After Wu Xiang listened, he was really pleased, this time his heart could be put in his stomach, Daming he couldn't count on it, now he can only count on Dazhong, and the Dazhong Army under the command of Dazhong Emperor Xiao Tianjian, put all their energy in the Shanhaiguan area, it can be seen that they attach importance to Jiannu, as long as they can come to the Dazhong Army, then the strength of the Dazhong Army, really not scared of these Jiannu Army, he also saw that the strength of the Dazhong Army is real, there is one counted, and there are few auxiliaries, Basically, they are all elite soldiers who can go into battle in armor, although the strength of the troops on the surface is weaker than that of Jiannu, but in terms of the strength of the soldiers alone, if they are pulled here by the whole army, they are only stronger than Jiannu, and he can see that the Dazhong Army, as a new force, is more united than the Jiannu side, it can be said that the top and bottom are united, and the military order is like a mountain, and the Dazhong soldiers will all go into battle bravely, so the prospects of this battle are very bright for him.

Therefore, Wu Xiang thanked him again and again, saying that he was very relieved, and now that he was guarding Shanhaiguan, he was about to get rid of the Dazhong Army, and someone came with news while talking, saying that Yan Chongxi, the marshal of the Dazhong Left Route Army, and Lu Xiangsheng, the superintendent of the army, had led the rest of the army, crossed the Shihe, and could arrive at Shanhaiguan immediately.

So after Wu Xiang and Wang Chengping made a little arrangement for their subordinates, they immediately went out of the camp overnight to meet Yan Chongxi and Lu Xiangsheng in the direction where they were coming, and soon caught Yan Chongxi and Lu Xiangsheng at the pass.

Wu Xiang can be said to have nothing to say about the marching speed of the large Chinese army, yesterday they were still stationed in Funingwei, today just one day, they drove more than 100 miles, the whole army rushed to Shanhaiguan, it can be seen that the large Chinese army is known as the iron leg, it is really not blown, and they came this time, not to come lightly, but including all the baggage and heavy artillery vehicles in the army, all rushed here with the army, and have perfect and comprehensive combat effectiveness, which is not something that the general army can do, basically the speed of infantry and baggage, Having caught up with the marching speed of the cavalry of the Ming army, Wu Xiang could not help but express his admiration.

Yan Chongxi and Lu Xiangsheng also learned that Wu Xiang personally greeted him, so they immediately greeted Wu Xiang politely, and the two sides naturally exchanged pleasantries, but after all, the military situation was urgent, and they didn't talk too much nonsense, so they immediately turned the conversation to the matter of changing the guard at the moment.

According to Feng Weihan's idea to Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang did not publicly announce the surrender of the Dazhong Army, but in the name of being defeated by the Dazhong Army, he abandoned part of the Guancheng in the Shanhaiguan area and was captured by the Dazhong Army!

So after today's battle, Wu Xiang sent a messenger to rush to the Beijing Division to inform the Ming Dynasty that he had encountered the attack of the Jiannu army and the Xingtian thief army in Shanhaiguan, which made him suffer from the enemy in the abdomen and back, and under the force of the battle, he was defeated by the Xingtian thief army, and part of the Shanhaiguan pass and the city wall were occupied by the Xingtian thief, but he also led the troops to control the main city of Shanhaiguan, and continued to resist the Jiannu army and the Xingtian thief army, and swore that he would defend Shanhaiguan to the death, no matter who it was. He will not surrender, in short, he will be loyal to the Ming court, please rest assured that Zhu Youzhen of Ming Sizong.

These words are all things on the surface, as for whether Zhu Youzhen believes it or not, it is up to him, even if there is a Jinyi Guard's arrest to report the matter, but Wu Xiang and the Ming army under his command have not changed their banners, and they are still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, this is also an inexhaustible lawsuit, Zhu Youzhen did not dare to believe the Jinyi Guard's arrest, so he arrested and killed Wu Xiang's family in the Beijing Division, at most, it was just to strengthen the monitoring of them.

Even Zhou Yuji, who had rushed to Xifengkou to garrison, also listened to Lu Xiangsheng's words and sent someone to report to the imperial court, saying that the Xingtian Army raided Shanhaiguan and he could not defeat it, but Wu Xiang took the overall situation as the priority, and in order to prevent the Jiannu army from entering the customs, he sent him to lead the "remnants" to Xifengkou to deploy defenses, so as to prove that Wu Xiang was not sentenced to the Heavenly Army.

Therefore, Wu Xiang does not have to worry about the safety of his family in the Beijing Division for the time being, not to mention that Feng Weihan left Shanhaiguan today after arranging the affairs here, and rushed back to the Beijing Division again to arrange the secret protection of the Wu family's family, and there are also some family members of the Ming army generals under Wu Xiang, who are also in the Beijing Division, Feng Weihan will also arrange people to protect them, and strive to secretly move their families out of the Beijing Division in advance to ensure their safety before the Dazhong Army arrives in the Beijing Division.

Therefore, Wu Xiang and the generals under his command can rest assured at this time, and go all out to cooperate with the Dazhong Army to fight the battle of Shanhaiguan.

For the change of defense, Wu Xiang and Yan Chongxi discussed, the Ming army's combat strength is limited, this is something that both sides have a common understanding, although the Ming generals are not convinced, but in their hearts they still have to admit that they really do not have the big army to fight, so Wu Xiang agreed, their Ming army in Shanhaiguan will concentrate on the main city of Shanhaiguan and Dongluo City and the three cities of the north wing of the city, with heavy troops to defend these three places, at the same time some officers and soldiers listen to Yan Chongxi's dispatch, cooperate with the big middle army, act as the auxiliary of the big middle army, The side wall west of the main city of Shanhaiguan was also handed over to the Dazhong Army for defense, including the southern wing city and Xiluo city.

With their current strength, although they have been strengthened by 15,000 generals of the Dazhong Army, it is not enough to go out of the pass and fight with the Jiannu army, today's counterattack war can no longer be fought, after the Jiannu army has suffered a big loss, it will definitely not suffer such a loss again, so their main energy is to defend here first, wait for the arrival of the middle route army and the right route army, and then fight with the Jiannu army, and send the Jiannu army back to Liaodong in one fell swoop.

At this time, although it was already the middle of the night, but the news that the Dazhong Army and the Daming Mountain Customs defenders had achieved a great victory in the pass today still spread far and wide, and immediately spread all over the Shanhai Pass.

Therefore, the people and even the squires who did not flee in the area near Shanhaiguan in the customs were all cheered and cheered, and some squires began to arrange people overnight to drive out the pigs and sheep in the house, and then they brought out some grain, filled with a few jars of wine, and rushed to the Shanhaiguan area at dawn to congratulate the Ming army, although they were a little worried that the Dazhong army would not come here, follow the example of other places, and rob them of these rich people, but now they also know that the state affairs are irreversible, and the Ming Dynasty is overNow, if the Dazhong Army blocks the construction of slaves, then they will have to make a living under the rule of the Dazhong Dynasty in the future, so it is better to go to the Dazhong Army first, so they, the squires, have also prepared the same congratulatory gift for the Dazhong Army.

As for the common people, it's even better to say, they don't care who is in charge of the world! In short, they are most afraid of Jiannu Tartar entering the customs, they were afraid before, they were hiding from the Ming defenders, and they did not dare to come to help the war, but now they know that the Dazhong Army has also joined the war group, and followed the Ming Army to fight the Tartars, so they have enough confidence, so they have been organized by the squires, carrying the guys, and they have also rushed to Shanhaiguan, planning to help the Ming army or the Dazhong Army, they can't kill the enemy, at least there is no problem with carrying something, in order to block the Tatars from entering the customs, the people are sparing no effort.

After a whole day's rapid march, although the soldiers and generals of the left route army were very tired, Yan Chongxi took into account the urgency of the military situation, and still ordered to start changing guards with the defenders of the Ming army that night.

Many Ming troops tore off the side wall and withdrew from the enemy building, and handed over the location of the defense to the Dazhong Army, and they began to turn to the main city of Shanhaiguan and Dongluo City in large numbers to garrison, part of the Ming army was ordered to stay, as an auxiliary soldier of the Dazhong Army, to help the Dazhong Army guard the pass, this time the staff officers of the Left Route Army can be busy with all fours, with the implementation of the staff system, the commanders of the armies found a benefit, that is, with these staff officers, they can use a lot less brains, but also spend a lot less effort, Many things were handed over to the staff officers of these staff departments to consider and arrange, and they only needed to make decisions on the various suggestions put forward by the staff officers, which made them both less wrong and lazy, so why not do it, so they were immediately ordered to set up a staff department under their respective hands, and Xiao Tianjian sent a group of staff officers, and selected a large number of officers with staff potential from among the armies, and set up a staff branch among the armies, and the staff officers were equipped with a minimum of battalion-level units. In the next step, Xiao Tianjian plans to directly assign staff officers even to the company level to improve the staff officer system.

So like this, Yan Chongxi basically didn't have to worry about it, the staff officers came up with a plan and the candidates for the guards everywhere, Yan Chongxi only needed to think and adjust according to their plan, and then nodded and ordered the execution, so Yan Chongxi and the main generals were not the busiest people, but the staff officers were busy one by one, and their heels hit the back of the head, which made Lu Xiangsheng sympathize with these staff officers.

Different from the orderly of the Dazhong Army is the Ming army, because the Ming army has no staff officers at all, so things basically rely on Wu Xiang and his subordinate generals to mobilize people and horses to give orders, this night Wu Xiang and the Ming army generals are all busy with fart, but even so, compared with the orderly defense of the Dazhong army, their disarming action is a mess, chaotic like a mess.

Many officers and men did not know what they should do and where they should report after changing their guards, and as a result, they were like a swarm of headless flies running into the border areas, creating a miasma of smoke and smoke, which made many large and medium-sized soldiers and generals shake their heads and sympathize with them.
