The arrival of such a huge army made the faces of the defenders of Boye County change greatly, and for a while, the gong on the city tower sounded, and the chickens and dogs in the city jumped.

The various units of the Tianwu Army set up camp in a spacious place far away from the official road, which is not only spacious, but also has a river, and the location of the camp is very good.

After a period of time, after figuring out that the other party was the Tianwu Army, the Boye County Commander specially came to the camp to meet Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Cihong asked people to send him away, and told him that the army did not want a grain of grain from the local people, so that he could rest assured.

The commander of Boye County left in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses until he walked out of the camp, his face filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

Since the Tatars entered the customs, whenever there were officers and soldiers passing by, the Boye County Commander was worried and afraid, lest the guest soldiers want food, and Boye County would have to be robbed by the officers and soldiers if there was no food to provide.

For the crown prince's killing star, the Boye County Order has long heard of it, and in the past two years, there are nearly 1,000 officials listed in the imperial court newspaper who were beheaded by him.

"The crown prince is really a benevolent monarch, and the Tianwu Army is also a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!" The commander of Boye County sighed and happily returned to the city.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city also breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw the county order come back, and the county officials who were standing on the city wall and waiting, had even ordered a first-class coffin for the county lord in the city......

........

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals of the Tianwu Army with helmets and armor sat around the tent, listening to the information that Long Xiang did not receive at night.

Yang Qili said: "According to the investigation of the headquarters, the slave chief Dolgon led the left wing army has entered the territory of Shandong, and the Tartars in Baoding Mansion are mainly the red and blue flags of the Jiannu right wing army, led by the slave chieftain Yuetuo and Zierharang, with more than 40,000 people, and more than 10,000 Manchurian armored soldiers. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, he still knew about Yue Tuo's information, this is the eldest son of Prince Li Daishan, the banner owner of the red flag, because of his meritorious support for Huang Taiji, he was named Prince Heshuo Cheng, and later he was rectified by Huang Taiji and demoted to Baylor.

Although this thing is Dolgon's nephew, it is more than ten years older than Dolgon, and in a month it will be forty years, which is also half an old thing.

Yang Qili said again: "There is a force of Tartars attacking the city in Gaoyang County, and there are no defenders in Gaoyang City, I am afraid that it will be broken.......

Mao Yuanyi, who was originally listening attentively to the information, shook violently, and he stood up suddenly, startling everyone.

Mao Yuanyi shouted: "How many slaves and thieves are there? ”

Being shouted by him, Yang Qili also felt inexplicable, and said angrily: "There are 1,000 Manchurian armored soldiers, 3,000 Han troops of the Eight Banners, a total of 4,000!" There is also a 5,000-strong Tartar army in Gaoyang County, whose whereabouts are unknown, and the direction of the march should be south. ”

Mao Yuanyi clasped his fists at Zhu Cihong and saluted: "Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead his soldiers and horses to Gaoyang to rescue, and kill this group of slaves and thieves without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Everyone was shocked, very puzzled, why is the surname Mao so excited today, isn't it a small city, and it's not an important town like Baoding, he actually wants to lead a brigade of 5,000 people to rescue, and he doesn't want to play like this if he wants to make meritorious contributions, right?

Zhu Cihong groaned: "You want to save Gaoyang County because of Sun Ge Lao!" ”

Mao Yuanyi said in a trembling voice: "Yes, Sun Ge Lao Yu will have a great grace at the end, and the last general will regard him as a teacher, please fulfill it Your Highness!" ”

Saying that, Mao Yuanyi put down his previous arrogance, made a big salute to Zhu Cihong, knelt on the ground, and asked Zhu Cihong again for permission to rescue Gao Yang.

The generals sighed, this old thing who was born in a scholarly family is usually arrogant, and he doesn't take these rough generals in his eyes, but he didn't expect to have such a loyal side, he is a gentleman!

Zhou Yuji opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, the last general agrees to Brigade Marshal Mao's request!" ”

Zhu Cihong pondered for a moment and said, "Accurate!" Bring your baggage brigade with you, gather 10,000 people, and after solving the matter of Gaoyang, by the way, you will also destroy the 5,000 people in Gaoyang who are preparing to go south! ”

Mao Yuanyi said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

After standing up, Mao Yuanyi glanced at Zhou Yuji gratefully, and immediately left the big tent and gathered his subordinates to prepare to send troops.

Zhu Cihong originally only wanted to send some cavalry to rescue, but the army had been rushing for nearly 20 days in a row, especially after entering Beizhili, and he was already exhausted after a continuous rapid march against the wind and snow.

According to the calculation of time, Sun Chengzong was afraid that he would not be able to save it, so Zhu Cihong ordered the intelligence officers of Jinyiwei some time ago to ask Sun Chengzong to go south to avoid the Qing army in the name of the crown prince, but he refused.

Sun Chengzong also returned a copy to Zhu Cihong, which probably means: If the ministers are afraid of slaves and flee, then more officials in the Ming Dynasty will abandon the city and flee!

For this veteran of the Three Dynasties with a strong sense of responsibility, Zhu Cihong is very helpless, he may not be able to save Sun Chengzong, but Lu Xiangsheng He will definitely be able to save it, because Lu Xiangsheng's desperate place of death, the Julu area has been recovered by Sun Yingyuan.

When Mao Yuanyi entered Gaoyang City, the war was over, and the city was full of devastation, with corpses and blood stains everywhere.

Mao Yuanyi seemed to have lost his soul, wandering around in Gaoyang City, recklessly stumbling into the familiar Sun Mansion House, where there were banners hanging everywhere, white flowers and flowers, as if covered by snow.

"What about the teacher? Where is the teacher? Mao Yuanyi exclaimed lightly.

He muttered to himself: "The master must be waiting for me in the study, invite me to drink a bowl of coarse tea, and taste the newly honed poems and ...... together."

Mao Yuanyi stumbled into the study, only to see a young man standing there quietly with a vegetarian body, with the same sword eyebrows and starry eyes as his teacher.

"Nephew, where is the teacher?" Mao Yuanyi opened his mouth and said.

Sun Zhishu's cheeks twitched in pain, hiding his face and weeping, and he was already silent.

Sun Zhishu is the eldest grandson of Sun Chengzong, in the Beijing division Jinyi Wei as the commander of the affairs, when the Qing army attacked Gaoyang, he was not in the city, survived, learned that Gaoyang was besieged, Sun Zhishu hurriedly rushed back, but it was still late.......

Mao Yuanyi looked at the familiar study, and remembered the past when he lived in Sun's Mansion and discussed things with Shi Xiang, at that time, Shi Xiang always took the newspaper he had just delivered, and sighed a few times for the current situation where the smoke was everywhere.

Mao Yuanyi's eyes swept over the wall and saw an iron coat hanging on the wall, this armor was worn by the division when he was the first supervisor of Liaodong, it was not heavy, and it was to block some hidden arrows. In the year of the change, he changed his transfer with his division repeatedly, patrolling the Beijing division, going to Tongzhou, and saving Yongping again.

Ten years later, the iron armor is still shiny, and the cold light that has been wiped is dignified.

Mao Yuanyi stroked the nail piece, and the chill came down his fingertips, still like the wind in Liaodong, cutting people's bones painfully.

Mao Yuanyi hugged the iron armor into his arms and said leisurely: "The master once said that the armor can only block swords, guns and iron halberds, but it can't block the cold arrows from the court. ”

Mao Yuanyi, who was excited by the cold armor, came to his senses, and he finally remembered what he was doing on this trip, and wanted to understand why Gaoyang City was full of devastation, and who was the curtain that filled the room full of houses.

Mao Yuanyi stumbled into the mourning hall, and almost fainted when he saw the rows of spiritual positions behind the dim candlelight.

The seven sons of the teacher, more than a dozen grandchildren, plus the nephews and nephews of the same generation, a huge family, all went to the national disaster, and no one broke the festival, only the eldest son who was an official outside was left......

The house was full of children and grandchildren, but it couldn't withstand the loyalty of the martyrs, Mao Yuanyi held the coffin and cried bitterly, and tears kept slipping from the corners of his eyes.

Sun Zhishu's servant ran in in a panic and said, "The eldest young master, the body of the second master has been found......

"Second uncle!" Sun Zhishu lay in wait and cried.

When Mao Yuanyi heard the reputation, he saw that Sun Ji didn't know what kind of torture he had suffered, and only a corpse with mutilated limbs remained.

"Chu Wei ....." Mao Yuanyi muttered Sun Jiao's words, and his face was even more sad.

Sun Ji and Mao Yuanyi are of the same age, the two met in Ningyuan, and they were the best friends, but now they were tortured by Jiannu like this.......

Mao Yuanyi's eyes were bloodshot, and he kowtowed a few times to the dozens of spirit positions in the mourning hall, raised his hand and swore an oath: "I swear to kill all the slaves and thieves!" ”
