Could it be because I had neglected him just now? This is the last thought of Wu Zhen's life.

Everything was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, attracting everyone's attention, but it was also over before everyone could react. Suddenly, one of the four middle-level generals had blood-red eyes, staring at He Gongming with a fierce hand, his hand tightly gripping the sword at his waist, and the blade and scabbard made a crisp grinding sound.

A touch of ruthlessness flashed in He Gongming's eyes, and he roared: "Look for death!" ”

The scimitar in He Gongming's hand was quickly pulled out of Wu Zhen's corpse, and everyone saw a flash of white light, and the head of the middle-level general had already been thrown into the sky with the sudden blood arrow. And the hand of the middle-level general was still tightly grasping the saber that was only more than half drawn. Compared to He Gongming, he seems too slow!

The four pro-soldiers brought by He Gongming in the back, "Zheng!" With a bang, everyone pulled out the slender scimitar that glistened with cold light at their waists. shouted: "Who dares to move!" ”

A general's face was pale, sweating profusely, and he asked, "He Gongming, what are you doing here!" Want to rebel? The enemy is still fighting so infighting, you are an idiot! ”

He Gongming calmly cut off Wu Zhen's head, turned around, heard the words, and laughed: "Rebellion? You're right! But I'm not calling this a rebellion, I'm calling it abandoning darkness and turning to light! It's called an uprising! See the army of Lu Long under the mountain? That's what I brought in! ”

"You! You actually betrayed King Jin! When the general heard this, his originally pale face was even whiter, but now it was not only his forehead, but his face was also covered with cold sweat, pointing at He Gongming, and said in a trembling tone.

"Hah! Ha! So what. He Gongming's fierce gaze swept over the people on the city tower, raised his head, and roared angrily: "Wu Zhen is dead!" Yanmen Pass can no longer be defended, and those who surrender will not be killed! If you are still obsessed, don't blame the Lu Long Righteous Army for coming and killing Yanmen Pass to the point that no chicken or dog is left! ”

When the generals on the city tower heard this, their faces suddenly turned blue and white, and they were obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle!

A monstrous aura appeared on He Gongming's face, and he commanded sharply: "Send a signal!" Let the Lu Long Righteous Army enter, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

"Wait!" One of the generals couldn't help but speak.

He Gongming looked at the other party coldly and shouted: "Don't play tricks on Lao Tzu and delay time!" Put a signal! ”

"Nope! I...... The last general surrenders......" said the general, whose face turned pale.

"The last will wait...... Surrender too! When several generals saw that someone was taking the lead, they immediately seemed to have been knocked down a domino, and the rest of the generals couldn't help but surrender, although Wu Zhen's personal soldiers wanted to avenge Wu Zhen, but they had no choice but to follow the trend. They can't harm their whole family for the sake of a dead man, can they?

"Good!" When He Gongming heard this, he couldn't help grinning happily with his front teeth.

"Huh! General, the flag on the Yanmen Gate has fallen! Gao Xingzhou couldn't help but glance at Zhou Dewei with a little surprise, and he didn't know if it was the 'know in a moment' in Zhou Dewei's mouth.

Zhou Dewei let out a long breath of turbidity, shook his spirits, and said, "Finally...... It's done! Someone came, ordered the whole army to advance towards Yanmen Pass! ”

Suddenly, Zhou Dewei pondered for a moment, and felt that he was too rash. If the enemy sees through his strategy, will it cause heavy losses to the whole army? Then he lifted up his hand and stopped the herald, who was about to blow the trumpet. He said, "No! Let's go and test it. ”

Gao Xingzhou on the side frowned, and said: "Jie Shuai, the last general thinks that you must have an internal response inside, but I am afraid that the situation will change if the speed of the march is slow." Otherwise, the last general will lead the horse army first, and the speed is relatively fast! And the number of people is not too large, and the loss is not a problem! ”

When Zhou Dewei heard this, he nodded in agreement, and said, "You are right, but don't take risks!" It's good to fight, but it's not good to take unnecessary risks. ”

Gao Xingzhou frowned and said, "Jie Shuai is afraid that he won't be able to explain in front of my father, right?" But the last general wants the marshal to understand, as a general, where is there no bloodshed and no Yama is seen? Please approve it! ”

When Zhou Dewei heard this, he sighed: "Gao Siji gave birth to a good son!" Perhaps lead the cavalry first! But when you see something wrong, Ben Shuai allows you to surrender and save your life! ”

"No!" When Gao Xingzhou heard this, he didn't say much, and responded categorically. He led his headquarters of 1,500 cavalry up the mountain. Although the Yanmen Pass mountain is dangerous, the danger is not that the road is difficult to walk, but that the road is bends and turns, and you look like a distance of only two or three miles in a straight line, but it is five or six miles away. This undoubtedly gave the defenders more time to calmly release their arrows, and the attacking soldiers had to endure the rain of arrows for a longer time.

Let's say that Gao Xing rode his horse and jogged all the way, and 1,500 cavalry stretched out, like a slender poisonous snake. It didn't take long for Gao Xingzhou to enter the range of Yanmen Pass. If the enemy sees through Zhou Dewei's plan, I'm afraid he will have to delay here. Gao Xingzhou's sweaty palms also involuntarily clenched the riding gun, although he knew that this would not have much effect, but it also gave Gao Xingzhou a little more false sense of security psychologically.

He Gongming, who was closed, had already led a hundred of his henchmen to guard the city gate, and when he saw that there was only a small number of Lu dragoons going up the mountain, he knew that Zhou Dewei was cautious, and he didn't care, but he just asked his soldiers to guard the east gate.

But at this moment, one of his soldiers who had been sent to monitor the remaining two gates (Yanmen Pass only had three gates, east, west, and north) came back to report. "Commander, there is a lot of smoke and dust in the north, and it is estimated that a large number of cavalry will appear!"

"Could it be the soldiers and horses of the Tatars? It's coming so fast! When He Gongming heard this, his face changed greatly, and it was difficult to look at it for a moment. Here the Tatars poured all their strength south, and even the vanguard was probably one or two hundred thousand people. He Gongming was not surprised.

"Quick!" He Gongming instructed the henchmen on the side: "You go down the mountain quickly, tell the general below, speed up the mountain!" The Tatars are coming, and I have only one door here. Late will change! ”

The soldier also knew that there was a lot at stake, and he was not polite, so he turned around and ran down the castle tower. He Gongming immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and led his soldiers to guard the city tower, under the city gate, staircase and other vital places. But He Gongming pondered for a while, but he still didn't feel very stable, and personally led his soldiers to guard the city gate, as long as there was no problem with the city gate, everything could be done.

Gao Xingzhou was about to arrive at Yanmen Pass, and saw a horse galloping towards him, intercepted by the soldiers in front, the cavalry claimed to be the internal response of the Lu Long Army, and now there was an urgent military situation to report.

Gao Xingzhou didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to let him go. As soon as the soldier saw Gao Xingzhou, he hurriedly said, "This general, you have to wait to move forward quickly!" Here comes the Tatar soldiers! And my family's commander made his subordinates disobedient, and was afraid of the prestige of my family's commander, although he did not dare to move. But there are only more than 100 soldiers and horses, and now they are guarding the east gate, and the rest of the city gates are intimidated by the town guards, so that Wu Zhen was killed, and no one dares to move. But as soon as the Tatars came, I am afraid that something would change. ”

When Gao Xingzhou heard this, he also knew how powerful it was, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" The trumpet was blown, and the whole army accelerated its advance. ”

After Gao Xingzhou finished speaking, he instructed the captain of the pro-soldiers on the side: "You go down the mountain with this righteous man, report to the marshal, and let the marshal respond!" Don't let the thieves find Confucius! ”

When the captain of the pro-soldier heard this, he bowed on horseback and said, "The last general obeys the order!" With that, he took two cavalrymen, half-protected and half-watched, and led the soldier down the mountain.

Gao Xingzhou's 1,500 cavalry also moved rapidly, and from time to time some cavalry stumbled and fell off their horses because they were galloping in the mountains. If you fall like this, you will be seriously injured, and you will be severely blamed for the king of Yama. However, Gao Xingzhou couldn't take care of it now, lying on the back of the horse, and whipped the war horse with all his might.

Gao Xingzhou thought about the great relationship with the arrival of the Tatars. The most important thing is not just to be the first to enter the Yanmen Pass before being defeated. Rather, it was necessary to preemptively control the Yanmen Pass before the Tatars arrived.

is because even if Gao Xingzhou entered the Yanmen Pass and did not control the Yanmen Pass, then the whole army and the Tatars had to be killed in the Yanmen Pass. The two sides engaged in street battles for control of Yanmen Pass. But the problem is that although the Tatars did not have hundreds of thousands, there were still 108,000, and with the Hedong army along the way, there were probably 1230,000 people combined.

And Zhou Dewei, who had less than 20,000 people, obviously could not consume the Tatar Hedong coalition army. In this way, it is necessary to control Yanmen City, otherwise not only will the previous efforts be wasted, but Zuo Yan [***] will suffer unbearable heavy losses. But the occupation of Yanmen Pass before the Tatars arrived became a difficult problem. After all, there are already many soldiers and horses of the Hedong Army in Yanmen Pass, and the number of soldiers is only much more than that of Gao Xingzhou.

Soon, Gao Xingzhou heard the sound of shouting and killing from above. Gao Xingzhou couldn't help but be shocked, and his face turned slightly pale. Xindao: Could it be that the Tatars have come up? But soon Gao Xingzhou vetoed it, because the shouting and killing were all Chinese. Gao Xingzhou was a little more stable at this time, and after a little pondering, he understood that he was afraid that the other Hedong army wanted to defeat the Hedong army as an internal response before Lu Long's army entered Yanmen Pass. Thinking of this, Gao Xingzhou's heart was raised again.

It was all because of Gao Xingzhou, as can be seen from the language of the soldier's briefing just now. As an internal response was a commander of the Hedong Army, but the soldiers under his command did not completely obey him for unknown reasons. Some chose neutrality, so that the commander would not have too many soldiers and horses, otherwise he would not just control one door.

According to Jinyiwei's investigation, there were a total of 3,000 people in Yanmen Pass, seven battalions, ranging from 500 to 400 in each battalion. Then wouldn't Neiying just resist the six battalions of soldiers and horses with half a battalion, or even less. Gao Xingzhou thought of this, and was even more secretly anxious, but the speed of the war horse could not be raised on the mountain road, and if it was faster, it was easy for the horse to lose its front hooves, after all, the mountain road did not enter the flat ground. Even if the mountain road is well repaired, it is impossible to turn the mountain road into a straight road.

(Straight: Advanced, flat, and can accommodate sixteen fast horses galloping side by side.) And He Gongming, who was closed, was indeed as Gao Xingzhou thought, and the situation was not so good. There may not be many people loyal to Li Keyong in Yanmen Pass, but the problem is that most of them are soldiers. And their family is in Hedong, so you don't need to ask, you can know what will happen to their family after Li Keyong knows about the surrender of Yanmen Pass. The family members of the generals must have been beheaded by the whole family.

The family members of the soldiers must have been slaves in the mines of the men, and the better women went to the homes of the powerful to be slaves and maids, and the almost, I am afraid that they went to the barracks to serve as the camp women, and ended up with a miserable life of red lips.

In this way, even the soldiers who hate Li Ke so much have to guard the Yanmen Pass for Li Ke for the sake of his family. Before, it was because they were not sure, but now that the Tatars came, they felt that their waists had strength. Several commanders immediately sent troops to the east gate.

There are quite a few people, there are 1,000 people, and this is because of the great changes in Yanmen Pass, many soldiers panicked, hid, or escaped from Yanmen Pass. Otherwise, those commanders probably wouldn't have sent such a small number of soldiers and horses to attack He Gongming.

However, this is enough for He Gongming to drink a pot, and He Gongming's soldiers and horses are less than 200 people, and the total is only more than 180 people. One thousand people are down, and one person has to fight more than five people.

But fortunately, He Gongming's third battalion is usually famous, especially He Gongming, who has a hideous appearance and is usually the best to fight. In this way, against the third battalion, although there were many soldiers in the Hedong Army, their momentum was involuntarily weakened.

He Gongming was also very good, with a shield on one hand and a scimitar in the other, he played so much that he could only see the light of the knife and no human figure, and led the soldiers to charge in person. The Hedong Army, which led the attack of the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion at one point, retreated to the streets, forcing them to reorganize their ranks so that they could attack again.

However, when the manpower was finally exhausted, the third battalion under He Gongming was brave enough, but the other commanders were not to be outdone, and constantly put the found Hedong Army soldiers into the attack queue. So that the attacking Hedong Army soldiers still maintain about 1,000 people. On the contrary, the third battalion under He Gongming, after several charges, was able to continue the battle, but there were only a hundred people left. Now it has to go from more than five to ten.

At this time, the morale of the Hedong Army has also risen greatly, after all, one fight ten can't fight others, so don't you have to buy fast tofu and die headlong?

And one of the commanders in charge of the attack also launched a ruthless attack, and the person who ordered to behead He Gongming was promoted to commander. couldn't help but make the eyes of many Hedong Army soldiers red, and the panting sound was much louder. This is the Commander! And he is also such a good commander of Yanmen Pass. Many people's hearts were enlivened, and the whole army was filled with an atmosphere of gearing up.

Although He Gongming didn't know why the enemy's morale suddenly rose again, he also knew that this time it might be more than lucky. couldn't help but look back, but saw that Lu Longjun was still hurrying on the mountainside, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

However, He Gongming is He Gongming in the end, and he is very tough. I saw a scimitar in his hand, and roared angrily: "Today, if the uprising is not successful, it will become a benevolent!" Success is glory and wealth! If you fail, you go to Hades! Brethren, there is no other way now! Only kill! Kill! Kill! Fight your way out!! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! The remaining soldiers of the third battalion were also aroused by He Gongming's pride in their hearts, raised the scimitars and spears in their hands, and roared to the sky. The murderous spirit was sky-high, and the morale of the Hedong army on the opposite side couldn't help but stagnate slightly.

"Attack!" The commander of the Hedong Army who was in charge of the attack on the other side knew that it could not be delayed, otherwise who knew what else would happen to that hob meat to boost morale.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! "The horn sounded on behalf of the attack.

"Attack!"

"Kill it!"

"the guys from the 3rd Battalion!"

A different shout of killing sounded, and a group of soldiers of the Hedong Army shouted in their mouths, picked up their weapons and rushed forward.

The soldiers of the third battalion were boosted by He Gongming's words just now, and it was when morale was high, and the Hedong Army, which was naturally not afraid of attacking, roared and met the Hedong Army.

The flesh and blood killed for a while, and He Gongming also hung the lottery for the first time, mainly because of his big head. That's the official position of a commander. However, He Gongming was not afraid, the scimitar in his right hand sometimes attacked, sometimes blocked, and the shield in his left hand sometimes defended, sometimes impacted, and for a while, the Hedong Army could not help him.

For a while, the battle became a stalemate, but He Gongming's heart sank deeper and deeper. All because the enemy's attack did not retreat, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him. The shouting and killing on the castle tower also weakened a little. This was not because the Hedong Army retreated, but because the soldiers under him were unable to continue.

He Gongming's heart couldn't help but flash a touch of sadness, "Brother Zhou, little brother is sorry for your life-saving kindness!" The little brother has done his best! ”

But at this time, a loud horn sounded, and a shout of killing full of Hebei accents sounded. "Thief !!"

Dozens of soldiers of the Lu Long Army in light armor rushed in from the open city gate, the Tang swords in their hands dancing rapidly, and from time to time a soldier of the Hedong Army fell on a pool of blood.

"Ahh Worst! Lu Long Dog is here! Although they called the other party a dog, the Hedong army was like a cat and a mouse, and retreated faster than when they came.

"Kill the thief!" He Gongming saw a young general with a steel cone and a bright silver spear swinging past him, followed by Lu Longjun soldiers. Fight all the way.

He Gongming couldn't help but be slightly stunned, wasn't Lu Longjun on the mountainside? Why is it now closed at Yanmen? But soon He Gongming reacted, now is not the time to think about this, but the time to kill the enemy. He Gongming immediately raised his scimitar and roared, "The third battalion can still move!" Kill the thief! Kill the thief! ”

All of a sudden, the sound of killing thieves was endless. The Hedong Army didn't know how many people came, but they only felt that Lu Longjun and the third battalion were everywhere. Soldiers of the Hedong Army, whose faces were terrified, threw down their weapons and shouted surrender.

The morale of the third battalion soared all the way, and there was a feeling that a serf had turned into a landlord.
