Fan Wencheng, the word Xiandou, Liaodong Shenyang, was admitted to Xiucai at the age of 18, in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the Jin army conquered Fushun, Fan and his brother took the initiative to see Nurhachi, and surrendered their allegiance.

In the hearts of the Fan brothers, they think that they are the master of the Ming Dynasty and the pursuit of fame and fortune, and in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are traitors and traitors who have defected to the enemy.

Fan Wencheng just untied the rattail braid, put on a hat, simply disguised himself, took the guards, escorted a few trucks as a businessman, and swaggered into the Hongkou Mountain fortress.

After Fan Wencheng entered the city, he went straight to the Tongfu Grocery Store, which was one of the branches of Shanxi Fan's in Hongshankou City, and the steward was startled when he saw Fan Wencheng, and hurriedly welcomed people into the store, took them to the back hall to discuss matters, and told several bodyguards to be on strict guard.

Fan Wencheng and Shanxi Fan's eight poles were not able to play together, but in order to make a lot of money, Shanxi Fan's often smuggled contraband such as iron ore and grain out of the customs and sold them to Jinren, which needed a safe and reliable way, and Fan Wencheng used Shanxi Fan's road to collect intelligence, and also needed grain, grass and iron ore or something, both sides out of interest considerations, and they were both surnamed Fan, and they were a family five hundred years ago, so they made up a family.

Shanxi Eight Families are not only allies because of interests, but also have common aspirations and goals, although their relationship does not dare to be said to be completely monolithic, but it is N times stronger than all covenants, although Tongfu Groceries is under the banner of the Fan family branch, in fact, it represents the eight families, the branch manager has great power, and some major matters can be decided by themselves.

Fan Wencheng's request made the steward a little headache, Zhang Wanchun, the general in charge of guarding the Hongshan Pass, did not accept all kinds of filial piety from the Fan family, and even his favorite concubines were from the Fan family, and any military intelligence in the fortress could be obtained, but it was a bit difficult to say that Zhang Wanchun surrendered, unless he paid a price that was enough to make Zhang Wanchun tempted.

"Two days later, make an appointment to meet him in the Drunken Immortal Tower."

Fan Wencheng arranged specific matters, he was sure to persuade Zhang Wanchun to surrender, even if Zhang Wanchun refused to surrender, he would not be able to help him at that time, he had a backhand, Hongshankou must be taken, he was boasting about Haikou in front of Huang Taiji, otherwise wouldn't it be a trip in vain?

In the Fan family, Fan Wencheng is equivalent to the identity of the deputy patriarch, and the head of the family has to let him have eight or nine points, how dare the steward have any objections, while arranging for Fan Wencheng and others to live, he gathers people and makes all kinds of preparations for the start.

At noon on the third day, Zhang Wanchun took a few personal soldiers to Zuixianlou to make an appointment, after getting Fan Wencheng's promised high-ranking officials Houlu conditions, Zhang Wanchun chose to surrender, he also couldn't help it, if he didn't surrender, he would be chopped into meat by more than a dozen masters brought by Fan Wencheng.

A Jin army has long been ambushed outside the city, as soon as the city gate is opened, immediately poured into the city, smoothly took over the city defense, and the original history is slightly different is a little accident, a small colonel named Yuan Chonghu suddenly let go of the cold arrow to injure the Jin army generals led by the cold, and then with a few soldiers who are unwilling to reduce the gold galloped wildly, escaped from the Hongshan Pass.

"Give me chase!" Fan Wencheng was so angry that his face turned pale, it was a perfect achievement, but he was disturbed by a sudden accident, and everyone was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

A group of Jin cavalry chased wildly, one was to avenge the main general, and the other was to block the news that Hongshankou had fallen.

Yuan Chonghu is a scout colonel, often crosses the border to reconnoitre, and has encounters with the scouts of the Jin army, most of his brothers are killed, and they are replaced by batch after batch, and he has long hated the Jin army to the bone, and he would rather die in battle than surrender.

Yuan Chonghu took a few brothers from the scout camp to run away on horseback, behind him was the Jin army cavalry team in hot pursuit, the famous horse was rich in horses outside the pass, the speed was fast, the Jin people were a nation that grew up on horseback, good at riding and shooting, and gradually chased close to Yuan Chonghu and others, they chased while releasing arrows, there were two brothers in the scout camp who were unlucky, fell off the horse with arrows, and were trampled into meat cakes by rumbling iron hooves.

"Brothers, hold on." Yuan Chonghu cheered up his brothers while turning around to shoot arrows, he was born in Orion, and his archery skills were quite good, but when he shot arrows on horseback, he missed his accuracy and was just a psychological comfort.

"Ah......h

A miserable scream sounded, an unlucky scout was hit by an arrow in the back, screamed and fell off the horse, under the action of inertia, his body rolled on the mud ground seven or eight times before stopping, he was already dying, and a chasing Jin soldier raised his spear, ending his pain.

At this moment, the ping-pong gunshots suddenly rang out, and a cloud of choking gunpowder floated on the small hillside on both sides of the road, and the golden soldiers chasing behind screamed and fell from their horses, most of them were war horses neighing, or people stood up, or ran forward frantically, and then fell down with a bang, and the golden soldiers on their backs were either thrown away or pressed under the horses, making an earth-shattering and miserable howl.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"

The remaining Jin soldiers reacted, let out panicked screams, and turned their horses' heads to run, but on both sides of the hillside, ping-pong guns rang out again, and the dense rain of bullets formed a death net, shooting the remaining few Jin soldiers and horses out of the honeycomb.

The sudden change startled Yuan Chonghu and several other scouts, and when they saw that there were two rows of black holes on the slopes on both sides of the official road, the muzzles of the guns were pointed at them, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly reined in their horses, threw away the weapons in their hands, and raised their hands.

It's not that I haven't seen the bird or something, it's scary to see the cow pen coaxing, but on the battlefield, I feel that the power is not good, the table tennis is happy, the sound is very scary, but I didn't see the Jin soldiers fall, it feels like a cannon battle during the Spring Festival, and it is useless to hear.

But the gunfire just now was coherent and intensive, killing a whole squad of Jin soldiers, and suddenly subverted Yuan Chonghu and others' views on muskets, who is so accurate in marksmanship? So much firepower?

Seeing a group of people dressed in strange costumes and wearing some strange things on their backs, but looking at the simple and mighty big men rushing from both sides of the hillside, holding a tube of muskets at them, Yuan Chonghu and the other scouts were nervous and curious.

Under the pressure of the musket, Yuan Chonghu and the others dismounted honestly and were brought to a young man who looked like a general.

"Who are you?" The young general pointed at Yuan Chonghu and the others with a short bamboo stick in his hand, he was also dressed in strange gray-black clothes, wearing a few leather belts on his body, and in addition to hanging a sheathed long sword on his left waist, he also hung a large leather leather bag, and he didn't know what it was.

Yuan Chonghu honestly reported his identity, and presented his waist card as proof, and incidentally said that Zhang Wanchun surrendered to the enemy.

"I'm forked, I'm still a step slower when I'm in a hurry day and night......" The general of Gao Yuqing patted his thigh, with a look of chagrin, and scolded and complained, but his tone and attitude were much more polite to Yuan Chonghu and others.

They are the scout battalion of the wolf battalion, responsible for exploring the way ahead, the short bamboo stick in Gao Yuqing's hand is actually a monocular, and the general of the scout battalion has a clairtelescope, and only the three new armies enjoy this treatment.

Gao Yuqing saw Yuan Chonghu and others being chased and killed by the Jin soldiers from a distance through the monoculars, so he set up an ambush on the side of the road and killed all the Jin soldiers who were chasing.

Knowing the identity of Gao Yuqing and others, Yuan Chonghu and others were surprised and delighted, and were willing to lead the way, detour around the Hongshan Pass from the trail, and take the Jin soldiers to recapture the Hongshan Pass.

"Let's report to the commander-in-chief first......"

Gao Yuqing smiled bitterly, it's not that he doesn't want to make meritorious contributions, it's just that he wants to sneak attack Hongkou Mountain just by virtue of the thirty or so people in his hands? That's not how the joke goes. Moreover, they are scouts, in the words of the Son of Heaven, they are special troops, and they carry out special military training, which is stricter and crueler than ordinary soldiers, and of course, the treatment is much better than that of ordinary soldiers.
