Chapter 325 Recapture Yanhui Pass
Zar appeared on the city wall because he couldn't sleep and came out for patrol. Even he didn't expect that the Lu family army could enter the city.
Fortunately, Zar ordered the army to prepare for battle.
Zar didn't know why he gave this order. He was clearly certain that the Lu family army could not break through the city gate.
Perhaps deep down in his heart, he was already wary of Lu Chenyang.
This intuition saved him and bought the Tatars a little time.
The protective circle held up by Dong Zhe and others was getting smaller and smaller. They had been holding on for a quarter of an hour, and this quarter of an hour seemed too long.
The weapons and equipment of this group of people are the best in the current Lu family army because their mission is the most dangerous.
Dong Zhe was stabbed, but he gritted his teeth and persisted without even making a sound.
The brothers around him were all injured to some extent, but everyone tacitly agreed not to retreat.
Zu Xingwei has always been extremely strong, but at this time he was like a trapped beast, besieged by the Tartars.
He turned around recklessly with his long sword, and hit the Tartar with the sword, so that no one dared to approach him.
"Come on! You bastards, come on!" Zu Xingwei roared.
At this moment, the banditry that had been hidden in him for a long time emerged again.
The man who was pulling the mechanism looked up and saw a soldier stabbing Lu Ning with a spear. Lu Ning dodged in a hurry, but the Tatar in front of him slashed at him with a knife. This time he was unable to dodge and was hit in the shoulder.
Lu Ning could not help but kneel on one knee. The Tartar soldier's attack continued, and a knife was about to chop his neck. The soldier stared wide-eyed, watching Lu Ning roll quickly on the spot, and the knife missed.
An endless power suddenly arose in his heart. They were all struggling to hold on, just to buy them some time.
He yelled, "Ah!"
His aura infected his companions around him, and they also saw the situation of their comrades. The mechanism that could only be fully activated in half an hour was finally shaken at this time.
The gears turned faster and faster, and the boulder was half lifted up.
This half was enough for the Lu family army to rush in from outside the city.
The first to arrive were the elite troops led by Lu Chenyang himself, the same group of people from the underworld that Lu Chenyang had recruited in Yanquan County. From the moment they were recruited, all their training had been handled by Tan Feng, and even Yan Xing had never been involved.
This team completely obeys Lu Chenyang's orders and is his elite force.
The team rushed in, all of them holding their breath. They had waited too long outside, watching their comrades being shot and killed. When the boulder rose, they saw their comrades surrounded by the Tartars, struggling to hold on.
Isn't it just because his brothers are outnumbered? His brothers don't have reinforcements, their comrades have arrived.
The Lu family army rushed in with great momentum.
Yanhui Pass was breached again after four years.
This time it was its owner who came back and drove away the enemy who occupied it.
The Tatar army also quickly gathered and the two sides fought together.
This time, all the cards were revealed.
Lu Chenyang personally led his troops into battle, engaging in a fierce battle with Zar. However, a duel between two commanders could not be absolutely fair; neither could afford the risk of any injuries to their commanders. This was not a hearty duel, and the two remained inconclusive.
At least that's what they thought to each other.
But for the Lu family army and the Tatar army, the winner was already clear.
As the owner of this city, he naturally has an advantage.
There were three reasons for the defeat of the Tatar army. The first was that in the street fighting in the city, the Tatars' most advantageous cavalry did not play a role; while the infantry of the Lu family army relied on their formation to completely suppress the enemy.
Second, the Lu family army had arrived well prepared, having prepared for this battle for a long time. The Tatars, on the other hand, were completely unprepared, having only recently slept through the night before, and had rushed into battle in a panic. The fighting spirit of both sides was different.
Third, the Tatars relied too heavily on the natural barrier of Yanhui Pass. Yanhui Pass was known to be impenetrable, a place considered a symbol of safety. The Tatars had made the same mistake as Marquis Dingyong, believing their reliance on Yanhui Pass was infallible. So, when Yanhui Pass was breached and the Lu family army descended like a surprise force, every Tatar soldier felt a wave of fear.
If the Lu family army could even conquer the fortress of Yanhui Pass, what else could they not do? Psychologically, they had already developed a fear. How could they possibly win?
The Tatar soldiers were defeated and began to feel afraid of fighting.
Zar saw it and roared at them not to retreat, but his embarrassment and anger only made the soldiers even less confident.
The game is over.
No matter how furious or unwilling Zar was, he knew that it was too late to change the situation.
Retreat was his only option.
The Tatars retreated in an orderly manner, and Lu Chenyang did not pursue them.
Lu Chenyang still understood the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy.
When Zar left Yanhui Pass, he couldn't help but look back. This was a famous pass known throughout the world. His ancestors had always longed to break through it, looking forward to leading their people to the Han territory, where they could take root and multiply.
He had fulfilled his centuries-long desire, becoming a national hero. He had made history, and he was confident that he could lead his people to a wider world and change their fate and lives.
He almost did it.
Then I met Lu Chenyang.
Zar suddenly remembered what an elder in his tribe had said: "The Han people are weak and cowardly. When we are strong, they will choose to retreat, especially those high-ranking officials who are very afraid of death. But after hundreds of years, we still have no way to defeat them. Because in addition to the cowardly, they also have many tenacious people. Even if they are in dire straits, they will come back and never give up. The Han people are like the wild grasses that grow endlessly on the grassland. A heavy snow and a winter can easily kill them, but in spring, they will sprout again. The Han people will always have a hero when they are in dire straits." He thought for a moment and said, "We will also have such warriors who will lead our people to defeat them."
At that time, Zar thought he would become that hero. He did it, but he also met a Han hero.
He didn't beat him.
Zar left with resentment and resentment.
The huge rock behind him was slowly lowered and continued its mission of guarding the city.
This was Lu Chenyang's first time entering Yanhui Pass. Looking at the city, he was a little dazed.
Yanhui Pass, the famous Yanhui Pass, the Yanhui Pass that has been lost for a long time.
Finally, I got it back from his hands.
There was a sound beside my ears, it was the crying of Dong Zhe and others. All the Yanhui Army finally burst into tears at this moment, everything they had lost was finally found back.
Lu Chenyang raised his head and saw the sun hanging in the sky, overlooking the entire earth.
Everyone was very excited. This victory was so precious to everyone.
Many soldiers were injured this time, the most since the Lu family army started fighting. However, many of them did not have time to treat their wounds, but lay quietly on the ground, enjoying the hard-earned joy.
It's worth it, all of this is worth it, the injuries and deaths are all worth it.
Yanhui Pass is a special place for all the people who work hard. With it, they can feel safe.
Lu Chenyang took a deep breath and ordered: "Treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield."
At Lu Chenyang's command, everyone got busy.
The busiest person was Zhao Xi, the military doctor. There were so many injured this time that Zhao Xi was extremely busy.
Dong Zhe, Lu Ning, Zu Xingwei and others were the most seriously injured, and many soldiers were shot by arrows. The whole city was busy.
