The time for Jiuliguan to be taken was beyond Duan Qirui's expectations, and the same Manchu army never thought that Jiuliguan would fall so quickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

From the beginning to the end of the battle, although the Qing troops at Wusheng Pass and Pingjing Pass reacted, realizing that the northern army had launched an attack towards Jiuli Pass.

The Qing army in the two passes immediately began to mobilize troops to support in the direction of Jiuli Pass, and just after the support troops were assembled, they were already about to leave the pass.

The gunfire in the direction of Jiuliguan suddenly stopped, as if it gave people an incomparably fierce fight, and suddenly encountered an irresistible situation, as if the two sides had ceased fire at the same time.

However, the Manchu defenders of Wusheng Pass and Pingjing Pass knew that such a situation only meant one thing, or the northern army that tried to attack Jiuli Pass saw that it could not take Jiuli Pass, so they chose to retreat.

Either the Northern Army took Jiuli Pass in a very short period of time, and if the situation was the second, the combat ability of the Northern Army would be a huge blow to these Manchu soldiers.

After the friendly forces in Jiuliguan were put into the defense of the Northern Army, they were still taken down by the Northern Army in a very short period of time, which shows how fierce the offensive of the Northern Army is.

For a while, the fighting in Jiuliguan stopped, making the Qing troops in Wushengguan and Pingjingguan a little confused, not knowing what was going on in Jiuliguan.

Hurriedly sent the army out, maybe there would be some accidents, and the two levels suddenly died down, and there was no more action but waiting for dawn to find out.

The defenders of the two passes all planned to do so, and the army that rescued Jiuli Pass was over, and just an hour or two after everything returned to calm in Wusheng Pass, the sky showed a cloudy situation.

Not far from Wusheng Pass, the soldiers above the pass could clearly see a group of soldiers walking slowly not far away, and the formation of these soldiers seemed a little loose.

From a distance, you can vaguely see that these soldiers are wearing their own military uniforms, but their appearance is not very good, the military uniforms are like a big cotton jacket wrapped around their bodies, and they are torn everywhere.

After walking under the pass, you can clearly see that the faces of these soldiers are black, and at first glance it is the reason for the gunsmoke.

This team of soldiers who looked like a rout soldier came to the bottom of the pass of Wusheng Pass, and naturally received the warning above the pass, and these soldiers saw the fire in the direction of Jiuli Pass last night, who knows if these soldiers came to the city from the Northern Army.

Just after the soldiers above the pass reported the situation below the pass to the commander, Yu Dahong, the commander of Wusheng Pass, immediately came to the pass.

Yu Dahong had just appeared above the pass, and a sentence suddenly came from among the routs below the pass.

"The surname is Yu, quickly switch it to my brother, my mother's labor and management have never fought such a humiliating battle."

As soon as Yu Dahong heard this, he immediately felt a little familiar, listening to this accent is not Zhang Xiyuan's old boy, and then looking down, sure enough, it was Zhang Xiyuan who was standing in the front.

So Yu Dahong immediately ordered the soldiers to let Zhang Xiyuan and others enter the pass.

Zhang Xiyuan and Yu Dahong can be regarded as world friends, and the two families have always been close, and Zhang Xiyuan married Yu Dahong's sister, and Yu Dahong married Zhang Xiyuan's sister.

The relationship between the two is basically wearing a pair of pants, and this time Zhang Xiyuan came to Yu Dahong from last night.

After Zhang Xiyuan's surrender last night, Duan Qirui was naturally happy that the senior generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty surrendered to his side, and Duan Qirui also wanted to use Zhang Xiyuan's identity to knock on the pass of Wusheng Pass or Pingjing Pass.

But he didn't expect Duan Qirui to say it himself, Zhang Xiyuan, in order to show his role, even said to Duan Qirui that he himself persuaded Yu Dahong, the commander of Wushengguan, to surrender.

Zhang Xiyuan was a little cautious when he said this, as a general who had just surrendered, his status was naturally inferior, and he would be suspicious if he suddenly said such a thing.

Who knows if he, Zhang Xiyuan, will take advantage of this kung fu and sell his people directly to Wusheng Pass.

However, when Zhang Xiyuan put forward this proposal, it can be said that he was on the side of the northern army, and even after he returned to the south, it was impossible for him to be reused.

If you die in battle, forget it, but you still surrendered, and after returning to the south, according to the temperament of the imperial court, you are afraid that you will definitely die, so it is better to go directly to the northern army than this.

Giving advice to the Northern Army, with the merit of offering Wushengguan, you can immediately change from the identity of a general to a hero.

After Zhang Xiyuan's proposal came out, Duan Qirui fell into deep thought, as if considering the feasibility.

However, Liu Wangzhen and others on the side directly raised objections, saying that this plan was too risky, in fact, they were euphemistically saying that Zhang Xiyuan had just surrendered, which was more or less unbelievable, what if he turned his face and didn't recognize people.

"I agreed to this plan, don't doubt the use of people, since I, Duan Qirui, choose to accept your surrender, I will use you, but in order to ensure that you can't bring too many people."

Duan Qirui's move was completely gambling, betting that Zhang Xiyuan had really taken refuge in his side.

With Duan Qirui's support, Zhang Xiyuan's proposal was also approved, so Zhang Xiyuan's appearance at Wusheng Pass this morning happened.

After Zhang Xiyuan was welcomed into the pass by Yu Dahong, he said: "Brother-in-law, what happened in Jiuli Pass last night, why are you so soldiers now?" ”

As soon as Zhang Xiyuan entered the customs, Yu Dahong asked the question he was most concerned about, and Zhang Xiyuan talked about other things after hearing this, and kept silent.

"Alas, don't say anything, let the eldest brother take a good bath and have a good meal first."

Yu Dahong realized at this moment that it was indeed a little bad for his brother-in-law to talk about these things like this, so he immediately ordered the soldiers below to prepare for it.

After Zhang Xiyuan took a shower in Meimei, he had another good meal before he met Yu Dahong again in the barracks.

After Yu Dahong saw his brother-in-law in the camp again, when he greeted him, looking at his brother-in-law's current appearance, it was a world different from when he first arrived at the pass, and it was completely two people.

After Zhang Xiyuan came in, the two sat together and exchanged pleasantries, and then Yu Dahong asked the question he was most concerned about, what happened in Jiuliguan last night.

After Yu Dahong said this, Zhang Xiyuan suddenly made a color towards Yu Dahong, indicating that Yu Dahong was not the place to speak.

And after Yu Dahong saw his brother-in-law's expression, even if he knew that his brother-in-law had any secrets to tell him, he immediately repulsed the soldiers outside the camp. (To be continued.) )
