July 10th of the first year of Guangming...

In the northern mountainous areas of Gouzhu Mountain, it started to rain heavily here since the night before yesterday. The rain was not very heavy, but it was a thunderstorm. After a storm, the sun came out, and then another storm soon fell. The heavy rain made the already muddy road more muddy. In some lower terrain, a thick layer of rain had even accumulated. Some small streams had gathered the rain from the mountain in a blink of an eye, becoming a torrent of turbulent air. Such weather made the mountain valley road from Shenwu Huishui River in Shuozhou to Yanmen Pass in Daizhou even more difficult to walk.

This is a dangerous valley road, and Yanmen Pass is the fortress guarding this dangerous tunnel in Gouzhu Mountain.

At this time, thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared in this dangerous passage, heading towards Yanmen Pass. This was a strange army, with cavalry dressed in different styles, some of which were typical nomads, some were wearing hair and trousers. A considerable number of knights were wearing black military robes and armor. They also said various things, and some were singing while walking.

Their queue was dragged very long, and most of them were forced to do so because of the limitations of the road. At the forefront of this team were cavalry about 100 cavalry. They were more than ten miles away from most of them and were cautiously searching and moving forward. Whenever there was a turbulence, they would immediately stop and hide themselves behind the trees and rocks next to the road. Yanmen Pass was still far away from this place. They had just left the pass and passed through it, so the remaining defenders in the pass were very likely to not send the horses so far.

However, they were still very cautious just in case. Occasionally, on this road leading to Daibei, they would encounter some merchants, woodcutters and hunters, and they would immediately arrest them and then carry them together in the team. Although these unlucky guys are unlikely to be spies to the enemy, they are still very cautious.

It is too dangerous here. If the enemy knows the movement, they will only lock Guancheng and sigh.

About ten miles behind these hundred cavalry were most of the soldiers, all infantry, or auxiliary soldiers who only took a spear and didn't even have armor. There were about a thousand people, but they escorted more than 200 prisoners tied into a string with ropes. The number of these prisoners was about 200, and they were covered in blood, their hair was scattered, and there was no armor. Under the escort of the auxiliary soldiers, they moved forward honestly.

Behind them was a black-armored cavalry of about a hundred men, and an auxiliary soldier of about a thousand men holding spears.

"Brother Dong, can this method really work?"

An ugly cavalryman in his twenties looked up at the sky. The dark clouds in the sky were rays of golden light shot out from the gap. No one could say whether the next time would be clear or heavy rain. He spat in a low voice and said, "This strategy is a little simpler, but you have to see who he is going to deal with. If Li Keyong was in Yanmen, it would definitely not be possible. But now, who is in Yanmen Pass? Even Cheng Huaiyi lost his life after leaving the pass. Now there are all old and weak in the pass, and they all know a ball. I admire ShuaiShiShi's plan very much, it is simple but practical." After saying that, he gently wiped the rain on his face and said to the auxiliary soldier who was walking on the ground who was asking about it: "You guys remember to follow us closely, don't talk at that time, just keep quiet. If you really take down Yanmen, we will be rewarded."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thin boy ran over with his spear and said, "Brother Dong, no, it's Captain Chen who asked you to go over and talk."

He nodded and followed the tall and thin boy.

This guy in cavalry outfit is Song Wendong. He was a guy who participated in the camp of civil servants with the blind man on the banks of the Huishui River. He was originally a small officer of the Chengde Army, but because he was not optimistic about Chengde Army being a deserter, he was captured by the Yanmen Army. However, he cooperated with Chen Bing, a spy coded as a blind man, a captain of the Qin Army Military Information Department, and made a contribution. In the battle of Huishui River, he not only survived, but also killed several Shatu soldiers. After the war, he had voluntarily joined the Western Expedition Army and was temporarily appointed as the deputy position of the team. The blind man was the ninth rank of the accompanying Rong man, and he is now under the temporary command of the blind man.

Before long, Song Wendong had already met the old blind man. No, it should be said that his team leader A Bingchen accompanied Rong. He rode a white horse, changed into a navy half-body armor, and did not wear the wolf helmet. He was a little bit arrogant and the old fortune-telling blind man he had known was completely different. He was slightly tilted and said something to several officers around him. When he saw him coming, A Bing didn't wait for him to salute and see him, and said, "Why should I call you Song Wendong or Song Wentong? Team leader Song, you are a little unfathomable, and you have no truth to anyone. I am a little doubtful now, are you a detailed work sent by the Boye Army in Chengdezhen?"

"The little one's real name Song Wentong, I didn't think of hiding anything, but..." Song Wentong wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect that this blind man was so powerful that he knew the real name he had been hiding after leaving Chengde Town. It seemed that his details must have been known by the Qin army. Fortunately, he was not a meticulous work, otherwise he would have died long ago.

The blind man didn't have much patience to listen to his explanation, "Whether you are called Song Wentong or Song Wendong, as long as you don't think about doing anything that is unfavorable to the Qin army. Now you are given a task and you will be at Yanmen Pass later. This time we have to rely on those Shatu prisoners to trick them into entering the pass, but these prisoners cannot believe them all. Therefore, you will pretend to be Shatu cavalry and mingle behind the leaders and keep an eye on them. If they dare to make any changes, you will end them."

"Am I alone?" Song Wentong now has no such a bossy temperament in the civil servant camp. Although the blind man is just a sesame officer, he is an officer in the Qin army. He is much better than him, who has just been temporarily appointed as the deputy of the team, but he is even a formal official.

"One person is enough. You will tie ten thunders to your body in a while. If they move abnormally, you will ignite the fire and die with them." The blind man said carelessly.

Song Wentong's face turned red and white, but fortunately, the blind man's words were just a joke. The order he gave him this time was to let him, some civilians from Shatuo's army and some Qin soldiers be the personal soldiers of the surrender of Shatuo's officers.

After the Battle of Huishui River, Zhang Zimian had quickly moved south and prepared to capture Yanmen. However, although there were only five thousand old and weak left in Yanmen, Zhang Zimian did not take it lightly, and did not plan to attack. What he planned was to let a group of surrendered Shatuo Army escort a group of Qin soldiers, pretending to be the captives of Qin army captured by Cheng Huaiyi on the way north, and take them back to Yanmen Pass. This way, he tricked into Guanzhong, seized the gate, and led the army into the pass. However, the Shatuo people are now carrying the name of no faith, so in order to be on the safe side, they have to arrange some people to follow these Shatuo people to prevent them from doing anything unusual.

Song Wentong finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it were just like this, he felt that this was a good opportunity to show his face but not dangerous. Although he became a deserter of the German army, it did not mean that he was a person who was afraid of death. On the contrary, he was the son of an ordinary farmer. After joining the army, he became the leader of the German army step by step with his true skills. If he had not been born too low, he could be a battalion leader with his ability. Now he had joined the Qin army by chance, which was a great opportunity in his opinion. Otherwise, he would not have cooperated with the blind man's actions at the beginning.

The Qin army was not a vassal state like the German army that had no future. On the contrary, the Qin vassal was like Zhongtian. With his ability, he would definitely make a breakthrough. The key is that he lacked opportunities now, and now the opportunity has come to his door. If he could help win Yanmen Pass, this would be a very good qualification. As for the danger, he would not believe that there would be one. The few generals surrendered Shatuo were originally just small officers such as lieutenants, and with the fear of defeat, the Qin army had also selected them, and they chose the guys with relatives in the army. There were hostages in hand, and their status in Shatuo's army was not high, and with the promised financial rewards from the Qin vassal, they knew how to choose.

In fact, Song Wentong came out of Yanmen Pass a few days ago, and he was very clear about the situation. At present, the city was guarded by five thousand old and weak soldiers, and because Cheng Huaiyi led the army outside the pass, they would definitely relax their vigilance. He had been a soldier for many years, so he was naturally clear about these things. In fact, in his opinion, the Qin army had 20,000 elite cavalry, so there was no need to trouble like this. He opened it directly to the pass. There were no reinforcements at Yanmen Pass. What's more, they could do besides surrender? Even if they wanted to defend, thousands of old and weak defended the 20,000 Qin army with firearms? What's more, the Qin army brought more than 30,000 civilians with them.

When Song Wentong pretended to be a personal soldier of a Shatuo surrendered general and followed them to escort two hundred prisoners of war to the bottom of Yanmen Pass, he found that someone had arrived at the gate. They did not send out any sentry detectives and were completely unprepared.

Two hundred Shatuo cavalry, with one thousand auxiliary soldiers, arrived with two hundred Qin army captives who were defeated by General Cheng's northbound route. The remaining lieutenant who was closed only looked at it with a rough look, then said a few greetings to the surrendered general who was leading the way, and immediately ordered to open the city gate.

Song Wentong rode on the horse, put his right hand behind the surrendered general, and pressed a short knife there. Listening to the creaking sound of the suspension bridge and the city gate of Yanmen Pass fell and opened, the stiff body of the surrendered general couldn't help but feel much more relaxed, and Song Wentong also breathed a long sigh.

It was successful, things went smoothly beyond imagination, and the first level of Jiuzhai in the world was lifted from his defense in front of him!
