I Can Control My Ancestors

He did not stay in the safety of the rear but instead led from the front, standing at the very forefront of the charging troops!

In that utterly exhausted body, it seemed as if some kind of Divine Power had been infused. At this moment, he stood upright like a battle flag!

This is Gu Jin.

He was different from all the previous members of the Gu Clan.

Even though he knew that his life was crucial to the whole situation, and he shouldn’t take such risks, he still made this choice.

This is his ambition in this life!

To fight on the battlefield, rather than to sit in the court.

He had already done enough for the Great Song.

At least now, Gu Jin wanted to pursue his own ambition!

"Boom——!"

"Boom——!"

"..."

The sound of ramming the gate kept exploding, accompanied by screams, composing the most heroic requiem in the dark night.

The Liao Army was in complete chaos.

Even though their response could be considered extremely swift, they ultimately suffered from lack of preparation.

This was an attack from both above and below.

With life and death on the line, even the strongest mental fortitude would inevitably feel panic in such a situation.

Not to mention that those who weren’t sent to the front line at this time were not truly elite!

"The gate is open! Charge!"

In just a moment.

The pressure from above and below finally broke through Gubeikou Gate.

The troops, poised and ready, surged into the city like starving wolves that had just spotted their prey.

"Block them! Quickly, block them!" Yet some Liao soldiers refused to give up, organizing forces to try and block the gate passage.

Arrows rained down like droplets from the city walls on both sides, and rolling logs and stones crashed down!

The charging Song Army had many hit and fall, crushed by the stones, but those behind them continued forward without hesitation, stepping over their fallen comrades!

The narrow gateway turned instantly into a blood-soaked mill, each step forward paved with sacrifice!

Everyone’s eyes were red, filled with only one thought at this moment.

— Charge in! Capture this pass!

Gu Jin was no different.

This time, he didn’t even think of restraining the soldiers’ desires or preserving their lives.

He absolutely couldn’t do that.

The soldiers on this mission had already given so much.

No matter what, they had to let loose and achieve enough military merit.

The great battle erupted!

The flames of war completely enveloped the entire Gubeikou.

Gu Jin was also killing the enemies!

The long spear in his hand was like a dragon. Though it no longer had the speed and ferocity of his youth, it had gained the ruthlessness and precision of a seasoned veteran.

He didn’t fight recklessly, but always stayed at the core of the formation formed by his Personal Guard. Each thrust of his spear targeted the gaps in the Liao soldiers’ armor or their vital facial points, each strike drawing blood, with no wasted effort.

Wherever he went, the morale of the Song Army soared, unleashing remarkable combat power.

In this situation.

The entire Liao Army’s defense line collapsed rapidly, with many soldiers falling as soon as they left their camps.

There was no way to fight.

This is the essence of a surprise attack strategy.

It thrives on catching the enemy off guard, and everything Gu Jin sacrificed for this surprise attack further intensified this effect.

Who could have imagined Gu Jin would choose a surprise attack in such a stalemate situation?

One wrong step leads to another!

This even surpassed Zhao Kuangyin’s act of using himself as bait in the past.

For despite everything, Zhao Kuangyin had never opted to face danger alone.

But now, Gu Jin had done so!

This isn’t to say Gu Jin’s courage had surpassed Zhao Kuangyin’s, but that no one even conceived such an idea.

And this, in fact, sealed the outcome of this battle.

.....

When the midday sun completely dispersed the smoke of war, lighting up this war-torn gate city.

Gubeikou finally fell completely silent.

Only the sound of Song soldiers clearing the battlefield and the occasional groans of the wounded remained.

Gu Jin leaned on his long spear, standing at the city’s central crossroads, gasping heavily.

Sweat and blood soaked his armor, dripping down the edges of his armor plates.

He surveyed the ruins, the devastation, the shattered walls, the bodies intermingled; the joy of victory was diluted by the great sacrifice, leaving only heavy exhaustion and sorrow.

"Grand Tutor! The remaining enemies inside the city have been basically cleared! Our army... our army has completely controlled Gubeikou!" Cao Bin, dragging his exhausted body with multiple wounds, came to report, his voice hoarse but filled with irrepressible excitement.

Gu Jin nodded, wanting to say something but suddenly coughing violently, almost losing his balance.

Cao Bin and the Personal Guard beside him hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"It’s nothing...." Gu Jin waved his hand, suppressing the metallic taste in his throat, and ordered with all his strength. His voice was weak yet exceptionally clear: "Order the three armies to rest immediately."

"Immediately consolidate the three armies."

"Select from each camp those capable of battle, tomorrow follow me to counterattack Juyong Pass!"

Gu Jin’s orders were clear and resolute, despite his body being pushed to its limits, there was no hint of hesitation.

—The surprise attack on Gubeikou was merely preparation for breaking the stalemate at Juyong Pass.

Now, he had only completed the first step.

Relaxing was not an option!

"Grand Tutor!" Cao Bin exclaimed in shock upon hearing this, looking at Gu Jin’s staggering figure, and urgently said: "Our army, after this bloody battle and long march, is exhausted, we need rest!"

"If we attack Juyong Pass now, I’m afraid... I’m afraid we lack the strength!"

"Why not hold Gubeikou and wait for the main forces at Juyong Pass to come and support us?"

Cao Bin was full of alarm.

He actually wanted to urge Gu Jin to rest well.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t say so directly because he knew Gu Jin wouldn’t agree, and his only option was to use this as an excuse to possibly persuade Gu Jin.

"The opportunity must not be missed, time does not wait." Upon hearing this, Gu Jin merely shook his head lightly, as if seeing through Cao Bin’s thoughts, he said solemnly, "If we don’t break Juyong Pass, Yan Yun will be hard to recover."

"This is the only chance."

His voice was very hoarse, his face was overwhelmed with exhaustion, but his eyes were still that determined.

Seeing this, Cao Bin hesitated for a long time, eventually nodded.

"Understood!"

As the true elite of the Great Song.

Even after experiencing so much, the army still didn’t lack warriors capable of fighting.

Gu Jin had never truly rested.

He was keenly aware of his current condition, if he exhaled deeply now, even if he wouldn’t die immediately, he’d be bedridden for several days at least.

This would inevitably delay the battle opportunities.

He had to make use of the current momentum to pass over the formidable Juyong Pass.

Time passed swiftly.

By the next evening, Gu Jin once again set out from Gubeikou, advancing toward Juyong Pass.

It’s worth mentioning that—

Cao Bin and the other generals tried to replace Gu Jin on this venture.

But Gu Jin refused them.

This was something only he could accomplish.

Without him, it would be difficult for his soldiers to muster fighting spirit, that was certain!

Moreover, Gubeikou was equally critical.

The terrain of Juyong Pass was too perilous.

Until Juyong Pass was completely breached, Gubeikou was equally vital, it couldn’t be lost, Gu Jin had to balance this, leaving enough capable warriors for Gubeikou.

—The situation was in complete turmoil.

Even though Gubeikou had been breached, the severe atmosphere persisted undiminished.

On the contrary, it was even more severe than during the surprise attack.

Gu Jin, at this point, was completely gambling everything.

If this battle couldn’t break Juyong Pass.

For the rest of his life, he feared he’d never step out of Kaifeng again, how could Gu Jin not cherish this opportunity?

The army sped forward.

Meanwhile, news of unusual happenings at Gubeikou was rapidly reaching the main Liao Army camp where Wang Yingchen was located......
