Outside Guguan, a group of nearly a thousand people, dressed in extremely tattered clothes, was struggling to climb up the gentle slope, although they had exhausted their strength to feed, but after a long period of hunger, even the strong men had no strength, let alone the women who were mixed in it.

This is the foothills, and the road is fairly flat and not steep, but they still take one step at a time, as if they have reached the summit of Mount Everest.

The strong men with a little more strength grabbed the advantageous position in front early, but behind them was the place where the crowd was most concentrated......

The two young women, whose expressions were a little sluggish, and a few strands of long hair stained the dirt on their faces, looked a little gloomy, perhaps unable to squeeze the many strong men, fell at the back of the line at this time, and were panting against the pine trees beside the road.

"Hurry up, the officers and soldiers are coming!"

"I ...... I couldn't walk anymore, and I was hungry for two days......"

"Hey...... What about your man? Don't you spoil you very much on weekdays? ”

He ...... There is no shadow this morning......"

"They're all gone, if the officers and soldiers catch up......"

"Don't say it, save some strength, let's go quickly, it is said that as long as we see Guancheng, we will be safe!"

……

The two of them supported each other, and every step they took, they made a heavy gasping sound, but after three steps, they had to stop and rest for a while, and they were getting farther and farther away from the team in front of them, and if they continued like this, it might not take half an hour, and they would not see the shadow of their predecessors.

"The officers and soldiers are coming, run ......"

I don't know who shouted, the crowd was suddenly chaotic, and some strong men obviously had waist knives pinned to their bodies, but they threw the waist knives, and no one stayed to break the back at all.

The two women who fell behind were suddenly panicked, and their eyes were full of fear.

"Don't run, wait for us ......"

"Don't shout, they won't stay," her companion grabbed her wrist, "and now I'm on my own!" ”

I don't know where the strength came from, the two held hands and rushed forward.

But the speed of the officers and soldiers was faster, and the sound of hurried footsteps almost formed a burst of thunder in the valley, which shook every fugitive.

What is more worrying than the sound of footsteps is the shouts of officers and soldiers.

"Chase, they can't run!"

"There are so many heads ahead, we're going to get rich!"

"Haha, and these two little beauties, it's Lao Tzu's turn today, you just want it, and you have to wait for Lao Tzu to use it!"

……

The two women who fell at the back of the team suddenly turned earthy, listening to the voice, the officers and soldiers were already a mile away, could it really be ...... this time Although they were much faster than at the beginning, their feet were too small to catch up with the pace of the men in front of them.

Sweat ran down their cheeks, sliding downward, and the two women had no time to wipe their sweat, and in their minds, there was only one thought: fast, fast, fast, no matter how fast, these brutes must not be caught!

The gate was just ahead, and they had already seen the gate to the north!

Suddenly, the woman on the left stepped on a pumice stone, slipped under her feet, fell down, and rolled several steps away, but was blocked by a pine tree, and then stopped the downward trend.

"Hurry up, the officers and soldiers are near!" Although her companion was anxious, he did not dare to turn back to help her, and if he squatted down, he might not be able to get up again.

"Leave me alone, you can go!" The woman who had fallen struggled a few times, trying to get out of the pine tree and roll down the mountain, perhaps leaving the road and not having to work so hard again......

But her body was stuck in the pine tree, and she was injured and weak, unable to move at all, she slowly closed her eyes, and two lines of tears fell silently on the grass......

She suddenly felt her body tighten, she had been picked up from under her armpits, no need to ask, it must be those beast officers and soldiers, just now it was a mile away, how did they come so quickly? Before she could open her eyes, her hands were already grabbed back, touched the skin, pulled hard, and shouted: "You also have a mother and sisters in your family, why did you do such a beastly thing?" ”

"Don't be afraid, eldest sister, I'm not an officer or soldier!" The big strong hands had already let her go, and held her arms again, and only left when she stood firm, "Sister, can you still run?" ”

"Ah......" She opened her eyes and saw a man in a strange costume standing in front of her, sure enough, he was not an officer and soldier, an officer and soldier would not be so weak, seeing the blood marks on his face that he had pulled out, she couldn't help it, "This ...... Does it still hurt? She reached out to touch it, but stopped before it could touch her skin.

The man stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Don't worry about this, run, big sister, the officers and soldiers are coming!" ”

Hearing that the officers and soldiers were coming, the woman suddenly became nervous, and she didn't care about the man in front of her, so she immediately opened her feet and rushed forward.

Hundreds of Ming troops, along the mountain road, are rapidly pursuing, in their eyes, these thieves in front, even with hunger, have almost collapsed, as long as they work harder, they can kill all these thieves, although the thieves will not have much oil and water on their bodies, but their heads, but in exchange for silver.

There are also many women among the thieves, as long as they catch up, they are their own, and it is not in vain that they run behind the thieves for a month.

The prey was in front of them, and as soon as they turned the col in front of them, the eyes of the officers and men immediately turned blood-red, and they brandished their swords and spears and pounced on the thieves.

Something is wrong.

The officers and soldiers who rushed to the front found that the thieves had actually entered the gate in front, could it be that the solid pass had been lost to the hands of the thieves?

If the solid pass has been lost, then there must be accomplices of the thieves in the pass, they are only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, I don't know if they can deal with the thieves, although the thieves have no combat effectiveness, and there are a large number of old women and children dragged down, but they can't stand the crowd.

Moreover, Guguan guards the Guanshan pass, as long as a small number of strong men, you can block the road, no matter how many officers and soldiers, it is difficult to launch a large-scale offensive.

The officers and men in front stopped, but the officers and men behind did not know it, and they were still rushing forward, huddled together for a while.

"Hurry up and report to your lordship!"

Finally, a soldier reacted, hurriedly pushed away his companions, ran back, and found Wang Yongxiang, "My lord, it's not good, the thieves have entered the solid pass!" ”

"Guguan?" Wang Yongxiang suddenly frowned, "Guguan has long been lost?" No wonder the thieves fled to Guguan with all their might. He stopped and looked ahead, but the ground ahead was higher, and the soldiers blocked his view.

Wang Yongxiang separated the group and came to the front of the group, but the situation was more serious than the soldier had complained.

Hundreds of soldiers, lined up in three squads, on the only open ground northeast of Guguan, were ready.

"Who are they, aren't they officers and soldiers?"

"When was Guguan seized by thieves? Why hasn't there been any news? ”

"Hey, why don't they have armor, but are wearing such weird costumes?"

……

Wang Yongxiang didn't bother with the discussion of the soldiers, he was staring at the strange army in front of him, with a color of tea and green clothing, a color of firearms, and a neat queue, even in front of the officers and soldiers, everyone was not moving.

This is definitely not the Ming army, the Ming army does not have such costumes!

Wang Yongxiang's heart "chuckled", whose subordinate is this? But looking at the appearance of the army, it is already more powerful than the official army, how can they have so many firearms?

He raised his head and looked at the Guguan in front of him, but he saw that there were many people in the city, but the number of people was not large.

Fortunately, there were only a few hundred people on the opposite side, and Wang Yongxiang visually estimated that it was only five or six hundred, which was less than the number of officers and soldiers, but they occupied an open area and guarded the passage in front of the Guancheng, and if the officers and soldiers wanted to attack the Guancheng, they must first break through this line of defense.

Just when Wang Yongxiang was entangled, all the thieves, including the two women who ran at the back, had already entered the city through the north gate under the response of the soldiers in the city.

The north gate was closed again, blocking the dreams of the officers and soldiers.

"My lord, the thieves have all entered the city, and the Guguan has obviously been lost!"

Wang Yongxiang nodded with some disappointment, and pointed to the soldiers beside him, "You, go over and ask, whose subordinates they are!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The soldier agreed, and ran out of battle, and shouted to the other side from a distance of one hundred and ten paces, "Well, whose subordinates are you?" Dare to eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and dare to go against the officers and soldiers......"

The wind had already blown his voice through, but the other side seemed to be collectively deaf, ignoring his existence at all.

The soldier, thinking that the other side could not hear clearly, took another dozen steps, continued the same question, and pointed at the soldier opposite, hoping to get their attention.

"Bang!"

The only answer to the soldier was the sound of this gunshot, and the soldier suddenly seemed to be skinned and cramped, and slowly collapsed, and the short knife in his hand "dang chang" sounded, hitting the mountain rock, making a clear metal collision sound.

Wang Yongxiang saw it in his eyes, and immediately became angry, and he kindly reminded him, but the gang of thieves on the opposite side did not appreciate it, but hundreds of thieves, could they still stop the officers and soldiers?

Since you are looking for death, it is no wonder that Lao Tzu is cruel, and he shouted to his soldiers: "Archers, come forward, first serve this group of thieves who don't know what to do with their bows and arrows!" ”

Among this group of officers and soldiers, there were three or four hundred archers, and when they heard the rumors, they all stood out from the front of the formation and rushed towards the thieves on the opposite side.

However, the range of bows and arrows is limited, and the soldiers of the Ming army lack training, and the range is generally only 40 steps, and those who can reach 50 steps are less than one percent, and they must be close to shoot to have lethality.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

To the surprise of the archers of the Ming army, when they were still a hundred paces away, the thieves on the opposite side began to shoot, and they were about to ridicule, but they found that their bodies were tight, and an unexpected part was already "gurgling" red blood!

"Huh?"

Before they fell to the ground, most of the soldiers could still let out an exclamation, and then a large area fell down, screaming, cursing, and shouting, and the sound was in the ears, making the only open space outside Guguan even more terrifying than the night.

Wang Yongxiang was shocked, which gang of thieves is this, and the range of the fire gun is farther than the bow and arrow? Although he didn't know the exact range, his subordinates didn't shoot the bow and arrow in their hand, it should be fifty steps away, could it be that the range of the Ming Dynasty's fire gun can already exceed the bow and arrow?

Is it the legendary Pur Gun?

Wang Yongxiang was shocked, and forgot to give the order to retreat to the army for a while, and when he woke up, there was no need to issue it, the three or four hundred archers who had just gone out of the battle had already collectively bowed in front of the thieves, and it was still the kind of five-body throwing to the ground and blurred flesh and blood!

Three or four hundred brothers, this is gone?

Wang Yongxiang's mind was stunned, and his only thought was to quickly leave this terrifying Guguan, "Retreat, retreat!" ”
