After the last military meeting of the Northwest Field Army, preparations for the attack on Ningxia Town began in full swing. At this time, the military towns on the three sides of Shaanxi had not yet noticed it.

This year in Shaanxi is still the year of great drought as always, with thousands of miles of red land and displaced people everywhere. Thieves from all walks of life carried a large number of hungry homeless people and roamed all over Shaanxi, and all the prefectures and counties in various places closed their city gates, not caring about the lives of the homeless people.

The vicinity of the border town is quite calm, and the thieves everywhere know that the border army is fierce, and rarely touch the moldy head of the border army. Although the people of the northwest were fierce, a group of rabble encountered the fierce northwest frontier army, and they only scattered and fled.

Therefore, the situation near the military towns in Shaanxi is relatively calm, although there are also many displaced people, but there are not many who dare to make trouble. This also makes the defense of the border towns in the direction of Daming relatively relaxed, and only the defense outside the border wall is more important.

The forts and dungeons all over the side walls are densely packed, and once the Tartar Kou is found, the beacon fire will be ignited in an instant. The entire three sides of Shaanxi will immediately respond by sending additional troops and horses from other border towns to reinforce them.

Zhenyuan Pass is one of the important passes of Ningxia Town in the nine towns of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. During the Xuande period, the side wall of Zhenyuanguan was also built here, starting from Hongguozikou in the west, reaching the west bank of the Yellow River in the east, there are both stone walls and earth walls, from Zhenyuanguan to Huoshagou, there are tunbao, dunbao are connected, in order to cut off the road of Beikou westward. It is an extremely important place in the north of Ningxia, where heavy troops are stationed all year round, and five miles south of Zhenyuan Pass is the Black Mountain Battalion, which also has heavy troops.

At midnight, several Ming border troops are curled up in the city head of the female wall dozing, since the northern grassland is noisy, the northern Tartars have really stopped a lot, every time in previous years, there are a lot of Mongolian Tartars who go south to fight the grass valley. But I'll see you again this year. The border troops in Ningxia Town generally believed that it might have been fought fiercely on the grassland some time ago, and the various units had died too much and needed to recuperate for a while.

Therefore, the Ming border army guarding the pass also slacked off a lot, and there were only a few people left in the city, and the rest ran back to sleep. Zhao Lianhe, who was sleeping fragrantly, slowly woke up, and he rubbed his eyes. A faint humming sound was heard, and it was getting louder.

He quickly stood up, leaned on the female wall and looked out of the city, only to see that it was dark in front of him, and there was no sound around him. It's so strange that that's where the voice came from. He ran to another city wall and saw that there was no movement in Zhenyuan Pass.

Suddenly, Zhao Lianhe looked up into the air and was stunned. I saw a black behemoth slowly pressing down on the city. Several ropes also hung down from it at this time, and several people in black night clothes quickly slid down the ropes to the top of the city.

Zhao Lianhe reacted at this time, and just wanted to shout loudly, but immediately a thick man who fell onto the city wall raised a short fire gun against his head, and Zhao Lianhe, who originally wanted to shout, swallowed the words in his mouth in an instant.

Without saying a word, he knelt down. With a crying voice, he said: "Good man, spare your life...... There's a big family to feed me. Please spare my life, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life......"

It was only at this time that Zhao Lianhe saw the other party's appearance clearly, and saw a tall and stout man opposite, his face painted with flowers, and he looked extremely hideous under the moonlight. There are all kinds of things hanging on his body, and he exudes an extremely intimidating aura. The other party was waiting for Zhao Lianhe with a gloomy face, and the cold barrel stared at his forehead, which almost scared him to pee.

At this time, several other big men also descended to the head of the city. picked up the short fire gun in his hand and smashed the sleeping Ming army nestled next to the female wall and fainted. The big man turned around and looked, then turned around and said, "How many people are there in the gate?" Where will the Lord be? ”

As soon as Zhao Lianhe heard that the other party was speaking an official language, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Since it's not a demon or a monster, or a Tartar from the north, it's easy to say, so maybe you can save your life.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lianhe poured beans into the bamboo tube, and told the big man on the other side all the situation in Zhenyuan Pass. After hearing this, the big man made a few gestures to a group of heroes in black night clothes behind him, and then turned to Zhao Lianhe and said, "You help us lead the way, if you dare to make any moths, Lao Tzu will blow your head ......"

"Hey...... Ay...... I'm familiar with all the inside of the pass, so I'll take you there......"

It's all this time, the dead Dao friends don't die the poor Dao, Zhao Lianhe still cares so much. led a group of black-clothed men to walk down the city wall, at this time the city gate had already been controlled by the black-clothed men, and the nearby border troops were also smashed unconscious, and opened the city gate of Zhenyuanguan.

The Far Eastern Army, which had been lurking outside the city for a long time, rushed into the pass, and under the leadership of Zhao Lianhe, easily occupied the Zhennan Pass. Zhao Lianhe and a group of ragged border soldiers were escorted to the bottom of the city wall, squatting there with their heads in their hands.

He and the other border soldiers watched with horror as a group of generals with torches walked past them, and a border soldier next to him whispered to Zhao Lianhe and asked, "Old Zhao, aren't you fucking in the city, how did these thieves enter the city?" ”

Zhao Lianhe smiled bitterly and said, "These thieves came down from the sky......

The group of border soldiers next to him didn't believe it when they heard it, and they immediately scolded one after another, making Zhao Lianhe so angry that he almost turned his back on him, you don't believe it, I still don't believe it, but these guys really came down from the sky. But he knew that if he didn't see it with his own eyes, no one would fucking believe it.

"Are these guys thieves?" A border soldier next to him muttered quietly.

Zhao Lianhe shook his head and said, "Fucking bullshit, have you ever seen such a thief?" Even Grandpa Qi's soldiers didn't have such a military momentum back then. Look at what people are wearing, and besides, will the thieves come from outside Zhenyuan Pass? ”

At this time, the forts, dungeons and most of the forts on the banks of the Yellow River were controlled by the Far Eastern Army. Although these border forts were easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Far Eastern Army took advantage of the dark night to reach the city of the border forts and threw a few gas shells at these border forts with a 40-millimeter grenade launcher.

These border troops were choked with tears by the pungent breath, and before they could even light the beacon fire, they were occupied by the Far Eastern Army. The Far Eastern Army wasted almost not a single shot or bullet, and easily controlled the border fort near Zhenyuan Pass.

The Taole Causeway on the other side of the east bank of the Yellow River was also occupied by the Far Eastern Army, so that the Far Eastern Army's inland steam deck barge fleet went directly south along the Yellow River, and countless core deck barge fleets stretched for more than ten miles, almost covering the surface of the Yellow River, and rushed into the defense area of Ningxia Town.
