Chapter 1 Jiangmen Huzi went to Liaodong
Section 9 Wanting to join the army
Liu Yunwei waved his hand, and the horse team behind him immediately stopped, and rode forward alone, seeing a group of young people blocking the entrance of the village, Liu Yunwei recognized them as villagers from Donggou Village. At the head of the way was a tall young man in his twenties, standing in front of his companions as if standing out from the crowd.
Liu Yunwei asked, "What's the matter with the folks?" ”
The young man at the head hugged Liu Yunwei and said, "General, we are all from this Donggou Village. We want to follow the general."
Liu Yunwei was a little surprised, these originally cowardly villagers did not dare to resist in the face of the destruction of their homes and the killing of their relatives, why did they want to join the army now? Liu Yunwei looked at the four generals beside him, and they were also a little puzzled.
"Folks, follow me to fight with the Tartars, have your families agreed?" Liu Yunwei asked.
"Back to the general, I don't have any family anymore." As he spoke, the young man couldn't help but cry bitterly, and so did his companions behind him.
"Okay, okay, what are the dignified men crying! , if there is revenge, revenge, if there is nonsense, kill! What's the use of crying. Zhao Kaishan saw a group of men crying and said impatiently.
"The general is right!" The young man wiped his tears and said, "I was incompetent before I waited, and I didn't dare to fight with the Tartars because of this great calamity. Last night, the general paid tribute to our relatives with the head of the Tartar, and we are grateful. We are all homeless now, and I beg the general to take them in, so that we can have a chance to kill the Tartars to take revenge. ”
Liu Yunwei stared at them for a while, then pointed to the young man and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"General Hui, the villain's name is Daniel Zhang."
"Okay, you can take your brothers with me, you eleven people will form a team alone, and you will be the captain."
Everyone was very excited when they heard that Liu Yunwei accepted them, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Daniel Zhang even shouted: "General Xie, I will definitely follow the general to the death." ”
The sun was in the sky, and the dust on the road was turned into smoke and dust by the horses' hooves.
Liu Yunwei and his group had already rushed to the road all morning, and at noon they came to a place seven miles west of the Hara River. Daniel Zhang and the others are already tired and a little prostrated at the moment, although they can ride horses as ordinary people in Liaodong, there is a big gap in both physical strength and riding skills compared with the elite family, and they can only follow the tail of the team all the way.
Liu Yunwei looked at the scorching sun, and saw that Daniel Zhang and the others were exhausted to the limit, and asked, "Brother Daniel Zhang, how are you?" ”
"Back to the general, I, we're fine."
Zhao Kaishan wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Big brother, let's take a break." It's too hot to rush at noon, and people can endure it, but the war horse can't stand it. ”
Liu Yunwei didn't speak, and looked at the family members who were also a little tired, and wanted to rest here. But Liu Yunwei observed the surrounding environment again, and found that there were hills on both sides of the road here, and there was a forest on the left, and the place where everyone was located was between the two hills.
So, Liu Yunwei said: "You can't rest, everyone hold on a little longer, and rest after here." ”
Wen Poyu also noticed the terrain problem and said, "Big brother is right, the terrain here is not good, let's go further." ”
Everyone looked around and noticed that the terrain was not conducive to trimming. So he didn't stay any longer, followed Liu Yunwei to continue his journey, and hurried all the way to the Hara River.
Everyone galloped for five miles, and not far ahead was already a flat land, but the woods on both sides of the road seemed to be even denser.
Liu Yunwei saw that the distance was flat and the trees were scarce, so he pointed ahead and said, "Let's go further and rest in front." ”
"Order." The crowd responded.
At this moment, a long arrow was shot from both sides of the road and nailed in front of Liu Yunwei's horse.
"Enemy attack!" Wen Poyu roared angrily and stood in front of Liu Yunwei.
Lu Ying hurriedly ordered the family: "Lie in the horse formation, prepare for war!" ”
Thirty-six family members were in danger and dismounted one after another. or form a war horse formation, or hold a bow to guard, or draw a sword outward. In just a moment, dozens of people formed a defensive formation, and Liu Yunwei stood in the formation to command. Daniel Zhang and the others stayed beside Liu Yunwei, holding weapons in their hands, very nervous, and their hands kept shaking.
Liu Yunwei looked at Daniel Zhang and the others and said, "Fight to the death, blood courage first." Do you want to turn the fear in your heart into anger against the enemy, and move forward? On the battlefield, the more afraid of death is, the faster they die. ”
"Yes, General." Daniel Zhang and the others replied, but they were obviously still very nervous and afraid.
Liu Yunwei also ignored Daniel Zhang and the others, he looked at the woods on the side of the road, and saw a knight coming out of the woods on the left side of the road, riding a horse to the front of the formation. The woods on both sides of the road were full of people, and I don't know how many people and horses were walking.
Liu Yunwei saw that the one blocking the road was a young strong man, Kong Wu was powerful, and a two-handed machete in his hand was very heavy, which looked not much lighter than Zhao Kaishan's Kaishan axe, and he was wearing a modified Jiannu armor.
Liu Yunwei couldn't help but praise in his heart: It seems that this person has fought with Jiannu, what a warrior! So he asked in a loud voice: "We are Liaoyang officers and soldiers, passing by here." What does this strong man mean by blocking the officers and soldiers, do you want to rebel! ”
"Haha, what bullshit officers and soldiers, Lao Tzu is stopping the officers and soldiers!" The man laughed, not caring about the identities of Liu Yunwei and the others.
Liu Yunwei couldn't help but be stunned: It seems that this person has something to do with the official army.
Zhao Kaishan was furious when he heard this: "Dog thief! Dare to run rampant in front of grandpa! Lao Tzu has killed barbarians, killed Jiannu, and today I will kill you one more bandit! ”
"Look for death!" The strong man blocking the road raised the machete in his hand high, only to see more than 100 people rushing out of the woods on both sides of the road, surrounding Liu Yunwei and others.
These people have a variety of weapons, knives, guns, clubs, and even farm tools; But some of the seemingly brave ones are wearing armor, and the style is also changed from the armor of Jiannu.
"Get on the arrow!" Lu Ying let out a long shout, and his subordinates put on their arrows and drew their bows one after another, aiming at the few people who seemed to be more brave.
Liu Yunwei raised his hand, signaled Lu Ying to steady, don't let go of the arrow first, and said to the strong man who blocked the way: "What do you call this strong man?" ”
The strong man was a little surprised when he saw that the officers and soldiers were not afraid of danger and were well-trained, although there were many of his subordinates, he also knew that most of them were rabble, so he also restrained his subordinates and responded: "My name is Li Tianhao." ”
"Li Zhuangshi, what can you say about acting like this today?"
Li Tianhao said: "Okay, please ask this general to do me a favor." ”
"How can you help?"
"How about leaving your weapons, armor, and horses so I can let you go?"
"Humph!" Liu Yunwei shouted: "Bold! Are you robbing officers and soldiers? ”
"Officers and soldiers?" Li Tianhao was also furious and said, "What kind of officers and soldiers are you!" In this Liaodong, where were the officers and soldiers when Jiannu killed people? Where were the officers and soldiers when the people died? If you can't drive out the Tartars and protect the people, what use do you want your officers and soldiers to do? ”
After hearing this, Liu Yunwei suppressed the anger in his heart and thought: "This is not an ordinary bandit, it is estimated that it is a team organized by the people who have been persecuted by Jiannu, and it can't be beaten!" ”
"Li Zhuangshi, look at the armor on your body, it looks like it was taken from Jiannu?"
"That's right! Your officers and soldiers are afraid of Tartars, but Lao Tzu is not afraid! ”
Liu Yunwei knew that Li Tianhao was also a good man who killed Hu, so he had a plan in his heart and said: "Sure enough, he is a strong man." Then please see what this is? ”
After that, Liu Yunwei took the head of the next level of Jiannu from a baggage horse and threw it in front of Li Haotian's eyes.
"What is this?" Li Tianhao fixed his eyes and said in surprise: "Tartar! ”
The subordinates around Li Tianhao all looked over when they heard the voice.
"It's true!"
"What a Tartar head!"
"And the officers and soldiers who can kill the Tartars?"
"Absolutely! We are! Zhao Kaishan shouted, "We killed more than 100 red flag Jiannu in Donggou Village!" After that, Zhao Kaishan explained the cause and effect of the fight with the Belen Dance Club.
Li Tianhao was taken aback, he didn't expect that the officers and soldiers in front of him were so brave that only sixty people dared to raid more than 100 Jiannu and wipe them all out! Now in Liaodong, the official army has long been decayed and unbearable, but because of the prestige of the Ming army in the past, Jiannu did not rebel on a large scale, but small-scale looting is very common, and the officials and soldiers mostly turn a blind eye, or are powerless to intervene. What is the origin of the officers and soldiers in front of you?
"I don't know the general's name." Li Tianhao asked.
"Liaoyang General Military Mansion, Liu Yunwei."
Li Tianhao looked at Liu Yunwei, entangled for a moment, threw the machete on the ground, and beckoned his subordinates to put down their weapons, clenched his fists and said: "General Liu, there are no eyes below, I don't know that the general is a hero who defends the country, I don't know that your brothers are heroes who killed Hu, please forgive the general!" ”
After speaking, Li Tianhao fell to the ground and admitted his mistake to Liu Yunwei.
Seeing this, Liu Yunwei hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Li Zhuangshi doesn't have to be like this, all the heroes got up and spoke." ”
Liu Yunwei held Li Tianhao's hand and said: "Now that Jiannu is raging, it is the shame of my Ming warriors, Liu is just washing away his shame, what kind of hero is that." ”
Li Tianhao saw that he didn't blame himself, and he talked extraordinary, and thought to himself: I took my brothers to say that the good thing is to kill Hu Haohan, and what is not good is to scatter the soldiers.
Thinking of this, Li Tianhao took a step back, bowed to the ground again, and said: "General, now that Liaodong is unstable and Jiannu is rampant, my brothers and I have the heart to serve the country, but there is no way. When I met the general today, I begged the general to take him in, hoping that one day I could fight to the death with Jiannu to repay the country's kindness! ”
More than 100 people around knelt down together and said, "Please take it in, general!" ”
"Good!" Liu Yunwei helped Li Tianhao up again, "I have four fierce generals and dozens of family members, all of whom are my siblings. From today on, you, Li Tianhao and all the heroes, are also my Liu Yunwei's siblings! ”
"General Xie!"
"Haha, I said a long time ago that Li Tianhao is a man." Zhao Kaishan shouted at the top of his voice. Wen Poyu on the side glanced at him obliquely, and the meaning was clearly saying: When did you say that?
Liu Yunwei ordered to rest on the spot, and the family members and Li Tianhao's men scattered together to prepare for lunch.
Li Tianhao sat around with Liu Yunwei and others and asked, "General, are you going back to Liaoyang?" ”
Liu Yunwei nodded and said, "In the future, we will be brothers, Tianhao, you will be like a few of them, call me eldest brother." ”
"Yes, big brother!"
Zhao Kaishan said: "The eldest brother went to Liaoyang to get married. ”
"Congratulations, big brother."
Lu Ying remembered something while eating the dry food, and asked, "Tianhao, how many people do you have?" Where are you usually stationed? ”
Liu Yunwei and the others all looked at Li Tianhao, Li Tianhao didn't think about it, and said: "Brother Lu, I have three hundred and twenty people under me, and there is a small village in the mountains north of this place. In the future, I will follow the eldest brother, and when I turn around, I will pull the people out and lead them to burn the stockade. ”
Liu Yunwei took over and said, "Tianhao, when you have rested, you will go back with your brothers, call all the brothers to pack up, and go to Changning Fort in the east to find me." I'll take everyone there and wait for you first. ”
"Yes, big brother will go first, and I will arrive later."
"But there's one thing you have to remember."
"Please make it clear, big brother."
Liu Yunwei said: "Tianhao, since you join the official army, you must obey the military law, you must obey the order, and your brothers must also be reorganized." ”
Li Tianhao nodded solemnly and said, "Big brother, I understand, I have no opinion, my brothers are at the disposal of my eldest brother, I have nothing to say!" ”
"I also want to make it clear to my brothers, sooner or later we will have a bloody battle with Jiannu in the future, if anyone wants to go home, or don't want to join the army, don't stop them, let them go."
Li Tianhao said with a straight face when he heard this: "Slaughtering Hu Gou, this is the responsibility of the Han family's sons, it is the way of doing things on behalf of the sky, who dares not to go!" ”
