Chapter 492: Mongolia Rushes Straight to Xiyang City
At such a difficult time, Wang Laohu won the battle, although he did not get any decent reward, but people are doing it, and some people can still see it.
Wang Laohu returned to his room, and Yang Buqun and the others came up and said, "Son, we just won such a battle, and the emperor must have given us a lot of rewards." ”
The mountain seal also said: "This also needs to be said, the army of the court has suffered defeats one after another, and as soon as our son comes out, he will fight a beautiful battle, and the emperor's reward will be a lot." ”
Lei Yinghong said: "Son, tell us quickly, what reward did the emperor give us?" ”
"Are we fighting this battle for the emperor?" Wang Laohu said, "This time the Mongolian army invaded my Ming Dynasty, and all my Ming people have the right to contribute to their family and country." ”
Hearing Wang Laohu say this, everyone understood that the emperor did not reward everyone with decent things this time.
"However, the emperor gave us these Mongolian horses." Wang Laohu said.
"We risked our lives to steal these Mongolian horses, and they were originally ours." Yang Buqun said.
"Yes, son, this emperor is too picky, so he only rewarded us." Lei Yinghong was also dissatisfied.
"This is not as good as the days when I was a bandit, what I robbed, what I had, don't suffer from this wretch." Shanhai Peng Road.
"Everyone, don't be bored, let's listen to Childe." Feng Shengdao.
"These Mongolian horses are really treasures, Mongolian horses are excellent military horses, and we have obtained these horses, which are much more practical and useful than other rewards." Wang Laohu said, "Now when the Mongol army is attacking on a large scale, we urgently need cavalry, and the Mongolian horses brought back last night can be handed over to our cavalry, and we can show our skills on the battlefield." ”
"Childe, why aren't you angry at all." Lei Yinghong asked.
"What are you angry about, you can't buy this BMW with any amount of money." Wang Laohu said, "Now everyone is familiar with Mongolian horses, brothers, let's also get acquainted with each other." ”
Wang Laohu and the others went out of the room and came to the barracks, the people of the Tiger Dart Bureau were familiar with the Mongolian horses, although these horses had been trained, but when they met strangers, they would have a temperament, and they must be completely trained.
"Childe, look." Pan Tai said, "Among these horses, this horse is the most athletic, with muscular limbs, and it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles in a day." ”
"It looks like a good horse." Wang Laohu said with a smile.
"Other generals, I have also selected horses for you, please come along." Pan Tai said to Yang Buqun and the others.
Wang Laohu looked at the brown Mongolian horse, with thick and strong limbs and bright fur, "It's really a good horse." He took the stiff rope and jumped on the horse's back, as the saying goes, a good horse is hard to tame, especially a rare good horse, Wang Laohu just jumped on the horse's back, the horse seemed to be frightened, and suddenly turned upside down.
Wang Laohu was on the horse's back, holding on to the stiff rope tightly, and his legs were clamped tightly, for fear of being thrown off by the frightened horse, and the others on the side looked at him, but they couldn't help much.
Pan Tai laughed: "Is this a horse running in with its new owner?" If Childe can subdue it, Childe will be its new owner. ”
The horse galloped all the way, the four hooves ran wildly, stepping on the ground and raising rolling dust, Wang Laohu was on the horseback, and the placket of his clothes rose with the wind, looking heroic.
The horse went farther away.
This frightened or crazy horse not only ran, but also deliberately bumped, it wanted to throw Wang Laohu off the horse.
The force of this huge bump immediately churned up and down, and Wang Laohu also swayed up and down from time to time, and his chest seemed to be churning like a huge wave, pushing out his internal organs.
Who can withstand such a strong shock, Wang Laohu withstood the force of more than ten times of the horse's up and down bumps on the horse's back, and finally under this bump, the person's body slipped off the horse's back to the right side.
The horse is still galloping, and it doesn't care if you're on horseback or under the horse's hooves.
Wang Laohu held on to the horse rope tightly, but his body was already dragging on the ground, and he was dragged by the horse at a high speed, and he did not dare to be careless, for fear that as soon as he let go of the rope, he would be led away by the fast horse, or he would be thrown on the ground and trampled by the horse's hooves. He could only grasp the horse's rope and hold on tightly.
But the speed of the horse was really fast, Wang Laohu used light skills, only to keep up with the horse's steps, he used a little force, his body flew up, and once again on the horse's back.
The horse had already felt that someone was on his back again, and it ran lifelessly, and from time to time it shook sharply, and the horse's hind hooves kicked violently, and then it leaned forward and backward, and this series of tilts wanted to throw Wang Laohu off the horse.
This time Wang Laohu learned to be a little obedient, he squatted slightly, closely followed the horse, and his legs were clamped tighter, like a bull locust, staring at a certain part of the body.
Its ability to throw people has been exhausted, and it has nothing to do with the people on horseback who are close to each other. He had to run again, and Wang Laohu held the stiff rope in his hand, straightened up, and slowly clamped the horse's body with his legs.
Wang Laohu got a good horse. He simply ran along the large school yard for a while, and when he was tired, he returned to his room.
There were already people waiting in the room.
"Childe, just now the emperor sent someone to let you hurry up." Feng Shengdao.
The emperor sent someone so soon, what is the matter?
Wang Laohu hurried to the emperor's place.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Laohu felt that the atmosphere was wrong. The room was full of frowns, what was going on? Everyone has such an expression.
"Wang Laohu, let me tell you the information I just got, the vanguard of the Mongolian army has arrived five miles outside Xiyang City." General Yu said.
So fast, Wang Laohu's heart also appeared bad, the Mongolian army was still fifty miles away last night, and suddenly it was five miles away from Xiyang City, such a marching speed is really jaw-dropping. "Your Majesty, Xiyang City is the front base of Vazhou, and we must defend it." Wang Laohu said worriedly.
If Xiyang City is breached, Vazhou will be directly exposed to the Mongol army, which is very unfavorable to the emperor's safety.
"I'm worried about this, too?" The emperor said.
"The previous army of Mongolia was less than 30,000, and our defenders in Xiyang City had 20,000, and there were high city walls, and General Ma had already brought people over, so don't worry, the emperor." General Yu said.
"Wouldn't I be worried? We have lost four states one after another, if the Mongol army breaks through Xiyang City again, Vazhou will not be protected, Vazhou is the place where I personally sat in battle, and even the place I personally guarded was lost, what face do I have! The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became.
"Your Majesty, this Xiyang City is solid for gold, and the Mongolian soldiers will not be able to move forward under the resistance of our Ming army." General Zhong said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you can supervise the battle here with peace of mind, there are General Ma in Xiyang City, and there will be no mistakes." Yu Lingde continued to be relieved.
"But why do I feel that this mind is always uneasy?" The emperor said: "Wang Laohu, what do you think?" ”
The emperor suddenly wanted to ask Wang Laohu what he thought, wanted to listen to his opinion, and listened to the other generals' meaning, these generals obviously stood in the position of the Ming Dynasty, reporting good news and not bad news, but Wang Laohu can be true, this is one of the reasons why the emperor likes Wang Laohu.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to tell the truth?" Wang Laohu asked.
Of course, the emperor wanted to hear Wang Laohu's true thoughts, but he didn't respond, just glanced at Wang Laohu.
"Your Majesty, the Mongolian army is marching towards Xiyang City, and now it is his vanguard that is coming, and his follow-up troops will arrive soon, so in my opinion, we must guard Xiyang City with heavy troops." Wang Laohu said.
"Prince Wang, if we guard Xiyang City with heavy troops, and the state is empty, if the Mongolian soldiers come to attack, what will happen to the emperor's safety?" Yu Lingde said.
This is also something to worry about, if the Mongol soldiers take a detour to avoid Xiyang City, Vazhou will directly face these Mongol soldiers, so the guards of Vazhou cannot be empty.
Sometimes the emperor drives the expedition in person, and there are disadvantages, as a local official, he has to protect the emperor's safety, and he can't really free himself to fight.
