Cao Bianjiao stood proudly under the battle flag, he was stained with blood, looking around at the heroic battlefield, his heroic face, there was no trace of waves, as if this victory was too insignificant, not worthy of joy at all, although the Qing army in the city of Dezhou was completely annihilated, but his losses were not small, this was a victory in exchange for countless lives, he was not in the mood to be happy.

Tongguan, Tongguan garrison deputy general Chen Fu is standing at the head of the city, enduring the scorching sun, patrolling the city on the head of the city, fortunately the Ming army Liu Wenxiu's department has retreated three days ago, after months of fierce battles, they are finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Fu wiped his forehead hard, sweat flow, the sun is too poisonous, the iron armor on the body is hot, the cool breeze in the mountains blows, it is slightly better.

Chen Fu is a native of Yulin, Shaanxi, after the Qing army initially decided Shaanxi, Chen Fu was recruited into the army with martial arts, and he has been following the general soldier Liu Fangming, he wants to make meritorious contributions, and now Liu Fangming has asked for merit for him in the previous defensive battle, but the reward has not yet come down, and it feels beautiful when you think about it. There is no way to come out to inspect on such a hot day, now the entire Central Plains is in chaos, the rebel armies are surging all over the country, and the Ming Army's Northern Expedition is in full swing, Tongguan as the gateway to Shaanxi, must not be lost.

On the official road outside the pass, under the leadership of Daniel Zhang, Shen Zhixiang, and Tian Jianxiu, more than 2,000 war horses were riding horses and galloping, but a few miles away, Xu Yu came to Tongguan Pass, and Chen Fujian, the guard of the pass, had a group of cavalry rushing over, and he also hurriedly ordered to prepare for battle, when this cavalry approached the city, he could see clearly, this cavalry, whether it was armor or banner, was his own attire, the number was almost 3,000, and many of them were untidy, it seemed that they had suffered a defeat and fled.

Chen Fu was also very cautious, and shouted, "Stop coming"!

Before Tian Jianxiu and the others could answer, a rain of arrows shot down, stopped their steps, looked up at the dense guards on the city tower and a military general gathered in the center, Daniel Zhang also asked, "Who is the main general of Guanshang, come out to answer?" ”

"Fuck your uncle, it's Lao Tzu who is asking you, report your name quickly, how can you see the main general, I am the deputy general of the guard, tell me what you have first." Chen Fu, who was closed, was a rough man, and he was scolding and scolding at the moment.

"Bastard, how can you insult my Daqing Iron Horse, let your lord come quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around!"

At this time, Liu Fangming was also surrounded by the guards and came to the pass, and when he heard the drums of the preparation just now, he hurriedly came in armor, in case Liu Wenxiu killed a horse pistol, and at that moment Liu Fangming also gasped and asked Chen Fudao, "Who is under the pass?" ”

"Back to the general, I don't know, I asked the other party and didn't say." Chen Fu also replied immediately.

"Who's going to shut it down?" Liu Fangming also asked, to find out the identity of the other party, Liu Fangming is also old and strong, and his voice is loud, and he arrives in the city.

The chaotic cavalry soon quieted down, and a road was automatically separated in front of the city gate, only to see a few horsemen walking through the soldiers to a short distance from the city, and one of them shouted: "You are the chief general of Tongguan, you are really presumptuous, this is Shangshan Belle Ye, you are so rude that you refuse to enter the pass." ”

Liu Fangming was shocked when he heard this, in fact, he didn't know Shang Shan, but the title of Baylor made him dare not despise it, under the prince of the Qing Dynasty is Baylor, which is equivalent to the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, very prominent, and people who are not relatives and nobles are not allowed to do this, and Liu Fangming also hurriedly apologized: "Lord Baylor forgives the sin, Tongguan is the gateway to Shaanxi, the matter is very important, the slave does not dare to be careless, dare to ask Lord Baylor what evidence?" ”

"Put down the hanging basket, Ben Belle has the imperial jade plate, which can prove his identity." A man wearing a Qing army cotton armor stepped forward and said to Liu Fangming at the moment.

Liu Fangming also ordered someone to put down the hanging basket, and soon the other party stepped forward to put an object in the hanging basket, Liu Fangming picked it up and read it, and he didn't know much, it was all full of text, but seeing this thing is indeed very delicate and beautiful, it is not something that ordinary people can have, and he no longer doubts anything.

"General, don't be careless, what if the enemy army cheats, I think it's better to let them unarm first, just in case!" Adjutant General Chen Fu said.

"Slap ......" A loud slap fell on Chen Fu's face, leaving a deep red mark, Chen Fu didn't react for a while, he was dizzy by the slap, covering his aching cheeks and glaring at Liu Fangming.

"Bastard, is it something we can offend, untie Lord Belle's weapon, what should I do if Lord Belle settles accounts afterwards, do you want to frame Ben General?" Liu Fangming also reprimanded angrily, he didn't understand what Chen Fu meant, but if he really did it, when the time came, Shangshan Baylor would find someone to get angry, who would this thunder be, it was him Liu Fangming, he suspected that Chen Fu deliberately said this in order to replace himself, so he gave him a trick.

"The whole army is on guard, and we must not relax" Liu Fangming ordered, and those soldiers who had already relaxed became vigilant again. Liu Fangming is also an old qualification, well-informed, as a civil official, pretending to be an enemy and earning a city has also seen a lot. What Chen Fu said was not advisable, but he did not completely relax without being completely sure of the truth.

"Speed switch, or Ben Belle won't spare you!"

Liu Fangming didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and shouted urgently: "Quick, don't open the city gate quickly and greet Lord Belle." Such an order is equivalent to the lifting of combat readiness, and the mood of the soldiers suddenly relaxed.

As the sturdy and heavy city gate of Tongguan slowly opened, those troops outside the city wearing costumes full of eight banners also shouted into the city, and rushed to the market as if they had entered Tongguan.

The dusty cavalry, with a stirring mood, passed through the huge doorway, and the guards who opened the door even bowed slightly to salute them and welcome them into the city.

"The last general is Liu Fangming, the general of Tongguan, who has seen Lord Baylor...... "Liu Fangming also came to the city to meet Shangshan Baylor, and at the same time asked them how they got under Tongguan, which was the most curious and puzzled thing in his heart.

"General Liu, excuse me......" Liu Fangming also stood up when he heard this, and was just about to ask about the following matters, but the Shangshan Baylor in front of him suddenly trembled, and a sharp and unparalleled blade slashed through Liu Fangming's neck lightly. Liu Fangming's body shook, and he fell to the ground on his back facing the sky, his throat had been cut, and blood gushed out like water from a broken embankment.

The three thousand cavalrymen who "killed the ......", like a wolf tearing off the sheepskin, were still embarrassed just now, and after hearing this shout of killing, they immediately showed a hideous fierce eye, and slaughtered those unsuspecting Qing soldiers.

At this moment, at the end of the avenue in the east of the city, a winding black line is looking at Tongguan, and the dust is flying like fog in the sky above the black and thin surroundings.
