Chapter 685: The Ningxiang Army is here
Niu Yan was about to be crushed by the armor on his body, especially this iron armor weighing ten catties, all the weight seemed to be pressed on his shoulders.
After standing here for a long time, my shoulders have been pressed red, and I am drenched in sweat and painful.
This kind of thing is actually not beautiful, as Dad said, the two armies face each other, and the decisive victory is actually in an instant. A campaign that lasts for days or even months is more often than not, the two armies of the enemy and us test each other, seize strategic points, march, march, and continue to march. It's like two clever Go players, who play against each other at the beginning, and don't directly clash with each other. Instead, they enclosed their own cloth until they were all formed and there was no room for manoeuvre, and then they began to brutally strangulation in the middle of the plate.
In his bones, Niu Yan is a standard reader. Born in a scholarly family, he studied hard under the supervision of his father, who had a famous father, and took the imperial examination as the highest ideal in life.
However, in the competition of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, there are a few people who can have the last laugh. Even if he is as talented as his father, isn't it that after winning the promotion, he has failed the list for eight consecutive years, exhausting the last trace of spirit in his heart?
Therefore, since Niu Yan won the show, he never thought about how far he could go on the road to the imperial examination. In addition, the family background is not bad, so it is not bad to eat like this and wait for death for a lifetime. In fact, he is not a person who can endure hardships, he likes Tang poetry and Song lyrics, likes exquisite food, likes silk and silk clothes, and likes all the good things in the world. Especially the beauties......
But a drought that lasted for more than a year, a stormy war changed everything.
Almost overnight, his father, who used to be called Confucius Mencius, the prince of heaven and earth, and his father, who took the maintenance of the order of heaven as his own responsibility, suddenly joined the thief army with his family and became a thief. This huge change made Niu Yan unexpected and unacceptable. A good scholar, who suddenly became a general in the thief army, was rudely stuffed with a butcher knife in his hand by his father, and couldn't help but make him groan in his heart: What is wrong with this world?
Everything has changed, the poetry and books of the past are full of volumes, and the elegant life of the past can no longer be returned
。
The only thing that remains unchanged is that the bright and heroic girl in front of her blooms so brilliantly like a flower in the May sun, and the red is dazzling, so bright that people can't breathe.
As the captain of the guard of General Gao Yigong, he was on duty under the eaves for about half an hour, and Niu Yan's eyes never left the woman in the garden.
This is the first time Niu Yan has seen the red lady wearing the clothes of an ordinary girl, holding a fan, standing under the begonia tree, with bright eyes and sharp teeth, a clever smile, and beautiful eyes. Seeing her appearance at the moment, Niu Yan suddenly remembered that when he went to Henan to participate in the township test three years ago, he saw Tang Bohu's "Autumn Wind Fan Picture" in the Henan prefect's mansion. But the money was sent, and the people received it all, but he still returned to his hometown with nothing. Not only that, but when my father came to pay for it, he was severely reprimanded.
The groveling appearance of his father and the trace of resentment in his eyes will never be forgotten by Niu Yan for the rest of his life, which is probably the direct reason why he joined the thief army! In Henan at this moment, there are not a few scholars who are as disgruntled as their father, right?
The red lady surprisingly didn't wear a military uniform today, probably because she felt that the weather was too hot and she couldn't stand it. She wore only a moon-white linen shirt, and because the fabric was so rough, it contrasted her white and almost transparent skin.
She is not tall, but she also looks slender, with a kind of gentleness like a small jasper. Because of this, people have the urge to hold her in their arms and love her.
Sensing Niu Yan's hot gaze, the red lady turned her head, the corners of her mouth turned slightly, and her eyes curved into two crescent moons: "Niu Gongzi, what are you looking at?" ”
Niu Yan suddenly came over, but there was a chill in his heart, and he said secretly: What's wrong with me, how did I get her idea. Her husband Li Yan Gongzi is a good friend of his father, and now he is popular in the army, but he can't be offended. Moreover, this woman looks like a little girl on the surface, but who knows that her hands are stained with the lives of at least dozens of Ming soldiers. If I fall into her hands, I don't know what I will be tossed into by her.
His face turned red: "I, I, I ......"
At this time, several cannons rang out in the distance.
The two of them didn't bother to speak, and looked up at the same time
。
However, I saw that the sky in the distance was still a blue sky, and two clouds of gunpowder smoke spread out in the air, and they were immediately torn apart by the wind in the sky.
He seemed to be able to smell the smoky smell of black powder between his mouth and nose.
Then, there was an uproar: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, Ningxiang Army is coming!" ”
Then, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and everywhere there were running soldiers.
"Ahh Niu Yan opened his mouth wide for a long time before he shouted: "Sun Yuan is here, Sun Yuan is here!" There was a tremor in his voice. This god-killing fame is too great, he has never been defeated since his debut, and he is extremely violent. Killing prisoners was nothing to him. I heard that he also likes to eat human flesh. There was once a Jiannu who fell into his hands, and he cut the soup pot piece by piece, and ate it for three days before he lost his breath.
A messenger from Liu Chao's side came over and said that Sun Yuan, the murderer, was ruthless in Suzhou and Yongcheng, killed more than 1,000 prisoners in one go, and demolished the houses of the people outside Yongcheng.
I can't imagine that such an enemy, who is even more ferocious than Jiannu, has already been killed here.
He felt his hands and feet go limp, and he wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do.
Seeing that he looked stunned, the red lady snorted, and then covered her mouth with a fan like an ordinary daughter: "Niu Gongzi is so timid, really speaking, you are a real scholar." Unlike my father-in-law, when he led the army, he learned to speak foul language, which really made people's hearts unhappy. ”
This smile made Niu Yan completely lost.
The red lady's eyes flashed: "Actually, you don't have to worry, Sun Yuanbu is so far away from our old camp, even if he brings troops over at dawn, he will have to arrive in the afternoon." It's just noon, and it's not so fast. With these two cannons just now, it should be that the scouts in the distance discovered the traces of the Ningxiang Army and came to report the news. ”
"It's good if you don't arrive, it's good if you don't arrive." Niu Yan said stupidly.
The red lady lowered her head and glanced at the begonia tree a few times before throwing the fan in her hand on the few: "Niu Gongzi, let's go see Ling Zun and my father-in-law." ”
