Marching all the way, Yang Bing and his entourage directly crossed the water city after meeting with the black armor guard, and hurried towards Tongtian Pass.

Along the way, Yang Bing saw a lot of people fleeing towards Kyoto, and Wan Qi Ke'er's face was solemn: "It seems that the situation in Tongtianguan is more serious than in the war report." ”

Yang Bing nodded in agreement, the weather was already late autumn, and the more he walked in the direction of Tongtianguan, there were more and more corpses of the people on the official road who died of freezing and starvation, which made Yang Bing worry.

"Master, the head of the house has to fly the pigeon to pass the book." Shuang'er walked behind Lin Feng with a small piece of paper.

"Well, you read it." Lin Feng couldn't lift his spirits a little.

Ten days ago, when Yang Bing and his party set off, he sent people to ambush on the road to Bingshui City, but he didn't expect that his father sent an urgent letter and withdrew the Lin family's manpower the day before the incident.

In the past ten days, Lin Feng has not been out of the Lin Mansion, and it is like he has nothing to do all day long.

"The head of the family said that if you want to take in the refugees who have fled in Kyoto, the head of the family has joined forces with Prince Hatan to surround Tongtian Pass, and it is only a matter of time before the four princes and their subordinates are taken, and the master wants to do a good job in Kyoto." After Shuang'er finished speaking, she took out a fire fold from her waist and lit the Flying Pigeon Story.

When Lin Feng heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "Where are Yang Bing, where have they been?" ”

"Back to the master, Yang Bing and his party have arrived at Tongtian Pass, but they have not yet entered the city, and they are resting in the village ten miles outside Tongtian Pass.

Lin Feng got up and ran to the study, only to see that there was a sand table in the study that only the army can have, Lin Feng took a few careful looks, and then laughed: "Yang Bing, it's hard for you not to die this time." ”

Shuang'er followed and walked in, only to see that on the sand table, Tongtianguan is located in the northeast of Damingde, in front of which is an endless flat grassland, behind which are thousands of miles of mountains, and to the west is close to the South China Sea area, and Lin Ziren took advantage of this gap to secretly send troops to the rear of Tongtianguan.

"What about the woman named Ziyunde?" Lin Feng was in a good mood, remembering the day he saw Ziyun, and Shuang'er understood it when he heard it.

"Don't worry, Master, Shuang'er will definitely send Miss Ziyun to the room tonight." After speaking, Shuang'er exited the study, but the moment she closed the door, a trace of disgust flashed in Shuang'er's eyes.

At this moment, at the junction of the South China Sea and the grassland, Lin Ziren led an army of 100,000 under his command, and rushed to Luocheng, a hundred miles away from Tongtianguan, Luocheng learned that Li Kun thought that Lin Ziren was going to lead troops to support Tongtianguan, so he opened the city gate and let 100,000 troops enter the city.

As a result, on the first day of entering the city, Lin Ziren killed the prefect, took control of Los Angeles, and did not allow the people to enter or leave.

"General, Prince Hatan has sent an old message asking when we will launch a general attack?" On the city wall of Los Angeles, a soldier reported to Lin Ziren, who was wearing armor and had a beard in front of him.

Lin Ziren looked into the distance, and at this moment he could already faintly see Tongtian Pass: "Well, the news of our march hasn't been spread, right?" ”

"General Hui, no, after entering the city, I sent people to block all exits, and I didn't even let go of the dog holes in the city wall." The soldier paused at this point: "It's just that the general, the informant sent a telegram saying that a team of more than 1,000 people came from Kyoto and sent the thing named Thunderbolt to the four princes, and is now resting in the village ten miles behind Tongtian Pass. ”

"Is that the guy named Yang Bing?" Lin Ziren glanced at the sun above his head, and without waiting for the soldier to reply, he got up and ordered: "Pass the order, divide the troops into three ways, attack Tongtian Pass, that Yang Bing must live!" ”

"Yes!"

Outside the city wall of Tongtian Pass, Hatan led the Tatar army to continuously attack Tongtian Pass, Hatan's face was blown up by Yang Bing when he was in Jincheng, and a scar on his face extended from the center of his eyebrows to his lips, and his nose was left with only one nostril, which looked very mad.

In Tongtian Pass, the fourth prince Zhu Yunzheng looked at the sand table in front of him with a solemn face, the number of sieges launched by Hatan in the past few days has become more and more frequent, and more and more soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have died, even the four princes who are crisscrossing the battlefield have no way at this time.

"The Fourth Prince, here!" At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran into the military tent.

Zhu Yun thought that Hatan had launched another attack, so he got up and picked up his blade and was about to go out, but the soldiers hurriedly stopped him.

"The fourth prince, it's not Hatan, it's Yang Bing from Kyoto, who is here, and he sent us thunderbolts."

The fourth prince breathed a sigh of relief: "Please!" ”

Yang Bing and his entourage entered the Tongtian Pass from the rear of the Tongtian Pass, and the streets in the pass were full of soldiers' corpses, and several scattered groups of soldiers were still carrying the corpses, which showed the tragedy of the war.

All the way to the barracks, the situation here is not very good, the barracks are full of wounded and sick, either missing arms or broken legs, and some have Tatar arrows stuck in their bodies.

Seeing such a tragic situation, Wan Qi Ke'er couldn't help but clench her fists: "Damn Tatars! ”

Although Yang Bing is used to seeing death, this is the first time he has seen such a tragic situation.

"General Yang." At this time, the fourth prince, Zhu Yun, walked out of the military tent.

"See the Four Princes." Yang Binglai had heard the crown prince and the second prince say that the fourth prince was very cold to outsiders, so he maintained a respectful attitude.

"General Yang is exempt, don't be restrained here." The fourth prince really said very coldly, and then he looked at Wan Qi Ke'er beside Yang Bing: "Ke'er, are you here too?" ”

"Fourth brother! How's it going, right? Wan Qi Ke'er said hello to the four princes worriedly.

"It's okay, come with me." After speaking, the fourth prince also nodded politely to Yang Bing, after all, Yang Bing also came to send him supplies.

Several people came to the military tent of the four princes, and Zhu Yun ordered the soldiers to guard them strictly: "You see, no one can come in without my order!" ”

"Yes!"

"Fourth Prince, is there anything important?" Yang Bing saw Zhu Yun's thoughts and said it directly, this is also a reminder given to him by the crown prince Zhu Di, the fourth prince doesn't like nonsense, he likes direct people.

This also made the four princes' attitude towards Yang Bing change a little: "Ke'er, Yang Bing, you have worked hard to send Thunderbolt Thunder." ”

"Eh, fourth brother, why are you still polite." Wan Qi Keer sat on the chair unceremoniously and poured herself a glass of water to drink.

Yang Bing didn't say anything on the side, and he suddenly had a premonition that nothing good might happen next.

"This time the Tatars attacked Tongtian Pass, and there was an internal response in the court." Zhu Yun said in a deep voice.

"We already know this, Lin Ziren, didn't he already have a rebellious heart?" Wan Qi Keer didn't think so, and thought there was some big secret.

Yang Bing looked at the four princes who still had solemn faces: "Four princes, is there anyone else besides Lin Ziren?" ”

The fourth prince sighed, walked to the sand table, pulled out a list in the middle of the plank and handed it to Yang Bing: "See for yourself." ”

Yang Bing took it and looked at it, and his eyes immediately widened: "Sucheng Prefect, Liaocheng Prefect, Criminal Department Shangshu ......"

There are dozens of names on it, including the prefects and counties of various cities in the South China Sea, as well as several important ministers in the court.

Wan Qi Ke'er came over to take a look, and was also shocked: "Fourth brother, this is all true!" ”

Seeing Wan Qi Ke'er's disbelief, Zhu Yun opened his mouth to explain: "When I saw it at first, I didn't believe it either, but then the heralds I sent to Kyoto disappeared, so I had to believe it, and then I sent people to report back to Kyoto without taking the official road and entering the city." ”

After Zhu Yun finished speaking, he raised his head and stared at Yang Bing, staring at Yang Bing a little unnaturally: "Yang Bing, Ke'er, I want the two of you to send the list back to Kyoto and hand it over to your father!" ”

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to guard with you!" Wan Qi Keer was reluctant to return to Kyoto, firstly, because he had just arrived at Tongtian Pass, and he had not done anything, neither went into battle to kill the enemy, nor made any plans.

Second, because she was worried about the fourth prince Zhu Yun, Wan Qi Keer often entered the palace to play with these princes since she was a child, and she had the best relationship with the second prince and the fourth prince, and now she left the fourth prince to stay here alone, naturally she was unwilling.

"Ke'er, don't make trouble, there is something more important than defending the city now, that is, to send back the list, if you can't send it back in time, Da Ming Ke will really have an accident."

At this time, the soldiers outside reported: "Four princes, it's not good, there is another team of people outside the pass, it looks like Lin Ziren, the general of the South China Sea." ”

"What!" The fourth prince slammed the table hard: "I didn't expect him Lin Ziren to be so bold!" ”

"Fourth Prince, if I send the secret letter back to Kyoto and bring this army back, you may be." Yang Bing said what he was worried about, the current situation, even if they returned to Kyoto and mobilized a large army to support, when they came back, this Tongtian Pass would fall into the hands of Lin Ziren.

"It doesn't matter, if it's other cities, I'm not sure, but I know this Tongtian Pass well, and it's impossible for them to capture Tongtian Pass within three months!" The Four Princes are not bragging, Tongtian Pass is one of the most important checkpoints in the territory of the Daimyo, whether it is the hoarded food or troops, it is completely enough to fight a battle for half a year.

Yang Bing pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Fourth prince, don't worry, even if I die, I will send the list back to Kyoto!" ”

Outside the city wall behind Tongtian Pass, Lin Ziren's army had already pressed the border, and the black pressure was endless.

Because the army had besieged the city gates in the north and south directions of Tongtian Pass, Yang Bing and Wan Qi Ke'er could only disguise themselves as ordinary people, and take Li Wu and the remaining three black-armored guards to follow the army out of the city to meet the battle, waiting for an opportunity to withdraw from Tongtian Pass, while the other black-armored guards stayed here.

Zhu Yun took the lead and rode a war horse at the front: "General Lin, you are not stationed in the South China Sea, but you led troops to Tongtian Pass without authorization, this is not appropriate." ”

Lin Ziren also rode a horse, and walked out of the team alone to confront the four princes: "Hahahaha, boy, I won't talk nonsense, you give me Tongtian Pass, I will immediately let Hatan withdraw from the army, and I can leave you a whole corpse, you think about it." ”

"Hmph, Lin Ziren, has Your Majesty ever treated you badly? You actually rebelled, collaborated with the enemy and treason, and colluded with the Tatars! ”

"Hahaha, it's worthy of being the emperor's son, it's really confident to charge people with crimes!" Lin Ziren looked up to the sky and laughed: "I tell you, I hate your father, I hate that after he sat on the throne of God, he actually sent me, a brother of life and death, to the place where birds don't shit in the South China Sea, I hate your father for making Yang Xiyuan's waste the prime minister!" That position was supposed to be mine! ”

At this time, the fourth prince gestured behind his back with his hands behind his back, and saw that Yang Bing and Wan Qi Ke'er, who were hiding in the team, were ready, so the soldiers were also ready to fight.

"That's not to talk about!"

"Talk about a fart! Boy, you're not qualified enough! If you want to talk, I'll talk to your dad too! After Lin Ziren finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the army behind him launched a charge.

Zhu Yun also waved his hand and ordered, and the two sides suddenly fought together, and the four princes rushed towards Lin Ziren with spears in hand, Lin Ziren didn't talk nonsense, and drew out a long knife to fight with Zhu Yun.

Yang Bing and the others took advantage of the chaos to rush to the east, and Lin Ziren's team also rushed out of a team of about 100 people to chase Yang Bing and the others.

Fortunately, the war horses of Yang Bing and several people were carefully selected by Zhu Yun, and for a while, those people couldn't catch up with them.

The men and horses on both sides have been running for nearly twenty miles, and Wan Qi Keer saw that the pursuers behind him were no longer visible, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It seems that I got rid of them." ”

Yang Bing didn't slow down, he always had a bad premonition in his heart: "Don't take it lightly!" ”

As soon as Yang Bing finished speaking, he saw a flying arrow shot from behind Wan Qi Keer, Yang Bing raised his hand and pushed Wan Qi Keer off the horse, but the flying arrow hit Yang Bing, and the arrow passed through Yang Bing's shoulder and pierced from behind.

Before Wan Qi Ke'er could react, she saw Yang Bing planted on the ground with an arrow stuck in his body.

"Yang Bing!" Wan Qi Ke'er reacted at this time, and Yang Bing blocked an arrow for her.

Li Wu vigilantly looked at the direction where the flying arrow was shooting: "General, get on the horse!" ”

I saw another pair of centaurs rushing over from the opposite side of them, and the person at the head looked a little similar to Lin Feng.

This is Lin Feng's eldest brother Lin Yan, he has long led his troops to ambush Yang Bing on the only way to escape, Lin Ziren expected that the four princes would send people out to deliver the letter, so he let his son lead the men and horses to guard the official road around Tongtian Pass.

Yang Bing endured the pain and got up, looked at the people and horses in the distance, and glanced at the injury on his shoulder again, knowing that he couldn't go far, so he handed the list in his arms to Wan Qi Ke'er: "You guys go quickly!" Be sure to bring the list back to Kyoto! ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Let's go! Wan Qi Ke'er shouted, and was about to pull Yang Bing up, but Yang Bing pushed her away: "Li Wu! Take the young lady away! ”

"General!"

"Less nonsense! Execute the command! Yang Bing got up with difficulty and pulled out the long knife on horseback, Wan Qi Keer still wanted to pull him, Yang Bing raised his hand and slashed the knife heavily on Wan Qi Keer's vagus nerve, Wan Qi Ke'er closed his eyes and fainted.

Li Wu ran over and picked up Wan Qi Ke'er and put it on the horse: "General, what should you do?" ”

Yang Bing couldn't help but break the arrow on his shoulder: "The soldiers are divided into many ways, you take the young lady to rush to Kyoto desperately, and the two of them and I will divide into two more ways to disperse their forces." ”

"But the general..."Li Wu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Bing waving his hand: "Execute the order!" ”

Li Wu's eyes were red: "General, don't worry, I will definitely bring the young lady back to Kyoto safely!" ”

After Li Wu finished speaking, he rode his horse and rushed in the direction of Kyoto.

Yang Bing looked at the remaining two black-armored guards: "The black-armored guards listen to orders!" ”

"In!" After a long period of devil training, the Black Armor Guard was completely unafraid of such a situation.

"We split into two directions, fleeing into the mountains, and entering the mountains, it is our home field!" If Yang Bing is not good at fighting on horseback on the plains, then entering the deep mountains and old forests is completely Yang Bing's home field.

In his previous life, he had conducted special operations in the rainforest countless times with enemies who were several times larger than him, not to mention that the conditions in the jungle here were much better than those in the rainforest, and Yang Bing was confident that he could survive in the jungle.

The two black-armored guards nodded: "General, take care!" Then he rode out into the mountains.

Yang Bing looked at the pursuers who were already close at hand, and saw that the other party did not disperse people to chase Wan Qi Keer and Li Wu, Yang Bing breathed a sigh of relief, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, turned around and fled into the mountains.
