Dai County has always been a strategically important place in Shanxi.

Because going north from now on is Yanmen Pass, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Now, it still touches the hearts of countless people.

Knowing that Nikan and Meng Qiaofang were coming quickly, Yu Lichun also became angry.

"Order all the ministries, the first to arrive at Dai County will be the first!"

With an order, the Ninth Division was like a wild horse running wild, and its speed suddenly accelerated a lot.

"The brother troops have already entered Liaodong and captured Jinzhou. They can immediately recover Shenyang and Liaoyang, and completely wipe out the Tartars. If the Tartars here are allowed to run back, it will increase the difficulty of the brother troops, okay?"

Guo Dongwei, head of the 35th regiment, stood on a high place, holding a trumpet to boost morale.

At his feet, the soldiers of the 35th regiment were already running steaming.

But no one complained of being tired or suffering. Everyone gritted their teeth and quickened their pace.

The Qing army also knew that life and death were in an instant, so they beat their horses one after another and rushed into Dai County from Ximen.

I would rather die on the battlefield than be engaged by Dodo military law.

Meng Qiaofang's soul blew up.

Call to Dai County and don't let Duoduo go.

As a result, Guo Dongwei shot a false shot, not Daixian, and seized the Guanyin Temple.

"Brother Zhang, are we really going to give our lives to the Tartars?"

"You attack the right wing, and I attack the left wing. Even if everyone dies in battle, you must not stop. You must break through the Guanyin Temple before today, otherwise, the main force of the enemy army will come up, and you will know the consequences."

From Pingxingguan to Daixian, the 35th regiment never slowed down regardless of day or night, or fatigue and road danger.

I was really tired and hungry, so I took out a couple of bites of chocolate.

"no!"

But he reacted quickly, and even fell off the horse directly.

After Nikan looked at the terrain, he couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while.

Guo Dongwei is confident that he can block all of Duoduo's troops with his own regiment.

Meng Qiaofang's old face was embarrassing, and the uneasiness in her heart couldn't be increased.

Although the 35th regiment did not have time to build fortifications, but because it was at a high place and had a wide field of vision, the difficulty of defense was infinitely reduced.

Well now, the advantage is mine.

Light infantry guns fired first, weakening the enemy's strength.

Everyone takes it as a mission.

"Hmph, let's see how you explain to the prince?"

Doduo strictly ordered him to protect the passage for the whole army, but now that the most important Guanyin Temple is lost, I am afraid that Doduo can chop off his head.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the 35th regiment, the cavalry rushing forward were no different from targets.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Nikan's face turned green.

Facts have proved that anyone who thinks this way will end badly.

Once this place falls into the hands of the National Defense Forces, the Qing army will become the turtle in the urn.

Because this is the only way to go to Yanmen Pass.

The soldiers of the 35th regiment opened fire leisurely, wantonly pouring firepower on the Qing army.

The riding and shooting skills that the Manchus were proud of were useless at all in front of the range of the Mines muskets as high as 500 to [-] meters.

The calories provided by high-sugar foods gave the soldiers the best supplement.

Meng Qiaofang couldn't even sit on her buttocks in Dai County, and hurriedly ordered Qi soldiers to kill Guanyin Temple.

Under the attack of thousands of muskets, Meng Qiaofang lost nearly a thousand troops in the first battle and had to retreat in embarrassment.

He knew that the firepower of the Qing army was not as good as that of the National Defense Army, so it must have an advantage in terrain.Only in this way can we stand in a stalemate and wait for Nikan to catch up.

In any case, he couldn't figure out how the National Defense Army, which only walked on two legs, arrived in Dai County at the same time as its own cavalry.
But now is not the time to think wildly, taking Dai County is the most important thing.

More than 35 people from the [-]th regiment guarded these two passages, which can be described as easy as pie.

When the cavalry of the Qing army entered the range of the muskets, the terrain suddenly rose, and the horses had to slow down.In addition, the formation is also scattered, and there is no power at all.

But what Meng Qiaofang didn't know was that a crisis was waiting for him.

"My lord, the Chinese army has not entered the city, they have gone north."

Otherwise, the family's prosperity and wealth will be lost.

Why is Guanyin Temple so important?

However, the opportunity has been lost, and it would be wishful thinking to turn the situation around.

It is powerless to use infantry against cavalry in the plains.Now guard the vital points and wait for the Qing army to attack.

What the hell is the National Defense Force doing?

But scolding can be scolding, the unfavorable situation is the worst.

After all, two legs can't run a war horse.

It's all right now, so what if Dai County is in the hands of the Qing army?

He could only give orders to Meng Qiaofang.

The two parties discovered each other almost at the same time.

This is the slogan of the whole army.

The most important thing is that there are only two roads into the mountain, and they are extremely narrow.

At the same time, the cavalry led by Meng Qiaofang also arrived in the west of Dai County.

Meng Qiaofang was so anxious that she didn't even care about the terrain, and rushed straight out of the city.

Two hundred miles away, the 35th Regiment, which only relied on the footboards, had already seen the city wall of Dai County in just one night and one morning.

He just thought that the National Defense Army was going to compete for Dai County, so he planned to seize it.

"Not good, speed up and enter the city immediately!"

The National Defense Forces in the east are coming soon.

The team rolled forward, rolling up dust and smoke all over the ground.In this world, no force can stop it.

What else could Meng Qiaofang say?

Meng Qiaofang purely made a mistake of inertial thinking.

"Let's not go into the city, go around and block the Guanyin Temple."

They can't go east from here, bypassing Yanmen Pass to Datong.

"No, go quickly, we must not let the enemy occupy the Guanyin Temple!"

Knowing that the Qing army was rushing to the county, Guo Dongwei was not in a hurry.

Guo Dongwei looked at the topography of Guanyin Temple with satisfaction, full of confidence.

Mortars followed, creating confusion for the enemy.

Meng Qiaofang was determined to seize the county seat and win Miaojue Temple, the commanding height in the city.

After nodding in a muffled voice, he planned to go back to purge the troops.

If they go east, they are throwing themselves into a trap.

Meng Qiaofang was a little confused.

The 35th regiment got the order, kept walking, and rushed all the way along the plain north of Dai County.

If Duo Duo wants to go to Datong and meet Haoge, he must go from here.

Guanyin Temple is the gateway from the Fenhe River Valley to the Yanmenguan Mountains. The terrain transitions from the valley to the mountains, all the way up.

Only then did Nikan lead the follow-up army to catch up.

He decided to go all out.

When he rushed to Miaojue Temple and found no National Defense Forces, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Someone in Meng Qiaofang's army had a different heart.

The face of the leading general was gloomy.

"If we break through the line of defense in front of us, we will have a way out."

"Oh, Brother Zhang, you have also seen how powerful the Chinese Army is. To put it bluntly, even if Prince Yu came in person, he might not be able to defeat him."

"Yes, Brother Zhang, the two of us have always admired you the most. Whether it is life or death, you should hurry up and make up your mind."
