Everything in the city gate is too dramatic.
All the local officials and soldiers in the city pass believed that the Ming army would never be able to capture Loushan Pass, and even if they attacked with all their might, it would probably take several years to achieve such a glimmer of possibility. Knowing the dangerous terrain of Bozhou, even the Dayuan iron cavalry back then was daunting.
However, now so many soldiers are lying on the ground weakly, sweating profusely. Fires broke out everywhere in the city gate, and there was chaos. In the night, people everywhere exclaimed that the officers and soldiers had entered the city. Can this be false? The officers and soldiers have just approached the city! Not more than a day.
All of this quickly destroyed the fighting spirit of the defenders. No one had such a strong will to face all this calmly. The night and the chaos also added a lot of difficulties to the command, dispatch, appeasement and suppression of the senior native officials, so... this seemingly most insurmountable natural danger fell at the fastest speed.
When Liu Dadao was still bluffing in front of the city gate, while Ye Xiaotian's mountain militiamen descended from the sky one by one to the city gate with ropes swinging, the fakes became real, and the defenders at the top of the city could have killed them quickly. Killed and wiped out, but at this time there was no one in the city to implement a unified and effective command, the soldiers either fought on their own, or slipped away in the dark, Ye Xiaotian's troops quickly gained a firm foothold.
Everything that follows is lackluster, in a nutshell: Loushanguan, change of owner!
This battle seemed easy, but in fact, it was able to win Loushan Pass in one fell swoop, but behind the scenes, many unknown schemes and tricks were used, a lot of manpower and material resources were used, and a lot of effort was spent on preparations a few months ago.
Even if Liu Dadao pretended to attack under the city gate, he actually went into battle completely and truly, with arrows raining down and soldiers swarming with ants. I don't know how many soldiers and horses were damaged, so that the attention of the local soldiers in the city gate was always attracted to them.
Li Hualong, who was in charge of the Chongqing government, soon received good news: On the 29th, Liu Ting broke nine sets and won Loushanguan. Ye Xiaotian, the commander of Tongren Woniuling, made the first contribution!
Li Hualong was overjoyed, but he didn't get carried away. Loushanguan is the ultimate gate of Bozhou. He knew that if Loushanguan was lost, Yang Yinglong would definitely fight to win the pass. Loushanguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack from the outside, but it is not the case inside. Whether they can withstand Yang Yinglong's counterattack will determine whether Loushanguan will succeed in the end.
Yang Yinglong concentrated his forces to counterattack Loushan Pass, and it was indeed possible to recapture Loushan Pass, but at this time Ma Liying led his troops and Liu Dadao took the lead in joining forces at Loushan Pass!
In fact, Yang Yinglong also knew that Ma Liying's group was making rapid progress, and once they were allowed to join forces with Liu Dadao, they would be unshakable, so he personally led the troops to counterattack Loushan Pass, while his son Yang Chaodong led the troops to stop Ma Zongbing's advance.
It's a pity that Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu, a young couple, have been completely designated by Ma Zongbing as the vanguard army. Their cooperating troops were assigned by Qin Liangyu.
In this battle, facing several times as many enemies, the Baigan Army showed great power and defeated the Bozhou Army. Yang Chaodong's previous three-way army failed to surprise Liu Dadao, and fled back to Bozhou alone. This time he was defeated again, and he also knew that even though he was the eldest son, he would have no face to face his father after repeated defeats and loss of troops, so he was determined to die, but in the end he was captured alive by Qin Liangyu.
After Liu Dadao captured Loushan Pass, he was not busy moving on. The failure of the Ming army's rebellion several times before was certainly due to being ambushed by the Bozhou army, but it was not because they took risks and ventured forward, and it was difficult to respond from the beginning to the end, so they were defeated one by one
Liu Dadao has always been brave and good at fighting, and his temperament is like a fire. At this time, his temperament changed drastically. He changed his strategy of fighting step by step and fighting steadily. , this pair of good brothers in the past, but now they are fighting inseparably on the battlefield.
At this time, news of Yang Chaodong's defeat and capture came, and Yang Yinglong's last hope was shattered. He was in a stalemate with Liu Dadao, and Ma Liying defeated his son Yang Chaodong and rushed forward aggressively. If he didn't retreat at this time, maybe even he would have to confess here.
Yang Yinglong could only look up to the sky and sigh, "This is God not protecting me!"
Yang Yinglong had no choice but to withdraw his troops in a hurry. Although he still controlled most of the territory in Bozhou, he knew that once the Loushan Pass was broken, not only the Ming army would be able to drive straight in, but the follow-up troops would continue to flow in, and this was even more exciting. For the other Seventh Route Army, let alone conspiring against the world, even if they want to keep a corner of Bozhou, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky.
As Loushan Pass was closed, Tian Yufeng was wearing a windbreaker, as if she couldn't bear the bitter cold in the morning. It wasn't her body that was cold, but her heart. She never expected that the invincible Loushan Pass in her heart would fall within a day, and Yang Yinglong's counterattack ended in failure.
The person who is more enthusiastic about rebellion than Yang Yinglong is her. Whether it was because she was born with a love of adventure, or because of her unwillingness to believe that she was encouraged, she couldn't analyze it at this time. What she knew very well was: Loushan Pass fell, and Liu Dadao held it. Unless there is a miracle, Yang Yinglong's defeat will only happen sooner or later.
This conclusion hit Tian Yufeng particularly hard. Standing on the city gate at this moment, she is still peerless, and her desolate appearance makes people feel pitiful. But as far as she is concerned, there is only an empty shell left. Her ideals and beliefs have all disappeared with the fall of Loushanguan.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, even Zhan Ning'er, who was always hostile to her, couldn't bear to hit her again. Zhan Ning'er sighed softly, and said to Ye Xiaotian, "I'm leaving!"
The battle of Banzhou changed hands from Loushan Pass, and the outcome has already been determined. It's time for Yu Junting, who was waiting eagerly at Geshangdu, to act, otherwise it would be too late to take action after the overall situation is settled, and then she would have made wedding dresses for others in vain. Zhan Ning'er needs to rush to Geshangdu immediately, inform Yu Junting, and start eating away at the southeast corner of Bozhou.
Ye Xiaotian nodded, and slowly walked up the city gate, the morning mist curled up, and thousands of mountains and ravines were all hazy in the curling white mist. Ye Xiaotian sat down on an arrow box, Tian Yufeng had noticed his arrival, but after a long time, she came over and sat down on the corner of the arrow box.
"Master Ye, it seems that you have won!"
Tian female phoenix lost a little bit of the feeling of looking at Yan Xing, but she had a kind of dignified beauty. Although she was depressed in her heart, her expression and tone were very indifferent. As proud as she is, she will not show her frustration in front of Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Actually, before taking Loushanguan, I kept thinking about it. Although, you see that I look calm and calm, and I still have the heart to watch Ning'er fight with you, but it's just hard work." Just having fun."
Tian Yufeng looked at Ye Xiaotian in surprise, Ye Xiaotian said: "I even thought that if the court is defeated, they can leave, but Woniuling cannot be moved, what should I do then? Will you For the sake of my mercy, I will dissuade Yang Yinglong and let me go to Wo Niuling!"
Tian female phoenix's crescent-like eyes narrowed slightly, Ye Xiaotian said: "I even thought, should I follow the plan and really 'eat' you, even though there is no name of husband and wife, there is the reality of husband and wife, or ... I will have an extra layer of protection!"
If it was so naked, even though Tian Female Feng tried to seduce him more than once before, a blush still floated on Bai Yu's cheeks like rouge.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Fortunately, I won!"
Tian Yufeng's eyes darkened, and she suddenly said: "What about you, after you win, can you let us go?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "This us, who are you referring to?"
Tian Yufeng kept silent, of course she knew that the range of us she was referring to was too large, and it was too wishful thinking to want Ye Xiaotian to cover up, it was impossible for him to have this ability.
Ye Xiaotian said: "You are in our army now, and you have never had the opportunity to participate in the rebellion. I can do it to save your life. Yang family of Bozhou, you know that even the emperor can't forgive them. But Bai Nitian, but I can think of something."
"Thank you!"
Tian Yufeng sincerely expressed her gratitude to Ye Xiaotian. The complicated identities and relationship between the two made it difficult for her to regard Ye Xiaotian as an imminent enemy. I believe it is the same for Ye Xiaotian.
Tian Yufeng thanked her, turned her eyes to the fairyland-like mountains in the white mist, and thought sadly: "My husband, my children, my elder brother, and my relatives have all been pushed to a dead end by my ambition and desire. Can I leave them behind and just survive?"
