Chapter 560 Capture Wuguanzhong

Bai Wenxuan and Zhao Mingchong put together that there are [-] troops on his side, and the commander-in-chief's nearly [-] troops are just outside the pass. There is really no need to play tricks. After all, he doesn't know when the Qing army's food transport team will come.

Immediately, the two decided to let the soldiers rest for a while, and then go out day and night to touch Wuguan, which is about [-] miles east of Danfeng County.

Although almost no one lived in Shangzhou Prefecture, Bai Wenxuan was still very careful. It took him two days to reach behind Wuguan.

On the dark night of the 25th, on the winding Wuguan Road, six thousand Wei Wujun soldiers marched towards Wuguan in the dark.

The stars and the moon in the sky were dim, but the snow on both sides of the road provided the soldiers with a good view.

At this time, thousands of soldiers were walking in the dark, but there was no sound in the ranks, only black shadows could be seen moving up and down with their footsteps, and they could hear the rustling of armor and the rustling of feet on the snow.

"General, Wuguan is ahead!" A scout ran over and reported on one knee.

As soon as Bai Wenxuan raised his hand, the soldiers behind him stopped slowly and stood quietly on the road.

Bai Wenxuan, Zhao Mingchong and others immediately climbed to the slope beside the road. When they climbed halfway up the slope, they could already see Xiongguan in the distance.

In the darkness, between two big mountains, a huge monster lay across the road, like a cliff cut by a knife.

The huge closed wall was pitch black, but the closed wall was lit with torches, and the figure of the patrol at night could be seen, walking back and forth, heavily guarded.

At the foot of the closed wall, there are also bright lights in the houses on both sides of the road, but the farther you are from the closed wall, the less fire light, and when you reach the Qing army camp behind, it is pitch black, with only a few sporadic braziers burning in the dark night. The flames swayed with the night wind.

Bai Wenxuan and Zhao Mingchong looked at each other with joy in their eyes. The Qing army's defense was indeed tight in the front and loose in the rear.

Bai Wenxuan observed for a while, and then said: "The camp behind should be stationed by green battalion soldiers, and the Eight Banners should be stationed in the house under the closed wall!"

Zhao Mingchong frowned slightly, "The Eight Banners control and close the door, then this matter will not be easy!"

Pointing to the back of Wuguan, he said: "The Qing army is stationed along both sides of the road behind the closed wall. The camp is like a long snake. If we attack suddenly, the Eight Banners soldiers behind the closed wall will be alert immediately. If they stick to the closed gate, We may not be able to open the closed door!"

Bai Wenxuan pondered for a while, and then said, "Old Zhao, you lead people along the hillsides on both sides of the road, bypassing the camps of the Green Camp, and reaching behind the closed wall. When you are ready, send a signal to the commander, and then directly attack the Eight Banners soldiers , snatch and close the door, and when I saw you making a move, I immediately raided the camp of the Green Battalion Soldiers!"

Zhao Mingchong thought about it, but he didn't object, "Okay, then I'll lead someone to touch it."

The two went down the hillside at the moment, Zhao Mingchong ordered [-] elite soldiers, divided them into two groups, walked along the hillsides on both sides of the road, bypassed the green battalion camps stationed along the road, and quietly approached Wuguan.

Bai Wenxuan saw two black shadows, which had already climbed halfway up the hillside, avoiding the Qing army camp below the hillside, then waved his hand again, and ordered in a low voice, "Go, touch it!"

Wuguan is a dangerous pass connecting Guanzhong and Zhongzhou. Together with Hangu Pass, Xiaoguan and Dashan Pass, it has become the "Four Fortresses of Qin".

For more than a thousand years, Wuguan has experienced wind and rain, and many dynasties have become clouds, but Wuguan still stands among the mountains at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan.

Wuguan is very strong. After the Qing army occupied it, the Guan wall that was remodeled by Gao Yihuan was changed back.

The Guan city wall is tall and thick, and it is located between two mountains.

The last time Gao Yihuan was outsmarted, he captured Wuguan.

Wu Sangui was able to rest assured of Gao Yihuan and led the main force to compete with Zhang Xianzhong for Hanzhong because he had confidence in Wuguan's defense and felt that even if Gao Yihuan came to attack the key, he would not be able to win Wuguan for a while.

There are a total of 1 Qing troops stationed in Wuguan, of which 7000 are a green battalion, the commander-in-chief is Wang Yongqiang, and the other 3000 are the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army, who is the deputy governor of the capital. command.

At this time, in a large tent in the Qing army camp, Wang Yongqiang was talking with Niu Quan, a grain escort officer from Chang'an.

Seeing Li Zicheng's failure, Niu Jinxing and his son took refuge in Wu Sangui. Now Niu Jinxing is Wu Sangui's aide, and Niu Quan serves in the Shaanxi Governor's Mansion.

"Niu Tongpan, you see that the New Year is coming soon, and the brothers are working hard in the valley. Is the court going to give some money for the festival? I don't want too many people. As long as 3 taels, the brothers can live a happy life." Good year! Would you please tell the higher-ups?" Wang Yongqiang picked up his wine glass and smiled apologetically.

Shangzhou was burned to the ground by Gao Yihuan, and Wang Yongqiang and Zu Kefa had been unlucky for eight lifetimes to guard such a piece of rotten land.

Others are reaping benefits, but they can only eat a fixed ration, and their lives are very poor.

"Hehe~" After Niu Quan drank a few cups, his cheeks were a little red, and he waved his hands and said, "Mr. Open your mouth!"

Wang Yongqiang said: "That's 5000 taels, it can't be less, and there is no way to explain to the brothers if it is less."

Niu Quan put down his chopsticks, "Mr. Wang, Shangguan is most afraid that his subordinates will cause trouble for him. There are so many troops in the Qing Dynasty, and many of the food and payment issues are solved by themselves. Let's do this, 1 taels, no more. I will give it to you." Tell the higher ups!"

Wang Yongqiang really wanted to solve it by himself, but there was no one in the Shangzhou government. Could it be that letting him go out of Wuguan and go to Gao Yihuan's territory to fight Caogu, wouldn't that be a death reminder?

"Hehe~" Wang Yongqiang said with a wry smile, "Ten thousand is ten thousand, so I will thank Niu Tong first."

Speaking of holding up his wine glass, Niu Quan smiled and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say! But you got [-] on your official documents. If you only write [-], you might only get [-]."

Wang Yongqiang cursed secretly in his heart, but why did you work hard for the Qing court? Isn't it just to make money?The military generals were scooped up first, and the civilian officials were scooped up later, layer upon layer of deduction was unavoidable, and it was the same in the Ming Dynasty.

It is even stronger now, at least it has something to gain, and the Ming Dynasty simply stopped sending it.

"I understand, I understand!" Wang Yongqiang said with a smile.

While the two were talking, suddenly there were several violent explosions outside the tent, followed by shouts of killing all over the mountains and plains.

At this time, the curtain was suddenly pushed open, and a Qing army rushed in, terrified: "President~President, it's not good, Wei Wujun is here!"

Niu Quan was so shocked that his heart trembled, and the wine glass fell on the table. Wang Yongqiang picked up his helmet and rushed out of the big tent to take a look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

The sound of killing outside the closed wall was loud, and inside the closed wall, two men and horses holding torches rushed down the mountainside.

In addition, a large number of enemy soldiers holding torches had already rushed into his camp, which made Wang Yongqiang gasp, the magic soldiers descended from heaven!Why did Wei Wujun come from behind?

Niu Quan didn't know when he got out of the tent. Seeing the battle, his legs sifted through the chaff, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Bar!"

"Where to turn in! The road is blocked!" Wang Yongqiang's face was gloomy, and he suddenly turned to look at Niu Quan.

Niu Quan was startled, and couldn't help taking a step back, "Wang Zongbing, what are you going to do?"
