Chapter 1718

On the Yanmen Pass.

A Qianhu stood on the city of Guancheng, looking at the rebels who had advanced to the gate, his face pale and bloodless.

"General, it's too much wind to shut up, so it's better to go downstairs and avoid them." The personal soldiers beside him whispered.

Qianhu turned around and looked at the personal soldiers beside him and asked, "Have the news of asking for help been sent out?"

"It has been sent out. At the latest tomorrow, reinforcements from Zhenwu Guard will arrive." The personal soldiers answered carefully.

As soon as the rebels appeared outside Yanmen Pass, the guards at the pass immediately sent out the news of the rebels' attack and asked Taiyuan Prefecture for help.

"That's good, that's good." Qianhu on the wall seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

There were less than 500 defenders at Yanmen Pass. This was because Datong fell into the hands of the rebels, and they were worried that the rebels would raid Yanmen Pass and enter Taiyuan Prefecture. Before Datong was occupied by the rebels, there were less than 200 defenders at Yanmen Pass.

Of course, there must be more than this defender in name, but there has been no war in Yanmen Pass for many years, and the guards at the pass have long become slackened.

"General, let's go down quickly, the rebels' cannons are pushed up." The personal soldiers persuaded Qianhu to come down from the wall.

Although Qianhu was afraid, he still glared at his personal soldiers fiercely and said, "As the general guarded by Yanmen, how can I leave my generals and run away alone, and pass on orders to guard Yanmen Pass. I will kill chickens and sheep to reward them tonight."

The personal soldiers on the side had to run to convey the orders of their head generals to other soldiers guarding the city.

The guards who had eaten oil and water less than a few times a year had their morale improved when they heard the news that they wanted to kill chickens and sheep at night. Some soldiers with strong force looked at the rebels outside the city and even showed a green light like hungry wolf.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of cannons came from the rebel formation under Yanmen Pass, and cannons flew towards the pass.

Qianhu, who was closing the wall, heard the sound of cannons and hurriedly bent down and hid, and shouted loudly in his mouth: "Fire the cannon and fire the cannon and fire the cannon."

There are several cannons on the top of Yanmen Pass, most of which are general cannons left during the Jiajing period. The longest of the year, the bowl cannon can be traced back to the Yongli period.

The sound of cannons kept ringing.

Three rounds of cannons passed, and the thousand households shouted at the soldiers who were operating the cannons on the wall: "Fire the cannons! Why haven't they been moving for so long? Do they still want to eat meat at night?"

He knew very well about the soldiers stationed at Yanmen Pass.

At this time, Xu Jinyin said that he was good at eating meat. Although Yanmen Pass can get salary every year, it is not as good as the border troops in the nine major towns. It is difficult for soldiers to get a person's food to fill, let alone a large family to support him.

Don’t just eat some food with oil or water, it’s hard to even fill your stomach, so as long as you promise to make a meal of meat, it’s more effective than anything else to boost morale.

"It can't be fired anymore, and the gunpowder is on the way." A soldier who was fucking the artillery said with a bitter face.

Qianhu's face turned pale when he heard this and shouted and cursed: "A bunch of waste things, the gunpowder that the court just sent down, let you do something."

"It's not the young men who are tempted by the trend. These gunpowders are tempted by the young men." The soldiers who were rushing to defend themselves with a grievance.

Qianhu scolded: "You little fucking is looking for excuses here. Even if the gunpowder sent is turbulent, you won't dry it. I don't believe it will not be used after it is finished."

The scolded soldier's head drooped.

Usually, the gunners who were using artillery have no chance to actually manipulate the cannons on the walls, and the gunpowder they sent is just piled up in the corner and fell into dust, and they didn't care. If they didn't find it impossible to use it when they used it, they might not find it in another one or two years.

"Why are you still standing there in a daze? You haven't hid yet, waiting to get shot." Qianhu saw that all the soldiers who were carrying the cannon were stunned and cursed in anger.

The cannon soldiers on the wall came to their senses and looked for a place to hide.

The sound of cannons outside Yanmen Pass sounded for a while, and the sound suddenly stopped.

Qianhu, who was hiding behind the wall cover, waited for a while, but there was no sound of cannons again. Then he carefully poked his head out and looked outside.

After a look, I found that the rebels were retreating with cannons.

"The rebels are just rebels. They have no accurate shooting at all. After firing so many guns, all the cannons are buried on the wall. They are also a bunch of waste." Qianhu stood up from his hiding place and slapped the dust on his body a few times.

The sound of cannons just now sounded like a frightening person, but none of these cannons fell on the pass, and all hit the thick walls.

The defenders on the walls walked out one after another and stood on the walls again. Seeing the rebels retreating unscrupulously ridicule, their morale increased a lot.

"Send the order to let the top soldiers kill chickens and sheep. Today I will reward the brothers guarding the city." Qianhu asked his personal soldiers to prepare.

The soldiers on the wall heard it and cheered loudly.

The happy order from Qianhu was now in a state of pain.

However, he did not intend to repent. There were rebels outside the city and wanted to defend Yanmen Pass. Before reinforcements arrived, he had to rely on these soldiers on the wall to guard Yanmen Pass.

It was getting dark, but the fire was bright in Yanmen Pass.

Seven or eight soldiers sat around a large table, eating the meat in the basin, each of them ate the oily mouth.

Four or five large tables like this were placed. In addition, some soldiers surrounded several people and directly grabbed the bone-shaped penis with their hands.

Wang Yuncheng interrupted the quarrel between the two.

Yu Huai and Lin Wenye looked away and stared at each other with anger.

"Shi Zheng, there is really not much time left for us. If the personal military division takes Ningwu Pass and we haven't taken Yanmen Pass yet, we may not be able to raise our heads in front of the personal military division in the future." Lin Wenye looked at Wang Yuncheng and said.

Wang Yuncheng pursed his lips vigorously and said, "Wait a little longer, there must be a way."

Seeing this, Lin Wenye had to take the teapot back to the table beside him and sit down.

The sand table was in front of me, and Yanmen Pass was just ten miles away. Wang Yuncheng frowned and stared at Yanmen Pass on the sand table, thinking about ways to break the pass.

"Report!"

As the sound came, a soldier ran in outside the tent.

The eyes of several people in the tent were attracted by the soldiers coming in.

The soldiers appeared at the entrance of the tent and said, "Report to Shi Zheng, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau sent someone to see Shi Zheng."

"Why did the people from the Foreign Intelligence Agency suddenly come over? Could it be that something happened?" Lin Wenye looked at Wang Yuncheng with confusion.

Wang Yuncheng explained to the soldiers who came in and reported: "Bring people here."

The soldier raised his right arm and bowed, turned around and exited the tent.
