    The head of the banner, Xu Rui and Zhang Yun, joined hands to climb the towering tower on the west wall, overlooking the situation outside the pass from a condescending height.

    As the Xiongguan military fortress and gateway of the eastern province of the Far Eastern Empire, Baimaguan is also heavily stationed.

    All the trees in the forest within a radius of three miles of Baimaguan were cut down. In addition to building houses in the city, it was also to broaden the field of vision of the defenders and prevent sneak attacks.

    Therefore, standing on the wall of Baimaguan, the vision is also excellent. Xu Rui and the others can clearly see the banners flying to the west, and the heavily armed Qinghe army is densely packed.

    Seeing the 24th and 25th Banner regiments suddenly appearing outside the pass, Zhang Yun and Xu Rui had a bit of a bad look on their faces.

    They originally wanted to lure senior generals such as Zhang Bao, Li Mingyi, and Zhao Kang to Baimaguan to trap and kill them, and then annexed the 24th and 25th Banner Regiments.

    But now that the army led by the opponent has reached the White Horse Pass, they feel that a fierce battle is inevitable.

    "Send the order and get ready to fight!"

    Xu Rui, head of the 22nd Banner, looked away from outside the pass, turned his head and gave an order.

    "No!"

    A herald immediately took the order and went to convey the order quickly.

    Groups of heavily armed soldiers of the Qinghe Army quickly deployed along the city ladder to the battlements and watchtowers on the wall, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly became tense.

    These soldiers belonging to the 22nd and 23rd Banner Regiments were actually unwilling to rebel against the imperial court.

    However, they were coaxed by Xu Rui and Zhang Yun, and sent into the city to suppress the so-called rebellion.

    However, it was only after the battle that they realized that what they attacked was actually the Jin Yiwei of the imperial court.

    Jin Yiwei is directly under the emperor Chen Ziang, and their attack on Jin Yiwei is tantamount to conspiracy.

    So although they hated Zhang Yun, Xu Rui and others to death in their hearts, they had already committed the crime of losing their heads, and they could only go one way to the dark and were forced to continue to fight against the court.

    In addition, Xu Rui, Zhang Yun and others made a promise to them, as long as the White Horse Pass is dedicated to Hanhai, they will also be promoted and make a fortune.

    Now part of the 22nd and 23rd banner groups in Baimaguan decided to take the risk to follow Xu Rui and others to rebel against the imperial court in order to seek prosperity and wealth.

    Others were coerced, and now their morale is low, and they have fallen into a state of confusion.

    If Xu Rui hadn't ordered the beheading of more than a hundred deserters, it is estimated that more soldiers would have fled.

    "It seems that what the intelligence said is true, Zhang Yun and Xu Rui are indeed at odds."

    Seeing the strong bow and crossbow on the wall, Zhang Bao, the deputy head of the Fifth Field Army, also looked worried, wondering how the head of the army, Wang Cheng, was doing.

    "Master Deputy Legion Commander, what should we do now?"

    ? Li Mingyi, head of the 24th Banner, set his sights on Zhang Bao to ask for orders.

    "Get ready to attack the city." Zhang Bao, deputy commander of the army, said.

    Zhao Kang, the head of the 25th Banner, said worriedly: "But the Legion Commander is inside, if we attack the city, they will not be good for the Legion Commander, and the Legion Commander will be in danger"

    "Don't worry, Feige has sent a letter to the brothers of the Intelligence Investigation Institute. They will be responsible for protecting the leader of the legion. We just let go and attack the city."

    Zhang Bao continued: "Now Zhang Yun and Xu Rui have contacted the Hanhai Dynasty. If we cannot control Baima Pass as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous, so we must not delay."

    ? On the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth banners, Li Mingyi and Zhao Kang also nodded in agreement.

    "You tied me up and called me off, and you just said that you have been dissatisfied with the court for a long time, and hope that you can rebel together."

    When Li Mingyi and Zhao Kang were about to order a strong attack on Baima Pass, Zhang Bao, the deputy army commander, shook his head.

    After the re-pouring and construction of Baima Pass, it can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they attack by force, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

    So Zhang Bao decided to outsmart, that is, use his body as bait, hoping to deceive the wall of Baima Pass.

    "This is too dangerous."

    When Li Mingyi, head of the banner, saw that Zhang Bao wanted to use his body as bait, he also flatly refused.

    "What time is this, don't think so much, execute the order!"

    Seeing that both of them were unwilling, Zhang Bao, the deputy commander of the army, put on the airs of an officer and gave orders directly.

    The two persuaded for a while, but in the end they still couldn't hold back Zhang Bao, so they could only follow Zhang Bao's advice.Leopard's strategy is executed.

    Soon, they tied up Zhang Bao, the deputy commander of the army, and several staff officers, and pushed them to the White Horse Pass.

    "Brother Xu is here, I am Li Mingyi!"

    ? Li Mingyi, head of the 24th Banner, personally stepped forward to call out, and Xu Rui, who asked the wall to observe the situation, was also confused.

    "Brothers go through life and death for the imperial court, but the imperial court sent Jin Yiwei to deal with us. We have been dissatisfied with the imperial court for a long time. Today I tied up the lackeys of the imperial court, Zhang Bao and others, and hoped to join forces with Brother Xu and you to find another future.  Brother Xu please accept it!"

    Li Mingyi, the leader of the banner, shouted loudly under the white horse pass, and Xu Rui, the leader of the 22nd banner on the wall, also showed joy on his face.

    He thought that the news leaked out, that Li Mingyi and Zhao Kang led their troops to beat them, but who knew they came to defect to them.

    "It seems that the court's suppression of meritorious veterans is unpopular!"

    Seeing that Li Mingyi and other people from Zhanzheng College were dissatisfied with the court and wanted to turn against the court, Zhang Yun, the head of the banner, was also full of joy.

    "As long as our four banner regiments join forces in one place, and we occupy a fortress like Baima Pass, great things will happen!"

    "Open and close the door, let Li Mingyi and Zhao Kang enter." Zhang Yun said with a smile.

    Compared with Zhang Yun, the head of the banner, who was happy, Xu Rui, the head of the banner, looked suspicious.

    Although Li Mingyi and others tied up the deputy army commander Zhang Bao and others, he was worried that the other party would cheat.

    "It's okay to let them in, but we have to be on guard." Xu Rui said.

    "Brother Li, there can't be so many brothers stationed in the pass, so it's better for your army to set up camp outside the pass. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet inside the pass to clean up the dust for you, brother Li. What do you think?" Xu Rui shouted outside the pass.

    "Just listen to Brother Xu."

    Li Mingyi, head of the 24th Banner, saw Zhang Bao, the deputy head of the army, give him a wink, and immediately agreed.

    "You set up your camp, and the guards will follow me into the pass!"

    After Li Mingyi finished speaking, he led the guards to detain Zhang Bao and others swaggeringly, and swaggered towards Baima Pass.

    Seeing that Li Mingyi really only came with the guards, Xu Rui, the head of the banner who was suspicious, felt a little relieved.

    "Come on, let's go down and meet him."

    After all, if Li Mingyi and the others join their rebel camp, their strength will be greatly enhanced.

    At that time, whether it is bargaining with the imperial court or negotiating with Hanhai, there will be a lot of bargaining chips.

    Facing this unexpected joy, both Xu Rui and Zhang Yun were very happy in their hearts, so they prepared to go down to the wall to meet Li Mingyi.

    The west gate of Baima Pass was also slowly opening. Although Li Mingyi and the others were excited, they urgently wanted to order to rush to seize the gate.

    But seeing the strong bows and crossbows on the wall, they still resisted the impulse in their hearts, and walked towards the closed door without any haste, not daring to make the slightest movement.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
