Jianlu was stunned by the huge boulders rising into the sky in Qingshui Mingyue Pass, and then fled in all directions. However, more than 5,000 troops stood in the long and narrow passage, and there was no room for escape at all.
A huge boulder fell down and smashed the Jianlu people and horses into a pulp. It was impossible to tell whether it was horse meat or human flesh.
Then when the boulder rolled and slid, it broke the legs of five or six horses. The screams of the war horses affected the surrounding horses, and they all began to commotion.
Three huge rocks at a time will kill no more than ten captives, which is a drop in the bucket for the more than 5,000 captives. However, the power of the huge rocks when they are thrown at them, or in the face of death, it is impossible to resist.
The feeling of being hit by a huge boulder and the tragic situation caused Jianlu to immediately become confused.
This time it was the turn of the Ming army at the top of the city to shout loudly. They saw some Jianlu people even fleeing to the city wall to avoid the boulders. They were not polite to these Jianlu people. They shot arrows and smashed logs and stones.
He rolled the wood and rocks and gave them a good meal.
Minzhuang, who was operating the catapult below, heard the sound of the catapult from the top of the city and knew that it had hit the prisoner. He immediately speeded up happily and tried to shoot more.
In fact, there is no need to listen to the sound from the top of the city. As long as you keep the direction, this long and narrow passage outside the city is full of prisoners, and you will gain something no matter how you smash it.
The people's proficiency in using catapults was obviously higher than that of the previous Jianlu outside the city. One by one, huge boulders crossed the Qingshui Mingyueguan wall and fell into the pile of Jianlu.
Yu Haijing stared at the Jianlu outside the city from the top of the city, and said in her heart: "Mom, sister, I have killed fifteen Tatars, and I will definitely kill more Tatars in memory of you in the future!" [
Zhong Jinwei no longer had any reaction to the bloody human body. Looking at the power of the catapults, he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if there were more catapults, which could directly destroy these Jianluo."
Lu Xiangsheng laughed and joined in the fun: "If there is an elite cavalry army at this time, I guarantee that I can kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
After a lot of life and death before, Lu Xiangsheng no longer calls himself "Xiaguan" in front of Zhong Jinwei, but instead calls himself "I" as long as it is not a formal occasion.
Yan Yingyuan, who was standing on the right side of Zhong Jinwei, did not laugh. He looked at the chaotic Jianlu outside the city and said, "It's a pity that we can't kill all these Jianlu to avenge the people of the capital!"
When Lu Xiangsheng heard Yan Yingyuan's words, he stopped laughing. He looked at the Jianlu, thinking of the people who had been harmed by them, and wished he could kill one more Jianlu to avenge them.
Zhong Jinwei reached out and patted Yan Yingyuan's shoulder and said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. You can escape the monks, but you can't escape the temple. We will go back to Liaodong and let them pay with blood."
Yu Haijing heard what Zhong Jinwei said from the side and immediately said: "Master Hou, when you go to Liaodong to kill Jianlu, you must bring your subordinates with you."
"Don't worry, but before going to Liaodong, you have to help me find all the scum among us Han people and get rid of those cancers of the Ming Dynasty." Zhong Jinwei said to Hai Jing.
Yu Haijing has already made up her mind to follow Zhong Jinwei, so naturally she will not disagree.
"If these traitors hadn't led the way, sold information, and supplied military supplies to the rebels, so many people in the capital would not have died! It was like chickens crowing for thousands of miles, and bones were exposed in the wild. Every village we came to was slaughtered.
Everything must be clean and tidy." When Zhong Jinwei said this, he secretly made up his mind to uproot those traitors.
Yu Haijing had a look of shame on his face as he listened to Zhong Jinwei's accusation. He was once one of the traitors Zhong Jinwei mentioned. If his family hadn't also been harmed, he was not sure whether he would have woken up.
.
Yu Haijing hesitated for a while and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, there is one thing you may not know. Except for massacres in some places, the Jianlu plundered people and sent them as slaves outside the customs."
"Who killed so many people in the village? It wasn't the Jianlu, but the officers and soldiers?" Yan Yingyuan heard Yu Haijing's words and turned to ask him.
"Of course not, they are Mongolian Tatars." Yu Haijing replied.
"What, Mongolian Tatars?" Zhong Jinwei was a little surprised.[
"Yes, the Mongolian Tatars are crazy poor, and they don't need to plunder the population to farm for them. So killing people, setting fires, and robbing things is not what they do." Yu Haijing told Zhong Jinwei what he knew.
"What he said makes sense. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been suppressing Mongolia. Although the Mongols occasionally rebelled, they were always suppressed by the Ming Dynasty. Since Marshal Qi guarded the northern border, the Mongols have not dared to go south. Therefore,
When there is a natural disaster, they cannot come to the Central Plains to plunder, so a large area will starve to death, and they are so poor that they all use bone arrows." Lu Xiangsheng agreed with Yu Haijing's words, and he felt that the Mongolian Tatars should not be unjustly accused.
son.
Zhong Jinwei heard clearly and remembered the corpses along the way, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Blood debt must be paid with blood. The good deeds done by the Mongolian Tatars must be made to pay the price. Yu Haijing!"
"Yes." Yu Haijing replied quickly.
"You go back and dictate a list of the Mongolian Tatar tribes who entered the customs with Jianlu this time, and have someone write it down and give it to me." Zhong Jinwei ordered.
"yes."
After Jianlu paid more than 200 lives, he withdrew from the attack range of the catapult.
Shuotuo was lucky enough to stand in front of the team, but he eventually escaped. At this time, he no longer had the idea of attacking Qingshui Mingyue Pass. The Ming army had catapults and city walls to stop it.
How to fight if you are still alive!
In desperation, he asked Namtai to plan the next move. At this time, the scout horses that had been sent out came back one after another to report that the main infantry of the Ming Army was only ten miles away from them, and there were also Ming soldiers encountered in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
The army does not stop at night.
There was a leak in the house, it rained all night, and there was another Ming army. Shuo Tuo had no choice, there was only one way to go.
So, without further discussion, Shuotuo led his exhausted troops and fled westward.
Zhong Jinwei saw Jianlu turn around at the top of the city and disappear at the foot of the mountain. He knew that he had won. Jianlu was blocked in the pass and gave up the idea of escaping from Qingshui Mingyue Pass.
He suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Jianlu escaped, we are victorious!"
When the surrounding people heard the shouts of Marquis Zhongxing, they burst into joy and shouted together: "Jianlu has escaped, we are victorious!"
The minzhuangs in the city, including the injured minzhuang, also shouted together, venting the joy of victory!
At the beginning, they were determined to sacrifice their lives and sniped at more than 7,000 Jianlu prisoners with 800 people. No one thought that they could withstand Jianlu's attack. When the catapults were showing their majesty outside the city, they
I even thought about dying in battle at Qingshui Mingyue Pass.
When they followed Lu Xiangsheng out of the city to attack Jianlu at a ratio of five hundred to one thousand, they also made plans to go back.
But the final result was beyond their expectations. They won! Yes, with 800 strong people, they withstood the attack of more than 7,000 captives.
They were excited, proud, and madly vented their feelings with loud shouts.
Many of them returned to their hometowns many years later with great honors and became the glory of hundreds of miles around. One of the stories that children like to hear them tell the most is that Qingshui Mingyue Pass blocked the Jianlu.
As he approached Qingshui Mingyue Pass, Sun Chengzong became more and more worried, wondering what happened to the daring Marquis Zhongxing.
Did he win the pass? Did he resist the Jianlu attacks? Sun Chengzong's heart was filled with questions one after another. In the end, he couldn't hold it back anymore and called Ma Xianglin, who was guarding him, and said: "Send out the cavalry and go first."
Investigate the military situation at Qingshui Mingyue Pass."
"General, I'll go in person." Ma Xianglin asked.
He thought that Marquis Zhongxing would become the Ma family's backer in the court, so he was very concerned about Zhong Jinwei's safety.
"That's fine, pay attention to safety and don't get too close to the Jianlu army." After some thought, Sun Chengzong agreed to Ma Xianglin's request and told him.
"Yes." Ma Xianglin agreed, then turned around and waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Follow me."
A cavalry force of about 200 people with white poles left the central army, bypassed the infantry in front, and ran forward.
When passing by Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin stopped for a moment, talked about his mission, and then left for Qingshui Mingyue Pass.
