Chapter Ninety-One: Beacon Everywhere
"Light the beacon for help." Tang then ordered.
There was a hundred households who took out a beacon fire for help, lit it and put it on the ground, and after a while, the beacon fire rose into the sky, lighting up most of the sky.
Strictly speaking, they did not encounter any danger, nor did they meet the rules for calling for help, but everyone thought that Tang Sui had handled it wisely, and the most important thing now was to gather the separated people in one place, and then discuss what to do next.
They didn't dare to dismount and rest, but just let a few people dismount and put the corpses together. They were afraid that the enemy would suddenly come out of nowhere, and it might be too late to get on their horses and flee again, and seeing the scene on the ground, they could already estimate the enemy's combat strength.
The dead seen at the scene had more than 40 guards of the brocade guards, a team of men and horses was almost wiped out, but the other party did not leave a single person, of course, it is not excluded that the other party took away the wounded and corpses, but the scene at the scene is not like it.
All corpses have one characteristic, which is a sword to seal their throats.
The scar on everyone's throat is not large, it is obvious that they were hit by a sharp sword weapon, and they were killed instantly, and everyone's wounds were the same,
A terrifying question mark arose in everyone's hearts: Could it be that these forty people were killed by one person? Only one enemy?
If this is the case, it is in response to the statement of the hundred households, this is a visitor-level swordsman from outside the world. Nima, the red line is not so powerful.
"Lord Tang, there is a beacon fire in the distance, not one, but two." A lieutenant shouted.
"Lord Tang, there are two more places, and there are four beacons in total."
"Look, two more places."
The screams were more and more panicked, could it be that the enemy had so many people, divided into so many groups, to attack all their separate people?
"My lord, what should I do?" Gong Jiye said with a pale face.
"Hold on and wait for help." Tang Sui shouted.
Gong Jiye looked left and right, there was no one, and he had to "stick to it and wait for help" when no one was attacking, it was ridiculous for others to hear about it, but they didn't laugh, but felt fear.
"My lord, what if other places are like us and are waiting for help?" Gong Jiye suddenly thought of this question.
Tang Sui was reminded by him, his head is as big as a fight, this situation is not impossible to happen, if someone sees the scene they see now, it is estimated that they will also take this way of "holding on and waiting for help", waiting for the other parts to meet with him, if so, they are still in a state of division of troops.
But now they can't help it, even if they want to rendezvous, they can't know which beacon fire was sent by their own people, or which beacon fire can still find a living person, or even whether there are smoke screens deliberately released by the enemy in the place where so many beacon fires are ignited, or even a trick to lure the enemy.
He was hesitant for a while, and he didn't know how to decide.
"Why don't you send a few brothers to these beacon places to investigate?" Gong Jiye proposed.
When the people next to him heard this proposal, they all trembled a little, lest they let themselves go by name, in case they ran into an enemy, wouldn't they be sent to death?
"No, it's better to be still than to be still, the most important thing is to preserve our strength now." Tang Sui saw the expressions of these people below, and knew that sending these people to investigate would definitely be in vain, and these people might come back halfway, and then tell a lie and hide it. Besides, they were all brothers for many years, and he couldn't bear to let these people go to death.
After all, Jin Yiwei is not a regular official army, and he is not one of those generals who can indifferently watch his subordinates charge to their deaths. As for the brothers in the distance, he could only pray for them and chant Amitabha a few more times.
The passers-by and the guards were hurrying on their way, when suddenly one of them shouted: "My lord, beacon fire." ”
Passers-by looked up, and sure enough, a beacon fire was lit.
"My lord, there is one more."
"My lord, there are many more."
"My lord, there are eight beacons."
The passers-by immediately reined in their horses and looked in horror at the beacon fires rising into the sky everywhere. He couldn't react for a while, although he was equipped with a beacon for help for the Jinyi Guard's outgoing personnel, but no one had ever used it.
Now you don't need it, it's just eight places, what is the situation. Could it be that a catastrophe is coming?
"My lord, is this an attack on our people?" One of the guards asked, dazed.
"Nonsense, don't you see clearly that this is an urgent call for help?" The pedestrian reprimanded.
In fact, he only now understands that this is an urgent call for help, not that he doesn't understand, but he was stunned at first.
"My lord, what should I do?" One of the guards panicked.
"What else to ask, speed up." The pedestrians yelled, then slammed the horse's belly, sat down and shot it out like a rocket.
Just when many people in Jinyiwei were struggling to survive, they were proudly riding in the car to the sixth guard of Jinyi.
"Your Excellency is back, your adult is back." One of the guards shouted for joy.
"What, your lord is back?"
Many guards rushed out, and they all cheered loudly when they saw it, and besides, they were like children without parents, and they felt that they had no support.
"My lord, have you been released by the emperor?"
"Not yet, but I can come over during the day, and I have to go back to be supervised at night." Besides, he laughed.
"What?" The guards didn't understand, what was going on?
"It's to work here during the day under the supervision of the people of the Suppression Division, and then go back to be guarded at night, you stupid things, you don't understand this."
Moreover, he smiled and saw that there were crowded applicants all around, and there were dozens of coaches under the corridor who were assessing these personnel at the same time, and everyone was busy.
"Yes, it seems that you are doing well without me." Besides, he laughed.
"That is, if you don't come back, this commander will be mine." Zhou Dingcheng came in from the crowd and laughed.
"You want to usurp the throne." Besides, smile and pat him.
"Brother, why are you back, the emperor is gracious?" Zhao Yang walked out of the house, just in time to see Besides coming over, he was surprised.
"That's what happened." Besides, I had to explain it again.
"That's good, it's not far from full freedom. Is it the result of Gao Xiang and Zhang Xiang exercising? Zhao Yang said.
"I really don't know about this, not so fast."
Besides, after thinking about it, Gao Gong is not enough to see the emperor at night, and it is unlikely that he will go to the palace in the morning to meet him, it is estimated that this is the emperor's insight.
"You've all come to see it, this is the commander of our sixth guard in brocade." Zhou Dingcheng stood under the corridor and shouted loudly. He didn't know what he thought he was going to sell, so he almost banged a gong.
"I've seen you."
"I've Seen the Commander"
There was a shout of greeting below.
Besides, he waved his hand, and then met with a few sect leaders, and then smiled: "Everyone works hard, keep working, I will invite everyone to drink at noon." ”
After speaking, he walked into his office, which was full of alcohol, and it seemed that Zhou Dingcheng was about to turn this place into a wine vat.
"What's going on, the emperor let you out so soon, you won't escape by yourself, right?" Zhou Dingcheng was still a little worried, thinking that he couldn't let go of here, so he ran out secretly, saying that he had never heard of this kind of custody before.
"Why did I escape, not to mention how comfortable it is to stay inside, writing and painting every day is exactly what I want."
Moreover, after Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng went, Luo Cheng was so frightened that he told him about giving up his office and the lounge, and Zhou Dingcheng was dumbfounded.
"When did Gao Xiang become so righteous?" Zhou Dingcheng wondered.
"Maybe I gave 10,000 taels of silver when I went to see him last time, and it played a role." Besides, whispered.
This room is completely soundproofed, so you can't hear it outside when you talk loudly, but besides, you still habitually look around before whispering to Zhou Dingcheng.
"You ......" Zhou Dingcheng pointed at him, I don't know what to say, this silver is too prescient.
"Don't tell anyone." Besides.
"Of course, of course." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"How's the recruitment?" Besides, he asked.
"The people on my side are two thousand today, and they can come one thousand tomorrow, and Murong's predecessors account for the majority, but only three thousand people came today, and I don't know how many will there be tomorrow." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
When it comes to this, he is also a big head, and it seems that the original 10,000 people cannot be filled.
Besides, he sighed: "How many counts, anyway, I don't completely count on this, how many materials are there in these recruits?" ”
"I can't see it yet, but looking at the ruthlessness of those leaders, the elimination rate of nine out of ten is indispensable."
"What if we only have 4,000 men? It's all elite soldiers. Besides.
"That's not bad, it's better to have a shortage than an abundance, isn't this your standard, if one can really top ten at that time, even four thousand people can also top forty thousand people, a lot, the maximum number of Japanese robbers that can be gathered together is generally ten thousand people, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese is not strong." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"Four thousand, we can also find a few related households to borrow a thousand elite soldiers, how can five thousand be enough."
Besides, he didn't know that Zuo Ling had already hit the road, and he had brought him five hundred of the most elite soldiers, which was much stronger than the personnel he had trained quickly.
"Zhao Yang said that there are a few princes who can also get some people out of the palace, but if they really want to fight, they have to share the military merits, for the concubines of their families who have no inheritance rights." Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"Military merit can let some out, but it also requires the merit of their own soldiers." Besides, I thought about it.
"Well, that's it, I'll talk to Zhao Yang and ask him to contact those families."
Besides, those who were not willing to take this path may be elite, but they are all arrogant soldiers, if their master leads, they may exert normal combat effectiveness, if they change his command, these people may not be willing to obey orders, this is also a thorny problem.
It's really not good, he only uses Han Xin's art of war, put these people in the place of death, they will exert one hundred and twenty percent combat effectiveness, it is not easy for these people to surrender, they have a sense of honor, and the other is that they have small families, and the families of the war dead can get generous pensions, if they surrender to the enemy, especially the surrender of the Japanese invaders, even their families will be questioned, and the men will be assigned to the frontier, and the women may be punished in the palace or become prostitutes.
