Chapter 610: Open the Gate and Let the Great Prince Enter the Customs (Second Update)
Chapter 610
After eating and drinking enough, after a short rest, taking advantage of the distance, the sky was still bright, and the 20,000 cavalry took the lead, and Zhi Kexing waited for the cavalry to leave, and then led the foot soldiers to continue to advance.
And by the time the 20,000 elite horsemen arrived less than two miles away from Qin's camel mouth, the sky had completely darkened. Above the sky, the moon flickered among the clouds that seemed to slow down.
Liang Shou took a deep breath and glanced at the thousand "soldiers and horses" around him, well, of the more than 100 guards who really belonged to Liang Shou, only five of them remained by his side now. The rest are all elite people selected from among the horsemen by Wang Yang, the little Wang.
And he was completely surrounded in the center, if he did anything unfavorable to the Song army, I believe that he would be chopped into a boutique four-happiness pill by these "guards" who nominally protected him as soon as possible.
The 19,000 elite cavalry behind him was quiet and silent at the moment, Liang Shou didn't look back, but he could feel that Wang Yang's knife-like gaze had been staring at his back.
Riding the horse slowly forward, soon, just when there was still a stone's throw away from the Qin Camel Ridge, there was a loud cheer from the pass where torches had already been lit.
Naturally, it was the party language, and he shouted loudly and asked who it was.
"I am Liang Shou, the commander of the Shun Army in the right wing, and the general defending the city is General Li Bing, so let him come to see me quickly." Liang Shou stood up on horseback and shouted loudly.
Hearing this shout, the defenders above hurriedly pulled their throats to let Liang Shou wait first, and hurriedly sent someone to find Li Bing, the general of the city defense.
The pass of Qin's camel mouth is not big, and before the time of tea, Li Bing, who was reading a book in his room, received the news, and heard that Liang Shou, the commander of the Shun Army in the right wing, was a henchman of Liang Yikui, and he didn't know that it was the prince of Liang who came.
When he walked quickly towards the south gate of the pass, he soon boarded the south gate. "Is it the eldest prince?"
"General Li, it is Liang, and he didn't open the gate quickly, Liang was ordered by his father to pass through this pass." Liang Shou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Li Bing's voice, and hurriedly replied loudly.
"The last general obeys the order, why are you still stunned, put away all the weapons for me, quickly open the gate, and let the eldest prince enter the ......gate" Soon, Li Bing's voice shouted at the guards in the city.
Soon, with the ugly creaking sound, the closed door that had been closed was slowly opening. At this moment, Zhi Keshi had already led two thousand and four horsemen with four hooves wrapped in cloth, and quietly approached a place only one mile away from the gate.
Seeing the moment the door was closed and opened, Zhi Keshi really had an urge to order a raid on the past, but in the end, reason overcame the impulse.
Pacifying the equally eager mount under him, his eyes continued to stare ahead almost unblinking, watching the thousand "party cavalry" slowly move forward, and finally, entered the pass.
"General Li, I haven't seen you for a few months, I can't imagine that you are still ......" After entering the customs, Liang Shou jumped off his mount, stayed where he was, and looked at Li Bing who was walking briskly towards him with a smile.
"How can you get the eldest prince, huh...... What do you do? After Li Bingle walked closer, he quickly realized that something was wrong, but after the ring-headed knife on the left and right sides of him was put on his neck, Li Bing was directly stunned. What are you doing here, eldest son? ”
"Let your men lay down their arms and get out of the gates. Liang will personally explain to General Li......" Liang Shou took a few steps forward, bowed deeply to Li Bing, and then smiled bitterly.
Li Bing looked at the "guards" who had already begun to draw their weapons one after another and began to kill Liang Shou on both sides, no longer hesitated, and hurriedly shouted.
Soon, the defenders of the pass retreated to both sides and gave way to the city gates. "Please also ask General Li to go with us to take the north gate, and when the time comes, General Li, your glory and wealth will be indispensable." At this time, a deputy commander lifted the mask on his face and showed a kind smile towards Li Bing.
"You are Song Jun...... Alas, please come with me, general. Glancing at the eldest prince standing beside him, and then at the elite of the Song army who poured in, as well as the rumbling sound of hooves from the south, there were at least tens of thousands of iron horsemen, and when the south gate was lost, there were only two thousand defenders of the Qin camel, how could it be possible to stop these elite Song army who were murderous.
A quarter of an hour later, a battalion commander galloped out of the north gate with five hundred elite horsemen, intercepting and killing the dozens of party defenders who had hurriedly crossed the city wall and tried to escape.
In the absence of war horses, how could these party defenders with only two legs outrun these five hundred elite cavalry.
At this moment, Li Bing was standing in front of Wang Yang and Zhi Keshi dejectedly. And Liang Shou explained by his side, this General Li is also a bachelor, anyway, it is impossible to violate, and he said that he lost such an important pass as Qin's camel mouth.
Even if he can escape back to Western Xia, what awaits him is to be the ghost of the sword, it is better to fight with these Song troops, and it is also a good choice to be a rich man in the Song Realm in the future.
"Leave two thousand cavalry to guard the prisoners of war, and then send someone to the south, to report to the old general, let's continue to hurry, by the way, General Li, since you are guarding the gateway to Yanzhou, you must be familiar with the road to Yanzhou, why don't you go to Yanzhou with General Liang as a companion?"
"My lord commanded, Li should obey his own orders, but Li really doesn't know the situation in Yanzhou." Li Bing nodded with a wry smile, and then hurriedly stated.
The army left 1,500 horsemen to guard the prisoners of war in those passes, and 500 elite horsemen were sweeping away those who escaped, and the remaining 18,000 horsemen passed through the Qin camel's mouth, and then under the leadership of Li Bing, they galloped all the way north.
When he arrived in the south of Yanzhou City, which was forty miles away from Qin's camel mouth, he was already a friend of Chouyin. Between heaven and earth, it is still pitch black, and the bright moon that was originally still hanging high in the sky has fallen in the west.
"Finally caught up with the ......" Zhi Keshi took a breath of air and patted the mount on his body, and his beloved horse's body was already covered with wet sweat.
Wang Yang took off the helmet on his head and wiped a handful of stinky sweat, even if it was winter, running down for more than 100 miles really made people tired enough, fortunately it was winter, if it was summer, I was afraid that it would be strange if I didn't run and get dehydrated.
"Now our biggest question is, how to get in, or do we follow the old way?" Zhi Keshi touched the short beard of his chin and asked Wang Yang.
"Liang Shou, do you have any suggestions?" Wang Yang narrowed his eyes, looked at the sparkling fires above the city, and then set his eyes on Liang Shou beside him.
"The two adults, according to Liang's opinion, finally knocked on the door from the west with hundreds of dead soldiers, pretending to be a rout, as long as they can take the opportunity to attack the West Gate, as long as they can control the West Gate, welcome the elite of the Great Song Dynasty into the city, and take Yanzhou, where the army is empty, such as turning over the shopkeeper."
