Yanmen County is the name of a county during the Warring States Period. During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao established it, and during the Qin Dynasty, it was located in Shanwu. Today, the northern part of Ningwu, the old prefecture of Shanxi Province, the southern part of Shuoping, and the eastern and northern part of Datong are all within its territory. It was also called Yanmen in the Han Dynasty.
Menjun governed Shanwu, in the south of present-day Youyu County, Shanxi Province. In the Han Dynasty, the county governed Shanwu, Woyang, Zhongling, Yinguan, Loufan, Wuzhou, Juyang, Nao, Pingcheng, Qi, Mayi, and Jiangyin.
and other counties.
The Later Han Dynasty moved the county to govern Yinguan, which is northwest of today's Dai County in Shanxi. The Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms moved it to Guangwu, fifteen miles west of today's Dai County. The Later Wei Dynasty moved it to govern the ancient Shangguancheng, which is the current county government. In the Sui Dynasty, the county was abolished and replaced by Dai.
The state was restored in the early days of Daye. It was abolished many times in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, it was called Daizhou Yanmen County, and in the Jin Dynasty it was abolished.
At this time, in Yanmen, the thick smoke rising from the fierce battle filled the entire city. The big flag with Li characters fluttering in the wind was already broken and tattered, and it seemed that it would fall down in an instant. Above the city tower
There were dead bodies lying on the ground, bleeding continuously, but no one stepped forward to clean them up. The thick smell of blood and sweat mixed with each other filled the air, making it pungent and unpleasant.
On the city tower, Li Ming and Meng Wu stared at the Huns army outside the city. The Huns outside the city finally retreated after laying down thousands of corpses. They successfully defended Yanmen Pass today.
Eighteen days have passed. During these eighteen days, the number of Huns continued to increase. From 10,000 on the first day, it suddenly increased to 80,000 on the fifth day. By the eighth day, Yanmen had closed.
A total of 150,000 foreign troops have gathered. From the fifth day to now, they have been fighting almost every day, and they are fighting at an overloaded level.
Of course, the Huns now no longer have 150,000, and even less than 120,000 are left. As for the missing 30,000, of course their bones have been buried at Yanmen Pass. Of course, the Yanmen army killed 30,000 enemies, and its own
The losses will not be small. Originally, there were less than 20,000 soldiers in Yanmen Pass, but now there are only 8,000 soldiers left, and almost all of the remaining people are injured. In order to reduce casualties and better guard the city,
Meng Tian had called on the people in the city to help defend the city a few days ago. The women helped carry supplies, while Qing Zhuang was responsible for throwing rolling logs and stones when the Xiongnu attacked the city wall. It can be said that Meng Tian had squeezed out every ounce of labor in the pass.
, but even so, Yanmen has also reached the time when the oil is exhausted.
The stock of arrows in the city has long been exhausted. The newly made arrows every day are not enough for the archers to use for several rounds. Even the houses in the city have been almost demolished. Except for the children who live in the last house, others are resting near the city wall.
In order to resist the next attack of the Huns at any time.
As for why Meng Tian was in command, it was because not long after the war broke out, Li Ming suffered from a lack of ability. If Meng Tian had not responded in time and led troops to block the gap, Yanmen Pass might have been gone by then.
It has to be said that although Li Ming's ability was insufficient, his decision brought a turning point in the Battle of Yanmen Pass. First, before the Xiongnu attacked the city and the number of people was still small, he decisively sent people to ask for support. Later, he
He decisively handed over all the power of Yanmen to Meng Tian, and he was willing to serve under him. It was only because of his full support that Meng Tian's orders could be implemented 100%, and Yanmen could hold on to this day without falling.
And Meng Tian lived up to expectations. He gave full play to his commanding ability. Even though the enemy was outnumbered, he deployed every force just right. While actively defending, he also caused huge losses to the Huns.
Kill.
In the Xiongnu tent, the arrogant and domineering Xiongnu Khan Yufuluo sat on the throne, holding a large glass of goat's milk wine in one hand and holding a young lady plundered from a nearby village in his other hand. Below him were
One by one, the leaders of the small tribes were attached to him. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the tent, before Yu Fulo could order anyone to check.
The big tent was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with a rebellious but determined face strode in. "Khan, why did our warriors of the Great Huns order to retreat today when it is clear that they are about to attack the tower?"
"Okay, Aguda, today's casualties are heavy enough, and our warriors also need to rest." Hufro said nonchalantly.
Yes, this person is Wanyan Aguda who was created by the system balance, and he also participated in this battle. These days, Wanyan Aguda watched the Xiongnu warriors fall one by one in front of Yanmen Pass, even though most of them were not from the Wanyan tribe.
A brave warrior, but he still felt that his heart was bleeding. The Xiongnu had been declining in recent years, and the winter disaster had caused heavy losses. At this time, every young and strong Xiongnu was extremely precious, but they fell one by one.
The front. And it was these drunken idiots in the big tent who caused all this. If he followed his method to attack the city, not only could he avoid a lot of unnecessary losses, but he could also quickly break through the damn level ahead. But Humphrey
In order to prevent his reputation from growing further, he rejected his suggestions time and time again.
Looking at the rotten scene in the tent, Wanyan Aguda suddenly had the urge to tear Yu Fulo to pieces. "Patience, I must endure it. The Xiongnu cannot withstand internal strife now. As long as the Xiongnu survives this time,
I must get rid of these wastes and let the people of the Wolf God develop and grow again in my way." Wanyan Aguda thought to himself.
...
"Wu Libu, Wu Shu, you two should also go to attack the city this time. Yanmen is almost dying. If there is more pressure, it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back." Wanyan Aguda looked at it.
Yanmenguan said solemnly.
"Father, don't worry, the hungry wolves in the grassland will tear every enemy to pieces."
Qian Libu, Wu Shu, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi were the talents brought out by Wanyan Aguda. The other one was Wanyan Zongqian, but he did not come here, but guarded the tribe for Wanyan Aguda.
The implanted identities of the three of them are still the sons of Wanyan Aguda. It must be said that every son of Wanyan Aguda is a prominent figure in the world. The three of them have made great contributions to the establishment and development of the Jin Dynasty.
Among them, Wanyan Zongbi, also known as Jin Wushu to later generations, is the most famous. He was Yue Fei's lifelong enemy. Even though he was defeated repeatedly against Yue Fei, the Jin people still had to rely on him. This shows Wanyan Zongbi's ability.
.He was defeated by Yue Fei repeatedly, not because his ability was weak, but because the opponent he faced was too strong.
With an order, the Huns' attack began again.
I saw Wanyan Zongwang leading a group of cavalry to surround the city and suppress the Han army on the wall through cavalry shooting. Wanyan Zongbi, holding a big ax, personally led the charge. Groups of Xiongnu warriors carried simple ladders and charged to the death.
Fortunately, the Huns did not know how to make siege equipment, so Meng Tian was able to defend until now. Otherwise, no matter how strong Meng Tian was, the huge gap in troops would crush him.
