Chapter 1443 Dashan Pass

Wang Junlin had already told him that all the captives from Boling County's surrendered troops would be sent to him. Although Cui Shenggang knew that Wang Junlin arranged for them to intercept the defeated troops in Boling County at this place, he probably intended to let them face these defeated troops in order to escape.

They worked so hard that they lost a lot of money.

But even if they understood this, they did not dare to have any extra thoughts in the current situation, and they had to hand over more than a thousand captives to Wang Junlin one by one.

When Dugu Changsu in the north led nearly 100,000 clan reinforcements to react and wanted to lead troops to rescue, Luo Shixin led the Tornado Battalion people from the neighboring county to suddenly attack them and intercepted them. Zhang Tiangang led a special team to use landmines and grenades.

Waiting for the sharp weapons to stop them, and at night, except for the loss of some men in a confused manner, they didn't get much closer to Boling County City. Seeing that it was difficult to accomplish, they retreated again.

…………

…………

As a result, the direct male descendants of the Cui family and the head of the family, Cui Shenggang, fell into the hands of Wang Junlin. Except for Daguan County in the north, which was occupied by Dugu Changsu, Boling County was all occupied by the Far Eastern Army.

After some coercion and inducement, Wang Junlin agreed to the Cui family's three requests, ensuring that the Cui family would be prosperous and wealthy, that they could serve as officials within Wang Junlin's system, and take Cui's daughter as a concubine.

With Wang Junlin's current credibility in the minds of the people in the world, what he said and the guarantee he made were true to his word. Cui immediately announced to the people of the world that he would surrender to Wang Junlin and cooperate with the Far Eastern Army to further control Boling County.

However, Wang Junlin only left one tenth of the millions of acres of fertile land under Cui's command. The other more than 900,000 acres were used to resettle the refugees and reward meritorious soldiers and officials.

Similar to Cui's treatment, other nobles in Boling County who had previously opposed the Far Eastern Army also dealt with this, losing most of their fields and retaining one-tenth of their own land.

On this day, more than 700,000 people in Boling County were extremely happy.

On this day, the remaining tens of thousands of county soldiers, county soldiers and officials in Boling County were overjoyed.

On this day, the Cui family and some nobles in Boling County were in complicated moods and could hardly control themselves.

On December 7, Wang Junlin left the Tiger Battalion, which suffered relatively heavy losses, to defend Boling County, and personally commanded the Whirlwind Battalion. The Xiongwu Battalion had 60,000 troops, plus 20,000 troops from Boling County and 20,000 troops from Xiongkuohai.

A total of 100,000 men and horses confronted the 120,000-strong coalition of Dugu Changsu and Dugu Changsu at the border between Boling County and Hedong counties.

Dugu Changsu's 120,000 troops are mainly located in Daguan County and the famous Dashanguan.

Wang Junlin personally led the army, not only to drive away the covetous coalition forces and seize Daguan County. He also wanted to seize Dashanguan, because Dashanguan is the choke point from Hebei to the counties in Hedong.

The strategic position is extremely important and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Moreover, Wang Junlin planned to attack Dashanguan directly, and Daguan County did not intend to pay attention.

Because Wang Junlin knew that once Dashanguan was obtained, Daguan County would be nothing more than a lone boat in the vast ocean that could capsize at any time. The most important thing was to completely cut off the connection between the clan alliance and Li Yuan's forces in Hedong and the transportation of grain and grass.

, the next step is to compete with Hedong Li Yuan and his son, who also have an advantage in geographical location.

There are only more than 20,000 defenders at Dashanguan, but the terrain is dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Although Wang Junlin made a lot of preparations in advance, he also knew that it would not be easy to win.

Before coming to such an important pass, the Military Intelligence Office had already collected a lot of information. Whether it was the strength of the troops in Dashan Pass, various deployments, or even the number of means of defending the city, etc., they all knew it clearly. It was precisely because they knew the situation at Dashanguan.

, so Wang Junlin came in person and made full preparations.

The attack on Dashanguan Pass was difficult, mainly because in addition to the high-rise Suizhuguan Walled City, many military villages, military forts, and two protruding ridges were built on both sides.

People can see that the key to breaking the city lies on these two protruding ridges. The guard of Dashan Pass is Li Yuan's general Li Hu. Apparently he also realizes this. There is a guard stationed on each of these two ridges.

Elite soldiers under command.

In fact, these military forts and military forts were built after Li Yuan took control of the counties in Hedong. Obviously, they were originally designed to prevent the Far Eastern Army from entering Hedong one day.

In order not to affect the attack on the main pass, Wang Junlin first concentrated his forces to capture the five military villages and two military forts on both sides.

At this time, the power of the Far Eastern Army's siege equipment was revealed. Giant trebuchets, gunpowder bags, grenades, giant nest vehicles, giant crossbows, guns, engineers to demolish walls, etc., various means were used one by one. Five

Within days, all the military forts and military strongholds on both sides fell into the hands of the Far Eastern Army.

During this process, because the strength of the Dashanguan garrison was far smaller than that of the Far Eastern Army and they were afraid of the Far Eastern Army's combat power, they never dared to come out to support them and could only shrink from the main pass.

The clan coalition forces in Daguan County also sent large forces to rescue them, but they were intercepted by the Far Eastern Army in the field. After several battles, the clan coalition forces suffered considerable losses, but they were never able to get within fifty miles of Dashanguan.

Under this situation, the Dashanguan garrison could only retreat and no longer posed any threat to the Far East Army.

On the sixth day, the Far East Army began to concentrate its forces to attack the main pass, but at the same time, there were already 500 special force soldiers led by Zhang Tiangang over the mountains and around the back of Dashanguan.

On the first day, the Far Eastern Army suffered nearly a thousand casualties and failed to climb the Guancheng Wall.

On the second day, the Far Eastern Army used gunpowder to blow up half of the city wall. However, due to the special terrain here, it still did not collapse. Unless the Far Eastern Army concentrated all the explosive quota this time, it would be possible to blow down the wall in one fell swoop. But how could Wang Junlin be willing to do so?

Use all the gunpowder here, and there are other ways to break the level.

On the third day, late at night, five hundred special force soldiers climbed up the mountain ridges on both sides from behind. Suddenly, the sound of killing on the mountain ridges was loud.

Li Hu, the guard general of Dashan Pass, is quite confident about the two men and horses commanded on the two mountain ridges, because these defenders are used to fighting in jungles and mountains, and because these troops and horses are all recruited from local mountain people.

, the most important thing is that in order not to shake the soldiers' military morale, Li Yuan specially took out some food to provide relief to the soldiers' homes. Therefore, the morale of the Dashan Pass garrison was also maintained. The two commanding troops were in the night battle.

In a familiar environment and with a favorable geographical location, although the Far Eastern Army was powerful, Dashan Pass guard Li Hu did not believe that the opponent could successfully attack by surprise.

However, these thousand people were facing 500 special forces soldiers, so the result was bound to be beyond his expectation. In just half an hour, two crucial mountain ridges fell into the hands of the special forces. In this battle, the special forces

The soldiers lost seventy-one in the battle.
