Among them were masters like Zhou Tong.

After only a few exchanges,

This left the young Wuzhu in a state of panic and confusion.

Even with my strength, I can't use it.

All it could do was howl madly.

He recklessly swung his great axe at Yue Fei.

It's a fighting style that's completely risking one's life.

Although Wuzhu's momentum was like that of a mad dog

However, Yue Fei knew that Wuzhu would eventually run out of strength.

If the move slows down,

That is the time to take his life.

However, Yue Fei did not get a chance to fight.

The gate has been closed and the signal for closure has been given.

"withdraw."

Yue Fei shouted loudly,

Forced Wuzhu to retreat,

With one spear thrust, he pierced a Jin soldier beside him and knocked him off his horse.

Yue Fei steered his horse through the battle.

If they saw soldiers who couldn't retreat, they would go forward to help them fight.

He quickly ordered his troops to disengage from the battle.

Withdraw to the pass.

Wuzhu, however, relentlessly pursued him.

Look, they've caught up with Yue Fei!

With a loud shout,

He swung his axe at Yue Fei.

Yue Fei heard the sound of wind behind him.

With a twist of his body,

The steel spear in his hand thrust out like a venomous snake.

The spot was precisely on the handle of Wuzhu's axe.

The large axe immediately swung backward.

Wuzhu was also brought along and lay down on the saddle.

Yue Fei was about to deliver the final blow to Wuzhu when...

Wuzhu's two personal guards had already rushed over.

They had no choice but to abandon Wuzhu.

With a sweep of his steel gun,

The two Jin soldiers fell off their horses, blood trickling from their necks.

This delay

Wuzhu's other personal guards also caught up.

Yue Fei saw that the opportunity was gone.

He then spurred his horse and charged towards the pass.

"Fight in."

Wuzhu was not about to give up so easily.

They led the Jin soldiers, intending to seize the opportunity to storm into the pass.

Yue Fei heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

He hung up a steel gun.

Pick up the bow and arrow,

He turned and shot.

Wuzhu heard the bowstring twang.

He hurriedly dodged to the side.

The arrow grazed past the animal hide on his body.

He shot one of his personal guards off his horse.

The Jin soldiers saw that Yue Fei dared to play archery with them.

They all hung up their weapons and took out bows and arrows.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Just as Wuzhu was about to take out his bow and arrow,

But then a bugle call sounded from the central army.

They had no choice but to rein in their warhorses.

Watching Yue Fei run into Guanzhong.

The Jin soldiers also reined in their horses.

Watching the door close,

They all shouted in exasperation.

Wuzhu turned his horse around.

He ran to the front of the main army formation.

He shouted at Wanyan Zongwang in dissatisfaction.

"I was just about to lead my troops to storm in,"

"Why did you withdraw your troops, Second Brother?"

Wanyan Zongwang glared at Wuzhu.

"Don't forget the lesson of the Battle of Gubeikou,"

"Until the city walls are breached,"

"Just that one small door,"

"Even if it's open, we can't get in."

"A few fire mines could kill everyone below the city gate."

This point was reached through discussions among the Jin people.

Wuzhu knew this beforehand.

It was just a matter of going into battle.

I forgot about it.

Wuzhu scratched his head sheepishly.

He then spurred his horse and rode ahead to guard the catapults.

Zhang Qing closed the door and watched Yue Fei return to the city, then shouted loudly.

"Artillery attack."

Gave an order,

The gunners who had closed the gates lit the cannons in the catapults' baskets.

The well-trained gunners then fired together.

They threw the cannon out.

Each cannon shot drew a different trajectory in the sky.

It whistled as it landed below the pass.

Exploded with a bang.

A five-pound cannon exploded.

People within a radius of several feet were torn apart and overturned.

Just one attack,

They destroyed dozens of Jin Dynasty catapults.

Some artillery pieces were not calibrated.

It landed on the open ground.

The explosion sent snow flying everywhere.

Wuzhu's warhorse was also startled.

He jumped up and down a few times.

Wuzhu then clamped the horse's belly tightly.

Unable to move.

Wuzhu and the others were merely innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

The Jin soldiers who were carrying the catapults forward were directly attacked.

Even if they weren't hit by the explosion,

The sound of artillery fire around them made their eardrums ache.

Many people instinctively run backward.

Wuzhu saw that some Han soldiers were fleeing.

Pick up your bow and arrows.

Several arrows shot down the fleeing men in quick succession.

Wanyan Zongwang also sent a troop of Jin soldiers from the rear.

Slay those who try to escape.

The Han Chinese who were carrying the catapults knew that fleeing back meant certain death.

They had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to carrying the catapult.

no way,

Only the Han Chinese could operate catapults.

The Jurchens were strong.

But to teach a group of savages to fire a cannon together...

It's harder than getting the Jurchens to stop killing people.

The cannons kept firing from the gate.

Destroyed catapults one after another.

The explosions also caused snow to fall heavily over the area outside the pass.
