After capturing the Revolving Gate Pass, the main force of the Suzhou Xiang Army directly abandoned the Mengjin Pass and transferred to the Revolving Gate Pass, and one after another Suzhou Xiang Army Guards entered the suburbs of Beijing from the Revolving Gate Pass.

On the imperial court, after the loss of the Revolving Gate Pass, most of the troops that arranged the remaining seven passes of Canglong Eight Pass were recalled to Canglong City, especially the troops gathered in Mengjin Pass, and hundreds of thousands of them were transferred back to Canglong City at once.

Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, was originally going to leave a guard at the Revolving Gate Pass to ensure the safety of its rear road, and the more than one million troops of the other thirteen guards all entered the Beijing suburbs north of the Revolving Gate Pass, and then rushed directly to the outside of Canglong City to launch an attack on Canglong City, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, but when the Suzhou Xiang Army assembled in the suburbs of Beijing north of the Revolving Gate Pass, there was an unexpected situation.

A force of several thousand people suddenly appeared in the suburbs of Beijing and launched an attack on a guard of the Suzhou Xiang Army, which was led by Wang Ben, Liu Meng, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong with 3,000 Tang Dynasty heavy armor Mo sword soldiers and 3,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Army, this raid on the Suzhou Xiang Army was dominated by 3,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Army's cavalry.

The Suzhou Xiang Army attacked by the Broken Army was the Ninth Guard, which also participated in the onslaught of the Suzhou Xiang Army on Mengjin Pass, and lost nearly 20,000 men in the onslaught for several days.

However, with the addition of auxiliaries, the current strength of the ninth guard of the Suzhou Xiang Army still exceeds 100,000, but these more than 100,000 people have been beaten under the impact of 3,000 Han Dynasty tiger army cavalry, and the tens of thousands of infantry of the ninth guard of the Suzhou Xiang Army cannot stop the impact of 3,000 Han Dynasty tiger army cavalry.

In the establishment of the ninth guard of the Suzhou Xiang Army, there is a battalion of cavalry troops, including 4,000 cavalry and 1,000 horsemen, but the 4,000 cavalry of the Suzhou Xiang Army of this battalion have not yet fought with the 3,000 cavalry of the Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army, and they have encountered the nemesis of 3,000 Tang Dynasty heavy armor Mo sword soldiers, and 4,000 cavalry of the Suzhou Xiang Army were killed in front of the Mo Dao Formation.

In the end, the ninth guard of the Suzhou Xiang Army suffered more than 30,000 casualties in this raid of the captive army, of which at least half of the casualties were caused by trampling on each other in order to avoid the impact of the 3,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben cavalry.

However, 3,000 Tang Dynasty heavy-armored Mo sword soldiers and 3,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben soldiers only lost less than 300 people in this raid, and the battle loss ratio reached a shocking 1:100.

In the mansion of Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the Canglong City Army, Dou Yan asked the hussar general Li Hong and the hussar general He Guangzong with a shocked face: "Is the army sent by Liu Ji to pick up Zhou Qingyao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, really only 6,000 people?" ”

Hussar general Li Hong nodded with a wry smile and said: "There are indeed only 6,000 people, the general who led the troops is called Wang Ben, before he led the troops to attack, he also sent someone to tell me, saying that the broken army is ready to teach the Suzhou rebels a lesson, I didn't care too much at all, I thought that the general named Wang Ben was not self-sufficient, it is likely that the 6,000 broken army will go and never return, I never thought that their 6,000 people defeated the more than 100,000 troops of the Suzhou rebels at once, and tens of thousands of Suzhou rebels were killed, And the loss of the 6,000 people of the Broken Army was less than 300 people! ”

The hussar general He Guangzong sighed and said: "The combat effectiveness of the 6,000-strong army of the Broken Army is too strong, if there are 100,000 such troops, it is enough to defeat the more than one million rebels of the Suzhou Xiang Army!" ”

Dou Yan sighed and said: "It's a pity that the Broken Army is now pinned down in the Western Regions by the coalition forces of the four great powers of the Western Regions, otherwise where can the Suzhou rebels come to the capital!" By the way, how is the condition of Zhou Qingyao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites? ”

The hussar general Li Hong said: "I sent someone to find out, Zhou Shilang's wind and cold have not yet healed, and he should not be able to go to Jue'an County in a short time." ”

Dou Yan pondered for a while and said: "No matter what method is used, you can't let the wind and cold of Zhou Qingyao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, be cured, before defeating the rebels in Suzhou, the troops of this broken army must stay in Canglong City!" ”

Hussar General He Guangzong hesitated at this time and said to Dou Yan: "Captain Dou, the six thousand Broken Army can achieve such great results, on the one hand, it is the strong combat effectiveness of the Broken Army, and on the other hand, it also reflects that the Suzhou rebel army may not be as strong as we imagined, you must know that the Broken Army was only in Qinhuai City, and it wiped out more than one million Red Turban Army, many of which were the elite troops of the Red Turban Army. ”

Dou Yan's brows moved slightly, "What does General He mean?" ”

"Captain Dou, it is better for the imperial court to mobilize a large army and directly face the Suzhou rebels at the Revolving Gate Pass, and it can also prevent Canglong City from being surrounded by Suzhou rebels and cut off the connection between Canglong City and the outside world!" Hussar general He Guangzong said in a deep voice.

Originally, the hussar general He Guangzong advocated gathering all the imperial troops in Canglong City, relying on the walls of Canglong City to resist the Suzhou Xiang army, but the victory of the 6,000 broken army this time made He Guangzong change his mind.

"I think it's okay, we have hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and hundreds of thousands of family troops in our hands, which is enough to block the Suzhou rebels at the revolving gate!" Hussar General Li Hong followed.

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, stroked his beard with his hand, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Take the initiative to meet the Suzhou rebels, the old man has no objection, but you must leave enough defenders in the capital to avoid being attacked by the Suzhou rebels." ”

In the hall of a mansion in the city of Revolving Gate, Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, said to several strategists and many generals under his command with a gloomy face: "It's just too embarrassing! Although the Ninth Guard lost nearly 20,000 people when it stormed Mengjin Pass, it still had more than 100,000 people, and as a result, under the attack of thousands of broken army, it was defeated, and the loss even exceeded 30,000, while the loss of thousands of broken army was very small. ”

At this time, Cao Hui, the commander of the ninth guard of the Suzhou Xiang Army, said ashamedly: "Lord Zhou Mu, this time our ninth guard has indeed disgraced the entire Suzhou Xiang Army, Cao Hui is willing to accept any punishment, even if he cuts off my head, I, Cao Hui, will admit it." ”

Zhang Mingqi snorted coldly and said: "If I cut you, I can get back those tens of thousands of soldiers, and the official can't wait to chop you up with his own hands!" After you go back, you must give the establishment of the Ninth Guard to this official to get it out again, and when you attack Canglong City, you will still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Cao Hui's crimes! ”

When Cao Hui heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you for the grace of Lord Zhou Mu for not killing, our ninth guard is willing to attack Canglong City first!" ”

Zhang Mingqi ignored Cao Hui's initiative to ask for help, Cao Hui's ninth guard has now lost almost 50,000 people, of which the soldiers have to account for ninety percent, it can be said that the ninth guard has lost nearly half, and at this time, let the ninth guard go to the battlefield, it is likely to directly cripple the ninth guard.

You must know that Cao Hui's ninth guard, but it is directly under the command of the general Zhao Lianjin, if the ninth guard is disabled, Zhang Mingqi is not easy to explain to his generals.

Zhang Mingqi then asked the strategist Tang Yan, "Isn't the Broken Army pinned down in the Western Regions?" What's going on with this broken army that suddenly appeared? ”

Strategist Tang Yan shook his head and said, "My lord, we haven't received any information about this, and we don't know why a force of the Broken Army appeared in Canglong City?" ”

Zhang Mingqi frowned and said, "Then we don't know how many troops this broken army has!" ”

Strategist Tang Yan nodded and said: "It's really not clear, but it shouldn't be too much, maybe there are only these thousands of soldiers and horses, if the Broken Army has tens of thousands of troops in Canglong City, our Suzhou Xiang Army will not only have one guard being severely damaged." ”

Zhang Mingqi pondered for a while and said: "Find out the strength of the Broken Army in Canglong City as soon as possible, and postpone the plan to attack Canglong City, the troops of each guard will rest here for a while at the Spiral Gate Pass, anyway, we have captured a large amount of grain and grass in the Spiral Gate Pass City, which is enough for our fourteen Suzhou Xiang guards for a while." ”

After a pause, Zhang Mingqi said again: "There is good news to tell you, now Qiongzhou and Lianzhou have all been recovered by our Suzhou Xiang Army, and our Suzhou Xiang Army in the southeast seven states has accounted for the third, this official has ordered that a part of the backbone will be transferred from the eleven Suzhou Xiang guards left behind, and ten Xiang guards will be formed in Qiongzhou, and ten Xiang guards will also be formed in Lianzhou, once we encounter difficulties here in Canglong City, we can get at least a dozen Wei reinforcements!" ”

The Suzhou Xiangjun had just decided to postpone the attack on Canglong City, and there was a big move on the imperial court's side, and the hussar general He Guangzong and the hussar general Li Hong suddenly took 350,000 forbidden troops, 300,000 family members of various families and 350,000 troops of the 17th Road Ping Rebel Army, a total of one million troops, and came to the north of the revolving gate pass to set up camp.

Wang Ben, Liu Meng, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong led thousands of broken army, also invited to join the imperial army, because of the addition of thousands of elite of the broken army, so that the morale of the entire imperial army is very high, and many masters of Wudang Mountain also came to the revolving gate with this imperial army.

On the opposite side of the imperial army, there is a large camp of the Suzhou Xiang Army that stretches for several miles, and now in the north of the Revolving Gate Pass, there are eight Suzhou Xiang guards, and there are one Suzhou Xiang Army Guards in the Revolving Gate Pass, and there are three Suzhou Xiang Army Guards who did not enter the suburbs of Beijing through the Revolving Gate Pass.

Seeing that the imperial court sent a large army and arrived north of the revolving gate pass, Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang army, immediately gathered the eight Suzhou Xiang military guards north of the revolving gate pass, and fearlessly greeted the imperial army.

Hussar general He Guangzong and hussar general Li Hong saw that the Suzhou Xiang army took the initiative to meet the battle, and their eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of war, and ordered the 350,000 troops of the 17th Road Ping rebel army to continue to build camps, and the two of them led many forbidden army generals and masters of Wudang Mountain, as well as 350,000 forbidden troops and 300,000 family Ding troops, as well as thousands of elites of the broken army, and met them with great momentum.

After the two armies set up their respective positions, the hussar general He Guangzong turned his head and said to Lei Jin, the second elder of Wudang Mountain: "Elder Lei, now that the two armies are in formation, they must be fighting generals, I hope that the masters of Wudang Mountain can go to the front of the two armies, kill the brave generals of the rebels, and improve the morale of our army!" ”

The two elders and the two Dharma protectors sent by Wudang Mountain this time were both behind the hussar general He Guangzong at this time.

The second elder of Wudang Mountain, Lei Jin, nodded, and then turned his head to Wu Lu, the protector of Wudang Mountain, and said: "Wu Protector, the first formation will be handed over to you, don't weaken the name of our Wudang Mountain!" ”

The corners of Wu Lu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a spear in his hand: "Please ask the Second Elder, the Fourth Elder, and Yang Protector to sweep the formation for me, and I will come back after killing enough three people!" ”

After saying that, Wu Lu urged the horse to raise his gun, and came to the front of the two armies and shouted loudly: "Wudang Mountain Protector Wu Lu is here, who dares to come up and send him to death?" ”

The name of the shadow tree, the name of the protector of Wudang Mountain, immediately caused an uproar among the generals of the Suzhou Xiang Army, after all, Wudang Mountain is one of the four major schools in the world, and the protectors of Wudang Mountain all have the strength to be on the list of peerless generals in the world's hero spectrum.

Regarding the discussions of the generals behind him, Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, frowned slightly, turned his head to Zhang Shaohua, who was following him, and asked, "Brother Shaohua, how are your injuries?" ”

Zhang Shaohua said with a big grin: "Zhang Dashuai, they are all minor injuries, don't delay me to cut people!" Did you let me go up and cut down the kid with the gun? ”

Zhang Mingqi immediately said: "Brother Shaohua, the protectors of Wudang Mountain all have the strength of the peerless fierce generals in the world's hero spectrum, you must not be careless." ”

Zhang Shaohua asked puzzledly: "Zhang Dashuai, what is the world's hero spectrum?" What is the Peerless Warrior List? Where is Wudang Mountain? ”

Zhang Mingqi covered his head, "Okay! Just when I didn't say anything! But Brother Shaohua, you must be careful before the two armies are in front of the formation! ”

Zhang Shaohua put the glaive knife in his hand horizontally, grinned and said, "Zhang Dashuai, you can rest assured!" My master said that I am the reincarnation of the god of war, and the god of war will not be defeated! ”

Zhang Shaohua urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, and shouted at Wu Lu, the protector of Wudang Mountain: "Red Turban Army Zhang...... Wrong! It's Suzhou Xiangjun Zhang Shaohua here! Come here, you kid! ”

Wu Lu, the protector of Wudang Mountain, snorted coldly, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and urged the horse to kill Zhang Shaohua, and Zhang Shaohua also swung his knife to meet him, and soon the two fought together.

However, as soon as he fought, Wu Lu couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, the strength of the general of the Suzhou Xiang Army was also too great, you must know that Wu Lu has always been proud of his strength, but the weapons of the two touched each other, Wu Lu felt that the hands holding the spear were numb for a while, the spear was so suspended that it flew out, and his body couldn't help but shake on the horse, Wu Lu quickly cheered up the spirit of twelve points, and did not dare to be a little negligent.
