Shuzhou, Yinping Road, Motianling.

Wei Ban stands in front of a stone wall, the stone wall is like a screen mirror, standing on the top of the Sky Ridge, the north slope of the Sky Ridge is gentle, the south side is a cliff, there is no road to do.

Behind Wei Ban were five thousand armor soldiers, who followed Wei Ban up from Lingbei and then down from Lingnan. After crossing the Ferris Ridge in this way, you can go straight to the Jiangyou Pass and force the city.

Huang Shuiquan stood beside Wei Ban, seemed to be a little absent-minded, and said softly: "The prince's side has begun to attack the city. ”

Wei Ban snorted.

Huang Shuiquan continued: "We need to speed up the progress. ”

Wei Ban didn't speak, but drew his saber, he was taught by Wei Chi by his side since he was a child, and he wrote well, even if he carved words with a knife, he could be like a dragon and snake, and he could write four big characters on the stone wall in front of him.

Huang Shuiquan glanced at it and read: "Wei has forbidden this. ”

Wei Ban looked at the masterpiece on the stone wall, and suddenly laughed, if it was a success this time, I am afraid that he could also make a name for himself in history with this move.

It's not my wish to be a marquis, I just want to leave a name in history.

Although Wei Ban is a martial artist, he has been under the influence of his uncle since he was a child, and he is more eager to make contributions and leave a name in history, so he will put forward the bold plan of stealing over Yinping.

Wei Ban smiled: "Wei Ban Wei Wen is here, if there is a latecomer, you should see my name." ”

Wei Ban said in a deep voice: "Pass on my military order, first will carry military weapons and jump down, and then those with felt shirts will roll down with felt, and those without felt shirts will be tied with ropes, climb trees and hang trees, and fish will go through." Strive to cross the Sky Ridge before sunset!"

Behind him, Captain Qingjun answered his promise.

Huang Shuiquan stood aside and didn't say much. Although he is a master of heaven and man, Wei Ban is the chief official, and all he has to do is to protect Wei Ban from death.

Wei Ban took a deep breath, wrapped himself in a felt blanket, and rolled down from the Sky Ridge. Behind him were the lieutenants and lieutenants, followed by five thousand armor soldiers.

Fucheng, the prefect's yamen.

Tang Yong, who was also the prefect and the garrison, wandered back and forth in his study, and there was always a trace of indelible uneasiness in his heart about the battle at Jianmen Pass ahead. And he himself didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

There was also a gentle woman sitting on the side, that is, Tang Yong's wife and Tang Yong's cousin, who was born in the Zheng family of the Shuzhou clan, and when she saw her husband like this, she couldn't help frowning and said: "Husband, if you have anything on your mind, you might as well talk to the concubine." ”

Tang Yong smiled bitterly: "What's the use of telling you, what I'm worried about for my husband is the battle at Jianmen Pass, and now the Northwest Army is knocking on the pass again and again, although Jianmen Pass is known as the first dangerous pass in the world, but it may not be captured by the Northwest Army one day, and then the entire Shu land will have no danger to defend, and Fucheng will bear the brunt!"

Zheng Shi gently persuaded him: "The Sword Pavilion is so dangerous, how can it be so easy to overcome, don't think so much." ”

Tang Yong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how dangerous the Sword Gate Pass is, it depends on who will defend it, although I don't know about military affairs, but I also know that the real division of a hundred battles is to fight out with a knife and a gun on the battlefield, and the Northwest Army has been stationed at the border pass for many years, and it can definitely be called a division of a hundred battles." ”

Speaking of this, a hint of ridicule appeared on Tang Yong's face, "But on the other hand, our Shuzhou army, the old, weak, sick, and disabled are all accounted for, and the generals at all levels are even more desperate to eat empty salaries, drink the blood of soldiers, and can fight back and forth with bandits and robbers on weekdays, such an army, if it is not for a sword gate in front of it, I am afraid that it does not even have the courage to face the northwest army." ”

Zheng got up and walked to her husband's side, pressed him gently on the chair, and rubbed his temples with a pair of soft stalks, "It's a big deal, let's go back to Jincheng." ”

Tang Yong snorted lightly, "I'm going back to Jincheng like this, and I won't let the old ancestor pick my skin." ”

Zheng's pair of charming eyebrows furrowed slightly, lowered his head to her husband's ear, and said in a low voice: "If it really comes to that point, we might as well ...... Down?"

Tang Yong got up abruptly and looked at his wife with wide eyes.

Zheng was taken aback by her husband's appearance, and said timidly: "The major families in Shuzhou are all in private series, just wait for the arrival of the Northwest Wang's army, and they will open the door to welcome Wang Shi, don't you always say what the general trend is, according to the concubine's body, this is the general trend." ”

"Shut up!" Tang Yong's face was hideous, and his voice revealed a calm that seemed to be before the storm: "The major families are colluding in private? Where is my Tang family in place? Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier!?"

Zheng said with a crying voice: "It's my father who won't let me say it, he said that the big ship in Shuzhou is going to capsize, and the Tang family at the helm is going to die with the ship, we can't stop it, and if a boat capsizes, someone must come out to bear the loss......"

Tang Yong's face was uncertain.

He was silent for a moment, then strode out of the study.

After he walked away, Zheng's expression gradually returned to calm, and then Mance took out an embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve in an orderly manner, gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Husband, the concubine is for your good." Since you don't appreciate it, don't blame the concubine for being ruthless. ”

In the night, the five thousand armor soldiers finally crossed the Sky Ridge and walked out of the Yinping Road.

Wei Ban looked at Jiangyouguan, which was already in sight, his face was resolute, and he said calmly: "Siege." ”

On the seventh night of October in the first year of Jianwen, the commander of Hanoi Prefecture commanded Jiadu to command Wei Ban, led 5,000 armor soldiers, secretly crossed Yinping, and went straight to the Shuzhou Jiangyou Pass.

One hundred Daozong special rockets fired in unison, burning all the defensive facilities at the south gate of Jiangyou Pass, and at the same time blowing up the gate of Jiangyou Pass, the guards of the south gate of Jiangyou Pass were extremely frightened, and in the night, they could not see how many enemy soldiers there were, and they could not organize effective resistance at all.

Jiangyou guards will spend a nightmare night, when the rocket began to bombard, the entire south gate tower completely collapsed, he woke up from the bed, and hurriedly rushed to the south city gate with his own soldiers, but before he arrived there, the Shu army that fled from the south gate blocked the way, they were smoky one by one, one by one panicked, and at the same time brought a news that made him collapse, the south gate fell, and the northwest army entered the city!

After hearing the news, the Jiangyou guard was dark, so he didn't turn his back on it, and when he came to his senses, he didn't dare to go to the south gate again, but beckoned his soldiers to flee towards the north gate.

Wei Ban did not spend a single soldier to capture Jiangyou Pass.

After Wei Ban rested in Jiangyou Pass for a night, on the second day, only 1,000 people were left to defend the city, and he led 4,000 soldiers and horses to take Fucheng directly.

The defender of Fucheng, Tang Yong, will never surrender and defend the city with a thousand soldiers. Wei Ban ordered a strong attack, personally supervised the battle, four thousand northwest armor soldiers braved the rain of arrows, rolling stones, and sassal wood, and attacked the city with the force of ants, from early morning to dusk, hundreds of people were killed, and the defense of Fucheng City was already crumbling.

At the end of the day, the siege equipment taken out of the Jiangyouguan arsenal was transported to the battlefield, and the officers and soldiers defending the city of Fucheng no longer had the slightest fighting spirit.

Wei Ban, who was wearing dark armor, looked at the head of Fucheng City, and said coldly to Captain Qingjun beside him: "Send someone to surrender and tell Tang Yong that if he surrenders, I can keep his whole family safe, and if he doesn't surrender, when the city is broken, it will also be the time when he dies." ”

Captain Qingjun took the order and left.

A Northwest armorer without a sword went to the city to shout, and Tang Yong, who was standing at the head of the city, ordered to shoot this person left and right.

The Northwest Sergeant was shot through the head with an arrow.

Wei Ban's face was expressionless, and he raised the horsewhip in his hand high.

At this moment, a lieutenant general standing beside Tang Yong burst out and stabbed Tang Yong in the lower abdomen. The defenseless Tang Yong was stabbed through by this knife, and looked at this confidant lieutenant who was also his brother-in-law in disbelief.

The adjutant general laughed in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, don't blame me for being ruthless, my sister is kind enough to persuade you, but you are obsessed, then I have to give you a ride." ”

Tang Yong's throat opened hoarsely, and blood continued to flow out.

The deputy general drew his knife, kicked Tang Yong off the city, and then said to his side: "Open the city gate." ”

The gate of Fucheng was opened from the inside, and only 600 soldiers were left to kneel and surrender.

Wei Ban, who was dressed in iron armor, led the army into the city, slowly climbed to the top of the city, looked at the direction of Jianmen Pass, and said softly: "Half of Shuzhou has returned to the northwest." ”
