Chapter four hundred and fourteen.
Mao Jue is very troublesome. Caozhou is in the southwestern Shandong Province, next to Kaifeng, Henan, but Mao Jue ordered them to go north quickly. Moreover, the entire Shandong Province has heavy troops gathered in Linqing and Dezhou. It is not realistic to go northeast of Shandong. Although he secretly controlled Caozhou and pulled Caozhou to Dengzhou, a supply line of hundreds of kilometers, he swaggered in front of Shandong Governor Yan Jizu, and passed by tens of thousands of Shandong troops. Song Xiance and Wen Meng's heads were not kicked by donkeys.
Fortunately, after all, I had already experienced the in-depth recruitment of Henan. This time, Song Xiance did not take the First Regiment with Mao Jue's military order, but brought the cavalry of the 123rd Regiment and some horse riders with him, with a total of 600 cavalry and dragon cavalry, and took office with him lightly.
"You must pay attention to safety! Husband, I'm waiting for you!"
Love comes so unexpectedly. Now Wen Meng also realized the feeling of the women at home saying goodbye before Mao Jue left. He was not without women, but the Japanese women he bought were not as warm as romance as water. Looking at Yuan Xianger's red eyes and pulling the corners of the group with his little head hanging, Wen Meng almost couldn't leave.
"Don't worry, your man is desperate! In Liaoyang, our entire team died under the arrow of Jiannu. Only I was shot by an arrow and survived. Those Tartars could not kill me. Are they afraid of just a few thieves?"
"Wait for me at home. When I come back, I will take you back to Dongjiang, okay!"
"Yeah, no matter how long I will wait for you!"
The long eyelashes fanned out with tenderness like water. Seeing Song Xiance ate another mouthful of dog food. At the yamen, he urged impatiently: "General Wen, it will be dark if he doesn't leave!"
"Mr. Song actually didn't marry a wife."
In Yuan Xiang'er's surprise, pressing her ear, Wen Meng said in a low voice with a smile, and then laughed and turned over to the horse.
He looked at Song Xiance's old face in surprise and followed the horse and ran out. Finally, Yuan Xiang'er's pale face also showed a pink color. The cheerful voice began to drag further and further away, and from time to time, a few squeaky hums could be heard.
…………
Although Dongjiang's large-scale immigration attracted countless refugees who were swaying on the streets of Hebei, Henan and Hebei, which indirectly saved more than 100,000 lives, the action was useless to the local area. The southern part of Daming Prefecture, which was already exposed in the wild, had a thousand miles of crowing without a chicken. From Cao County to Dongming, heading north to Daming Prefecture, leaving Kaizhou along the way, Qingfeng and other counties, there was still a little withered population. The rural villages were already without a chicken crowing without a chicken crowing for a thousand miles, and the apocalypse atmosphere was strong.
According to the judgment of the court, Yang Sichang and other ministers, the Qing army was along the canal, along the line of Linqing in Dezhou, and entering Shandong, and the heavy troops were all arranged near the canal. Yan Jizu, the Shandong governor, personally deployed defenses to Dezhou, so that he had just left Daming Prefecture and near Guangzong, he encountered the Ming army troops guarding the river.
"Hey, where did the cavalry come from? Don't get close to it! Or I'll shoot!"
There is an article about wolf in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" by Pu Songling, a Qing Dynasty man, who later generations, describing wolf as both fierce and timid. Now these Ming troops guarding the river are similar. They have built a small military camp on the edge of the Qing River, holding a gun in their hands, and trembling as they shout from afar.
However, these guys stuck the nearest crossing point. Although it was winter, the surface of the river was also unstable. It was still very dangerous for more than 600 cavalrymen to walk away with more than 900 horses. Seeing that the simple and simple ditches were inserted into the deer village, Wen Meng, who showed a tired look, couldn't help but turn his head away with annoyance.
"Military advisor, what do you think of? Take a detour? Break through?"
"Mr. Wen is all people with a wife. If you have such a thing, you have to ask me who doesn't have a wife?"
Sitting on a special saddle and holding the saddle bridge in front, Song Datou hummed weakly. Wen Meng almost fell off his horse. What a guy, this guy is like an old child?
However, Song Xiance rarely becomes the boss when he is confident, because he is confident. Chen Rui, the leader of Mao Jue's personal soldier, squeezed to the front at this time: "Uncle Wen! Lord Song, let the general respond to this, let the last general go!"
As he said that, he and a few personal guards were pretending to fight and untied the black cloak wrapped outside, revealing a red look. Wen Meng couldn't help but look straight.
There was a Hong Kong and Taiwan movie in later generations. I forgot the name, but one of the plots was passively made into an animated picture. The protagonist shouted angrily, "It's great to have money! Can you do whatever you want if you have money? The two bad guys smiled sinisterly: Sorry, you can do whatever you want if you have money!
Of course, this is definitely a bragging thing in the future. My dad was a kang, and he didn't go in the same way in the end? But this sentence in this end of the world is true. If you have money, you can really do whatever you want! Unless you meet someone richer than you.
"Your dog eyes are blind! Flying fish robe and embroidered spring sword! I dare to bare my teeth with me, believe it or not, I will arrest you in the Jinyiwei prison and clean up!"
There are a total of eleven sets of Jinyiwei flying fish suits and black hats, all of which are real. They are given by Lu Zhong, the chief clerk of the North Town Fushi Department of the Capital. Even Chen Rui and the others have really lost their hometowns in the Jinyiwei file, but they are under the command of the unlucky ghost Liu Yu. Lu Zhong does things without any leakage. Even if Chen Rui and the others make up, they will eventually fall on Liu Yu, which has nothing to do with him.
The young man was not pretending to be a ruthless boy, just like the real court hawk. Chen Rui shouted and cursed along the way. The troops guarding the river guards really didn't dare to shoot. When they arrived at the fence, a garrison officer stood up carefully, and nodded and greeted carefully like the puppet troops in the TV series.
"Several factory guards! The Ministry of War ordered the canal to be blocked and no one could pass. Do you have any official documents here?"
"Fuck you!"
Two loud big slaps were thrown out, and the garrison officer couldn't find him. He turned around several circles, but the soldiers angrily pulled out the knife, and were scolded by several officers. He arrogantly took out the waist card, and Chen Rui became even more pretentious.
"Look clearly, my waist card! This is the official document. Hurry up and move these rags away for me. I delay my business work. I will arrest you all and make a Tongluo! I'm not a fucking man! Go quickly!"
"Yes! Yes! The younger one is going here! Let's go here! You are so angry!"
It was so useful! In less than a few minutes, the fence was moved out and a shallow ferry was completely abandoned. Six hundred cavalrymen were respectfully sent out by thousands of river guards, and they crossed the canal like the wind. They were obviously still young people. While walking, Chen Rui was still asking there excitedly.
"Uncle Wen, Lord Song, how about it? Will the breeze last?"
"It's a big deal. Just relying on a dog-skinning sound, I'm just scaring people! But these bastards are really cowardly. No wonder the Ming Dynasty fell to this way. They fight against the Tartars with their own efforts, hum!"
Full of disdain, Wen Meng turned around with contempt and snorted heavily at the river guards.
But at this moment, the outpost horse probing ran back in a hurry and shouted anxiously.
"The army passes through the border! The army passes through the border!"
There should be thousands of cavalrymen, whose horse's hooves were trampled on the frozen official road, and the shock sound was clearly visible to the ears a few miles away. When the cold wind blew, the knight's armor was covered with white frost. The infantry behind them carried spears and pushed the cannons, and they were also hunched over. The thin face was full of vicissitudes, and a big flag with the word Lu was also trembling in the cold wind.
However, the entire army revealed a sense of indomitable progress.
He retreated to the edge of the official road, dismounted his horse, and lowered his body. Wen Meng and the others made way for half an hour. After watching the army pass by, Song Xiance murmured with a smacking tongue: "Wang Yuxing's army, repair my spear, and share the hatred with me! Although the posture of this army is hunched, its momentum is definitely a desperate effort!"
"I took back what I said just now, there are still a few troops in this Ming Dynasty that can fight!"
Wen Meng nodded, but immediately, a sense of worry appeared on his horse's face.
"This place is about to become a battlefield. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go north quickly!"
"That's what it should be!"
Once again, he turned over the horse, and six hundred cavalry rushed on the road, passing by Lu Xiangsheng's troops. However, what Wen Meng didn't know was that when he saw this army again, things had changed.
…………
Although the large Qing army was heading south, a considerable number of them remained in the north, continuing to restrain and threaten the capital, and plunder the places by the way. Gaoyang County was one of the strategic goals of this part of the Qing army.
At this time, the entire Gaoyang County was really at the moment of life and death. The entire city was covered with bright red. The corpses of the county soldiers were lying on the low and dilapidated city walls. Below, Jiannu, who was inlaid with red flags, drove Baoyi and the Eight Banners to attack.
"attack!"
In the rude and cruel roar, the Qing army wearing black rogue armor or wearing red-edged cotton armor and running forward with a bow. These days, the Eight Banners step shooting is truly unparalleled. Even Du Song and Malin, who led the elite firearm troops of the border army, were defeated on this side, and the bow and arrows were really like flying locusts, flying upwards.
The battlements had been shot into hedgehogs, and no one dared to show their heads. Those who dared to show their heads had turned into bodies at their feet in the past few days, and the county soldiers were almost killed or injured at this time. The strong men guarding the city wearing cloth clothes and holding hoes and sticks were breathing rapidly, staring at the dark arrows above their heads.
The arrow rain shot four or five rounds, and the footsteps were almost under the wall. An old voice rang out in anger.
"beat!"
I really have infinite trust in this sound. The young and strong man in Gaoyang City, who was trembling just now, stood up suddenly without exception. The bows and arrows used for hunting and the fire door guns of the big tribes who were fighting rabbits exploded in battlements, and it was also a sound of fire. More than a dozen Jiannu were knocked over to the ground. Then, the ladder was once again placed on the top of the city, and the black Jiannu ants climbed towards the top of the city. The young and strong man on it also threw stones down and waved hoes desperately.
Unfortunately, how did the farmer, cloth seller, pour water, and reader and write in the city compete with these white mountains and black water hunters outside the pass? A young and strong man just raised the stone and slashed through his throat with a slash. The power disappeared instantly, and blood was sprayed. People and stones fell down the city wall. From such a breakthrough, more and more Jiannu climbed up, and the sound of chopping and slashing came one after another. The ghost-headed swords flew, and the young and strong man holding hoes and sticks were chopped on the top of the city one after another.
But even so, the old voice was still screaming wildly.
"Defend the country! Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"
"Old Sun, go back and avoid it! The city wall can no longer hold on!"
One after another screamed, approaching the city gate building, and another sound came. Seeing the county headmaster covering a huge blood hole in his chest and turning it down the city, the county magistrate shouted suddenly with a crying voice.
The eyes were also bloody, and the old man Sun Chengzong couldn't help but stagger. He was really sighing. The Guanningjin defense line, which had resisted Jiannu for ten years, was attacked by him. He also supervised hundreds of thousands of troops to compete with Jiannu, recaptured the four cities of Zunhua, and fought Amin in panic. But now, he has caused only thousands of Tartars to come to the door of the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Nearby is the important town of Baoding Prefecture and Hejian City. The front-line commander Liu Yuliang and the imperial court were stationed there. Tens of thousands of Ming troops did not dare to fight even thousands of Jiannu. Is the Ming Dynasty really the same as himself, and the hero is old?
However, it was only a moment of emotion. After a moment, Sun Chengzong actually pulled out the knife himself, and his gray beard seemed to be about to be erected. The old guy roared irritably
"Since I'm killing the thief to serve the country today, I've fought with these Jianlu for a lifetime. How could I be insulted in the end! Kill!"
"Grandpa, please go and rest for a while, let us juniors fight for this life!"
Seeing this scene, Sun Zhibing, Sun Zhibian, and others, who were born in a scholar, all pulled Sun Chengzong's sleeves in crying voices, but this scene only made Sun Chengzong furious.
"Let me go, a real man dies in the battlefield, how can he be in a death row? And you! You are my Sun family, and the Sun family is full of loyal and greedy people, and there are no people who are afraid of death. If you dare to wag your tail and beg for mercy at Jiannu, don't see me in the underworld if you die! Take the knife and fight!"
But as Jiannu was about to reach the city gate tower, Sun Chengzong, the former Ji Liao governor, was about to fight for the last battle, suddenly someone shouted in surprise.
"The Tartars retreated! The Tartars retreated!"
Just one step away from victory, Jiannu, who was fighting bloody like a mad dog, climbed down from the ladder incredibly and retreated in a hurry. The young and strong guarded Gaoyang City, who survived, sat on the ground with a limp and lying on the top of the city in shock. Sun Zhibing shouted excitedly: "Grandpa, the reinforcements of the court have arrived!"
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
The sounds that followed one after another, with the joy of surviving the disaster, instantly ignited the entire city and followed them to lie on the city. However, Sun Chengzong shouted in fear.
"Zhao County Magistrate Zhao, find someone to pick him up immediately. There are only 600 cavalrymen. Field battles are definitely not the opponent of the Tartars. Hurry up, pick them up to the city, the city..."
The words of the instructions came to an abrupt end. What happened today was like a drama. The plot took a sharp turn. In the stunned mind of Sun Chengzong, the cavalry rushed to the south and sent out ten cavalry to take a few unseen flags and passed by. I don’t know what they had negotiated. The leading cavalry even slapped the opposite Jiannu Niu Luezhen in the face. Then these Tartars actually welcomed the cavalry in Ming Dynasty into the camp.
It is the enemy's reinforcements!
Full of disappointment and reluctance, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sit on the ground.
On the other side, under the city and in the cavalry team, Song Xiance breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
