Chapter 709: Justice Will Prevail (Ask for Subscription!) )
Looking at everyone's flushed faces, Zhang Twelve pressed down with his hands, and then continued: "But Zhang also asks you to rest assured that this time you will only succeed and will not fail!" Do you know why? ”
“………………”
Zhang Twelve's words were confident and domineering, and the people and officers and soldiers were undoubtedly enthusiastic when they heard it, but they still didn't know why Zhang Twelve could be so confident.
In fact, they believe in Zhang Twelve, there are many people who worship blindly, they don't really know too much about Zhang Twelve, most people are just the same people, they don't know much about Zhang Twelve's superiority.
Therefore, although some people especially support Zhang Twelve's approach of going north, they are still a little worried in their hearts, this way to the north, let alone Jingzhou, even a few cities along the way are enough for Zhang Twelve's eyes - he only brought a team of 1,000 people, and looking at the mount under his crotch, it is undoubtedly more like a ragtag army, is such an army really combative?
Moreover, there are more than 10,000 officers and soldiers defending the city in each city, even if Zhang Twelve and they don't need to attack the city, they just directly engage each other in short combat, and everyone must have the combat effectiveness of one enemy and ten!
So when they heard Zhang Twelve ask, their heads were raised, and they especially wanted to hear why Zhang Twelve was so confident!
Zhang Twelve looked at everyone's hopeful eyes, and then smiled and said slowly: "Because, justice will win!" And I, we, am justice! ”
"Justice Prevails !!"
After Zhang Twelve finished speaking, everyone was stunned for about a few seconds, I don't know who reacted first and took the lead, and then shouted out, and the others were not to be outdone, and immediately shouted!
"Justice will prevail!"
This sentence made their blood boil suddenly, they are justice, how can there be no reason to win?
………………
The atmosphere was almost rendered, and Zhang Twelve knew that it was time to leave.
Looking back at Lu San, Lu San understood, and walked over with a horse.
The overall coat color of this horse is yellow, and the whole body is thin, but the muscles are clearly visible, and you can tell that it is a good horse at a glance!
This horse is called the Yellow Horse, it is indeed not an idle person, although this horse is thin but full of strength, and the foot strength is particularly good, especially suitable for marching and fighting, it is claimed to be able to travel hundreds of miles a day!
There is no such a good horse in Jinling City, this horse was when Mo Li went south from Jingzhou, Mo Guogong was worried that his daughter would have to trek through mountains and rivers, so he picked such a good horse for Mo Li to ride.
And Mo Li was able to go all the way south, and finally arrived at Yunxi in Yueguo, and found Zhang Twelve, this yellow hused horse has indeed made a lot of contributions!
And on the yellow horse, Lu San had already prepared, the saddle was draped, the stirrups were also hung up, and the luan bell was brought on the horse, and everything was ready.
Zhang Twelve talked for a while next to Zhang Guogong and the old lady, and then said goodbye to the six women.
After doing this, he turned over and stepped on the stirrup, and then shouted: "Let's go!" ”
"Departure !!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Twelve's yellow horse bore the brunt and ran out directly, while the other officers and soldiers also rode their mounts and followed Zhang Twelve in the direction of the city gate.
Seeing her grandson ride away, the old lady couldn't help crying.
Seeing this, the other women added a lot of sadness, tears in their eyes, biting their lips, and they couldn't say anything, but they all stepped forward to persuade the old lady.
Amorous parting since ancient times, that's probably it!
………………
Let's talk about Zhang 12 with a thousand officers and soldiers on horseback, donkeys and mules all the way to the north gate of Jinling.
Zhang Twelve and they walked in the head, while the people of Jinling City followed closely behind, and there were also many waiting people on the streets along the way.
In this way, Zhang Twelve's 1,000 cavalry regiment did not follow the large number of these ordinary people, and the streets that were not very spacious were jammed, and they were about to be congested!
Fortunately, today's traders in Jinling City also know that Zhang Twelve spontaneously ran here to see off the people of Jinling City for the people of Jinling City, and no one came out of the stalls on the street, otherwise, these stalls are already on the narrow streets, I am afraid that they will be trampled on!
It didn't take long for Zhang Twelve to lead the team to the open land outside the North City Gate, then turned the horse's head, and when he turned around, he saw that the black pressure behind him was full of ordinary people!
Everyone's eyes were enthusiastic and firm, and Zhang Twelve was extremely moved when he saw it.
"Send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell! Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, go back! Please believe me Zhang Twelve, the day I return to Jinling will be the dawn of the Tang Dynasty!
When the time comes, I hope that all the fathers and fellow villagers can wave their flags and shout for our Jinling soldiers, raise their arms and shout! ”
"Wave the flag and shout, raise your arms and shout!"
As soon as Zhang Twelve finished speaking, the ordinary people repeated his last sentence loudly, and the sound was resounding throughout the sky, hovering in the sky outside Jinling City, which was very shocking.
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
At this time, the officers and soldiers left behind on the city wall, under the command of Lu Sanpi, beat the drum and rattle the bell to see him off!
"Brothers, let's go!"
Zhang Twelve shouted, stepped on the stirrup, the yellow horse rushed out with a "whoosh", and the soldiers behind immediately stepped on the stirrups to catch up, and it didn't take long for more than a thousand people to disappear outside Jinling City, and whether it was the people under the city wall or the officers and soldiers on the city wall, their eyes were staring closely into the distance, even if there was no more figure, they were reluctant to move away.
At this time, they all had a common idea in their hearts, that is, they hoped that Zhang Twelve could return with the thousand cavalry safe and sound!
However, there are always casualties on the battlefield, and it is too difficult for no one to die.
Therefore, they could only look into the distance and pray silently in their hearts............
……………………
The yellow horse is worthy of being known as a famous horse that travels hundreds of miles a day, and the foot strength is really not comparable to ordinary horses, after running for a while, Zhang Twelve only felt the sound of the wind blowing in his ears, which was very comfortable.
After running for a while, Zhang Twelve felt that the silence behind him was abnormal, and when he turned around, he was a little embarrassed, because he was already empty behind him!
What about the big troops?
This Nima, the first time he led troops out to fight, he is really good enough as a commander, if he is on the battlefield now, it is estimated that he will become the laughing stock of others!
came to fight, but as a result, he lost all his soldiers, and it is estimated that it will make people laugh off their big teeth when it is passed out!
Zhang Twelve didn't have time to think about it, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, held the saddle and recognized the stirrups, and ran back.
Not long after running out, I saw a large army speeding up in this direction.
"Young Master!"
"Uncle Zhang!"
It was Lu San and Liu Qun who came up.
Liu Qun is a partial general in Jinling City, brave and strategic, and also knows some kung fu, when Zhang Twelve said to take people north, Lu Sanpi originally volunteered to follow, but Zhang Twelve told him that it was equally important to protect Jinling City, so he refused his request and left him behind.
Lu Sanpi couldn't follow, and later he selected back and forth in the army, and then selected Liu Qun, a partial general who was extremely outstanding in all aspects, to follow Zhang Twelve and be his deputy general, and he was also the highest leader in this team except for Zhang Twelve!
Lu San had never ridden a horse before, and he was definitely not suitable for riding a horse at first, so in order to take care of him, Liu Qun deliberately selected a relatively mild-tempered donkey from a group of mules and donkeys and let Lu San ride.
This donkey has a gentle temper, but the disadvantage is also quite obvious, that is, it runs too slowly!
No, how long has it been since Zhang Twelve ran before they caught up!
"Young master, you're running too fast, you really can't catch up!"
Lu San rode a donkey for the first time, and he was still a little nervous, and just now he was running at the top speed of a donkey in order to chase Zhang Twelve, so not only Lu San was out of breath, but even the donkey under his crotch was a little panting.
Liu Qun next to him also laughed and said: "Uncle Zhang's yellow horse is really outstanding, ordinary horses can't catch up at all, let alone Brother Lu's donkey!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the horse he stepped on, and then continued: "Speaking of which, my horse is not an ordinary person, and it is also a famous horse in Jinling City, but today in front of Zhang Xianbo's yellow horse, it is also dwarfed!" ”
Zhang Twelve heard this, and said with a smile: "It's all my fault, the first time I rode this horse, I was a little excited, and I didn't even pay much attention to the fact that you couldn't keep up with the back!" Let's wait here! ”
So all three of them stepped on the stirrups and stopped, and waited for the large army.
After a while, the large army slowly followed.
And there were actually not only a thousand people who came out with Zhang Twelve, because in addition to a thousand cavalry, there were four or five carriages!
One of these carriages was occupied by nearly ten gentlemen brought by Zhang Twelve from the Twelve Theaters, because this siege was not the goal, the purpose was to let all the people know about Tang Yizhi's crimes, so cultural export was quite important.
And the rest of the carriages are naturally loaded with grain and pots, the ancient war is about a "soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first", because the ancient war needs to trek through mountains and rivers, and it may take several months or longer to fight a war, and in this case, the most important thing in fighting a war is to ensure daily life.
At this time, food is particularly critical.
Therefore, in ancient wars, especially some people who went to remote places to fight, they would send many horse-drawn carts with grain to go first before marching, after all, the grain carts were too heavy, and if they went on the road together, they were afraid that they would go too slowly and be pulled down by the large army!
Waiting for the large army to come up, Zhang Twelve also slowed down this time and followed the large army to the north.
………………
This month is the hottest time of the year, and when I come out in the morning, because it is still early, the sun is not fully out, so I don't feel it, but after walking for half a day, the sun is shining.
Not to mention that people are hot, even the horses and donkeys below are not hot, so after walking for dozens of miles, they happened to come to a forest, Zhang Twelve saw this, and asked Liu Qun to pass the word, and everyone found a shady place to rest in the woods!
After saying that they would rest on the spot, those officers and soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when they left the city, everyone was in high spirits, but they had not yet fought, and they had only walked for a while, and they were already a little wilted like frost-beaten eggplants.
Zhang Twelve saw all this in his eyes, and thought to himself that fortunately he was here to strengthen the façade with these officers and soldiers, and he didn't need them to charge into battle, otherwise he was afraid that it would be over!
Although he only brought more than 1,000 people, there was no shortage of troops that should be used in the war, such as scouts who were on guard duty to spy on the troops, and they were also with the troops.
Because it was still a long way from Quzhou City, the first city north of Jinling, the scouts did not go out immediately, but after the large army stopped to rest, they turned around in the woods.
After a while, the scout came and said that there was a small stream at the far edge of the woods, and although it was small, the water was relatively clear.
This news is not bad for Zhang Twelve and them, because it is very hot now, although everyone has brought water bags, they have already drunk nearly half of it, and considering that it will take another day to get to Quzhou, everyone is very restrained in drinking water now.
Now when they heard that there was water in front of them, they no longer had any scruples, and directly let go of the water, and when they had finished drinking, they sent someone to the creek that the scouts said, and filled all the water bags, and then it was over.
Zhang Twelve drank a few sips of water, looked up at the sun hanging in the air, felt sweaty all over his body, and thought that this day was too hot, this time was not suitable for a long journey, otherwise he would be able to heat people up!
So he looked at Liu Qun next to him and asked, "General Liu, how far is it from Quzhou City?" ”
Liu Qun was very familiar with this area, and without even thinking about it, he said directly: "We set off in the morning, and we didn't rest in the middle, we should be halfway out!" If you continue to walk like this, I am afraid that before dark, you will be able to see the walls of Quzhou City! ”
Zhang Twelve thought about it, this distance was not too far, so he said to him: "I think the weather is too hot, if you continue to walk at this time, the brothers are afraid that they will be sunburned, and then they will suffer!" ”
Liu Qun also nodded, it is dog days, the hottest time of the year, even the croppers know to work in the fields in the morning and evening at this time, not to mention others.
"Uncle Zhang, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhang Twelve thought for a while, and then said: "This forest happens to be a good place for shelter, and there is a water source next to it, why don't we rest here, and when it's not too hot, let's continue on the road!" ”
