyuan and will arrive in a few days. I believe that this time the Liao army will definitely smash their halberds in front of Yanmen Pass.

    The so-called three armies have not moved, food and grass go first, Zhao Xu's army has not arrived, and the food transport team advanced to the city gate. The four elders, Song Xi, Chen Wu, looked at the grain transport team entering the pass, and suddenly moved their minds.

    "Old Wu, shouldn't we ask the sergeant for some food? Everyone came all the way to help them guard the customs, and they still ate the dry food they brought with them. They can't even ignore the food, can they?"

    Wu Changfeng nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Of course, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers! We are here to work hard for the country, and we don't even care about food. Isn't that chilling?"

    Elder Song said: "However, we still have to get Abbot Xuanci involved in this matter, we can't just let the beggar gang come forward."

    "That's right, let's go and find Abbot Xuanci."

    The Four Elders found Abbot Xuanci and mentioned this matter to him. Xuanci also thought it was a matter of course, but since the food transport team had just entered the city and the Song army would be in a hurry, they decided to wait.On the next day, I will go to the general guarding the gate here to discuss.

    Unexpectedly, before the second day, in the afternoon of the same day, Song Jun led the Huotou army and soldiers, and delivered the meals to the camps of the beggar gang and martial arts heroes.

    The leaders found the Four Great Elders of Song, Xi, Chen, Wu and Abbot Xuanci, and told them that His Majesty had sent an imperial decree that all the righteous soldiers who came to Yanmen Pass to help the battle would be borne by the Song Army.  They will eat whatever they want.

    Zhao Xu's action made all the martial arts heroes feel good, and many of the Forbidden Army's spear and stick instructors pretending to be martial arts heroes took the opportunity to publicize that the emperor would not hesitate to oppose the aristocratic family and re-introduce the new law in order to benefit the people of the world.  Crisis or something.

    When these news spread, Zhao Xu immediately won the love of the people in the Jianghu, and they all expressed that they unreservedly supported the emperor, and anyone who dared to oppose the emperor and oppose him would be regarded as an enemy by them.

    After this battle is over, these news will surely spread throughout the country through the mouths of these martial arts heroes. As long as Zhao Xu wins the support of the people all over the world, the aristocratic families will no longer be able to make waves, and can only obey Zhao Xu obediently.  Xu.

    "Hehe, our emperor is a sensible person, he is particular about it, and knows that we people are the foundation of a country."

    "That is, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. This is the same in any dynasty. It is really rare for our emperor to deeply understand this."

    "I heard that the emperor's personal conquest this time will be shamed by the Xuechanyuan Alliance. He is a young and promising emperor!"

    There are discussions about Zhao Xu everywhere in Yanmen Pass, most of them express their support and love for him, only a small number of them hold a wait-and-see attitude.

    These people think that the emperor is too young and doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and such things as imperial conquests should never happen easily when the country is in danger.

    Amidst the discussions among the martial arts heroes, the emperor's royal driver and his army were gradually approaching. Of course, the Liao army led by Emperor Liao was also marching towards Yanmen Pass.

    Until this day, the commanders of the guards of Yanmen Gate led the guards out of the gate to welcome the emperor, and the martial arts heroes also knew that the emperor had arrived.

    Wu Changfeng waved his hand at the disciples of the Beggar Gang, and shouted excitedly: "Let's go, let's meet the emperor too, and see what our Great Song Emperor looks like." (Remember this site's website: www  .hlnovel.com
