Chapter 405: The Arrogant Deserter
The east gate of Tongguanwei has long been sealed as a dead end, and the sacks filled with dirt are piled up all over the city gate holes, and if you want to leave from the east gate, you can only move these sacks first.
As night fell, the sergeants guarding the city gate did not light the brazier, wearing a shabby mandarin duck battle jacket and holding a spear with no red tassels in their hands, standing guard at the city gate.
The non-lit brazier was not for concealment, the sergeants were all bitter soldiers, and they couldn't eat, let alone eat meat, which also caused the eyes to be unable to see at night.
You can't see the enemy, and there is no point in concealment, but now the Tongguan guards are lacking in baggage, the bureaucrats and squires refuse to donate, and the government treasury is empty.
The industrialists were not bureaucratic squires all over the world, and their abilities were limited, and no matter how much they donated, it was not enough for the thousands of sergeants in Tongguanwei, so they could only reduce their heavy consumption by reducing their clothing and diet.
The sergeant guarding the east gate was a Qin soldier trained by Sun Chuanting with 'three disciplines and eight major attentions', with strict discipline and a strong will to fight.
They will not find a sheltered corner to sleep in this cold weather like other officers and soldiers, and they all stand in the cold wind with their waists straight under the leadership of the general flag and a few small flags.
In order to prevent the robes from freezing to death, the general banner ran along the dirt road in the city with a team of sergeants when he was fine, ran more than a hundred steps and felt that his body was hot, and looked at a very burly Xiaoqi on the right and asked: "Dawei, what is the body of the old lady in the family." ”
The Qin soldiers recruited by Sun Chuanting have a distinctive feature, all of them are military households from Yulin, one of the nine sides, and the people are fierce at the same time, they are also very simple, and the villagers are quite united among themselves.
Hu Dawei, a burly man wearing a tattered mandarin duck jacket, originally wanted to go to Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Huguang, but later heard that he could eat enough with Sun Chuanting, so he switched to Sun Chuanting.
At that time, the general flag was still a little strange, and the bow and horse riding of Hu Dawei was obviously more promising with Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Huguang, so why did he take refuge in Sun Chuanting for a full meal.
It wasn't until he saw Hu Dawei eating for the first time that Zongqi understood how important it was for Hu Dawei to have a full meal, this person was a giant wild boar, and he could eat six or seven flatbreads in one meal, and each flatbread weighed a pound.
Sun Chuanting heard that there was such a sergeant in the Qin soldiers who could eat, and he came to see it, but he did not scold the rice bucket and not give him food like those guerrilla generals in the past, but praised a strong man and rewarded him with half a catty of wine.
Hu Dawei didn't think about taking refuge in Lu Xiangsheng at all, and took his only relative, Lao Niang, to take refuge in Sun Chuanting, which is also a major feature of Qin Bing, and the military camp allows family members to follow.
Hearing the general flag greeting the old lady, Hu Dawei scratched his head and said: "Mr. Sun asked me to use his robe as a medicine, and my mother will be cured after taking the medicine." ”
Zongqi had heard about this incident, and every time he mentioned it, he couldn't help but rush out and lead people to kill a few more thieves to repay Sun Chuanting's great kindness to the villagers.
In these years when military households were not regarded as human beings, General Sun Bing never deducted food and salary, and often solved many difficulties for Qin soldiers out of his own pocket.
The general flag stretched out his hand and raised it very high before patting it on Hu Dawei's shoulder, and was about to sigh that there must be two thieves in the future, so that Sun Zongbing would have a few more levels of military merit.
Suddenly.
In the distance, there was a firelight in the alley of the street, stretching into a long line of firelight.
Yulin County is located in the border area, and the general banner is also an old soldier who has been guarding the border for many years, and he knows what this firelight dragon means, so he shouted: "Dawei hurriedly retreated, and pulled out the Hongyi cannon at the gate of the city and aimed it at this street." ”
Hu Dawei didn't say a word, hugged his fists, and led his team of Qin soldiers to rush to the city gate two or three hundred steps behind him, and quickly arranged for Qin soldiers to pull out the Hongyi cannon.
Wang Turtle never knew how to ride a horse, but he still pretended to ride a docile Liaodong middle horse, running in small steps at the forefront.
A cronie general beside him saw a group of Qin soldiers not far away and asked, "Benefactor, how to solve the problem of the team of Qin soldiers in front." ”
Wang Turtle Yong waved his palm, as if to drive away some flies, and said in disgust: "Time waits for no one, leaving them can only stand in the way, and kill them all." ”
Not long after he had just taken refuge in Wang Turtle, he was worried that he would not have a chance to express himself, so he rushed over with a team of people.
They did not dare to fight against the Manchu Eight Banners, nor did they dare to face the army of 200,000 thieves, but killing their own people was called an arrogant and domineering.
Hu Dawei had just asked Qin Bing to turn the Hongyi cannon around, picked up a Western clairvoyant mirror to observe the situation three hundred steps away, and saw a scene that made him almost crack the corners of his eyes.
Although they have different surnames, they still have to shout a middle-aged general flag of the ninth grandfather according to the seniority of the township, and under the charge of a team of sergeants wearing bright mandarin duck battle jackets, they fell to the ground defenselessly.
Hu Dawei's teeth gritted 'gurgling', tears kept flowing down, and he threw down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand with all his might, and was about to rush over with a spear.
Fortunately, the other Xiaoqi guarding the east gate were also veterans, and they were all more sensible, knowing that such a big official was not something they could afford to provoke, so they hurriedly rushed over to protect Hu Dawei.
Hu Dawei's strength was too great, and while trying to break free, he roared angrily: "Third uncle and fourth uncle let me go, Grandpa Nine didn't die in the hands of Mongolian Tatars, he died in the hands of his own people raised by these bitches, I want to avenge Grandpa Nine." ”
Hu Dawei's strength is well-known in Yulin County, these few small banners who have been fighting with Mongolian Tatars all year round know that they can't stop him, and a slightly older Xiaoqi hurriedly said: "Hu Hanzi, think about your old lady." ”
"If you die, your wife will definitely not live, and she will die tomorrow."
Hu Dawei is a short-tempered fool, yes, but he is also a dutiful son, and when he heard the words Lao Niang, he stood still and didn't move, just staring at the person who killed the ninth grandfather with tears in his eyes.
More than 2,000 officers and soldiers, under the leadership of Wang Qiyong, piled up in the streets and alleys near the East Gate, and the cronies did not wipe the bloody waist knife, and they were not very afraid of the Hongyi cannons.
The cronies didn't believe that these little pawns dared to shoot at him, but the one standing behind him was the prison army Wang Turtle Yong, and Sun Chuanting had to listen to Wang Turtle Yong's orders, not to mention these little pawns.
The cronies stepped forward with the general horse, condescendingly shook the tallest tiger Dawei with a bloody waist knife, and with a 'snap', a mark was made on his face: "Get out of the way." ”
