[Today's first chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】

Lu Xiangsheng also put on his gilded armor today and stood on the Guan Tower in person, his existence was like a needle that fixed the sea, stabilizing the hearts of more than 20,000 Ming soldiers and soldiers in Yanmen Pass.

The reason why Lu Xiangsheng stood on the Guan Tower was that he used his actual actions to tell all the soldiers of the Ming Army in the Guan that he, Lu Xiangsheng, was here, so that all of you could see it, and the commander would never secretly escape.

In the past, when the Ming army and the Qing army fought, many times it was because the commander saw that the battle situation was unfavorable and fled first, which immediately led to the rout of the Ming army.

Today, Lu Xiangsheng has already made up his mind that he will survive with Yanmen Pass, and even if the pass is broken, he will never escape.

Lu Xiangsheng did this, and it did have a great effect, at least at this time, the soldiers of the Ming army who were shivering from the cold, they looked at the tower of Chaoguan.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng standing on the tower of the pass with his sword in his hand, motionless, staring at the Tartar army approaching in the distance outside the pass, they had the backbone.

"Du Jianjun, Ben Shuai sent someone to invite you, you won't blame Ben Shuai.

Now it is at the critical moment of life and death in this pass, not only the commander must come to the pass in person, but even you, the prison army, are no exception.

The two of us must set an example for the more than 20,000 soldiers in the Guan, who are locked up in the people, and who are destroyed and killed. ”

At this time, there was another person beside Lu Xiangsheng, that is, Du Xun, the eunuch of the prison army, Lu Xiangsheng didn't look at him at this time, and said in a deep voice.

Moreover, Du Xun didn't come voluntarily, originally Du Xun was in Daizhou, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't worry that this guy was in Daizhou, for fear that this guy would mess around in the rear.

Therefore, when Lu Xiangsheng sent Guan Ling back to Daizhou and transferred another 10,000 horses over, he forcibly brought Du Xun over.

Guan Ling asked 10,000 horses to march quickly, a distance of only forty miles, Guan Ling took 10,000 horses, and rushed to Yanmen Pass in the middle of the night at the speed of rapid marching.

At this time, Du Xun on the side saw that Lu Xiangsheng did not look at him, his eyes flashed with resentment, and he looked at the Tartar approaching in the rain outside the city, and his legs were trembling.

But Du Xun also knew that everyone else had been forcibly brought by Lu Xiangsheng, and it was useless to say anything at this time.

Du Xun also said stiffly: "Lu Dashuai is right, this is also what this prison army should do." ”

In fact, at this time, Du Xun had already greeted the eighteen generations of Lu Xiangsheng's ancestors in his heart, and vowed in his heart that he must take revenge.

Even, he was already thinking in his mind, after returning to Beijing, how to retaliate against Lu Xiangsheng and how to report to Chongzhen.

"The surname is Lu, you wait for me, let you be arrogant for a few more days, and when you return to Beijing, see how the miscellaneous family cleans you up.

Since you are so arrogant and domineering, then don't blame the miscellaneous family for being ruthless, Yuan Chonghuan's authority back then was not smaller than yours.

But in the end, isn't it still clicked by the emperor!

Since you want to be Yuan Chonghuan's second, then the miscellaneous family will fulfill you. ”

Du Xun thought viciously in his heart.

Du Xun hated Lu Xiangsheng to death at this time, and brought him into the dangerous place of Yanmen Pass, if the Tartar really broke through, he couldn't run if he wanted to.

Originally, Du Xun stayed in Daizhou very well, and the officials there served him with good food and drink.

Lu Xiangsheng is not in Daizhou, he is the boss, and no one in the other Ming generals dares to question his orders.

He only needs to stay behind and wait for the battle report of Yanmen Pass, if Lu Xiangsheng repels the Tartars, he will have to have a share of the credit.

In case Lu Xiangsheng is defeated, he can let the other Ming troops in Daizhou escape as soon as possible, and his life will not be in danger.

And at that time, he can also blame Lu Xiangsheng for the defeat.

But Du Xun never thought that this time Lu Xiangsheng would change his kind attitude in the past, and directly sent Guan Ling to forcibly bring him to Yanmen Pass.

At this time, Du Xun was also standing on the Guan Tower, and he didn't need to be drenched in the rain, but he looked at the Qing soldiers who were already looming outside the pass, and he was very nervous.

"But you must hold it!"

Although Du Xun hated Lu Xiangsheng very much, he still hoped that the Ming army would be able to hold Yanmen Pass at this time.

"Kill!"

As the Qing soldiers approached the Yanmen Pass city wall, although the rain was loud, the Ming soldiers on the city wall could still hear the shouts of the Qing soldiers.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Because the firearms could not be used, the Ming army defending on the city wall could only use archers to attack the Qing soldiers attacking outside the pass.

But unfortunately, the number of accurate archers on the side of the Ming army was not large, and they could only stand at the mouth of the city wall and shoot indiscriminately at the dense Qing soldiers below.

The clear soldiers under the wall leaned against the wall, and then the soldiers under the wall held their shields one by one and climbed up the ladder.

On this rainy day, there was no chance for the Ming army to burn gold juice on the city wall.

In addition to the bow and arrow attack, they were left to use the rolling wood and stones to smash the Qing soldiers who climbed up the ladder.

At the beginning of the battle, there were basically no casualties on the Ming army's side, because they were all Qing soldiers under the attack wall, and those Qing soldiers could not attack them.

Whoosh!

However, when those Qing archers dozens of steps away from the wall were throwing at the wall, the Ming army on the wall suffered casualties.

Squeak, squeak!

When those Qing soldiers, braving the heavy rain, pushed more than a dozen large building carts up, the casualties of the Ming army who closed the wall increased rapidly.

Because the Ming army was also shot at by those Tartar archers from the building car.

Fortunately, those Tartar archers, although they were accurate in archery, still caused them a huge hero on a rainy day today, and their archery accuracy was greatly reduced.

Moreover, these large building cars made by the Tartars can only be pushed to the frontal attack of the main gate building of Yanmen Pass, and the two wings of the gate wall built on the mountain, these building cars cannot be pushed up.

At the same time, fortunately, there were less than ten large building cars that were finally pushed by the Tartars in front of Yanmen Pass, and many more were all trapped behind.

This heavy rain has made the road surface unbearable, potholes, and a lot of stagnant water, and the wheels of many large buildings and cars in Tartar have fallen into the pits, and it is difficult to get rid of them for a while.

"Hurry up, roll the wood and stones, and move more here."

"The archers come forward, and the sword and shield soldiers ...... behind"

Hao Qiang walked on the wall, shouting loudly at many Ming army soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng sat in the Guanlou, did not go to the wall to command the battle, and was on the front line to command those Ming army soldiers who were still Hao Qiang, Guan Ling and other Ming generals.

"Hurry up, keep up, climb up!"

Under the wall, many Ming generals were also urging those Qing soldiers to climb up quickly along the ladder.

"Ahhh

As a scream echoed in the air, there were already many Qing soldiers, unable to storm the city wall, and fell down from the ladder.

The shouting of killing shook the sky, and the wall of Yanmen Pass spread for several kilometers, and at this time there was a fierce battle everywhere, and the Qing soldiers desperately climbed to the wall, trying to rush up.

The soldiers of the Ming army who closed the wall prevented the Qing soldiers from climbing the wall, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

"Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey! ”

Soon, more than 20 Qing soldiers pushed a crashing car and slowly marched to the gate of Yanmen Pass.

On both sides of the area were a large number of swords and shields, holding shields, covering the soldiers of these carts, and blocking arrows from overhead.

Knock knock!

It didn't take long for the Qing soldiers to smoothly push the crashing car to the gate of Yanmen, and began to hit the city gate, making a muffled sound.

During the siege of the city two days ago, the Qing soldiers even tried to use soldiers with explosives bags to get close to the city gate and blow open the gate of Yanmen Pass.

But this required a large amount of gunpowder, and the Qing soldiers transported it twice, and the intention was seen through by the Ming army on the wall.

Then, a large number of iron-clad mines were thrown under the city gate, blowing up the Qing soldiers hiding at the city gate, and shattering their plan to blow up the city gate.

And now, with the rainy attack, the Ming army's iron-shelled mines can no longer be used.

And the same Qing soldiers can't blow up the door with explosives, they can only continue to choose the most primitive attack method of ramming the city.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Bang hard!"

In the midst of the shouts and shouts of the low-level generals of the Qing soldiers, those Qing soldiers continued to push the thick wooden pillar wrapped in iron sheets, and hit the city gate again and again.

At this time, Du Xun, the eunuch of the prison army, was standing on the upper floor, and he could hear the dull sound of knocking on the door, and his heart trembled.

"Lord Lu, the Tartars are banging on the door, why don't you send someone to stop it."

Lu Xiangsheng sat on the chair next to him, without saying a word, after the war began, Hao Qiang did not let him continue to stand on the city wall in front of the Guan Tower, worried that the rain of arrows from the Qing soldiers would hurt him.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to arrange it." Lu Xiangsheng said a word, and then fell silent again.

"You ......"

Du Xun looked at Lu Xiangsheng and was not panicked at this time, it seemed that there was not a bloody battle in front of him, Lu Xiangsheng's appearance made him very unhappy.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng was right, he had already thought that the Tartar might hit the door or blow up the door.

Therefore, as early as when Lu Xiangsheng arrived at Yanmen Pass, he had already ordered that the city gate be completely blocked with stones.

At this time, behind the gate of the city gate cave of Yanmen Pass, there is all stone and soil, even if the Qing soldiers blew up the city gate with explosives yesterday, they will not be able to rush in.

Lu Xiangsheng thought very clearly, anyway, they didn't plan to kill out of Yanmen Pass, only the Tartars desperately wanted to kill in.

Therefore, the city gate of Yanmen Pass is of no use to the Ming army at all, and it is a threat to keep it.

Simply, Lu Xiangsheng directly ordered it to be completely blocked, so that if the Qing soldiers wanted to conquer Yanmen Pass, they could only kill from the wall.

Therefore, at this time, no matter how hard the Qing soldiers outside the city hit the city gate, it was useless after all, and it was impossible to break open.

Even if they smashed the city gate, they would find that they could not enter the Yanmen Pass through the city gate hole at all.

"Kill!"

Poof!

At the city wall in the western section of Yanmen Pass, a Qing soldier who had just climbed to the battlement of the city wall along the ladder and tried to jump onto the city wall.

was yelled by a Ming soldier on the city wall, and the spear stabbed out, directly through his chest, and poked it down.

But then, the spear of this Ming soldier was held by one hand, and another Qing soldier who followed closely behind him boarded the battlement.

"Quick, kill him!"

The spear was clutched, and the Ming soldier, who couldn't pull it back for a while, shouted anxiously.

Immediately, there was a Ming saber and shield soldier next to him, raising his shield and approaching, and the long knife was aimed at the Qing soldier standing at the battlement at this time, slashing over.

While!

The Qing soldier blocked with a horizontal sword, directly swept away the slash of the Ming saber and shield soldier, and then kicked out with a sharp kick, kicking the Ming saber and shield soldier's shield, causing him to stagger back a few steps.

The Qing soldier took advantage of the situation, jumped onto the city wall, and slashed out with his long knife backhand, directly cutting the throat of the Ming army's pikemen.

"Uh-uh-uh......"

The column of blood gushed out, and the Ming spearman clutched his throat, made a noise, and fell down suddenly.

This is the first Qing soldier to attack the wall as soon as the Qing army tackled the key problems today.

At this time, the Qing soldier leaned against the city wall, looking at the three Ming soldiers approaching around him, his eyes were fierce, but he did not panic and made a defensive posture.

Moreover, this Qing soldier is not an ordinary Qing soldier, he is wearing three layers of armor, he is a real Tartar white armor soldier, but he belongs to the Han army with red flags.

There are some Tartar soldiers like this in the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

On weekdays, they are responsible for supervising and training the soldiers of the Han army, and their status is transcendent, although they are still nominally soldiers, but their status is similar to that of those Han army generals.

When it comes to wartime, they are also responsible for supervising the battle on the battlefield, and if they find that they are afraid of war, they can kill them on the spot without reporting.

At the same time, they will also participate in the charge and gnaw some hard bones.

And following this Tartar white armor soldier, there are more than a dozen elites of the Han army with red flags, although they are not Tartars, but they are also wearing three layers of heavy armor, and they are all well-trained and have excellent martial arts.

When this Tartar white-armored soldier climbed the city wall, Qing soldiers came up one after another.

"Quick, kill him, stop the Qing soldiers behind from boarding up, go on!"

At this time, there was a Ming army general named Jia Wu in command, and soon saw the situation here, and found that there were Qing soldiers behind him to climb the city wall, and immediately urged the Ming army soldiers in front.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Ming army who were urged also roared, and the three people in the front took the initiative to kill this Tartar white-armored soldier.

Dangdang!

The long knife blocked, slashing at the shield with a loud sound.

This Tartar white-armored soldier moved around in this narrow space, and he was unexpectedly one against three.

Poof!

"Ahh

A moment later, a Ming soldier screamed, and his ankle was slashed by the Tartar white-armored soldier, and he fell to his knees.

Peng!

Immediately, the wounded Ming soldier was kicked out again.

Poof!

The Tartar white-armored soldier stabbed another backhand in the abdomen of a Ming soldier in the back.

"Die!"

The Ming soldier next to him roared, and a knife looked at the shoulder of the Tartar white-armored soldier, but it failed to kill him.

His long knife was blocked by the armor of the Tartar Whitearmor, and although it also hurt him, it was not enough to kill him.

Poof!

The Tartar white-armored soldier reacted quickly, and without giving the last Ming soldier a chance, the long knife slashed out, directly cutting a big hole in his abdomen.

"Up, all up, kill him."

Jia Wu looked at this Tartar white-armored soldier, so brave, he could still win in the case of one enemy and three, his eyes were panicked, and he urged the surrounding Ming soldiers to continue to rush and kill, but he was slowly retreating.
