Eighty-seven
The battle at the bottom of the mountain has been reduced to a pot of porridge, but there is a strange calm on the mountain. Keep in mind
The solid soil layer was automatically opened, and Yue Xiang and the others emerged from it.
I saw seven or eight charred craters scattered on the ground, the soil on the ground was turned out and scattered in a radial shape, and some fragments of broken and deformed iron bullets were scattered all over the ground, and more than a dozen mutilated and bloody corpses of people and horses were lying nearby. One of the craters was not far from them, and if it weren't for the protection of Qimen Dun A's technique, the shells would have hit him on the head.
I really don't know how to describe today's encounter, Yue Xiang just felt that his life was too big, he thought that this time it would fall into the hands of the Jurchens, but he didn't expect that a bunch of officers and soldiers would come out in the end, as well as Jinyi Guard. I also witnessed scenes of strange movie stunts.
I shouldn't have died...... Yue Xiang let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the only two people left nearby, Wang Haoxian and Li Guoyong, these two no longer looked like the spring breeze just now, Li Guoyong bled with seven orifices, obviously his body was extremely injured, and he couldn't stand steadily, so Wang Haoxian helped him, and the expression on his face was terrifying. Wang Haoxian was no better, holding the hematoma in his chest, his face was pale, and it seemed that the internal injuries were not light.
Yue Xiang turned his head to look at the two weirdos, obviously all the way. It shows that the other person is also eating official meals, I really didn't expect that Yang Hao was really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger by his side, and there was actually such a martial arts master who was proficient in magic.
He thought it was the mud man who came out of the ground to get rid of the living corpse, but later he realized that it was just a move, and it was the shadow man who really trapped the corpse. The natives were just trying to attract the attention of Kaiwang Haoxian and Li Guoyong, so that the shadow people could take the opportunity to sneak up on Li Guoyong, and there was no doubt that this trick was very beautiful.
But he believed that the clay man must also have some kind of unknown magic stunt, perhaps he had already performed it quietly just now.
"Did you already make an appointment to meet here?" He looked at Wang Yining, who was sitting on the side, but saw that he had a normal look on his face, obviously not denying it, but just asked, "How do you know?" ”
"I wondered, first the Zhenghong Banner, then Manggutai, and then this group of officers and soldiers, how could it be so coincidental that everyone was waiting for me here. I don't believe that no one in here sent the news outside to kill me, Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai have already hung up, and if you think about it, only you are eligible. When you tell me about those Donglin parties, you are actually deliberately diverting my attention, aren't you? Seeing that your palm technique just now is similar to this old man's, you can't be senior brothers, right? Wait, you're not going to be a brocade guard too, are you? ”
After Yue Xiang finished speaking, his face almost came to Wang Yining's face, looking at him as if he was looking at some rare animal.
Wang Yining just smiled: "I knew that you would definitely be able to see the problem, and I didn't plan to hide it from you anyway." He was indeed taught by the same master as me, but that didn't prevent me from associating with the Donglin scholars. He eats mixed rice in Jinyiwei, and I eat mixed rice on the rivers and lakes, and everyone goes their own way. Jin Yiwei's stinky reputation, I can't climb high. ”
Wang Yining's mouth was unobstructed, but the two brocade guards didn't react, as if they were listening to a joke, and they didn't get angry when they smiled. Keep in mind
"Really? Since you can't climb high, can you explain to me what is going on this time? ”
"What's so easy to explain this, you should be able to guess a ** is not far from ten. Everyone is here for the same purpose. Besides, if it weren't for them, you'd have been shot into a hedgehog by now. Wang Yining has always spoken in such a roundabout way, Yue Xiang really can't figure out which one he is now.
"Strange, in that case, didn't you already know that clue, so why wait until now." Yue Xiang was strange, Wang Yining had long known the secrets on the incense burner mountain, if he was working for Yang Hao, why didn't he release the news earlier, but he didn't say it until now, could it be that this guy actually has some selfish intentions?
"It's my business or not, but we've only recently been in touch." Wang Yining shrugged his shoulders and said it lightly. Yue Xiang thought about it and understood that Liaodong was originally the land of Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong, and it was Zhang Chengyin who was in charge of the army. Liaodong is located outside the Guan, and the local civil and military officials have their own faction, and the people of the imperial court can not easily intervene.
Now Zhang Chengyin died in Fushun, Li Weihan was removed from his post and arrested in the capital, and the two pillars of Liaodong officialdom and civil and military forces have fallen, and Yang Hao has been able to emerge. Since he has just come to Liaodong to take up his post, he has just started to carry out various work, so it is no wonder that Wang Yining said that he had only recently been contacted.
"Although I stayed on the incense burner mountain for a while, I still couldn't crack the mechanism, so I wasn't sure what was behind the door, and I didn't want to say it so quickly. So I didn't tell them the truth when they contacted me, and then you came, and you should be able to think of the future. ”
"I think the two adults are walking under Yang Jingluo's tent. Just now the adult said that someone wants to see me, could it be that the adult Jinglu can't do it? Yue Xiang saluted the two of them, although Jin Yiwei was not very good in his impression, but after all, these two people saved his life, and they had unique skills, in terms of ability, they still deserved their respect.
"Smart, I like to deal with smart people." The dirt man's expression was relaxed, as if he didn't care about the battle under the mountain, maybe he saw that the army was outnumbered, and felt that there was no reason to lose.
It's so strange that you can think of such a thing. When Xiong Tingbi patrolled Liaodong, he had the mission of secretly recovering Gaohuai's hidden gold. His previous Liaodong patrol was Yang Hao, and he is believed to be one of the insiders. At present, he was ordered to organize a counterattack against Nurhachi, Liaodong had no soldiers and no money, he was worried about running out of rice, and it was inevitable that he would hit Gao Huai to hide gold.
What to do? Can't you just go back with them? Yue Xiang intuitively thought that falling into the hands of Yang Hao was probably not much stronger than falling into the hands of Nurhachi, and in a certain way, Yang Hao might be more dangerous, after all, his need for money was more urgent.
But Yue Xiang still doesn't want to hand over the treasure to him, with the ** of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, such a huge amount of money is handed over, and the ghost knows who will fall into the hands in the end, and half of it can really be used for national defense, thank God. Besides, Yang Ho will definitely not be able to win, this is clearly recorded in history.
It's better to have two groups of people fight together and end up together...... Yue Xiang's mind was spinning, looking for a chance to see if it was possible to slip away, although he knew in his heart that the possibility of dying together was really slim, but it was very likely that Manggutai would defeat this Ming army and then turn back and kill it.
But he still wanted to try his luck.
He was soon disappointed. The two brocade guard masters looked at him as if they were looking at a prisoner, not leaving an inch, although there was no obvious hostility on the surface, Yue Xiang felt that he was locked by the radar. It is impossible to get out of the hands of these two people in his current state, he does not have the upper hand in martial arts, and there is Xiaowan to drag him down.
"We're just waiting here? Why don't you go down and help? Yue Xiang's eyes rolled, looking at the battlefield that had become a mess at the bottom of the slope, where there was smoke everywhere, and the shouts of killing converged into a kind of loud noise, which could be heard clearly above.
"My order is to find you, and fighting is not my job." The black shadow man looked at the mountain with disdain, "It's just a few hundred Jurchen barbarians, what is there to worry about, this time there are almost 2,000 troops, are you still afraid that you can't beat these hundreds of people?" Unless Li Guangrong and Wang Xuan don't want a future. ”
His tone was arrogant, and Yue Xiang began to be unhappy. What about Jinyiwei, and what about high martial arts? When it comes to fighting, maybe the soldier below knows more than you do.
"Really?" Yue Xiang is welcome, where have these Beijing officials from the capital seen a real battlefield fight? How do they know how powerful the Eight Banners Army is? If Yang Ho was surrounded by this kind of person, it would not be strange to lose the battle. His tone caught the attention of the two of them, and looking at Yue Xiang's expression, there was something wrong.
"What? It seems that Yue Jiang always has a high opinion? The two fools crossed their arms, as if they were waiting for Yue Xiang's high theory.
Gao Jian didn't dare to be it, but Yue was also born and raised in Liaodong, and he also had a half-official position in the army. and Jianzhou Jurchen can be regarded as fighting repeatedly, and they have just gained some experience. According to the subordinate officials, although we have a large number of officers and soldiers, we may not be able to stop the rush of these Jurchen thieves, if the two adults do not prepare early, and wait for the people to kill again, it may not be too late to run at that time. ”
Yue Xiang's words also had thorns in them, in fact, he is such a person, if you don't like it, you may greet you with a smile one moment, and turn your face the next moment. This has nothing to do with whether the other party is his savior, and he doubts that if he is an ordinary person, then the two of them will not come to the rescue, I am afraid that they will not take a second look if they die on the side of the road.
"Yue Jiang always said this, but it is a bit to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige. I don't know if this is considered a retreat in military law and shakes the morale of the army? ”
"How can the dignified soldiers of my Great Tomorrow Dynasty be defeated by a mere barbarian? This sounds really fresh, Yue Jiang has fought with the Jurchen barbarians, I don't know how to win or lose? The ill-intentioned smirk and provocative tone made Yue Xiang's impression of them even more unbearable. This kind of arrogant person, you know a bullshit? Do you really think that your identity as a brocade guard is amazing? The four Dongchang officials arrested by Lao Tzu were still in Qinghe City, and Lao Tzu didn't treat them as dishes.
Yue Xiang didn't speak, there was no need to give them an excuse to humiliate himself. But the two didn't stop.
"Hmph, your own soldiers have no ability, but don't think that the 1.8 million soldiers and horses of our Ming Dynasty are all wine bags and rice bags like your Liaodong soldiers. Zhang Chengyin was called a famous general in vain, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were thrown under the city of Fushun, and it was difficult to punish him for his crime. It seems that you really deserve to be his subordinates, and you have not learned anything else, but you have learned a lot from defeating battles and fearing the enemy. ”
"The Liaodong soldiers really need to be rectified, they can't count on the war, and the call for wages is louder than anyone else. The country spends so much money to raise these wine bags and rice bags, is it because there is too much money and nowhere to do it? ”
These two people spoke without saving face at all, and they degraded the officers and soldiers of Liaodong as worthless, and Yue Xiang became angry when he heard it. Although it is very likely that these words will come out of his mouth in a different scene, he just doesn't like to listen to these two fools talking nonsense here. No matter how incompetent the Liaodong Ming Army is, it won't be the turn of the two of you to judge the matter.
After all, the Liao army in history has always been fighting at the forefront of the war against the Jurchens, even if they have suffered all the defeats, at least they have fought hard. The performance of your Beijing army is a hundred times worse than that of the border army, and the previous performance of your capital system proves that you are the rice bucket of the rice bucket.
Zhang Chengyin fought more with less, and the elite of Liaodong was thrown out. But your master Yang Hao will fight more and less in the near future, and throw out all the elites of the entire Ming Dynasty in one go.
If the Liaodong Ming army is incompetent, then you are only more incompetent than them.
"Afraid of the enemy? It's strange that these words came out of the mouths of the two of them. Since the border army is all stupid people who consume the country, why don't they see the three Davids of the Beijing camp go out to resist the enemy? Why didn't you see the 12th Regiment and Battalion go into battle to kill the enemy? Jinyiwei has a master like an adult, it can be seen that it is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, how can you not see Jinyiwei sharing worries for the Son of Heaven and taking the initiative to ask for battle? ”
Yue Xiang tried his best to suppress his tone, so that he did not swear words when scolding.
"Now the imperial court is still mobilizing troops from all over the country to prepare grain and grass, since there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and fierce generals in Beijing, why bother to seek the near and far, and it is not more time-saving and labor-saving to transfer troops directly from the capital? The strange thing is why haven't I seen a single soldier enter Liaodong until now? It's weird. ”
Yue Xiang's tone seemed yin and yang, and he had the intention to fight with these two people. He didn't care about the identities of these two Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei's signboard was nothing great to him at all, even if they showed superb martial arts, his attitude would not change. This is Liaodong, not Beijing, which onion are you two here?
"Hmph, ignorant people, how can the Beijing Forbidden Army defend the Son of Heaven and guard the Beijing Division? If you mobilize the Jingwei at every turn in the war, what's the use of raising you border troops? ”
"Oh, so it turns out that Jingwei didn't raise a guard of honor for war, but for the Son of Heaven. Even though the border army is incompetent, they always dare to go into battle and fight with the thieves with a knife and a gun. The Beijing army has not fought a single war for more than 100 years since the civil engineering change, and has eaten more than 100 years of food and salary in vain, and the country has hundreds of thousands of soldiers who do not fight, so I think there is even more money and nowhere to spend it. ”
"Bold! How dare you, a little boss, be so arrogant?! Tired of you!? Dare to talk to your master like this, how many heads do you have? Do you want to try the old man's methods? ”
The shadow man was the first to attack, but Yue Xiang couldn't tell that there was real annoyance in his tone. Wang Yining next to him also hugged his shoulders to watch the joke, a picture of fearing that the world would not be chaotic. Yue Xiang rolled his eyes: "What if you say it?" I'm born so arrogant, don't save me just now if you're unhappy? Your methods are clever, and the methods of the lower officials are not vegetarian! If you want to try, let the horse come, and Yue will accompany you! ”
