Chapter 341: The Battle of Xiaoguan (3)

The transportation of salt and grain is normal in Xiaoguan, a transportation hub, and the materials that come in and out of Xiaoguan every year are unknown, and a few truckloads of salt are not worth mentioning.

However, it was the time when it was dark to close the customs, and no one was allowed to enter, let alone carriages and horses, so after receiving the request to exit the customs, the Lang General who guarded the customs still hesitated for a moment.

According to the regular procedure, of course, you can't enter the city gate, and if the time drags on for a long time, I am afraid that it will cause accidents, so Zhang joined the army and played the emotional card:

"General Li Lang, it's not dark yet...... Hey, General Li Lang, can you look at the past friendships, forgiveness, and open the city gate? This autumn wind is biting, the weather is cold, you can't let my godbrother sleep in the wilderness, right? ”

General Li Lang seemed to be a little moved, but thinking about General Yiyuan's rules, he still politely refused, "Zhang joins the army, it's not that I don't want to let you in, it's really not in accordance with the rules, if the above blames it, I can't pay the difference, brother!" ”

Zhang Senjun was instantly dumbfounded, and immediately jumped to his feet: "Don't, Brother Li, I avoided the pursuit of the Qi people, and worked desperately to transport the salt, and the bones all over my body were like falling apart...... I just want to find a place to rest, you can do it!

"I still have some grain here, and you don't have much food, right? I've got some food here to feed everyone a full meal! ”

"......" Li Lang lit the fire and looked down, there was indeed a grain transport team at the end of the line...... Li Lang will take a deep breath, his expression is about to speak and stop, this decision is still a little difficult, at this time his henchman whispered in his ear:

"General Lang, the sun has not yet set all the mountain, it is not a violation of military regulations, besides, this is only about 20 cars, 100 people, it is not difficult to check, and the effort will pass in a while...... We have known Zhang for more than ten years, can we still believe him? ”

General Li Lang glanced at him, and when he saw that the others were obviously thinking the same way, he sighed slightly in his heart. Zhang Menglun is sleek and can be a man, and every time he enters the level, he will always give others some of the oil and water he scrapes.

Although he joined the army to do the business of transporting grain, it was too cheap, but it also taught him to be prosperous...... Having said that, if we obstruct it any more, I am afraid that the brothers will have an opinion about themselves, and no one will be happy to do this thankless task.

So he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let you go, I'll go and explain to the general." ”

The officers and men were overjoyed, and hurried down, first opening the city gates, moving away from the horses, and then began to check the goods.

Officialdom Zhang joined the army naturally knew it, and immediately secretly stuffed some money into the hands of the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers weighed the weight, a little dissatisfied, and quietly looked at it, there were actually a few gold leaves in it, he suddenly smiled meaningfully, and said: "It seems that joining the army has not been less beneficial." ”

Zhang Senjun immediately smiled and said: "Hey, you can't say that, let's get rich together......

He raised his neck and looked at the upper floor, and the dense row of figures made people frightened, and secretly took the man's sleeve and asked carefully:

"What's going on, the first time I saw you so tightly guarded, could it be that Qi people have already called?"

“…… I haven't called yet, but I guess it's going to be soon. Not long ago, Guanli sent a few sentinels out, and they didn't come back for a few days, and later people found that even the people and horses died under a cliff, this can't be a fall to death, right? ”

He said sneakily: "So the general began to be vigilant, no matter day or night, there must be people on the city gate......"

Not far from Xiaoguan, on a hill about three miles, more than 1,000 people and horses are hiding in the backlit corner, ready to go, Yang Su's elite cavalry and foot soldiers are hiding here, they dare not get too close to Xiaoguan, so they can only stay away.

It was dark, even if there were a few people with excellent eyesight, they couldn't see it really, only vaguely saw Zhou Shu move the rejection horse away, only checked the first few cars, and began to let the convoy in, and on the gatehouse, the Lang general also began to walk down...... On the front car, there were bags of salt, and in the back were grain and rice, which were pulled by mules and horses, and a few people pushed hard in the back......

Zhou Jun also came to help, and every car helped, and after they helped, the car became a little lighter. People love money, although it is not easy to take public things, but since ancient times, they have been supporting the bold and starving to death...... The Zhou pawns at the door were all satisfied.

Li Lang will see this scene in his eyes and will not stop it, anyway, this is all a common practice in the army, there is no oil and water to fish, so what kind of soldier is it? Be a saint and forget it!

Besides, in the past few years, the Zhou State has become weaker and weaker, and the money sent down is getting less and less, so if you don't be greedy, where will the money come from to feed the family? He turned a blind eye.

Behind the grain truck, there were several cars, carrying large boxes, at the back of the team, and he suddenly became suspicious, Zhang Menglun didn't say that there were still these things! He blocked the cars from entering the city, pressed the knife in one hand, and asked suspiciously: "What is in this box?" ”

Several coachmen dressed as Qi people looked at each other and remained silent.

General Li Lang's suspicion became stronger and stronger, Zhang Senjun saw that the matter was about to be revealed, and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round and said: "These are my family wealth, you can do it well......" This time General Li Lang did not give face, pushed his hand away, and shouted: "Open the box!" ”

Zhang Senjun winked at the "coachmen", one of them immediately opened a large box, Li Lang strode forward, just lowered his head, and was about to bend down to look, only to see a flash of knife, and a short axe cut off his head! …… The blood splashed and sprinkled on the ground, and Li Langjiang's headless body softened, fell from the car, and fell to the ground. Dou Da's skull rolled down......

The sudden change stunned the Zhou army, who was smiling and watching this scene, and around the grain truck that had already entered the customs, a pawn shouted, "Do it!" A loud roar was a signal to make a move, and the Qi people pulled out the hidden knives from under the car one after another, turned their heads and fought with the dumbfounded Zhou Jun!

The large box on the car was lifted, and inside were more than a dozen heavily armored foot soldiers. Originally, their plan was to hide for a while and wait for the middle of the night to do it again, but now that they have been exposed in advance, they have no choice but to do it in one go! The Zhou army at the gate of the city was not very large, and the heavy armor soldiers and the rest of the infantry attacked internally and externally, and they were unstoppable, and they killed the Zhou army near the door in a moment.

The Qi army hurriedly lit the grain cart, and the flames suddenly rose! As for that Zhang joining the army, don't expect him to be desperate, he has been under a car for a long time, covering his ears, as if he can't cut him if he can't hear people.

The Zhou army in the pass had already heard the sound of a battle at the city gate, and when he saw the fire rising, he was immediately in an uproar, and then the general Yuan Jingshan began to shout loudly, with a group of personal soldiers, desperately rushing here!

Three miles away, the Qi army saw the rising firelight, and knew that the front had begun to move, and the fighting was getting louder and louder, Yang Su didn't care about the plan being revealed in advance, he wanted to quickly chisel in before Yuanjingshan snatched back the city gate, and broke this pass!

He drew his waist knife and pointed forward: "-Kill!" ”

Hearing the order, hundreds of cavalry, like arrows off the string, suddenly jumped out, and hundreds of foot soldiers behind them, also followed by the cavalry, and also rushed wildly and rushed towards Xiaoguan.

The scale of Xiaoguan is small, but there are many soldiers, and the sudden attack of the Qi soldiers temporarily caused a certain disorder, but Yuan Jingshan then rushed to quickly stabilize the hearts of the people, and they began to gather at the gate of the city in a steady stream......

The Qi army fought hard in the cracks, and did not forget to push the grain carts and salt trucks that were in the way, once the Zhou army was asked to block these cars at the city gate, the Qi army could not advance or retreat, and it would be a complete rout!

They set a car on fire and pushed it forward! These cars will become a shield to protect the Qi army, narrow the scope of the fight, and buy time for the Qi army.

…… Although Yuan Jingshan reacted quickly enough, he was helpless for a while, so he had to ask the soldiers to fill it in without his life, and he was white with the Qi army. Although the Qi people are brave, they are all cloth clothes after all, and the heavy armor is not easy to move in a narrow range, and they are cut down by the dense blades of the Zhou army, and the loss is amazing in the blink of an eye!

…… Just as the Qi army was exhausted, and Yuan Jingshan was about to push the burning car in front of him, and then close the city gate, a tiger-like horse neighing sounded from the front.

Yuan Jingshan subconsciously looked up, only to see a figure on horseback flying over, the figure moving at high speed rushed out of the fire, and the long lance burst out, tearing his breastplate like tearing paper!!
