Yongquan Pass, Houguan.

Sergeant Jing slept soundly, but he didn't lose sight of the noise in front of him, and soon a personal soldier came to wake up Brother Shi, and there was no obvious panic in his tone: "Commander Qian, there are enemy troops breaking in at Qianguan, and the two sides are fighting." ”

The military system of the Jing Dynasty has undergone many reforms, and now the marshal of the north and south is in charge of nine large armies, and there are towns below the army, and a town is ten thousand people.

Below the town are thousands of troops of varying numbers, and the chief officer is a commander of a thousand commanders.

Brother Shi got up unhurriedly and walked to the basin in the corner, washed his face with cold water in his hand, and asked, "How many enemy troops are there?" From which side did you break in? ”

The soldier replied: "There are about several hundred people, and they must have climbed up from the ridge east of the pass." ”

"How daring."

Brother Shi sneered, immediately picked up the broad-bladed Pu knife on the shelf, and strode out.

The Jing army in the pass has been assembled, although they are placed in Yongquan Pass, a bitter cold place on the border where birds don't, unlike the Jing army in Heluo City, who can eat and drink spicy, but after all, they have not lost the fierce and murderous nature of the Jing Lian people.

Faced with the sudden unexpected situation in Qianguan, this Qianjingjun did not have the slightest fear on his face, but finally showed a little excited.

According to the usual rules of the Jing army, for every enemy killed, there was a reward of five taels of silver, so everyone dared to fight bravely.

Brother Shi looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and then walked quickly to the wall.

Between the front and back passes, there is this wall as a barrier, but it obviously cannot be compared with the strong and towering wall in the south, and can only play a slight role in blocking.

Brother Shi stood on top of the wall and looked to the south, only to see that the situation was extremely chaotic, there were fires everywhere, and a part of the Yan army had been forced to retreat under the second wall, and was begging Jing Jun to open the door to rescue.

About dozens of zhang away, a group of Qi troops frantically slaughtered the Yan army, led by a young man with a strong posture and superb martial arts.

Brother Shi ordered: "Send an order to the whole army and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Several cronies next to him had solemn faces, and one of them persuaded in a low voice: "Commander, the situation at the front pass is unknown, the enemy army is very likely to have captured the pass, and the follow-up army is coming." In the opinion of the following, it is better to stick to this place, and at the same time send a request for help to General Li of Ruyin City. ”

Brother Shi glanced at him and said coldly: "Idiot! If we let the Yan army in front of us be completely annihilated and give up the pass, how long do you think we can hold this low wall without any defenses? Qi army snow night raid, there will inevitably not be too many people dispatched, and there will be thousands of elites to die, at this time, if you don't make up your mind to drive them out and recapture the pass, you still want to defend to the death? you! Hurry up and get out of the way! ”

The cronies were sprayed with saliva and ran to convey the order with a guilty face.

A moment later, the gate opened from the inside, and Brother Shi led a thousand Jing troops to charge south.

The biggest problem faced by the Yan army in Qianguan was that the main general would be killed, and the Qi army appeared from within, resulting in their inability to form organized resistance in a short period of time, and they were cut into pieces of scattered forces. The battle broke out in the middle of the night, and many Yan troops had just walked out of the barracks with armor and blades, and they were hacked to death by the Qi army who suddenly killed them, so they were always in a difficult situation despite the advantage in terms of strength.

Brother Shi saw it clearly on the wall, so after leading people to kill, he asked his warriors to gather the Yan army that was scurrying like headless flies, and the team continued to expand.

After a while, the Qi army in front was already clearly visible, and Brother Shi waved his Pu knife and roared angrily: "Kill with me!" ”

The space inside the pass is already relatively cramped, and a large number of barracks are built on both sides of the mountain, and there is only a road about four zhang wide in the middle.

The Jing army marched forward with ferocity, blocking the impact of the Ruishi battalion in an instant, and then relied on hundreds of heavily armored foot soldiers to continuously advance forward.

Seeing that Jing's army was powerful, Lu Shen ordered without hesitation: "Withdraw!" ”

He personally led a part of the masters to resist the pressure of the Jing army, and hundreds of warriors of the Ruishi battalion retreated to the south in a hurry, continuing to inflict casualties on the Yan army along the way.

The Qi army retreated without chaos, and the Jing army naturally pursued closely.

At this time, Jing Jun had all entered the front pass.

Seeing that the war had suddenly become so smooth, a cronie couldn't help but admonish Brother Shi: "Commander, the enemy is retreating too quickly, beware of fraud!" ”

"Trick Niang!"

Brother Shi was furious, and his eyes were full of fierce light: "Lao Tzu still needs you to teach him to lead troops to fight?" If you dare to fart again, Lao Tzu will chop you directly! ”

The cronies turned pale with fright.

Brother Shi waved his knife and pointed forward, and said loudly: "Sons, kill them all!" ”

"Kill them all!"

The soldiers of the Jing army roared angrily.

Lu Shen's expression was still calm, and he slowly retreated with the Ruishi battalion, he looked at the group of Jing soldiers on the opposite side, and a sneer flashed on his face.

When the Ruishi Battalion and the Jing Army were fighting, Su Yunqing had already led people to capture the pass, and the gate of Yongquan Pass was slowly opened.

He climbed the wall, and at this moment his blood-stained robe, but the high-ranking official of the warp weaving department who was immersed in the gloomy wind and clouds did not have a trace of fatigue on his face, and his eyes were shining, looking at the vast world to the south.

On the snow, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Ruishi battalion trotted forward, and they were getting closer and closer to Yongquan Pass.

When the fireworks exploded above Yongquan Pass, Bao An, the infantry captain, couldn't help but roar.

He immediately asked more than a dozen rangers to shoot their horses to the south, went to the Lai'an defense line to inform the Zhenbei Army and other departments, and then asked the soldiers around him to take off the cold and advance towards Yongquan Pass, which was two or three miles away.

The infantry was very well equipped, except for the armor and helmets on their bodies, everyone had a horizontal knife hanging from their waists, and a spear in their hands.

Due to the limitations of weapons and armor, and the slippery snow, they could not maintain a high speed, so it took a certain amount of time to reach the front of the pass.

More than 2,000 strong men with guns appeared in sight, Su Yunqing was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and he raised his hand and shouted: "Enter the customs!" ”

Bao An looked up at the steep slope outside the pass, and said in a deep voice: "Line up!" ”

The soldiers of the Rui Shi battalion immediately fought in a neat formation of 60 people and a row of 15 people into Yongquan Pass.

After ten months of rigorous training, these soldiers had formed an instinct in the matter of the queue, and almost all of them walked in unison, and the sound of cowhide boots on the ground was like a trembling drumbeat.

The drums swept from south to north.

The spears are like a forest, and the blockers are invincible.

The hundreds of warriors led by Su Yunqing were armed with Hundred Refining Swords, using them as cover on both sides of the infantry array, and the Yan army, which was already demoralized, could not stop this terrifying gun array at all, and was forced to flee in all directions.

Ahead, half of the masters led by Lu Shen finally withdrew, and behind them was the main force of the Jing army that was in hot pursuit.

Looking down from above, I saw that on the road that was not spacious in the pass, a thousand Jing troops were carrying a large number of Yan troops in pursuit continuously, and at the other end of the road, more than 2,000 soldiers of the battalion of infantry advanced step by step, and the two armies finally collided head-on.

"Spread out!"

Lu Shen gave an order, and the masters he brought immediately retreated to both sides, giving up the central area of the road to his own pikemen.

The decisive battle is coming.

The soldiers standing at the forefront of the Rui Shi Battalion were all wearing heavy armor and face armor, and the vital points of the whole body were tightly wrapped.

Captain Bao An was in the queue, and his high-pitched voice spread all around: "Enter!" ”

More than 2,000 pikemen marched in unison, not too fast, and moved forward with determination and strength step by step, like a moving city.

In fact, the moment he saw these pikemen, Brother Shi felt a chill in his heart.

The reason is also very simple, in this narrow and cramped terrain, the threat of the opponent's gun formation is too great, and the own side has no long-range firepower, and there is no way to attack from the flank, so it is extremely difficult to resist this neat gun formation.

Now he was faced with a dilemma, it would be difficult to break through the opponent's gun array if he continued to rush forward, and it was very likely that he would suffer large-scale casualties.

But if he retreated, Brother Shi glanced at the Qi saber soldiers on both sides of the road ahead, the other party was able to cross the mountains and mountains to raid into the pass, and he could maintain such a strong combat power in the future, obviously they were all carefully selected elite masters. If you choose to retreat at this time, Jing Jun may still be able to maintain your composure, and the Yan army will definitely collapse directly.

What's more, now that they have no shelter from the wall, once they retreat, they will inevitably be chased and killed by the other party.

In the flash of light, Brother Shi had already made a decision, and said sharply: "The whole army is assaulted!" Jump team, kill with me! ”

The so-called jumping team is a branch of the army that most of the armies in the world will form, popularly speaking, it is a sword and shield hand, equipped with a round shield and a short knife, wearing light armor, mainly responsible for hand-to-hand combat, and then disrupting the opponent's formation, which is a necessary means to break through the enemy's long weapon formation.

The Jing army roared over, and hundreds of sturdy masters, under the leadership of Brother Shi, approached the large array of the Rui Shi camp at great speed.

Bao An was not in a hurry, and shouted calmly: "Wait! ”

The first four rows of foot soldiers clenched their spears, the first row held forward horizontally, and the last three rows rose diagonally.

"Enter!"

Everyone strode forward in order.

The Jing army had already been killed in front of him, and the people in front of him rushed forward with short bodies, and even more rolled forward on the ground with shields and knives, wanting to break into the Qi army array and slash and slash.

"Thorn!"

Bao An's tongue blooms with spring thunder.

Dozens of spears were pierced in order.

The row of Jing Jun who rushed to the front immediately appeared one blood hole after another.

The jumping team also burst into the formation of the Sharps, but before they could get up, a horizontal knife appeared in front of them and stabbed them in the weakest spots.

Even if someone is killed by them, the soldiers of the Rui Shi battalion behind will immediately fill the position of the robe and continue to advance.

"Wait!"

"Enter!"

"Thorn!"

"Wait!"

"Enter!"

"Thorn!"

Bao An's voice was extremely mechanical, but with every "stab" exit, a piece of Jingjun would inevitably fall.

Brother Shi's eyes were red when he saw it, and although the jumping team he had high hopes for caused some casualties, it could not shake the formation of the Qi army. Wanting to send people to kill from both sides, Lu Shen and Su Yunqing each led a part of the masters to firmly protect the flanks of their own large array.

Blood had stained the roads of the pass, and patches of Jing soldiers died under the guns of the Ruishi battalion.

From the pass to the second wall, the position of the Jing army was constantly compressed, and it could not stop the advance of the Qi army at all.

Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and blood flowed and pestles.

"Commander! Withdraw! ”

Several cronies took Brother Shi's arm and pleaded with pale faces.

Brother Shi's body trembled, he looked at the other side with great resentment, gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw the army!" ”

As soon as these two words came out, the Jing army and the Yan army, which had suffered heavy losses, could no longer support it, and turned around and fled in embarrassment to the north.

Lu Shen looked at the other party's back, and immediately ordered: "The whole army has it, kill them all!" ”

The shouting of killing soared into the sky!

The soldiers of the Rui Shi battalion covered up and killed under the leadership of Lu Shen, and the Jingyan coalition army was killed all over the ground, and they only hated their father and mother for having two legs.

Brother Shi passed through the back pass under the escort of more than ten personal soldiers, and he couldn't take care of the other defeated soldiers at all, snatched the only horses and beat the horses out of the pass, and fled all the way north like a lost dog.

The cheers of the soldiers of the Ruishi battalion echoed in Yongquan Pass, and the Yan army, who had no time to escape, put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.

Lu Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and only at this moment could he feel the hot blood boiling in his chest.

Su Yunqing walked up to him, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, although he didn't say a word, his expression of relief and satisfaction could explain everything.

The two stood side by side on the wall, and a ray of morning light appeared in the sky.

In the north, covered in silver, the mountains and rivers are picturesque.
