Kuixing Pavilion is not very far from the pontoon bridge, and soon, Gao Jinzhong saw clearly the flags accompanying the cavalry, all of which are square flags, and it seems that in each flag, there are patterns of green dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, and Xuanwu, and then in the middle, there are golden sun, moon and waves, replacing the places where the surnames of the generals should be embroidered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

These flags, all red, give people a feeling of passion, and then look at the eight-petal hats and iron-pointed helmets of those cavalrymen, in an instant, Gao Jinzhong understood everything, and his face was even more pale.

"My lord, you should close the city gate immediately and recruit your brothers to defend it."

The entourage beside him also understood, all of them were terrified, it seems that the Yongning Marquis Wang Dou is following the move of the East Road, and he is going to do it to the merchants, Zhangjiakou is an important place for trade and commerce, and Wang Dou has sent so many elite horsemen to come.

Listening to the advice of his subordinates, Gao Jinzhong just shook his head, and he sighed: "It's too late, and it's ......"

Seeing the sound of hooves outside the city like thunder, smoke and dust rolling, a steady stream of cavalry crossing the river, the cavalry in the vanguard, even faster to the two city gates, and even, Gao Jinzhong also saw the artillery of the rear army, then, is it the Hongyi cannon? Gao Jinzhong's face turned paler.

He said decadently: "Don't hit the stone with an egg, do useless work, although we have benefits, but life is more important." ”

He made up his mind: "Open the city gate wide, let us welcome the officers and soldiers from the east road." ”

At the same time, he ordered: "Also, quickly send people and horses to inform the two adults of Wanquan Right Acropolis and Longmen Acropolis." ”

He sighed and muttered, "That's all I can do......"

……

When Wen Fangliang arrived outside the Yongzhen Gate, the first-class army in the front and left had already controlled the two city gates, and Gao Jinzhong accompanied him with a smile and greeted him outside the city gate, in a short time. He also brought in several representatives of the gentry who were trembling all over.

Wen Fangliang directly showed him the order: "By the order of the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Yamen." Investigating Fan Yongdou, Jin Liangyu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, and Cao Sanxi and others collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, the evidence was conclusive, and they were ordered to arrest and bring to justice a gang of thieves. Confiscated rape, high garrison, Ben will hope you cooperate! ”

Gao Jinzhong nodded and said, "Yes, yes." The lower officials must cooperate, and they must cooperate. ”

Although he was forced to calm himself, the iron cavalry soldiers densely lined up on both sides of the city in front of him were too oppressive to him, and he still couldn't help but tremble.

In Gao Jinzhong's eyes, these Jingbian soldiers have excellent iron helmets, and the helmets range from red tassels to blue tassels. All of them wore a hooded hat, sleeves to the elbows, and a fur bib, warm and thick, with sleeves. At the placket, at the hem, the color is blue and red, and the color is pleasing to the eye.

They also wore sashes and copper buckles, which were even more powerful, and in their demeanor, the shining nail leaves between their arms and hands were exposed from time to time, dazzling.

Gao Jinzhong keenly noticed that there was a slip of red velvet on the shoulders of some armor soldiers, and a small pompom was picked up on the left and right.

Those armor soldiers are already elite enough, and these armor soldiers with red velvet on their shoulders are even more sturdy, and they can't help but tremble when they look at them.

Gao Jinzhong knew that these people were the first-class soldiers in the Jingbian Army, and he sighed in his heart, looking at their equipment, they were all in the battalions, and even generals did not necessarily have them, but here they were an ordinary soldier who could have them, and with their momentum, they were worthy of being the first elite of the nine sides.

At the same time that Gao Jin was loyal and cold, his subordinates were not much better, they were all trembling, and sure enough, it was correct for the lord to order the door to open the door to greet him, and the army in front of him was defending himself behind closed doors, and he couldn't hold it for much longer, and after breaking the city, these officers and soldiers on the East Road had a reason to kill them.

Seeing that Gao Jinzhong was interested, Wen Fangliang put away the proclamation with satisfaction, and he waved his hand: "The army is entering the city!" ”

For the soldiers and civilians of Zhangjiakou, a series of things happened very suddenly, suddenly, the Jingbian army on the east road came to the city, and then the high garrison opened the door, and then the army entered the city.

The horses' hooves roared, and many merchants and residents, either standing on the edge of the house in a daze, or avoiding them in horror, looked at the cavalry of the Jingbian Army, coming from the other side of the street, they counted the horses in a row, marched neatly, and the iron hooves hit the bluestone street, a neat roar.

The oppressive force of disciplined troops has always been strong, especially these Jingbian troops, who are young and strong, who are dressed in clothes, hats, helmets, arms and hands, and healthy horses, and the oppressive force is even more amazing.

They rode in silence, pikemen, with their spears on the victorious hooks of their saddles, and the birds, carrying their guns behind their backs, and as they went, the whole city fell silent, and only the sound of hooves seemed to flow.

In the ranks, a voice shouted: "Ordered, under the command of the Marquis of Yongning, the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion of the Jingbian Army, arrest the traitors, and when the application is raised, the whole city will be under martial law!" The general order is not to stay in the market, not to gather crowds, not to attack the officers and soldiers, and violators will be killed! ”

"The benevolent and righteous division of the Jingbian Army has strict military discipline, and there is no act of harassing the people, so the people do not need to panic!"

As the army continued to enter the city, the notices continued to sound, and the people of Zhangjiakou woke up, like the howl of mourning, calling children and daughters, calling fathers and mothers, and running away in a mess, and then closing the doors one by one after returning home.

The whole city suddenly became noisy, and then soon fell silent again, and the sound of hooves marched neatly, and many people looked at the army from the crack in the door in horror, and the streets and alleys were full of irrepressible sobs and whispers.

Of course, some people couldn't accept such a result, they panicked, and when they urgently recruited their family members, they also converged into a puzzle and anger: "What is Gao Jinzhong, the dog thief, doing, why doesn't he stick to it behind closed doors?" ”

The army marched to the Bell and Drum Tower, which is already the center of the city, Zhangjiakou Fort Street, and the four sides of the Drum Tower are the main streets, which are called the East Street, South Street, West Street, and North Street respectively.

Wen Fangliang unceremoniously used the Bell and Drum Tower as the camp headquarters' station, and the battalion generals, as well as the Chinese officers, reported to Wen Fangliang that the army not only controlled the east and south gates, but also controlled the Jade Emperor Pavilion on the north city wall.

There was no gate, but a hole was made in the wall for pedestrians to enter.

But it is the Han and Mongolian mutual markets after the Longqing and the meeting, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of officials, there are also merchants and merchants who pay special for their affairs, not far from the inside of the small door, there is a council office, which is responsible for the border city trade.

"Our army has closed its doors and beaten dogs. There are traitors living in the city, and there is no way to escape. ”

The lieutenant officer finally said.

Gao Jinzhong stood aside at a loss, listening to the words of these East Road generals. They had been plotting against Zhangjiakou for a long time, and they were even more chilled, and after thinking about it, he smiled at Wen Fangliang and said, "General." Can you ask the lower officials to recommend a guide to find the location of those profiteers' treasury for the army? ”

Wen Fangliang glanced at him, and then looked at the map of Zhangjiakou hanging on the wind. smiled and said, "No need, I will believe more, I will be more convinced that I will make a detailed report in the Jingbian Army." ”

Gao Jinzhong looked embarrassed and said, "Yes, yes......"

Wen Fangliang waved his hand to his subordinates: "According to the predetermined strategy, start arresting the thief." Raid the adulterous property! ”

The generals of the left camp collectively clenched their fists, and the nail leaves made a clanging sound, and they shouted: "The last general will take the order!" ”

……

Zhangjiakou Castle was quiet for a short time, and suddenly there was a loud hoof, which sounded everywhere in the streets and alleys. Then there was the shouting of killing, and the sound of birds falling one after another, accompanied by the sound of crying, groaning, and screaming, and many soldiers and civilians in the fort were even more terrified.

"Arrest the thief and confiscate the adulterous property!"

The left battalion army came out in all directions, and under the guidance of the personnel of the intelligence department in the fort, they continued to break down the door, causing bursts of screams.

"This is one of the Fan family's warehouses in Zhangjiakou."

Pointing to a tall warehouse collapsed in an alley on Wucheng Street, Liu Jun said that at this time, what he was guiding was a team of soldiers on the left, accompanied by him, and a town in the battalion, who was responsible for registering the seizure of the warehouse.

The officer looked at the warehouse in front of him, it seemed that it was still an official room, but he didn't expect it, but it was occupied by profiteers, and he didn't know what was shady in it.

He hugged Liu Jun with a fist: "It's hard work." ”

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand: "Break the door!" ”

Some 10,000 enemies threw in from outside the wall, and at the same time, there was a "whoosh", the door of the warehouse was smashed open, and some sword and shield soldiers poured in first, then the bird soldiers followed, and then the pikemen.

The first-class soldiers in the Jingbian Army are all skilled in swords, guns, and shields, and the baggage teams in the battalion are also equipped with some commonly used weapons and equipment.

Considering the possible street battles and house battles, it is naturally impossible to use all spears and birds, so many officers and soldiers have changed their weapons.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a wide compound inside, the flesh and blood were blurred by the door, a few wounded people were lying in a pool of blood crying and moaning, and a few people in front of them were looking at the soldiers of the Jingbian Army who broke through the door in fear.

A man who looked like an official suddenly shouted: "The thieves on the east road want to rob us of food and clothing, and fight with them." ”

Immediately, the men beside him, the guards or something, all gritted their teeth, all armed with sticks, knives and guns, shouted and rushed over, some of them were also armed with bows, arrows and firearms, and their demeanor was also fierce, most likely local officers and soldiers.

"Shoot!"

The officer shouted.

Some sword and shield soldiers in the front row squatted, and then the sound of bean-like bird guns sounded, and the smoke of gunpowder was heavy, and some people rushing in front were shot, screaming and falling.

"Shoot!"

The team officer shouted the order.

The birdmen in front retreated, and the rear continued to shoot.

There was another clatter, and some people fell, groaning in pain.

"Ahh

The men were defeated, and one by one, including the stewards, staggered and fled to some of the tall warehouses in the rear, leaving behind the wounded who were crying on the ground, and some of the dead corpses.

"Chase!"

As soon as the officer waved his hand, the sword, shield, and pikemen immediately chased forward, armed with their weapons.

"Spare your life!"

The steward accidentally fell into a dog and ate, and as soon as he struggled to get up, he saw a Jingbian saber and shield soldier and a pikeman, who had chased him in front of him.

He was distraught and screamed in a hurry.

The sword flashed, the sword and shield soldier had already slashed his head and face at him, the steward was slashed, and he howled heartbreakingly, he didn't know where the strength came from, and he grabbed the blade tightly with both hands, and the sword and shield soldier pulled it out hard, but he couldn't pull it out for a while.

Another flash of cold light, a spear, stabbed at him, instantly stabbed him in the lower abdomen, and the butler's mouth gushed bloody foam, and the pain was unbearable......

Soon, in this collapsed house, all the people who dared to resist died, and the rest of the wolves rushed to the bone, not knowing what to do.

"All kneel, die to those who resist!"

The officer shouted.

Those people waited and knelt down in a hurry, all crying in terror.

Leaving a few men to guard, the officer led the team into the warehouse, and they kicked open the doors to see if they were either piled up with bulging sacks or other parcel boxes.

The spear stabbed down. Immediately golden wheat sprouted from the breach, shining with an alluring sheen, and the collapsed house was in every room. There are also a large amount of salt, tea, candy, silk, cloth, sheepskin boxes, tobacco and many other commercial goods......

The dazzling commercial goods are endless, and the town will register them one by one, and finally the harvest will be registered. Handed over to the shogunate.

Although the wealth is moving, the officers and men of the Jingbian Army who have confiscated them are unmoved. If there is corruption, the punishment afterwards is very severe, not to mention the loss of everything, and even affect family members and friends.

Second, in the eyes of the soldiers, their merits are obviously more important than these treasures, and they are also recorded as meritorious deeds when they are sent out to raid them. There is news that the operation is over, and after celebrating the birthday of the general, the reward of acres of land outside the Saiwai will be carried out soon.

According to the current development momentum of the Jingbian Army. In the future, the reward of acres and houses is very likely to be calculated according to the mile, and these are all based on merit points, if a person will soon have a huge sum of 100,000 yuan, no one will lose a lot of money because of a small loss, and he will be tempted by the ten yuan that will harm his future.

In addition to these commercial goods, in some warehouses, there are a large number of ginseng, mink, medicinal materials and other goods, and even in some boxes, there are a large number of gold, silver and porcelain, as well as blood-stained jewelry, looking at the style, it is actually the Central Plains style.

Undoubtedly, this was the money for the Tartars to buy commercial goods from the profiteers, who may not have had time to transport them back to their hometowns.

Liaodong fur medicinal materials are popular in the Central Plains, in the post-Jin era, Nurhachi used these commercial goods, a large number of smuggling weapons and armor with profiteers, no profiteers smuggling, Nurhachi with only thirteen pairs of armor can really start? Joke.

And these profiteers for personal gain, really mad, the Qing soldiers captured the silver and two wealth, a steady stream of into their hands, these jewelry, I don't know which Han family owned by the people, and then look at the blood marks on the jewelry, these families, must have died tragically.

……

The Jingbian Army, which had been raided and arrested, rumbled through the streets and alleys from time to time, and many elite horsemen of the left battalion rushed out of the city and rushed straight to Xiaobai Mountain, Taiping Mountain, and other places outside the city, and raided the collapsed houses and warehouses of profiteers in those places.

The residents of the entire Zhangjiakou Fort closed their doors tightly one by one, waiting for the matter to pass as soon as possible.

There are also many people who grit their teeth, even ordinary residents, who profit from smuggling and have made a living from it for generations, and they are worried that they will not know whether their financial routes will be cut off in the future, and whether there is any possibility of making a living from it.

And in the warehouses of the houses, the profiteers resisted with surprisingly tenacity, and almost no one obediently tied their hands were captured, and they always had to resist stubbornly. Perhaps, they also have a reason, this is to protect their family property and family, but they have no thoughts of family and country in their hearts.

If it weren't for Gao Jinzhong opening the door, the merchants in the city were caught off guard, and there was no organization, and the soldiers and civilians of Zhangjiakou Fort were closed before the arrival of the army, perhaps Wen Fangliang's left battalion army would not be able to capture the city for a while.

Not only that, because Zhangjiakou is a smuggling area in Xuanzhen, the local heroes, and most of the military and civilian people also make a living from this, so after the panic, they also slowly reacted, and some people ignored the martial law and secretly went out of the house to help the profiteers.

There were even a large number of officers and soldiers who quietly left the camp to join.

Although Gao Jinzhong was determined to cooperate with Wen Fangliang, he couldn't control his subordinates who were hungry for profit, and at this time, many subordinates had already hated Gao Jinzhong, who was determined to open the door to the duel, even if some of his entourage beside him at that time slowly regretted it.

As a result, the officers and men of the left battalion of the Jingbian Army, from the beginning of the Shen Shi, the sound of guns and shouts of killing in Zhangjiakou Fort has been ringing non-stop, but in the face of absolute force, all their resistance is futile, only to let the streets, or in the warehouse, the fallen corpses and wounded more and more.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, and the blood they shed condensed into slippery red ice in the cold wind, which made people frightened to see.

"This collapsed house, although it belongs to the Cao family, but my family's garrison wife, as well as Lord Lai of the Right Acropolis, have all invested money in it, and you can't copy it."

In the desperate roar, they were responded to by the sound of a gun.

On the streets of Beiguan, a group of local guards wearing fox hats, leather jackets and leather trousers, and shoes on their feet, armed with weapons, intended to intercept a group of soldiers in the rear of the left battalion who were about to raid the warehouse in front of them.

However, the team only fired a round of bullets at them, killing and wounding some people, and they howled and were defeated.

Look at the scene of their wolves running to the pigs. A calmer beside him said to the officer: "These officers and soldiers have become routs, unless they are captured." Otherwise, they must be slaughtered as they all, lest they be angry and set fire to the city and cause a commotion in the city. ”

The officer nodded. Drink order: "First, second, third." Get on the horse and chase them, leave no one behind, and hack them all to death......"

On the bell and drum tower, looking at the seizure books and accounts that were constantly sent from all over the place, Wen Fangliang nodded with satisfaction, Zhangjiakou is worthy of being an important place for all of you to trade goods, this harvest. It is abundant, and after a series of harvests, the general has sufficient financial and cargo resources, and the Jingbian Army can be expanded again. The group in which I belong is also expanding.

Beside Wen Fangliang, Gao Jinzhong looked at the smiling Jingbian soldiers and others with a pale face, fidgeting, the fierce resistance in the city was beyond his expectations, so much blood was shed, so many people died, and his fate in the future may not be good.

At this time, he saw a confidant family member in his house, who was taken by a soldier of the Jingbian Army, shrunk upstairs, he glanced at those Jingbian officers and generals in fear, walked up to him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Mrs. is crying in the house, and the little ones can't be persuaded by them." ”

Gao Jinzhong gritted his teeth: "This stinky woman will cause chaos to Lao Tzu." ”

He thought about it for a while, and said with a smile to Wen Fangliang: "General Wen, something happened in the Xiaguan Mansion, can you ......?"

Wen Fangliang's gaze turned on Gao Jinzhong's face, and when he saw that he was terrified, he grinned and patted Gao Jinzhong's shoulder: "Old Gao, your cooperation will be seen in the eyes of the generals, and the future generals may not be without your share in rewarding meritorious deeds...... What's going on in the house? Go, go, yes, get a pass and go......"

Gao Jinzhong took the order and nodded: "Thank you, general, the next official will go." ”

He took his entourage and family, went downstairs, walked on the street, saw that the street was empty, there was no one around, only the elite armored soldiers and cavalry of the left battalion were constantly coming and going, and there were blood stains on the street from time to time, and suddenly heard a burst of gunfire nearby, and some businessmen who were crying for their fathers and mothers were being escorted to a certain place by some Jingbian troops.

He didn't dare to look more, and there were constantly people checking along the way, but fortunately, there was a pass order, and there was finally no danger along the way.

He returned to the garrison mansion in shock, and when he arrived in the backyard hall, he heard bursts of crying and couldn't help but be upset.

Then, I saw a fat, beady-haired woman screaming over, it was his wife Lai, but it was Lai Zhucui, the ninth sister of Lai Tianlu, the general of the right guard on the west road of Xuanfu.

"You damn it, open the door and let a group of robbers in, look, look, Gao Jinzhong, our storehouse and shop have been raided."

Gao Jinzhong looked at this woman and frowned, this woman, before she got married, she was quite slender, how did she get fatter and fatter after getting married, so that she lost her appetite, and she was extremely jealous, and several concubines she raised were all killed by her, for the sake of his brother, he swallowed his anger, but ......

He said coldly: "That's your Lai family's shop warehouse, and it has nothing to do with me Gao Jinzhong." ”

"Ahh

Lai Shi screamed, ran over and scuffled Gao Jinzhong: "You have no conscience, before you got married, you called people Xiao Cuicui, talked sweetly, flattered me in every way, and flattered my brother, so I gave you Zhangjiakou to guard, and now your wings are hard, you can fly by yourself?" No conscience......"

Gao Jinzhong was caught off guard, she grabbed a few blood marks on her face, anger rose from her heart, and she was angry and angry, and she slapped her in the face suddenly, hitting her with a bang, and flew out to the side, and some maids beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Gao Jinzhong pointed at her and yelled angrily: "You slut, it's okay not to mention this, as soon as I mention this, I will be angry!" ”

"Tell me, tell me, after marrying you, how angry did I Gao Jinzhong suffer from your Lai family? Even the wealth and silver in the house are in your hands...... Haha, you also send me a monthly bill every month, just one or two pieces of silver, do you think I'm a son-in-law pariah? ”

Lai Shi covered her face, looking at Gao Jinzhong's hideous expression, she couldn't believe it, the person in front of her was her husband who had whispered to her before, she shook off the maid suddenly, and screamed: "Ah, you hit me? The old lady fought with you! ”

Gao Jinzhong slapped him, whipped Lai's away, and then ordered left and right: "Madam is confused, lock her in the house, and no one is allowed to let her come out without my permission...... The situation is urgent right now, and the big guy can't be killed by her......"

Then he sneered: "What shit Lai Tianlu, Lai Tianmin, think it's before?" Wang Dou will soon enter the town. Whether they will survive or not is hard to say. ”

……

Zhangjiakou Fort belongs to the smuggling and trade of each family, confiscated the property inside and outside the fort, and arrested the caravan steward under the name of each person inside and outside the fort. From the 24th to the 25th, all matters were finally concluded.

There are countless confiscated treasures, grains and grasses. The specific amount, which was appeased by the battalion and the baggage officials, is still being counted urgently.

Martial law remained in the fort. In the streets and alleys, there were no pedestrians, and all the resistance had disappeared, leaving only thunderous news to spread in all directions.

On the morning of the 26th, Wen Fangliang received a report from the sentry horseman. The left guard and the right guard direction were all forced by Tianlu's army, each with about a few thousand people, in addition to these battalion soldiers and guard soldiers, there were also some military households from the military fort. was also agitated, and even recruited women and children, and rushed to Zhangjiakou with great momentum.

The sentinel cavalry also has a return, Lai Tianlu's younger brother, Lai Tianmin, the general of the Dushi Horse Battalion on the North Road of the Longmen Acropolis, received news from Zhangjiakou and is recruiting people and horses.

Even some military officials and generals in the town are ready to move.

"They're coming so fast?"

Gao Jinzhong, who was standing beside Wen Fangliang respectfully, was taken aback.

After the events of the day before yesterday, he also thought about it, he had no way to retreat, he had to follow the Jingbian army, if they did not retreat and wait for their fate, it would be very miserable.

Yesterday, some officers and men in his battalion secretly went out of the camp to confront the Jingbian army, and almost all the casualties were exhausted, but fortunately, these people were not his henchmen, and no matter how many casualties there were, he did not care.

Although Gao Jinzhong was the garrison of Zhangjiakou, many officers and soldiers in the battalion were cronies of the Lai family, or were bought by many businessmen, and he almost felt hollowed out in the fort.

So on the 25th, after asking Wen Fangliang for instructions, he hurriedly recruited the defenders who obeyed him, and began to clean the streets and maintain order in the castle, which also helped Wen Fangliang a little.

The surviving officers and soldiers were also frightened one by one, and obediently obeyed Gao Jinzhong's arrangements and orders.

"They are too slow to react, Lai Tianlu and the others, are they turtles?"

got the information, but Wen Fangliang didn't care, and made a joke, and the generals of the left battalion upstairs all laughed.

……

On the 29th, Zhong Xiancai led the first-class army of the White Tiger Battalion of the right guard, and Wang Pu's general Wang Zheng arrived outside Datong City.

Although the distance from Yulinbao to Datong City is more than 400 miles, according to the marching speed of the cavalry of the Jingbian Army, it is cold and freezing, and it does not take so long, mainly because Wang Zheng's army has slowed down the speed.

Although the elite cavalry he led were all in the camp of Datong Town, it was obvious that the level of elite was far from being comparable with that of the Jingbian Army.

Sigh!

Zhong Xiancai rode a white horse, in the wind and snow, when he reined in the horse, the healthy horse under the crotch neighed, and snorted hard, the sturdy front hooves slashed the hard ground, and between the mouth and nose, a thick white gas was spewed.

When he was not far from Dongguan, Zhong Xiancai stopped and stood on his horse to look at the majestic Phoenix City in front of him.

Wang Zhengce was beside him, and behind the two of them, there were dense fine horses, and in the snowflakes, flying flags loomed.

……

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Li Guangheng led the cavalry battalion of the Chinese army, as well as Gao Shiyin and Han Chao, and each led the first class army in the battalion, together with Li Yunshu and others, to arrive at the city of Taiyuan.

Along the way, they also encountered several interceptions.

After receiving the news of the failure of the business war, everyone immediately hurried day and night, fled back to Taiyuan Mansion from Hunyuan Prefecture, they first made public opinion, saying that if Wang Dou did it to them, he would be the enemy of the whole world, hoping to make Wang Dou a rat trap.

After all, although Wang Dou had old things in the past, Donglu was only a small place, and the three towns of Xuanda were involved.

In preparation for a rainy day, they also recruited family members, and at the same time scattered a lot of money, desperately co-opting the guards and officials everywhere, promising all kinds of benefits, hoping that in case of change, they could follow the same breath.

They even wooed the King of Jin in the palace of Taiyuan City, no matter how bold Wang Dou was, he still dared to do something to the vassal king?

After waiting for a few days, everyone didn't hear any movement, they all laughed, saying that Wang Dou was a rat after all, and he didn't dare to do anything to them.

However, after laughing on the front foot, they received the news on the back foot that Wang Dou had actually sent troops, with more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, a color cavalry, and the officers and soldiers of Datong Town and Shanxi Town, who were stunned at the same time. They even tried their best to promote Wang Dou's misdeeds.

At this time, they also received information that the Wang family had already rebelled, and they couldn't think about it after being angry.

And because he can run, the monk can't run the temple. Everyone is not allowed to get together, after all, they belong to Jiexiu, Taigu, Pingyang and other places, even if the people are not there, the family property is there. They had to go back to their respective cities, and at the same time they resisted stubbornly, and at the same time agreed to take care of each other. Seek the same thing.

Under their vigorous activities, the army of the East Route came along the way, and encountered many attacks, first at Pingxingguan, where the local officers and soldiers intended to ambush the Jingbian army and others who were hurrying on the road.

However, the Jingbian Army is not the Japanese army, and it attaches the most importance to it. It was the intelligence sentinel, in front of the popular military horses, it was the galloping night soldiers who did not collect soldiers, and it was easy to find out about their ambush.

Lee Kwang Heng cavalry battalion. With just one dispatch and one flank attack, thousands of officers and soldiers in ambush were routed, and the Pingxing guard general in charge of the operation was killed on the spot.

In Daizhou and Xinzhou, they also encountered the interception of officers and soldiers, and they were all defeated, and the guards of Fanzhi were respectful in person, but they wanted to lead the army to cut off behind them, and went to the back of the Jingbian army in Taiyuan Prefecture, and they were also defeated by the guards and horses, and the guards were killed.

What are fighting bandits, rebels, horse thieves, and even rogues, pretending to be Li Zicheng's military horses, all the way over, I don't know how many defeated, the army is mighty, all the way non-stop, or quickly arrived at the city of Taiyuan.

……

On the 26th, at noon, hunting in the cold wind, Wen Fangliang led the three soldiers of the left battalion to neatly line up in Zhangjiakou Fort, a few miles of wilderness to the north.

According to the intelligence of the sentinel cavalry, Wen Fangliang judged that the military horses that Lai Tianlu was forcing from the direction of the right guard would arrive outside Zhangjiakou one step faster, and the team coming from the left guard might not arrive until the afternoon.

Therefore, after urgent discussion, Wen Fangliang decided to defeat the men and horses of this section first, and then deal with the left guard men and horses who were forcing in the direction of the south gate.

After leaving a second-class army to defend the city, Wen Fangliang pulled out all the remaining three troops and decided to complete the battle in a short time with the momentum of thunder.

Wen Fangliang's military formation was arranged with a second-class army in the center, and they dismounted and lined up, with 400 birds and guns in front and 400 pikemen in the rear, each divided into four rows.

Then some artillery was at the forefront, and a first-class army on each flank, all marched in formation.

In the clairvoyant mirror, Wen Fangliang saw that there were piles of officers and soldiers on the West Road in front of him who were in the official road and the field, and there were piles of officers and soldiers on the West Road with scattered uniforms and banners.

Most of them were infantry, with few cavalry, and there was no queue at all, and there was no discipline at all, although they could not be heard from afar, but some could faintly see the shape of the mouths of some people, some laughing loudly, others cursing.

Wen Fangliang shook his head, how can such an army fight for the country?

However, at this time, they are considered enemies of the left battalion, and naturally the worse the better.

When they approached Erli, they had not yet formed a team, nor had they formed an effective military formation, although when they came, they also sent sentry horses, but they were intercepted by the army at night, and they probably did not know that the soldiers of the left battalion carried Hongyi cannons.

And because there was some wind and snow today, they didn't have a clairvoyant mirror, and they couldn't see the situation here clearly, so they swaggered, not knowing that a catastrophe was coming.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, still swaggering and messing up, Wen Fangliang shook his head again, and then shouted: "Fire!" ”

When a Hongyi cannon of the left battalion was test-fired, the officers and soldiers of the Shangxi Road finally began to line up, and then they heard the sound of artillery on the opposite side, and they were collectively shocked.

Then I saw a cannonball whizzing over, accurately shooting into the pile, breaking a piece of flesh and blood, and when the fragments of armor and weapons flew up, it bounced on the hard ground, taking away more thighs, calves and arms.

"Ahh

Many of them exclaimed.

Listening to the loud roar on the opposite side, the smoke rose, and more shells whistled over, and as the shells continued to shoot in, the blood mist continued to explode everywhere, the crackling fractures made loud noises, and the hoarse screams were exhausted, and the officers and soldiers on the West Road were terrified and confused, and they didn't know what to do.

The hypsophic artillery on the opposite side continued to fire, and at the same time, a cannonball cut off a soldier's waist, and at the same time, it rushed over, knocking down all the flags in front of him.

In the howl of fear, the frightened people suddenly heard a shocking sound like a torrent of thunder from the left and right, and in the wind and snow, they saw that two torrents of iron horses like blue and red tides were sticking towards their wings.

The two iron streams were rushing endlessly, like a giant dragon overturning the river and the sea, and it seemed that the killing aura that enveloped the heavens and the earth soared into the sky, and all the officers and soldiers of the Shangxi Road were stunned by these two terrifying momentum, and some even forgot to escape.

Until one of them uttered a heart-rending and desperate voice: "Ah, the cavalry is coming, run!" ”

With a bang, the officers and soldiers of the Shangxi Road were collectively defeated, and they ran around in all directions, as if they were deadly, all of them did not care about their heads and tails, and they only wished that they could grow a few more legs.

It seems that in the crowd, some people shouted loudly, but the officers and soldiers of the Shangxi Road only cared about fleeing for their lives, who still obeyed the order?

Then these people had no choice but to flee with them.

Boom!

The iron horses galloped, and the horse's hooves struck on the cold ground, making a heavy sound, like a drumbeat that made people shudder.

The first-class soldiers of the two divisions chased and killed on horseback, and they wanted to let fear be deeply imprinted in the hearts of these officers and soldiers on the Upper West Road.

Let them know that if they dare to fight the Jingbian army and the enemy, there is only one way to die.

In the wind and snow, in the cold weather, the sound of the war horse's nose is intertwined, and from a distance, the thick white gas emitted by the war horse seems to converge into a stream of white dragons.

They chased and killed in teams, the main thing was to pursue some officers and soldiers with more complete armor and uniforms, and a little bit of fierceness, looking at their equipment, it was estimated that they were the reinforcement battalion generals under Lai Tianlu, and I don't know if Lai Tianlu was there.

Although these people were battalion soldiers, but under the sudden rout, they had no desire to fight, only knew how to flee desperately, along the way, they left behind many corpses and wounded, and the blood they shed, in the cold wind, seemed to merge into a small river, first steaming hot, and then quickly condensed, forming a blood-colored ice river.

In a panic, many people fled to the Qingshui River, crossed the river by the ice, and wanted to escape to the opposite side.

I don't know what happened, or they were too unlucky, suddenly the ice collapsed in the river, and in the scream, many people and horses who escaped fell into the river. (To be continued.) )
