Chapter 625 - Entering the Herringbone Pass
Chapter 625 Entering the Ringbone Pass (Second Update)
After everything was settled, Lei Yaotian took the Xiaoqi battalion out of the capital and went straight to the herringbone pass thirty miles west of Beijing.
"Overseer, the cavalry battalion only has 10,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, can it resist at the herringbone level?"
Sitting on the war horse, Feng Qingyang asked a little strangely.
In his opinion, with such a small number of people, he can't resist it for long.
You know, there are as many as 60,000 rebel forwards alone.
"Father-in-law, don't worry. With these 12,000 people, not to mention the 60,000 rebels, even if it is a 160,000 rebel army, we can withstand it. When you get to the herringbone level, you will know everything. ”
After Lei Yaotian said a word to Feng Qingyang with a relaxed smile, he shook the reins in his hand and urged the horse to run forward.
"Hurry up, everyone, we're going to get to the herringbone pass in an hour."
Lei Yaotian rode his horse and galloped wildly, while shouting loudly.
"The cavalry will follow me, and the infantry will arrive before midnight."
Feng Qingyang looked at Lei Yaotian's back roaring away, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
The herringbone pass is not a fortified fortress, how can it be held.
Feng Qingyang couldn't figure it out, "Okay, just wait and have a look over there." ”。
Monica and Slaughter slowly moved along with the infantry.
In addition to the 12,000 people in the Xiaocai Battalion, Lei Yaotian also brought 3,000 Jinyi guards from the two factories this time.
And among the 3,000 Jinyiwei of the two factories, there are 500 Jinyiwei who are genetic people.
It can be said that if the herringbone pass really can't be kept, with the 500 gene human brocade guard, Lei Yaotian and they will definitely be able to get out.
What's more, there are masters like Feng Qingyang, and at the same time, they are not flat and cong do not give up, and they will follow the army without worry.
The herringbone pass is the only way to the capital from the Great Wilderness Mountain Range of the Western Barrier of Beijing.
Two paths that wind over the cliff converge at the end to form a large road, which just forms a 'herringbone' shape, hence the name of the herringbone pass.
The herringbone pass, which happens to be located at the confluence point of two paths winding on the cliff, can be said to occupy the geography in an authentic way.
The two paths, with a steep mountain wall on one side and an abyss on the other, were so many paths that there were only five people walking side by side, and no more than one could possibly be.
At this time, the "door" was closed in front of the herringbone gate, and the people in ragged clothes with their families knelt in front of the herringbone pass, begging and crying.
These refugees are lined up on two cliff paths, and there is no end in sight.
Lei Yaotian rode his horse into the herringbone pass, found the guards stationed here, and took over the military power here.
"Take your soldiers immediately, retreat to the capital and belong to the Soldiers and Horses, and the herringbone will belong to our cavalry battalion."
This defender is eager to leave the herringbone pass, you must know that with the 600 defenders of the herringbone pass, if you want to hold the offensive of 60,000 rebels, it is simply a joke.
Fortunately, Lei Yaotian didn't know what this guard thought, otherwise he would really be able to give him two big mouths.
In the face of such a dangerous terrain at the herringbone pass, it is enough for six hundred people to defend this place.
Coming to the pass of the herringbone pass, Lei Yaotian looked at the terrain here, and he had a bottom in his heart.
"There are more than 10,000 people, as long as you are not an idiot, there is no problem in holding this pass for a year, and you will not lose your troops."
However, when Lei Yaotian saw the refugees outside the pass, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
"Master Jun, Kai Grace, let us go, we are also the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"Master Jun, Master Jun, my mother is sick, let us go."
"Oh my God, we don't want to be thieves, do we end up like this!"
"Mother! Mother! Mother! ”
"Fuwa, Fuwa!"
The sound of crying, noise, and ringing under the herringbone off.
"Why don't you let them pass, these people are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. Do they have to let the rebels coerce them into thieves, or be killed by the rebels? ”
Lei Yaotian looked at the guards who followed him with an angry face.
The guard had already asked his subordinates to gather the soldiers, and he could leave this hellish place anyway, so what else did he have to worry about.
And the person who came this time was the red man in the court, Lord Lei.
How could he not serve carefully, if the Great Governor Lei was happy, wouldn't he be able to soar.
Looking at Lei Yaotian's angry face, the general's heart was abrupt.
He hurriedly knelt down and kept looking at Lei Yaotian 'Peng! Peng! At the same time, he replied: "The Overseer is aware that it is not that the last general will not let these refugees pass, but that some time ago, there were rebels who were 'mixed' among the refugees and wanted to seize us. Fortunately, he was found out by the general's subordinates, and finally killed, but he also paid for the "life" of twelve soldiers. ”
Speaking of this, the general couldn't help choking up.
"Therefore, the last general is worried that among these refugees, there may still be rebels, so he has to order the pass to be closed, and I hope that the overseer will see it."
After the general finished speaking, some of the soldiers who had been stationed here who had heard what he said echoed one after another.
"Yes, Overseer, it's not that we don't want the refugees to pass, it's that we don't dare."
It's likely that one person says that is false, but if everyone says that, it is not necessarily.
"Where is the corpse of the slain man?"
It can't just be that they say and Lei Yaotian can take a look.
The general hurriedly asked the soldiers to bring a few corpses from the side.
Judging by the bloodstains on the corpses, they had indeed just been killed.
"Well, I know what you're struggling with. But these refugees can't be left alone, after all, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, so let's just leave them alone. ”
Lei Yaotian frowned.
"You hurry back to Beijing, don't pay attention to the affairs here, and now that the Governor has taken over, then the Governor will arrange it."
With Lei Yaotian waving his hand, the general retreated.
At this time, the soldiers who were originally stationed here were also assembled and exited the herringbone pass in a neat row.
From now on, the herringbone pass was officially taken over by Lei Yaotian.
The 2,000 cavalry were arranged behind the herringbone pass, and Lei Yaotian stood alone on the pass and looked at the refugees on the two cliffs below, feeling very uncomfortable.
Even though they're all indigenous, it's the same thing if you can't see them.
But, after all, these people are right in front of his eyes, if he doesn't pay attention to them at all, is he still a human being?
It's good to be a plane businessman, but he's also a person.
It is a man of flesh and blood.
These natives are people of the lower world, but they are also living beings after all.
About two hours later, the infantry of the brigade arrived, and all of them were stationed in the herringbone pass.
In the huge herringbone camp, even if 10,000 infantry troops are stationed, it seems very empty.
"It's really beneficial to build a herringbone here."
After Lei Yaotian sighed, he immediately transferred three thousand fans, and then opened the pass.
"You all have bright spots in your eyes, don't let the fine sakus 'mix' over." , Lei Yaotian explained very seriously.
As the brocade guards of the two factories, they are definitely better at screening than those soldiers, after all, they are doing such things.
The 3,000 people lined up in a vertical row, leaving only one aisle for one person to walk, and then letting the refugees pass through one by one.
When passing, the brocade guards had to strictly check their hands, as well as some hidden places.
There is a fundamental difference between a peasant and a rich man and a man who begs for a living with a knife all day long.
Even the slightest subtlety can make him "exposed".
A thousand genetic people were placed on the walls of the pass as a war preparation to prevent the theft of the city.
Although strict inspections will slow down the movement of refugees, it will open a way and give them hope for life.
Therefore, these refugees also honestly followed the rules, but it was not a big deal to check it.
Rather than being trapped here, let the family check it out.
As long as you can live, what is this?
"Roll up your sleeves and show your hands."
An elderly woman in her fifties was stopped by a brocade guard and asked her to show her hands.
The old woman shuddered for a moment, and then looked at the brocade guard with great fear, as if she was frightened, and did not react at all.
A young man came over behind him, "We are from Los Angeles in the northwest, and our ancestors are all bitter with their backs to the loess haha, my mother is the first time to see an official like you, and I am a little overwhelmed, please forgive me." ”
The young man kept laughing and saluting with his fists.
"Show me your hands."
The brocade guard was expressionless, just staring at the old woman, and at the same time his right hand was already on the hilt of the knife.
The old woman came back to her senses, and slowly pulled her sleeve upward, revealing her thin palm.
Beside this brocade guard, another brocade guard walked out, and the brocade guard walked over and stretched out his hand to "touch" the palm of the old woman's hand.
The brocade guard slowly retreated, "The tiger's mouth is cocooned, and the palm is thick and stiff." is not a farmer, obviously a practitioner. As the brocade guard said two words, a cold glint appeared in the eyes of the old woman.
Swish! Swish!
Two hidden weapons flew out of her cuffs, and they "excited" and "shot" with the strength of breaking the wind.
"Hah! I know that you are a practitioner, you walk equally, your breath is long, and you are pretending to be too bad. ”
Jingle Bell!
With the embroidered "spring" knife in hand, the two brocade guards pushed away the hidden weapon, and one of the brocade guards shouted loudly.
"Kill on the spot!"
Lei Yaotian saw the chaos over there, and immediately spit out a few words lightly.
As soon as Lei Yaotian's words fell, Wild Slaughter couldn't wait to rush out.
"Let's die to grandpa!"
