The desolate horn sounded, and the Qing soldiers at Lengshui Pass touched their weapons, even the small soldiers knew that the Ming army would not give them much time to rest.

Sun Shouting held a spear, personally supervised the battle, closed the arrows like rain, and if he was not careful, he would be hit by the arrow. But he had no other way, Wu Sangui was the head of the Liaodong Army, even if it was for the sake of his family, he would not dare to disobey any orders of Wu Sangui. Nearly a hundred years of hard fighting have made Liaodong different from all other places, and it has its own system and its own rules.

Hou Xuanyan closed his eyes and waited silently, while Xia Wanchun beside him stood on a high place, staring at Lengshuiguan motionlessly.

This is not a Xiongguan, the simple city wall can not withstand a few shells at all, but the Shu Road is rugged, on both sides are steep cliffs, in case the artillery fire shatters the Lengshui Pass, it has become a more difficult barrier to break.

Sun Shouting always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and these Ming army attacks no longer had the sharpness they had at the beginning. He had fought against these people, and although not many times, their bravery had already left a deep impression on Sun Shouting. And slowly, the attack of the Ming army under the pass gradually slowed down.

Although I guessed my head, I couldn't think of why, but for such a good time, I was greatly relieved to guard the pass.

Finally, from the cliff wall behind Lengshui Pass, a group of ghostly warriors came down one after another. The Qing soldiers in the pass were changed to rest, and their blades were thrown on the ground, panting for breath to rest. These strange soldiers descended from the sky and soon caused panic, and many people were still in terror, and their heads were cut off by the hook and sickle.

Peng Zhuze stopped the slaughter of his subordinates and ordered loudly: "Don't kill, rush to the gate, and open the door is considered the first achievement." ”

The native soldiers were in good spirits, howling and rushing towards the gate, and the Qing soldiers finally reacted, this was not a group of mountain ghosts, but the Ming army outside the gate.

The Qing soldiers fought back, but they were either disabled or tired, and their combat strength was less than one-tenth of that of peacetime. It was simply impossible to resist the native soldiers who were in formation and pushed forward.

Beside Sun Shouting, a small soldier ran over in a panic and said loudly: "General, a large number of Ming troops have appeared behind us and are killing people. ”

His crying shout was so loud that the soldiers and horses around Sun Shouting heard it. Slowly, panic permeated the entire mountain pass, Sun Shouting didn't care about reprimanding the little soldiers, turned around and was about to go down with the people, and asked as he walked, "How many of them are there?" ”

The soldier cried: "It's too dark to be seen, and the ones who jumped off the cliff are too many to count." ”

Sun Shouting's figure was obvious, and the people next to him also knew that the general trend had gone.

The cold water pass is dangerous, and there is only one reason for going to the pass, and it is impossible to go down on a large scale in a hurry. Peng Zhuze led his two thousand native soldiers and quickly reached the mountain gate. The first native soldier had a happy face, and he drew his sword to slash and close the door, and the first skill was in front of him. The Qing soldier who trembled on the ground behind him bent his bow and arrows, and the cold arrow suddenly hit him, hitting him in the shoulder, and the little soldier fell to the ground with a wail.

His companions were unmoved, and stabbed to death the Qing soldiers guarding the gate, and the Ming army, who was fighting bloodily outside, suddenly found that the gate was wide open, and they were overjoyed.

At dawn, Hou Xuanyan finally crossed the Lengshui Pass, leaving behind nearly 10,000 corpses.

The Qing soldiers guarding the pass were also wiped out, and the soldiers who were originally in Jingxiang and Liaodong retreated without a fight, and the soldiers from Xia Wanchun to the following looked down on them a little. But this time, Sun Shouting led the Qing soldiers and fought to the death until the last moment, even if the door was closed, they had no way to live, and they still gathered together to fight to the death.

Xia Wanchun's face was solemn, he looked at Sun Shouting's corpse at his feet, and said, "This Qing general has some backbone. ”

Hou Xuanyan's face was full of disgust, and he spat on Sun Shouting's corpse and scolded: "Backbone? How can you be a traitor if you have backbone. This dog thief is very servile, and Lao Tzu has killed so many brothers, write down his name for me, and one day when he hits Liaodong, he must be killed. ”

Xia Wanchun's face turned red and asked, "Governor, after the village and town in front, it is Ba County." ”

Ba County was originally a big city that included the hinterland of Chongqing, and during the Chenghua period, the territory west of Jinyun Mountain was demarcated and Bishan County was replaced. However, it still includes part of today's Jiangbei, Yubei, Beibei, and Bishan. To take Ba County is to take Chongqing Mansion.

It is foreseeable that the Qing soldiers who are alone in the depths will not dare to stalemate with themselves, and the decisive battle should be in Ba County.

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "Let's go to Mudong Town in front, take a short rest, recuperate, and march to Ba County tomorrow." ”

The further he went, the heavier the Ming army's mood became. These battle-hardened men couldn't help but redden their eyes when they looked at the tragic image of the roadside villages.

Along the road, there is a shelf a few steps away, which is full of human heads. The roadside was full of disheveled female corpses, and there were many female corpses, holding babies in their arms, and their lower clothes were torn, so that people could know at a glance what happened to her before her death.

Since ancient times, the people of Sichuan have a strong character, so whenever there is a change of dynasty, Bashu is often slaughtered. It is because the resistance here is so fierce that it tends to anger the strong conquerors. Historically, the criminal department of the Qing Dynasty revealed the incident to Chen Tiaoyuan, and said to the Qing court that the Qing army generals in Sichuan killed innocents indiscriminately, either slaughtering the city, or killing all the men. When his recital reached Beijing, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, because the order to slaughter men and keep women was given by Dolgon and Xiaozhuang.

But the strange thing is that even if the ten rooms and nine empty rooms that were killed in Shuzhong have migrated a group of people from other provinces. In a few decades, these people will also become authentic Sichuan people.

What's even more strange is that every time there is a national disaster, the Sichuan soldiers will never unite while killing the enemy. The warlords of Shuzhong fought separately, and even when they were fighting with Wu Sangui, they fought against each other. This time, it was for the sake of Chengdu, so that the Qing soldiers could take advantage of the situation.

Hou Xuan was used to seeing the evil deeds of the Qing soldiers, and he still couldn't bear the tragic scenes along the way. Looking at the viciousness of the slaughter of the city, there is no time that can compare to this one.

The Ming army spontaneously covered up the corpse, stopping and stopping along the way to Mudong Town.

In front of the town gate, a corpse was attached to the city gate, and when I got closer, the corpse of a middle-aged man was nailed to the city gate with a wooden nail as thick as a finger on the calf of his palm. On the top of his head, his hair hung down, and his half-white hair was tied with an official seal.

Xia Wanchun gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Commander, it's the county order here." ”

Hou Xuanyan took off the official seal, straightened his hair, coiled it up, took off his turban, and put it on for him.

Xia Wanchun then understood why the commander was so disgusted with the Lengshui guard, and thought that he admired him a little just now, and couldn't help but feel remorseful.

Some hatred can only be returned with blood; Some hatred can only be reciprocated with a tooth for a tooth.

Hou Xuanyan's calm voice came, breaking Xia Wanchun's deep thought: "Today, I will repair in the town, wait for the rear army, bring back the wounded soldiers, and bring grain and grass." ”
