After the Fuming battalion attacked Jianzhou, it was met with stubborn resistance from the defenders. Although the defenders lost the city gates, they quickly moved into various streets under the leadership of their generals and repeatedly fought with the Restoration Battalion. Gou Xingwang led people around the east gate to the south gate, and quickly occupied the south gate and attacked the city, while Lin Kejia directly led people from the east gate to the city. The two attacked from two directions in the direction of the Zhizhou Yamen in the city.

Jianzhou Zhizhou Tian Chengsui was in a hurry, why did the Ming army enter the city when he said that he would enter the city? I have not received any news of the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, and last month the governor Gao Minzhan also asked to escort Zhuangding and grain and grass to Baoning, saying that he would go to Chengdu. Why didn't Chengdu fight, now the Ming army has arrived at the doorstep. While arranging for people to go to Jianmen Pass to ask for help, he let the soldiers in the city resist as much as they can.

As soon as Tian Chengsui informed the government that he wanted to arrest the Ming army and attack the Ming army that had entered the city, someone came to report that "the Ming army is about to hit the yamen," and the messenger said as he pulled Tian Chengsui to retreat to the north gate. Tian Chengsui broke free and said: "As an official of the imperial court, how can I abandon the city and flee. Since the city is broken, there is only one dead ear. After speaking, he ignored the person who reported the news, and went to the back hall to commit suicide.

The person who reported the news saw that the old man Zhizhou was dead in the back hall, and went out and shouted: "The old man of Zhizhou is dead" This shout, the soldiers who were originally stubbornly resisting turned around and ran, and the officials were all dead and fart.

As soon as the resisting soldiers ran, Lin Kejia led people to quickly attack the Zhizhou Yamen, and then Gou Xingwang attacked the west gate, and the fleeing soldiers ran and shouted, and the news of Tian Chengsui's suicide suddenly spread throughout the defenders who were still resisting. The guards fled one after another, seeing that Gou Xingwang led people to chase them to the west gate. He turned his head and fled to the north gate, and when Gou Xingwang killed the guards at the west gate, and then at the east gate, the guards also ran out of the city.

Gou Xingwang didn't have time to chase the fleeing soldiers, so he hurriedly occupied the north gate and began to clear the remnants of the enemy in the city. After the city is cleared of the remnants of the enemy, let the officials of the Jianzhou Mansion who surrendered come out to settle the people. After a while, Lin Kejia also rushed to converge, and Gou Xingwang said: "Now that we are attacking Jianzhou during the day, I am afraid that the Jianmen Pass will soon know, so I think we should rush to seize the Jianmen Pass immediately." Lin Kejia also agreed, so the two of them left behind the wounded 300 people, and forcibly incorporated the 200 strong men brought from Cangxi into the army. Then the two of them rushed to Jianmen Pass overnight with the remaining six hundred people.

Gou Xingwang couldn't go forward in the second half of the night with the army, not because Gou Xingwang was not in a hurry, but because the road was too difficult. Since leaving Jianzhou, the mountains have become more and more steep, and there are many roads with cliffs next to them, and the corns of this era are blind. Several soldiers had already fallen off the cliff, and no matter how the officers whipped the soldiers, they just wouldn't leave, Gou Xingwang and Lin Kejia really had no choice but to find a wide place to camp and rest.

As soon as it dawned the next day, Gou Xingwang urged the army forward. But still walked for two days, on the third day only saw Jianmen Pass from afar, and so on Gou Xingwang saw the location of Jianmen Pass clearly, stood far away and felt frightened, only to see Jianmen Pass Pass City set up in the bitter bamboo pass on the top of Xiaojian Mountain, the east side of the city is cut off by a deep gully, the west cliff towers, the north face is like a city outline, only the gate is feasible. Even the south side where he is located is also the mouth of the rock village, a high thick wall of stone and wood structure, firmly blocking the road to the north. The cliffs are cut into the knife, and there is no place to climb.

Gou Xingwang and Lin Kejia glanced at each other, and they both showed a wry smile, don't say that there are only 600 people at such a pass, even if there are 100,000 troops, they don't want to break through the pass. But now there is no way, and I have to go hard. When the two were really worried, someone came to report that they had caught two spies. After Gou Xingwang and Lin Kejia interrogated, they were ecstatic.

These two people are actually the messenger sent by Jianzhou Zhizhou Tian Chengsui to Jianmen Pass for help, the two received Zhizhou's order, came out of the north gate and traveled all the way, and when they arrived at Ma'anling, it was dark, thinking that Zhizhou would give the letter to Jianmen Pass as soon as possible Zhao Yingfu's hand, the two decided to rush overnight, but when they climbed up Ma'anling, one of them slipped under his feet, and the other saw that he was going to fall down the mountain and hurriedly pulled, and he didn't stand firm when he pulled it, and the two rolled down the hill together. Fortunately, the hill they rolled down was not steep and there was no cliff. But the two were still injured, and the two did not drive away. I waited at the bottom of the mountain for one night, and the next day I had to go around for a long time to get back to the official road. When the two of them arrived at Jianmen Pass, they also fell behind Gou Xingwang and the others, and were arrested after being discovered by the scouts behind.

Gou Xingwang took a knife and forced the two to hand over Tian Chengsui to send a letter of help from Zhao Yingfu, the guard of the Sword Gate, but the two handed it over without insisting in front of the bright knife. Gou Xingwang discussed with Lin Kejia: "Mr. Lin, we use a letter to cheat the customs, and we should be able to succeed." Lin Kejia said: "I'm afraid not." ”

Gou Xingwang said: "Why? You see, we just cheated Baoning. ”

Lin Kejia said: "Fraud can be successful, but fraud cannot be done at the sword gate." At that time, there were more than 30 people who went to Baoning City, but how many people can you go to send a letter now? Gou Xingwang heard it and said, "Isn't that useless this letter?" Holy shit, I'm glad I thought we could take the sword gate. ”

Lin Kejia said: "It's not useless, but it depends on how to use it." Gou Xingwang hurriedly said: "Then tell me how to use it?" Lin Kejia said: "It's still early, we will wait until the evening to send someone to send this letter to Jianmen Pass, this letter was written by Tian Chengsui himself, Zhao Yingfu will never doubt it." He will definitely bring people to support, Jianmen Pass is extremely important, he will not bring many soldiers and horses, and besides, there are only 1,000 people in Jianmen Pass, and he does not dare to take more people away. Then we will take the men to set up an ambush at a place called Wulipo ten miles away, which is narrow and half of it is surrounded by cliffs. We've packed up the reinforcements and we're coming to cheat the pass, so we can succeed. ”

Gou Xingwang was overjoyed and said, "Okay, let's arrange it." ”

So the two of them led the team to retreat to Wulipo and prepared to set up an ambush. The two did not dare to let the sergeant light a fire, so everyone ate some dry food and waited quietly until it got dark. Finally waited until after dark, Gou Xingwang selected two clever people, and asked them to change their clothes with the two officials sent by Tian Chengsui and go to Jianmen. Gou Xingwang led people to quietly ambush in Wulipo.

After waiting for about another hour, I saw a row of torches galloping on the mountain in the distance, and after waiting for almost half an hour, I saw a group of Qing soldiers hurrying towards Jianzhou. After seeing the Qing soldiers who came clearly, there were about 500 people, and it may be that there was no war in Jianmen Pass for many years, so this group of Qing soldiers did not send scouts, and I saw a general in the team with Qing soldiers, constantly urging the army to move quickly. And the two people sent by Gou Xingwang to deliver the letter saw that the Qing soldiers had already gone up Wulipo, and they fell to the ground with a sigh. When the general went to ask, he replied: "The general doesn't care about me, it may be that I have walked a lot in the past two days, and now my foot is broken, and Jianzhou is still waiting for General Zhao to save me, don't worry about me and delay the big thing." It turned out that when he heard that Jianzhou was in danger, Zhao Yingfu actually led his troops to rescue him.

Zhao Yingfu didn't say much when he saw this, and turned his head to urge the sergeant to hurry up. Gou Xingwang and Lin Kejia were ambushed in the distance and heard Zhao Yingfu's conversation, and they were very happy to know that it was Zhao Yingfu who came.

After Zhao Yingfu led all the troops into the ambush, Gou Xingwang roared angrily, and the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion were killed instantly. Lin Kejia led people to fight from the back to the front, Gou Xingwang led people to attack from the front to the back, and with just a cup of tea, the Qing troops who were blocked in Wulipo threw away their weapons and surrendered. There is no way to surrender, the front and back are blocked, with cliffs on the left and mountains on the right. I didn't even have to run. When the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion brought Zhao Yingfu to Gou Xingwang, Zhao Yingfu didn't even know who the person who attacked him was, so he asked Gou Xingwang: "General, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." I went to rescue Jianzhou, and Jianzhou said that the remnants of the Ming army were in rebellion and were attacking Jianzhou. I am an officer and soldier of the Qing Dynasty, an officer and an officer! ”

Gou Xingwang said with a smile: "I know that Jianzhou has been attacked, otherwise I will come here to do something" Zhao Yingfu said: "Since the general is also going to rescue Jianzhou, then we are friendly troops, we will go to save Jianzhou together, and the credit will be all the general's, Zhao will not want anything." Gou Xingwang said: "Merit is not important, what you tell me about how many defenders are there in Jianmen Pass now?" ”

Zhao Yingfu saw Gou Xingwang and asked him about the defenders of Jianmen Pass, only to find out that something was wrong. Because most of the people led by Gou Xingwang are the army and the people. So many people are wearing the uniforms of the Qing army, and they have braids on their heads. Zhao Yingfu thought that he was going to save Jianzhou together, for fear that he would be robbed of the credit. It's dark and the road is dangerous, and some people have the heart to take the credit and want to kill themselves to take the credit. Only now did I find out that it was not, these people had never flown the banner of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Yingfu hurriedly asked cautiously: "I don't know which king the general is, as long as you open your mouth, you can just open your mouth if you want silver." Lin Kejia also came over at this time and said: "We don't want your silver, so we ask you how many defenders there are in Jianmen Pass." "Lin Kejia led people to tie up the prisoners just now, so it took some time.

Zhao Yingfu saw that the two of them only asked about the situation of Jianmen Pass, and said in shock: "The two of you don't want to attack Jianmen Pass," Zhao Yingfu saw that the two of them didn't answer, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't think about it, just rely on the two of you, it's not enough to stuff your teeth, if you two ask for money, I can give it, and it's not a problem to ask for as much as you want." But if you two want to go to the Sword Gate, I persuade you to dispel this idea, and you two let me go, and I will treat it as if it didn't happen. Otherwise, the two of them are afraid that they will be buried in front of the Sword Gate. ”

Gou Xingwang said: "You don't say much, it's our business to fight or not, you just need to tell us how many defenders there are at Jianmen Pass." Seeing this, Zhao Yingfu's eyes turned and said: "Now there are more than 5,000 defenders in Jianmen Pass" Gou Xingwang instantly put a knife on Zhao Yingfu's neck and said: "You dare to fool me, there are obviously only 1,000 defenders in the pass, and now you have taken 500 out, and there are still 500 defenders left." How did it become more than 5,000? ”

Zhao Yingfu was shocked, and he didn't know why Gou Xingwang felt the situation in the pass so clearly. But he still quibbled: "Originally, there were only 1,000 defenders, but last month Gao Minzhan said that he would attack Chengdu after all the summer grain was put into storage, so he asked the imperial court to send troops to support." The imperial court sent Hanzhong garrison Zheng Sanping to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to help, just arrived at Jianmen Pass yesterday, because all the way from Hanzhong is a mountain road, so rest in Jianmen Pass for a few days. ”

Gou Xingwang was shocked in his heart, if he really formed these 600 people like this, wouldn't it be self-defeating. Zhao Yingfu saw that Gou Xingwang's face was embarrassed, and he was about to persuade again, thinking that although he was captured by the army from nowhere, he kept the Jianmen Pass with his three-inch tongue, and he could still save his future if he offset his merits and demerits.

Lin Kejia saw that Gou Xingwang was a little hesitant and said: "Don't talk nonsense, even if you don't rest in Guangyuan, run to your sword gate to rest?" Zhao Yingfu was shocked in his heart and said: "Of course, in order to prevent the attack of Jianmen Pass, the mountain road will be difficult and the grain and grass will be inconvenient. As early as in the Jianmen Pass, there were no more than 10,000 stones of grain and grass. Of course, he rested at the Sword Gate. ”

Gou Xingwang was also suspicious at this time, and said, "Okay, when what you say is true, you wait." Lao Tzu grabbed other people and asked, if you dare to lie to Lao Tzu. I will cut off all your limbs at once, hang you on the cliff, and dry you. As he spoke, he went to the other captives for interrogation.

When Zhao Yingfu saw Gou Xingwang, he was really busy begging for mercy and said, "The general spares his life, the general." There were only 500 defenders at Jianmen Pass. There was no one, only five hundred. Gou Xingwang saw Zhao Yingfu change his words and came back: "You just said that it is more than 5,000?" Why five hundred now? Zhao Yingfu said with a cry: "General, I'm afraid that you will really go to a sneak attack, if I lose the sword gate, my family will not survive!" I will scare and scare the general, so that the general will retreat. I kept the Sword Gate Pass, and the imperial court may have bypassed my family. ”

Gou Xingwang scolded and scolded: "You almost cheated you on the dog's day, so the food you just said about hoarding in the customs is also fake?" Zhao Yingfu hurriedly said: "Really, this is really not daring to deceive the general anymore." ”

Gou Xingwang saw that he didn't look like a fake, but he still went to find a few captives to interrogate, and he was relieved to say the same. Gou Xingwang discussed with Lin Kejia and decided to go to the fraud now. So let Gou Xingwang lead people to sneak to the sword gate first and hide it. Lin Kejia left another hundred people to watch the captives, and admonished and threatened: "If one person dares to be the most chaotic, all the others will be thrown off the cliff." Seeing that the captives did not dare to move, he asked people to take away everyone's trouser belts, and then he took fifty people to the Sword Gate Pass to cheat the pass.
