In the early morning, the Tongguan guards faced the east, and vaguely saw the Jianyu joint camp for hundreds of miles, and their hearts were all panicked.

The city was silent, waiting for today's battle, and suddenly, someone began to chant poetry.

"The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road......"

Niu Jinxing recited Zhang Yanghao's famous sentences, looking like a writer.

Liu Zongmin was annoyed when he looked at him now, and said sharply: "Prime Minister Niu, don't drag any literary talents, it's good to boost the morale of everyone!" Get some crepe stuff! ”

Niu Jinxing saw that Liu Zongmin was not angry, and he was not angry, he found his own soldiers, helped himself to stand on a battlement, and said loudly:

"Tongguan is close to Zhongtiao Mountain and the Yellow River in the north, Qinling Mountains in the south, and guards the passage from the Central Plains to Guanzhong and the Western Regions.

"Shanhaiguan Chronicles" said: The danger in Jinnei, but Tongguan and Shanhaiguan are the first names. It means that Tongguan is the easiest level in the world to hold. ”

Seeing that the soldiers were listening carefully, Niu Jinxing raised his voice a little more, and shouted with all his strength:

"Tongguan has always had the reputation of 'one hundred and two passes'.

What does one hundred and two double pass mean? That is, as long as two people are guarding, they can withstand the attack of a hundred people.

Now we have the Yellow River moat in the north, and there are two natural defense lines in Tongguan Yuanwang ditch and forbidden ditch, with tens of thousands of Tartars, so there is no need to worry! ”

When the Dashun soldier heard this, there was a commotion, and his face showed a little confidence.

Niu Jinxing saw it, knew that his words had some effect, slowly got off the battlements, and walked in front of Liu Zongmin, "Master Hou, you see, the morale of our army is high!" ”

Liu Zongmin ignored him, turned around and went to the city wall, looking at the camp from afar.

Niu Venus didn't seem to change his face, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he flicked his sleeves and slowly walked down the city wall.

Seeing that there was no movement from the Tartars, knowing that they would not attack the city today, Liu Zongmin felt a little relieved.

Since being defeated by Shanhaiguan, Liu Zongmin has begun to doubt his ability, and it is even more difficult to be confident when he thinks of the repeated defeats over the years.

Now that he has been killed by Jianjiao and killed 100,000 new troops, he is desolate in his heart, if it weren't for his identity as the main general, he really wants to say to people, I don't have a score in my heart, this battle may be lost!

"Tonight, Liu Fangliang's reinforcements should arrive."

Liu Zongmin muttered to himself, as if he had regained some confidence for himself.

There was no war on this day, but the atmosphere was still tense, but fortunately, at sunset, Liu Fangliang's 20,000 elite infantry finally arrived, and Li Zicheng went out of the city to greet him.

Tongguan is delighted.

That night, Li Zicheng ordered Gao Yigong to lead 3,000 men and horses to attack the enemy camp at night.

Gao Yigong, like Li Zicheng, is a native of Mizhi County, Shaanxi, and is also the younger brother of Li Zicheng's wife, Gao Guiying. After resisting the Qing court for ten years in history, he was finally poisoned and died.

Gao Yigong received the military order, ordered the 3,000 elite cavalry in the camp, wrapped the horse's hooves in black cloth, sealed the horse's mouth, and quietly went out of the city.

Stopped 2 miles before the camp, sent 20 archers, and quietly touched it.

When the archers arrived at the gate of the camp, they carefully observed for a long time, and fired ten arrows in unison, quickly killed the camp gate tower outpost, and while quietly removing the antlers, he used his hook claws to climb over the camp wall, and went in to secretly open the camp gate.

The camp gate was opened, and a soldier blew the fire fold and sent a signal to the rear army.

Gao Yigong got the signal, was overjoyed, and rushed away with a team of 3,000.

Although the hooves of the horses were covered in cloth, the night was silent, and the 3,000 horses galloped with a loud dull sound.

Soon the soldiers of the Jianyu were alarmed, and for a while, the sound of chaos in the Jianyu camp was loud, and torches were lit everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Gao Yigong knew that Jianyu would reorganize his army for battle, and he was sure that there was no deception, so he repeatedly whipped hard and led the team to plunge into the enemy camp.

When the army entered the camp, they ran and slashed wildly, and on the other hand, they lit torches and set fire to the tents.

People rushed out of the barracks in all parts of the building, and they all ran around.

Gao Yigong was even more overjoyed when he saw the Tartar soldiers, "Leave 100 people to guard the camp gate, and the others quickly kill the Tartars!" ”

The spears of the soldiers were waved, the steel knives flashed, the heads of the camp were rolling, and the heads of the money rats were rolling in all directions.

Gao Yigong waved his knife again and again, and beheaded several people in a row, but he always felt that what was strange, after killing for so long, no one resisted, and all the Jianyu just fled with their heads in their hands?

"It's broken!"

Gao Yigong suddenly woke up, "Withdraw, there is fraud here!" Evacuate! ”

The voice was noisy, and his voice couldn't be heard at all, only a dozen people around him could hear it.

When he saw the vigorous killing of all the soldiers and the corpses all over the ground, he only felt terrified, and without saying a word, he took the lead and rushed to the camp gate.

Whoosh ......

Gao Yigong had just run not far away, and countless sounds of breaking the air sounded all around.

……

At the head of Tongguan City, seeing the red light in the distance, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, Li Zicheng clenched his fists, hammered the battlements hard, and exclaimed:

"Great, successful!"

Liu Zongmin didn't speak, just listened quietly.

In the camp, the sound of breaking the air continued, Gao Yigong's heart was beating violently, he put his body close to the horse's back, whipped the horsewhip lifelessly, and rushed out of the camp gate in a few breaths.

When the 100 men and horses guarding the camp gate heard the dense sound of arrows, they immediately knew that they had been ambushed, and they couldn't help but sigh that the prisoners were so fierce that they even shot their own people.

Seeing the main general Gao Yigong coming, he quickly fled west with him.

After walking less than 300 meters, countless ropes were thrown from the side of the road, pulling the man off the horse, and the tripping rope also rose from under the ground, tripping the horse and knocking the horse.

There are also many arrows, the distance is extremely close, as long as the arrow is hit, there is almost no chance of survival.

Gao Yigong's face is bloodless, he doesn't want anything else, he takes his riding skills to the extreme, and blindly rushes.

He knows that at this time, the black light is blind, there will be an attack somewhere, everything depends on luck, he just shoots his horse and rushes, life and death are in the sky.

Fortunately, God was not ready to accept him. By the time he rushed to the foot of Tongguan City, his clothes were already soaked.

Looking at the torches at the head of Tongguan City, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and when he looked back, there were only more than 30 people on the side.

I suddenly felt a pain, looked down, and found that I was hit by an arrow on my calf, and the arrow actually passed through the calf more than three inches, and it was released at close range.

Li Zicheng heard the sound of the horse's hooves approaching just now, thinking that it was the herald of the good news, and then hearing the horse's hooves panic, he suddenly shouted in his heart that it was not good.

When he saw more than 30 people running back, his heart was already cold, and he hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate.

Gao Yigong's face was pale, with arrow wounds, he limped to the top of the city, saw Li Zicheng, knelt down on one knee, "Minister, there is a negative grace, 3,000 people and horses, all of them are buried!" ”

Liu Zongmin saw that he was embarrassed, and he couldn't bear it, so he took the first step and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and a temporary defeat is nothing." ”

Li Zicheng's face was gloomy, and he wanted to reprimand him fiercely, but after listening to Liu Zongmin's words, he saw that it was his brother-in-law, waved his hand vigorously, and turned his head away.

When Gao Yigong saw it, he was even more ashamed in his heart, grabbed the arrow shaft on his calf, pulled it violently, pulled out the arrow, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his face, and he didn't say a word.

Jianyu camp, Azig looked at nearly 3,000 corpses of Shun soldiers, laughed, and said to Bai Guangen: "Your plan is really good, let them into the camp to kill these Han people, let's serve another pot, haha, good, much stronger than Jiang Zhu's strategy!" ”
