The Celestial Army was caught off guard, and three thousand forward soldiers were killed on the spot!

Although a large number of enemies immediately swarmed out, 3,000 people still slowed down the pace of the Qing army's breakthrough at the cost of death!

Greeting the enemy was a reorganized division of the Celestial Army, 10,000 soldiers!

The division commander Xue Dazhi commanded calmly, let everyone line up in a tight formation, and was stuck in the breakthrough of the Qing army!

It's like a flood encountering a flood levee, and two forces collide!

The flow of water is blocked, and the embankment stands still!

The water splashes everywhere and the colors are bright red!

It was the passage of more than a thousand lives under a collision, the last bit of life fire ignited, and the last bit of color left on the world!

The torrent of the Qing army's breakthrough was blocked, but it did not stop, and it rushed with greater force, surging upward!

In this situation, even the people in front of you can't do anything if they want to stop!

Because the hundreds of thousands of troops behind did not stop at all, and continued to rush out!

A more intense impact occurred, and another round of blood condensed rainbow rose into the sky, thicker than the previous one, and permeated a wider space.

In this fight, 2,000 people on each side fell to the dust!

When Xue Dazhi saw this ending, his eyes were red!

Among the people who died in the Heavenly Army, there was Zhao Feilong, a young officer he valued the most!

Zhao Feilong's martial arts are no longer below him, and he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, with unlimited potential!

But in this chaotic army melee, no matter how high the martial arts are, they can't escape the rotation of the meat grinder!

Xue Dazhi saw with his own eyes that Zhao Feilong rose up bravely and picked three enemy generals in a row, but when he picked the fourth member, that person was very fierce, and he even ignored the pain and tightly grabbed the spear that went deep into his chest and abdomen!

It's too late, it's too soon. The two spears of the Qing general also pierced Zhao Feilong's two ribs at the same time!

These two Qing generals were very cruel, and after they succeeded, they stepped forward, not only piercing deeper, but also stirring up for a while. Seeing that Zhao Feilong is dead, he can't die anymore!

But just when the two Qing generals thought they were done, Zhao Feilong suddenly broke out!

He ignored the spear in his belly, leaned forward, grabbed the heads of the two enemy generals one in each hand, and used all his strength to make them collide together!

"Whoa!"

Both heads exploded at the same time, like two watermelons!

Bang Dang!

Zhao Feilong also fell into the dust at the same time!

After the Huashan faction surrendered to the Heavenly Army, they formed a ten-member regiment with Jiutian Zhenren and his nine apprentices. Help the Celestial Army quickly recover the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains and the surrounding areas.

Their main method of helping is to plot rebellion.

Their method of rebellion was that these ten-member regiments were dispatched one after another to the target of the current attack of the Celestial Army, and persuaded the lay disciples of the Chinese sect who were in charge of the army there to surrender to the Celestial Army.

Because the Huashan faction had a significant influence in the local area, these heavyweight high-ranking leaders came out. Let those lay disciples be flattered.

In a trance, he immediately obeyed his words.

That's it. Huayin, Luonan, Danfeng, Qiannan, Lushi, Huaxian, Qiluo, Lantian and other places all surrendered to the territory of the Heavenly Army at the first time.

There is only Tongguan, not too smooth, although it is the Nine Heavens Zhenren who personally went out.

Although this lay disciple was not included in the ranks of Huashan Zheng's disciples, he had the name of an official disciple. It's called Zhao Yijing.

It turned out that he had been to Huashan, but later because he was keen on fame and fortune, he also went to officialdom, so he is now the president of Qian, responsible for the defense affairs of the entire Tongguan.

Nine days as soon as the real person arrived. immediately explained his intention and asked Zhao Yijing to surrender to the Heavenly Army.

Zhao Yijing immediately fell into a dilemma.

On the one hand, he really didn't want to surrender, and on the other hand, he didn't want to offend the master, and at the same time, he didn't dare, if the master got angry, he really couldn't bear it.

So, he was perfunctory.

On the one hand, he entertained the Master with extreme enthusiasm, and on the other hand, he did not give the Master permission and dragged on without surrendering.

After a day of delay, Jiutian Zhenren was in a hurry! Because the deadline for the Heavenly Army has arrived, and if he does not surrender, it is tantamount to not doing it as agreed, and Jiutian is also a good-looking person, and he cannot afford to lose this face.

So, he directly broke into Zhao Yijing's camp, issued an ultimatum, and surrendered immediately!

Otherwise, capture him alive and give him to the Heavenly Army! If you resist, you will give the Heavenly Army a dead body!

Zhao Yijing had no choice but to submit to his master.

The Qing army surrendered, and the Celestial army entered Tongguan.

Because Zhao Yijing was a battlefield uprising, according to the practice of the Heavenly Army, he was assigned a brigade commander of the Heavenly Army, which was equivalent to an official promotion, and the number of his troops increased from more than 1,000 to more than 3,000.

His defense zone is also still Tongguan.

The part of the Heavenly Army that originally belonged to Cheng Tunjin still belonged to the original system, and Wang Shaojie's ten regiments of reinforcements were ordered to be stationed at Tongguan.

Zhao Yijing belongs to Wang Shaojie's moderation.

When Mai Kelin left for the Taihang Mountains, he deliberately came to this strategic ancient city, on the one hand, to admire this important city, and on the other hand, to deploy the defense here.

Mai Ke had to go around, Wang Shaojie accompanied him, and he himself also needed to understand the surrounding terrain.

Combined with his previous military knowledge and field observations, Mai Ke has a deeper understanding of this strategic location.

Wang Shaojie has never seen such a majestic pass, and he has increased his understanding of the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland.

The history of Tongguan has a long history.

The Book of Tang contains "the ancient Tao Linsai".

"Zuo Biography" also has a record of "the Marquis of Jin made Zhan Jia guard the fortress of the peach forest".

At that time, the scope of Taolin included the east of Tongguan and the west of Nanling Bao County.

During the Warring States Period, Hangu Pass became the east gate of Qin, which was in the area of Wangduo Village, Potou Township, Lingbao County, and was adjacent to Hongnongjian in the east

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought in Tongguan, and the name of Tongguan was first seen in history.

Tongguan Guancheng was founded in Han, on the source south of the port, that is, near Yangjiazhuang.

In the seventh year of the Sui Dynasty, that is, in 611, the Guancheng was moved to the area of the north village of the south city of Yangjiazhuang, and the north and south of the Guancheng of the Han Dynasty were sandwiched to form two Guancheng, which were more dangerous.

Tang Wu granted two years every day, that is, in 691, Tongguan moved north from the plateau to the source, and opened a road along the river, which is the current Tongguan.

In order to consolidate their dominance, the rulers of all dynasties have stationed heavy troops here and set up guards to guard them.

Tongguan, repaired many times since the Song and Ming dynasties, is well preserved.

The west gate has the gatehouse of the Ming Dynasty building, commonly known as "Qiao Tower", which is magnificent and magnificent.

"Water Jing Note" contains: "The river flows in the south of the Guan, Tong Jiguan Mountain", so it has to be called Tong, because "Tong waves are turbulent", also known as Chongguan.

There is the Qinling Barrier in the south, there is the Yellow River moat in the north, there is the year in the east, there is the natural defense line that crosses the east and west, such as the forbidden ditch, the original Wanggou, the Manluo River, etc., and it is bound to become "close the door and choke Kyushu, and the birds can not pass".

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a large-scale increase in Tongguan; among them, Liu Tong built a city with a thousand households, and commanded Jin Shima to increase and repair the city card to build the city wall "according to the mountain situation and twists and turns", which was later called the Ming City.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was expanded and expanded, bordering the Yellow River in the north, crossing the Phoenix and Qilin Mountains in the south, extending the Qilin Mountain in the south along the East-West Road in the east, and extending the Qilin Mountain in the south along the East-West Avenue.

What Mai Ke and Wang Shaojie see now is the result of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's construction of the city.

On these four mountains, the two agreed to allocate a regiment to defend them.

A bird's-eye view of the whole city, you can see that the city gate is open in six places, each with two holes, and there are urn cities connected.

The east gate is called Jin Steep, the first name is "Ying'en", and then it is changed to "Ping Fan and Shaanxi".

In the west, it was called "Huaiyuan", and later changed to "control zhì Sanqin".

There are two south gates, the east one is called the upper south gate, first named "Lingyun", then changed to "Linyou", then changed to "Lanshan"; the west side is called the lower south gate, first named "Yingxun", then changed to "Fengyi".

There are also two north gates, and the west side is the big north gate, which is called "flood absorption" at first, and then changed to "Baying".

There are two gates in the north and south waters, seven sluice towers are built at the north gate in the south, and there are overpasses in the gate, and nine sluice gates are built at the north gate. There are six city gates, except for the south gate, there are two in the east and west cities. Tongshui passes through the city and flows into the Yellow River through the Tongjin Bridge.

Tongguan history is called "the first risk in Jinnei", is "the key to the three Qin towns", "the throat of the four towns", since the end of the Han Dynasty to establish the county has a history of more than 2,000 years. It occupies the intersection of Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi, and is a place where soldiers have always been contested.

For the six gates, the two also agreed on the arrangement of troops.

"You have three tasks, Shaojie! First, block the Qing soldiers, resolutely prevent not a single soldier from entering the customs from here, and ensure the victory of our decisive battle between the two rivers.

"Second, take the Celestial Army from the west and northwest, let them go along the pass of Lìtongguò and participate in the decisive battle of the Two Rivers, and let no one stop the Celestial Army from entering the area of the decisive battle of the Two Rivers.

"Third, keep a firm eye on the newly surrendered Zhao Yijing, use them restrictedly, contribute to the purpose of the Heavenly Army, and don't let them do bad things!"

After looking at the terrain, Mai Ke explained the reason for leaving Wang Shaojie to garrison Tongguan.

"Resolutely complete the task!" Wang Shaojie assured without hesitation, and then asked, "That Zhao Yijing has a problem?"

"Yes, I see that his expression is uncertain, and the surrender of the Heavenly Army seems to be perfunctory, most of it is the result of the suppression of the Nine Heavens True People, you just need to pay more attention to it. ”

"Do you want to strike first and rule out this potential trouble first?" Wang Shaojie resolutely asked.

"No need! When he shows his counter-intentions and makes some action, he is giving a thunderous blow! It is both convincing to others and has a definite deterrent effect, and at present, you are focusing your main attention on this issue; on the surface, you are repairing the fortifications and preparing to face the enemy. ”

After Mai Ke finished speaking, he told Wang Shaojie's contact information, and went to chase after the army.

What the two didn't know was that during the inspection of the two, Zhao Yijing had already decided to go against the Heavenly Army and continue to join the Manchus.

In fact, his mind had not changed, and it was only because of the strong pressure of the Nine Heavens True Sect that he took an expedient measure and surrendered to the Heavenly Army with all the members of the Quanzhen Sect.

Now, the Nine Heavens True Man has left with the Heavenly Army, and he has no pressure, and he really doesn't pay attention to Wang Shaojie, the leader of the Heavenly Army, but he is just a young man in his twenties!.
