Good boy, you only have 4,500 soldiers in total, where do you get the courage to do this?

"You will guard the city gates, and then order Zhu Zhinuo to send troops to kill the rebellious family."

"As for the rest, I will make my own arrangements."

Ruan Mingzheng went to look for Xi Honglei. When Xi Honglei arrived, there would be no problem defending Yanmen Pass with hundreds of martial arts masters supporting them.

Ruan Mingzheng said in his name that he had Qi Shaoshang in his control, and asked Xi Honglei's people to help maintain stability in the Yanmen Pass family, and asked her to go to Juyong Pass to negotiate with him.

At the same time, Ruan Mingzheng also expressed the great cause of the family and the country in the letter. Based on her understanding of Xi Honglei, Xi Honglei would definitely bring people to stabilize Yanmen Pass.

After all, those who set up their own factions are all pitiful people, or people who are loyal to the people.

Although Li Xiuzhu felt a little annoyed by Ruan Mingzheng's behavior, he did not object.

He needed this force, and he also wanted to see Xi Honglei. If she was really the type that made his heart beat, he wouldn't mind taking advantage of her.

Unlike those young ladies from official families, this kind of gangster does not need to consider too many consequences when being captured. Even if he is a traitor, there will be no problem as long as she tells the emperor.

After giving instructions to Sun Ci, Li Xiuzhu also went to rest.

Time flies and it's already five o'clock.

Li Xiuzhu was awakened, washed his face, drank some rice porridge after feeling refreshed, and then set off with the army.

The night sky is very beautiful tonight, with dark clouds all over the sky, and the moonlight can't penetrate at all.

Such a dark and windy night is a perfect time to kill someone.

Not to mention one mile, I'm afraid you won't see anyone if you're more than 100 meters away.

Li Xiuzhu decided to attack the city last night after seeing the dark clouds gathering.

Otherwise, the moon was high in the sky and could be seen from a long distance, so what was the point of fighting? In the darkness, because the horse stepped on the cloth, the sound could not be heard even ten feet away.

With the bit in place, the horse couldn't even make a single sound.

Arriving quietly in front of Juyongguan Pass, Li Xiuzhu glanced at the city wall from afar. As he had expected, the Silla soldiers kept kowtowing to the air, and it was obvious that they were all extremely trapped.

Qi Shaoshang and his men, who were not far from the city wall, were hesitating.

"Boss, have our people arrived yet? Should we take action right away?"

"Yes, if no one shows up, wouldn't we have died in vain?"

Yes, no one thinks they can come back safely.

This time, everyone thought they might die.

Qi Shaoshang was thinking silently, his firm eyes and wise face gave people a sense of trust when they saw him.

After a while, Qi Shaoshang decided to trust Li Xiuzhu.

"It's not too late for those of you to quit now. If you want to quit, I, Qi Shaoshang, won't blame you."

"But if the opportunity to fight is delayed, let alone my family, I will be on the side of the people. Can you live with your conscience?"

Qi Shaoshang's words seemed to allow everyone to choose, but in fact they did not give everyone the opportunity to choose.

Now that people are in trouble, only those who are shameless and don't know how to deal with the underworld will withdraw.

"What are you talking about, Boss? I, Yan Hongzhi, am not that kind of person."

"I, Yan Hongzhi, will never say anything different from the boss."

Just as Qi Shaoshang thought, no one withdrew, which made Qi Shaoshang feel relieved.

There weren't many people to begin with, and if there were fewer we wouldn't be able to take the city gate.

Although Qi Shaoshang had selfish motives, he was ultimately doing it for the greater good, just like when he went to Lianyun Village.

"Let's go, get going first and wait for my command."

At the same time, Xi Honglei also received a letter from Ruan Mingzheng.

Seeing Qi Shaoshang and others being taken by the government to fight in the war, Xi Honglei could no longer sit still.

Although it was already late at night, Xi Honglei immediately called the maid.

"Xiaohong, arrange two spies to go to Lianyun Village to check the situation in Lianyun Village."

"When it's daybreak, call the Second, Third, and Fourth Mothers to discuss matters."

Xi Honglei's delicate face was frowned, full of worry.

"Yes, ma'am."

Xi Honglei is also called Aunt Xi. God knows why a girl in her twenties likes this name.

The remaining three are also not very big.

Just as Xi Honglei was anxiously waiting for dawn, Qi Shaoshang and the others also waited for the right opportunity.

Suddenly, the call of a nightingale was heard at the foot of Juyong Pass.

The sound was not loud, which was normal for the sleepy guard who was accustomed to the chirping of insects and birds.

But they didn't know at this time that the chirping of insects this time was a death warrant for them.

The "ding ding" sound hit the city wall, making a slight noise.

While the soldiers on the city wall were still in hysteria, they only saw a few bright flashes of swords when they opened their eyes slightly.

As the first whimper sounded, the brain's protective mechanism started them turning on quickly.

But the moment they opened their eyes, they felt numb.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

I saw that many people from the Great Zhou had climbed up the city wall at some point.

These people were slashing with knives, quickly taking the lives of the guards.

In a panic, 90 percent of people will not choose to fight to the death, but will run away and scream madly.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

"Help……"

"The enemy has broken into the city, run quickly."

Qi Shaoshang shook off the blood on his knife, watched more and more of his subordinates climb up the city wall, then glanced at the Silla soldiers and felt a little unbelievable.

How can it be possible to chop melons and vegetables like this as if there is no one around?

But the task of capturing the city gate was accomplished.

"Old Five, open the city gate."

Following Qi Shaoshang's shout, You Tianlong immediately shouted, "Brothers, open the city gate."

Qi Shaoshang reached into his bosom and pulled out a flaring arrow.

"Boss, the city gate is open."

"Squeak~Bang!"

With a cannon shot, Li Xiuzhu opened his closed eyes.

"Send the order! Capture the city!"

“Woo~~~~~”

When the horn sounded, Qi Shaoshang on the top of the city wall felt relieved.

Fortunately, Li Xiuzhu did not lie to him!

As the horn sounded, the black cavalry rushed towards Juyongguan like a black torrent.

This torrent had already formed into a long snake formation ten feet wide, and rushed into the Silla city unhindered.

On the eve of dawn, people could already be seen vaguely.

As there were torches at the city gate, there was no need to worry about accidental injuries.

Li Xiuzhu did not go to the front line, he was guarded by a hundred people.

Although there are only a hundred of these people, they are all calm and composed, and they are obviously elite troops at first glance.

However, these were not only elite troops, but also guards composed of the best cavalry archers from the five armies.

Li Xiuzhu listened to the shouting and killing in the city and turned to look in the direction of the Silla camp.

The Silla camp is ten miles away from here. It takes at least fifteen minutes for a fast horse to come here. Add to that the time it takes to organize the army, and it will take at least an hour to get here.

Moreover, at this time there were only shouts and screams, but no fire, so the other party might not be able to detect it.

"Be careful. Anyone who escapes from Juyong Pass will be killed without mercy, regardless of friend or foe."

"promise!"

The shouting and killing continued for more than an hour. Just as Li Xiuzhu had expected, until the city quieted down, no one from the Silla camp was seen arriving.
