A fire that soared into the sky burned, and a large number of houses in front of the city gate were ignited. On the wide streets, soldiers holding dragon bird swords were everywhere. The fierce fire had been burning in Taigu Pass for a short time. The rolling smoke caused huge chaos under the flames. This scene happened to fall into the eyes of the Jurchens outside the city.

Li Shan knew that Cao Gan took a detour. Since he knew, he would naturally leave people to keep an eye on the movements in Taigu Pass. After receiving the report, he immediately gathered all the troops and rushed towards Taigu Pass again.

There is also an offensive and defensive battle in Taigu Pass. Cao Gan's purpose is naturally to kill the south gate of Taigu Pass. However, although he caught a guard off guard, the defenders of Taigu Pass were indeed very tired because of the power amplifier during the day. However, under the imminent environment of the army, they really did not have a good rest, but were in a state of not being able to sleep well. The only mistake was that they were too lazy to defend the direction of the capital.

The defenders of Taigu Pass reacted very quickly, but this time they faced extraordinary opponents. On the battlefield face to face, the Dragon Que Camp made tens of thousands of soldiers and horses sink to Yecheng in a short time. This kind of face-to-face fighting was their favorite way.

For the defenders at Taigu Pass, this experience is completely the opposite. The fierce offensive and defensive battle began, and every minute and every second the defenders fell. They could not believe how could there be such soldiers and horses in this world, wearing iron plates, and they were simply invulnerable to swords and guns. This evaluation was not the first time that Longque Camp encountered it, and I believe it was not the last time.

For the defenders, this was a very painful moment. There were not many defenders in Taigu Pass, because there were two large armies here, totaling more than 100,000, so they should not be attacked. The north is the direction of the capital, and they would not be attacked. However, enemies appeared on both sides of the front and back feet. Even in the midst of fighting, all the soldiers below Li Meng couldn't understand why this situation occurred.

The soldiers of the Longque Camp have a much simpler purpose. Don’t mention the defenders of six or seven thousand people. Even if the number doubles, they can still deal with them, unless they are tired of killing themselves. After a fight, under this kind of attack like bulldozers, the defenders of Taigu Pass were almost unable to hold on.

At this moment, the principle that disaster never comes alone again. The torches south of Taigu Pass were connected into a line, like a huge fire dragon getting closer and closer to Taigu Pass. Li Shan finally brought the Jurchen people back. Knowing that the city changes, he knew that it was most likely that Cao Gan had made progress. It was impossible for the defenders in the city to have internal conflicts, and there was no need for any special deployment. He directly let the Jurchen infantry carry the ladder to attack the city like daytime.

At the south gate of Taigu Pass, roars and shaking shouts of killing were constantly coming from outside the city, which made the situation in which the city was already in chaos even worse. The house was leaking and raining overnight was the best portrayal of the guards in Taigu Pass.

The defender of the city was desperately commanding the soldiers to stop the enemy from approaching, and not only urging the soldiers in the city to resist the Longque Camp's attack in the rear. The soldiers of the Longque Camp who had already entered the city, saw the chaos at the south gate of the pass, suddenly realized that it was the soldiers of their own camp who were sieging the city, and their amazing morale and combat power were bursting out. The hands of the sword became more powerful, and they cut down the soldiers who came up to block the ground.

This accompanied by the explosive power of the broken limbs and arms, the defenders who came to stop were like falling into an ice cave, unable to suppress the fear in their hearts, hesitated and dared not come up to fight.

Taigu Pass is a pass, not a city. Finally, under this two-way joint force, the Jurchen infantry finally managed to attack on the top of the city, successfully crossed the city wall and rushed to the city. After a motivated battle, the city gate was finally seized, so tens of thousands of Jurchen infantry rushed into the open gate. From this time on, the southern gate of the capital had been conquered, and it was only a matter of time before the resistance of the defenders in the city was wiped out.

After the city gate was opened, tens of thousands of enemies rushed in. With the power of the defenders, they could not resist it. As expected, after a great war, the defenders began to retreat step by step and were unable to turn the world back.

The defenders were compressed into a small area in the city, but after only a while, the defense line completely collapsed. At this time, resistance was ineffective. Li Meng, the guard of Taigu Pass who survived this attack, finally chose to surrender. In that night, the defenders of Taigu Pass had already crossed half of the corpses on the street, and they suffered heavy losses.

Cao Gan and Li Shan also met again in Taigu Pass. The subordinates of both sides were very tired and needed a certain amount of rest time. So after they were quickly detained the prisoners, they were asked to recover their energy quickly. The two were so excited that they discussed the next plan and knocked on the southern gate of the capital. A huge temptation appeared in front of them.

"The possibility of our troops directly conquering the capital is too low, and the King of Yan does not trust the Jurchens, nor can it be said that he does not trust the Jurchens. There is no need to worry about whether the troops on the battlefield are Hu people. But if we move troops against the capital, the general will not agree." Cao Gan moved his arms, which were a little overworked, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his face hidden in the darkness. "The capital is at the feet of the emperor and the center of the world. It is not good for the reputation of the King of Yan to spread it. Moreover, the city walls and garrisons of the capital are not comparable to the Taigu Pass."

Zhang Da and Li Shan have the qualifications to make their own decisions, but Cao Gan must remind him that as students from Yanshan Camp, they were not satisfied with the two guard leaders who were in their forties. The King of Yan didn't care about this, but they cared. After all, Sima Ji raised them and thanked them for their kindness to prevent these generals from being too presumptuous.

Cao Gan didn't think that these generals who came from escorts would be like in the future. In fact, generals who know a little about Youzhou know that the control of the entire army is not in their hands. If they have a rebellious intention, they don't know whether their heads will be removed without realizing it. As long as Sima Ji says something, it is a very amazing ability for these generals to command a thousand people.

"What do you think? How do we act after we enter the capital?" Li Shan didn't think too much. If he had this ability, he wouldn't have to wipe his butt.

Cao Gan pondered slightly, "The general's subordinates are all Jurchens. Although they can also fight in infantry, they are not professional infantrymen. Moreover, the capital is the most powerful city in the world. Before he was betrayed, the Changsha King had relied on Luoyang to defeat Sima Ying and Sima's attacks several times. Even if the Dragon Crown Camp was added, our two troops were only more than 30,000 troops. It is not advisable to attack the capital. It is better to think about how to support the King of Yan. Sima Ying went out all the way to advance east. As expected, Zhang Da should have led his army to the King of Yan. Even if he faced the King of Yan head-on, he would not be afraid of Sima Ying."

"Since that's the case, you and I don't need to do anything, but let Sima Ying know that his retreat is unstable. In fact, since Taigu Pass was conquered, we have firmly stood up to the initiative. Now we consider how to win, but how much victory can be achieved. Cao Gan has no talent, so don't be surprised by the general. Sima Ying's nest is in Guanzhong, and it is the team left by the King of Qin, plus the Yizhou troops brought out by his own country. As for the imperial guards in the capital, they have much sympathy for the King of Changsha. Even if Sima Ying replaced many generals of the imperial guards, he would not erase all the influence of the King of Changsha in a short time, so the troops in the capital are actually not important, and this is not a place he can control."

"We must let Sima Ying not return to Guanzhong, and all the troops under her jurisdiction remain east of Tongguan. Once successful, Sima Ying's army will lose its foundation. The King of Yan is about to wipe out the world. If Sima Ying's army returns to Guanzhong, I don't know how long the war will last. The King of Yan has also said several times that he does not want the war to last for many years."

"Don't let Sima Ying return to Guanzhong?" Li Shan said one by one, and a hint of recognition flashed across his face. Youzhou supported the war with the power of a state, which relied on Sima Ji's ten years of hard work, as well as the relationship between Zhanzhou and Funan, and the existence of a canal between Luoyang and Jicheng. Even so, the war against the world with a state will definitely not last long.

This is also the reason why Sima Ji's first choice was to fight head-on without evading when he saw the enemy army coming. Although the decisive battle was extremely risky, it was the most suitable way of fighting for the Youzhou army. Victory after one battle was equivalent to destroying an opponent as a whole, and slowly grinding down and hurting Youzhou.

After crossing Luoyang, the convenience of the canal will no longer exist. At that time, the cost of transporting grain and grass will increase, causing Youzhou to start scraping the land. If Sima Ying escapes unscathed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"In this way, when we go to Hulao Pass, the defenders in the capital should not come out." Li Shan thought for a while and was also asking Cao Gan's opinion.

"I'm afraid that there are vassal kings in the capital who will hold the emperor hostage and leave the capital. You must know that a hundred years ago, Dong Zhuo had been attacked and moved the capital. This matter must be guarded against. General, we are circling outside the capital, which should be enough for the kings in the capital to dare not act rashly." Cao Gan wanted to agree with Li Shan's words, but when he thought of another possibility, he temporarily opposed, "It doesn't take many soldiers to cut off the road to the capital. If the defenders of the capital go out of the city to fight, we may not be afraid of them."
