According to the record of "Tianxia County Guoli Disease Book": the head of the east of the Guandong is connected with Yajiao Mountain, the west leads to the Yellow River, and the trap is only separated by a water, and its land is east and west, so it is called the head pass.

The partial head pass and the Ningwu pass and the Yanmen pass are collectively called the three passes of China, which is the first of the three passes outside the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and the partial pass is "the screen of the three Jin Dynasty" and "the key of the north of the Jin Dynasty".

However, since the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the partial head pass has lost its original strategic significance, and the former Ming Dynasty's nine-sided important town has gradually become corrupted and has become an ordinary pass.

The guards of the partial pass have some real skills, and they are still not in a hurry when they see this situation: "Come on, shoot the cavalry in front of you with bows and arrows, and close the city gate!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the lieutenant general beside him: "You take people to the city gate hole, no matter what, you must block the cavalry rushing in and kill them all!" ”

Immediately began to shoot arrows on the top of the city to hinder the offensive of the Ming cavalry, and the deputy general ordered people to rush down, wanting to chop all the cavalry that rushed into the city to death.

But soon he was disappointed, let those soldiers shoot arrows at the head of the city no problem, but they are not elite soldiers, there has been no war for 20 years, the only time the battle is with the Manchu army, even if the pass is still majestic, but it can't stop their arrows from shooting crookedly.

The general at the head of the city was so angry that he shouted: "You bunch of waste, aim and shoot again, do you plan to shoot birds?" ”

The soldiers who got off the city wall were even more unbearable, they were soldiers just to eat, but they didn't come to fight hard, and besides, the enemy of the enemy was not necessarily the enemy, so as soon as the city wall started, they pretended to start preparing for battle, and they couldn't see the murderous spirit on their faces.

They are all bitter people who have been tempered by life, of course, they can't just turn around and run, in case the people outside the city can't attack the city, they will be unlucky, so they have been pretending to rush up, and then watching the enemy cavalry rush over, before they can get closer, they immediately fall to the root of the wall behind, shouting while falling: "The enemy attack is fierce!" ”

The deputy general of the partial pass was beside them, of course, he saw through their tricks, and he was so angry that he shouted: "You bastards, you can't hold the pass, you all have to die!" ”

Who knew that it didn't matter if he regretted it, he alarmed the cavalry who rushed in, and saw that all the soldiers had fled from the battlefield, but this kid didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and immediately rushed up and surrounded him.

The guards of the side pass were invincible with two fists and four hands, and were soon stabbed to death by random guns, and the city gate was not closed in the end.

Where did the general of the partial pass think that the partial pass, which was usually impregnable in his eyes, would be so vulnerable, and seeing that the soldiers around him began to scatter and flee, he sighed loudly and drew his sword to kill himself.

Cheng Xiaolian didn't expect that the war would end in less than half an hour, and the soldiers at the head of the city didn't dare to stay, and immediately fled to the countryside, even if the besiegers let them go, the Manchu court would definitely not let them go, anyway, everyone couldn't lose their lives to guard the Manchu pass.

The Ming army entered the city, and the side pass has been a mess, and the people who served as soldiers are also mixed, and some people took the opportunity to make trouble, and ganged up to go to some rich people to rob some gold and silver treasures, of course, they will never go to the rich house, and the guards in those homes are enough to beat them to the ground.

Cheng Xiaolian saw this scene and shouted: "Wang Jiyong, give you an hour to settle down, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" ”

Wang Jiyong received the order and immediately sent out more than a dozen soldiers and horses, while shouting loudly: "There is a family to go home, and each family is squatting at the base of the wall and is not allowed to run around!" While slashing at those who were unusually active with the knife in his hand.

At this time, no one can listen to talk well, but it is absolutely effective to speak with a knife, after killing dozens of people, the rest of the people immediately came down honestly, and some families hid at home, and tightly pressed against the gate with barricades, and those homeless soldiers were all squatting under the wall, and now they can only leave their fate to God, in short, they can't run around anymore, otherwise they will definitely die.

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at the surrounding troops: "What about your guards?" ”

One man plucked up the courage to stretch out his hand and pointed: "Committed suicide on the city wall." ”

"Who is in charge now?"

The eyes of several people all fell on one person, and that person immediately jumped up: "Wronged, I am only a hundred households, and all the officials are dead, so it is my turn, but I am really not the one who commands the battle, it is all the orders given by the general, and we dare to resist." ”

Cheng Xiaolian snorted: "You also deserve to resist, the bow and arrows are shot into the sky, if you command this battle, I have to cut off your head." ”

At this time, a person plucked up the courage to stand up: "This general, don't blame us for not having much combat effectiveness, our soldiers in the border are all first-class heroes, no worse than the soldiers under you, but because our family members died in the hands of the Manchus, we are unwilling to fight for the Manchus, so we dedicate the city." I didn't stand up to show off anything, I just wanted to tell the general that our brothers in the border are not bad breeds, don't treat them lightly! ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It's not bad, there is finally a bold one, what kind of hatred do you have with the Manchus, let's hear it?" ”

"At the beginning, the general army of Datong Jiang Hao rebelled, the Manchu Qing sent a large army, and the Datong Mansion was killed into a river of blood and was not relieved, which came to our side pass, burning, killing and looting, all evil, the official said that we have thief bones here, and we must shave the thief bones to ensure the stability of one side, so we have the opportunity to pass everyone has an enmity with the Manchus, not to mention anything else, if you are the Mongols to attack the pass, we will not retreat, because behind us is our homeland, but everyone is Han, we are not willing to deal with you, That's how easy it is for you to get in. ”

This person can be regarded as saying everything he wants to say, he can only ensure that he will not kill in the side pass by wearing a high hat on Cheng Xiaolian's head first, besides, just now seeing that they are playing the banner of Daming, they will not rob like those bandits.

Cheng Xiaolian looked at this person and stared at him for dozens of breaths before he began to speak: "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Wang Tieniu."

"Okay, Wang Tieniu, you will follow me on an errand in the future, and now you will be the commander of this partial pass, and within one day, let the partial pass be restored as before, can you do it?"

"Yes!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "General, I want to bring a few brothers who know each other to do things together." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Go ahead, they can also be promoted if they do it well, if they can't do it, you guys will see you together!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Wang Tieniu shouted a few times: "Second baby, Brother Zhu, Second Uncle Sun。。。。。。 You guys come with me. As he spoke, he turned around and arched his hand: "If you can't do an errand, we people will come to see you!" ”
