On June 17th, Lu Longsai was three hundred miles east of Youzhou.

The scorching sun in the sky shines on this important gate that has stood here since ancient times, resisting countless foreign invasions for the Central Plains, scorching every brick and every inch of rammed earth on the gate, and also scorching the hearts of many soldiers guarding the gate.

The hot climate made the guards standing on the city sweat profusely and their lips and tongue dry, but they could not go down to the city to rest. They could only raise the water bag on their bodies and carefully pour the water into their mouths, moistening their throats and mouths, alleviating the hard-to-be-heat heat.

"Female... Will the Jurchens really come from here to attack me Nanjing?" The two guards who were quite close could not help but whisper, but before the other was waiting for anything to say, a low shout from the guards of this pass came from behind: "Everyone lifts up the spirit, and behind us is Nanjing City, so we must not lose it. Even if there are 100,000 Jurchen soldiers this time, we will still turn them..." Before he finished speaking, his voice was suddenly cut off, and then his cow eyes stared at the wilderness in front of the pass.

In a trance, he had already seen an army charging forward like a cheetah in the bright white sunlight. The speed was nowhere near the galloping horse, but the troops below were clearly infantry. This made the guards think that all this was the illusion that they had caused by the hot weather. They immediately raised their hands and rubbed them on their eyes, but everything in front of them did not disappear, but became clearer. The army that was rushing towards them was closer to the main gate of the pass.

"The enemy attacks, the Jurchens are attacking! Prepare to defend the enemy!" A sharp roar quickly rang at the top of the city. Whether it was the guards on the city or the soldiers resting below, they all cheered up. They quickly took out all the weapons to defend the city and put them on the top of the city.

And while their busy preparation process, the Jin soldiers who had just been ten miles away had already reached within three miles. Then, a loud and sharp trumpet sounded from the middle of them, and the other Jin soldiers made strange screams, like tigers and wolves pounced on their prey, and they rushed straight to the main gate of the pass.

This scene almost stunned the defenders here. You must know that Lulongshe is an extremely important pass in the north. Even though the Liao Kingdom is not as strong as before because of its lack of defense and national strength, the wall is still more than eight feet high, and it is dozens of feet on both sides, blocking the Yanshan Mountains that stretch more than ten miles, just like a knife stabbing the ground. It is really a dangerous place where a man can't open the pass. Even if a hundred thousand troops rushed over and equipped with enough siege weapons, it is probably not that easy to take it down.

But the Jin soldiers in front of him were only tens of thousands, and except for some of them wearing leather armor, they almost rushed over with their shirtlessness. It really made people unable to believe that they could pose any threat to Lu Longsai.

But even so, the guards still did not dare to be careless. In the voices of orders, countless crossbows had already pointed at the people below, wood, stone, gray bottle, turd oil... all kinds of weapons that should be prepared were in place. They just waited for the enemy to approach the city wall and gave them a headache.

The defenders all believed that with their absolute geographical advantage from a high position, even if there were only 3,000 soldiers here, they would be enough to defend the barriers and would still severely damage the Jin soldiers who were heading south.

"Prepare for me-!" Seeing the enemy's constant approaching, the guard began to estimate the distance between the two sides, his hands were raised high and ready to fall at any time.

But just as he was about to blurt out his words, the running Jin soldiers stopped suddenly, then bent their knees and condensed, lit up their huge long bows in front of them. After pulling the bowstrings, a rain of arrows flew straight towards the city like raindrops.

It was tens of thousands of arrows covering the sky and the sun, almost completely covering up the scorching sun above my head, and completely covering the entire wall of the main entrance of Lulongsai.

This time, it was too unexpected to the defenders, because the enemy's stopping position was still outside the range of their crossbows, but the Jin soldiers' bows and arrows could shoot nearly 150 steps at a time, and even shot up the city, really caught the defenders all over the city off guard.

The arrow that came soared and fell on the soldiers guarding the city in the blink of an eye. It hit the banana leaves like rain, and instantly nailed hundreds of crossbowmen to the city wall, leaving almost no living mouth. The guard only had time to scream, and it turned into a huge hedgehog and fell down with a bang.

The defenders below the city of Guancheng were stunned and stared at the scene before them, completely unable to accept that such a result would occur, so that they all lost the ability to judge and act at this time, and forgot that the most important thing they should do at this time was to rush up and defend Guancheng instead of their dead robes.

The Jin soldiers below could not give them a chance to make up for their mistakes. As the arrows flew out, they had run forward with all their might again, rushed to the city at almost the same speed as sharp arrows, and then shook hands and threw out thick and long ropes made of vines and grass, all of which were steadily tightened the city wall. Then they pulled their hands together, and the people were already rushing upwards.

In just half a cup of tea, thousands of Jin soldiers were already attached to these hundreds of ropes. They used their hands and feet to climb to the top of the city with an extremely fast and strange movement. With each pulling and pedaling of their feet, their bodies could quickly rise up a large part. The seemingly tall and majestic Lu Long Fortress was under these Jin soldiers, but there was no obstacle at all.

This is the secret trick of the Jurchen clan rising among the white mountains and black waters. In the past, in the steep and changeable mountains and forests, in the cliffs that were chopped by a knife and axe, they used this method to fly up and down, in order to exchange for some mountain delicacies that could get a little food. It can be said that as long as the Jurchen men became young, they all had the amazing ability to fly over the eaves and walk on the walls. This eight-meter-high wall is really not much different from the flat ground.

So, when the defenders below the pass finally came to their senses and shouted and rushed to the city, wanting to defend again, a head of a person appeared on the outside of the pass. They had just raised their swords to wait for the enemy to kill them, and the heads of the people had suddenly swept up and flew up the city like an eagle. Then the sharp blades in the hands of these people were already flashing with cold light, and they first slashed into the defenders' neck and chest, killing them on the spot!

As the Jin soldiers completely gained a foothold on Guancheng, the subsequent battle completely lost suspense. This was no longer a battle, but a unilateral massacre. The Guanzhong defenders were already brave enough to organize any useful counterattacks. They were quickly swallowed up by the Jin soldiers from the upper city below, and were finally completely driven back to the rear and escaped from Lu Longsai.

In just a short time, this important barrier that was highly anticipated by the Liao people was defeated by the Jin soldiers, but they did not stop. Seeing the defenders fleeing, they chased them without hesitation. In an instant, the shouts of killing and screams rang out inside and outside the Lulong Fortress, which scared many birds around them so much that they flew away. They didn't dare to come back in a short time.

In the city of Guancheng, there were countless corpses, and blood had already passed the ankles of the people below. As the door opened, more Jin soldiers rushed in like a wave. Looking at everything here, the generals in charge even laughed wildly: "The Liao Kingdom is an eagle whose feathers were removed. Next, what they have to face is death!"

To the south of the city of Guancheng, when the last Liao soldier fell in a pool of blood, the Jin soldiers stopped and turned back to the pass. Although this battle was completely crushing and massacre, a surprise attack still consumed a lot of the elite Jin army's strength, so they obviously planned to take a break here and wait until the army in the rear arrived and head south.

After this, it was not until the sky was getting dark that a larger number of teams came slowly. It was the main force of the Jin soldiers who arrived. There was a huge yellow dragon flag flying high in the middle, which represented the big flag that the Jin Emperor Wanyan Agu fought.

As this army entered Lulongsai, there was even more cheers. Obviously, the Jin army was full of confidence in the next battle. They believed that under the leadership of their kings, they would be able to completely swallow the Liao Kingdom, and even the Song Kingdom, further south, would become the next victim under their iron hooves.

The cheers and screams spread around Guancheng with the wind, and finally spread along the long valley and canyon to the dark forest.

If all the trees in these forests fall into leaves in winter, and after heavy snow, even those in Lulong Sen, who are miles away, can see that the situation in the forest is different. In the depths of the forest, countless figures are hidden in it.

But unfortunately, it is midsummer now, and it is the time for the most lush trees of the year, so the figures of the mountains that stretch more than ten miles and standing dozens of feet high were all ignored by the Jin soldiers in the pass. However, their every move was all taken in the eyes by the ambush soldiers at high places.

When they saw that Lu Longsai was attacked by them so easily, many ambushers also showed panic on their faces, thinking about what would happen if they were in it. Then, after seeing those robes being chased and massacred by the Jin soldiers, they were all furious and wished they could kill them now to take revenge.

But they also knew that if they faced a head-on battle, even if they had superior troops, they would be far from being the opponent of the Jin army. This was the bloody lesson that the Liao Kingdom had achieved through one great defeat after another. So today, they would join forces with the Song army and set up an ambush here, just waiting for the Jin soldiers to step into the ambush circle.

They believe that tomorrow will be the time to take revenge and kill all these Jin soldiers, because they have already fallen into the trap!
