Chapter 1853
The sky was wounded, the sky was fierce, the sky cried, the four armies of Tianqiao, and the garrison soldiers of Jiading Prefecture and Chengdu Prefecture.
This is nearly 70,000 soldiers.
To the east of Lan Pass, with the surrender of Zigaoyi, the governor of Guozhou, Shangzhou and Guozhou had all fallen into the hands of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Ba Tong led the Tiangui Army to guard Guozhou, and now he has begun to take over the defenses of various cities and cities in Guozhou.
Yuan Kangbo, the commander of the Tianfan Army, and Zhang Guangbao, deputy commander, led the Tianfan Army and the Luzhou garrison army to take charge of Shangluo, the main mansion of Shangzhou.
There are only 2,000 Luzhou garrison soldiers guarding the Luzhou garrison in Luonan County, and there are only hundreds of garrisons in the other towns.
If it weren't for someone in the local city to take the opportunity to cause trouble, Zhang Guangbao might not even be willing to stay these hundreds of defenders.
In Shangluo City, the Tianfan Army and the Luzhou Garrison Army had a total of about 25,000 people.
As Shi Kaiji led his army to Lan Pass, Zhang Guangbao, who was just east of this Lan Pass, naturally would not sit still.
When Shi Kaiji asked him to lead Tiangui, Tianbao and the Luzhou garrison troops to come to Shangzhou, he had made it clear to him to attack the east and west to take down the Lan Pass.
Only by winning the Lan Pass can the passage between Ganyou Town and Shangzhou be completely opened.
Their base in the south of Jingzhao Prefecture was initially stable.
So when Shi Kaiji led his army outside the Languan Pass, there were also smoke rolling on the east side of Languan.
At this time, Chai Liren, the Western Marshal of the Yuan Dynasty, had not yet arrived in Jingzhao Prefecture.
The troops of Qingyuan, Fuyan, Hedong North Road and Hedong South Road, who were included in Daoist by real gold, were still on the way to Jingzhaofu Road.
In Languan Pass, only about 20,000 troops were dispatched from Jingzhao Prefecture to guard the troops.
Jingzhaofu Road, as a rare provincial capital in the Yuan Dynasty, still had a lot of troops in its territory.
There are about 100,000 in total.
Previously, the imperial guards of the Shuzhong Military Region successively captured Ganyou, Shangzhou, Guozhou and other places, which did not cause much damage to the Yuan army on Jingzhaofu Road.
Most of the county towns in Jingzhaofu Road are located in the north, while the south is too deserted.
The north is still safe and sound at this moment. It can be said that the main force of the Yuan army in Jingzhao Prefecture was not hit.
However, Jingzhao Prefecture Censor Bing Wenxuan did not dare to send too many troops to guard Lan Pass.
It’s not that he doesn’t know the importance of Lan Pass, he is really powerless.
Looking at the entire Jingzhao Prefecture Road, it is true that there are more than 100,000 defenders, but the Shuzhong Military Region gathers more than 100,000 troops here.
The Song army is famous for its ability to conquer and fight. He doesn't think that his army of more than 100,000 mixed with fish and dragons can fight against the Song army head-on.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have asked Zhenjin for help after the Imperial Guards in Shuzhong arrived in Jingzhao Mansion Road.
The reason why he sent 20,000 defenders to Lan Pass was just because he was still feeling a little lucky.
He hopes that the 20,000 soldiers will be able to defend Lan Pass for a period of time. When reinforcements arrive, he will have enough strength to help the Lan Pass soldiers.
And if the Languan soldiers can't hold on at that time, there is nothing we can do about it.
Bing Wenxuan was finally unwilling to give up Languan, allowing the imperial guards in Shu to easily form a stable base in the south of Jingzhaofu Road.
At sunset and at dusk.
There are a few black clouds along the sky, which look like it is about to rain.
There is wind.
The wind blew, making the trees in the mountains outside Languan Pass rust.
Shi Kaiji led the army to the west side of Languan Pass for more than an hour.
On the passes like the Great Wall, there are dense Yuan army guards.
Languan Pass lies in front of the mountains.
There are only city walls on the east and west sides of the entire pass, and in the middle is a military camp.
The city walls on both sides are very tall. Throughout the ages, Languan can be said to be a key military strategist.
Before, when there were no Shenlong guns, grenades and other objects, passes like Lan Pass were enough to be called a city of natural chasm.
Even if you have several times the strength of the troops, don't try to easily take them down.
When the Great Yuan Warrior snatched the Blue Pass from the Jurchens, he paid tens of thousands of people for it.
If the price paid by the Jurchens to take this Blue Pass from the Northern Song Dynasty, the corpse buried in this Blue Pass will be even more incalculable.
From the mottled scratches on the city wall, you can also see what kind of fierce battle this heroic pass has experienced before.
After Shi Kaiji led his army outside the pass, he did not immediately attack the city.
At this time, the soldiers in the army were camping outside the pass.
It is not that easy to get a strong pass like Blue Pass.
It can be said that it is more difficult than winning any city.
Not to mention anything else, just take the city wall as an example.
The city wall of Lan Pass is nearly ten meters high and about four meters thick. Even if it is bombarded with a grenade launcher, I don’t know how many shells are consumed.
The Song Dynasty's shells were not picked up, and this was just a confrontation with the Yuan Dynasty.
Shi Kaiji obviously was reluctant to waste so much.
On the way to lead his army to this Lan Pass, he had already conceived countless times how to win this pass.
What he has to do now is wait.
