Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    From Dilu to Jingjing, passing through Xiaoya Pass, it is equivalent to entering Shanxi from the capital.  The road to Xiaomaiguan happens to be the direct road to Taiyuan Prefecture.  East of the well diameter is basically the area that Jiangxia can control.  So he came all the way without encountering any obstacles. He also met many people who came to flatter and flatter him on the way.  Jiang Xia had not met any of these people, so he rushed to Taiyuan not too slowly.  The King of Qi in Shanxi claimed to have 200,000 troops in Shanxi.  This number is naturally exaggerated. He is just a hereditary prince. He had little power in the court before, and his family had three thousand soldiers.  It is absolutely impossible to have 200,000 troops in a short period of time.  It¡¯s just that King Qi had previously purchased a large amount of supplies and equipment and sent them to Xuanfu and Datong, and he had won the recognition and loyalty of many frontier generals, so he was really not slow to accumulate troops.  There may not be an army of 200,000, but it is really possible to have 70,000, 80,000 or even 100,000 troops.  Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Jiangxia dared to conquer Shanxi with 10,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry. This is no different from sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth or sending death to the doorstep.  But what the specific result will be depends on what Jiang Xia is going to do after arriving in Shanxi.  After all, Jiang Xia has created too many miracles and accomplished great things during his many years in the Ming Dynasty, and even many people have fallen into his hands.  So many times people have a blind understanding that as long as Jiang Xia takes action, there is nothing impossible.  On the Shanxi side, after the failure of King Qi¡¯s attack on the capital, his strength was also greatly reduced.  Now I heard that Jiang Xia was coming to Shanxi, so I tried my best to piece it together, but in the end I could only gather 60,000 troops.  But with 60,000 soldiers in hand, he did not dare to provoke Jiang Xia.  It¡¯s not because he knew that the 10,000 cavalrymen came from the martial arts hall and were all well-trained, while the 8,000 infantrymen came from thousands of elites, and everyone had extraordinary martial arts skills.  It's because of the power that "Jiang Xia" has accumulated in the past years.  When Jiang Xia came to Xiaoyuan Pass, the main gate of Xiaoyuan Pass was closed tightly.  There were originally only 8,000 garrison guards at this pass, but now the number has increased sharply to 30,000.  The purpose is to prevent Jiang Xia from entering Taiyuan.  But why did he only bring 18,000 people out of Jiangxia? The purpose was to attract King Qi, King Lu, and Miao Renhu to take the initiative to trouble him.  Both Xue Ruqin and Yang Yiqing were seriously injured, which completely angered Jiang Xia.  He rushed all the way to Taiyuan, not because he had any plan or layout, but because Shanxi was relatively close to the capital.  In the middle of the cavalry team, Jiang Xia, who was riding a maroon horse, was looking up at the soldiers who were nervously guarding the city tower.  People on the tower were standing next to each other, all holding bows and arrows. Although the two sides were still far apart, anyone could feel the tense atmosphere on the tower.  Jiang Xia calmly shouted: "Cavalry shields ready!" The 10,000 cavalrymen immediately took off a shield from the saddle and raised it.  At the same time, they also drew out the long knives on their saddles.  "Infantry shields and flying claws are ready!" Eight thousand infantrymen took out shields and flying claws from their back packs.  Nangong Guang, the guard standing on the tower, was shocked when he saw this scene. There were only 20,000 soldiers below, and there were 30,000 guards on the tower. Could it be that the people below the tower still wanted to attack?  Of course, Jiang Xia's attitude was obviously to attack hard.  Wearing a suit of light armor, he stood among the crowd on a big horse, looking particularly tall and heroic.  If it were in the past, Jiang Xia might have used a trick to deceive the city gate.  But today, he didn't have these feelings, because he just wanted to kill some people happily and avenge his wife and father-in-law.  Phew Nangong Guang suddenly felt his heart shrink twice. Although he didn't know Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia, who was stationed in the cavalry group, met his eyes at this moment, which made Nangong Guang understand that he saw Jiang Xia.  For a moment, it seemed as if the world was silent.  After a few breaths, only one syllable was heard from Jiang Xia: "Kill." "Kill!" Zhang Meng, who followed Jiang Xia out, shouted wildly, and then the cavalry heard the sound and moved, their horses' hoofs raised almost at the same time.  , rushed out at the same time.  While charging towards Xiaoyan Pass, the entire cavalry formation remained almost unchanged.  "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!" Nangong Guang was stunned for five or six breaths before he reacted and gave the order.  But in fact, he didn't need to give the order, the arrow had already been released.  When the cavalry just started to move, the guards were so nervous that they let go of all their arrows.  But in fact, the cavalry has not yet entered the shooting range.?ÖÐ.  After one round of arrows is empty, it takes about six breaths to start shooting the second round.  And in this six-breath time, Jiang Xia and the others had rushed to a distance of less than 400 meters from Xiaoyan Pass.  What they are riding on are all five-flowered horses with the best explosive power and endurance among horses.  By the time the guards on the tower had set up the second round of arrows and were about to shoot them, Jiang Xia suddenly flew into the air.  He pulled out the Longyuan Sword from his waist and threw the sword into the city wall.  Then when Jiang Xia ran out of energy, he lightly tapped the sword with his toes, and his whole body suddenly rose up again, flying over the city wall in one fell swoop.  After landing on the tower, Jiang Xia pulled out his steel knife from a guard's waist like lightning, and then slashed left and right.  In such an environment, Jiang Xia didn't need to use any martial arts moves at all. Anyway, they were all one sword at a time.  The guards rushed towards Jiangxia, and Nangong Guang also shouted: "Kill! Kill him at all costs!" But in this gap, the cavalry had already ran to the city gate.  They took out the flying claws from the bags tied to the saddles one after another, threw the flying claws on the city wall, and after grabbing the battlements, the cavalry climbed up the city tower one after another.  ?Then the same goes for the infantry.  When the fighting in Jiangxia was on the rise, many cavalry and infantry people had already climbed onto the tower.  Then more and more people went up to the tower, and finally the guards on the tower couldn't support it anymore.  I don¡¯t know who shouted: ¡°You can¡¯t beat me, run away.¡± Then the entire garrison on the tower began to flee.  From a distance, Jiang Xia threw the steel knife in his hand.  The steel knife cut off Nangong Guang's head directly, as if it had eyes.  Once Nangong Guang died, it was only a matter of time before Xiao Yaoguan was defeated.  After the Xiao Yan Pass was broken, Jiang Xia was not in a hurry to enter Taiyuan, but the march speed slowed down.  In this way, King Qi was able to know in advance the news that he had broken Xiao Yan Pass.  In the Palace of Prince Qi of Taiyuan Prefecture, after learning that Xiao Yan Pass had been broken and the 30,000 defenders were defeated, Prince Qi was frightened and fainted on the spot
