Chapter 595: Upstairs with the Remnant of the Light (Part I)

PS: Yesterday's chapter was called "How much is lovesick (harmony) night (harmony)", and the middle three words were blocked by Dianniang

The sound of cannons continued to sound, and the soldiers of the Ming army rushed into Yanmen Pass like a tide. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Once majestic and tall, insurmountable Yanmen Pass, at this time in the running Ming army soldiers trembling and surrendering, the black flags proudly fluttering on the city have been replaced by red flags, a red flag followed the Ming army that charged forward and poured into the city, like a raging flame, and half of the city was swallowed up in an instant.

"Quick! Keep up and sweep the surrounding streets! A Ming brigade commander rushed into the city on horseback, a tributary roaring past him, and the Mongols resisted stubbornly in the surrounding houses. The explosions came one after another, and the houses where the arrows were fired just now were blown up by the attacking Ming soldiers with thistles.

This Yanmen Pass is built in the valley, it is not big, the houses inside are mainly military camps, even low, and the streets are even narrower, and even most of them can only pass through one person, so although the remaining number of the Mongolian army is not much, but in this broken wall and ruins stubborn resistance, it still takes a little effort to clean up.

Fortunately, this is not the first time that the Tianwu Army has fought street battles, the street battles of the Battle of Chenzhou at the beginning, because of the command of Boyan, were much more difficult than this, and even in the end, Jiang Hao personally led the team into battle to take the last Chenzhou Mansion.

The already experienced Ming soldiers continued to advance deep into the city, the sword and shield men in front and on both sides to prevent hidden arrows, and the crossbowmen and firecrackers followed, any Mongol poked his head out, it was a greeting, as for the spearmen, it seemed to fall slowly behind the team, but everyone knew that as long as the Mongols in front of them showed a flaw, they would pounce like sharks smelling blood, and completely tear the enemy to pieces.

Unlike the foot soldiers who cleaned the lanes, the Ming cavalry did not have the intention of entanglement with the Mongol troops who were constantly harassing on both sides, and rushed straight to the south of the city. Any Mongol army that stood in front of them was directly and ruthlessly scattered, and the blood-stained blades were raised against the wind, and these cavalry were like a sharp blade, piercing through the hastily organized defense lines of the Mongols, only to keep moving forward!

The cavalry of the Ming army behind frantically instigated their horses, surpassed their own scattered foot soldiers, penetrated the chaotic array of the Mongols, and joined the team, so that the number of cavalry troops running wild did not decrease, but increased a lot.

At the same time, earth-shattering killings were also heard in the south of the city, and it was clear that the Mongol army had begun to retreat. And just as Ye Yingwu expected, the direction of retreat they chose was the south of the city, and from the south of the city, they returned to the grassland by taking Loufu and Lanshui.

"Quick, attack the South Gate!" The commanders were yelling, the commanders were yelling, the brigade commanders were yelling, and even the division commanders were yelling. One by one, the flags were waved in the wind, and even rushed to the front of the queue, and the soldiers of the Tianwu Army, who had already killed the red eyes, roared and marched forward, and the entire Yanmen Pass was almost covered by red flags at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Tianwu Army, who were in charge of the main attack, saw with their own eyes how the 3rd and 4th Brigades paid a heavy price to cover their flanks, and they also saw the heroism of the rows of Brothers Paozawa when they fell on the slopes on both sides, and even more so the magnificence when they watched countless red flags sweeping the hillside!

The blood of every soldier of the Ming army has been unquenchable, and now all they want is to follow the red flag fluttering in front of them, forward, and forward! No matter where he attacks, as long as there are Mongolian Tatars, he will kill them, so that these turtle grandchildren know what price should be paid for killing Lao Tzu's brothers.

This attack was non-stop, and the Mongol defense did not play any effective blocking role, but kept gathering and constantly being defeated, and the Ming army infantry cavalry had no interest in the defeated Mongols, just desperately interspersed and attacked to the south of the city. And the Mongols have already seen the intentions of the Ming army, they want to catch up with the retreating Mongol army!

The Mongolian generals who understood this beckoned the soldiers to organize the defense line, but the Mongolian soldiers still had the morale and courage at this time?

The panicked footsteps of the soldiers, the futile shouts of the generals and the sound of the horses' hooves approaching the Ming army made the whole Yanmen Pass a mess.

"General Qiyu, Supervisor, the First Brigade and the Second Brigade have almost swept the city," a division with a wound on his arm strode over, bowed slightly to Jiang Hao and Yin Yu, his arm was injured, and he couldn't bow his hand anymore, "Now our cavalry is still attacking south, but the resistance of the Mongols has become stronger and stronger, and they are almost blocking our advance with their lives." ”

"It's good that the Mongols are in a hurry." Jiang Hao sneered, "Tell the brothers, don't rush forward, just entangle the Mongolian Tartars." ”

Originally, the Ming army did not plan to really annihilate the Mongol army at this Yanmen Pass, otherwise it would not have been possible to launch a strong attack only from the north. If it weren't for the fact that the Ming army south of Yanmen Pass was not fierce, the Mongols would not have given up the resistance at the north gate in the end and broke through directly from the south.

The Mongol army retreating to the south is about to face not only the main force of the Tianwu Army, but also the Shenwei Army, the Xuanwu Army, the Jinghu Army and the Zhendong Army that sharpen their swords. And what the Tianwu Army needs to do now is to clean up the battlefield, and secondly, to put on a posture of full pursuit, so that more Mongolian Tatars can stay and pursue, and at the same time, it can also drive the Mongols to retreat quickly.

Therefore, Jiang Hao did not hesitate to send cavalry to penetrate in depth, these Ming cavalry may be able to break through the defenses hastily arranged by the Mongolian infantry in the city, but once they really catch up with the Mongolian cavalry, it is not known who will die, Jiang Hao does not want to pull these precious cavalry out and fight with the Mongolian Tartars, and he also has strict orders for them.

Now it seems that these Ming cavalry charged and killed very quickly, but in fact, Jiang Hao strictly ordered that no cavalry should cross the south gate to pursue.

The current impact of the Ming army is more actually just a show, but even if they can only be regarded as a bluff, the Mongol army, which has fallen into chaos, will believe it and desperately retreat south. This little trick may be easy to see through in peacetime, but at this time, the Mongol army, which has no orders from its superiors at all, is actually in a state of fighting on its own, let alone seeing through such a small trick, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do even if it is to organize a retreat.

"Look at the South Gate!" Yin Yu pouted.

Jiang Hao followed his gaze, and the explosion sounded, and the tower on the south gate of the Yanmen Pass Fortress was surrounded by a sea of fire, and the return cannons under the southern city wall that could see half of the body were also engulfed by fire at this time. The muffled sound of explosive packets exploding in the firelight could be heard even here, and it was clear that the Ming army to the south was holding back the Mongol army and sweeping the city gates.

"The Mongol Tartars burned all the return guns?" Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows, "It's really amazing." ”

At this time, the Ming army in the north was still advancing, and the Ming army in the south was still outside the city wall, with the power of the flying thunder cannon explosive package and artillery shells, it was not enough to let these more than ten huge return cannons burn at the same time, then there was only one possibility, the retreating Mongols burned these huge offensive and defensive equipment, and it was even possible that the city tower at the south gate was set on fire by them.

"It seems that the Mongolian Tartars are not going to leave anything to us," Yin Yu couldn't help but laugh, "This Kublai Khan is really stingy." ”

In front of them, the return cannon that had brought great obstacles to the soldiers of the Ming army besieging the city had turned into flaming torches in the raging flames, and these giant weapons that had once supported half of the Mongolian sky with their own strength finally ushered in the end in the hands of their own people.

Along with these return cannons, they burned and collapsed, as well as the confidence of every Mongol soldier, as well as the entire Mongol Khanate.

The soldiers of the Ming army, who gradually cleaned the alleys of the city, had regrouped and advanced southward with uniform slogans, and the Mongolian soldiers who were still resisting finally lost their last fighting spirit when they saw the huge torches rendering half of the sky blood-red.

I don't know who put down the blade in his hand first, and the Mongolian soldiers who were still resisting in all corners of the entire Yanmen Pass walked out one after another and surrendered to the nearest Ming soldiers. Of course, there are also generals loyal to the Mongols, who are still shouting in vain, or directly drawing their swords to kill themselves.

The sound of the fire engulfing the wood became smaller and smaller, and the huge torches collapsed. All the return cannons stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Ming army were reduced to ashes in this way, and it also announced that this bloody battle had come to an end temporarily.

The killing sound in the south gradually subsided, and the Mongol captives on the side of the road staggered by, Jiang Hao and Yin Yu glanced at each other, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, at least their mission had been completed.

"General Jiang, Supervisor Yin!" There was a sudden shout of surprise in front, Jiang Hao and Yin Yu hurriedly turned their heads to look, several knights came quickly, and the first one was Zhang Shijie, the commander of the Ming Shangzhu State and the Northern Expedition.

Seeing Zhang Shijie coming in person, Yin Yu and Jiang Hao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted them.

Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Luoyang has not seen each other for four months, and it is in these four months that the Ming Dynasty completed the unparalleled Northern Expedition, recovering Youyan, not to mention, and now it is forcing the Mongolian Tartars to the desperate road of Lanshui. In particular, the Tianwu army attacked rapidly to the west from Juyong Pass, successively breaking through Ulzhou, Datongfu and Mayi, and pointing at Yanmen Pass, which cut off the last retreat of the Mongols, which can be called a stroke of genius.

And today's Ming army, which is divided into two routes, has finally successfully joined forces at this Yanmen Pass, which also marks that this vigorous battle is about to come to an end.

"Long time no see!" Zhang Shijie smiled and hugged Jiang Hao, the friendship between soldiers who fought side by side was sometimes not something that could be stopped by the size of the official rank.

Jiang Hao also showed a smile on his face, patted each other on the back with Zhang Shijie, and then made a gesture of please: "This Yanmen Pass was broken by us, and we couldn't clean up a few clean houses, so they let them set up a tent in the open space in front of them, so let's make a living first." ”

"Okay, let's go over it." Zhang Shijie nodded.

――――――――――――――――――-

A touch of morning light poured in through the window, and the wind that slipped in carried a slight chill, silently heralding that summer was about to leave, and the crisp autumn would soon come.

Ye Yingwu Huoran opened his eyes and almost subconsciously wanted to sit up, but when he felt the softness in his arms, he still forcibly restrained himself, with a wry smile on his face. In the front line for four months, although not every day in the war, but there may be an emergency military situation at any time, so Ye Yingwu can not sleep peacefully at night, and in the morning he will get up at two o'clock (author's note: half past six), although this is not earlier than Ye Yingwu's usual time in the court, but compared to the time when he rests, it is definitely early to get up, you must know that if it is not for the war in Nanjing, Ye Yingwu can't wait to sleep until three poles in the sun.

As a traveler, even Ye Yingwu himself was curious about why he developed a good habit of getting up early in this era that he couldn't practice in his previous life. Maybe it's because this body has long been accustomed to the routine of this era, or maybe it's because the burden on his shoulders is too heavy, and there is no way for people to sit back and relax.

Exhaling lightly, Ye Yingwu could feel the even and smooth breathing of the person in his arms, and Zhao Yunshu lay on his chest, his black hair scattered over the girl's white shoulders and Ye Yingwu's chest. Ye Yingwu raised his head slightly, although he didn't get up, he was already able to see the situation in the blue yarn cabinet clearly.

Because of the heat of the summer night, the thin layer of brocade that was originally covered on the body didn't know when it was kicked off by this girl, and the delicate body and slender legs of the soul were attached to Ye Yingwu's body, and they were also exposed to Ye Yingwu's gaze.

Zhao Yunshu in her sleep obviously didn't realize that Ye Yingwu was looking at every inch of her white and flawless body upright, perhaps because she also felt the coldness of the morning breeze, and the girl subconsciously shrunk, wanting to let herself hold this warm body close at hand.

Ye Yingwu couldn't help sighing, and wanted to reach out and pull the quilt over, but found that his hand and this girl's hand were interlocked and tightly held, and they had already been indistinguishable from each other.

I don't know what Zhao Yunshu dreamed of in his dream, his pink red lips opened slightly, and then there was a sound of smashing his mouth. Ye Yingwu frowned, and he didn't know whether he was happy or helpless.

Zhao Yunshu's personality was originally restrained, coupled with the identity of the princess of the previous dynasty, so that even when she was alone with Ye Yingwu, she was more or less careful, and she could be called walking on thin ice. Coupled with the comprehensive etiquette education of the royal family, Her Royal Highness the princess can definitely be called a standing statue and a sleeping position, and sometimes even Ye Yingwu is ashamed of himself.

But now Zhao Yunshu stuck his whole body on Ye Yingwu and didn't say anything, and maybe because he dreamed of some food, and even his saliva was about to flow down. At this moment, Ye Yingwu could clearly feel that the girl had completely opened her heart to herself, and regarded herself as the person she entrusted with for life, not just a protective umbrella in the troubled times.

Ye Yingwu reached out and pinched Zhao Yunshu's cheek, Zhao Yunshu opened his eyes in a daze, saw Ye Yingwu's playful expression, and then felt the wetness of the corners of his mouth, and suddenly his pretty face turned crimson: "What are you smiling at・・・・・・ you laugh at!" ”

Yesterday, he was teased by Ye Yingwu like that, which made Zhao Yunshu feel that he was about to lose the face to see this guy, and now he slept in front of this guy so much that his saliva was about to flow, and he was simply embarrassed to throw home. Ye Yingwu didn't answer her words, but just stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt over the two of them: "Some people can kick off the quilt when they sleep, so that they wake up from freezing one morning." ”

Okay, he also kicked off the quilt neatly in front of him, Zhao Yunshu came to his senses, and felt that it was more appropriate for him to find a crack in the ground now, and then look at the sweeping gaze of this guy on his body, Zhao Yunshu panicked and snatched the quilt from Ye Yingwu's hand and wrapped himself tightly.

Ye Yingwu's eyes widened as she watched as this girl snatched away the quilt in her hand, raised her eyebrows, pounced directly, and ripped off the futon: "Okay, you little girl, if you don't fight for a few months, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles?" Yesterday, I endured so hard, I was afraid that your body was too weak to withstand the toss, and now that you have so much strength, don't blame me for not piping on the jade. ”

"I ・・・・・・ I'm wrong, can't I?" Zhao Yunshu suddenly shrunk into a ball, clasped his hands and knees to protect himself tightly, and blinked at Ye Yingwu, but it was unknown whether he was more afraid or more coquettish in this gaze.

However, the more Zhao Yunshu looked like this, the more Ye Yingwu looked at the flames, and a wicked smile flashed at the corner of his mouth: "This is the corner of the wall, do you think you ran away?" ”

Even if he had to let her go in the end, he had to scare and scare this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky.
