Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1365 Valley Chase
Three cavalrymen of the Golden Army stationed in front of Maguan, reined in the spinning horses, looked up at the top of the city and shouted loudly.

The Jin army on Guancheng was puzzled for a while, why did they rush over again? It was less than an hour before and after this. Could it be that Guanzhong suffered a big defeat.

The customs clearance documents must be inspected by the general guarding the pass, and the soldiers went down to the pass with some reluctance to knock on the door of the Mongolian general.

When the Mongolian general passed through the customs, the documents for customs clearance had already been hoisted up by the soldiers. He unfolded it to see that it was the seal of Wu Guozhu, the Duke of Yongguo in Nanzheng City. After distinguishing it, there was no problem.

The Mongolian general asked people to open the door with some doubts, and three cavalrymen of the Golden Army rode their horses into the pass. The Mongolian general didn't want to be troublesome, but when he handed over the documents, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "This is brother, Hanzhong. Is the situation not good? Why are you sending letters to Chang'an one after another?"

The three cavalrymen of the Golden Army were not as arrogant and rude as the one just now. The leader was just about to go back to him, but when he spoke, his face suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise, "Did you rush through the border before?"

Seeing the reaction of the leading military academy, the Mongolian general was shocked, but he did not hide anything, and said truthfully: "There is one, not long ago, it was very dragged, and the customs clearance document used the seal of Song Shilang of the Ministry of War."

"Whose seal?" The leading military academy frowned.

"Song Shilang!"

"Xixiang has been breached by the Ming army. Song Shilang's life or death is unknown. This must be the secret work of the Ming army." The military academy was shocked and asked anxiously, "How long has that guy been gone, and how many people are there?"

The Mongolian general was still a little dazed, and subconsciously replied: "Just one person, I just walked for less than an hour."

Without saying a word, the three Jin soldiers clamped their horses' belly and waved their whips, and then galloped out in pursuit.

The Mongolian general came to his senses at this moment, and then his face was smoldering with anger, "Zhi Zuo, you are playing me." Not only did he let Xi Zuo pass, but he was also yelled at by Xi Zuo, how could he swallow this mouthful? Bad breath.

"Liu Liangyong, you act as the chief executive and strictly guard the pass." The Mongolian general roared back, and then ordered the four soldiers around him: "Get on the horse, I'm going to skin that guy!"

The first three Jin soldiers are all veterans of the Wu army. Together with Wu Guozhu, they were left in Hanzhong by Wu Sangui to confuse the Ming army.

However, a few days ago, the Ming army suddenly changed its strategy of fighting steadily and steadily. Hao Yaoqi rushed two hundred miles in three days, from Xing'an Mansion to Xixiang County of Hanzhong Mansion, and defeated Xixiang in a very short time.

Wu Guozhu judged that the Ming army might have noticed the mobilization of the Jin army, so Hao Yaoqi suddenly changed his tactics.Wu Guozhu worried that the Ming army in Hanzhong would ignore Nanzheng City and rush into Guanzhong after discovering the problem, so he hurriedly sent a fast horse to Chang'an to make preparations for the Jin army in Guanzhong to defeat Wang Yan as soon as possible, otherwise it would be possible He was copied by the Ming army in Hanzhong.

The fast horse delivering the letter is Wu Guozhu's personal guard, headed by Yuan Zongqi, named Wu Huajiang.He understood that at this time, the Ming army's secret work, pretending to be the Jin Kingdom's messenger to pass the customs, must have only one purpose, which is to tell the main force of the Ming army about the news that the King of Shu has retreated into the pass, and this will definitely affect the layout of the Jin Kingdom in the pass, so He absolutely cannot let go of the secret work of the Ming army.

In front, Wu Huajiang led two cavalrymen to chase after him, and behind him, Mongolian Qianhu also led four cavalrymen, galloping up.The cavalry of the Golden Army rode for a day, and the horses were a little tired. Soon, Qianhu from Mongolia caught up. He said to Wu Huajiang: "My brother, I, Lao Li, will never let that guy go. I will go and catch him together with you." That Ming army spy."

Wu Huajiang ignored him. It was only seventy or eighty miles from the pass to the Beikou exit. If he went out of the valley, it would be difficult to chase him.He didn't want to waste time, if he let the spy escape, the consequences would be disastrous.Wu Huajiang clamped the horse's belly with both legs, lashed out at the horse's buttocks, and then rode the horse to chase northward.

After Liang Si passed the pass, he was very happy. It was not easy to go in the valley, and it was getting dark. Liang Si got off his horse, found a big rock, tied the horse, and then took off the burden dragged by the horse behind. Grabbing a lot of beans with his hands, he fed the two war horses first, then sat on the stone by himself, picked up a piece of bread and untied the kettle to eat and drink.

However, he didn't relax his vigilance. Not to mention encountering enemies, there were many wolves, tigers and leopards in the wild. He didn't dare to neglect. He chewed the bread while looking around.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and then, several torches suddenly appeared from the winding valley road in the distance.

Liang Si was startled, and hurriedly put the bread back into his arms, then hurriedly untied the horse's reins, turned on a war horse, and hurriedly urged the horse to flee north.

There were still people on their way at such a late hour, except for the fast horses going to Chang'an to pass on the military information, and the people who closed the door found a problem and came to chase him. In short, it is definitely not a good thing.

As soon as Liang Si left, eight cavalrymen from the Kingdom of Jin chased after him. The leader Wu Huajiang turned his head in a fan shape, paying attention to the imprints on the ground, lest he would not know if he chased after dark.

Mr. Qian, who had changed his surname to Han, his eyes under the helmet gleamed like a hungry wolf in the grassland, and he was always paying attention to the horseshoe marks on the ground and the Tishi given by dead branches and weeds.

This group of Jin soldiers is obviously not a good opponent. Suddenly, Mongolian Qianzong surnamed Li stopped in front of a big rock, then got off his horse and looked at it, then turned to Wu Huajiang and said: "Wu Zongqi has horse dung, which is fresh. Yes, there are beans on the ground."

Hearing the words, Wu Huajiang was overjoyed, and immediately rode over, lit a torch, his eyes flickered coldly, "It should have just left not long ago." He looked at Mr. Qian and said, "Mr. Li, your man Keep four trails, mainly pay attention to the imprints on the ground, check for omissions and make up for gaps in the back, we will chase after us, and if the brothers behind find that we have overtaken, they will send arrows to notify us."

If the Ming army's spy was hiding in the dark, they ran over without paying attention, and the soldiers who followed the horse's footprints could also find out the Ming army's spy.

Mr. Li Qian had no objection, and ordered the four soldiers to watch out for their footprints, while they galloped after them.

Wu Huajiang, three, and Li Qianzong, the five chased after him. There were cliffs on both sides of the valley, and they didn't worry about the other party taking the trail.

The crowd pursued wildly all the way, and after about an hour, a vague figure finally appeared in the valley ahead.

Li Qianzong was the first to notice, and immediately put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle, scattered the pursuing Jin army, and immediately moved closer.

Liang Si looked back and complained in his heart. He was really chasing him. He didn't dare to look back and galloped away.

The muscles on Mrs. Li Qian's face twitched a few times, and his heart burst into excitement. He could be regarded as catching up with this guy. He was so arrogant before, but now we see how arrogant you are.

They looked at the figure in front of him who was up and down with the horse's back, and their eyes were like wolves. The five of them almost threw away the torches in their hands. Then he picked up the self-igniting gun.

With a sound of "bang", the firecracker erupted, and the projectile drew a straight line and hit the rocks in the valley, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

The sound of gunshots rang continuously in the valley. Although it missed Liang Si in front of him, it made him very embarrassed.

Mr. Li Qian sneered again and again, chasing your grandson to death, he shouted, "Look at the arrow."

After speaking, he bent his bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow at Liang Si, and another cavalry chased him to thirty paces, and shot an arrow at the same time.

Liang Si was horrified. He heard the sound of the strings, and subconsciously shrank his head. An arrow flew past his head, but the other arrow did not dodge. He only felt a tremor in his back, and then There was a burst of pain.

In desperation, Liang Si pulled out a flintlock pistol, and when he turned his head, there was a muffled sound, and a Jin soldier fell from his horse and hit the ground heavily.

Before he had time to see the results of the battle, he drew out another short knife and stuck it in the horse's buttocks. The horse under him neighed and rushed forward...
