(The new January begins, please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass in your hand!) Thank you for your monthly ticket support, Cannavaro 5, 110505152821, and handsome guys who love beautiful women, thank you! )
July 10 of the first year of Guangming.
In the northern mountainous area of Mt. Gozu, it has been raining heavily since the night before. It wasn't raining very much, but it was a thundershower, and the sun came out next, and then it came down again not long after. The heavy rain washed away the already muddy and difficult roads, and in some low-lying places, even a thick layer of rainwater has accumulated, and some small streams have gathered rainwater from the mountains in a blink of an eye, becoming a turbulent torrent. This kind of weather makes this section of the mountain valley road from Shuozhou Shenwu Gray Water River to Daizhou Yanmen Pass more difficult to walk.
This is a dangerous valley road, and Yanmen Pass is the fortress guarding the dangerous hole in this entrance to the Gouzhu Mountain.
At this time, thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared on this dangerous passage, heading towards Yanmen Pass. It was a strange army, and the cavalry were dressed in a variety of ways, some typical of nomads, others with hair tied and dressed in left clothes. There were also a considerable number of knights who wore black military robes and armor. They also spoke a variety of words, and some of them sang songs as they walked.
Their queues dragged on for a long time, mostly because of road constraints. At the head of this procession were cavalry of about 100 horsemen, who had gone more than ten miles beyond most of them, and searched cautiously to advance, and at the slightest disturbance they would stop and hide themselves behind the trees and rocks beside the road. Yanmen Pass is still far from here, and they have just had a large army go out of the pass. Therefore, it is very likely that the remaining defenders in the pass will not send Tanma so far.
But. They remain cautious. Just in case. Occasionally, on this road leading to Daibei, there will be some merchants, woodcutters, and hunters, who will immediately arrest them and then march together in the group. While these hapless creatures are unlikely to be enemy spies, they are still cautious.
It's too dangerous here, and if the enemy knows what's going on, they'll just have to lock the city then. And they looked at it and sighed.
Ten miles or so behind the hundred horsemen, there were most of the soldiers and horses, they were all infantry, or just auxiliaries with a spear and not even a piece of armor. There were about 1,000 of them, but they were carrying more than 200 captives tied in strings of ropes. The captives, numbering about two hundred, were covered in blood, had disheveled hair, and had no armor. Under the escort of the auxiliaries, he moved forward very honestly.
Behind them. It is a black-armored cavalry of about 100 people, and an auxiliary army of about 1,000 people holding spears.
"Brother Dong. Do you think this method will really work? ”
An ugly cavalryman in his twenties looked up at the sky, and there were dark clouds in the sky, but there were rays of golden light in the gaps. No one can say for sure whether the next moment will be sunny or rainy. He snorted under his breath and said, "This strategy is a little simpler, but you also have to see who he is dealing with." If Li Ke is used in Yanmen, it will definitely not work. But now, who is there in Yanmen Pass? Even Cheng Huaiyi lost his life when he went out of the customs, and now there are some old and weak people in the customs, and they all know how to play a ball. I admire Zhang Dashuai's strategy, simple but practical. After speaking, he gently wiped the rain on his face, and said to the auxiliary soldier who was walking on the ground who was asking: "Remember to follow us closely, don't talk then, just keep quiet." If we really win Yanmen, we are all indispensable for rewards. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, a tall and thin young man ran over with a spear on his shoulders and said, "Brother Dong, blind man, no, it was Captain Chen who invited you to come over and talk." ”
He nodded, and followed the tall and lanky boy.
This guy dressed in cavalry uniform is Song Wendong, the guy who participated in the Minfu camp with the blind man on the bank of the Greywater River. He was originally a petty officer of the Cheng German Army, but because he was not optimistic about the Cheng German Army as a deserter, he was arrested by the Yanmen Army, but he cooperated with Chen Bing, the secret agent of the Qin Army's Military Intelligence Department, who was codenamed Blind Man, and he made a contribution. In the battle of the Greywater River, not only survived, but also killed several Shatuo soldiers. After the war, he had voluntarily joined the Western Expeditionary Army and was temporarily given the position of deputy of the team. The blind man is the captain of the Zheng Jiupin, and he is now under the temporary command of the blind man.
It didn't take long for Song Wendong to see the old blind man, no, it should be said that it was his team leader A Bingchen who accompanied Rong. He rode a white horse, changed into a navy blue half-body armor, and did not wear the wolf helmet, the whole person was a bit of a high temperament, and the trivial fortune-telling old blind man he knew was completely different. He was leaning sideways slightly, talking to a few officers around him, and when he saw him coming, Ah Bing didn't wait for him to salute, so he said, "Should I call you Song Wendong or Song Wentong?" Team Leader Song, you are a little unfathomable, and you don't have the truth to anyone. I'm a little skeptical now, whether you are a detailed work sent by the Boye Army of Chengde Town. ”
"Xiao's real name is Song Wentong, I didn't think to hide anything, it's just" Song Wentong wiped the sweat from his forehead, he didn't expect that this blind man was so powerful, and he even knew the real name he had been hiding since he left Chengde Town. It seems that his own details must have been clearly known by Qin Jun. Fortunately, he was not a fine worker, otherwise he would have died.
The blind man didn't have much patience to listen to his explanation, "It doesn't matter if your name is Song Wentong or Song Wendong, as long as you don't want to do anything unfavorable to Qin Jun." Now I will give you a task, we will go to the Yanmen Pass in a while, this time we have to rely on those Shatuo captives to trick into the pass, but these captives can't be fully trusted, so you will pretend to be Shatuo cavalry in a while, mix behind those few leaders, keep an eye on them, if they dare to make a move, you will finish them off. ”
"Am I alone?" Song Wentong now doesn't have the grandeur of half of the camp in the people's camp, although the blind man is just a small sesame officer, but he is an officer in the Qin army, much better than him, who has just been temporarily appointed as a deputy of the team, but even has a formal official body.
"One person is enough, you will have ten earth-shaking thunderbolts tied to your body in a while, if they make a move, you can directly light the fire and die with them." The blind man said carelessly.
Song Wentong's face turned red and white for a while when he heard it, but fortunately, the blind man's words were just a joke. This time, the order given to him was to let him and some of the civilians in the Shatuo army and some Qin soldiers act as the personal soldiers of those who surrendered to the Shatuo officers.
After the Battle of the Greywater River, Zhang Zimian had already quickly moved south, preparing to capture Yanmen. However, although there were only 5,000 old and weak left in Yanmen, Zhang Zimian did not take it lightly, and did not plan to attack it. His plan was to let a group of surrendered Shatuo soldiers escort a group of Qin soldiers, pretending to be the Qin army captured by Cheng Huaiyi on the way north, and escorting them back to Yanmen Pass. Take advantage of this to deceive into the pass, seize the gate, and lead the army into the pass. However, the Shatuo people are now burdened with the name of unfaithful, so for the sake of insurance, it is necessary to arrange for some people to follow these Shatuo people to prevent them from doing anything unusual.
Song Wentong finally breathed a sigh of relief, if it was just like this, he felt that this time was a good opportunity to show his face but not be dangerous. Although he became a deserter of the German army, it does not mean that he is a person who is afraid of death. On the contrary, he was the son of an ordinary farmer, and after joining the army, he became the head of the German army step by step with his true skills. If it weren't for his low background, he could be a camp master with his ability. Now that he has joined the Qin army by mistake, this is a great opportunity in his opinion. Otherwise, he would not have cooperated with the blind man's actions in the first place.
The Qin army is not a feudal town like the Chengde army, which has no future to compare, on the contrary, the Qin domain is in full swing. Joining the Qin army, with his ability, he will definitely be able to get ahead. The point is that he is missing a chance now, and now it has come to his door. If he can help win Yanmen Pass, this is a very good qualification. As for the danger, he didn't believe it would be. Just those few Shatuo generals, they were originally just petty officers such as captains, plus the newly defeated and courageous, and the Qin army also selected, and the ones selected were all guys who had relatives in the army. With hostages in hand, coupled with their own low status in the Shatuo army, and the monetary reward promised by the Qin Domain, they knew how to choose.
In fact, Song Wentong only came out of Yanmen a few days ago, and he was very clear about the situation there. At present, there are only 5,000 old and weak soldiers guarding the city, and because Cheng Huaiyi is outside the pass with a large army, they will definitely relax their vigilance. He himself has been a soldier for many years, so he is naturally clear about these things. In fact, in his opinion, the Qin army has 20,000 elite cavalry, so there is no need to trouble it at all, and it is directly open to the pass, and there are no reinforcements at Yanmen Pass, what else can they do except surrender? Even if they wanted to defend it, thousands of old and weak people would be able to defend the 20,000 Qin troops with firearms? What's more, the Qin army also brought more than 30,000 people with him.
When Song Wentong pretended to be a personal soldier of Shatuo's general, and followed them to escort 200 prisoners of war to Yanmen Pass, he found that someone had arrived at this time. They didn't send out sentries at all, they were completely defenseless.
Two hundred Shatuo cavalry, with a thousand auxiliaries, escorted two hundred Qin army scouts and horse captives who were routed by General Cheng on the way north.
Song Wentong rode on the horse, his right hand was placed behind the general's back, and a short knife in his hand was against it. Listening to the suspension bridge of Yanmen Pass and the crunch of the city gate falling and opening, the stiff body of the general couldn't help but relax a lot, and Song Wentong also took a long breath.
succeeded, things went smoothly beyond imagination, and the first level of Jiuzhai in the world was lifted in front of him!
Controlling the excitement in his heart, Song Wentong quietly pushed the general, and then rode his horse to follow him and slowly entered the Yanmen Gate! (To be continued......)
