I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1102: At Laoguan Pass, Sun Jian and Yu Jin
At this time, the morning mist at Wuzhou Julao Pass had not yet dissipated, and the walls of the pass were already covered with swords and spears.

Sun Jian's knuckles as he held the ancient ingot knife were turning blue and white, his tiger eyes narrowed into a slit, staring intently at the dark Hengzhou military camp below the pass.

This pass was originally a strategic location built along the banks of a large swamp. At this moment, the newly built deer antler wooden fence at the foot of the city wall was three people tall, with dark brown blood scabs hanging on the wooden spikes - those were the marks left by the Hengzhou vanguard who attempted a night attack three days ago.

"Tai Wen, thirty more crossbows have been added to the east section of the city wall."

The deputy general Huang Gai came trotting over wearing an iron helmet, with morning dew condensing on the tassel of his helmet.

"Alliance Leader Jiang sent 20 carts of kerosene over here, telling us to hold out until General Zhu comes back to help."

A thunderous laugh rolled out of Sun Jian's throat. The rotten silver armor on his body trembled with the laughter, and the crows napping on the eaves were startled and flew away.

He suddenly raised his sword and pointed it towards the pass. Where the sword was pointing, ten large red flags with black patterns on them that had the Chinese character "Yu" on them were erected outside the gate of the Hengzhou military camp and fluttered in the chilly spring breeze.

"Yu Wenzhe is a good picker of times."

Sun Jian lightly tapped the tip of his knife, and dark patterns appeared on the blade of the ancient ingot. It turned out to be a hundred-fold tempered steel mixed with fine iron from the Western Regions.

"Pass the order down, have Cheng Pu move the catapults forward another thirty steps, and push those sleds covered with rawhide to the battlements—"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of deafening war drums suddenly exploded at the foot of the pass, and the gate of the Hengzhou military camp burst open. Three thousand armored infantrymen poured out like a black torrent, and the shining spears and halberds formed a silver sea under the morning sun.

The leading general was wearing black armor and riding a majestic green-maned horse. Behind him was a group of strong and tall guards holding a general flag with the word "Ruan" on it. It was none other than Ruan Zhongweng, who was known as the "Bronze Man General" in Wuzhou today.

"This posture..."

"Has Yu Jin finally lost his patience?"

Sun Jian's pupils suddenly shrank, and the ancient ingot knife chopped heavily on the bricks, splashing a few sparks.

At this moment, in the Hengzhou military formation, Lan Dushou was holding the military order signed by Su Ye himself, leading Shen Yuan to move freely in the military formation and pass through the array.

The cloth shoes on Shen Yuan's feet had long been soaked by dew, but he stepped on the mess on the ground without caring - arrows left behind by the soldiers on duty last night, broken flagpoles, and even a broken spear half buried in the ground.

He would stop every three steps, and the white jade pillar that supported the sky would slam to the ground, shaking the soil within a few feet radius.

"What a great iron bucket formation!"

Shen Yuan suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, causing the flags above his head to tremble.

But the Hengzhou army was divided into teams of a hundred men, with the shieldmen forming an iron wall in the front, the spearmen piercing with cold light from the gaps in the shields, and the archers hidden in the formation, with the wolf-tooth arrows in their quivers glowing faint blue in the morning light.

What was even more frightening was the messengers shuttling through the formation, their red cloaks fluttering like fire and the flags in their hands waving. The entire formation was actually slowly wriggling like a living thing.

Lan Dushou was secretly shocked. This gibbon had such a sharp eye!

How could he know that when Shen Yuan was in their sect, he practiced battle formations with many fellow disciples all day long. Through watching and hearing, he became more or less familiar with the changes in battle formations.

At this moment, seeing that the Hengzhou army formation was moving like a clock, with even the outermost chevaux de frise stakes arranged in the shape of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, he already had some ideas in mind.

"General Shen, please look over there."

Lan Dushou suddenly pointed to a cowhide tent in the formation. In front of the tent stood a general flag with the word "Yu" in it. Under the flag stood a general in silver armor, who was looking out at the pass with his hands on a awning.

"That person is Yu Jin Yu Wen Ze. The lord has specially ordered him to lead 7,000 elite troops to defend this place to the death."

Shen Yuan looked in the direction where his finger pointed and saw a red-faced and bearded general standing beside Yu Jin. In his hand was a gold-painted one-legged bronze statue as big as a millstone, shining brightly in the sun.

Every time the bronze statue was hit by a general, a dent about an inch deep would appear on the bluestone ground.

"What a reckless King Kong!"

"Master Lan, please go and inform them that I, Old Shen, want to try the ingredients of this bronze general!"

Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he lifted the white jade pillar onto his shoulder, causing several Hengzhou soldiers behind him to stagger back. "Wait a minute, General! General Yu Jin holds the military order of General Xue Rengui, the current commander of Wuzhou. We must follow the rules..."

Lan Dushou was nearly choked by these words and quickly grabbed the sleeve of his cloth shirt.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yuan rushed out of the battle formation like a wild horse. His muscles were knotted under his cloth clothes, and every step he took left footprints about a foot deep in the mud. The white jade pillars were dragged behind him, sweeping away all the chevaux de frise along the way.

Suddenly, there was a series of clanging sounds of metal in the Hengzhou army formation. The shield bearers in the front row shouted in unison, and the shield wall spread to both sides like a tide.

"Who is coming!"

The bronze man beside Yu Jin shouted like thunder, and smashed the bronze statue in his hand towards Shen Yuan's face with the sound of wind.

If this blow was delivered, even the finest iron would have been deformed. However, Shen Yuan did not dodge or evade. The white jade pillar held the bronze man at an angle, and the two weapons collided, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

"Good strength!"

The veins on the bronze man's arms were bulging, but the bronze statue could no longer move down even a little bit.

Shen Yuan laughed loudly, and the white jade pillar suddenly turned over. With the huge force transmitted from the bronze statue, he flew into the air and kicked heavily on the breastplate of the bronze statue with the sole of his cloth shoes.

But after hearing a crisp "click", the bronze man took seven steps back, leaving deep footprints on the bluestone slab with each step. When he stood still, a clear shoe print was left on his breastplate.

"General Ruan, step back!"

Yu Jin finally spoke, his voice was hoarse but revealed unquestionable majesty.

"This is the general that General Xue specifically mentioned. The Lord specially dispatched this general to support Hengzhou. He is General Sun Wukong's senior brother? Is he really..."

He took off the sword from his waist, and the gems inlaid on the scabbard shone in the morning light.

"Haha, stop talking nonsense!"

"I, Old Shen, am here to kill Sun Jian! If you dare not attack the city, please open the gate and wait for me..."

Shen Yuan's white jade pillar slammed to the ground, and the dust within a radius of ten feet exploded.

"presumptuous!"

A black-faced general suddenly jumped out from behind Yu Jin, holding a pair of halberds that were like poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues.

Before he could finish his words, Shen Yuan's white jade pillar had already smashed towards his face with the sound of wind. The general hurriedly raised his halberd to meet it, but there was a loud "clang" and his double halberds were knocked out of his hands. The whole person fell into the formation like a kite with a broken string.

There was a sudden sound of gasps from the Hengzhou army, but Yu Jin just frowned slightly and waved the command flag in his hand. Twenty archers immediately rushed out of the formation, and all their arrows were aimed at Shen Yuan.

"General Shen, stop it!"

"This is a military order, ordering General Yu Jin to fully cooperate..."

Lan Dushou finally squeezed into the formation, holding high a scroll of military orders in his hand.

Yu Jin had a stern face as he glanced at the vermilion seal on the military order and suddenly chuckled.

"Commander Lan may have misunderstood. I received the order from my lord, which is to lead 7,000 elite troops to defend this place and cooperate with the operation. We must not act rashly."

He waved the flag in his hand again, and ten crossbows suddenly came out from the formation. The dark crossbow arrows were as thick as a child's arm, and the arrowheads were glowing with a cold blue light.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to explode, he suddenly saw a figure swaying on the city wall of the pass.

But when Sun Jian swung his ancient ingot sword and his personal soldiers behind him shouted in unison, two thousand fresh troops suddenly emerged from the pass.

Each of these soldiers was wearing double-layer iron armor and holding a spear more than 10 feet long. The shield bearers in the front row were holding huge shields covered with raw cowhide, with a layer of caltrops nailed on the shield.
