Chapter 65: Digest 3

The Dongguan Arrow Tower is not the main building, it is only a little over two meters. The rebels brought dry firewood and lit it with tinder oil. For a moment, flames and thick smoke rose.

The air was hot, the smoke was choking, and the red flames were turning upwards. The few remaining soldiers gathered on the top of the arrow tower, and it was difficult for people to open their eyes, and they could only hear the sound of coughing.

Qiu Min stood up with a knife and stood up with difficulty, looking down in front of the arrow window through the smoke. Cheers were shocking the sky not far away, and countless soldiers were entering the pass through the urn city. The big flag in the dark night was particularly eye-catching. His eyes showed a look of despair, and he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

The fire surged into the sky, and the arrow tower collapsed in the burning of the fire and eventually turned into ashes.

When Zu Kuan heard the shouts of killing from the pass, he thought something had happened in the pass, so he hurriedly summoned his troops to help.

These days, small groups of treasury troops continued to cross the Great Wall and were preparing to bypass Juyong Pass and kill to the capital. The cavalry he led was moving quickly and did not enter Juyong Pass, but was specifically responsible for clearing out these treasury troops outside.

Because there were not many trespassers each time, the official army was able to defeat them quickly. But they arrived one after another, and every time they received an alarm, Zu Kuan had to lead his troops to attack. Several times a day, the soldiers were extremely tired. That night, he had just intercepted a group of trespassers and cut off hundreds of heads, and heard something changing inside the pass.

Zu Kuan led his troops to hurry up and finally arrived outside the pass. But the gate was closed and he was not allowed to enter. He also said that there was nothing wrong in the pass and asked him to leave quickly. Zu Kuan listened to the shouts of killing from inside, how could he believe it? He shouted that Tang Tong would come out to see him, otherwise he would attack the city directly.

While the two were stalemate, hundreds of official troops who were unwilling to surrender in the pass suddenly rushed over. They killed the defenders at the Sanchengkou, opened the gate to welcome Zukuan into the city, and told Zukuan the news that Tang Tong had rebelled against the rebel army.

Zu Kuan was irritable and became furious after hearing this. He lit up his soldiers and immediately rushed into the pass. Because most of the Tang Tong army was attacking Qiu Minyang, there were not many soldiers who intercepted him. He moved forward, unstoppable, and rushed straight to the location of the Tang Tong General's Mansion. There were strife inside the pass, and soldiers fighting each other were everywhere.

A rain of arrows fell, and dozens of soldiers were shot and fell down from the horse. The warriors who had just fought desperately turned into a ball of mud under the horse's hooves. Dozens of soldiers holding mud guns occupied the high ground and kept firing. The smoke of gunpowder spread, and the sharp arrows and muskets formed an unstoppable protective wall.

They were Tang Tong's personal soldiers, only loyal to him, and they guarded the only passage to the general's mansion.

Zu Kuan shouted loudly and personally led his soldiers to rush forward, but every time he was blocked, soldiers were constantly injured and dropped, and the war horses that lost their master's control ran around in shock, and the losses gradually increased.

Under the continuous attack of feather arrows and muskets, the formation does not form, the formation does not form, and it is completely out of shape. Zu Kuan rode on the horse, and his armor was filled with feather arrows, looking like a hedgehog. He raised his long sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "Tang Tong, get out of here. I won't kill you today, I swear I'm not a human being."

Tang Tong stood behind, frightened and did not dare to respond. He just ordered the soldiers to defend them.

A cavalry rushed over in panic, "General, Qiu Futai was burned to death by Wang Xing in Dongguan. He is now leading his troops to come here, and the brothers are about to be unable to withstand it. Retreat quickly! Otherwise, the brothers will all fall into this place."

Zu Kuan said angrily: "Remove your grandma, you bear. If you don't kill this bastard, Tang Tong, I won't leave." As he said that, he grabbed a horse's belly and was about to continue rushing forward.

At this time, a rumbling sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the north side. Zu Kuan was stunned and looked at it. In the dark night, I couldn't see how many people were rushing in this direction. They were the pioneers of the vanguard of the army entering the pass.

The general next to him shouted anxiously: "General, hurry up and leave! Tang Tong has opened the thief to enter the pass. General..."

Zu Kuan roared in anger, "Retreat!"

There were chaotic soldiers everywhere in the city. There were Tang Tong's subordinate soldiers, Qiu Minyang's troops who escaped, Zu Kuan who entered the city, the newly rebel army and the official army who were unwilling to surrender to the city. Everyone was mixed together, fighting with each other, and they could not tell the difference between the enemy and us at all. There were firelight everywhere, the weapons collided, and the sound of killing was shocking.

Zu Kuan led his troops to retreat and ran all the way to the city gate. He encountered constant fighting on the road. When he arrived at the main street, there were less than 300 cavalry left by his side. The city gate was right in front of him, and suddenly an army of hundreds of people rushed over from the side. Each of them held a spear in his hand and stabbed it out suddenly. Suddenly, people were on their backs and overturned, and countless people fell off their horses and landed on the ground.

When Wang Xing heard that Zu Kuan had killed the general's mansion, he was very anxious and hurriedly led his troops to rescue him. But a cavalry was blocking the road, and when he killed the enemy, the rebels also entered the city. He simply stopped going to the general's mansion and chose to go directly to the south gate from the small road. He didn't know if Tang Tong had any trouble at this moment, but killing Zu Kuan would at least make him blame him for not too much. At this time, he happened to catch up with Zu Kuan who was about to leave the city.

When the enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.

Zu Kuan had a hundred people in his heart who wanted to kill Wang Xing, but he knew that he could not delay any longer. While shouting and calling the soldiers to evacuate from the city, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the opposite direction, and his personal guards followed closely behind. For a moment, people were crowded and people were intertwined. In the street fighting in the city, the cavalry was not superior. However, Zu Kuan was unstoppable. Wang Xing, who led dozens of cavalry, retreated step by step.

Wang Xing was panicked for a moment, lost his mind, and turned around and ran away. But he soon discovered that the alley was narrow and the cavalry's rushing momentum decreased, and it became the target of the spear. Although Zu Kuan was fierce, he could not move forward easily. He quickly stopped, kept scolding, and commanded the soldiers to move forward. But the soldiers were afraid and did not dare to move forward.

The subordinates and injured soldiers who lost their horses took this opportunity to leave the city quickly. Seeing that most of the soldiers had withdrawn from the city, Zu Kuan used a knife to strike the spear stabbed, turned the horse's head and ran towards the entrance of the city. But before he arrived, he suddenly heard a cry for help from behind, which was another army leaving the city.

Zu Kuan did not hesitate at all, turned the horse's head back again, so many times. When there was no sound, he tightly clamped the horse's belly and prepared to leave. Suddenly, a rain of arrows shot from above the closing door. His war horse was caught in an arrow and he fell to the ground. He fought overnight, and several more injured people were injured. Zu Kuan was covered in blood and got up with difficulty. The two personal soldiers quickly jumped off the horse and helped him up to the entrance of the city.
