Jinzhou.

"Prepare the horses!"

Yang Xin, who was full of wine and food, walked out of the restaurant with his teeth picked, and the guy next to him hurriedly led the horse to him with a smile on his face, Yang Xin casually threw him a little broken silver, and in the latter's busy thanks, he stepped on the horse stone and got on the horse.

"Drive!"

He hurried his horse forward.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

A rebuke came immediately.

He turned his head in astonishment, and saw dozens of horsemen galloping from the east.

In the middle, a green-robed civil official, watching the chickens and dogs in front of him as if no one was around, was obviously used to this style. On the road, a child carrying a basket of peaches just wanted to hide aside, but because of the muddy water on the ground that had just rained, he slipped and fell, and all the peaches in the basket were spilled on the ground, so he instinctively picked them up. But by this time the leading cavalry had already reached the rear of him, and the cavalry was also startled, and hurriedly reined in his horse in anger, and the horse stopped neighing, but slid forward rapidly because of inertia......

Yang Xin jumped forward like lightning, swept past the frightened child, and reached out to grab the horse's right ear.

He roared and jerked down.

But at this moment, as if echoing his roar, the same roar sounded on the other side, and the same hand appeared on the horse's left ear, as if it had been rehearsed, and with his downward tugging, the other hand was also tugging downward. Yang Xin looked at the young face on the other side in amazement, and the latter was also looking at him in amazement, but their violent movements caused the horse to plunge headlong to the ground, and then the butt turned upside down, and the cavalry on horseback was thrown out in an instant. But fortunately, the horse didn't really turn upside down, but its head was less than half a meter away from the child, the child looked blankly at the horse's head that suddenly appeared in front of him, and the cavalryman who was thrown out above his head flew over with a scream, and Yang Xin and the young man across the horse's head looked at each other......

Yang Xin shook his head and came to his senses.

"Bold, the madman from there dares to hurt the officers and soldiers!"

Angry shouts followed.

The young man also sobered up instantly, and looked at the horse on the ground with some trepidation, this horse was completely ruined, the legs of the horse were broken by their violent movements, and the cavalryman fell not lightly, and was lying in the muddy water of the road screaming.

But it's also thanks to the muddy water.

The ground that had just rained was not as dry as a stone after all, otherwise he would have broken his ribs.

Yang Xin turned his head to look at the angry shouter.

This is the officer of this detachment of cavalry, wearing chain mail, in fact, at this time the cavalry of the Ming army generally liked to wear this, after all, it is impossible to wear cotton armor in summer. During the entire Ming Dynasty, the main opponent of the Ming army outside the Guanwai was actually the Mongols, and the latter was basically light cavalry.

This system worked well against the Mongol cavalry.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the generals of the border towns liked to raid with the elite domestic slave army on light cavalry, and they fought with the Mongols vigorously, such as Li Rusong, which was also the best way to deal with the Mongolian herdsmen. But the problem is that this system is not good for the heavy infantry of the Eight Banners of the heavy armor and heavy arrow shield car, and the arrows shot by the light bow of the Ming army are difficult to penetrate the heavy armor of the Eight Banners infantry, on the contrary, the hard bow and heavy arrows of the latter can easily penetrate the light armor of the transparent army.

Similarly, the Mongolian cavalry actually lost a mess against the Eight Banners.

Their problems were the same as those of the Ming army, they were too light cavalry, and they lost their ability to fight against heavy infantry in formation. If we put aside the factor of Jiannu's acquisition of cannons in the later period, and re-replace the Ming army with heavy infantry like the Song army in the Cold Weapon Era, or the Mongols replace it with heavy cavalry during the Western Expedition, Shangjiannu will not be as passive as it is now.

Of course, it is no longer needed.

It's the age of firearms, and it's easier to go directly to the cannon than anything else.

"This general, you are so powerful!"

Yang Xin sneered.

"Take it, send it to Zhongtun Wei first, and then come back to deal with it when you see Xiong Jingluo!"

The officer shouted angrily.

The civil servant in the back did not speak from beginning to end.

"Meet Xiong Jingluo? I just came from Xiong Jingluo's place, and we had dinner together this morning, do you want me to show the way for this general? said that the general officer Wei Hehe, trampled on the horse, and tied me up, but you tied me up with these letters of Xiong Jingluo, but it can't be sent to the destination! ”

Yang Xin said.

After speaking, he took out the token that Xiong Tingbi gave him.

The officer's face instantly collapsed.

He cautiously looked back at the civil officer......

"Since Xiong Jinglu is a messenger, why do you stay in the city? Don't leave quickly! ”

The civil servant shouted.

"Then you'll have to let me go!"

Yang Xin said.

The civil servant waved his hand impatiently.

The officer hurriedly took the cavalry out of the way, Yang Xin's eyes signaled to the young man, the latter is obviously not stupid, these people can't arrest Yang Xin but it doesn't mean that they won't arrest him, Yang Xin has Xiong Tingbi to protect him, but he doesn't. He hurried to Yang Xin's horse, and as soon as Yang Xin stretched out his hand to hold him, he immediately turned over and got on his horse, and the two of them rode directly past these cavalrymen on the same horse.

"Senator Wang!"

The officer's voice reached Yang Xin's ears.

"Forget it, let's give Xiong Tingbi a face for the time being, a house slave is still like this, this Liaodong Jingluo is not easy to serve!"

The civil servant said.

Yang Xin didn't listen any further, and quickly urged the horse out of the east gate of Jinzhou, until Xiaolinghe Station stopped and let the young man get off the horse, this person was obviously local, and immediately after dismounting, he immediately said hello to a post man, and then turned back to Yang Xin and hugged his fist.

"Thank you, brother, for your help!"

He said with gratitude.

"It's just a small thing, but you're a good skill!"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

This person is not inferior to Cao Wenzhao, although it was mainly his contribution just now, but he can also feel the strength of this person on the other side, and he can make this kind of reaction in a thousand moments, and his skills are also quite agile. And he can be regarded as a good person, Yang Xin dares to play like this because he has no fear, he knows very well that his speed and strength can be guaranteed to do it, but this person dares to do this, it is really righteous and courageous.

"You're not afraid that they will trouble you again in the future?"

Yang Xin asked.

"What are you afraid of, I want to join the army, it's a big deal, they won't trouble my family for this, that's Guangning branch guard Wang Huazhen and his cronies Sun Degong, as long as I don't go to Guangning to join the army, what can they do to me? Besides, this matter is their fault, if they do too much, it will not be good for them to provoke public anger, and the brothers are also locals, and they are not without clans. I haven't asked my brother for his surname, his younger brother Zhou Yuji, and his Zhongtun Wei nationality in Guangning. ”

The young man said.

"Zhou Yuji?"

Yang Xin said in a long voice like when he heard Cao Wenzhao report his identity.

"Ah, my name is Yang Xin, a native of Hejian, who injured the imperial history of patrolling the city in the capital, and was blessed by His Majesty, and was ordered to come to Liaodong with Xiong Jingluo to kill the enemy in white to atone for his crimes, since Brother Zhou wants to join the army, then just follow me. This time, I was ordered by Xiong Jinglu to go to Yehebu to deliver a letter, you follow me, and when I come back, I recommend you to follow Xiong Tingbi as a personal soldier, and we can go into battle together to kill the enemy. In other words, you can be regarded as a warrior, so far you are the second one who makes me feel this way, as long as you follow Xiong Tingbi as a personal soldier, then Wang Huazhen and they will not dare to embarrass you anymore. ”

He went on to say.

It is said that he has already pulled a Cao Wenzhao for Xiong Tingbi as a personal soldier, so simply add a Zhou Yuji, so Xiong Tingbi's account is also very gorgeous. Of course, the main thing is that in the future, when you go out to perform some special tasks, you don't need to go alone, there is Cao Wenzhao on the left and Zhou Yuji on the right, so this configuration is also very gorgeous.

Zhou Yuji looked at him in amazement.

"Why, don't you dare?"

Yang Xin said.

"Brother is not undare, Ye Hebu is outside the north pass of Zhenbei, and he will definitely not be able to pass the road in Shenyang, and now Kaiyuan Tieling is occupied by Jiannu, and the road north has to break into their patrol, and the two of us will definitely not be able to pass. We need to go north from Quang Ninh to the border wall and go around the Mongol pastoral area, there is no danger on the way, it is a vast and sparsely populated grassland, as long as there are enough horses to bring enough dry food, let the horses run. Even if you encounter the Mongols, you can easily avoid them, in fact, as long as you are careful, you will not meet them, and there are not many Mongols in the hundreds of miles of grassland. Brother is just a little surprised by what Brother Yang said, Brother Yang actually dared to fight the imperial history, and he was ordered by His Majesty, these are simply amazing. ”

Zhou Yuji said honestly.

"This can be said on the road, I still have a lot of surprises for you, what is it to play a royal history! Is there anything else you need to prepare? By the way, I still have a silver ticket here, you can take it to your family first! ”

Yang Xin said.

After speaking, he handed over a silver ticket of fifty taels.

Zhou Yuji is about twenty, and I don't know if his wife, who is very martial, is married.

"What does Brother Yang mean by this, how can Zhou Yuji be a greedy person?"

Zhou Yuji said awe-inspiringly.

"This is the settling-in fee, which Xiong Tingbi gave you, but I will pay for Xiong Tingbi first, and I will find him to give it to me when I go back, no matter what the result of our going out, this wife and children must settle down first! As for Xiong Tingbi, don't worry, he will definitely accept the person I recommend, although I am white, he still needs me for a lot of things, and he can't ask for anything like you!

You send the silver ticket back first, and I'll wait for you here.

After you come back, we will go north together, but this way time is urgent, we have to keep changing horses and galloping, I have Xiong Tingbi's warrant here, and you can requisition the military horses of the post stations in various places at any time. But you have to be able to sustain at least three hundred miles a day, and if you feel that you can't do it, then speak up, don't delay my business. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, as long as Brother Yang can hold on, Brother will never lag behind!"

Zhou Yuji said with a confident smile.

This is a bit exaggerated, Yang Xin decided to take him to run four hundred miles a day after leaving the customs.
