I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 22 Storming the Longwei Pass

On March 24, Sishi, 4000 troops left Tonghaimen, and Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan led [-] troops as the vanguard to walk in the forefront.

Zhu Cixuan, Wei Bao, Wang Sheng and others led an army of 7000, Li Dingguo led an army of [-], Zheledian Chief Si Tusi Muyi led an army of [-], and Yuanjiang Tusi Nasong led an army of [-]. A total of [-] people were the Chinese army. .The Duke of Guangguo congratulated Jiuyi to lead seven thousand troops as the rear of the army.

The army started from Tonghai Gate, the east gate of Dali, and went all the way south along the west bank of Erhai Lake and the east foot of Cangshan Mountain.

Zhu Cixuan rode a horse between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The scenery along the way was beautiful and pleasant. He had the feeling of "a vast hectare of water and a sky mirror, and the mountains are surrounded by green screens in four seasons".

Mu Zhongliang, who was walking with Zhu Cixuan, said: "His Royal Highness, the place we are going now is known as 'Yin Cang Yu'er' and 'Pearl of the Plateau'. If it is not for war, invite some friends to eat in Erhai Lake. Fish, watching the snow in Cangshan Mountain is really a great blessing in life.”

When Zhu Cixuan looked at Erhai Lake in the east, he saw that the clean and transparent sea surface was like a clear blue sky, giving people a sense of tranquility and distance, and letting people appreciate the poetic and painting-like artistic conception of "the boat floats on the blue waves, and people swim in the painting".

Overlooking Cangshan Mountain in the west, the peak is covered with snow, which is crystal clear and white in the sun, which is magnificent.The cloudscape of Cangshan Mountain is ever-changing, charming and moving, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, and they can't help but nod their heads again and again.

"Oh! This place is so beautiful." Qingyu exclaimed from the side.

"This place is not only beautiful, but also has beautiful legends." Mu Zhongliang laughed.

"Oh! What legend, tell us about it." On the march, Li Dingguo was in charge, and Zhu Cixuan had nothing to do, so he became interested.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Qingyu couldn't wait.

"Okay, Your Royal Highness, let me tell you! According to legend, a long time ago, the daughter of the king of Nanzhao had just married, and Nanzhao ushered in the invasion of foreign enemies. His husband-in-law bid farewell to the princess and went out to fight with the army. After going there for more than ten years and not returning, everyone who heard back said that the son-in-law had died in battle.

The princess began to cry day and night, and finally the tears flowed into rivers and lakes. Just when the princess was dying, her husband, the son-in-law, returned just at this time, but the time of reunion was the time of farewell. The husband was in so much pain that he swore loudly to the sky that he would transform mountains and guard the sea, and the two lived with mountains and rivers as companions, thus Erhai and Cangshan came into existence, and Cangshan and Erhai have been guarding each other to this day.

Whenever fishermen see two strands of clouds entangled back and forth above Cangshan Mountain, they have to quickly gather their nets and go home, because this is the time when the princess and her husband get together, and they will cry with joy because of the short gathering, and at this time Erhai Lake will set off a storm. The frenzy, the turmoil, is very scary. At this time, people around the Erhai Lake will stay behind closed doors until the end. "

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooant." Qing Yu has tearful eye.

Zhu Cixuan let out a long sigh:
"Ten years of life and death are boundless, without thinking, and unforgettable.

Thousands of miles of graves, nowhere to be bleak.

Even if they meet, they should not know it, dusty face, temples like frost.

At night, You Meng suddenly returned home, Xiaoxuan window, dressing.

There is nothing to say about each other, but a thousand lines of tears.

It is expected that the place where the heart is broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short Matsuoka. "

The two little girls, Qingchan and Qingyu, stared at Zhu Cixuan with adoring eyes.Seeing the adoring eyes of the two daughters, Zhu Cixuan felt so beautiful in his heart.No wonder some people like to act aggressive in front of girls, this feeling is really good.

In the evening, the army arrived at Longwei Pass, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.In the past, it was the southern gate of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom, and was built by Luofeng, the Nanzhao King's Pavilion.

It starts from the south slope of Xieyang Peak in Cangshan Mountain in the west, reaches Daguanyi Village in the east, and is built along the north bank of Erhe River in the west.Together with Longshou Pass in Shangguan, it is an important pass for the Nanzhao regime to garrison troops to defend against the enemy.

During the Tianbao period, many fierce battles between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao took place here. It used to be the southern gate barrier of "one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it".

At this time, at Longwei Pass, the alarm bell was sounded when the "Dangdang" was closed, and the three hundred Tartars stationed at Longwei Pass closed the gate tightly and waited on the wall.

Zhu Cixuan, Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and others stationed at Malongwei Pass, looking at the towering and strong pass in the distance.

Li Dingguo said: "Today, it's getting late, we will set up camp outside the pass, and attack Longwei Pass tomorrow."

Dou Minwang, the commander-in-chief behind Li Dingguo, immediately issued an order: "The king of Jin has ordered us to camp here!"

"The commander-in-chief has an order, set up camp on the spot!" The order was passed down, and the soldiers began to set up camp on the spot, setting up tents one after another, and surrounded the camp with more than [-] spears, and surrounded the camp with carts. After a circle, Li Dingguo personally led his own soldiers to inspect the defense, paying attention to every detail.

"Establish ten sentry towers, and erect three sentry towers on the side facing Longwei Pass to prevent the Tatars from sneaking out at night."

"The grain depot must be out of the range of the rocket!" Li Dingguo is worthy of being a battle-tested veteran. Although there are only [-] people in Longweiguan, he did not take it lightly at all. He carefully found five or six loopholes in a row. Order soldiers to rectify...

However, the Tartars did not dare to go out to attack the Ming army throughout the whole night.

After the dawn of the next day, the Ming army that had had breakfast lined up out of the camp and assembled in front of Longwei Pass.The heavy soldiers cut down trees in Cangshan Mountain and built more than [-] ladders.

"咚咚咚" the sound of war drums rumbled, and five thousand vanguard troops of the Ming army rushed to the pass. The mountain road was narrow and could not accommodate large troops. The Ming army filed up, getting closer and closer. When they were a hundred steps away, the army stopped. go ahead.

Li Dingguo stared at the pass a hundred steps away. He had rich experience in siege, and saw that the terrain in front of the pass was narrow and could only accommodate a thousand troops.

"Mr. Dou, lead a thousand troops to go first!"

He gave an order, the drums 'boom!Boom! When the ringing sounded, 1000 Ming soldiers, led by Dou Minwang, the general soldier, carried ladders and shields in their hands, and swarmed towards the tower.

On the top of the city, Niulu Aktu, the tartar stationed at Longwei Pass, bit his lip tightly, watching with cold eyes a thousand Ming troops approaching, and a thousand Ming troops gathered in groups on the mountain road that could only accommodate more than ten people. , rushing towards the city gate, only about twenty steps away, the speed suddenly slowed down, and began to surge forward cautiously, the shield formed a shield wall.

There was only room for [-] soldiers on the top of Longwei Pass. The [-] Tartars aimed at the approaching Ming army with their bows and arrows. They were waiting for the best range, and the best range was [-]. At this distance, the condescending bows and arrows of the Tartars can still cause a certain amount of damage to the Ming army holding the shield.

The Ming army was getting closer and closer to the pass wall, within [-] steps, the drums stopped, and there was silence in front of the pass, only the rustling sound of the Ming army soldiers moving forward.

Akto watched the Ming army move forward, and within fifty steps, he drew out his scimitar, ready to give an order.

Just listen, "Ba Ba Ba" bursts of intensive gunfire sounded, three hundred Mauser 98K rifles fired at the same time, the bullets easily penetrated the armor of the Tartars, there was a scream, and more than [-] Tartars were shot down , Rolling and falling to the ground, several soldiers even fell from the gate tower of Longwei Pass and fell off the city wall. The screams echoed long before Longwei Pass.

The Tartars were stunned by this burst of guns. They subconsciously let go of their fingers, and the arrows shot out. Due to the sudden incident, the arrows shot by the Tartars were far from accurate, and their strength was not enough. Only a small part of them shot. On the shield held by the Ming army, the shield of the Ming army also blocked it.

Dou Minwang commanded the soldiers of the Ming army to accelerate suddenly and rush towards the pass frantically. As long as they rushed into the open ground of thirty paces, the troops could expand to both sides and put the ladder on the pass wall.

Three hundred Zhu Cixuan's East Palace guards carried a Mauser 98K rifleman, under the command of Mu Zhongliang, quickly pulled the bolt, ejected the cartridge case, pushed the next bullet, raised the gun and fired again.

Amidst the bean-popping gunshots, one by one Tartar soldiers fell down screaming, and when the five bullets in the clips were fired, the three hundred Tartar soldiers in the gate tower of Longweiguan were killed or injured. Most of the time, Akto shouted loudly, "Get down, get down quickly."

The remaining dozens of people on the wall shrank under the battlements as if they had just woken up from a dream. The soldiers of the Ming army who attacked the city rushed to the bottom of the wall, erected a ladder, held a knife in their mouth, and climbed up the ladder with both hands and feet.

Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan, Guangguo Gong He Jiuyi, Zheledian Chieftain Chieftain Mu Yi, and Yuanjiang Chieftain Nasong all opened their mouths wide, looking in shock at the Mauser 98K rifles in the hands of Prince Zhu Cixuan's three hundred guards of the Eastern Palace. Lost the ability to think.

Damn, what kind of firecracker is this? It's so sharp. If we encounter this kind of firecracker on the battlefield in the future, we can only wait to be slaughtered.The usually flamboyant Tartars were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered under the fire. More than 200 of the [-] brave Tartars died in the blink of an eye. It was unbelievable and cruel.If they encounter this kind of firecracker, they don't need to fight. They either surrender or turn around and run away, there is no difference.

Even Li Dingguo, who had seen the power of the Mauser 98k rifle in the Battle of Mopanshan, was shocked and sighed again and again. He never thought that in just one month, Prince Zhu Cixuan's East Palace guards would be equipped with such a powerful rifle. The number of guns has increased from more than 30 to three hundred. The three hundred fire guns fired a salvo and beat the tartar with the dragon's tail closed, without the power to resist.

In the future, with these sharp firecrackers, He Chou would not be able to destroy the Tartars. At this time, the eyes of this brave and famous general were beating brilliantly.

Aktu saw that the situation was not good, and if he did not fight back, the Ming army would attack the pass, so he ordered to shoot arrows. Dozens of Tartars suddenly stood up, bowed their bows and set up arrows, aiming at the Ming army climbing on the ladder and shot arrows in their hands. arrows.

The three hundred Mauser 98k riflemen who had reloaded the bullets pulled the triggers at the same time, and the Tartars who stood up were shot and fell down one by one. down.

Dou Minwang jumped onto the top of the wall.Zhu Cixuan hurriedly shouted: "Stop shooting, stop shooting." The three hundred riflemen lowered their guns and stopped shooting.

As soldiers of the Ming army climbed to Longwei Pass one by one, the few Tartars who managed to escape the guns were killed by the Ming soldiers who climbed to Longwei Pass like melons and vegetables.

"Hu Long Long." The gate of Longwei Pass was opened by the Ming army occupying Longwei Pass, and Li Dingguo roared: "Enter the city."

The Ming army from the brigade marched into Longwei Pass, and Zhu Cixuan, surrounded by Mu Zhongliang and other guards from the East Palace, rode into the gate of Longwei Pass, "Ding dong, ding dong." Two notification sounds suddenly sounded in his mind .

　Hey, Mengxin asks for a monthly ticket, asks for a collection.
