"If you go down this way, you will be a sword soldier without eyes, you have one more weapon to defend yourself, and I am more relieved. "Night Departure.

Princess Zixi also had a soft spot for Yeli, but she was a little hesitant when she found out that he was an arrogant son. Seeing that Yeli's words were sincere, and his care for himself was fully revealed, a beautiful heart of his daughter's family was suddenly moved.

So she took the fish intestine sword and said, "Then, I'll take it for the time being, and I'll give it back to you when I enter Stu City." As he said, he pinned the fish intestine sword into his waist and said, "Go back." ”

Ye Li saw that Princess Zixi accepted his fish intestine sword, so she was so happy, so she answered, and reluctantly turned around and left.

After walking about three or five feet away, he turned around again and stared at Princess Zixi quietly.

The cold moon was silent, the lights were dim, and the slender shadow of Princess Zixi was faint, gradually moving away, as if she had gone away.

The corrugated pass is on the left by the high mountain, the right is near the Yu River, although the pass is small, but it is very steep.

The original guard was named Yu Gen, and he was sent by Princess Zixi's father, Kejing Hou Yinghong. Later, Sukhum gathered a crowd to rebel and kidnapped Yinghong, so he sent his henchman Yong to replace Fang Ban with Yu Gen to prevent Yinghong's old army from colluding with the Tati people in the north.

Sure enough, after Princess Yingzixi killed out of Stu City, she was protected by the vine armor guard and threw herself towards Tatibao. Su Kung became angry and sent Bahu to hunt down the princess and kill all of them.

Bahu Feng Blaze tracked all the way to Corrugated Pass, only to learn that Princess Zixi had not left the pass, and her people and the remnants of the Vine Armor Guard suddenly disappeared without a trace. Bahu was furious and sternly questioned the guards of the pass, only to learn that the princess had secretly crossed the Yu River. So he led the crowd to chase non-stop, and while leaving the words, he asked the party to strictly guard the corrugated pass, and not to relax for half a day, just in case.

Fang Ban did not dare to slack off after following the order, and personally patrolled the city day and night.

About a month passed, but nothing happened. He speculated that Bahu might have taken the princess and returned to Stu City to invite merit, so he couldn't help but relax his guard and only practiced and played in the general's mansion every day. When the soldiers saw that their commander was like this, they did nothing and gathered together all day to either drink or gamble, and did not take the Tati to heart.

Yeli and Wu Khan led a hundred Tati elite soldiers, all the way lightly armed, climbed the eagle's beak cliff, crossed the mountain temple, and continued to advance along the lofty mountains to the south. After two days of rapid marching, among the clouds and mist of the continuous mountains, it was already possible to vaguely see the corrugated pass, and counting the number of people, some fell off the cliff, some fell into the stream, and more than 20 people had already been broken.

Everyone was amazed, and after resting, they went down the mountain in the dawn, and crossed the Yu River by the twilight.

Staying overnight on the barren bank of the Yu River, after discussion, everyone dressed up in disguise, some dressed as woodcutters, some dressed as farmers, and some dressed as merchants...... And so on. The next day, they successively mixed into the pass, gathered at the entrance of the Ximen Street without knowing it, and settled down, just waiting for the beacon smoke outside the city to ignite, and went to rendezvous, and made an appointment to take the city.

A day later, the brigade of Yan Qiwu really arrived slowly, and set up camp on the boundary more than five miles away from Walengguan, and the news was transmitted. In an instant, I saw a thick cloud of smoke rolling towards the sky.

When everyone in the city saw the smoke rising in the distance, they were in good spirits, and after a date and discussion, they left the city at night to contact.

Yeli disguised himself as a rich man, swaggered to the west gate, and the leader of the gate came up to talk. Yeli said that he had gone to the countryside to book timber to build a house, and on the other hand, he threw a piece of gold, but it was worth the military salary of the guards for several years! Sure enough, there was money to make the ghost grind, and the leader smiled, and asked no more questions, and let the way go.

The night left the pass, and traveled all the way, and soon came to the camp at noon.

Everyone saw each other, discussed for a long time, and decided to seize the corrugated pass at night and raise fire three times at the head of the city.

The discussion has been decided, and he did not dare to stay for a long time at night, so he hurriedly returned to the pass to gather everyone to prepare their own knives and guns, and then seize the pass.

Yan Qiwu's brigade then pulled out of the village, rushed away, and ambushed into the woods and grass outside the city pass, waiting for the city to rise.

The Waleng Pass is located in a remote area, quiet and quiet for many years, and the war seems to be a long time away.

It was the middle of winter, and the night was frosty, and the officers and soldiers defending the city in the second half of the night went into the tower to take a nap, leaving only two to patrol the city.

Yeli and the others had quietly assembled and divided into two teams, one led by the veteran Wu Khan to deal with the officers and soldiers in the tower, and the other led by Yeli to open the city gates. The two teams of men and horses hid on both sides of the West City Gate, waiting for the opportunity.

When the moon is hidden in the west mountain, there is the sound of three more drums on the tower, which is particularly loud in the empty and lonely night.

The veteran Wu Khan couldn't hold back for a long time, and as soon as he heard the sound of the drum of the third watch, he bravely rushed up to the tower, and dozens of people followed closely with sharp blades behind him; Ye Li led a team of elite soldiers to quickly rush to the city gate. Everyone stooped and walked on tiptoe. In the darkness of the night, the speed of the footsteps was very fast, and the weapons made a clanging sound, although subtle but very penetrating.

A patrol soldier was peeing next to the battlements, and found that the sound of peeing was a strange one, but when you listened closely, it was like the sound of weapons clashing. He curled his trousers in confusion, shouted to his companions, and walked over with his spear in hand to watch the movement.

But he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of black and charming figures swept like a swift wind, and the patrol couldn't help but exclaim: "The Tati people have seized the pass! The Tati people have seized the ......."

The veteran Wu Khan ran ahead, suddenly heard the shouting, and broke out in a cold sweat. He leapt into the city like a civet, and slashed up and down with his sword, killing two patrolmen.

When the officers and men in the tower heard the exclamations, they woke up one by one as if from a dream, twisting their guns, holding knives, and holding axes...... It's like a nest of hornets rushing out.

The two sides happened to meet, and they clashed in the dark at the head of the city.

As soon as Yeli ran to the city gate, he was discovered by the defenders of the city. With a shout, a hundred and ten soldiers poured out, and Su Yi surrounded Yeli and the others in the middle and started a fight. Suddenly, the torches were bright, the sound of killing was everywhere, and people kept screaming and dying on the ground.

The officers and soldiers defending the city did not know how many Tati people rushed to the pass, and they were idle and used to it, and as soon as they clashed, they could not withstand the fierce onslaught of the Tati people, and in less than half an hour, the dead died, the wounded were wounded, and those who fled fled, and they were seized by Yeli and others, and they held torches at the head of the city and shook them back and forth three times, and sent a message to the outside of the city.

Yan Qiwu saw it under the city pass, and was overjoyed, and ordered the soldiers and horses to start immediately and enter the corrugated pass.

The scattered Kejing soldiers fled for their lives to the general's mansion one after another, and they kept shouting and shouting: "The Tati people have entered the pass! The Tati people have entered the pass......

Fang Banwu was sleeping soundly with a woman in his arms, and was suddenly awakened, shrugged up from the bed in a panic, and looked out the window to listen.

Outside the house, there was a lot of fire and footsteps, but it was the Tati who had captured Simon.

This news did not thunder to the top, and Fang Ban was so frightened that he rolled out of bed: Princess Wulana Zixi really invited the Tati people! He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, his whole body was cold, and he hurriedly put on his armor, twisted his spear, and led his troops to rush to the rescue.

The vanguard of the Tati had already poured into the pass, and the streets were filled with torches flashing red. The sound of footsteps, knives and guns, and commotion was very loud.

Fang Ban was originally Su Kun's henchman, and he was a little brave, so he naturally had to fight to the death. When he saw that the Tati had entered the pass, but his heels were not firm, he ordered the archers to release their arrows.

Arrows flew like locusts in the air.

Yeli and Wu Khan went down to the city to meet Yan Qiwu and others. Zixi saw that the night was unscathed, and his heart was happy.

Everyone was talking to themselves, but suddenly they heard the earth shake, and the torches shone into the air, killing a group of men and horses, and the arrows in the air were already raining down, and the men and horses were hit one after another, and the screams continued. The people were so panicked that they couldn't resist for a while, and they all retreated under the city gate, giving way to the half-shot space.

Fang Ban was overjoyed, so he took the spear in his hand, shouted, and led his subordinates to roll over like a hurricane, wanting to kill it by surprise, and recapture the gate in one go.

Yan Qiwu came back to his senses, and ordered the shield bearers to form a formation, and the archers shot arrows to stop the formation.

Fang Ban was very brave, facing the rain of arrows, and rushed forward with the spear in his hand. The soldiers behind him shouted and shouted, following closely behind. After a short time, the soldiers fell, and the servants could not parry, and fled back to the battle in embarrassment. Fang Ban was also unable to resist the rain of arrows, and seeing that he was left alone, he was so angry that he yelled, so he had to turn his horse's head and retreat to the main formation.

Fang Ban fled from the arrow array, and suddenly shot a sharp arrow from the darkness, blowing the wind and rushing towards his chest.

The so-called: It is easy to dodge with an open gun, but it is difficult to defend against a hidden arrow! Fang Ban never expected that someone in this formation would secretly kill him. Only then did he realize that the sharp arrow had pierced through his chest, and penetrated his back more than half a foot, and he shook it on the horse's back, and shook it, and fell to the ground.

But in the midst of the firelight, a figure rushed out with a knife, came to Fang Ban and said, "Rebel and thief, you also have today!"

Fang Ban covered the arrows with both hands, dying, and in the blurred pupils, a sword light flashed. He complained: "Yu Gen, I regret not ......" Before he finished speaking, his head had rolled to the side.

The person who came was the front guard of Corrugated Pass!

He took Fang Ban's head, held it high in his hand, turned around, and shouted to all the soldiers: "Brothers, do not be afraid! Sukhum held Yinghou hostage and gathered a crowd to rebel, in order to put our Kejing people in a place of no return. I killed Fang Ban today, that is, I want to defect to the princess and go to crusade against the old thief of Sukhumvit, everyone who wants to go with me, and if you don't want to, please go to your own place!"

As soon as those words were spoken, countless soldiers scattered in a hurry, and each fled for his life. There are still more than 200 people left, who are Yu Gen's old subordinates, and they are willing to go with him to the princess.

So Yu Gen led the old department straight to the gate.

He held up Fang Ban's head and shouted, "Listen on the other side, please invite Princess Yingzixi of Kejing to come out and speak." ”

As soon as the Tati men and horses had stabilized their position, they saw torches fluttering in the street, and figures rushed to this side like a tide.

Yan Qiwu panicked and ordered someone to release the arrow, but Princess Zixi heard it clearly on the side, and hurriedly stopped: "Brother Wu, slow down! Someone wants to talk to me, wait for me to ask first." ”

As I said, Princess Zixi held the sword in her hand, walked out of the formation, and said loudly: "Princess Kejing Ying Zixi is here, who are you?"

Yu Gen took a closer look at the light of the torch, and sure enough, it was Princess Yingzixi! hurriedly said: "Villain Yu Gen, meet the princess." After that, he pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar to the ground.

The soldiers behind him also knelt down and bowed.

Princess Zixi was suspicious, with a horizontal sword in her chest to prevent fraud, and walked a few steps closer, carefully identified, and when she saw it, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Sure enough, it's General Yu, please get up quickly!" The general sent Zixi to smuggle across the Yu River that day, and the great favor has not been reciprocated, how dare he accept this great gift?"

Yu Gen got up and said: "Yinghou is highly respected, and everyone expects it, but the old thief of Sukhum wants to gather the people to rebel and destroy the foundation of our Kejing people! Who in the world does not hate people of insight? Today, the villain killed Fang Ban, just to go with the princess to crusade against the old thief." ”

"The general is worried about the country and the people, and he is jealous of evil like hatred, which is the honor of my Kejing people! Zixi is grateful. Please...... I'll take the general to meet the first few people. Zixi was very grateful, and led Yu Gen to the West Gate, where he met with Elder Yanqi's father and son, Yeli and Wu Khan one by one.

The two places are united in one place, the morale is high, and the military is blazing.

Yan Qiwu ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and properly settle the wounded and disabled fallen soldiers.

After a short rest, the men and horses took advantage of the dawn and went straight to the city of Stu.

The corrugated pass is more than 400 miles away from the city of Stu, during which it is mostly a plain area, although there are hills crisscrossing from time to time, it is difficult to form the Xiongguan pass, so after the corrugated pass, the rebels have no danger to defend, and they will collapse at the first touch, and the Tati people and horses will go south.

Along the way, Zixi opened a warehouse to release grain and recruit old soldiers and new soldiers, while exposing Sukhum's great rebellion and conspiracy, and affirming the righteousness and knowing the benefits.

Those Kejing people came to respect Yinghou Rende, second, to sympathize with the princess's suffering, and third, they also had their own plans, both in the year of great drought and famine, and there was no food at home, so it was better to join the army to quell the chaos, not only in exchange for a few days of food for the family, but also in the future or have military merits, and return to their hometowns, so many of them joined the army. The 5,000 men grew by leaps and bounds to a counterinsurgency army of nearly 20,000 men.

The counterinsurgency army passed through the place, the momentum was like a devastation, invincible, less than seven days had reached the north gate of the city of Stu, set up camp.

Princess Zixi was worried about the safety of her father Yinghou day and night, and now the army has come to the city, and the father and daughter are close at hand, but they can't see each other, so they are more and more worried, and they ask for the siege.

Everyone also has the heart to help the war, and the soldiers are fierce, so the elders of Yanqi took the big tent in the town, and guarded the camp in Gen, and Yan Qiwu personally led the generals and 3,000 men and horses to follow the princess to the bottom of the city of Stu, spread out a large array, and shouted to fight.
