The Jianlu vanguard was slowly getting closer and closer to Qingshui Mingyue Pass. Each of these Jianlu people did not hold a torch, but there were estimated to be about a thousand people. They were dragged into a long snake formation and hurried forward.
Most of the Jianlu in the vanguard were carrying two bags of things on the backs of their horses. They had obviously robbed property from the people of Yongping, and the harvest was not small. There was also a small group of Jianlu who protected the general, but they had nothing.
Obviously he did not participate in the Yongping massacre.
Jianlu at the front turned around the foot of the mountain and saw Qingshui Mingyue Pass at a glance.
It was pitch dark, and there were no torches burning at the top of the city, and no people were seen walking around. Only through the open city gate, you could see the lights inside the city.
The Jianlu who saw Qingshui Mingyue Pass let out a long sigh of relief. As long as they passed this pass, they would reach the Mongolian grassland.
At that time, the sky will be high enough for birds to fly, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap, and the Ming army will not have to be afraid even if there are millions of troops.
One of the Jianlu in the front immediately turned back, walked to the front of the team and reported: "There is a pass ahead, but there is no one at the top of the city, and there are lights in the city."
The leader was riding on the horse, a little out of breath. After a while, he had the strength to curse: "The bastards have thrown military discipline into the wind when they got to the pass. We have to deal with them when we get back."
He took another breath and ordered: "Let's go to the city to rest, wait for the people behind, and then set off again tomorrow morning." [
He did not doubt the number of people in the city. When Huang Taiji ordered the demolition of the buildings on the top of the mountain and left about twenty people stationed, he happened to be beside the Khan.
During the period when the people in front paused their advance, the people behind them all caught up, and the long line became much thicker.
After receiving the order from the leader, the Jianlu vanguard continued to move forward, even speeding up their horses.
They were all Jianlu stationed in Yongping. Most of them went crazy playing in Yongping City during the day, and then traveled all night, and they were exhausted. I heard that after entering Qingshui Mingyue Pass, they could rest, and they were even more exhausted regardless of their fatigue.
, start to accelerate.
In order to get a good resting place, the Jianlu were pushing forward until they were behind the general. They did not dare to go any further and just followed the general.
The long snake formation becomes shorter and shorter and thicker.
When we entered the city gate, we saw no one coming to ask. We could only see figures shaking around the fire in the city, shouting vaguely, and reluctant to leave the fire.
The Jianlu in front cursed secretly, rushed into the city, and ran straight towards the light of the fire.
The Jianlu behind them habitually followed the Jianlu in front into the city, and some relaxed their mood and began to shout, and Qingshui Mingyue Pass suddenly became lively.
When the team was more than halfway in, a Jianlu at the back accidentally raised his head and found that something was wrong with the city head illuminated by the torch in the hands of the Jianlu in front.
As he walked, he said: "What is hanging on the top of the city? This, is this the wooden raft used in Changli's defense?"
This Jianlu had participated in the offensive and defensive battle of Changli, so he knew it well.
Others heard his voice and started to look up.
The person from before suddenly thought and shouted: "No, yes"
Before he finished speaking, there was a "crash" at the city gate, and the Qianjin Gate fell down. It happened to hit him who had already reached the city gate, and smashed his words back, along with his body and the horse under his crotch.
Two pieces.[
The Minzhuang Army had already received the order and had agreed to release the Qianjin Gate as a signal to attack.
Suddenly, many civilians and soldiers emerged from the darkness, shooting arrows, bidding and grabbing. On the top of the city, rolling logs and stones were thrown down one after another, hitting the prisoners inside and outside the city gate and crying.
There was no chance, so he went to see the King of Hell.
All these things happened in an instant. Holding a torch, Jianlu, who was in the open, had no time to react and was knocked over many times.
Jianlu, who was walking at the front, had already sensed something was wrong, but he did not expect that there would be an ambush from the Ming army, so he was immediately stunned.
Zhong Jinwei stayed in the hiding place. Only at this moment did he feel relieved. He made a fist with his left hand and hit his right palm hard, and blurted out: "Okay, okay, hit me hard!"
Yan Yingyuan and Yu Haijing beside him were also very excited and were paying attention to the fighting in the city. It can be said that so far, Lu Xiangsheng's plan has been half successful.
There was basically no fighting outside the city. Except for the Jianlu who was near the city gate and was hit by rolling logs and rocks, the other Jianlu immediately fled far away and looked at Qingshui Mingyue Pass in shock, not knowing what was going on.
Thing.
There were about 700 Jianlu imprisoned in the city. After the initial loss of about 200 people, other Jianqiu immediately reacted.
Jianlu's actual combat experience is not false. They had no one to direct them and immediately threw torches in the direction of the enemy. On the one hand, they no longer exposed themselves to the public, and on the other hand, they could see clearly what the enemy looked like.
of people, and at the same time can cause the enemy to panic.
Then all the captives dismounted and huddled together, forming an irregular circular formation with the help of their horses, and began to resist.
Under the leadership of their respective leaders, Minzhuang's army used long weapons to force the Jianlu. Then Minzhuang, who was armed with long-range weapons on the outside, continued to attack the Jianlu who were surrounded inside.
The leader of the army was surrounded in the middle of the circular formation. He had recovered from his dazed state and began to issue orders.
The circular formation formed by Jianlu began to move slowly towards the city gate, trying to seize control of the city gate.
There were prisoners built on the outside of this circular formation, and people were hit by arrows from time to time. But as long as their vital parts were not injured, these people who were hit by arrows tried their best to keep up with the movement of the circular formation.
The people inside the circular formation began to look for gaps, pick up their bows and arrows, and counterattack outwards.
Zhong Jinwei looked back at Yan Yingyuan and saw his eagerness to try, so he said to him: "Your archery skills are great. Go over and shoot a few more prisoners to avenge the people!"
Yan Yingyuan looked at Zhong Jinwei, a little worried.
Zhong Jinwei smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm hiding here and it's very safe. You just have to be careful."
Yan Yingyuan thought it made sense, so he stopped delaying and said to Hai Jing, "Take good care of the Marquis." Then he quickly ran to the top of the city in the direction where Jianlu was moving, and used his archery skills.
Zhong Jinwei also had itchy hands, but he knew that he had never held a gun or wielded a knife, so it was nonsense to fight Jianlu, so he suppressed his thoughts and continued to watch the battle.
While reading, he commented: "Cold weapons are still not enough. If you are caught in an ambush like this in the age of firearms, you can just throw a grenade into the pile of soldiers and you can easily get rid of it."
When Yu Haijing heard what Zhong Jinwei said was so powerful, she couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, what kind of weapon is that grenade? It's so powerful?"
Zhong Jinwei turned around and looked at Yu Haijing. He remembered that he said that the hand grenade was filled with TNT explosives in later generations. It couldn't be made at all now, so he said nonsensically: "It's just a kind of grenades. Let's not talk about it. It depends on the war. You
Tell me where this Jiutai is, why can't I find his figure?"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appeared immediately.
Just as Jianlu slowly moved closer to the city gate, a strong civilian army came out from the city gate and rushed towards the circular formation. The leader was tall and brandished a moon sword, and he was none other than Lu Xiangsheng.
His Yanyue Sword was made of black iron and was completely black. It was especially beneficial in melee fighting in this darkness. Jianlu often lost his head without knowing where the blade was.
Lu Xiangsheng was very strong and his sword was sharp. He could often kill several captives with one blow. Under the protection of his servants, Lu Xiangsheng bravely moved forward to fight.
Jianlu was suddenly attacked and rushed to fight. He had almost no long weapons. Therefore, when he encountered Lu Xiangsheng, he had no general to combine with him.
Jianlu, who had always had a vicious reputation, seemed to turn into paper when he came in front of Lu Xiangsheng. One of them died, and two of them died.
From a high place, Zhong Jinwei could clearly see where Lu Xiangsheng was. It was like a knife cutting into a large cake, slowly cutting the cake into two halves.
Lu Xiangsheng killed each other, without stopping, and went to the larger circular formation that split off.
The more he killed, the fewer and fewer they were killed. In the end, there were only about twenty Jianlu people left.
These twenty or so people formed a formation to meet the enemy, and they all had weapons in their hands. For a moment, the people surrounding them were helpless.
When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, he shouted: "Get out of the way."
The people of the people hurriedly got out of the way and watched as their magistrate Lu, who was a Jinshi, held a Yanyue sword and fought in majestically as if Guan Yunchang was still alive.
These twenty or so people paired up with Lu Xiangsheng, who was protected by his servants. Within a few rounds, there were casualties.
The Jianlu leader in the innermost circle was desperate and unwilling to be captured by the Ming army, so he turned the blade and wiped it on his neck.
