Chapter 1299
It is said that Azig is ambitious, and regardless of the persuasion of "Raoyu Baylor" Abatai and Duke Yangguli, he insists on going his own way, vowing to make the rebel army look good.

So, he led his [-] Xiangbai Banners, Zhenglan Banners, Zhenghuang Banners and Mongolian elites all the way to Datong Town.

But now Xuanda Governor Zhang Fengyi, Datong Governor Ye Tinggui, Datong General Soldier Wang Shiren and others are fighting fiercely with the rebels outside Taiyuan City. Where can anyone come out to preside over the overall situation?

But seeing the army of "Eastern captives" attacking, they closed their doors and guarded themselves, and there were no more brave fighters.

Azige and the others were like fish in water immediately, swaggering across the territory of Datong, successively breached counties such as Huai'an, Huairen and Shanyin, and countless fortresses were breached.

Wherever the "Eastern Captives" soldiers went, many houses were burned, many people were killed and wounded, many children and property were looted, and the crying was endless.

Originally, Abatai and Yangguli still had some criticisms on Azige's decision, but unexpectedly, Shanxi businessmen and Zhu Xieyuan sent envoys to report the situation of the rebel army.

Hearing this, Azige couldn't help being overjoyed and said: "'Shun Bandit' really doesn't know how to fight, and the speed of soldiers is more important than long. How can there be a reason for 'long-term violence'?"

"If my army arrives, it will be destroyed!"

Abatai and Yangguli inquired carefully, and this time they also felt that the opportunity was rare, so they couldn't help nodding their heads and said: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. "The fisherman, I call it the Great Qing!"

In this way, but after Shanyin County was broken, Azig led the army south to the foot of Yanmen Mountain.

Yanmen Mountain, named after Guan, is also called Gouzhu Mountain, Xingling Mountain, and Xixing Mountain Xing. It is the remaining vein of Hengshan Mountain Range. It is connected to Xuanda in the north and Xindai in the south. The only way to threaten Taiyuan.

In the famous storytelling "Generals of the Yang Family" written by Zhang Shun in his previous life, there is a general of the Yang family bleeding on the Golden Beach, Qilang and Eight Tigers return alone, and Mr. Yang Laoling retreated to Yanmen Pass but could not enter, and finally crashed to death on the Li Ling stele outside the pass. the plot.

Of course, when the time came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for the enemy to go deep into the interior because of the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong. Therefore, the status of Yanmen Pass at this time was far inferior to that of the Northern Song Dynasty when the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were lost.

However, it was also combined with Piantouguan and Ningwuguan into the "Inner Sanguan" and set up as "Sanguan Town", also known as Shanxi Town, as a supplement to the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong Frontier.

When Azige came to the front of the formation, he looked forward and saw a city, more than three zhang high, surrounded by mountains and dangerous, sitting in front of Yanmen Mountain.

He couldn't help turning his head and asked: "Is this Yanmen Pass? In my opinion, it's nothing more than mediocre!"

"My lord, this...this is Guangwu City before the pass." The Shanxi merchant spies couldn't help but reminded tremblingly, "Yanmen Pass is still on the mountain."

"Hey!" Azig couldn't help but gasped, and couldn't help saying angrily, "What do you mean, why did you lead me to this grand pass? Could it be that you are a spy of the Ming people!"

"My lord, let me tell you, this Yanmen pass is the only way to Taiyuan outside the pass, and there is no way to enter Taiyuan without this!" The spy was startled, and quickly opened his mouth to argue.

"Oh?" Azige couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhu Xieyuan's messenger when he heard the words.

"My lord, calm down, that's true!" the messenger couldn't help laughing.

"If that's the case, why don't you order the guard to open the gate and let my Qing army enter?" Azig couldn't help shouting sharply.

"My lord was joking, that 'Shun Thief' is like a wolf like a tiger, if my lord has to trouble Supervisor Zuo even for such a trivial matter, then there is no need to enter the pass and fight 'Shun Thief'?" The emissary sneered.

"How do you say that?" Azig asked casually, but regretted it as soon as he said it.

Sure enough, the messenger said with a smile: "If even the Yanmen Pass cannot be breached, wouldn't it be a waste of the prince's family and life if the Qing army came this time?"

"You are so brave, show me how I can break through this great pass!" Azige was furious when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but sneered and ordered.

"If you pass on the order, if you don't break through this barrier, I promise you I won't return it!"

Not to mention that if Azige attacked Yanmen Pass, but also said that after the Jin army suddenly rushed outside Yanmen Pass, it immediately caused panic in Xindai and rumors abounded.

Li Shukong and others who were wandering here were shocked when they got the news, how dare they neglect?

Hastily sent envoys to speed up their horses, and quickly passed the news of "the sudden arrival of the eastern captive army" to Zhang Shun.

"What, the Eastern captives have arrived!" Zhang Shun couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and looked at Sun Chuanting in disbelief.

Fast, really fast!
Under the series of actions of the Houjin Kingdom, Zhang Shun realized for the first time what it means to be "as fast as the wind, as aggressive as the fire, as difficult to know as the yin, and as moving as the thunder".

"King Shun, please!" Sun Chuanting couldn't help laughing bitterly when he heard the words, obviously the marching speed of the "Eastern Captives" was beyond his expectation.

"The Zhenwu Weiren family of the present Daizhou is close to the border, and has been watched by the northern captives all year round, so I know a little about the enemy's situation."

"In the seventh year, my hometown was in trouble. I once wrote "The Enemy's Situation Must Have Cowardice" to demonstrate the importance of using steps to control cavalry; Repel the Jin army and defend the homeland."

"From this, we know that the eastern captives used the same troops as the northern captives, and their army, with many soldiers and horses, came and went suddenly, and it was the most difficult to defend against."

"In addition, the eastern captives have more artillery and armor, and their bravery and tenacity are beyond the reach of the northern captives, so they should be our army's formidable enemy."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun calmed down for a moment, and couldn't help but order, "Well, let's call Gao Qiqian and your two servants to come over, this king wants to understand the enemy's situation personally!"

It turned out that Wang Zhong, the former general of Shanxi Province, entered the city of Taiyuan after conquering the northern and northern gates.

There are quite a lot of old and loyal kings in Taiyuan city, how can they resist with all their might?

Seeing that the general situation is over, and the leaders of the army are old friends from the past, they surrendered one after another, and only sold Gao Qiqian and his Yongweiying.

That Gao Qiqian is also a ruthless person, seeing that Taiyuan City has been lost, Chongzhen could not spare him, so he became ruthless, directly surrendered with the Yongwei Battalion, and Taiyuan City went down.

It doesn't matter that he surrendered, it immediately put Zhu Xieyuan, governor of the left, Zhang Fengyi, governor of Xuanda, and Ye Tinggui, governor of Datong, in a dangerous situation.

Not to mention the war between the two sides, let's say that after Gao Qiqian joined the rebel army, Zhang Shun did not criticize him severely, but it was useless to use him again, so he just left it alone for many days.

Only today when he heard about the arrival of the "Eastern Army" did Zhang Shun suddenly recall that someone had told him earlier that this fellow was sent to Ningyuan and Jinzhou to serve as supervisors in the sixth year of Chongzhen, so he should know the reality of the "Eastern Army".

"Sinner Gao Qiqian pays homage to His Royal Highness King Shun!" Not long after, Gao Qiqian arrived first, and when he saw Zhang Shunyi, he quickly fell to the ground and shouted loudly.

"Get up, I have nothing to do today, I want to talk to you!" Zhang Shun couldn't help raising his hand.

Then Gao Qiqian stood up, and sat down on the lower seat cautiously.

Zhang Shun took a closer look, and saw that this person was thirty-four to five years old, with a beardless white face and a kind face. He didn't look like a sinister and cunning villain, but rather a good-looking middle-aged uncle.

He couldn't help feeling fond of him, and said with a smile: "I heard that you were a military supervisor in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and you know the enemy's situation quite well. I don't know what happened to the Guan Ning army, and what about the Eastern Lu army?"

Gao Qiqian couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief seeing that Zhang Shun wasn't involved in other matters.

His previous master was a young man, and his current master is even younger. Now this young man is not easy to serve!

Regardless of what he thought, when he saw Zhang Shun's question, he couldn't help but hastily responded: "Guan Ning's soldiers are all mounted like dragons and dismounted like tigers. One is equal to ten, and no one in the world dares to stop him!"

"It's just that the cart has no wheels, the horse has no rein, and there are elite soldiers and fierce generals in the sky. Sooner or later, the general will capture him!"

"How do you say that?" Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words. It's not like he didn't fight with Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan and You Shiwei among the Liao soldiers. How could he be so exaggerated?
"The generals in Liaodong pay too much, and they are suspicious of each other. There are many contradictions. Most of the people who can be used are servants and personal guards, but there are only three to five hundred to a thousand. The rest are all suffocating people. Therefore, if King Shun Don't be surprised when you meet servants, their numbers are few, you just need to bully the few to win." Gao Qiqian couldn't help laughing.

"As for the Eastern Captives, they are quite similar to King Shun's soldiers, yet different."

"The similarities are that both have strict military laws, are well-organized from top to bottom, and have many soldiers and generals, and they like to use heavy artillery."

"Whenever comes to battle, the brave cannot advance alone, and the cowardly cannot retreat alone. If you defeat the few with the crowd, you will be invincible."

"The difference is that the eastern captives have more riders and more households, and they are called Ba Yala."

"Among them, the white armor is the most refined, followed by the red armor. The white armor is picked one out of ten, and the red armor is picked four out of ten. The length of each is not to be underestimated!"

"Instead of fighting, you can only win, not lose. The eastern captives will ride more, and if you lose, you will have nowhere to retreat, only death!"
