Li Yu's speculation made Yang Jing feel frightened, not because Wang Daoming regarded him as a chess piece, in fact, he was also a fan of the authorities, and if he cared about it, he would be chaotic.

Since Wang Daoming chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, he will not have too much ** for power, and the reason why he hopes to push Yang Jing to the pinnacle of power is only for the sake of the people and the Great Song Dynasty.

People like him have transcended the realm, and they have long regarded things like power and wealth as dung.

Maybe his purpose is more simple, he just wants to try it and see if his imperial technique can change his life against the sky and create a new son of heaven!

Of course, Yang Jing didn't blame the master for this, no matter how you think about it, this matter didn't hurt Yang Jing in any way, and Master Wang Daoming didn't have any selfish intentions.

It's just that Yang Jing has always resisted the matter of rebellion, because he knows the limits of his ability, and he also knows that this kind of thing can only bring more pain to the people.

But at the same time, he also understands that if he is reluctant to dig up the rotten sores on his body, sooner or later he will be dragged to death by the rotten sores, and he will not stand until he breaks them, and many times he needs to endure the pain to make some changes, and it is impossible to succeed without paying blood and price.

Just as he made the decision now, in front of the big picture and these thousands of sergeants, he chose the latter, there was no right or wrong, only inner trade-offs.

He can't choose to make up for Jia Nidao's mistakes because of Jia Nidao's weakness, and watch tens of thousands of soldiers sacrifice to resist the Mongols!

The warriors of the Black Sky Tribe are extremely familiar with the terrain, and there is almost no resistance in Chang'an Mansion, and what makes people feel uneasy is that Chen Shoudu's rebels also did not have much movement!

This is Chen Shoudu's lair, which is said to be the most heavily guarded place, but even the rebel scouts are rarely seen, which is enough to explain the problem!

I am afraid that Zhang Changling has already led the army to attack the Meihe Pass, and the rebels have rushed to the aid of this fortress, which has led to the emptiness of the hinterland!

Yang Jing was worried, Wang Daoming was also very understanding, and kept hurrying until it was dark, even if he was a tribal warrior, he didn't dare to walk in the jungle at night, so he stopped to rest.

Yang Jing couldn't sleep, and in the second half of the night, the Tai scouts rushed back, and Yang Jing couldn't see, so he asked Li Yu to read the reply.

Zhang Changling was really attacking the Meihe Pass, but at this time, he was attacked by the enemy, in front of him was the Mongols who were bombarding indiscriminately, and behind him were Chen Shoudu's defenders.

If it weren't for the Divine Fire Battalion's reliance on the power of the musket, the enemy would have been completely wiped out long ago!

Yang Jing hurriedly went to see Wang Daoming, and after showing him the secret letter, the tribal warriors finally stopped staying and began to rush overnight, quickly reinforcing Zhang Changling's people!

Twenty miles outside the Mehe Pass, the rebels had begun to increase, so Wang Daoming asked the team to slow down the speed, but whenever they encountered rebel scouts, they must be killed on the spot no matter what, and their whereabouts must not be revealed!

Yang Jing didn't know much about specific tactics, so Wang Daoming happened to give orders while teaching Yang Jing these knowledge of warfare.

Wang Daoming was originally a Taoist giant, and he should not have much experience in warfare, but every order he gave was done in accordance with the trend, strict and reasonable, what kind of level it was in theory, Yang Jing couldn't say well, but the effect was surprisingly good.

After approaching the pass for ten miles, a large number of rebels had already begun to appear, Wang Daoming discussed with Yang Jing and others, and then sent people to gather more than a dozen warriors of large and small tribes such as Hongmian, intending to launch a surprise attack on the rebels after dark to relieve the pressure of Zhang Changling and others.

The people of those tribes continued to gather in one place, and Yang Jing also saw how huge Wang Daoming's appeal was.

You must know that they are only the natives of the tribe, and the rebels are officers and soldiers to them, and they are the court, but they did not hesitate to join the queue without any hesitation!

The land of Dayue was already full of disasters and wars, even in later generations, and there were few days of peace.

In this environment, their people are extremely belligerent and warlike, and they also look at life and death very lightly, and the concept of the country is even weaker, and they only care about the sense of national identity.

When Yang Jing was still waiting for reinforcements, Zhang Changling and the others were already riding tigers!

Although they have captured the Mehe Pass, this fortress is very old, and it is still possible to prevent the rebels, and it is quite reluctant to resist the large siege equipment of the Mongols, especially the artifact of the return cannon.

As explained earlier, this return cannon was originally a large catapult, throwing boulders to attack targets and destroy cities, which is invincible.

After the Mongols improved, they began to use fires on the return cannon, filled with large rattan balls such as straw and fire oil, and even stone bullets, flowering bombs such as earth-shaking thunder, etc., and the return cannon also became a kind of siege weapon that the Mongols relied on the most.

In the face of such siege equipment, coupled with countless Mongolian troops, and Chen Shoudu's rebels who are constantly harassing and raiding behind them, Zhang Changling's troops can't support it for long at all!

Although they dug up a lot of bantam cannons from the mudslide, the loss of gunpowder was very serious, and the gunners of the Shenhuo battalion were about to run out of ammunition and food.

Many have begun to waver.

They once thought that with the tap musket, they would be invincible in the world, and they had witnessed the miracle created by the Divine Fire Camp.

But they also already knew that Jia Yidao had already begun to negotiate peace with Chen Shoudu and discuss how to trade.

It is also conceivable how big the resentment in their hearts is.

Although the Zhuang barbarians are fierce, they are just mercenaries, although they are used to the days of licking blood with knives, but this battle is tantamount to death, if it were not for the sake of abiding by the agreement with Yang Jing, they would have stopped doing it a long time ago.

This primitive and simple spirit of contract, which is not hesitant to defend with one's life, is quite commendable, both at that time and in later generations.

Literati often advertise what they promise, but Jia Nidao, as the head of the civil officials, betrayed his promise and negotiated peace with the enemy after Yang Jing suffered and disappeared.

On the contrary, these Zhuang barbarians who don't know a single big word are defending a verbal agreement between Yang Jing and them with their lives!

However, in the face of life and death, everyone will be afraid, their will will will be shaken, and they even want to abandon the pass and run away.

It's a pity that now there are Mongolian tigers in front of them and rebel wolves in the back, and they can't fly at all!

The so-called death and then life, in such a situation, they can only fight to the death, everyone is a hot-blooded man, has won battles, and has killed many enemies, do you want to give up on yourself, and the stake is generally led to the neck to kill?

No!

Since they dared to come here, they had already made sufficient mental preparations, especially under the leadership of the jade-faced Yaksha Zhang Changling!

Today, they withstood more than a dozen waves of attacks, but the brothers are also dying at a rapid pace, and the supplies are even more consumed, and it is difficult to continue!

The Mongols did not do it, they probably wanted to preserve their strength, to accumulate strength for the conquest after passing the pass, and they would withdraw their troops after dark.

But this is Chen Shoudu's lair, this old man can't swallow this breath, the rebels are familiar with the way, and they launched surprise attacks three or four times at night, either setting fire, or sending cold arrows, or suddenly drilling out and killing, it is simply a suicide sneak attack!

Zhang Changling and the brothers hadn't looked at each other for several days and nights, and many of them were assassinated by the rebels when they were dozing!

Their spirit is highly tense, and people are about to be driven crazy, but they can't fight and can't fight, they can't escape, everyone can only grit their teeth, squeeze the last bit of energy and will, and support it hard!

Late at night, Zhang Changling and Li Lin'an were on duty in the city as always, and the others could take turns to rest, but the two of them never stopped.

Their military rations have long been eaten up, fortunately, there is still food for the defenders in the pass of the Mehe Pass, but they are not used to eating it at all, and most of this grain has rotted, and they are afraid of spoiling their stomachs and intestines if they eat it, so many people are starving next to each other.

If the fire was lit at the head of the city, it would become a living target for the rebels, and everyone rested in the dark night, trembling, holding the muskets, not daring to sleep, for fear that if they closed their eyes, the rebels would be assassinated.

Li Lin'an's people knew the rebels very well, and they were also the outermost guard sentinels, but unfortunately their losses were too serious, and there was not one out of ten.

Now it is the Zhuang barbarians who are on alert, these barbarians are very strong in combat, the soldiers of the Shenhuo Battalion have muskets, maybe more powerful than the barbarians, but in terms of survival skills and will, they are not even comparable to the barbarians.

The brutes did not have any requirements for food, as if no matter how rotten it was, as long as it could fill their stomachs and survive, they would not hesitate to eat it, whether it was raw or cooked, their stomachs and bodies seemed to have long been adapted.

Li Linan had already become the commander of the light pole, and at this time he was leaning against the city wall, and suddenly asked Zhang Changling.

"What are you doing this for?"

Zhang Changling was silent for a long time, and then smiled bitterly: "I don't know either... I just hope that these Mongols will be farther away from the borders of my Great Song Dynasty... A little further..."

"The farther away the better..."Zhang Changling said at the end, his voice was already very slight, and Li Linan could also see the helplessness and grief on his face.

It took a long time for Zhang Changling to raise his head from the darkness, look at the dark north, and muttered to himself.

"I hope that Hou Ye will arrive in Longyuan as soon as possible and drive down the Jia Nidao who killed that day, even if we die, it will be worth it..."

When Li Linan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, but after a while, he smiled at Zhang Changling again.

"I don't think you, the marquis, will go to Longyuan City..."

Zhang Changling was slightly stunned, and was about to refute, but he couldn't speak, just hid his face in the dark, and didn't know what he was thinking.

And at this moment, there was a sudden sharp sound of whirring wind in the air!

Zhang Changling stood up suddenly, pricked up his ears to listen, and hurriedly struck the gong beside him with the head of the knife!

"Enemy attack! Hide!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

This time it was not a surprise attack by the rebels, but a frontal assault from the Mongols!

The whirring wind was a boulder projected by a catapult, and half of the battlements were smashed off with a bang, and the broken stones and bricks flew everywhere, and I don't know how many people were killed and injured in the darkness, and the wails suddenly resounded!

And at this time, the Chen Shoudu rebels behind him also began to rush over, and the Mehe Pass was like a thin piece of cardboard, suffering from an impact from the beginning to the end, and there was a possibility of collapse at any time!

Zhang Changling looked at the east and said in his heart, perhaps, he will never see the sun tomorrow again...

But when his eyes looked in the direction of that direction, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to see a flag, a familiar handsome flag!

In this dark night, how can you see that handsome flag?

It's just a hallucination...

His jade-faced Yaksha Zhang Changling is really unwilling, because he is about to be harmed by this court for the second time, maybe he will repeat the same mistakes again, just like the battle of Luoyang back then...
