Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 375 Attack on Yanmen Pass
"What are you doing? Hurry up and stop." Zhao Sheng held the 56 and fired several shots into the sky, looking angrily at the scene in front of him.

The boy pointed at the man holding his can and shouted at Zhao Sheng: "He robbed me and even beat me."

Not only this big man, but also several people nearby who also encountered the same thing hurriedly pointed at the person who robbed them and shouted at Zhao Sheng: "My lord, they robbed us."

Holding the 56, Zhao Sheng rushed to the front of the group of people, and said with a sinister face: "Don't you remember what I said just now?"

The big man who snatched the boy looked at Zhao Sheng in a panic, and said hesitantly, "The food you gave us is really not enough. We can't even eat enough."

"Hehehe, can't you eat enough?" Zhao Sheng looked at the man and sneered, "It's a shame that you can't eat enough, you are just a group of captives, if it wasn't for the kindness of the commander-in-chief, do you think you can eat this kind of food? Really A group of things who don't know what's good or bad."

Zhao Sheng pointed at these snatchers, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Come here, arrest all these people, take them outside, and shoot them on the spot. If you don't show any color to you, you guys He really took my words as a deaf ear."

Zhao Sheng looked at the big man and the others with a vicious look on his face.

Hearing this, the man who snatched the boy's canned food became frightened instantly. He hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhao Sheng, and kept begging, "My lord, you can't do this, I just robbed something. , we didn't do anything else, you can't do that."

Not only this man, but other captives who snatched things also hurriedly knelt down, returned the cans in their hands to the robbed people, and kept kowtowing to Zhao Sheng with panic on their faces.

"Hehe!" Zhao Sheng sneered, "It's late, I regret it now, unfortunately, it's too late."

Zhao Sheng pointed at these people and shouted: "Pull them out for me, shoot them on the spot, let them know what the rules are, and let them know what will happen if they break the rules."

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me, you can't kill me." The man who snatched the boy's canned food got up from the ground in panic, and was about to flee far away.

Zhao Sheng looked at the man running away, without saying a word, he directly raised the 56 punch in his hand, and aimed at the man for a few shots.

"Bang bang bang!"

After several gunshots, several blood holes appeared on the man's back, and blood flowed out of them.

The man also staggered and fell to the ground, his eyes lost their luster with panic.

The captives kneeling on the ground looked at the man who was beaten to death, their bodies trembling unceasingly, and now they regret it very much.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine for them in the world.

The soldiers beside Zhao Sheng pulled up the prisoner who was kneeling on the ground and walked out.

After a while, several gunshots rang out, and all the captives who were vying to be canned were killed on the ground.

Listening to the gunshot, the prisoners had different expressions on their faces.

"Remember, here, the rules are the biggest. Anyone who dares to break the rules will end up like this. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again." Zhao Sheng looked at the prisoners in front of him and kept teaching them.

The captives lowered their heads and listened quietly to Zhao Sheng's reprimand. Some people who had other thoughts in their minds all gave up their thoughts at this moment.

The sun in the sky gradually set into the western mountain, and when it started to get dark, Zhao Daniu rushed to Song Hu's camp with the rest of the Chinese army.

At this time, the defenders on the top of Yanmen Pass also saw a large number of soldiers and horses gathering under Yanmen Pass.

After seeing this situation, the defenders on the top of the city hurriedly told Xing Tianzhong the news.

After Xing Tianzhong received it, he hurriedly mobilized all the things he could transfer to Dongxing Pass.

As soon as Zhao Daniu arrived at the camp, Zhao Wen called him into Song Hu's big tent.

Zhao Wen sat on the main seat of the big tent, looked at the people in the big tent, and said: "Now that the army has all arrived, I decided to attack Yanmen Pass starting tomorrow.

In addition to passing Yanmen Pass, Song Hu, you will take your troops to Zhenwuwei tomorrow, and take Zhenwuwei to me as soon as possible.And Daniel, you will lead 1 people to the Guangwu camp in the north tomorrow, and try to take the Guangwu camp in the shortest possible time. "

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he looked around the big tent and shouted in a deep voice, "Do you understand?"

Everyone in the big tent suddenly stood up and shouted at Zhao Wen: "I will obey your command!"

"Okay, now you go down and get ready."

……

It's autumn now, and the nights are beginning to grow.

Zhao Wen walked out of the barracks under the leadership of Li Xiaosan, and stood at the front of the camp looking at Yanmen Pass not far away.

"My lord, there was news from Mr. Wang that they had made a scene in the town of Shanxi, and it also caused the soldiers in the town of Shanxi to roar." Li Xiaosan stood behind Zhao Wen and said slowly with.

Zhao Wen nodded slightly, "Wang Qi did a good job, by the way, where is he now?"

"Returning to my lord, after the Lord Wang left Shanxi Town, he went to the south. I guess it won't be long before the whole of Shanxi will know that we have raised troops and entered the territory of Shanxi." Li Xiaosan murmured.

"That's right, that's right. I think Chongzhen should know by now that I led troops into Shanxi. Hehe, he even dispatched troops to the east of Xuanzhen to prevent me from attacking the capital. Unfortunately, I don't have that idea at all now." Zhao said. Wen looked at Yanmen Pass not far away, with a playful expression on his face.

At the same time, Chongzhen stood in the imperial study and walked back and forth anxiously.

In the hall of the Imperial Study Room stood Wen Tiren, Wu Sangui, Wu Xiang, Zu Dashou and others, and there was also Hong Chengchou who led the soldiers of the Qin Army shortly after arriving in the capital.

In history, Hong Chengchou led the Qin army until Chongzhen for 12 years.In the 12th year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou was appointed Governor of Jiliao by Chongzhen, and Sun Chuanting took over his position after he left.

Now Sun Chuanting is still working in his hometown in Shanxi. Sun Chuanting's hometown is in Daizhou, south of Yanmen Pass, which is the residence of Zhenwuwei.

"Didn't you say that thief Zhao was going to attack the capital? Why did he go to Shanxi now? What's going on? Who can tell me what's going on?" Chongzhen stopped, and he looked at the hall. The crowd roared again and again.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Chongzhen.

At this time, Chongzhen was in a fit of anger, and these people in the hall did not dare to speak at this time, for fear that they would be angered by Chongzhen if they said something wrong.

After a while, Chongzhen's mood calmed down quite a bit. He looked at the people in the hall and asked expressionlessly: "Who will tell me what is Zhao thief's plan? What exactly does he want to do?"

Hong Chengchou frowned and kept thinking about the reason why Zhao Wen did this.But Hong Chengchou racked his brains and couldn't think of Zhao Wen's purpose for doing this.

From ancient times to the present, as long as they are rebels, they will always take breaking the capital as their primary goal, but this Zhao Wen did the opposite.

Hong Chengchou thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a reason.

"Your Majesty, I really don't understand why Bandit Zhao did this. All the rebels in the past dynasties have taken breaking the capital as their first goal. This Zhao Wenchen really can't understand the significance of his doing so." Hong Chengchou looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a dazed expression.

"That's right, Your Majesty, I really can't understand Zhao Wen's tricks, and I can't figure out what the significance of Zhao Wen's actions are." Wu Xiang also looked at Chongzhen blankly.

Chongzhen pinched the short beard on his chin, sat on the chair, frowned, thinking about Zhao Wen's intention.

But even though Chongzhen racked his brains, he just couldn't figure out the meaning of Zhao Wen's move.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is not to think about why Zhao thief did this, but how to deal with Zhao Wen's offensive.

Now Zhao Wen has invaded the territory of Shanxi. If the imperial court doesn't stop it, with the strength of Zhao's bandits, the whole of Shanxi may soon be captured.

If Shanxi is not protected, Shaanxi will not be protected, and the Central Plains will not be protected. "Hong Chengchou looked at Chongzhen and expressed his worries.

"Aiqing's words are reasonable, so how do you think to deal with Zhao thief? Do you have any new ideas?" Chongzhen looked at the people in the hall.

Wen Tiren frowned and thought about it. After a while, Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the imperial court should mobilize troops from the Central Plains, Sichuan and Huguang, and go directly to Shanxi to encircle and suppress Zhao Wen."

"No, this method is extremely inappropriate." As soon as Wen Tiren finished speaking, Hong Chengchou objected.

Wen Tiren turned his head and looked at Hong Chengchou with a gloomy expression, "Master Hong, you said that this officer's method is inappropriate, so do you have any good methods? If you have a good method, tell me and let me hear it. "

Hong Chengchou glanced at Wen Tiren lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the art of war that those who attack the enemy must be saved.

Compared with the soldiers and horses of the Zhao bandits, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are very insufficient.In addition, Zhao thief is now active in Shanxi, with awe-inspiring momentum.

If at this time, the imperial court mobilizes troops to enter Shanxi to encircle and suppress Zhao Wen, it is estimated that they will fall into the trap of Zhao thieves.Zhao thief only needs to wait for work at ease, and he can wipe out the soldiers and horses sent by the court.

Therefore, the minister thought that the imperial court should mobilize heavy troops to attack Xuanzhen directly.Zhao Wen led the army to go out, and the interior must be empty. Maybe the line of defense he set up to the east of Xuanzhen was just used to hide people's eyes and ears.

Xuanzhen is the stronghold of Zhao Bandit, and it is the foundation of Zhao Wen's life. As long as the imperial army suppresses the situation, there is no fear that Zhao Bandit will not come back.

As long as Bandit Zhao comes back, the predicament in Shanxi will naturally be resolved. If he doesn't come back, the imperial court can take advantage of the situation to attack Xuanzhen and take Bandit Zhao's base camp in one fell swoop.By this time, thief Zhao was like duckweed on the water, and he was at the mercy of the imperial court. "

Chongzhen listened to Hong Chengchou's words quietly. To be honest, Chongzhen was very moved by Hong Chengchou's method.Although Chongzhen didn't know much about military affairs, it can also be seen that the feasibility of this method is very high.

"Your Majesty, I also agree with Lord Hong's idea. This idea of ​​Lord Hong is the most cost-effective and effective way." Zu Dashou stood up and clasped his fists at Chongzhen.

"I also agree!" Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui also stood up.

Chongzhen nodded and looked at Hong Chengchou, "Aiqing's method is very good, and it is very suitable for the current court. This matter should be handled according to Hong Aiqing's instructions. By the way, Hong Aiqing, you will work harder tonight, and tomorrow morning Be sure to show me a charter."

Hong Chengchou made a big gift to Chongzhen, and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrustment."

The night passed slowly, and before the sun rose in the sky, Song Hu and Zhao Daniu led the soldiers and horses and set off towards Zhenwuwei and Guangwuying.

After the two of them left, Zhao Wen asked the soldiers to pull out all the heavy weapons in the general and arrange them at the front of the camp.

Heavy weapons include 152mm cannon howitzers, 107mm rocket launchers and 120mm mortars.

The camp is about five miles away from Yanmen Pass, which is completely within the range of heavy weapons.

The sun had risen to the sky, and the artillery positions in front of the camp had been set up.

Zhao Wen led 2 troops to gather, standing in front of the camp and behind the artillery positions.

"Hurry up and inform the general that the rebels outside the city are taking action." The guard on the top of the city looked in Zhao Wen's direction and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him.

A moment later, Xing Tizhong came down to the city wall of Dongxing Pass surrounded by his servants.

"What's going on?" Xing Tizhong frowned and looked outside the city.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but you were startled when you saw it, and saw a boundless army of soldiers and horses lined up neatly five miles away from Yanmen Pass.

Xing Tizhong looked at the soldiers and horses, his heart was beating violently.

Although Xing Tianzhong had already heard the news last night and had made sufficient mental preparations, when he saw it now, he became flustered.

Xing Tianzhong panted heavily, breathing heavily incessantly, to soothe his flustered mood.

"General, just judging from the scale of these soldiers and horses, there are tens of thousands of people. With so many soldiers and horses, I am afraid that Yanmen Pass will not be able to be defended." A hundred households stood beside Xing Tizhong.He looked at the soldiers and horses outside the city with a bitter look on his face.

Although Song Hu and Zhao Daniu took away 1 people respectively, Zhao Wen still had about 6 people in his hands.

Xing Tizhong pretended to cheer up and said: "It's okay, the terrain three miles ahead of Dongxing Pass is narrow, and there is no way for Zhao's army to deploy. So, we will not directly face these tens of thousands of troops."

"That's what I said, but general, the firepower among these soldiers and horses is extremely fierce. With the strength in our hands, I'm afraid we can't hold it." Baihu looked at Xing Tizhong with a tangled expression.

Xing Tizhong turned his head, looked at Baihu sternly, and shouted: "Do you know what you are talking about? You are disturbing the morale of the army. I don't think I will say anything about the crime of disturbing the morale of the army before the war." I also know that if you dare to say such things, don't blame me for being rude."

Of course Xing Tizhong knew that what Baihu said was right, but at this juncture, even if he was right, he couldn't admit it, otherwise, the morale of the army would be lost before the battle started.

Once the army's morale is scattered, no matter how strong the city is, it can't be defended.
