There was a peaceful scene in Yuling Pass in Taichu. It was different from Donglin Pass in New Han Dynasty. Although Yuling Pass also closed the city gate, there were still many people living in the pass. Most of them were very concerned about the war between Taichu and Dongxia. Fortunately, Taichu Only if they can live in peace with New Korea can they avoid war.
Yuling Pass is jointly guarded by Taichu warriors and Qinghe warriors. They are always paying attention to the movements of Donglin Pass on the opposite side. After Xinhan closed the country, they were more leisurely than before. They could only rely on chatting to keep their spirits up, otherwise they would be bored. Being on duty makes people really sleepy.
The favorite thing these Taichu soldiers like to do is to tease the Qinghe sergeants who speak the Central Plains dialect. Although the Qinghe people can speak some Central Plains dialect, most of them are beginners, and they also require that they must communicate in the Central Plains Mandarin, so they made a fuss. Lots of jokes.
These Qinghe people are very gentle in temperament. Not only will they not get angry when being laughed at by the Taichu soldiers, they will also smile at the Taichu soldiers. This further encourages the arrogance of the Taichu soldiers. Bullying by the Taichu soldiers often occurs at Yuling Pass. The affairs of the Qing Dynasty and the army.
The Qinghe people seemed to be humble to the core. Even the commander of the Qinghe Army had never been angry because of this kind of thing.
The commander of the 100,000 Qinghe troops on the Western Front is Aoba Shinichi, one of the four earth generals under the command of Tianjiang Taku. He is the youngest of the earth generals and is only in his thirties now.
A courtyard in Yuling Pass that is second only to the Shogun's Palace is Aoba Shinichi's mansion. There are only a few Qinghe guards in the mansion, and the other 40,000 Qinghe troops are stationed outside the pass.
In the residence of Commander Qinghe, Aoba Shinichi, who was wearing a Central Plains-style gown, was discussing matters with others. Aoba Shinichi seemed to like the Central Plains culture very much after coming to Taichu. His dress and behavior were not much different from those of the Central Plains people.
At this time, Aoba Shinichi and two Qinghe generals were standing in front of the sand table. The two generals were the two deputy commanders of the Qinghe Army on the Western Front. They were the commanders of the Qinghe Army stationed at the other two border passes.
Aoba Shinichi's Mandarin of the Central Plains was very clear, and there was no hint of a clear accent. He said to the two deputy commanders: "General Tian ordered me to wait for the fifth day of April to cooperate with the New Korean Army to attack the three passes of Taichu at the same time. .”
The more ferocious of the two deputy commanders smiled solemnly and said: "General Tian's order has finally arrived. The boys under this general have long been unable to stand these hateful Taichu soldiers. I will give them a big surprise when the time comes!"
Another deputy commander, both in appearance and voice, was more feminine. He said in a sharp voice that made people very uncomfortable: "Hey, General Guanglian is so majestic and makes people very scared. Don't capsize in the gutter when the time comes. , but was beaten to a pulp by the Taichu people."
The feminine general rolled his eyes and looked mocking, which made the general known as Guanglian look very ugly. He said angrily: "Xianmen, you are neither a man nor a woman, if you continue to talk nonsense here, Believe it or not, I will chop you down!"
Xianmen said with disdain: "Just you? I can kill you with one hand!"
Guanglian wanted to say something, but he saw Aoba Shinichi staring at him, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
When Xianmen saw that Guanglian was silent, he thought that Guanglian had softened. He put his hands on his hips and was about to taunt him for a few more games when he heard Aoba Shinichi's slightly angry voice: "If General Xianmen talks nonsense again, be careful with me, General." The law will punish you!"
General Senmon, who was originally as arrogant as a victorious rooster, immediately wilted when he heard this, and looked at Aoba Shinichi timidly, looking aggrieved.
Aoba Shinichi said seriously: "I don't care how deep the grievances between the two of you are, general. Now you will obey my orders honestly under me. If anything is revealed, you know what I will do!"
The two generals, Hirouto and Senmon, both looked at Aoba Shinichi with some fear, and unanimously expressed their submission.
Aoba Shinichi then smiled and said: "Hurry back and prepare, don't make any mistakes."
The two deputy commanders took the order and left.
After the two left, Aoba Shinichi returned to his bedroom. He walked to his bed and gently turned a pillar of the wooden bed. There was a sound of rotating machinery in the wall next to the bed, and the wall moved sideways and appeared. A secret room.
Aoba Shinichi stepped into the secret room with a slight leap. There was a faint light in the secret room, and it was filled with all kinds of frightening torture instruments. The number was more than that of a large prison.
Dozens of corpses were hung on one wall of the secret room, each one very terrifying. Some of these corpses looked like they had not yet begun to rot. It could be seen that they had been tortured before they were born. There were various horrific wounds on the skin of the corpses. Not a trace of skin on the body was intact, and the organs were damaged in many places.
In addition to corpses with varying degrees of decay, there are also several skeletons that have completely turned into white bones. These skeletons are fixed on the wall but are incomplete, and part of the body has disappeared.
The entire secret room reeked of a disgusting stench.
Aoba Shinichi actually breathed the air in the secret room with a look of enjoyment. He stared at the corpses with a sinister smile on his face. He licked his lips and said to himself: "Finally I can kill people openly!"
Aoba Shinichi is kind on the surface, but he is famous among the Qinghe army for his bloodthirsty. The most frightening thing is that those who fall into his hands will not be killed immediately, but will be tortured by him using various cruel methods. , almost everyone in the Qinghe army was afraid of him.
After arriving at Yuling Pass, in order to win the trust of the Taichu Army officers, he disguised himself as a gentle foreigner who loved the culture of the Central Plains. This disguise was successful. Wang Yueming, the guard of Yuling Pass, was very fond of this Qinghe commander. They have a good relationship and have gotten along well over the past few years, and they even drink and have fun together from time to time.
It's just that this habit of killing can be tolerated for a while but not for a lifetime. After Aoba Shinichi's murderous desire breaks out, he will use his master-level skills to find prey in the city at night. The people he captures include traffickers and foot soldiers. There are young ladies in the boudoir, and there are Taichu warriors. In short, his goals are not fixed, and there are men, women, old and young.
He only cares about the pleasure of killing but doesn't care much about the identity of the victim.
The prey will be brought to the secret room next to his bed, and they will survive in endless pain and fear for a period of time. Aoba Shinichi will use various inhuman means to torture them, such as peeling off skin and cramps, gouging out eyes and cutting off tongues. A common meal.
Aoba Shinichi will try his best to keep his prey alive as long as possible, and he will even treat these poor people while abusing them. However, this is not because he has good intentions, but simply because he hopes to torture his prey for a longer period of time.
After the prey couldn't bear the torture and died, Aoba Shinichi would not take them away and dispose of them. Instead, they were hung in a secret room as a collection and kept with him all day long...
The fifth day of April is the solar term of Beginning of Summer. Beginning of Summer is also called the end of spring. Summer has begun in southern areas such as Eastern Xia or Youzhou, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. However, Yulingguan is located in the north. At this time, It's the time when spring is in full bloom.
Late at night, soldiers from Taichu and Qinghe were patrolling the city wall of Yulingguan. The weather in Beginning of Summer was too comfortable. The soldiers from Taichu listened to the chirping of insects outside Yulingguan, and most of them were a little drowsy. sleep.
They didn't notice that the Qinghe people they often bullied didn't feel sleepy at all, and there was a faint look of cruelty on their faces.
Outside Yuling Pass, tens of thousands of cavalry were galloping toward Yuling Pass. Soon the sharp-eyed Taichu warrior discovered the traces of the cavalry. He was about to issue an early warning. Just when he opened his mouth without making a sound, a sharp blade was inserted into it. His back was touched and his mouth was blocked with hands.
Many Taichu soldiers were killed quietly like this.
Under the dispatch of Aoba Shinichi, the number of Qinghe people responsible for guarding the Yulingguan city gate has exceeded that of the Taichu warriors. Those Taichu warriors did not pay much attention to it. Their comfortable days have long been lost. Be alert.
Finally, a vigilant Taichu soldier escaped the sneak attack from the Qinghe people behind him. He shouted in disbelief: "Enemy attack! Enemy..." Before he could say a few words, he was chopped to the ground by the Qinghe people.
The soldier's sacrifice as a warning finally made the Taichu Army begin to notice, but it was too late. The Qinghe Army, which was originally an ally, began to massacre the Taichu soldiers on a large scale.
At this time, the Yuling Pass was full of shouts of "enemy attack" and heart-rending screams. Those Taichu soldiers who died could not believe until their death that those who struck them with thunder were those who were usually extremely powerful. A gentle, humble and peaceful person.
Under the bloody massacre of the Qinghe people, the city gate of Yulingguan was lost. The Qinghe army took control of the gate of Yulingguan. They quickly opened the city gate, lowered the moat suspension bridge, and tens of thousands of elite Xinhan cavalry rushed into Yulingguan. , there are still more than 100,000 New Korean troops marching towards Yuling Pass.
After the New Korean Army entered the city, the battle was no longer suspense.
Those Qinghe soldiers who had endured for many years finally showed their cruel and greedy side. When all the Taichu soldiers were slaughtered, Qinghe people began to rush into the homes of ordinary people living in Yulingguan.
Because it was late at night, most people were awakened by the shouts of killing while they were sleeping. They did not know what happened. The helpless people could only hide at home to avoid being affected.
The Qinghe soldiers who entered private houses and various shops burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.
At the door of a private house, a helpless woman was being raped by several Qinghe soldiers. Before that, her husband and children had been brutally murdered by these Qinghe soldiers. And because she was somewhat pretty, she was raped by these demons. He was dragged out of his home to do those beastly things.
The faces of those Qinghe people were extremely ferocious, and now they had completely exposed their true nature.
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves, and a group of cavalry passed by and saw this scene.
The leader of this group of cavalry was a fat man whose body was shaking when he was riding. His horse was much taller and stronger than the others. Even such a horse seemed to be struggling to carry him.
The fat man's face was very ugly when he saw this scene, with a look of disgust on his face. He pulled out a long knife from his waist and gestured to the cavalry behind him. Eight cavalry rushed out from the cavalry team. The fat man directly He led the eight cavalry towards those frantic Qinghe soldiers.
The fat man and the cavalry raised their swords and lowered their swords. Those Qinghe people who were still grinning and committing violence had no time to react and were all killed.
Seeing that she had been saved, the naked woman knelt down in front of the fat man, regardless of her nakedness, and kowtowed three times.
When the fat man was about to speak, the woman raised her head and glanced at him gratefully. Then she hit the courtyard wall with a determined expression, blood spurted out, and she fell to the ground.
When the cavalry dismounted to check, the woman had already died.
The fat man said angrily: "Damn you, damn barbarians. These people will be my people of Xinhan in the future, but they are treated like this by these Qinghe people. Find Commander Qinghe quickly!"
Several cavalrymen followed the order and found Aoba Shinichi who had already killed him at the Taichu military camp.
Aoba Shinichi was brought to the fat man. The fat man who could make Commander Qinghe be so obedient knew without a doubt that he must be the new King of Korea, Han Linfu.
Han Linfu said to Aoye Shinichi with an angry look on his face: "The people in Guancheng will be our Xinhan people in the future. They must not be disturbed. Go and restrain your subordinates quickly. If not, don't blame me, Old Han, for turning his back on them!"
Aoba Shinichi smiled and said: "Your Majesty the King of New Han, today is the day when you and I will work together to defeat Taichu. My sons and daughters have been too frustrated in the past few years, so let them vent their anger. Besides, my people are scattered throughout the country. It’s not that easy to control in the city.”
Han Linfu looked angry and said majestically: "I don't care about you. If you can't restrain them, I will take action. I guarantee that not many of you Qinghe people can leave Yuling Pass."
Seeing Han Linfu's serious look, Aoba Shinichi gave up his plan to argue with Han Linfu again. Although he was dissatisfied, he still agreed to go back and restrain the Qinghe Army.
Under Aoba Shinichi's order, the Qinghe people's atrocities against the people in the city finally stopped. It was not at all as difficult as he and Han Linfu said, and his intimidating power in the Qinghe army was evident.
After a night of fighting, all three passes on the Western Front fell. The Taichu Western Front defenders, who were double betrayed by Xinhan and Qinghe, were almost completely wiped out.
