Chapter 124: The Crazy Jiang Family's Army
Facing the clusters of sharp spear tips that shone with a cold light around them, the faces of the two silver-armored swordsmen did not change color in the slightest, as if they were completely ignoring the immediate crisis.
"It is said that the people are brave and brave, but I didn't expect it to be such a brave method, which is really eye-opening. If His Royal Highness King Yu wants to kill us, then even if the order is given, we are just a small pawn in front of my general's tent, and it is not a pity to die. But to have a princess of the Qing Dynasty to bury us with is enough. ”
The handsome swordsman at the head looked at Duoduo after the handsome case and said loudly, with that seemingly smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not facing a life and death crisis, but talking about a trivial matter.
Time passed little by little, there was only a group of people of different lengths and thicknesses in the big tent, but no one spoke, and there was no other movement, and the whole big tent showed a kind of oppressive quiet, as if any unexpected movement could instantly cause a change in the situation.
Duoduo forced his eyes on the two envoys of the Jiang family army with a smile of scrutiny and oppression, and did not say a word.
The two silver-armored swordsmen also looked as usual, but the handsome swordsmen led by them looked at Duoduo, their eyes were neither afraid of begging for mercy, nor provocative and arrogant, as if they were looking at a very ordinary person, not the Manchurian prince who held an army of 30,000 and had the power of life and death for the two of them at this moment.
After a while, Duoduo finally smiled and waved his hand: "Withdraw." ”
With a bang, all the armorers disappeared into the tent in an instant, as if they had never entered at all.
"I'm bold, this king hasn't seen such a kind of Ming person for a long time. Why don't you vote for this king, listen to the orders in front of this king's account, and ensure a good future for you in the future, than if you follow a thief and obey orders, how about it? ”
Duoduo suddenly changed his face to a pleasant smile and began to recruit the two of them.
"Thank you for your kindness. However, I am afraid that nobodies such as me can't afford the attention of the prince. Compared to the two of us, I wonder if the prince is more interested in the 20,000 army? The handsome swordsman smiled slightly.
"What do you mean?" Duoduo's eyes narrowed, looking at the two of them.
"Lord Wang, the two of us came here to write a war letter on behalf of my general. Please forgive me for saying bluntly, although the prince's army is brave, if you want to take down the fortress of our army, I am afraid it will not be easy. My general said that if the prince insists on attacking the city, then we will accompany him to the end to see if the prince's 30,000 troops will shed their blood here, or if the prince can break through the fortress of our army. So, my general has a proposal, I don't know if the prince is interested. “
The handsome swordsman spoke eloquently.
As soon as these words came out, the generals in the big tent became a little commotion, and they looked at the two envoys of the Jiang family army one by one with unkind eyes, and they wanted to kill them as soon as possible.
Duoduo no longer put on any posture of force deterrence at this time, waved his hand, and the generals quieted down.
"Tell me about it."
"My general has heard that the Manchurian iron cavalry is powerful in the world, and my Jiang army also happens to have a cavalry, so my general proposed that tomorrow both sides send 5,000 cavalry to conduct a charge duel. If our army fails, our general will personally lead 20,000 troops to obey the prince, and from then on he will be driven by the prince. However, if your cavalry fails, then the prince must withdraw his army immediately, and he needs to promise my general a condition. ”
The handsome swordsman said unhurriedly.
Before the words were finished, there was a commotion in the big tent, the generals looked at each other, and some people couldn't help laughing, as if they had heard a particularly funny thing, especially Ao Bai laughed even louder, and the whole big tent was his laughter.
When Dodor heard the messenger's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed too, which made the laughter in the tent even louder and more intense, as if everyone were watching a particularly funny harlequin show.
The two silver-armored swordsmen, the one behind him showed anger on his face, but after seeing that the handsome swordsman in the lead was still calm, he had to suppress his anger.
Who doesn't know that the Manchurian iron cavalry is invincible in the world, even the Mongols who are good at riding and shooting have been conquered by Manchuria, and the Ming cavalry has seen the Manchurian iron cavalry and fled. If it is said that Manchuria can become today's Manchuria, the cavalry can be said to have made great contributions.
They did not expect that someone would challenge the proudest and strongest cavalry of the Manchurians today, and it was with equal strength. The craziest thing is that they are challenged by a group of bandits and horse thieves.
This made all the Manchurian generals think that this is an extremely crazy and extremely ridiculous thing.
These horse thieves are either crazy or stupid, and if you defend the city well, you may still have a way to live. But if you arrogantly give up your advantage, and instead have to fight against the Manchurian cavalry with the same strength, you really don't die fast enough.
That's why they laughed so loudly and so happily, because everyone thought that the thief surnamed Jiang was absolutely crazy.
As for what the handsome swordsman said later, these people didn't hear it at all, do you still need to think about this kind of thing? I have thousands or even hundreds of men and horses in the Qing Dynasty, and often chase tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and kill rivers of blood, let alone five thousand thieves, even fifty thousand are not the opponents of our Qing cavalry.
Years of conquest and military prestige made all Manchurian generals think that this is a duel with no suspense at all.
Although this is the same thing that Dordor thinks, he is more of an excitement after the plan has succeeded.
In the past few days, he has continuously driven the Han Eight Banners to attack the city, the purpose is to make the thieves in the city lower their vigilance, give birth to pride, and then go out of the city to fight or steal camps or something. If that's the case, then it's time for this gang of thieves to be destroyed, and his unfavorable start to the battle can be regarded as having a said end to the past.
But he never expected that the thief army was not only fooled, but also so arrogant, proposing to use 5,000 cavalry to fight against his own cavalry, which is simply someone handed a pillow if he wanted to sleep, and put a weak girl in front of a big man who has been a bachelor for many years.
Moreover, the condition that the envoy of the other party was willing to surrender if he failed also made him interested. After all kinds of fighting and contact in the past few days, he was deeply impressed by the combat effectiveness and equipment of the thief army in front of him. If you can bring this team under your command, it will definitely be a great improvement for your brother's strength.
In Duoduo's opinion, this thief army is even stronger than Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and the combat effectiveness of these former Ming armies.
Finally, Duoduo restrained his smile, looked at the handsome swordsman with a calm face, and said, "You said there are still conditions?" Let's hear it. ”
The generals also restrained their laughter, and they all looked at the two silver-armored swordsmen with a look like a play, wanting to hear what they could say about the funnier conditions.
"My general said that if our army wins, in addition to the retreat of your whole army, your country must take out one million taels of silver, 100,000 stones of grain and grass, 3,000 pairs of armor, and 2,000 war horses within one month as war reparations and ransom to redeem the princess of your country." When the handsome soldier said this, there was a kind of confidence on his face.
The leader of the full tent was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of crazy laughter, and even the laughter of Ao Bai was even more leaning forward and backward, without any image at all.
To them, these words are even more ridiculous and arrogant, and they are even more unbelievable than a fool's dream.
In the past few decades, Manchuria has been going around to conquer others, robbing money and things from others, robbing people and people, but I didn't expect that today's small army of thieves would be so whimsical, and the lion would put forward such conditions with a wide mouth, just like a mouse talking to the lion about the conditions, asking the lion to divide his own meat and make rations for them, which is ridiculous and crazy.
Therefore, no one was angry at this time, but they all felt that the thief surnamed Jiang had sent these two people to be funny.
Just imagine, would a male lion be angry at the provocation of a mouse? Of course not.
Duoduo also laughed, and after a while, he finally slapped the handsome case, laughed and said loudly, "Okay, this king promises you." Go back and tell your general, and the king of tomorrow will play with him. ”
In Duoduo's opinion, this thief surnamed Jiang is absolutely crazy, and there is no possibility of winning at all. So don't talk about these conditions, even if he offered to let Duoduo give his wife to him, Duoduo would probably agree, because it was just an empty word, and there was no possibility of fulfilling it at all.
The handsome swordsman said seriously: "In this case, please ask the prince to issue a letter and stamp it with the handsome seal, so that my general believes that the prince is not a mouthful." ”
Duoduo raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, laughing: "Okay, Zhongjun Sima, prepare a letter." ”
An old man with a white beard came out from behind the big tent, and quickly wrote a letter on the small desk beside him, and presented it to Dodor.
Duoduo glanced at it roughly, and then took his handsome seal and stamped it on it.
The little guy next to the handsome case handed the letter to the handsome swordsman, and after reading it, he carefully dried the ink of the letter, and then folded it meticulously before carefully putting it into his arms, as if he was carrying a peerless treasure.
These actions made the generals of the Qing army on both sides even more happy.
Dodor was amused by the man, as if he really thought he was going to get these things.
"His Royal Highness King Yu is really cheerful, then tomorrow the cavalry of the two armies will face each other, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will not take the opportunity to attack. In the next farewell. After the handsome swordsman put the letter away, he clenched his fists and said with a serious face.
Duoduo didn't embarrass them anymore, and let the two go with a smile.
When the two of them had left the tent, they heard another burst of maniacal laughter inside, which almost toppled the tent.
After the two envoys rode their horses away from the Qing army camp, they kept walking slowly, until they were almost a stone's throw away from the fortress gate, and the handsome swordsman couldn't help laughing.
