Chapter 208: It's time to turn the other cheek
Driving, driving, driving, in the middle of the night, on the official road in the direction of Jiaocheng, three hundred iron horsemen braved the cold and galloped.
Tomorrow Chang Yu must be on the front line to supervise the war, from a business point of view, this is his duty, from a personal point of view, he is extremely eager to witness what the war of this era is like and what the strength of the thief army is.
Of course, more importantly, tomorrow is mainly about cheating, he is a veteran in this regard, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing's gang of goods is not a human spirit, with him here, at least there will be no secret loss, Zhou Yuji and others will also feel at ease.
When Chang Yu arrived in Jiaocheng, it was already early in the morning, and he felt that the atmosphere was different before he entered the city.
There is a looming killing aura hidden under the dripping vigilance!
The men and horses on the East Road have been withdrawn, including the 5,000 mobile troops temporarily stationed in Nan'an Town, who have also withdrawn to Jiaocheng for rest.
The county government was brightly lit, although it was already one or two o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yuji and several of his subordinates had not rested, discussing something around the sand table.
"In the face of absolute power, all schemes are in vain" Chang Yu walked into the lobby, picked up the teapot and poured a few sips and said with a smile: "But in front of the same strength, whoever is yin and black enough will have a big chance of winning."
Zhou Yuji looked at Niu Yong, Wang Yongkui and a few people laughed, since the little eunuch he knew, he didn't think he was a righteous gentleman, and he couldn't think of anyone else who could compare with him in terms of insidious cunning for the time being.
The sky was bright, and at this time in the past, the soldiers began to start their morning training, which was very noisy, but today it is unusually quiet.
Even Chang Yu, who always gets up early to exercise on weekdays, also sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and his 300 palace numbers also do not conduct morning training.
Sleep naturally, eat well, sleep well, and stay in the best condition, this is Chang Yu's unified military order under the whole army last night.
God doesn't know whether to give Chang Yu a meal today, but one thing is certain, he didn't give him a good face.
Chang Yu, who walked out of the room after washing, couldn't help but shiver, and looked up at the gray sky: "Is there a sleet?" Hey, any of you have arthritis, feel it."
Duan Wuhu, who was gobbling up breakfast in the courtyard, Zhou Tianpeng and others laughed: "Back to the factory, our bodies are good, and we can't feel it."
After the meal, on the street inside the south gate of Jiaocheng, the three hundred palaces were lined up neatly, Chang Yu looked at them with a solemn expression and said: "There will be a battle to be fought today, it is the kind of real swords and guns that will bleed and die, and then our family will definitely play, as for you, our family does not force everything to be voluntary, and those who are willing to go into battle with our family to kill the enemy, and those who are unwilling will not be held accountable."
After speaking, Chang Yu looked at them coldly, these three hundred people are composed of the government guards, Teng Xiangwei and eunuchs, among them, only Teng Xiangwei has really been on the battlefield, or Teng Xiaowei has experience on the battlefield, as for this group of people who have not been on the battlefield right away, it is still unknown.
So to be exact, they are almost all rookies who have never been on the real battlefield.
"I am willing to go on the battlefield with my lord to kill the enemy!"
Three hundred people shouted at the same time, and the prestige was not small, attracting the soldiers on duty in the city to look sideways.
Chang Yu smiled slightly, and the expression on his face did not change much, because he knew that these people's hearts were also bright, firstly, it was a matter of duty to kill the enemy as a soldier, and secondly, who would dare not say that he would not play at this time!
To be honest, it's all hard to star.
At ten o'clock, the cold wind at the head of the city was cold, cold and biting, Zhou Yuji and Chang Yu stood side by side and looked south, and the entourage of the soldiers behind them all looked solemn.
"It's snowing" Zhou Yuji stretched out his hand and whispered, Chang Yu looked up at the sky, it was so small that it was almost invisible drizzle.
This kind of weather is very annoying, if you want to go down, you will have a big field, at least it can alleviate the drought, and it is always this kind of not soft or hard that makes people unhappy and uncomfortable.
In the distant wilderness, a few fast horses galloped and soon reached the bottom of the city.
"Report to your lord, more than 30,000 thieves have arrived in Wuling Village!"
Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji glanced at each other when they heard this, the two couldn't help sighing, a little lost, they were sent 30,000 horses, their hearts were self-evident, and they were already on guard.
"Is there a big banner with a plum character?" Chang Yu asked.
"Go back to the factory, there is!" Exploration Horse Road.
Chang Yu's face lit up, it seems that Li Zicheng came in person, and it is not surprising that there are heavy troops, and the other party may not be targeted to take precautions.
Soon, in the reckless wilderness in the distance, a black and oppressive dark cloud appeared between heaven and earth, slowly getting bigger and bigger, and the thief army was close to the visible range!
Whew, Chang Yu clenched his fists, he was a little nervous, anyone who saw this kind of scene of the army pressing the realm couldn't help but be nervous! The kind of visual impact of the approaching thousands of troops is far from the shock that 3D movies can bring in later generations, not to mention the majestic murderous aura, immersive, and the legs are not weak enough to be brave enough.
Secretly glanced at Zhou Yuji beside him, and saw that his expression was indifferent, but his fists were also bent, which showed that his heart was also surging, but he had seen a lot of this kind of scene, and his momentum was stable.
"Tell the order to go out of the city" Zhou Yuji raised his right hand, and a personal soldier behind him turned his head and shouted to the bottom of the inner city.
The south gate of the city was wide open, Niu Yong came out first, and more than 10,000 soldiers followed closely behind and slowly lined up 200 meters outside the city.
As soon as the array was placed, the thief army over there had arrived two miles away from Jiaocheng, the black pressure covered the sky and the sun, that kind of oppressive force really made people's hearts beat to their throats, and they could jump out at any time, Chang Yu only knew at this time the difference between facing the bandits and facing the regular army, and the pressure of facing hundreds of people and 10,000 people was simply worlds apart.
The thief army stopped and looked outside the two miles, nearly 100 flags in the thousands of troops and horses were waving in the wind, and even momentum, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and saw that there were also many banners in the Ming army array under the city, including Zhou, Niu, Wang, etc.
It looks very magnificent, when will Lao Tzu hang it up! Chang Yu secretly made a decision in his heart, is it better to hang Chang or Gong Hao?
Just when he was distracted, a few fast horses rushed out of the thief army, Niu Yong immediately sent people forward, and after a few words in the middle, the two sides returned separately.
"General, the thief invites you," the herald of the city said loudly with his head held high.
Zhou Yuji nodded slightly, turned his head and looked at Chang Yu: "Father-in-law Chang, I'll go first"
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Today, I'm afraid that the dark arrow will be difficult to use, and the general should be mentally prepared."
"Then let's fight brightly and see a superior" Zhou Yuji laughed and went down to the city.
Bang bang, Chang Yu clenched his fists, and looked at Zheng Nan's face was pale: "Fuck it" and then go down to the city.
On the west side of the city gate, three hundred palace men and horses, wearing helmets and armor, carrying bows and swords, are waiting for them on the horses.
Chang Yu walked down from the city, Chunxiang led his war horse, took the mountain armor to help him put it on, Fang San came over with the Pu knife: "Factory Gong, after grinding all night, sharpen iron like mud."
"Why are we going to sharpen iron when our idle eggs hurt, this is used to sharpen heads" Chang Yu quipped, everyone laughed, and the original nervous mood was relieved a lot.
"Then chopping off the head is like cutting vegetables, it's sharp enough anyway", Fang San smirked.
Chang Yu took the Pu knife, held the head of the knife and blew on the blade: "Drink the blood of thieves today!" ”
The people and horses on both sides were only two miles apart, and Zhou Yu Ji Shuai had more than ten personal soldiers, and slowly marched south in the formation of horses, staring at the few people who walked out of the opponent's formation, his face became more and more ugly.
Li Zicheng didn't come!
It was Li Guo and Li Yan and Niu Jinxing who came
Things are really not so simple, and Zhou Yuji's heart is cold.
"General Zhou looks good today" The two sides were five meters away from each other, holding the reins, Li Guo smiled slightly, and hugged his fist at Zhou Yuji: "After today, we will be colleagues with the court, and we will be closer in the future."
Zhou Yuji glanced at him expressionlessly, then looked behind him, and said lightly: "General Li doesn't feel like he has surrendered with such a man, but seems to have come to slaughter."
"General Zhou laughed and was more hearty, Taiyuan talked about peace and got General Zhou to surrender This is a big deal, this move is grand, there is no other intention!"
Li Guo smiled.
"It's too grand, Zhou can't afford it," Zhou Yuji snorted.
"Since General Zhou said so, then Li is also curious" At this time, Li Yan turned out to be stubborn: "As far as I know, your army is no less than 30,000 in Jiaocheng, dare to ask other people?" “
"The marquis in the city," Zhou Yuji said lightly.
Oh, Li Yan nodded slightly and asked: "Since it is a surrender, why don't the soldiers dismount and the soldiers don't abandon their weapons?" Saying that, he looked at Zhou Yuji and sneered: "Instead, he is fully armed, and the bow and arrow shield bearer is in front, the cavalry is in the center, and the foot pawn is in the back of the palace, this is an attack formation, please General Zhou to relieve his doubts!" “
"Undoubtedly" Zhou Yuji snorted: "Isn't this that you haven't surrendered yet."
"What? Is General Zhou going back on his word? Li Guo's face changed, and he suddenly darkened: "Is it your intention or the intention of King Zhou and Cai Maode?" “。
Zhou Yuji laughed: "General Li, don't panic, according to the previous agreement, the general should be regarded as a surrender only when he receives the edict of King Chuang."
When Li Guo heard this, his face was soothed, and he turned his head to look at Niu Jinxing.
Niu Jinxing took out a letter from his arms and handed it to an entourage beside him.
The entourage dismounted and carried the book to the front of Zhou Yujima.
Zhou Yuji took the letter and unfolded it, with ten lines at a glance and an expressionless face.
"Everything that King Chuang should do has been covered, General Zhou can let your men and horses out of the city now, abandon your weapons."
Niu Jinxing stared at Zhou Yujidao.
"Not going into the city?" Zhou Yuji raised his eyebrows and asked.
"In hindsight, all you need for General Zhou and his subordinates to gather men and horses outside the city and abandon their weapons is all they need to do." Li Yan's eyes were blazing.
"I threw away all my weapons, could it be that General Li asked me to wait and follow you to charge into battle with my bare hands to fight the world?" Zhou Yuji smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Li Guo and the others' hearts sank, their breathing became turbid, and Zhou Yuji's attitude was already showing his true face.
It is unreasonable for my father and General Li to be worried, and the Ming army really set up a game of waste chess to play trickery and delay time.
"Zhou Yuji, ...... you" Niu Jinxing was just about to scold sharply, when he suddenly saw the army behind Zhou Yuji disperse, and a group of men and horses drove quickly.
Li Guo and the others were shocked, and hurriedly turned around, and at this time, there was also a group of people behind him coming quickly!
