Chapter 372
Listening to Wang Tiewa's remarks, Song Hu kept tapping on the armrest of the chair.

"What you said is also reasonable, I also looked at it today, and the damage caused by ordinary shells to the entire city wall is indeed limited.

That being the case, let's follow the command of the commander-in-chief, don't rush to attack, first throw out all the soldiers, and cover the entire area around Yanmen Pass first.

If there are reinforcements coming, then implement the strategy of besieging and attacking reinforcements to wipe out the reinforcements. "

According to the news brought back by the scouts, the Chinese army is now less than two days away from Yanmen Pass, so it is better to wait until the Chinese army arrives.

Song Hu stood up and looked at the people in the tent, "Now send me an order to cover Yanmen Pass starting tonight. There are also Zhenwuwei in the south and Guangwuying in the north. These two places also need to be tightly guarded." monitor.

The implementation method is a rotation system, which changes every two hours. The first wave will start with Wang Tiewa and Li Tianming.

As long as reinforcements dare to come over, they will be wiped out immediately. "

"Obey!" The general in the big account shouted loudly at Song Hu.

After Song Hu's order was issued, Wang Tiewa led the soldiers under his command to step on their horses and began to circle around Yanmen Pass, and part of the soldiers and horses went to Guangwu camp in the north.

Li Tianming led his troops towards Zhenwuwei.

The sun gradually set into the western mountain, and the whole world began to darken.

The troops sent by Xing Bingzhong to ask for help escaped the patrolling soldiers because of the relatively early time, and went all the way to Zhenwuwei.

After running around, I finally arrived at Zhenwuwei when it was dark.

Zhenwuwei has five thousand households in the front, middle, back, left, and right. According to the roster, there should be more than 5000 soldiers.

But now that the guard system is broken, the number of soldiers in these five thousand households is far from that many.

In the current Zhenwuwei, including all the soldiers and the general's servants, there are only more than [-] people.

Zhenwuwei's camp is located in the city of Daizhou, and he also has the responsibility to assist in the management of Daizhou.

The current commander of Zhenwuwei is a man named Chen Zhong.

"Quickly open the city gate, I am the defender of Yanmen Gate, and I have a serious military situation."

The messenger sent by Xing Bingzhong stopped outside the moat of Daizhou, shouting loudly at the city wall of Daizhou.

"Who?" A head protruded from the city wall, holding a torch and questioning loudly towards the moat.

"I am the soldier sent by General Xing Bingzhong, the guard of Yanmen Gate, to ask for help. This is my identity card. Quickly open the city gate and let me in."

The messenger took out his identity token from his pocket, and kept dangling it in front of his eyes.

"I'll let you put down the suspension bridge on the moat first, and later I'll fish your identity tag up with a basket, and let us check it.

Only after checking your real identity can I let you in, otherwise, we really can't bear this responsibility. "

The soldiers on the top of the city shouted loudly at the orderly.

"Okay, anyway, hurry up." The orderly replied.

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the orderly put away his identity card, and controlled the horse to rush over the suspension bridge.

At the same time, a bamboo basket was lowered from above.

The orderly put his identity badge in.

After the soldiers at the top of the city checked and found no mistakes, they opened the city gate and let him in.

A while later, the messenger, accompanied by several city guards, arrived at the mansion of the Commander Zhenwuwei.

At this time, Chen Zhong, the commander of Zhenwuwei, was wearing a coat and sitting in the study. He looked at the messenger standing in front of him, frowned and said, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

The messenger took out Xing Bingzhong's handwritten letter from his pocket and put it on Chen Zhong's desk.

"Return to your lord, this is a letter from my lord, he told me to send it to your lord.

Now the rebels have approached Yanmen Pass, and launched a tentative attack on Yanmen Pass today.

The weapons in the hands of the rebels are powerful, and the number of defenders in my Yanmen Pass is limited. If there is no reinforcements, I am afraid it will not last long. "The messenger looked at Chen Zhong and kept talking.

Chen Zhong took the letter under the candle, checked the sealant and signature on it, opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and read it.

After reading it, Chen Zhong put the letter on the table.

"It's not impossible for me to send troops to rescue Yanmen Pass, but after I send troops, what should the entire Daizhou City do?
Daizhou City is not far from Yanmen Pass. If the rebels come to attack Daizhou City, once Daizhou City falls, it will be my responsibility, Chen Zhong. "Chen Zhong said with a gloomy face and a low tone.

When the messenger heard this, he knelt down and said anxiously: "My lord, you can't just ignore the Yanmen Pass. If the Yanmen Pass falls, the rebels will drive straight in, and Daizhou will definitely not be able to keep it."

Chen Zhong said: "I also understand this point, but Daizhou City has to be guarded. How about it, tomorrow morning I will send 500 people to reinforce Yanmen Pass. This 500 people plus the original Yanmen Pass Manpower, should be able to guard the Yanmen Pass."

The next day, just after dawn, Chen Zhong sent 500 people under the leadership of two thousand households to head towards Yanmen Pass.

But before they had walked much distance, they were discovered by soldiers monitoring Zhenwuwei.

After discovering them, the former soldiers hurriedly reported the news to Song Hu.

"Sure enough, as I expected, Zhenwuwei really sent reinforcements." Song Hu walked out of the camp excitedly, "Pass me the order to let Wang Tiewa come to see me."

Song Hu shouted to the guards outside the big tent.

It didn't take long for Wang Tiewa to appear in the big tent with armor on.

"grown ups!"

Wang Tiewa looked at Song Hu and shouted loudly.

Song Hu nodded, "Now I have an order for you. Now that Zhenwuwei has sent [-] soldiers to reinforce Yanmen Pass, I now order you to lead your troops to defeat all the reinforcements, including them. If you can catch them alive, try to catch them alive."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the task." After Wang Tiewa finished speaking, she hurried out.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Tiewa led the men and horses under her command to ride towards Daizhou City on horseback.

At this time, the team going to reinforce Yanmen Pass was slowly walking on the official road.

"Brother Wu, do you think Commander-in-Chief is a little too sensitive? Where is Yanmen Pass? Is it so easy to break through? The defenders in Yanmen Pass have a total of more than 2000 and nearly 3000 people, and we still need reinforcements." ?"

A Qianhu named Cui Jichuan was riding on a horse, looking at Wu Xiao who was walking on top of him, with a dull expression on his face.

Wu Xiao sighed, "What can we do? You know the importance of Yanmen Pass. It is even more important than Zhenwuwei. If Yanmen Pass falls, we will definitely not be able to escape."

These two were the Qianhus sent by Chen Zhong to reinforce Yanmen Pass.

Although both of them have thousands of households, the combined number of soldiers under their command is only 500.

"Everyone, speed up, you must arrive at Yanmen Pass before this afternoon." Wu Xiao shook his head, looked behind him, and shouted to the soldiers behind him.

The soldier behind him said he was a soldier, but in fact he was not much better than a beggar.

Except for their servants who had war horses, the rest of the soldiers were all wearing tattered mandarin duck war jackets and walked behind sparsely.

These soldiers were all sallow, thin and listless, looking as if they hadn't had a full meal for a long time.

The sun has risen to the sky. Although it is already autumn, the autumn tiger is still fierce.

Wu Xiao and Cui Jichuan were wearing iron armor, sweating non-stop under the scorching sun.

The soldiers led by the two of them also looked at the sky with tired faces, unable to walk.

"I think we should take a rest, otherwise these soldiers will all fall behind sooner or later." Cui Jichuan looked at the listless soldiers behind him, turned his head and said to Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao also looked helpless, "Just listen to you, let these soldiers rest for a while."

When the order of the two was just issued, all the soldiers they led hurriedly ran to the nearby big tree, and lay down in the shade of the tree with tired faces to enjoy the cool.

Looking at this scene, Wu Xiao couldn't help yelling: "The gang of killers are all trash. I knew they were going to fight, but I didn't know that I thought the gang of killers were just going to play."

At the same time, the cavalry led by Wang Tiewa was getting closer and closer to them.

"My lord, the enemy troops who came to help stopped five miles ahead." A Ye Bushou sent out came to Wang Tiewa.

Wang Tiewa's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "Send the order, speed up, and wipe out this enemy army as soon as possible."

After Wang Tiewa finished speaking, she waved the whip in her hand and led the soldiers forward.

Not long after, Wang Tiewa saw the messy Ming army ahead.

Wu Xiao was sitting under a big tree drinking water, at this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes suddenly sounded.

"What's going on? Where is the sound of horseshoes coming from?" Wu Xiao stood up in a panic, and hurriedly looked to the place where the sound of horseshoes came from.

Cui Jichuan also hurriedly stood up at this time, and looked towards the place where the sound of horseshoes came from with a face of panic.

At this moment, a cavalry quickly came towards them.

Wu Xiao was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, meet the enemy quickly."

But at this time, the soldiers led by him and Cui Jichuan not only did not appear to meet the enemy, but fled away.

Except for their servants, the rest of the soldiers all strode towards the rear.

"Just kidding, you can tell they are cavalry just by hearing the sound of horseshoes, and there are quite a few cavalry. How can it be possible for us to fight the cavalry with our lives?"

A soldier who was over [-] years old threw the rusty iron knife on the ground with a look of reluctance.

"Run, they are cavalry, we are just some big soldiers, fighting with the cavalry will definitely lead to a dead end for us, hurry up and run."

These soldiers threw away the weapons in their hands, screamed loudly and fled towards the distance.

"Come back, you bastards, hurry up and come back to me!"

Wu Xiao and Cui Jichuan pointed at the fleeing soldiers and cursed loudly.

It's a pity that the guards at the end of the Ming Dynasty were already very corrupt, so how could they still fight?
