When the sky was just dawning, in the mountains and forests outside Dengjiakou, the Yan soldiers in charge of the surprise attack had already touched the side of the pass, as close as possible to the beacon tower on the city tower, while quietly paying attention to the every move of the yawning court officers and soldiers.

The greatest value of this pass is that these beacon towers responsible for transmitting signals, although this place is outside the pass, but the terrain of Yanshan is special, and the Mongolians will not be full of food to support the turn over from Yanshan, and the soldiers and generals responsible for guarding the pass have become more and more lazy and lose their vigilance over the years, and they never thought that such a broken place would one day have an enemy attack.

There are more than 170 guards in Dengjiakou, and now there are less than fifty people on the city tower, most of them are lazily walking around a few steps, and then chatting and waiting for dinner, they are tired of seeing the familiar mountain and forest scenery outside the pass, so they naturally will not take another look, but they heard that the Songting Pass is in full swing - but this is their business? Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are hoarded outside the pass, and King Yan will not come to them even if he goes out of the pass.

The gate has not yet opened, so there are no people on the mountain road, and a guard saw a few men in green clothes walking towards the city tower from a distance, and hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Stop! Who are you? ”

The man in Tsing Yi stopped as he said: "Presumptuous! Ning Wangfu safari, open and close the door quickly! If the princess arrives and doesn't open it yet, it will miss the princess's interest, so that you Qiu Ba can't eat and walk around! ”

Princess Ning loves to come to Yanshan to hunt at every turn, which is something that these guards know, and they only came once a while ago, so the soldiers did not suspect it, a responsible soldier went down to the city tower to face the waist card, confirmed that it was a person from Ning Wangfu, and turned around and waved his hand, and the soldiers on the city tower put down the drawbridge together, and were still discussing when they could take a vacation and enter the town to relax.

After a long time, it was confirmed that it was the people of Ning Wangfu, they were really not vigilant, if they strictly followed the process of guarding the customs, let alone opening and closing the door early, if these men in green clothes did not leave, the bows and crossbows on the city tower would have to be erected.

A few men in Tsing Yi crossed the suspension bridge, and their demeanor was much better, and they also called a few guards brothers, and when the conversation rose, a team really appeared on the mountain road, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a safari team from a distance, but they were all wearing armor and holding spears, and several soldiers didn't care, and one of them smiled at the man in Tsing Yi and said: "Isn't the prince here this time?" Why are there so many people... Belch! ”

The man in Tsing Yi who was close to him pulled out a knife, stabbed him in the stomach with a smile, and at the same time he was stabbed, the other men also took action, and took out their weapons, half of them rushed to defend the beacon tower, and the other half rushed to the end of the suspension bridge, and the knife fell to cut the rope of the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge fell to the ground.

The defenders in the pass are sparse, there are not many on the city tower, and the people in charge of the drawbridge have been solved by the men in Tsing Yi, seeing this kind of change, they can only be dumbfounded for a while, even if there are two people who want to light the beacon tower quickly, they are also caught in the struggle with the men in Tsing Yi, and those cavalry who are speeding up are close enough to see their hideous faces, and the snow bright knife.

Dengjiakou fell.

……

Since the news of King Yan's attack on Songting Pass came, Chen Heng, who was in charge of Daning, had been strengthening the defense of the city, and sent a team of soldiers and horses to surround King Ning's mansion, and Princess Ning, who came back from a trip out of the city, seemed to have no intention of hunting, which made Chen Heng breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that before this breath was finished, he immediately held back again, because he received another message.

The leader of Duoyan Sanwei and some tribal leaders under the jurisdiction of Daning Wei wanted to come to Daning to congratulate King Ning on his birthday.

It's really evil, although King Ning's birthday is just in these days, but these leaders can't understand the current situation? When do you still celebrate your birthday? Can't get enough of it?

The most outrageous thing is that Duoyan Sanwei is coming... In addition to Fang Yan Wang, he Chen Heng is guarding against Duoyan Sanwei, how dare he really let them come?

But although the leaders of these grassland tribes have the official position of being rewarded by the imperial court, they still use the identity and title of the previous Meng Yuan Shi internally, and they are not as awe-inspiring as the court officials who are serious, such as the officials in Daning City, who is not keeping a distance from King Ning as much as possible now, and walking around when they see King Ning's mansion? But these tribal leaders do not have such tendencies, they seem to trust and submit to King Ning more than the imperial court.

What to do?

Chen Heng, who was anxious, thought about it all night and didn't come up with a good way, he couldn't stop it, but if he didn't stop it, would he really let Duoyan Sanwei come to Daning? In the end, he could only compromise and allow these leaders to come to Daning to celebrate his birthday, but he could only bring guards, after all, these half-recruited, half-people, half-bandits, he really couldn't afford to be provoked by a small commander.

In this way, more troops can only be deployed to strengthen the monitoring of these leaders, from their departure to entering the city, they have to send people to keep an eye on them all the way, not only that, but also send troops to watch their tribe, watch the three guards of Ning Wang who are about to move, and even be ready to rush to the aid of Songting Pass at any time... The situation in Daning is simply a mess.

The only thing he can still hope for now is that King Yan can't get out, King Ning's three guards were crushed to death in the barracks, and those grassland tribes should not act rashly, if any of these three things go wrong, the situation in Daning may be catastrophic.

And what he didn't know was that the first thing... has already shattered his wishful thinking.

Yan King Zhu Di only arrived at Dengjiakou two hours later than Gu Cheng, the confrontation at Songting Pass was still continuing, but Zhu Di had no need to continue to stay there, he arrived at Dengjiakou, and immediately started the army non-stop, with Gu Cheng's cavalry as the vanguard, without stopping, the people in the town under Yanshan were stunned, they had lived here for decades, and they had never seen so many large armies, until nearly 10,000 troops swept through the town, they still didn't know what was going on, whose army was this army.

In the early afternoon, he finally arrived at the garrison between Daning City and Songting Pass, at this time the barracks were burying pots and cooking, and in the smoke, those imperial soldiers and horses were stunned to look at the Yan army that suddenly appeared, until the Yan army launched a charge, they did not organize a symbolic counterattack, because the Songting Pass in front was fighting, and the ghost knows where these Yan troops came from, where did they have the slightest defense?

The cavalry rushed straight to the camp, and the scouts were released to cut off the connection between Songting Pass and Daning City, Zhu Di did not forget to let some soldiers dress up in disguise, disguised as shepherds and peasants to rush to Daning, and waited until the officers and soldiers here were completely dispersed by the Yan army.

At this moment, those Yan soldiers and peasants dressed as soldiers had already made contact with Yu Liang and others guarding the city gate, and when the cavalry rushed to the city of Daning, they were faced with the city gate that was wide open under the combination of inside and outside.

When Chen Heng got the news and hurried to the city gate, he saw that the army of King Yan was already full of land less than a mile outside the city, and the banner of Yan was waving in the wind, Gu Cheng took the elite cavalry to roll up the dust, like a long dragon rushing straight towards the city gate, Chen Heng didn't even have time to try to recapture the city gate, and King Yan's army had already broken through the city and entered the street.

This is where the street fighting begins.

From the time of the rebellion and opening of the city, the Ning Wangfu closed the gate, and all the guards of the palace boarded the palace wall, holding bows and knives and waiting for them, no matter how fierce the Yan army and officers and soldiers outside the door were, who called the door, Ning Wangfu ignored it, and always stood by and watched, until the cavalry led by Gu Cheng barely controlled the east city where the palace was located, and rushed to the Ning Wangfu to sign up for a meeting, and when the king of Ning appeared, he still ignored it.

Now Gu Cheng is really confused, isn't it that he has negotiated with King Ning to start troops together? Why is it that the battle is almost fought now, and the Yan army, which is less than 10,000, has attacked the city for several hours by surprise and with his life, and King Ning actually doesn't even show his face?

He called a guard: "Go and find Mr. Gu!" He must be in the city, so he said that King Ning's mansion... Something happened! ”

……

What is Gu Huai doing at this time? Outside, the Yan army was attacking the city, but he led people to run to the yamen of Daning Wei's command.

Fighting can be seen everywhere in the city, Chen Heng commanded the war on the city wall, and commanded that there was no one in the yamen except for some small officials, Gu Huai took the spies of the secret spy department in and out of various warehouses, and was counting and receiving Daning Wei's ordnance, baggage, grain and grass honor guards, military uniforms, tents and household registration registers, it stands to reason that these things should be slowly taken over after the war, but the reason why Gu Huai is so anxious is because of the distrust of Ning Wangfu - or Sha Ning in his heart.

When Gu Cheng's people came over, Gu Huai just found the roster that occupied an entire warehouse, he looked through a few books, and the stone in his heart fell, these things may even be disgusted by those little officials on weekdays, but now they are treasures! Even the gold and silver salaries in the yamen treasury could not be compared.

But this happy mood quickly subsided after hearing the words of the sergeant, and he held a roster of Daning Guards, and his face became gloomy.

Ning Wangfu... Sure enough, there were some other thoughts, not just the lion's mouth when talking about business, they obviously wanted more.

Although I don't know what Zhu Quan and Shaning want to do, they should fulfill their promise when the city is broken, and their attitude at this moment is obviously to take advantage of the fisherman.

These people are indeed in this virtuous nature.

He put down the roster and looked at Wei Laosan behind him: "Watch tightly, don't watch it tightly!" Everything else in the yamen is not important, only these rosters, which must not be lost, are of great use! ”

Wei Laosan was a little puzzled: "My lord, what's the point of these?" Is it more important than the ordnance, food, and grass? ”

"Forgot the letter? As long as these things are used well, they are a hundred, a thousand times more important than the ordnance, grain and grass! Gu Huai's face was solemn, "Remember, your head can be lost, but these things must not go wrong!" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that Gu Huai said so solemnly, Wei Laosan also became a little dignified, and stood outside the door of the warehouse with his knife drawn, as if he was going to cut whoever approached.

Gu Huai nodded slightly, and looked at the Yan soldier who was found:

"Go to King Ning's Mansion."
