Late Tang

(The new month is starting, please keep the guaranteed monthly pass in your hand! Thank you Cang Haiyiyu, Cannavaro 5, 11050515 (21, handsome guys who love beautiful women for your monthly pass support, thank you!)

On July [-]th of the first year of Guangming.

In the northern mountainous area of ​​Gouzhu Mountain, it has been raining heavily since the night before.The rain was not too heavy, but it was a thunderstorm, and the sun came out for a while, and then it didn't take long for another one.The heavy rain made the already muddy and difficult road even more muddy. In some low-lying places, a thick layer of rainwater has even accumulated. Some small streams have gathered rainwater from the mountains in a blink of an eye. , became a turbulent torrent.This kind of weather makes the mountain valley road from Shuozhou Shenwu Huishui River to Daizhou Yanmenguan more difficult.

This is a dangerous valley road, and Yanmen Pass is the fortress guarding this dangerous tunnel in Gouzhu Mountain.

At this time, thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared on this dangerous tunnel, heading towards Yanmenguan City.This is a strange army, the cavalry are dressed in different clothes, some are typical nomads, and some are with hair tied and left-handed.There are also quite a few knights wearing black military robes and armor.They also spoke in various ways, and some sang songs as they walked.

Their queue dragged on for a long time, most of which were due to road constraints and forced them to do so.At the forefront of this team were about a hundred cavalrymen. They traveled more than ten miles beyond most of them. They searched carefully and moved forward. Whenever there was a turmoil, they would stop immediately and hide themselves behind the trees and rocks beside the road. .Yanmen Pass is still far away from here, and they have just passed by with a large army, so the remaining defenders in the pass most likely will not send Tan Ma so far.

However, they are still very cautious, just in case.Occasionally, on this road leading to Daibei, some merchants, woodcutters, and hunters will be encountered, and they will immediately arrest them and then march forward together in the team.While it is unlikely that these hapless fellows are spies of the enemy, they are still very cautious.

This place is too dangerous. If the enemy knows the movement, they only need to lock the gate, and they will be disappointed.

About ten miles behind the hundred cavalry, there are most of the soldiers and horses. They are all infantry, or just auxiliary soldiers with spears and no armor.There were more than a thousand of them, but they escorted more than two hundred captives tied in a string with ropes.There were about two hundred of these captives, their bodies were still covered with blood, their hair was disheveled, and their armor was completely lacking.Under the escort of the auxiliary soldiers, he moved forward very honestly.

Behind them, there is a black armored cavalry of about a hundred people, and about a thousand auxiliary soldiers holding spears.

"Brother Dong, do you think this method will really work?"

An ugly cavalryman in his 20s looked up at the sky. There were many dark clouds in the sky, but strands of golden light shot out from the gaps.No one can tell whether the next tick will be sunny and sunny, or it will be raining.He gave a low voice, and said: "This strategy is a little simpler, but you also have to see who he is going to deal with. If Li Ke used it in Yanmen, it would definitely not work. But now, Yanmen Pass has Who? Even Cheng Huaiyi lost his life when he left the pass, and now there are old and weak people in the pass, and they all know how to play. I admire Zhang Dashuai's strategy very much, it is simple but practical." After finishing speaking, he gently wiped his face With rain on his face, he said to the auxiliary soldier who was walking on the ground who was asking the question: "You guys remember to follow us closely, don't talk when the time comes, just keep quiet. If we really win Yanmen, we will all need rewards."

As soon as this sentence was finished, a tall and thin boy ran over with a spear on his shoulder, and said, "Brother Dong, blind man, no, Captain Chen asked you to come over and talk."

He nodded and followed the tall and thin boy.

This guy in cavalry attire is Song Wendong, the guy who participated in the civil war camp with the blind man by the Huishui River.He was originally a small officer of the Chengde Army, but because he was not optimistic about the Chengde Army and became a deserter, he was captured by the Yanmen Army as a civilian husband, but he cooperated with Chen Bing, the spy of the Qin Army's Intelligence Department, who was code-named Blind, the escort school lieutenant, and he made a contribution. .In the battle of Huishuihe, not only survived, but also killed several Shatuo soldiers.After the war, he voluntarily joined the Western Expeditionary Army and was temporarily awarded the post of team deputy.The blind man is the school lieutenant of the ninth rank, and he is currently under the temporary command of the blind man.

Not long after running, Song Wendong saw the old blind man, no, it should be said that it was his team leader A Bing and Chen Peirong.He rode a white horse, changed into a navy blue half body armor, and didn't wear the wolf helmet. His whole person was a bit high-spirited, and he was completely different from the trivial fortune-telling old blind man he knew before.He was leaning slightly, talking to several officers around him. When he saw him coming, A Bing didn't wait for him to salute and said, "Should I call you Song Wendong or Song Wentong? Captain Song, You are a bit unfathomable, and you can't tell the truth to anyone. Now I have some doubts, are you a secret agent sent by Boye Army in Chengde Town. "

"My little real name is Song Wentong. I didn't intend to hide anything, but..." Song Wentong wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect that this blind man would be so powerful that he could even hide the secret he had been hiding since he left Chengde Town. I know my real name.It seems that his details must have been known to Qin Jun already.Fortunately, I am not a secret agent, otherwise I would have died long ago.

The blind man didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation, "It doesn't matter if you are called Song Wentong or Song Wendong, as long as you don't want to do anything that is not good for the Qin army. Now I have a task for you, and you will go to Yanmen Pass in a while Now, this time we have to rely on those Shatuo captives to trick us into the customs, but these captives can’t believe them all, so you will pretend to be a Shatuo cavalry in a while, mix behind those leaders, and keep an eye on them. If they dare to make any changes, you will end them."

"Am I alone?" Song Wentong no longer has the air of a boss in the civilian husband's camp. Although the blind man is just a small sesame officer, he is an officer in the Qin army anyway, and he is better than him, who has just temporarily served as the deputy of the army. , but even a guy with official status is much better.

"One person is enough. You will strap ten thunderbolts on your body in a while. If they make any changes, you can just light them up and die with them." The blind man said casually.

Song Wentong's face turned red and white, but fortunately, the blind man's words were just a joke.The order given to him this time is to let him and some civilian husbands in the Shatuo army and some soldiers of the Qin army serve as the personal soldiers of those officers who surrendered to the Shatuo army.

After the Battle of Huishuihe, Zhang Zimian had already moved south quickly, preparing to capture Yanmen.However, although there were only five thousand old and weak left in Yanmen, Zhang Zimian did not take it lightly, let alone plan to attack by force.His plan was to let a group of Shatuo troops who surrendered escort a group of Qin soldiers, pretending to be prisoners captured by the Qin army on the way to the north, and escort them back to Yanmen Pass.Use this to deceive into the pass, seize the gate, and lead the army into the pass.However, the Shatuo people are now bearing the reputation of being untrustworthy, so for the sake of insurance, some people must be arranged to follow these Shatuo people to prevent them from making any strange moves.

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 is an ordinary farmer's son. After joining the army, he became the leader of the German army step by step with his true skills.If it wasn't for his low background, it would be possible to be a camp owner with his ability.Now he joins the Qin army by mistake, which in his opinion is a great opportunity.Otherwise, he wouldn't have cooperated with the blind man's actions back then.

The Qin army is not a feudal town like the Chengde army that has no future to compare with. On the contrary, the Qin army is in full swing.Joining the Qin army, with his ability, he will definitely be able to get ahead.The key is that he lacks opportunities now, and now the opportunities have come to him.If he can help win Yanmen Pass, this is a very valuable qualification.As for the danger, he didn't believe there would be any.The few Shatuo surrendered generals were originally small officers like school lieutenants, plus they were newly defeated and frightened, and the Qin army had selected them, all of whom had relatives in the army.With hostages in hand, and their own low status in the Shatuo Army, and the money reward promised by Qin Fan, they knew how to choose.

In fact, Song Wentong just came out of Yanmen Pass a few days ago, and he knows the situation there very well.Right now the city is only guarded by 3 old and weak soldiers, and because Cheng Huaiyi is leading a large army outside the pass, 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 [-] elite cavalry, so there is no need for such troubles at all. They drive directly to the pass. There is no reinforcements at Yanmen Pass. What else can they do except surrender?Even if they want to defend, how many thousand old and weak can defend the [-] Qin army with firearms?What's more, Qin Jun also brought more than [-] civilian husbands with him.

When Song Wentong pretended to be a soldier of Shatuo's surrender, and followed them to escort two hundred prisoners of war to Yanmen Pass, only then did he realize that someone had arrived.They didn't send a sentry at all, and they were completely defenseless.

Two hundred Shatuo cavalry, with one thousand auxiliary soldiers, escorted two hundred Qin army scouting horse prisoners who had been defeated by General Cheng on the way northward. The leading general said a few words of greeting, and immediately gave the order to open the city gate.

Song Wentong was riding on the horse, with his right hand placed behind the general's back, and a short knife in his hand resting there.Hearing the Yanmenguan suspension bridge and city gates creaking and opening, the general's stiff body couldn't help but relax a lot, and Song Wentong also let out a long breath.

It succeeded, things went smoothly beyond imagination, and the first pass in Jiuzhaigou in the world was disarmed in front of him!

Controlling the excitement in his heart, Song Wentong pushed the subdued general calmly, and then rode his horse and followed him slowly into Yanmenguan City! (To be continued.)
