Five days later.

“What’s the name of this place?”

Dorgon stood on his horse and said seriously as he looked ahead.

At his feet was a rugged mountain road gradually rising. The end of the road seemed to be split by a giant axe. A narrow gap appeared on the ridge that stretched across the mountain. A small gate was crossed in the middle of the gap. The stone walls on both sides were winding outwards with the mountains and gradually disappeared into the green dense forest. However, there were no defenders on this city. Just like all the castles along his journey, both the defenders and the people fled, leaving only empty walls and food and livestock that they had not had time to take away.

"Longmen Pass."

Shang Kexi said: "Also called Suoyang Pass. After passing here and going to Xuanhua for more than 60 miles, there will be no obstacles along the way."

"Finally come out!"

Dorgon said with some emotion.

They entered the mountainous area from Dushikou and then followed Dushi Road. The road was full of mountains and ridges, which were similar to Changbai Mountain. The only thing that was fortunate was that both Kaiping Guard, Yunzhou Station, and Longmen Guards, the defenders and the people were all dispersed in the mountains and forests. Even the Kaiping Guards did not know that the Qing Dynasty was defeated, so the guards were extremely excited to kneel down to the regent.

"Let's go, pass the order and move forward all the way. You must cross Xuanhua before dark. We must stick to this last paragraph. As long as we pass Xuanhua, we will be no longer in danger!"

Then he said.

After saying that, he suddenly activated the war horse and soon arrived at the bottom of Suoyang Pass, but at this moment he suddenly felt inexplicable nervousness. He subconsciously looked at the sides, but there was no abnormality. He shook his head with a little self-deprecating look. He turned his head to look at the endless cavalry dragon on the mountain road behind him. Even though the 35,000 troops were still stretched for dozens of miles, the front team had actually passed Suoyang Pass, and the back team had not even walked out of Longmen Craft City at this time. The entire team meandered on the narrow mountain road in an extremely spectacular way.

Dorgon eliminated his distracting thoughts and urged his horse to pass through the narrow door opening of Suoyang Pass.

He didn't know that at this moment, in the mountains and forests, only half inside and outside, in the dense grass covered with trees, countless soldiers wearing green cloaks, covered with branches and even covered with grass, were waiting quietly. They were lying motionless, blending with the entire green background, and even insects crawling on them without letting them move. A few hares were eating grass on the soldiers. Behind a clump of rocks among them, an officer was tremblingly opening a small wooden box in front of him, and then took out a black weird thing that was not iron or wood from it, pressing it on a certain position with his trembling fingers...

"Hey, where has Jiannu been?"

The emperor's majestic voice suddenly came from inside.

The officer's hands shivered.

Then he held this object in both hands, just like holding the ancestral tablet, holding it high above his head and kowtowed, saying, "Go back, your Majesty, Jiannu's central army has passed Suoyang Pass!"

"Hey, I can't hear it clearly, please leave it to your mouth!"

On a hillside forty miles away, Yang Feng said impatiently with a police walkie-talkie.

"Back, your Majesty, the Jiannu Central Army had just passed Suoyang Pass, and it had dragged at least twenty miles behind it. The rear teams had just left Longmen Abram City at this time."

The sound on the walkie-talkie is much clearer.

"Array!"

Yang Feng shouted without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, he turned over and picked up the set of special giant bows and arrows to aim at a group of Qing army scout cavalry that had just passed. The giant arrow of one and a half meters and a long whizzed and flew out of his hands. Six Qing army scout cavalry who had turned terrified and turned heads fell down in a blink of an eye.

After dealing with them, Yang Feng led the Jinyiwei behind him to rush down the hillside. At this time, at the entrance of the Longyang River Valley, a large number of soldiers from the bandit brigade were rushing out from the dense forests hiding on both sides. Then, under the command of their respective officers, they hurriedly arranged in the valley. Even a cannon lifted the branches piled up on it as a disguise and quickly pushed to the designed cannon positions on the hillsides on both sides of the valley. The soldiers of the bandit brigade who completed the array carried the bandit guns with bayonets on their shoulders and followed their officers forward in combat formation.

"I see how you run away!"

Yang Feng said proudly with the walkie-talkie.

This is a huge trap, he wants to encircle Dorgon among these mountains in one fell swoop.

Of course, he could not have known Dorgon's whereabouts. In fact, the latter had just passed Yunzhou, and the defenders there had already come to report. After that, the Qing army was under his surveillance. When they arrived at Chi Castle, Yang Feng led the army into various ambush sites, and had been waiting here for a day and a night. Because Xiaoqian gave him a box of police walkie-talkies that he had accidentally obtained, he did not need to release a scout, nor did he need to use hot air balloons that were easily exposed. The Ming army hidden on the hills everywhere would use the walkie-talkies to report Dorgon's whereabouts to him by relay. He also contacted ambushes everywhere with the walkie-talkies and received his orders without the need for messengers to avoid inconsistency in the actions due to the time of information transmission.

Don’t underestimate this thing. In the wars of this era, information transmission is sometimes more important than cannons. Ambush is not a cannon sound in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and a great future emerges at the foot of the mountain ahead.

Obviously he was a great success.

There is indeed no obstacle between passing Suoyang Pass and Xuanhua, but the premise is that the Longyang River Valley is unobstructed. This narrowest valley and Suoyang Pass form a closed loop surrounded by mountains. In the middle is a small leaf-shaped basin that is thirty miles long and fifteen miles wide. Due to the limitations of the mountainous terrain, especially the tiny throat constraints of Suoyang Pass that have no way to surround, Dorgon, who can only move forward in a long dragon, cannot echo forward in front and back at all. If Suoyang Pass is cut off again, this long snake formation will be cut off, and he will eventually be forced to death in the mountain valley between this basin and Longmenwei.

It can be said that as long as Dorgon passes Suoyang Pass, there will be no hope.

The Ming army's hidden state did not last long. After only half an hour, after the formation of the bandit brigade was completed, a Niulu Qing army appeared in their field of vision. When the latter, who was also a vanguard, saw the red-clothed soldiers arranged in the Yamaguchi, they even subconsciously stunned for a moment. Then they turned around and ran away without hesitation. But at the same time they turned around, the eighteen mortar cannons that had just been set sprayed out flames first. In the sharp whistling sound, a series of flowering bullets suddenly exploded among them. Then the field cannons also roared, and the sound of the cannons instantly sounded the horn of the war.

"kill!"

In the Ming army lurking at Suoyang Pass, the officer holding the walkie-talkie just now changed his panic in the face of the magic weapon, pulled out his sword from his waist and roared and jumped up.

Next to him, soldiers from a battalion of soldiers shouted and jumped up. The soldiers who had entered the lurking position from the Qing army to the Longmen Guard to rest last night, and had been lying here for four hours, scattering branches and grass all over their bodies, jumping out like a group of attacking cheetahs, rushing straight to Suoyang Pass less than half an inside and outside. In front of them, because the mountain road was rugged and narrow, there were long queues of Qing troops who had slowly passed through the closed door. Although the main forces of the Qing army had already passed by at this time, there were guards who were at least five miles long east of Suoyang Pass. After the sudden attack of the Ming army, these elite Eight Banners immediately became in chaos, and then they jumped off their horses, took the bows and arrows to shoot at the Ming army.

But the latter rushed towards the city wall.

The soldiers from the sheds were full of strength in mountain combat. As hooks were thrown up the city walls one by one, they climbed up easily like monkeys. Then they pointed at the Qing army on the mountain road from a high place to pull the trigger. The Qing army fell in an instant with the dense gunshots. While these soldiers were reloading, the grenadiers quickly took out huge black gunpowder grenades and smashed them at the Qing army in Guanxi without hesitation. The Qing army was wailing in the explosion.

The special terrain with a long row on both sides of Suoyang Pass was hugely convenient for the Ming army who grabbed the pass. After two rounds of shooting, there were no Qing troops near Suoyang Pass. In the desperate eyes of the Qing army running wildly in the distance, the Ming army shot down a small number of Qing troops in Guancheng in a volley, quickly occupied this crucial Guancheng, and directly cut off the tail of the Qing army's long dragon. And while they occupied Guancheng, a large number of cavalry running wildly in the rear of the Qing army, behind the mountains east of Longmen Craft City, a large number of cavalrymen were running wildly. The Ming cavalry who had been lurking in the Eagle Owl before also received an order from the intercom. Not only them, but another spear infantry was also fighting out in the valley south of Suoyang Pass.

At this time, Dorgon was almost stunned.

The sound of gunfires that sounded almost at the same time made him realize that he had fallen into a designed trap.

But what can he do?

His 35,000 troops lined up into a long row that stretched forty miles, and a large part of them were squeezed on the narrow mountain roads on both sides of Suoyang Pass. Not to mention arranging attacks, it was not easy for the entire team to turn around. Because the distance was too far, he didn't even know what enemies he had encountered and how many enemies he had encountered. He could only hear the sound of cannons from afar and the same faint sound of gunfire. Fortunately, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and quickly recovered his calmness and entered a nearby empty small castle as fast as possible. At this time, the report from the front and back had just arrived, and then his nightmare came.

""Red Shirts?"

He yelled in disbelief by grabbing the messenger's clothes.

Well, the Red Shirts are their name for the bandits, and everyone knows that this new army is mostly with the Dog Emperor. These infantry and the Dog Emperor's Jinyiwei cavalry are the most feared combination on the battlefield.

"The prince is the Red Shirt Army, and the one who wins the pass is also the Red Shirt Army."

Another messenger said.

"This dog emperor, he really wants to kill him!"

Dorgon threw away the messenger and said with a bitter look on his face.
