midnight.

Lingbao County.

The magistrate, who had just been summoned, looked tremblingly at the approaching white light outside.

At this time, the ghostly sound of opera also came faintly.

Of course, he didn't know what happened.

It was midnight at this time. Although the distance was close, it was impossible for Shaanzhou to rush to deliver the message to him here. It was the archers patrolling the city wall who discovered the strange white light in the distance. In addition, these legends of the Tianhe God had long been

Overflowing, so I quickly went to wake him up. He originally dismissed it as nonsense, but now his legs are also weak...

He sees it very clearly!

Inside the uncertain white light was a vaguely armored general holding a spear.

Standing on a four-horse chariot.

The ghostly opera sound came from him. Combined with the legend of the river god that had been circulated in Shaanzhou, he still didn't understand that this was the arrival of the river god.

But……

What is the river god doing here?

"I am the official Youwu of the Song Dynasty, the observation envoy to Ningzhou, and Li Yanxian, the envoy to the two states of Guo. Today I am the forerunner of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to restore the country of the Song Dynasty. Please open the city gate as soon as possible, otherwise I will punish you with fire from heaven.

"

A voice came out from the white light that had arrived in front of the city gate.

They looked at each other on the city wall.

"County Lord, open the door quickly!"

A clerk said cautiously.

Others agreed one after another. As for how many of them were paid, it's hard to say.

Anyway, Yang Feng had spent a hundred thousand yuan on this river god drama, but he didn't have to pay for it. The price was negotiated between the emperor's grandson and his aunt. With his aunt's style, he would probably earn five to ten times more.

"Yes, but he wants to restore the Song Dynasty. We are ministers of the Ming Dynasty. If we open the city gate, wouldn't we be surrendering?"

The magistrate said tangledly.

"Your Majesty, this is the River God. How can you disobey the River God's orders? If you disobey the River God, he will rain down fire from the sky, and the people of this city will inevitably suffer a catastrophe. What's more, although he calls himself the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are not enemy countries.

.If we count, His Majesty still got the throne from the Song Dynasty. Even at that time, His Majesty also professed vassalage to Han Lin'er, and he was given the title of Dragon and Phoenix. The sun and the moon reopened the Song Dynasty, but His Majesty said so. Even if he calls himself the Song Dynasty, it is nothing more than the Song Dynasty.

He was a loyal minister who did not eat Zhou millet, just like Boyi and Shuqi. As for restoring the Song Dynasty, this was nothing more than his loyalty.

That's not really the case.

Everyone knows that Your Majesty was ordered by heaven, and the Song Dynasty has long since disappeared."

said an elder who had just arrived.

This must be paid, but what he said makes sense. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang has indeed done all these things. He also said that the sun and the moon reopened the Song Dynasty. He has indeed been worshiping the emperor for a long time.

In the Year of Dragon and Phoenix.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly it."

The clerk agreed.

In fact, everyone understands that opening the city gate is indeed suspected of surrender, but the problem is...

At this moment, the fire on the tower behind them suddenly lit up, and then turned into raging flames. There were shouts of terror on the wall, and the elder knelt down without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, please save the people of Hecheng!"

he shouted sadly.

Then everyone on the city wall immediately knelt down, lying there one by one, pleading to the magistrate.

"You haven't opened the door yet!"

Angry shouting came from the white light outside.

Almost at the same time, there was a strange noise, and then a corner of the city tower exploded. The burning pieces of the city tower turned into fire and rained down. Now there was even more panic on the city wall, and some people were even running away in panic. Although it was really a war.

, they should still be able to persist, but now this is the River God, all supernatural powers, how can they dare to resist, of course they must run away immediately.

But the elder and others were still crying and begging the county magistrate.

The latter finally waved his hand helplessly...

"Open the door!"

he said.

No matter what the consequences are!

Anyway, in the current situation, neither the river god outside nor the people in the city can give him any other choice. He should consider the situation in front of him first. Besides, this is the river god and not a mortal. If it is the enemy, he really needs to defend, but the problem is

This is not human.

This is the river god.

As a local official, he indeed has the task of fending off enemies, but does fending off enemies include fending off ghosts and gods?

"The river god calms down, the river god calms down, little ones, please open the door now!"

The elder quickly shouted.

Then the archers and archers ran down in confusion, and hurriedly opened the city gate. Then the River God from outside entered boldly, and the white light on his body became more intense, constantly emitting dazzling flashes, and even looking at it would make you blind. At least for a short time.

He was so powerful that he was so awe-inspiring that everyone, including the magistrate, was so frightened that they knelt down on both sides and touched their heads to the ground in fear, not daring to raise their heads to offend this terrible river god.

Everything he passed was bright, like the walking sun.

At this time, the people in the city also came out one after another, kneeling on the ground in the same posture. Some people brought out the incense table to burn incense, and even placed a god. In their eyes, this was the real god at this moment.

And the river god's chariot was driving slowly among them.

As he moved forward, Lingwu City was filled with fairy music.

…

And at this time.

Hangu Pass is not far away.

Of course, to be precise, it is Hangu Weiguan.

There are three Hanguguan Passes in total. The one who rides a green ox through Hanguan Pass is Qinguan Pass. Xin'an County is Hanguan Pass. However, the north of Qinguan Pass is close to the Yellow River and there is Wei Pass. Because of its military value, it has been completely replaced by Tongguan, so Qinguan Pass

Only ruins have long been left.

However, because Wei Pass was dug by Cao Wei specifically for transporting grain and grass, it replaced the natural pass through Qin Pass and became the main road for east-west transportation for more than a thousand years. However, it is not related at all. It is just a post road.

The pass. And Lingbao County is actually facing the pass. It can even be said that this county was built for this purpose, so it faces it across the river.

To the north of the county is the Yellow River Ferry.

It's just that in modern times, it's all the Yellow River beach area after the reservoir was raised.

"what happened?"

Chen Baihu, lying on the hillside, looked at the flames of Lingbao County in confusion.

In the ravines beside him, a hundred soldiers were hiding, and in the hands of these soldiers were matchlock guns...

They are the second group of ambush soldiers.

Because you still have to pretend to be a bandit after all, it is impossible to set up an ambush in the county town, and this is the place suitable for an ambush. It was originally dug on the mountain ridge during Cao Wei's time. It can be said that muskets were set up on both sides to completely block the passage. As long as Yang

When Feng arrived here, he was beaten to a pulp by a volley of a hundred matchlocks. If not enough, there were thirty hand grenades and fifty thunderbolts used by the Ming army.

It's a large ceramic grenade.

Used to defend the city.

Although it was impossible to throw it with one hand due to the weight problem, the power was indeed sufficient. Firstly, the amount of powder charged was large, and secondly, the Ming Army's gunpowder technology was improved by Yang Feng at this time, so it was more powerful than before.

The lethality can be said to be comparable to that of a grenade.

Of course, just because of the fuze issue, there is no guarantee that Yang Feng will not escape easily.

After all, it is still the fuse that ignites the fire.

But that's not the problem.

As long as the quantity is large enough.

They had been waiting here for more than ten days, but Yang Feng lost his trace immediately after arriving in Luoyang. The only thing that can be determined is that he must have been on his way westward, because someone saw him at Hanhangu Pass

.

However, there has been no news about the first group of ambushes in Xiaoshan.

No ambush was successful, and no ambush failed.

The most likely reason is that he hasn't crossed Mount Wei yet.
To be continued...
