The defenders of these passes never expected that the Yin army would bypass Yunzhou and appear in front of them. They only reacted when Lin Feng's men shot arrows at their heads.
The battle was almost a foregone conclusion.
Lin Feng led the troops and charged bravely to capture Gaoque Pass.
Lin Feng stood at the fortress he had just captured, his eyes looking over the rolling Daqing Mountains, to the north at the vast grassland, and to the south at the road he had come from, a feeling of pride welling up in his heart.
He succeeded!
He was like an iron chain, firmly blocking King Zhelan's retreat.
Now, unless King Loufan is willing to pay a huge price to attack the fortress, he can't easily go south to interfere in the Yunzhou war.
He immediately gave orders: strengthen the fortifications, prepare more rolling logs and rocks, and send scouts to conduct reconnaissance far to the north.
At the same time, he informed the central army and urged Shi Yong to come quickly.
......
When the news of victory on the right and success on the left arrived, Zhao Muyun's central army had just advanced to the city of Yunzhou.
Yunzhou City is the home base of King Zhelan that has been operating for many years, and it is also the only fortified city in the three states of Yun, Sheng and Feng.
The Tatar right-wing army was defeated, and Wuliangha and Bater fled back to the northern desert. King Zhelan secretly preserved his strength. He still had 5,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of troops.
But in the past month, Zhao Muyun has blocked the border and done a thorough job of keeping intelligence confidential.
When Zhao Muyun's central army crossed the Xichuan grassland and was only two hundred miles away from Yunzhou, King Zhelan learned that Zhao Muyun was coming to attack him.
At this time, King Zhelan notified the Mobei Chanyu or King Loufan to come to help for at least half a month.
After seeing the power of Thunder Bomb and Mo Dao, King Zhelan dared not leave the city to fight in the field. He resolutely sought help while defending the city.
As long as he could hold out until the Chanyu's army arrived, Zhao Muyun would retreat without a fight.
But Zhao Muyun did not give them any chance to fight a protracted war.
Zhao Muyun ordered Wu Shangzhi and Guo Luo's cavalry to advance into the range of the compound bows and suppress and cover with a rain of arrows.
Then he ordered Liu Yi's Shenjiying to send out ten people, carrying ten special thunder bombs with twice the explosive capacity, to rush to the city gate and then ignite them together!
“Boom!!”
“Bang!!”
The explosion was deafening, and half of the city gate was blown down in an instant.
The defenders were terrified by the devastating power. They were stunned and trembling.
"Modao Camp! Advance!" Xi Sheng roared.
Five hundred heavily armored warriors, like a steel wall, began to move towards the battered city gate.
Their existence itself is a huge psychological deterrent.
Following behind them were two thousand Shuozhou infantrymen holding shields and swords!
At this moment, a horse galloped over. It was an elite scout under Tang Yanhai's command:
"Report to the General! We have spotted a group of approximately 2,000 Tartar cavalrymen rapidly approaching from the northwest!"
This should be the tribal coalition that King Zhelan called for support.
A cold light flashed in Zhao Muyun's eyes:
"Just in time! Guo Luo, Wu Shangzhi, lead the cavalry to meet them and defeat them! Show the Tartars who is the master of this grassland!"
"Understood!"
Guo Luo and Wu Shangzhi were extremely excited.
They immediately led 2,000 elite cavalrymen equipped with broadswords, composite bows and partial horse armor, like two dragons, to meet the Tartar reinforcements.
On the grassland, two cavalry units are about to collide.
Will the Tatar cavalry be superior or will Zhao Muyun's cavalry come out on top? Let's wait and see!
