Chapter 246 The first battle at Lanzhou Pass

Meng Qingzheng admired Yan Lang, and she had loved him since they were at Dongchang Pass. However, she struggled with not being able to get close to Yan Lang. She finally came to Lanzhou Pass and fought alongside Yan Lang, but she didn't have the chance to get close to Yan Lang. , just when she saw Guo Xin stepping forward to hug Yan Lang, Meng Qingzheng suddenly had an idea and went to hug her too.

It's a pity that I only touched his arms a little bit, and Yan Lang pushed me away before I even hugged her.

Is there any difference between men and women?
Meng Qingzheng thought that during these days when she was fighting side by side with Yan Lang, Yan Lang no longer regarded her as a woman?
Treating her as a woman is actually a good thing, isn't it?
If Yan Lang regarded her as the same man as Guo Xin, then she would cry.

Meng Qingzheng used this to comfort herself and said with a smile, "I feel relieved to see that you are okay."

She straightened her expression and focused her gaze on the battlefield in the distance: "You are right, now is not the time for small talk. We need to help quickly."

Yan Bin and Yan Hao led troops to attack the city. Yan Tai was left by Huang Xurong to guard the city gate. As soon as the white flag above Jiang Guo's city wall fell, Yan Tai quickly sent out troops to encircle and suppress the [-] soldiers sent by Jiang Guo earlier.

Huang Xurong sat at Lanzhou Pass and commanded the entire war.

Lanzhou Pass is a place that everyone in the Yan family is very familiar with. They all know where it is easy to attack and where it is difficult to attack.

But after being occupied by Jiang for four years, Uncle Jiang had already made some changes to Lanzhou Pass. This time Yanlang cut down the white flag, Qi had the advantage and sent troops first. It was obvious that all the favorable factors were on Qi's side, but after a night of siege, the Qi State failed. There is no progress.

The city wall of Jiang State is like a copper wall and an iron wall, and it cannot be defeated no matter how hard it is attacked.

After a night of fierce fighting, the soldiers were a little tired.

But he didn't dare to retreat.

Once the troops retreat, Jiang Guo's side will most likely hoist the white flag again, and then all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Huang Xurong quickly asked He Ye to pass the order, and then sent a second wave of soldiers to attack the city, and asked the father and son He Ye and He Sizhuo to lead the battle.

There are 20 troops stationed at Lanzhou Pass. Last night, Yan Bin and Yan Hao only brought 15 troops. There are still [-] troops in the city.

Yan Bin and Yan Hao did not lead many soldiers. It was not that they did not want to lead more, but Yuan Tongjing had gone to Changting Pass before, and [-] elite soldiers were deployed there. After the soldiers from the two groups joined together, they would have an army of [-]. Such a number The soldiers attacked the city, that was enough.

After a night of fierce fighting, even the gate of Jiang Guoguan City was not breached. He Leifeng was a little unwilling, but the soldiers were injured, exhausted, and dead. It was really not appropriate to continue the stalemate at this time.

After the second wave of soldiers came, they took turns to launch a general attack on Jiang Guo's city gate. Jiang Guo had no time to rest.

Jiang Chengchi, Sun Changce, Wang Pei, and Xu Shui were all commanding the battle above the city gate. Since the enemy troops had not yet entered the city gate, they naturally just commanded above the city gate first.

Seeing Qi State sending a second wave of soldiers, Jiang Chengchi narrowed his eyes and said with a cold face: "Qi State wants to use wheel warfare to consume the soldiers in our city. Once the soldiers in the city are dispatched, we will We are in a situation where we are at the mercy of others.”

Sun Changce said worriedly: "What your Majesty is saying is that Lanzhou Pass is adjacent to Changting Pass and Sanyuan Pass. Now Changting Pass and Sanyuan Pass are both in the hands of Qi. If Huang Xurong uses wheel warfare to consume the soldiers in our city, although wheel warfare has consumed our soldiers, The soldiers also consumed the soldiers of Qi State, but we were trapped in the city and could not mobilize troops outside. However, Qi State could recruit soldiers from Changting Pass and Sanyuan Pass at the same time. If our troops were exhausted, Qi State also recruited soldiers from Changting Pass. Soldiers from Guan and Sanyuan Pass continue to attack the city, and the city gate may not be safe."

Wang Pei frowned and said: "Qi State's implementation of wheel warfare probably does not give us the opportunity to hang the white flag. Your Majesty, should we still hang the white flag? If we want to, we actually have time."

Jiang Chengchi stood there and pondered, should he hang up the white flag again?It stands to reason that his mission this time is to test whether the Yan family is the patron saint of Qi. Now that the test has been completed, his mission has been completed.

If the white flag is hung, Qi will no longer be able to attack the city gate.

It is good for him and the whole Guancheng.

I just don’t know what Uncle Wang is thinking.

Jiang Chengchi thought for a while and said, "Don't hang up the white flag yet and fight with Qi for another day."

Jiang Chengchi had asked Sun Changce to write a letter to Uncle Jiang last night. Jiang Chengchi felt that Uncle Jiang would reply to him tonight at the latest. After receiving Uncle Jiang's reply, Jiang Chengchi would decide whether to fight or not. Fly the white flag.

Xu Shui has been silent, not because he is not rich enough to speak, but because everything from last night to today is all due to his dereliction of duty, and he has no face to speak.

Wang Pei didn't know about such a thing as a patron saint, but Jiang Chengchi and Sun Changce knew that Wang Pei couldn't understand the concerns of Jiang Chengchi and Sun Changce. Wang Pei was just worried that Qi had close neighbors to help, and they didn't. This is a big disadvantage for them.

But this shortcoming is not unsolvable. After all, Qingjiang Pass is still in their hands. If Qi State really uses wheel warfare to consume their soldiers in the city, and then Qi State recruits reinforcements from Changting Pass and Sanyuan Pass, then they can also go to Qingjiang Pass. Pass, Hushuiguan and even Qihuaiguan recruited reinforcements.

Seeing that Xu Shui remained dull and silent, Wang Pei reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. With Your Majesty here, we will definitely be able to repel Qi's attack and defend Lanzhou Pass."

Xu Shui lowered his head and suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Chengchi.

Jiang Chengchi glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

Yan Lang was able to sneak into the city and cut off the white flag. All of this was Xu Shui's dereliction of duty. According to military law, Xu Shui would be sentenced to death, but now was the time to employ people, and Jiang Chengchi had no intention of doing so. Dealing with Xu Shui now, but not dealing with it now, does not mean that it will not be dealt with in the future.

If this battle is won, Xu Shui will definitely be punished.

If this battle is lost, Xu Shui may die here.

Regardless of victory or defeat, Xu Shui's ending was all his own making and he couldn't blame others.

Xu Shui probably also knew that no matter whether this war was won or lost, his ending would not be good, so he begged: "Your Majesty, Yan Lang was able to sneak into the city and cut off the white flag. It was all due to my negligence." , I dare not make excuses or shirk the blame, but this matter has nothing to do with anyone else. I am willing to bear it fully. I hope that your majesty can spare other unrelated people in this matter. I will do my best to protect you. Stay at the city gate and protect the city wall. If you win, I will die to apologize. If you lose, I will die in front of the city gate. But please, Your Majesty..."

"What other people are saying is irrelevant, but in fact, you are just worried about your daughter, right?"

After the white flag was cut, it was also known that Yan Lang had sneaked into the city. Jiang Chengchi naturally asked people to investigate the cause and effect, and found out that the reason why Yan Lang was able to board the city gate was all because Xu Tianling gave Yan Lang the jade pendant.

Without that jade pendant, even if Yan Lang entered the city, it would be useless.

It was precisely because of that jade pendant that Yan Lang was able to successfully board the city gate, meet Xu Shui smoothly, successfully gain Xu Shui's trust, and cut down the white flag effortlessly.

After all, the biggest sinner is not Xu Shui, but Xu Tianling.After the white flag was chopped off and there was something wrong with the person Yan Lang pretended to be, Xu Shui realized this. He quickly asked his cronies to return to the inner city with Xu Tianling's jade pendant, gave the jade pendant to Xu Tianling, and told the whole thing Xu Tianling said that Xu Tianling must keep her jade pendant. If she is caught and questioned, she must deny that she has ever seen Yan Lang or given Yan Lang the jade pendant.

What Xu Shui thought was that although Xu Tianling's jade pendant had been seen by soldiers, Qi State attacked the city and the soldiers defending the city came to fight. Those soldiers who had seen Xu Tianling's jade pendant might have died in the battle, even if they had not died in the battle, In order to protect his daughter, he would not let them live.

As long as there were no more witnesses, his daughter would be safe.

If he begs for mercy from His Majesty, Your Majesty might let him pay the penalty alone.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the king.

And the king's light words seemed to be strangled on Xu Shui's throat.

Xu Shui is just such a daughter. She is pampered, not to mention beaten and scolded, and she is reluctant to even say a harsh word. How can she be willing to watch her daughter die?
Xu Shui cried and said: "Your Majesty, this is none of my daughter's business. It really is none of her business."

Jiang Chengchi's expression was cold, from his eyebrows to his eyes. He did not argue with Xu Shui about this matter, nor did he say how to deal with it. He just said coldly: "Get up, now we are not pursuing the matter." When the time comes, first guard the city gate."

Xu Shui stood up tremblingly, feeling very sad.

If he dies, he will die. After all, as a military general who licks blood on the battlefield, he has long been aware of dying in battle at any time, but his daughter is still young and a girl, how can she die here?
If he wins, his daughter will live well.

If he loses, it depends on whether Qi will kill him or not, but whether he kills or not, that will happen after the defeat. He must at least keep his daughter safe before the defeat.

Jiang Chengchi was heartless before. He thought he loved Yufu at that time, but when he was forced by Uncle Jiang, he still chose to kill Yufu with his own hands. He didn't love Muhua married, but he married Muhua married again. After feeling that After Mu Huajian became too annoying, he killed her unceremoniously. In the eyes of the original Jiang Chengchi, he and the country were the most important.

Today, Jiang Chengchi's idea has not changed. He and Jiangshan are very important. But on this basis, Yu Biao's death still made Jiang Chengchi understand another truth. His subjects are also very important, because necessary Sometimes, they will protect him with death.

Seeing that Xu Shui looked hopeless, Jiang Chengchi was afraid that Xu Shui would become depressed before he even went to the battlefield, so he added another sentence: "If you can defend Lanzhou Pass, I will pardon your daughter's crime and not hold her accountable." Responsibility."

This also encouraged Xu Shui to defend Lanzhou Pass with all his strength.

If he fails and loses Lanzhou Pass, then Xu Tianling's fate will no longer be controlled by Jiang Chengchi.

Falling into Lanzhou Pass of Qi State, the fate of these Jiang people was decided by Qi Hengyuan.

Xu Shui burst into tears of gratitude. He didn't expect the king to be so kind. Xu Shui immediately knelt down and kowtowed, said a series of words of gratitude, and promised: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will risk my life to protect the city gate and help your Majesty guard Lanzhou Pass. "

The second wave of soldiers from Qi State came up, and the injured soldiers from Jiang State also went down to heal their wounds, and the second wave of soldiers came up instead.

He Leifeng first led the soldiers from Changting Pass back to Changting Pass. They rested when they should, recuperated when they were injured, and reported mourning when they needed to.

Yan Bin and his party also returned to the Guancheng of Lanzhou, Qi State.

Yan Tai had already led his troops to eliminate the [-] Jiang soldiers who were quietly lurking outside the city gate, and was now waiting for Yan Bin and his party in the meeting hall.

After the soldiers returned to the city, they rested when they should and recuperated when they were injured. However, Yan Bin, Yan Hao, Yan Lang, Yuan Tongjing, Meng Qingzheng, Guo Xin and others did not rest and came directly to the meeting hall.

Huang Xurong said: "Thank you for your hard work. I'm watching over here. You have stayed up all night and you need to rest. Tell me the relevant situation and you can go down and rest. Maybe you will have to go out to fight in the evening."

No one declined. After all, no one was invincible. How could he not be tired or sleepy after staying up all night and fighting fiercely with the enemy all night?
Yan Bin, Yan Hao, Yan Lang and Yuan Tongjing talked about the siege situation they encountered, each expressed their own opinions, and then went to rest.

Yan Lang is too tired and can no longer activate his semi-supernatural power. Currently, Qi State is attacking the city and Jiang State is defending. There are no tricks, and he does not need his semi-supernatural power to spy on anything. As for the outcome of the siege, he will know when he wakes up. He is too When I was tired, I took a shower and went to sleep.

Yan Lang cut off the white flag above Jiangguoguan City in one fell swoop, breaking the stalemate. Qi State declared war in time, and the fifth battle finally started again. Once the stalemate was broken, it also meant that the fifth lost territory was expected to be recovered.

After the news was rushed to Guiyang City, Qi Hengyuan was shocked, and the entire court was shocked.

What shocked Qi Hengyuan was not that the white flag was cut off. After all, when Yan Bin and his party left, he issued a death order to Huang Xurong and Yan Bin brothers in the imperial study. They must find a way to cut off the white flag. They did it. Nothing surprising.

Qi Hengyuan was shocked that the person who cut off the white flag above Jiang Guoguan City was actually Yan Lang, and Yan Lang was the only one.

Qi Hengyuan always felt that Yan Lang had a secret, and this secret had a lot to do with Yan Ning.

But Qi Hengyuan couldn't figure out what kind of secret this was.

Yan Lang is young, but he has already shown amazing talents.

There are some doubts about Yan Lang's talent, but he can single-handedly cut off the white flag above Jiangguoguan City without being caught. It is really commendable that the people of Jiangguo can't accuse the people of Qi even if they want to. .

Although it is well known that it is impossible for Jiang State's own people to cut down the white flag above their own city wall. This act of cutting down the white flag must be done by Qi State people, but they can't catch anyone. Even if they say it is a fairy tale, there is no evidence. Qi State's side It is also denied to life and death, so Qi will not have to bear the name of a villain and be criticized by the world.

This move is really great, great!
Qi Hengyuan greatly praised Yan Lang in the court hall, made him a young prince, and gave him many rewards.

Yanlang's reputation spread throughout Qi.

This is also the youngest Shaohou in the history of Qi after Yan Yun.

Being granted the title of Marquis at the age of 11, the prospects are immeasurable.

When Qi Hengyuan was extremely happy in the court hall, Yan Ning also received news from Lanzhou Pass.

Yan Ning's reaction was relatively indifferent. She would use her magical power every day to find out the situation at Lanzhou Pass. However, Yan Lang's actions were carried out at night. Yan Ning was asleep at that time and did not know about it. When she got up, she used her magical power. , and learned about the battle situation at Lanzhou Pass.

Yan Ning is confident about Yan Lang. She has taught Yan Lang how to win. Although it seems that it is very difficult to capture Jiang Guoguan City, as long as Yan Lang is here, this battle will be won.
