    Seeing that it was getting dark, there had been no movement at the iron gate opposite. Shi Jin ordered those on duty to guard their heads carefully and walked down to the gate.  .

    "The third and fourth teams are preparing for the battle, and the other two teams should rest."

    "yes"

    "yes"

    Zhang Shisan asked his soldiers to rest and then chased Shi Jin.

    Shi Jin heard the footsteps, turned around and saw it was Zhang Shisan, nodded and said, "Is something wrong?"

    Zhang Shisan said: "To be fair to the captain, I want to avenge my brothers."

    Most of the casualties today were under Zhang Shisan¡¯s command, and nearly half of the 100 soldiers were killed or injured.  Each hundred-man team is fixed when they train in Tokyo. They train in Tokyo for half a year and then are assigned to different places.  Zhang Shisan's team has been together for almost two years, and they have a deep sense of camaraderie.

    Shi Jin nodded and said: "They are also my brothers, and I also want to avenge them, but the Jin people are not coming. If we want to attack Iron Gate, we have to wait for General Shi's order."

    Zhang Shisan hurriedly said: "To attack Tiemenguan, I'm afraid I have to ask the prince for instructions. It will take several days to go back and forth, but the fighter plane is gone in a flash. The Jin people are barbaric, and the Jin people flying the eagle must be one of the most famous generals in the Jin country, otherwise  The Iron Gate Guard will not fail to fight back. If we can capture the Jin Man, we can not only avenge our brothers, but also achieve a great feat."

    Shi Jin nodded and said: "I know everything you said. There are many fierce generals around the Jin man, otherwise the brothers who came out of the customs would not have so many casualties. But today, there are fifteen or six hundred Jin people who came to our customs.  , We can dispatch up to five hundred people in the pass, I'm afraid it won't be easy to take down the iron gate. "

    Zhang Shisan said: "The Jin people have always looked down on us Han people. I'm afraid they thought that we would guard against their night attacks in the pass. They certainly didn't expect that we would attack them at night. If we attack them unprepared, if we use more fire and thunder attacks, we will definitely be able to seize the iron gate.  Guan, catch the golden chief."

    Shi Jin was not a steady leader. He thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then we will lead five hundred people to attack Tiemenguan at night. You go and order teams six to ten to recharge their batteries and prepare for the fifth watch."  God takes action.¡±

    "yes"

    Seeing that Shi Jin agreed, Zhang Shisan happily ran to deliver the order.

    There were two more meat dishes for dinner than usual. The soldiers had a hearty meal. The soldiers on duty continued to go to the pass for defense, and the rest fell asleep early.

    The military camps in Liangzhou have all been improved. Although the food at the border is not as rich as in Tokyo, it is still better than the life of most small landowners.  This is also an aspect that attracts young people to join the army. Filling the staple food tube really attracts many big eaters, and of course most of these people are strong men.

    In the second year of Tianqi, Daliang had 500,000 regular troops, but its military expenditure exceeded the Song Dynasty's military expenditure of one million miscellaneous soldiers. If Chao Yong hadn't been appointed Minister of War, I'm afraid someone would have asked the Ministry of War to reduce military expenditure.  In the third year of Apocalypse, the number of soldiers and horses has continued to increase, and it is foreseeable that military expenditure will hit an astronomical figure again.

    At the fourth watch, Shi Jin was awakened by his own soldiers and came out neatly dressed. Five hundred soldiers and horses for the night attack had already gathered. The black military uniforms allowed everyone to blend into the darkness better.

    Shi Jin looked up at the sky. It was another night with dark clouds covering the moon. There was no telling when there would be a heavy snowfall, but tonight was perfect for a night attack.

    The defenders silently opened the door and closed the door as soon as the soldiers and horses who attacked at night came out of the gate.

    The group of people walked quietly through the valley, and soon the iron gate they arrived closed.

    The few bonfires lighting up the iron gate have long been extinguished, and only a few torches are still burning when the iron gate is closed.

    Since the two countries delimited the border in the second year of Tianqi, they have been at peace with each other, and the Jin people's defense has gradually relaxed.  Although there was a battle today, the Jin people did not think that the Han people dared to attack. They just lit a few more bonfires outside the pass. However, after waiting for most of the night without any trouble, the Jin people were too lazy to leave the pass to make more bonfires.  .

    It is impossible to open and close the door at night, so you can only use a hanging basket to go up and down, and you have to find something that can withstand burning. The Jin people have never been a diligent nation.  Moreover, the guard general also said that the Han people's military discipline was much stricter than theirs. He was already bold enough to dare to go out of the city to attack Wanyan Zonghan, and he would definitely not attack Tiemenguan rashly again.

    Zhang Shisan crawled under the door with an explosive bag, placed the explosive bag, and shook the fire stick.

    "Chi"

    The fuse made a slight sound when it was lit, but under the cover of the howling wind, no one could hear it except Zhang Shisan in front of him.

    Zhang Shisan saw that the gunpowder bag had been lit, so he did not retreat. He stood up and slipped under the wall. He covered his ears with his hands and hid quickly to the side with his waist crouched.

    After running a few feet, he heard a loud noise behind him and the ground shook slightly. Although he had stuffed cotton into his ears and covered his ears, Zhang Shisan was still shaken.There was a rumbling in my head.

    Shi Jin used the light of the explosion to see that the city gate was blown to pieces. He put down his hands covering his ears and shouted: "Raise the fire and kill me."

    The golden soldiers at the gate were all stunned. When they saw the torches lighting up outside, they didn't know how many people rushed into the gate, hurriedly drawing their bows and shooting arrows.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he leaned out, countless sharp arrows were shot from the darkness. He calculated mentally and accidentally, and immediately turned the few golden soldiers into hedgehogs.

    The lurking archers cleared away all the golden soldiers behind the closed door, and then followed Shi Jin and rushed in.

    This loud noise also woke up the golden soldiers from their sleep. They howled and picked up their weapons and ran out, without even bothering to put on their clothes.

    If they were Han people, they would run out naked in the middle of the night in November and be frozen stiff, let alone fighting. However, these Jin people were not affected too much. They howled and rushed towards the door one by one.  Come.

    Fearing that the horses would be frightened, the soldiers of Daliang came on foot.  But Shi Jin's pace was not much slower than that of a war horse. Even so, Shi Jin rushed into the pass and saw dozens of naked Jurchens rushing toward him.

    Shi Jin did not bring his three-pointed two-edged sword, but a waist sword across his waist. But now he had a fire thunder and a fire fold in his hand. Seeing that the golden soldiers had actually gathered, he also  You're welcome, I lit the fire thunder immediately and threw it into the pile of gold soldiers.

    "Boom"

    "Boom"

    "Boom"

    The soldiers behind also kept throwing fire thunders and torches, bombarding the Jin people and setting fire to the houses in Guanzhong to prevent the Jin people from hiding in corners and firing hidden arrows.

    But the Jurchens are tough, all of them are naked and carrying knives, no one is hiding in the house and shooting arrows.  Of course, they don't have the brains. For the simple-minded Jurchens, they can defeat the Han people with a knife.

    This also makes the work of Shi Jin and others a lot easier. After throwing the fire mines with them, the people behind them throw them.  If everyone throws fire mines at the same time, it will not only waste the fire mines, but also cause trouble easily. If someone kills them with an arrow, the fire mines will explode in their own crowd, which is likely to detonate all the fire mines and destroy their entire army.  Therefore, there must be two people watching behind a fire thunder hand. Once the fire thunder hand is attacked and the ignited fire thunder is not thrown out, the other two people will be responsible for throwing the fire thunder out.

    But this time, the Daliang soldiers were basically not attacked. After the Jin people woke up, they all came out with knives to fight. No one thought of using bows and arrows in the dark.

    Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Sheyema were still staying at Tiemenguan. Yesterday they retreated to Tiemenguan to discuss for a while. It was getting late, so Wanyan Zonghan decided to hit the road again the next day.

    When I was sleeping soundly, I was awakened by the sound of explosion, and I quickly rushed into the yard with my weapons.

    She Yema and a dozen guards also ran out, and they were all shaken awake from their deep sleep, suffering from severe pain in their heads and shaking.

    Wanyan Zonghan was also a savage. Without thinking, he rushed out with his son and guards.

    Seeing that all the golden soldiers in front were blown down, Wanyan Zonghan found it difficult to rush forward and quickly shouted: "Go back and use your bow and arrow."

    Shi Jin had already seen Wanyan Zonghan surrounded by people, and when he heard Wanyan Zonghan howling, he immediately lit a fire thunder and threw it at Wanyan Zonghan.

    In the darkness, the golden man could not see the trajectory of the fire and thunder. When the fire and thunder hit him, Wanyan Zonghan screamed and wanted to hide back.  After just two steps, I felt severe pain all over my body and lost consciousness.

    The Jin people behind saw Wanyan Zonghan and She Yema and his son being blown to pieces, and they howled one after another. The coach died in the battle. If they could not defeat the enemy, it would be a death penalty for them to escape.  And with Wanyan Zonghan's identity, even if they defeat the enemy in front of them, they may not be able to survive.

    The golden men in Guanli were almost in a dead end. They were howling one by one, as if the sky was falling, and rushed forward waving their knives, not remembering Wanyan Zonghan's instructions.

    Fortunately, Shi Jin brought out all the fire thunders stored in Gubeikou for this raid, and each fire thunder easily tore the Jin man into pieces.

    The Jin people were tough enough, but after charging like a death squad for a while, some people finally started to run away.

    If one escapes, there will be a second one soon.

    Those who did not escape were either killed by fire and thunder or shot by archers. Occasionally, a few people broke into the front of the Daliang soldiers and were cloned by chaos blades, making them almost incapable of lethality.

    Unprepared, the golden man was stunned by the loud bang of the door, and then hit by the constant explosions of fire and thunder. The golden man had a splitting headache. It was already very difficult to find the right direction.  What kind of fighting power is there?

    Soon, Shi Jin led his troops to the iron gate and looked at the darkness outside.The golden man who fled naked [***] waved his hand to stop the soldiers and horses, and said: "Search all the golden soldiers in Guanzhong, kill those who resist, and do not take any injured prisoners."

    Zhang Shisan also chased after him, looking at the fleeing Jin people outside unwillingly, and said: "Those Jin people are not fully equipped with armor, why not catch up and kill them all."

    Shi Jin shook his head and said: "This will be the coldest time. If they run out naked, they will freeze their hands and feet even if they freeze to death. Why are we wasting that energy? Okay, you lead people to guard the back door to prevent the nearby Jin soldiers from coming back.  ¡±

    "yes."

    Shi Jin led a few soldiers to the largest mansion in Guanzhong. This mansion was originally the residence of the guard of Tiemen Pass, but after Wanyan Zonghan came, he was kicked out.

    The soldier quickly found a gold medal from the house and said happily: "That gold man is the commander of the capital, but I don't know if he was killed in the explosion."

    Shi Jin took the gold medal, which had several large Jurchen characters written on it, but he couldn't recognize it. He could only wait for the Intelligence Department to verify General Jin's identity.

    Don¡¯t say that he can¡¯t recognize it, not many people in the Jin Kingdom can recognize the Jurchen characters created in this life.

    It wasn¡¯t until dawn that all the ministries finished searching the pass, and only five prisoners were captured.

    The location of Iron Gate Pass is critical, and the thousand soldiers and horses stationed there are all Jurchens. These Jurchens are brave, and their first reaction when attacked is to fight with all their strength. Only a few Jin soldiers can't defeat them and escape.

    Only five of them surrendered intact, and all those who were injured and wanted to surrender were killed by Zhang Shisan. Shi Jin also learned that the culprit was actually Wanyan Zonghan, a member of the Jin Kingdom.

    After finding out that Wanyan Zonghan was one of the five giants in the Jin Kingdom, Shi Jin also felt that his meritorious service seemed a bit too hot to handle.

    Shi Jin looked at the half-burned Iron Gate, thought for a while and said: "Collect useful things in the Pass and transport them to the outside. Then collect fire-starting objects and prepare to burn the Iron Gate."

    The Jin people were not much cleaner than the grassland tribes. The soldiers of Daliang were really afraid that Shi Jin would want them to live in this smelly Guanzhong. After hearing Shi Jin's order, they immediately went to collect things in high spirits.

    Half an hour later, black smoke towered into the sky after the iron gate passed.

    Shi Jin returned with a full load of troops.

    In the afternoon of the same day, three thousand reinforcements sent by Tanzhou arrived at Gubeikou.

    On the second day after Shi Jin set fire to Tiemenguan, the first battle report was sent to Bianjing only after the gold medal was rushed.

    Chao Gai, Chao Yong, Jiang Jing, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu gathered in Chongzheng Hall.  The Ministry of War also required the Ministry of Husbandry to cooperate in terms of money and food, so Jiang Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, was qualified to participate in the discussion of the Ministry of War.  Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu were both doctors in the Ministry of War. Although their official positions were not high, they had made many suggestions for Chao Yong, so Chao Yong made an exception and was allowed to attend.  Otherwise, the only people qualified to discuss major military affairs in Daliang are the emperor, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the left and right ministers of the Ministry of War.  Of course, there is no trick of a show of hands. The emperor sticks to his word and can decide everything. All others can do is provide opinions to the emperor.

    "However, Chao Gai added another constraint to future generations. If everyone else vetoed it, the emperor could not act arbitrarily.  But this situation should be difficult to occur, and not everyone may dare to confront the emperor.  Of course, Chao Gai did not want his ministers to fight against the emperor together at every turn. When the country was at stake, it was enough that they could oppose the emperor together.

    Chao Gai saw that everyone had read the report and said, "If you have any ideas, please tell me."

    Chao Yong turned to look at Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu, and said with a smile: "You guys go ahead and talk."

    Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu gave in a little, and Xu Guanzhong said: "Let's talk about the attack on the spaceship by the sea turtle first. The Kingdom of Jin also sent a few sea turtles to the emperor. This sea turtle has a ferocious surname, so it is very popular.  Maybe it was Hai Dongqing who took the initiative to attack the spacecraft, as Jin Ren said."

    Zhu Wu also said: "We, Daliang, have just conquered all the grassland tribes, and have formed an encirclement against the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, our Daliang army has strong soldiers and horses, so the Jin Kingdom should not dare to initiate a war."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "It may have been an accidental injury, but one of my soldiers from Daliang did die. It is reasonable for Shi Jin to take people to ask for Haidongqing and his master."

    No one in the palace thought that Shi Jin should leave seclusion.

    Xu Guanzhong nodded and said: "What the prince said is that accidental injury of human lives is also guilty. It is reasonable for Shi Jin to demand the capital of the culprit. Jin Bing refused to hand over Haidongqing and its owner, which was a bit disrespectful to me, Daliang Guowei, and then there was a conflict.  He also led troops to attack Gubeikou, and even more provoked me, Daliang."

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "What Xu Qing said is that the Jin Kingdom's attack on our Daliang Pass is to provoke our Daliang. However, we cannot retreat on this matter."

    Zhu Wudao: "It is severe winter weather now, and it is even colder in the Kingdom of Jin. The Jin people are fighting in the ice and snow."?When I grew up, my Daliang soldiers were less resistant to cold weather. If we sent out troops at this time, we would be occupied by the Jin soldiers at this time.  "

    Needless to say, the geographical advantage is advantageous. If we want to attack the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom must have the advantageous geographical location.

    There are only people left in Daliang. Although there are still some religious elements in the country who are still unwilling to give up, the army is united as one.  Huge military spending is not useless.

    Jiang Jing was the only moderate and said with a smile: "We can be polite first and then fight. If the Jin State hands over the Jin people and Hai Dongqing who caused the trouble, and then also hands over the Jin generals who attacked Gubeikou, we can also not use force.  . The Kingdom of Jin is poor, and we will gain little if we conquer it.¡±

    Chao Yong also nodded and said: "What Jiang Shangshu said is reasonable. Then we will first send envoys to protest to the Kingdom of Jin and demand that the Jin people and Haidongqing who caused the incident, as well as the Jin generals who attacked Gubeikou, be buried with the injured and wounded soldiers, and then we ask for  Some compensation. If the Jin State agrees, that¡¯s it. If the Jin State refuses, we will send troops to seek justice for the wounded and wounded soldiers.¡±

    Chao Gai thought for a while and said: "The Jin Kingdom is poor, so we need one hundred thousand guan. I will prepare a letter of credence and send it to Hebei as an envoy, so that Hebei can send envoys to the Jin Kingdom. You must also be prepared for war.  My beam cannot be attacked in vain."

    Chao Yong clasped his fists and said: "Father, don't worry, I will let the troops from Hebei and Grassland gather together. As long as the Jin Kingdom does not know how to promote, I will use my troops to wipe out the Jin Kingdom."

    Before the imperial edict and credentials from Bianjing were sent to Hebei, another battle report from Hebei was sent to Bianjing.

    Chao Gai and others gathered together again to discuss the matter.

    "Shi Jin was really bold when he led troops to raid Tiemenguan and killed Wanyan Zonghan, the leader of the Jin Dynasty."

    Everyone didn¡¯t know what Chao Gai meant, and they didn¡¯t dare to make random remarks.

    Chao Yong said with a smile: "Anyone who offends our strong men will be punished even if they are far away, but Shi Jin is decisive in his killing. He raided Tiemen Pass that night. Heaven does not tolerate insults, and Shi Jin did a good job."

    Chao Gai did not mean to criticize Shi Jin, and nodded: "Shi Jin did the right thing, but the Jin Kingdom is dead and the war is extremely fierce. I am afraid that they will not let it go. It seems that we are ready to fight."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "This matter was originally the fault of the Kingdom of Jin. If they wanted to fight, I, Daliang, would simply destroy them. There shouldn't be any country in the world that can be on an equal footing with me, Daliang."

    Chao Gai said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go deep into the Northeast this season."

    "Our army is not good at fighting in bitter and cold places, but the grassland tribes are similar to the places where the Jin people live. There are one hundred thousand vassal troops on the grassland road to pay, and they will be used to wipe out the Jin Kingdom. With the grassland tribes as the main force, our army  As an assistant, we should be able to wipe out the Jin Kingdom."

    ¡°Except for Japan, the Kingdom of Jin is definitely the country that Chao Yong wants to destroy the most. How could he not have thought about this issue?  (To be continued.
