In fact, whether it is Nanping Pass or eliminating Luxury Chongming, it is not a difficult thing for Ye Xun, and even Qin Liangyu does not take Luxury Chongming in his eyes.

War has always been a last resort to an end, and Ye Xun's goal was to formally integrate Shuzhong into the imperial court's management system.

And generals like the Qin family, although they are also loyal to the imperial court, but many times, they will still put the interests of the family in front, this is a custom that has been passed down by the family for thousands of years, regardless of personal good or bad, with a loyal martyr like Qin Liangyu, it is also not exempt from vulgarity.

Under the leadership of Qin Liangyu, 2,000 officers and soldiers began a tentative attack, and at the same time, Qin Bangping personally led 500 skilled warriors into the dense forest, preparing to cooperate with the frontal attack from the side.

Since it was a tentative attack, it must have been thunder and rain, but the rebels obviously also thought that the officers and soldiers might attack at night, so they turned off the lights and lit several huge bonfires in front of the wall, and it was impossible to get close unnoticed.

As Ye Xun observed during the day, the officers and soldiers did not get close to the wall, and the arrows rained down when they closed it, because it was condescending, and occasionally a few round stones were thrown on the wall, but the lethality of these stones was greater than that of bows and arrows, because the stones would roll along the ramp, and under the action of inertia, the force would become greater and greater, and the officers and soldiers would be either killed or injured, which can be said to be a very headache and annoying thing.

After tossing in the middle of the night, Qin Liangyu ordered the troops to be withdrawn, but fortunately, because the soldiers were not urged to rush forward, the damage was not large, only a dozen people were killed and wounded.

Standing in the night watching the battle, Ye Xun also had a better understanding of the defense of the rebels, and if Qin Bangping made no progress, he was ready to let his guards go.

The range of the Guards' muskets was far from being comparable to that of bows and arrows, and as long as the bows and arrows at the head of the city were suppressed, the officers and soldiers behind the Guards could take advantage of the situation.

Of course, these are just Ye Xun's thoughts, and he hasn't had time to tell Qin Liangyu yet.

Qin Liangyu returned to his big tent, and his guards immediately sent a letter.

Looking at this unsigned letter, Qin Liangyu frowned, she didn't like this kind of sneaky behavior the most.

opened the letter and glanced at it a few times, but his brows furrowed even deeper, and after a while, he raised his voice and said, "Come on, go and call Qin Minping over."

There was not much time, Qin Minping walked in quickly, according to Qin Liangyu's military order, no one was allowed to remove their armor tonight, because once Qin Bangping's side succeeded, this side would immediately wave his army and take Nanping Pass in one fell swoop.

Seeing his brother come in, Qin Liangyu directly handed over the letter.

Qin Minping subconsciously took the letter and looked at it with the lights on, only glanced at it a few times, and then said in a deep voice: "Eldest sister, where did this letter come from?" ”

"I asked the guards just now, someone shot the letter from outside the camp with an arrow."

"What does the eldest sister mean?"

Qin Minping looked at the old lady a little nervously and asked.

Qin Liangyu looked at his brother, and suddenly smiled: "Are you still afraid that I will murder Qincha?" Besides, we have to have that ability! ”

Qin Minping's face relaxed, and said, "Then let's not hesitate, send this letter to Gonggong Ye!" ”

Qin Liangyu nodded, his face turned pale, and said: "No matter at any time, we are first the imperial court officials, and then our personal honor and disgrace, you tell Gonggong Ye that the Qin family will stand firmly with him."

Qin Minping clenched his fists heavily, then turned around and strode away.

The reason why Qin Liangyu in history has been able to live for centuries is not only because of her bravery, but because she can understand the righteousness and always put the national righteousness at the forefront.

The letter was written by Fei Yongsheng, on the condition of handing over Qiu Chengyun, hoping that the Qin family would not help Ye Xun, and at the same time played a card of affection, after all, they are all from Shuzhong, and they should not turn Yunyun out of their elbows, and finally promised Qin Liangyu that as long as Ye Xun can be driven out of Shuzhong, if he can kill the best, he will be rewarded with the position of the commander of the Sichuan Chengxuan Envoy.

Sichuan Chengxuan envoy Sidu commanded the envoy, which was the highest official position set up by the imperial court in Sichuan, and he was in charge of the troops and the people on the horse, and he was a real feudal official.

Faced with the temptation of such an official position, Qin Liangyu's first thought was, is Shuzhong the king of Shu or the imperial court? Why did he make a wish?

Thinking about this, with Qin Liangyu's personality, he naturally knows how to choose.

After Ye Xun read the letter sent by Qin Minping, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "How about breaking the customs tonight?" ”

Qin Min was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "There is no news from my brother's side, how to break the barrier?" ”

"My people take the lead"

When Ye Xun said this, his face turned pale, and he continued: "Thank you for Sister Ling's deep understanding of righteousness, I can guarantee that Sister Ling's choice will never be wrong."

Hearing that Ye Xun was going to attack Nanping Pass again, Qin Liangyu was also very surprised, but although she had not been in contact with Ye Xun for a long time, she could feel that this little eunuch was not a reckless person.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I gathered all the men and horses and followed Ye Xun's two hundred guards to rush towards Guancheng again.

Ye Xun's 200 guards were in front, and Liu Ping's 1,000 officers and soldiers were behind, and Liu Ping's task was not to cooperate with the attack, but to beat gongs and drums to create momentum, as if he was afraid that the rebels in the gate would not know that the officers and soldiers were coming.

For a moment, the noisy sound of gongs and drums once again shattered the silence of the night.

Two hundred guards rode slowly to the pass, and stopped when they were within range of their bows and arrows, and one hundred guards dismounted and aimed their guns, while the other hundred guards prepared for an assault.

The noisy sound of gongs and drums woke up the rebels on the pass, and they were standing densely on the wall at this time preparing for a counterattack.

But what the rebels didn't expect was that not only did the officers and soldiers not launch a large-scale attack, but also stopped at the range of bows and arrows.

Although there are muskets in the Ming army, they are not widely used, and like these latest muskets in the Liaodong army, many Ming troops have never even heard of them, let alone these rabble rebels.

Condescendingly watching more than 100 officers and soldiers carrying strange things, many rebels even laughed loudly.

Just now, they have already taught the officers and men a lesson with practical actions, so they do not believe that the officers and men will be able to fight at all.

"Smack, smack..."

In the midst of laughter, the muskets were fired, and in the dense sound of popping beans, the rebels on the wall screamed and fell down.

Not to mention the rebels, even Qin Liangyu and other generals who were watching the battle in the rear were dumbfounded, no one expected that Ye Xun's firearms would be so sharp.

The rebels on the wall were so dense that they didn't need to aim too much, and at the sound of muskets, the rebels fell in pieces like wheat harvesting, and the rest shouted and looked around for a place to hide.

At this time, another hundred guards who were still on their horses urged their horses forward, and the distance of several hundred paces, although there was a slight slope, did not take much time for the cavalry.

When the rebels on the wall heard the sound of horses' hooves and wanted to stand up and shoot arrows or throw stones, the guards who were still holding their guns at the wall were immediately shot down.

It was too late, it was too fast, and a hundred iron horsemen approached the city wall in a blink of an eye, and then small black balls emitting white smoke flew towards the city.

"Boom..."

Soon, the sound of explosions accompanied by screams rang out one after another on the wall.

Almost at the same time, there was a sudden earth-shattering shout of killing in the pass...
