Ningwu Pass is a high terrain, with mountains and loess slopes everywhere, and hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in such a place, and it takes time very much.

Even with a clairvoyant mirror, Zhou Huchen couldn't see how many troops the enemy had, in short, it was more. The mountains outside Ningwu Pass are undulating, except for the Fen River with ice light, there are busy people everywhere, and it is impossible to count them at all, and Zhou Huchen can only describe Li Zicheng's army in many words.

Zhou Huchen began to recall the trend of history, and in his memory, this Li Zicheng should have seized the world in two ways, one was through Yanmen Pass, and the other was to capture Ningwu Pass. In history, Zhou Yuji also defended Yanmen Pass in Dai County, and later Yanmen Pass ran out of ammunition and food, and Zhou Yuji broke through and returned to Ningwu Pass, and then martyred the country.

Li Zicheng will attack Xinzhou first, and then attack Daizhou urgently. It's a pity that Li Zicheng doesn't have to attack Xinzhou now. Because, there is no one there, to be exact, there are no officers and officials left. Of course, don't even think about all kinds of materials, Zhou Huchen has already hollowed out Xinzhou.

Zhou Huchen suddenly remembered that in history, Li Zicheng should have been the first to attack Yanmen Pass in Daizhou, and the first to open the road to Beijing. Then he will attack Ningwu, and then take Datong and Xuanfu to enter the land of Gyeonggi, so that the two roads and attack under the city of Beijing, which caused a series of great changes in the world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Huchen broke out in a cold sweat, he was still a little nervous for a while, he was too busy, he made a mistake in such an important matter, and now he had to quickly bring someone to support Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass has been the most important strategic place since ancient times, and has always been known as "the nine stops in the world, headed by Yanmen." "The first pass of Jiusai respect" Xiongguan is close to the mountain and is located on the mountain, which is one of the main central passages for the wild geese to go south and return to the north. On the east and west wings, the mountains are undulating. The Great Wall of the mountain ridge, its potential is meandering, and it goes east to Pingxingguan, Bauhinia Pass, and Baoma Pass, and reaches Youyan and connects Hanhai; Go west to Xuangangkou, Ningwu Pass, and Yatou Pass to the Yellow River.

Zhou Huchen understood that Li Zicheng would definitely attack Yanmen Pass first, and Yanmen Pass was not as strong as he imagined, otherwise he would not have been given up by the fierce-tempered Zhou Yuji in history. The reason is very simple, there was a shortage of soldiers and food in Yanmen Pass in history, and Zhou Yuji would give up Yanmen Pass when he couldn't hold it anymore. Although history has changed, and the current Yanmen Pass is full of soldiers and food, Li Zicheng will definitely attack Yanmen Pass first, because the city wall of Yanmen Pass is much shorter than Ningwu Pass, and it is closer to the Beijing Division, which is Li Zicheng's first choice.

Thinking about this matter, Zhou Huchen hurriedly pulled Cai Maode, who had been on the city wall and refused to leave, aside alone.

"What, Xiaohu is going to support Yanmen Pass, and he has to take 10,000 soldiers away! What should Ning Wu do with this? As soon as Cai Maode heard that Zhou Huchen was going to Yanmen Pass, his eyes immediately widened and he shouted.

Zhou Huchen hurriedly explained: "Li Zicheng will not attack Ningwu Pass first, Yanmen Pass is his first target, which is the closest to the Beijing Division and is the most important to Li Zicheng." The city wall of Yanmen Pass is not as high as Ningwu, there are not enough people in the pass, and some critical passes around it must be taken care of, once Li Zicheng gathers a large army to desperately attack Yanmen Pass, the consequences will be unimaginable! It is estimated that Li Zicheng must have begun to prepare for the attack on Yanmen Pass, this Ningwu Pass has General Wang and the boss stationed here, with the boss's respect, understanding of military affairs, and General Wang's bravery, how can Ningwu Pass be lost! ”

Everyone loves to listen to touting, Cai Maode is no exception, Zhou Huchen is saying that he knows the army and is completely able to sit in Ningwuguan, he is completely assured. Cai Maode bowed his head slightly, what Zhou Huchen said was reasonable, very reasonable, this Ningwu Pass is indeed a city with high walls and thick walls, plus sufficient personnel and materials that are constantly being transported, it is indeed difficult to be broken in a short period of time. Zhou Huchen's guess that Li Zicheng would attack Yanmen Pass first should be correct, and it is reasonable to go for reinforcements.

Enjoying the fluttering, Cai Maode agreed: "It's okay, Yanmen is a barrier to the Beijing Division, and there is no room for loss!" Xiaohu go, Ning Wu will be handed over to the old man. ”

"Then please sir! Look, we might starve Li Zicheng to death! ”

"Starve Li Zicheng" Cai Maode was a little ignorant of Zhou Huchen's words.

"All the warehouses outside Ningwu Pass have been dispersed except for us to take them to Ningwu Pass, Li Zicheng has always been supplied on the spot, how much food can he bring? Hundreds of thousands of troops, what do I see him eating? As long as we hold on, we will not lack provisions, and as long as it is long enough, I will let him starve to death in Shanxi. Zhou Huchen was laughing, and the smile was very sinister, which made Cai Maode can't help but think of what he had been put on the table.

"Li Zicheng will poison the people everywhere, how innocent are the people! It's going to be trouble again! Cai Maode shook his head lightly and sighed.

Zhou Huchen put his hand: "Then Li Zicheng has the final say, robbing the people's grain, Li Zicheng will completely lose the support of the people, and besides, the people's food is estimated to be hidden, maybe it is hidden in the mountains." Li Zicheng is robbing, and it is estimated that he can't grab much, and hundreds of thousands of people's food depends on robbing the people's food to maintain, how many days can they eat? ”

It is of course impossible to starve Li Zicheng to death, this is just a metaphor. But as long as these two important passes are held, so that Li Zicheng will not be able to attack for a long time, and for a long time, Li Zicheng is afraid that he will be really hungry, hungry and unscrupulous in foraging for food everywhere.

"The court is important, the old man will naturally not let the thief succeed, Xiaohu can take care of himself, rest assured!" The prospect described by Zhou Hu was so wonderful that Cai Maode was so excited that he waved his sleeves with satisfaction, leaving no cloud and drifting away.

Outside Ningwu Pass is already Li Zicheng's world, Zhou Huchen can only lead his troops along the wall of the inner Great Wall to Yanmen Pass, although the Great Wall is narrower, but overall there will not be much difficulty. Ningwu Pass was a hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass, and two days later, 10,000 soldiers carrying various weapons and ammunition arrived at Yanmen Pass under the leadership of Zhou Huchen. In addition to Jian Chen, there were also Wu Yunguan, a thousand households in the artillery battalion, Meng Yun, who had newly joined the artillery battalion, and Guo Ziqing, a hundred households in the fire battalion, and others.

At this time, Li Zicheng's army outside Yanmen Pass was still nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Yuji was a little surprised and puzzled, he had just come to Yanmen Pass, and his son chased after him, which made him a little surprised.

"I have received a report that Li Zicheng will let the army attack Yanmen Pass first, there are not enough troops here, and it is the most important pass to the Beijing Division, so I will hurry up."

Zhou Huchen can't say that he knows this history, so he can only find such a reason. In fact, he didn't care whether he lost Yanmen Pass or not, he was afraid that his cheap father would have an accident, and he was also afraid that his soldiers would suffer heavy losses.

This explanation is reasonable enough, since he is here, Ning Wuguan's soldiers are full of food, and Zhou Yuji has nothing to say.

On the second day after Zhou Huchen came to Yanmen Pass, the sky suddenly changed, and there were sparse snowflakes in the evening.

On the third day, the snow was still falling and the earth was already silvery white. Just after noon, the scouts finally came with a warning that Li Zicheng's army had appeared, and there were very, very many people.
