The panting scout didn't care about the horsepower, ran all the way back, and arched his hand towards Zhang Zhiji: "Master Qiqi, the rebels are already five miles away. ”

Zhang Zhiji's spirit had recovered a little at this time. After all, he was still young, and even though it was a forced march in the middle of the night, he still did not collapse.

Hearing the scout's return, Zhang Zhiji cheered up and ordered: "Fucking cheer up, get ready for Lao Tzu, let these bastards know what it means to line up and shoot!" ”

Zhang Ziming, the deputy general and the son of the family, said with a smile: "I said Master Hou, don't always follow Your Majesty to listen to some new terms and show off in front of your brothers, we are all rough people, and we can't understand it." ”

Zhang Zhiji's face turned dark, and after kicking Zhang Ziming, he said: "Don't fuck nonsense, hurry up, a good student will teach them to be a man today!" ”

Zhang Ziming was kicked in the ass, but he didn't care at all, he didn't even pay attention to the laughter of the soldiers on the left and right, and just sorted out the team according to Zhang Zhiji's order and prepared to meet the enemy.

The veterans of the 10,000 Beijing battalion are actually very relaxed.

If it weren't for the fact that they were a little tired from a night of forced marching, these veterans didn't even feel the need to line up, and they could directly finish out all the rebels on the opposite side with a single charge - no matter how strong the rebels who threw their hoes and picked up their knives and guns, could they still be stronger than Lin Dan Khan? That's the biggest fucking joke in the Chongzhen Dynasty!

Of course, as the so-called lion fights with all his might, although these veterans are a little arrogant, they always feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and the feeling that no one can make except the emperor is full of everyone's chest, but there should still be preparations.

How far is the distance of five miles? In fact, if you stand taller, you can see the head of the person on the opposite side from a distance.

Just looking at the rebels who began to emerge on the other side, Li Xin, who had been following Zhang Zhiji, said gloomily: "It's still these people who are suffering." ”

Zhang Zhiji felt speechless.

Although Li Xin's words are a bit fucked, I have to admit that these people were still a group of people waiting to be fed half a month ago, and they only knew how to dig and eat in the soil.

According to the emperor, these people are the fathers and villagers who want to protect the Ming officials and soldiers.

But for what? It's just that in just a few days, the originally docile people have now become man-eating wolves, attacking fellow villagers who also can't eat enough, what is the purpose?

Zhang Zhiji actually knew in his heart that he couldn't live anymore.

When a person can't live, what can't be done in order to survive?

So what is it that keeps these ordinary people from living?

The answer is also simple.

Zhang Zhiji is not a fool, although he has always told himself that as a noble of the Ming Dynasty, he is loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, even if he is not willing to stain the battlefield with some blood.

But after all, I heard it from His Majesty's mouth, it was greed.

Corrupt officials, as well as those greedy businessmen, are all moths lying on Da Ming's body to suck blood, and it is these people who have forced these people to have no way to live, and can only rise up in the end - even if the emperor has given great relief, there can still be people starving to death, which is the best proof.

Cheering himself up, Zhang Zhiji glanced at Li Xin, and said lightly: "Fortunately, your kid didn't say anything interesting, the people are bitter and other." This marquis is here to tell you that killing an official is a rebellion, you know this. So the people on the other side can no longer be regarded as civilians, but only rebels. ”

Li Xinqiang said: "Dare to ask Master Hou, the so-called rebels, are the people changed?" How did the people become rebels? ”

When Zhang Zhiji heard this, his already depressed heart became even more annoyed, and he spat hatefully and said: "You go and ask the dead Baishui County county magistrate and several other county magistrates about this, but you can't ask Ben Hou's head." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Xin meaningfully: "If you can one day become an official in the court, Benhou hopes that you can remember what you asked today, how the people became rebels." ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhiji continued: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, Ben Hou is a noble, a Xuanli military minister, not those bullshit civil ministers, fighting is Ben Hou's business, as for the rest, it has nothing to do with Ben Hou, don't ask, Ben Hou is too lazy to think about it." ”

Li Xin, who was choked back by Zhang Zhiji's words, became speechless.

Zhang Zhiji is right, he really thinks too much, and these are not what he should think about now.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Xincai continued: "I don't know how Master Hou plans to fight the rebels on the other side? ”

Zhang Zhiji sneered: "How to fight? A group of rebels who have just picked up swords and guns still need to talk about what kind of military formation? What kind of stratagem do you talk about? The 10,000 cavalry behind Ben Hou will tell them what war is, and make them shudder when they think about it! ”

Li Xin was speechless. Think about it, a group of rebels who have just put down their hoes will not be able to beat this 10,000 cavalry veterans.

Just as Zhang Zhiji and Li Xin were talking, Wang Er's team also saw Zhang Zhiji's team from a distance.

Even if Wang Lao Liu, that is, Wang Mingyu, no matter how much he has read some books, no matter how much he is considered to be a soldier among these rebels, it is still difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice - from Baishui to Pucheng, a total of more than a dozen horses have been scavenged, and it is not enough to use these heads and brains as horses, where can they go to engage in scouts like guards and soldiers?

Of course, it can't be said that there are no scouts.

Even if Wang Lao Liu is stupid, he has read in the book that the army is going to send scouts to reconnoitre.

It's just that this scout is really not very professional: "Report to the king, report to the generals, there is a court army in front to block the way of our army." ”

When Wang Mingyu heard this, he shook the folding fan in his hand and asked, "How many people are in front?" ”

The scout crossed his fingers and counted for a long time, but he couldn't figure out much, so he had to arch his hand and say: "General, it is estimated that there must be tens of thousands of horses, and it looks boundless, and there are many of them." ”

Wang Mingyu's face was suffocated, and he wanted to scold but couldn't speak.

His mother! Lao Tzu also knows that there are a lot of people and horses in the boundless, but how many are there? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Or 100,200,000?

Wang Mingyu felt this sense of powerlessness for the first time. Damn, amateur just can't do it, it's unreliable.

It's just that this is the case, and no matter how much you think of a way to remedy it, it is too late, Wang Mingyu had to urge the horse forward by himself, planning to go and see how many people there are in front of the imperial army.

In fact, Wang Mingyu was also very confident at this time. After all, these rebels followed themselves and others from a small village outside Baishui County, and then conquered Baishui County, and then to Pucheng, how can they be regarded as a division of a hundred battles?

As for the opposite, I think which guard soldier can stop it without his own strength, and he waves the army up, and the guard guard on the opposite side immediately collapses?

It was only when Wang Mingyu saw Zhang Zhiji's team that he gasped and secretly said that it was going to be bad today.

All the guards were dressed up, wearing battle jackets, holding firearms, and steel knives hanging from their waists, no matter how they looked at it, they didn't look like the noodles they met in Baishui and Pucheng.

What made Wang Mingyu even more frightened was the silence of the army opposite.

Not only were the people silent, but even none of the war horses behind them neighed, as if they were all iron men cast from molten iron, standing solemnly and expressionlessly.

It was this silence that made Wang Mingyu feel more and more unconfident in his heart, and for the first time he began to reflect on whether it was right for him to rebel and rebel.

It was not only Wang Mingyu who was reflecting, but Wang Er had also come to Wang Mingyu's side at this time.

Wang Er, who was also overwhelmed by the silent coercion of Zhang Zhiji's army, straightened his collar and asked Wang Mingyu: "How is it, can the sixth child see anything?" ”

Wang Mingyu smiled bitterly and said to Wang Er: "I can't see it." These people are not like the guards we have encountered before, they are much more elite than them. ”

Wang Er thought to himself, isn't this fucking nonsense, Lao Tzu can also see that the opposite side is elite, not like those noodle melons. But is that what Lao Tzu meant?

It's just that Wang Er also has no confidence in his heart at this time, and what he needs is someone who can help him cheer up, so he asked patiently: "Can you beat it?" ”

Wang Mingyu snorted, watched carefully for a long time, and then said, "I guess I can't beat it." After a while, the fight started, my brother should be more careful, our brothers all have horses, even if they run, they can run faster. As long as we get close to Chengcheng, let's drill into the mountains and change our clothes, and there will be a comeback in the future. ”

Wang Er also hummed, but he was thinking about other things in his heart, so he said to Wang Mingyu: "Sixth, you have the final say on these things in the battle array, and my brother also listens to your command, you let my brother rush, my brother will rush, our brothers work together, and their profits will be broken." ”

After returning to the main formation, Wang Er asked Wang Mingyu to arrange the striker, ready to rush into the formation first, and see if he could beat it.

It's just that before waiting for the forward army arranged by Wang Mingyu to dispatch, the imperial army on the opposite side ran over first.

Wang Mingyu looked at the knight who ran over, but he was shocked.

The dress of the person who came, Wang Mingyu knew, or there was no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who did not know the iconic flying fish suit - the brocade clothes Weiti riding that can stop children's night hooves!

When the visitor ran to a place about a stone's throw away from Wang Er's army, he suddenly reined in the reins of his horse.

Under the pain, the war horse couldn't help but stand up, and the two front hooves kicked in the air a few times before falling heavily to the ground.

The person who came was the general banner of Jinyi Wei, who had been following Zhang Zhiji.

A pair of eyes without the slightest emotion swept over Wang Er's team from left to right, and the people in Wang Er's army were frightened.

When Wang Er and the others were a little impatient, the general banner of the brocade guard spoke: "Who is the leader on the other side?" Come out and answer! ”

Wang Er didn't want to think about it, so he urged the war horse on his crotch, slowly walked out of the formation, and came to stand not far from the Jinyi Wei General Banner.

When the Jinyi Wei Zongqi saw Wang Er, he smiled and said, "You are Wang Er?" ”

Wang Er snorted coldly and said, "Yes, it's Lao Tzu." ”

Hearing Wang Er call himself Lao Tzu, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Jinyi Wei Zongqi, but he continued to smile and said, "Listen up." Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had an order, and ordered Er and others to put down their swords and guns and surrender. Except for the first offender and leaders at all levels, the rest of the people were pardoned for the crime of rebellion, and instead assigned to serve under His Royal Highness the King of Tang, and went overseas to open the country, and were not allowed to set foot in the land of the Ming Dynasty for the rest of their lives. ”

Wang Er heard Jinyi Wei Zongqi's words, but it was almost the same as he originally thought, but this first criminal and the leaders at all levels? Doesn't that mean that Lao Tzu is not among the pardons?

That's not right, that's not what I discussed with the sixth child, didn't I say that I would take the army to recruit An, and then go overseas?

There's nothing wrong with that, right? It's worth it to save your own life, and to be able to survive with so many folks behind you?

Wang Er was thinking to himself in his heart, so he turned around and looked at the people behind him.

Wang Mingyu had a sudden shock in his heart, hurriedly beat his horse and came to Wang Er's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother looked back at the eyes of those people. ”

Wang Er was puzzled, but he also turned his head and looked carefully at the people behind him.

This hope doesn't matter, but it makes Wang Er's heart cold for most of the time.

The people behind him, except for the leaders at all levels and their own brothers, almost none of them are holding their swords and guns tightly, but they are all looking forward to it? Eagerly awaited? Or is it the agitation of the eyes?

Wang Er himself has not read any books, and he doesn't know how to describe the eyes of these people, but Wang Er thinks that he is not a fool, and in the eyes of these people, it is clear that they are waiting for him to give the order to surrender!

Damn, it's easy for Lao Tzu to order surrender, but that's tantamount to sending Lao Tzu to die by himself!

Wang Er didn't want to do anything at this time, but Wang Er, who was a little disheartened, suddenly had a rebellious mentality at this time - why should he let Lao Tzu sacrifice himself for others? Have you forgotten that when you were starving to death, who led you to raise the flag to kill the officials and release the food, so that you could survive?

Now they are thinking about themselves one by one, but who has thought about Lao Tzu?

The more he thought about it, the more angry Wang Er became, and asked Wang Mingyu in a low voice: "Sixth, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Mingyu also said in a low voice: "Brother definitely doesn't want to die here like this?" ”

Wang Er suddenly said a little frustratedly: "What can you do if you don't want to?" If you look at these people, which one else has the fighting spirit? I'm afraid that as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, these people will take your brother's head and ask for a reward? ”

Wang Mingyu glanced at his eyes and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, big brother, go back to the main formation first, and then look at my younger brother." ”

After speaking, he and Wang Er urged the war horse to return to the formation.

After waiting for this formation, Wang Mingyu was as bright as Zhuge Zhiliang, and gently shook the folding fan in his hand and said: "When did the cannibal factory guard be so kind?" When we were about to starve to death, why didn't you see Your Majesty come to rescue us?

Now that we have rebelled, all of them are the sins of the Nine Clans, will Your Majesty be so kind to let us go?

I'm afraid that if I put down my knives and guns, I will wait for the fish and meat on the board, and let the court slaughter it? When the time comes, they will punish us and the other nine clans, what will we use to resist? ”
