The night is like ink, only the north wind is blowing, the cold climate seems to be able to make people's hands and feet feel numb, the Qing soldiers have already hid in the doorway, lighting a fire to keep warm, most of them have slept soundly, only a few people who are left to keep watch are leaning against the wall, but they are also dozing.

The carbon wood in the brazier crackled from time to time, but it was nothing in the snoring of everyone. From time to time, there were Qing soldiers who turned over and muttered dream words in their mouths, and no one thought that at this time, hundreds of people had already crawled under the city of Beikip Pass.

Li Shihu lay on the ground motionless, now the weather is extremely cold, the ground has been frozen, stabbing his face painfully, but he has been silent, waiting for the arrival of Yinshi, in addition to all the soldiers of the Xiantao Battalion, they are also lying motionless, waiting quietly.

A man quietly came up from behind, it was Gao Yuan, the new battalion commander of the Xiantao Battalion, after the former battalion commander Chen Wu died in Jiujiang, Ning Yu personally promoted the deputy commander of the original battalion, Gao Yuan, in the hope that he could continue the style of the entire Xiantao Battalion.

Gao Yuan put his arm on Li Shihu's shoulder, he held a long knife in his hand, and said softly: "Commander, the time has come, I will take the brothers to seize the pass." ”

"I'll go too, this level, we have to take it no matter what!"

Li Shihu's eyes were fixed on Beikip Pass, and he was also holding a long knife in his hand, this battle was mainly a night battle, and all of them changed their equipment without moving a single shot, so it was natural that this moment was the moment.

Under the cover of night, the group headed towards the North Kip Pass, but there were no torches along the way, but fortunately there was a light of fire on the North Kip Pass, so they could also identify the road clearly.

The Fu Han army was originally dominated by the soldiers of Huguang, and many of them were hunters in the mountains, these people were vigorous, accustomed to climbing high and jumping far, and when they arrived at the city, they took out their strong crossbows, and shot the barbs that had been prepared on the corner of the wall to fix them, and then climbed to the city with daggers in their mouths one by one.

The Qing army was still sleeping soundly, but they didn't know anything about what was happening outside, and after a long time, one of the green battalion soldiers opened their worried eyes, but they didn't fully open their eyes, rubbing their hands together while yawning and walking out of the doorway.

It turned out that the green battalion soldier only felt a burst of urgency in his sleep, and planned to go out to pee for the night, but after he walked out of the doorway for more than ten steps, he was frightened by the sight of everyone climbing the city wall, and when he came to his senses, a crossbow arrow passed through his chest, spilling a rain of blood, and then he fell to the ground and died.

After everyone climbed the wall, Li Shihu took the lead and went to the city gate, originally there was no one to guard this time, only a few old soldiers leaned against the city gate to sleep, and was killed by Li Shihu at the moment, and then he sent a hundred people to stay at the city gate, and he led people to the city gate.

Some Qing soldiers were drowsy, so they seemed to hear something when Li Shihu and others moved, but these people didn't take it seriously, and thought it was the voice of the tanuki.

It's just that the Qing soldiers are not armoured, and they don't have swords, and now they are also dizzy in an emergency, and soon they will die one by one, and they will surrender, but in the dark night, everyone can't see clearly, and they only care about slashing and killing, but they also killed many Qing soldiers who surrendered.

Of course, in this way, the Qing army in the door hole also woke up, but the Fu Han army came too fast and too quickly, and they didn't have time to react, so they could only touch the black clothes and go out to meet the enemy with the guy in their hands, but how could they fight each other with the Fu Han army who were fully prepared? But it's just like the people who came before them, either dead or descended.

The battle did not even take a quarter of an hour, Li Shihu completely cleaned up the 300 Qing soldiers in the North Kip Pass, and there were no casualties among himself, but the Qing army still had 700 people guarding the south gate of the North Kip Pass, so he cleaned up the battlefield and asked the soldiers to put the Qing soldiers' uniforms on their bodies, and then swaggered towards the south gate.

Because the south gate of the North Kip Pass is facing Tongcheng, it is also the direction of the attack of the Fu Han army, so the combat readiness has always been sufficient, and the green battalion garrison Ma Zhengwen has been stationed at the south gate, relatively speaking, it is not as lazy as the north gate, and there are still bright and dark sentinels stationed in the middle of the night, which looks quite like that.

But the problem is that what seems to be the case is completely different from what is really like that, at least for Ma Zhengwen, at this time, it can be regarded as sleeping soundly, and most of his subordinate Qing soldiers are also sleeping.

Ning Yu's request to Li Shihu this time was not to use guns and cannons, and he could not let go of an enemy, so Li Shihu knew in his heart that this battle must not be fought into a scorching situation, and it was necessary to completely cut off the retreat road of the Qing army in a short period of time in order to prevent the whereabouts of the Fu Han army from being leaked.

Looking at the green battalion soldiers who were patrolling ahead. Li Shihu deliberately lowered the cool hat on his head by a few points, and stepped forward to drink: "Password!" This time, however, he was tempted.

Those green battalion soldiers were stunned by the question, but they were speechless, the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn, Li Shihu was also a little nervous in his heart, he clenched the long knife on his waist, and was ready to fight.

After a while, an elderly green battalion soldier walked out, but with a smile on his face, "I don't know what the adults mean by the password?" My brothers have never heard of the patrol password tonight, and they ask the adults to teach them. ”

It turned out that Li Shihu's temptation was to flatter the blind man - the Qing army did not specify a strict night password at all, and the green battalion garrison Ma Wenzheng was just for show, arranging some green battalion soldiers to patrol, and the password and these things were also thrown out of the clouds, and they didn't take it seriously.

However, this made Li Shihu extremely embarrassed, he waved his hand and said vaguely: "I have something important to meet with my lord, and the situation is urgent, about the whereabouts of Chu Wei this time." ”

Here Li Shihu snorted again, what he wanted to see was naturally the local garrison, but he didn't know who the garrison was, so he deliberately said that he was an adult, but he could be regarded as fooling the past.

The green battalion soldiers led by him breathed a sigh of relief, he still thought that what was going on tonight, if others knew, he didn't know, it would affect the future very much...... But at the moment, it seems that he is just going to see his own adult, and it doesn't seem to matter much.

"The little ones are going to pass it on, and I ask the adults to wait a while. I don't know what the name of the adult is, but please let me know. ”

"You little commander, where do you get so much nonsense? Military affairs, if there is a delay, you will not be able to withstand the crime with ten heads! ”

This reprimand was effective, the one who was always bluffed was stunned, and he didn't dare to say anything more at the moment, so he had to lead the way with his soldiers in front, while Li Shihu followed behind with hundreds of people, which looked a little weird.

After a while, everyone came to a house in the south of Beikip Pass, which was Ma Wenzheng's residence, after all, he was also a five-grade official of the imperial court, and he couldn't be crowded together with the gang of green battalion soldiers, so Ma Wenzheng set up a house here.

Seeing that the main owner was inside, Li Shihu was impatient to continue acting, so he made a look, and the soldiers on the left and right swarmed forward, forcing a group of green battalion soldiers in front of him with knives, and then sent someone to knock on the door.
