Chapter 50: Persuasion

、、、、、、、

When the officers and troops of He Renlong's department appeared on the other side, Xiao Tianjian and several generals under his command were also slightly shocked, they had not fought with the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers had left a very bad impression on them a few times before, so when they came over this time, everyone was a little underestimated, thinking that even if the officers and troops of He Renlong's department were stronger than Feng Xiangwei's officers and troops, they were not estimated to be much stronger.

But when He Renlong led his troops to the other side of the river, they had to put away the idea of underestimating the enemy and began to re-examine the official army in front of them.

The reason why He Renlong can be so famous in Shaanxi is definitely not made up, when Xiao Tianjian saw He Renlong's department appear, his heart tightened slightly.

Because this officer army is very different from the officers and soldiers of Feng Xiangwei they encountered before, this officer army under the command of He Renlong has a very good quality of equipment, from the officers and soldiers who appeared in the array, more than half of them are wearing armor, and the whole army is wearing the kind of wide-brimmed iron helmet unique to the Ming army, even the worst ones are wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets.

Bands of pikemen, sword-bearers, archers, musketeers, and jumping cavalry appeared in their field of vision, and there was no such chaotic scene as they had seen the guards before, and banners of various colors stood in the middle of the ranks of the officers and soldiers, and the generals quickly completed the formation with the movement of these banners.

With the soldiers in front and the auxiliaries behind, it took less than a quarter of an hour for the officers and soldiers to complete the formation, and in the middle of the central army, a large flag was erected high, with a large congratulatory word on it.

All the officers and soldiers who appeared on the other side of the river were shy and folded their bellies, and after the formation, they immediately exuded an awe-inspiring murderous aura, which is also something that only a battle-hardened soldier and general can have.

Immediately afterwards, large carts were also sent to the front of the formation, lined up in front of the officers and soldiers, and then one artillery gun also aimed at the west bank of the river.

The 300 soldiers standing at the front felt the sense of coercion of the officers and soldiers on the other side, and they were already a little nervous, and then they saw the officers and soldiers on the other side of the bank put out another cannon, and they immediately stirred slightly.

"Steady! Don't move! Violators are waiting for the batons! The officers who were among the baggage immediately shouted loudly, and they all suppressed their subordinates to prevent these soldiers from being confused.

Although it is a soldier, when he goes into battle, he still has to obey military discipline, there will be no ambiguity, there is a military regulation, and he looks back at the battle, and is punished with twenty military sticks; Those who make loud noises for no reason will be beheaded, and those who run around in battle will be regarded as deserters......

And it was not a case before that no one was beheaded for violating military regulations, and when there was a slight commotion among the soldiers, they were immediately forcibly suppressed by the guards of the Xingtian Army.

On the one hand, the role of the protector of the Xingtian Army is to be managed by the iron head, and part of it is assigned to each officer as a personal soldier to protect the safety of the officers, on the other hand, it is also to monitor the officers, and then it is to act as a military police in the army, and the right to supervise the army can be exercised in the battle, and the soldiers and even officers who do not respect military discipline will be punished, so the guards are sometimes even more powerful than the officers, but the Xingtian Army also has requirements, the guards can supervise the officers, but they must not interfere with the command of the officers, and the protective army will be replaced by the soldiers. interfered with the normal command of the officers, to a certain extent, but it still had the meaning of a political commissar, which was also an important means for Xiao Tianjian to control the Xingtian Army.

Looking at the artillery launched by the He Renlong Department on the other side, Xiao Tianjian and his subordinates immediately looked over, although the He Renlong Department was not the best equipped army in the Ming army, but after all, Shaanxi has been fighting with the Mutant Army for so many years, so the quality of weapons and equipment is still better than that of the officers and troops in other places.

After they launched the artillery, it can be proved that the three thousand officers and troops launched nearly ten medium-sized Furlong cannons in one go, and there are also four relatively large iron cannons, not counting the tiger squat cannon and bowl mouth cannon they brought out and a large number of swarm rockets, if they are all added together, the firepower will definitely exceed the artillery team of the Xingtian Army several times.

Just this one made everyone nervous.

“***! If it's really He Renlong's soldiers and horses, there are so many cannons! Looks like we have to fight today! Zhao Erdonkey couldn't help muttering behind Xiao Tianjian's back.

"I said Zhao Erdonkey, you are just cowardly, as soon as you see that there are more official and military artillery, you want to pee your pants again! Hum! Feng Gouzi always seemed to be at odds with Zhao Erdonkey, and as soon as he heard Zhao Erdonkey muttering, he immediately grabbed his pigtails and teased him.

"Feng Gouzi, you fucking don't charge a big egg in front of Lao Tzu, when did Lao Tzu go into battle worse than you? You've only killed a few people! If you have the ability, after we go back this time, you have played tricks with Lao Tzu, see who has no eggs in the crotch of the fuck! As soon as Zhao Erdonkey heard Feng Gouzi's words, he immediately scolded and returned it.

Xiao Tianjian snorted coldly, although he didn't scold them, Feng Gouzi and Zhao Erdonkey immediately closed their mouths.

At this time, among the officers and troops on the other bank, a group of soldiers had already begun to march out, and an offensive formation began to be laid out on the east bank of the river, and it seemed that the officers and troops were ready to storm over.

"Let the soldiers behind take a few steps back, go down the slope and prepare for the formation, don't let the officers and soldiers see anything first!" Xiao Tianjian had a relaxed look on his face, and indifferently instructed the generals behind him.

As the order was conveyed, the generals of the soldiers who were lined up behind the baggage team immediately retreated a few steps back neatly, and retreated to the bottom of the slope to regroup, and under the orders of the officers, the archers hung their bowstrings on their bowstrings, and tried their bowstrings, and the musketeers, all of whom received the order, began to lay down the birds' guns, and loaded the ammunition into the barrels, and after the officers gave another order, they lit the arquebuses on the birds' guns.

Xiao Tianjian and Zhu will continue to stop and watch the situation of the officers and soldiers on the other side, only to see that the officers and soldiers were out of the array, ready to attack, a soldier holding a small flag strode out of the team, turned over and jumped on the war horse, as soon as the war horse was urged, it rushed towards the stone bridge, and soon rode across the stone bridge, came to the west bank of the Wanzi River, and restrained the reins of the horse at a distance of thirty steps away from the array of the Xingtian Army.

This officer and soldier can be regarded as an envoy sent by He Renlong, with a stocky figure, wearing an iron armor, an iron bone hanging on one side of the saddle, and an iron shield with a diameter of not too big on the other side, it should also be regarded as a fierce person, exuding an arrogant arrogance from top to bottom, after strangling the war horse, he glanced contemptuously at the array of the Xingtian Army, and then shouted loudly: "I am the envoy sent by General He, who among you is the leader of the thief army, come out and answer quickly!" ”

The generals on the side of the Xingtian Army were all staring at this guy rushing across the stone bridge, Luo Li reached out and took off his hard bow from his horse, and put one hand next to the quiver, intending to draw an arrow from the quiver.

Xiao Tianjian said coldly: "Don't act rashly! The two armies will not be killed! Don't be reckless! ”

Luo Li immediately let go of the arrow feather that had been drawn halfway and lowered his bow, and the rest of the archers and firecrackers also relaxed their arms and did not make any movement.

Xiao Tianjian shook the reins of the horse, walked out of the team, and slowly rode his horse to the envoy sent by He Renlong, pointed at him with a horse whip in his hand and said loudly: "This is my decision, there is something to say, there is a fart, after speaking, hurry up and go back for me!" ”

The little flag officer who was sent to persuade him to surrender paused, as soon as Xiao Tianjian appeared, he had a strong sense of depression, this thief who came out to answer was not only tall, but even the war horse he sat on was also very tall, plus Xiao Tianjian's bodyly scale armor, which made his figure more powerful and strong, and his deliberately cultivated and neatly trimmed beard made his facial lines more rough and tough, and as soon as he came out, he suppressed his momentum, making this little flag officer suddenly lose three points.

After looking at Xiao Tianjian, even he had to admit that Xiao Tianjian's appearance was really speechless, whoever was in front of him would spontaneously have some inferiority complex, and Xiao Tianjian had controlled the army for a long time, and he had already accumulated a kind of prestige that only those who had superiors.

The little flag officer held the small flag in his hand, hugged his fist at Xiao Tianjian and said, "Do you dare to ask this general's honorable name?" ”

Xiao Tianjian didn't bother to return the courtesy, and after snorting coldly, he said to him: "If the husband doesn't change his name, he won't change his surname, my surname is Xiao, and my name is Tianjian!" Something to say! Hugh is going to be more verbose! ”

The little flag officer looked at Xiao Tianjian's arrogant appearance, and was also a little angry, he was not afraid that Xiao Tianjian would kill him now, so he hugged his fists and said to Xiao Tianjian: "I am specially ordered by our General He to come to see General Xiao, our General He said, I think that you have just taken refuge in Gao Chuang thief, and there are not many evils, give you a chance, quickly dismount and surrender, our general can say a few words to the court, so as not to wait for you to die!" If you're lucky, you'll be awarded an official position by the imperial court, and you can become an official in the future! I wonder what General Xiao thinks? ”

Xiao Tianjian sneered, frowned, and asked, "You just came to talk some nonsense?" If that's it, you can go back! Go back and tell He Renlong that I, Xiao someone, is not interested in working for the imperial court, so let him save his energy! ”

After hearing this, the little flag officer forcibly suppressed his anger, and then persuaded Xiao Tianjian: "Since General Xiao is unwilling to surrender to the imperial court, then don't do it!" Presumably General Xiao is also a clear-eyed person, you can also look behind me, our General He's soldiers are generals, how can you stop it, God has the virtue of a good life, and our general doesn't want to kill more, so I advise General Xiao below, you'd better not use that Li thief as a gun, or disperse early, our general can ignore your offense, otherwise, once you are obsessed, our general will lead the army to kill the general, and you will be crushed into pulp! The reason why this little flag officer was sent out to persuade him to surrender was that his mouth was still a little level, and he turned around triumphantly and pointed to the soldiers of He Renlong on the east bank, threatening Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian sneered even more, and said impatiently: "There's a lot of nonsense, you can go back now!" Tell He Renlong that Xiao is not a person who is afraid of death, nor is he a gunman for anyone, if he has the ability, let him let the horse come over and send you over to talk nonsense, will it scare Xiao? Get lost! For the sake of not cutting in front of the two armies, I will spare you a small life! If you are long-winded, you will be sorry for Xiao! Get lost! ”

When the little flag officer heard this, his face changed, and he said angrily: "Okay! Toast without eating and drinking, then we'll see you later! With that, he immediately turned his horse and galloped back to the east bank.
