The sky was slightly bright, Wang Dan slowly let go of his wife's hands that were hugging him, got up lightly so as not to wake up the sleeping Zhao Daya, took off the armor and weapons hanging on the wall, walked out of the room very carefully and closed the door intimately.

Wang Dan, who was dressed in equipment, walked out of the gate of the castle, and saw that the fifteen warriors at the gate were already waiting for him on dragon elephant war horses, and next to them was his own dragon elephant. The fifteen knights gave a knightly salute to Wang Dan, and Wang Dan also nodded slightly in return, and then Wang Dan quickly turned over and got on his horse, and ran to the outside of the castle first, and the fifteen warriors followed closely behind.

In Wang Dan's room window, Zhao Daya's worried eyes kept looking at her husband who was walking towards the battlefield.

Sixteen heavy knights jogged towards the city gate, along the way there were many Zhaojiabao residents on both sides to watch Wang Dan, this man with a fan-like background was about to lead the Zhaojiabao soldiers to fight in the pass.

Wang Dan looked at these troubled people who had just escaped the shadow of death, and their shocked eyes told Wang Dan the horror of the outside world, and they seemed to be very puzzled why the castle lord wanted to break this hard-won peaceful life.

Wang Dan silently decided in his heart, "Even if you go to the battlefield and do nothing, you must protect the safety of your subjects." ”

After a while, Wang Dan went out of the city gate, only to see 12,000 heavily armed guards standing neatly outside Zhaojiabao, and 1,000 heavy cavalry lined up behind the heavy army formation. Wang Dan rode to the front of the guards, tens of thousands of people looked at themselves, and felt that the responsibility on his body was so heavy, if it was okay, Wang Dan really just wanted to study honestly in school and live an ordinary life.

There was a drizzle in the sky, Wang Dan looked up at the gray thick dark clouds, faintly saw the shape of the sun, and after a pause, Wang Dan shouted softly, "Go." ”

Resarit commanded 5,000 guards and 1,000 heavy cavalry to march in an orderly formation in the direction of Shanhaiguan. Wang Dan rode slowly on the side of the procession, and behind him were seven thousand Zhaojiabao guards lined up silently watching the castle lord and the army leave, and countless Zhaojiabao residents also watched their husbands or sons walk towards the battlefield with an unknown future from afar.

The drizzle in the sky gradually became thicker, and the road was foggy with protruding fog. Wang Dan led 6,000 people into the white mist until they disappeared.

Zhao Yingxiong looked at the sky full of dark clouds boredly, and the drizzling rain outside the gate was as depressed as his mood at this time, since the last fake gong incident, Wu Zongbing did not have a good face for himself, although he did not say it explicitly, but his future was really worrying.

Suddenly, Zhao Yingxiong saw many white-armored soldiers walking out of the fog outside the pass, their excellent armor and weapons were something he had never seen, and then a large number of heavy cavalry slowly came out of the fog, although they did not look like the army of the Tartars, but Zhao Yingxiong still hurriedly ordered someone to ring the alarm.

The entire Shanhaiguan was mobilized. Countless soldiers appeared on the city walls, and they opened their bows and arrows to the unknown army outside the city.

Zhao Yingxiong nervously watched the army outside the city that kept coming out of the fog approaching Shanhaiguan, and he didn't know whether to attack with arrows, when suddenly a majestic voice sounded in his ears; "Zhao Guerrilla, where are the troops coming from outside, and what are the goals of their coming to my Shanhaiguan." Zhao Yingxiong looked back, and it turned out to be his top boss, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

Wu Sangui has also been in an irritable mood these days, seeing that the Ming Dynasty has been going down for a few days, so Chongzhen has sent people to transfer troops to fight the peasant army several times. They were all rejected on the grounds that they were guarding against the Tartars. The soldiers in his hands are the biggest capital of people like himself in troubled times, and now he thinks all day long about which force to turn to in order to get the greatest benefits.

This problem made Wu Sangui constantly entangled in the distress of gain and loss, and today he happened to be patrolling the wall, and when he heard the alarm bell, he hurriedly came out to check. The soldiers in your hands are your only support, and there must be no problems.

Wu Sangui and a cadre general were discussing how to deal with it, when they suddenly saw sixteen knights in strange heavy armor running out of the unknown army that had halted their advance and running towards Shanhaiguan. When these heavy cavalry were still far away from Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui shouted to stop them from approaching.

Wu Sangui asked loudly, "Who are you?" Why did you invade my Daming Mountain Customs land. ”

In order to eliminate the vigilance of the Shanhaiguan defense army, Wang Dan took off his heavy helmet and replied loudly to the Ming army on the border, "I am Wang Dan, the chief soldier of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty." On the order of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, he led the Zhaojiabao guards into the customs to assist the court in suppressing the rebellious Zhang Xianzhong. ”

When the people in Shanhaiguan heard Wang Dan's self-registration number, they all laughed, and Wang Dan couldn't figure out why these Ming soldiers were laughing.

The laughter gradually exhausted, and I saw a golden-helmet general poke his head out and laugh loudly at Wang Dan and shouted: "You said that you are the general soldier of Liaodong, and Liaodong still belongs to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Wang Dan was angry in his heart, and he was kind enough to help the Ming Dynasty fight the rebels, but he was also made difficult at the beginning, but Wang Dan hoped that this Shanhaiguan would not be released, and he would go back to Zhaojiabao justifiably.

It's just that the incident was not as bloody as Wang Dan expected, Shanhaiguan quickly put down a soldier with a hanging basket, Wang Dan handed over the token given by Chongzhen to the soldiers to take back to Shanhaiguan, and after a while, the gate of Shanhaiguan slowly opened, and the golden helmet general came out of the customs with hundreds of generals of all sizes to meet Wang Dan and his party.

These Ming Dynasty soldiers invariably slowed down their feet when they approached Wang Dan's sixteen people, and everyone looked at the dragon elephant war horse in horror, such a huge heavy armor war horse was unimaginable to these Ming Dynasty soldiers who only saw that part of the Central Plains.

"Hiss" all the generals of Shanhaiguan took a deep breath, and when they got closer, they saw that these dozen or so giant horses were covered in thick horse-style steel plate armor, showing that these horses had extremely strong strength, and suddenly there was a guess in their hearts that these horses must be the heavenly horses in the legendary Dawan Horse.

Wang Dan saw that he was riding on a horse and there were too many generals above the Shanhai Pass, so he felt that this was very impolite, so he dismounted and took the initiative to meet him.

The tall fifteen warriors also dismounted, took off their helmets and followed Wang Dan, and then the generals of the Ming army found out that there were actually people from the Western Regions in this army, and the general of the golden helmet shouted, "What is the origin of you, how can you become my Ming soldiers." ”

Wang Dan saw that the golden helmet general had a mustache and a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, and couldn't help but respectfully clasp his fists and salute, "I am not a person of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of the Song Dynasty were exiled in Nanyang, and after hundreds of years, they still do not forget that they are Han people, and they returned to the Ming Dynasty a few years ago but were trapped by the war, so they found a fort to train soldiers to protect the safety of one party. These are the Western friends I made in Nanyang, and they are also enemies of the rebellious Zhang Xianzhong. "For these soldiers who defended their homes and countries in ancient times. Wang Dan thinks that it should always be respected.

This golden-helmeted general glanced at Wang Dan behind them, the well-equipped Zhaojiabao guards made him dare not underestimate, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and said politely, "My Ming Dynasty is in constant war, and the people are living in dire straits, every time I think about this, the general soldier is really uneasy in his heart, and today I see that Wang General Soldier has such elite soldiers to join the rebellion, I believe that my Ming has one more chance of winning, and the world will settle down faster." ”

Receiving a real general's compliment, Wang Dan couldn't close his mouth with a smile. The Golden Helmet General explained to Wang Dan about the retreat incident just now, and Wang Dan hurriedly said politely, "Your Excellency doesn't need to say that, be careful and also think about the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so what's the slackness." ”

General Jin Helmet smiled and said, "General Wang, you and I hit it off at first sight, why don't you stay in the pass and drink wine with me, and talk about the situation in the world better, and it's not too late to wait for the army to rest for one night before marching." ”

Wang Dan looked at the sky, although it was overcast at this time, it could still be seen that it was only noon. So he politely refused, "General Xie's good intentions, it's still early, I still don't disturb the general guarding the pass, I will go to suppress the rebellion earlier so that I can go home quickly." ”

General Golden Helmet was surprised and said, "General Wang is so keen on state affairs. It really makes me feel ashamed, and I won't stop Mr. Wang from making meritorious contributions, but in the future, Mr. Wang will make great contributions, please don't forget me, a little guard. ”

Wang Dan hurriedly said politely, "I must not dare to forget the righteousness of the general to clear the customs and let him go." After the two of them were polite, Wang Dan turned around and went to ride his horse, but at this time he heard some Ming generals laughing at him in a whisper. After listening carefully, I realized that they were laughing at themselves for not being able to measure themselves, and a little hillbilly dared to say that he would exterminate the rebellion, and when he fought with the rebels, he would know that he had suffered a lot of trouble. It's just a pity that so many BMWs and Baojia are cheap and rebellious.

Wang Dan didn't see that when the golden helmet general looked at the Zhaojiabao army and the war horse he was riding, a greedy look flashed in his eyes, so he also put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and the faces of the generals of Shanhaiguan appeared happy, and everyone understood what to say to the soldiers beside him.

When the Ming army of Shanhaiguan quietly put their hands on their weapons, Wang Dan had already asked Resarit to form a line, and the high-morale Zhaojiabao guards lined up to enter Shanhaiguan. Just like the moving heavy soldiers of the Great Wall of Steel made the faces of everyone in Shanhaiguan change greatly, such an ironclad heroic division is unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty, and they all let go of the hand holding the weapon.

When Wang Dan entered the Shanhaiguan with a thousand heavy cavalry, it shocked the Ming army, although a thousand war horses are not as good as the Wang Dan more than a dozen war horses, but they are also rare good horses.

What is the origin of this foreign general soldier, this is the question in the hearts of all the Ming troops in Shanhaiguan.

When Wang Dan entered the gate of Shanhaiguan, he was stopped by the Golden Helmet General again, this time he was more enthusiastic, and said a lot of words to make friends, but his eyes couldn't help but sweep to the Zhaojiabao guards. Seeing the greedy gaze in his eyes, Wang Dan's heart was irritated for no reason, and when the words were finally finished, when the Golden Helmet General said goodbye to Wang Dan reluctantly, he also sent a small officer to lead the way, and explained that this little officer was very familiar with the road of the Ming Dynasty, which was conducive to Wang Dan's march.

Wang Dan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Although the Ming soldiers did not have a good record in the Ming Dynasty, they were always warm-hearted to friendly troops. "I have to thank others for helping me.

So Wang Dan clenched his fists and thanked the general of the golden helmet, "Thank you for the general's concern, I don't know the general's surname, I am willing to make friends with the general." ”

The Golden Helmet General introduced himself very smugly and said, "This will be Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. ”

Wang Dan said politely, "I have admired the name for a long time, Wu Zongbing is a talent, and at a glance, I know that it is the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty-ah! You are Wu Sangui!" Wang Dan opened his mouth in surprise, this majestic general who looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and his appearance could definitely be the male number one in the front of the Oscars, would actually be a famous traitor, this unexpected fact made Wang Dan stunned on the spot.

Wu Sangui saw Wang Dan's surprised expression, and thought that he was frightened by his name, so he said proudly, "This general soldier has been fighting horses all his life, killing and retreating the Tartars several times, and protecting my Ming dynasty for decades, presumably Wang Zongbing has also heard of the next big name, okay, when Wang Zongbing returns from the war, you and I will drink and talk freely." ”

Until Wu Sangui's figure disappeared into the city, Wang Dan still muttered in disbelief, "People can't be like, Cleopatra may not be as good as an AV girl." ”

The Zhaojiabao guards soon all passed through the Guò Mountain Pass, and advanced to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Dan looked back at the Shanhai Pass shrouded in rain and fog from time to time, the looming Guancheng was as unreal as a mirage, Wang Dan didn't know how many historical celebrities he would meet after entering the Ming Dynasty, and the real ones would all be so unexpected.

On the city wall of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui, who was wearing a golden helmet, looked at the Zhaojiabao guards in the distance with pity, so many good armor and BMWs were cheaper than other Ming army generals, and a country castle owner had such a good thing, it was really eyeless.

One of his henchmen came over and whispered, "Lord Commander, should we catch up and grab the horses and armor, it's a pity to let it go." ”

Wu Sangui hesitated, "Look at that township fort is not easy to deal with, we will eat and kill a lot of soldiers, at this time, keep the soldiers in your hands and have the capital to mix in the troubled times." ”

The henchman said disdainfully: "If the soldiers are gone, then recruit them, and if you have food and knives, you are afraid that there will be no soldiers to recruit?"

Wu Sangui was a little moved by his henchmen, but when he looked at the Zhaojiabao army again, he found that he had already gone far away. (To be continued......)
