Chapter 230: The Iron Horse is Closed

Tongque Pass was the first city pass that Song Qi fell, so he attached great importance to it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He felt that the stability of the army and the people of Tongque Pass was very important, as long as the Tongque Pass was stabilized, it would be invincible in the future, otherwise if it failed in the front, there would be no way out.

He rested here for three days to ensure that 100,000 loads of grain were smoothly distributed to the people, and also to ensure that the soldiers of Wei and Chen could be harmoniously integrated.

There were originally 30,000 guards at Tongque Pass. Song Qi reorganized the 30,000 guards, mixed the 15,000 guards and 3,000 Chen soldiers, and left them at Tongque Pass to guard the pass. Appointed Captain Lizhong as the general of Tongque Pass.

The other 15,000 soldiers were integrated into the vanguard army, of which 5,000 were still led by Miao Feng, and the other 10,000 were enriched under the other dozen lieutenants.

Miao Feng was slightly unhappy. He had 30,000 soldiers under his command, but now there are only 5,000 left. However, he still has something to be thankful for, he still leads the generals, and he brings many more soldiers than the other captains under Song Qi. The other lieutenants originally only had 1,000 soldiers under their command, but after they were enriched, they were only 1,000 and 5.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, it was just dawning.

Song Qi gave an order, and the vanguard force composed of 32,000 soldiers opened out of Tongque Pass and continued to march in the direction of Weijing Duo'an Mansion.

Just arrived at the city gate, of course, it was another city gate, only to see that there were hundreds of people gathered there, this time it was really a pot of pulp, helping the old and the young, and sending off the road.

The old man in blue was impressively in the ranks, and a group of old, middle-aged and young people stood behind him, waiting at the city gate. It seems that he is the leader of the people.

The old man in blue pulled the reins of Song Qi's horse, thanked Dade and said, "General Song, thank you for what you have done for our people!" You're such a good general. ”

Song Qi jumped off the horse, held the old man's shriveled hand, and said emotionally: "The old man has won the award!" I Song Qi just did what I was supposed to do. Besides, this grain is only taken from the people and for the people. ”

The old man asked earnestly: "General Song, I heard that you are leaving Tongque Pass, I wonder when you will be able to come back?" ”

Song Qi thought for a while and said, "Take Duo'an Mansion, I will definitely come back to see everyone!" ”

The old man shook Song Qi's hand vigorously with both hands, "Okay! I hope that General Song will be victorious and successful! ”

"I hope that General Song will be victorious and successful!" The people behind the old man blessed together.

Song Qi couldn't help but feel excited, the people who defended the country said so, what should the people of the country do if they don't die? Song Qi shook hands with the people at the gate of the city one by one, then turned over and got on the horse, and under the courtesy of the people, embarked on the journey of revenge.

The news of Tongque Pass's surrender without a fight immediately spread to the next Guan Town.

Next, the army was like a bamboo, as if it had entered a no-man's land, and did not encounter any fierce resistance.

Shu Fu, the chief general of Heihe Town, surrendered after a short battle, Lai Ming, the chief general of Yutu Pass, was tied up by his soldiers to surrender, and Qu Yining, the chief general of Yinhe Pass, surrendered after the city was broken.

Song Qi's army set out for less than half a month, and successively conquered several important towns such as Tongque Pass, Heihe Town, Yutu Pass and Yinhe Pass.

When Song Qi's troops entered each town, the local people welcomed them with pot pulp. Of course, what can convince the people is not his strong combat power, but the subtle role played by Vawei Weiwen.

At each pass, Song Qi had to leave a captain Chen Guo with 2,000 Chen soldiers to guard the pass, and at the same time integrate some of the surrendered troops into his vanguard troops.

After conquering the four towns, Song Qi's strength increased greatly, and the vanguard army increased from the initial 20,000 to 70,000.

The army continued to advance in the direction of Weijing.

On this day, Song Qidun's troops were under the Iron Horse Pass, which was less than 800 miles away from Duo'an Mansion.

Tiema Pass is located halfway up the mountain, with tall and straight mountains on both sides. In fact, Tiema Pass is a castle built in a long and narrow canyon based on the natural topography.

This pass is dominated by garrisons, with more than 50,000 soldiers, and the number of inhabitants is not much, or even not as large as the number of soldiers.

When Song Qi went to Duo'an Mansion to rob the Dharma field, he passed through the Iron Horse Pass twice. The reason why they were able to pass smoothly was because the general guarding the pass at that time did not know that Mingyu was a prisoner of the imperial court, nor did he know that Song Qi was a general of Chen Guo. So when they passed by, the soldiers guarding the gate gave them a switch and let them go, and they didn't encounter any resistance.

However, whether it is the Var Wei Wen, the super high cloud car, or even the kamikaze, after arriving at the Iron Horse Pass, it seems that all of them have lost their deterrent effect. The Iron Horse Pass did not surrender immediately after receiving the letter as Song Qi imagined, but laid down 50,000 heavy troops on a sloping grass in front of the pass, and confronted the surging Song Qi troops at a distance of five or six hundred steps with incomparably majestic momentum.

Song Qi's troops carried the power of several victories, and their momentum was naturally very flamboyant.

The 5,000 cavalrymen were all in front of the formation on tall horses of various colors, holding various weapons in their hands, including jet-black spears, sharp spears, and golden glittering Changge, and so on. Song Qi rode a tall horse with a snow-white coat and stood in the middle of the cavalry. He was dressed in silver armor, with a red, green and black feather mixed in his helmet, a repeater made of tungsten steel on his back, and a bright silver spear in his hand. Next to him, there were several soldiers carrying flags, one of which was a scarlet flag embroidered with two dragon-shaped patterns, which was the national flag of Chen Guo, and the other, a slightly smaller flag, was embroidered with a seal Song character.

Behind the cavalry were five thousand shield-bearers, each with a black shield and a short sword, standing in five rows. Behind the shield-bearers were five thousand archers, each with a silver longbow in their hands, each with a few hundred feathered arrows in their knapsacks, standing in ten rows.

Behind the archers were 30,000 infantrymen, armed with short weapons of various colors.

Behind the infantry were two thousand cloud chariot guards, pushing twenty cloud chariots that were towering as if they wanted to compete with the surrounding mountains.

Behind them are mechanical units guarding stone throwing vehicles, ramming vehicles, crossbows and other large siege equipment.

The eyes of all the soldiers on the other side crossed over from the cavalry team at the front, and they all landed on the fifteen-zhang high cloud chariot behind, and they all gasped in shock. No wonder our side lost a few levels in a row, it turned out that the other party had such a strong strength.

A general urged his horse from the opponent's formation to step forward more than a hundred steps, only to see that he was wearing black armor, a horse with pure black fur under his crotch, and holding a black gilt boring in his hand.

"Phew! Whoever comes, please report your name! The black-iron general shouted loudly. His voice was hoarse and shrill in a way that was completely out of harmony with his muscular, majestic body. If he hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes, he would have thought that there was an invisible person next to him to dub him.

Song Qi also urged the horse to go more than a hundred steps, and with a slight bow of his hand on the horse, he asked loudly: "I am Song Qi, the pioneer officer of the Great Chen Guowei Guard!" All the patriotic generals automatically switched and surrendered when they heard my name! Who are you?! Why don't you switch on and off? (To be continued.) )
