Seeing that the soldiers and ordnance were fully prepared, Zi Shou was ready to drill for three days before sending out troops.

In the sub-period, Chaoge is far away from the ghost side of Heifeng Village, and it will take at least seven or eight days to travel, and he is worried that Jizhou City will be lost. It is recommended that the Northern Expeditionary Army rest for a day and set off, and the soldiers can be trained on the way.

The child is subject to the recommendation of the sub-period, and only one day of repair.

In the afternoon of the same day, the child went to the business office to pick up the customized flying claw. The old servant guarding the door was already familiar with Zi Qi, and brought him directly into the main hall. Shang Qingjun saw that it was the sub-period, and personally welcomed him under the eaves.

Ziqi stepped forward to salute, "Miss Qingjun, Lord Shang is not at home again?" ”

Shang Qingjun let the child into the house and said: "The king asked his father to be the governor of the northern expedition to need the carriages, horses, money and food, how can he be free at home." ”

Ziqi said from the bottom of his heart: "It's really rare for adults to still worry about the country at an old age. What I entrusted to you last time I came to the Lord is all right? Shang Qingjun said with a heavy heart: "I've been ready for you, it's all here!" With that, he opened the package on the table.

When Zi Qi stepped forward, he saw that the bronze forged claws were even more exquisite than expected, the size, shape and even details were completely in line with his design, the color was golden and dazzling, and even the ropes were complete.

He couldn't put down the flying claws, and sighed at the superb forging skills of the craftsmen of Yin Shang, and the bronzes seen in later generations were all black and green, which turned out to be the result of oxidation. The freshly forged color turned out to be so beautiful.

Ziqi went to the door, called the personal guards to take the flying claws back to the barracks, and then said goodbye to Shang Qingjun. Shang Qingjun kept sending him out of the door and refused to go back for a long time. Seeing this, Ziqi turned around and asked, "Miss Qingjun, are you still in trouble?" ”

Shang Qingjun lowered his head and said softly: "The two armies are clashing, swords and guns have no eyes, how careful you are!" ”

Ziqi's heart was hot, and he said heartlessly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, I haven't married a wife yet!" ”

After saying that, he also smiled, as if fighting a war has nothing to do with marrying a wife.

Shang Qingjun stomped his foot angrily, but thinking that he was about to go on an expedition, he swallowed back the cruel words that came to his mouth. just said softly: "When can you be serious, take care of yourself, remember, the bamboo slip you promised me hasn't been done yet!" ”

Ziqi didn't expect her to remember it, and swore and said: "Don't worry, when the class teacher comes back, I will definitely do it for you!" ”

Shang Qingjun looked at the sub-period gradually moving away, and felt lost in his heart, and stood in front of the door for a while before returning to the inner room.

On August 16, the 26th year of Emperor Yi, Zishou led an army of 14,000 people. Assembled in the southern suburbs, ready to swear in the Northern Expedition.

Because Emperor Yi was cured from his illness, Zishou could only swear an oath on behalf of his father, bring the sacrifice to lead the Manchu ministers to the suburban altar, and Taizhu presided over the ceremony to kill the sacrifice and sacrifice the blood to the battle flag.

Under the altar, the banner is fierce, the soldiers are neatly dressed, the swords and guns are lined up, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

Zi Period, Evil Lai, Jiao Qi, and Fei Lian stood in front of the team with their heads held high. Zishou was dressed in a military uniform, with a sword hanging from his side, and a cyan cloak. Suddenly knelt on the ground, and the minister behind him also knelt down, Taizhu held a staff in his hand, wearing his hair and bare feet. He was dressed in colorful clothes, with bright feathers on his head, and he was babbling gibberishly to the sky, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

The two servants of the gods put the slaughtered animal on the dry wood, and Zi Shou himself lit the dry wood.

The fire rose from the ground, Zishou read the "Oath", more than a dozen horns sounded together, Zishou walked off the altar, and 14,000 Northern Expeditionary troops swore to the Northern Expedition.

Fei Lian led 3,000 advance troops to open the way in front, and Zishou led the army to Jizhou accompanied by Zi Period, Evil Lai and Jiao Qi.

On the evening of the third day of the division, the scouts reported that it was less than twenty miles away from Jizhou.

The son was ordered to camp in the same place and eat and sleep in repairs. After dinner, I walked out of the barracks and saw a bright moon in the sky, the night sky was like washing, and the moonlight was like water. Thinking that it was not far from the Dan'er Mountain Hut, I couldn't help but miss it even more.

He Bu came out of the middle camp and came behind Ziji, "What's the matter, Lord Guard can't sleep?" He Bu asked with a smile.

Ziqi turned around, "There is no one else here, what are you doing as an official, just call me by my name, why did you come out?" ”

He Bu pressed his sword in his hand and said: "I can't sleep, thinking of the tragic situation of the murder of my parents in my hometown, I can't sleep at night, and I can't wait to meet the ghost people immediately and avenge them!" ”

Ziqi understood He Bu's mood at the moment, and comforted: "What's the hurry, a few days will be the time to repay the blood debt with them." If you have saved up enough energy, are you still afraid that there will be no ghost party to kill? ”

While the two were talking, the evil came to patrol the camp. Seeing the two of them, they smiled and asked, "Why don't you rest?" ”

He Bu hammered his head twice, "I can't sleep, let's go out for a walk!" ”

Ziqi pointed to the barracks and asked, "Evil comes, tonight's camping method is different from yesterday's, why is this?" ”

Although the sub-period traveled from the 20th century when the knowledge exploded, and all kinds of knowledge were exposed and dabbled, they did not know anything about the knowledge of this ancient marching formation. The evil came from growing up in the army with his father Fei Lian when he was a child, and he was very familiar with these military affairs.

Since the expedition, I have often been asked this and that by the sub-period, and I am not annoyed by the evil, and I always give it to me. He pointed to the terrain and described in detail where it was close to the water source, where the mountains were high and dangerous, when to pay attention to the fire, when to pay attention to the water, the location of the camp gate, and the place of the horses...... I went into detail.

He Bu also listened very devotedly, and the sub-period memorized them one by one, and the two of them were very grateful for the evil.

Ziqi said to the two of them: "The moonlight is just right tonight, and I have made thirty flying claws, just in time to practice and practice." Each of you is going to choose nine soldiers who are light, strong, quick, and courageous, and we will gather here. ”

Evil came hurriedly said yes, walked two steps and turned back and asked, "Do you want to tell Jiao Yan?" Ziqi hurriedly stopped: "No, this matter is only known to those of us, don't make a noise!" ”

After the two of them went, Ziqi returned to the barracks and selected nine people, and then when they left the barracks, they would all rush out of the camp and come to the woods behind.

By the moonlight, Ziqi distributed the flying claws to everyone, and the evil came, He Bu and other people held them in their hands, and their faces were full of novelty and did not know anything.

Ziqi took one in his hand and explained it to everyone. Then he picked up the rope with his left hand, and with his right hand held the rope two feet from the claw, and spun it around quickly, and as soon as he let go, the claw flew up with the rope and grabbed the trunk with a bang.

Ziqi straightened the rope, climbed with both hands and feet, and climbed the canopy more than a foot high in the blink of an eye.

Evil Lai and the others were dumbfounded, and as soon as Zi Qi turned around, his head slid down, and when his head was less than five feet above the ground, he turned over again, and stood firmly on the ground with both feet. Then gently shake the rope and retract the claws.

He Bu was ecstatic, "Lord Overseer, this thing is so easy to use!" ”

Ziqi smiled slightly and let everyone practice separately.

Everyone practiced over and over again for an hour, and although he was tall and strong, he learned the fastest and was already able to control it easily. Everyone else can barely use it, but it's just not as skilled as evil.

He Bu asked with a smile: "Lord Overseer, why do we have to have a name for this special unit, what is it called?" Ziqi didn't want to worry about this, so he said: "Flying Tigers!" ”

Evil Lai laughed and said, "This name is good, majestic!" ”

Seeing that it was not early, he asked everyone to go back to rest and continue the exercise tomorrow night, and repeatedly instructed the twenty-seven soldiers to keep secrets. The origin of the army was forbidden, and the commander ordered, how dare the soldiers say no, and everyone quietly dispersed.

After breakfast the next day, Zishou left the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Fei Lian's headquarters to garrison in situ according to the plan agreed with Zi Ji in advance, left all the chariot baggage to Fei Lian, and ordered him to join the soldiers of Jizhou to follow and cover up if he found that the enemy army was retreating.

The large army bypassed Jizhou and entered the mountains, and Zishou asked worriedly: "Ziqi, there are so many people, if you get lost in the mountains, it will be child's play!" ”

Ziqi said confidently: "Your Highness, rest assured, I hunt in Jingshan for a living, and I will never get lost. After speaking, he called evil to follow He Bu, ordered the thirty people from last night, and went into the jungle first.

The sub-period walks in the front, and as he goes, let the soldiers leave markers. When encountering a place where the direction is unknown, Ziqi quietly took out the Jungle King Saber, confirmed it with the compass on it, and then continued to move forward. Once, He Bu actually let him see it, and asked curiously, "What kind of artifact is this?" Is that amazing? ”

Ziqi dealt in a low voice: "Sinan! ”

He Bu was also familiar with the child period, and asked salivatingly, "Lord Guard, is it okay to give this to me?" Ziqi glared at him, "Anything else is okay, this is not good, there is only one in the country, remember, don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it!" ”

He Bu stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to mention it again, and he was more careful when he used it again in the sub-period.

Zishou knows the truth of the speed of soldiers, and this is what Zi Qi told him. So the troops were ordered to rest only six hours a day, except for eating, they were on the road.

Every day after dinner, Zi Qi urged these thirty people to practice flying claws, and handed them some sign language that he had practiced when he played live CS in his previous life.

Evil comes to let you learn, there are no distractions at all, and He Bu has more thoughts. Sometimes you have to ask, "Lord Guard, where did you get so many strange things, does it work in war?" ”

Zishou rolled his eyelids at him, "If you want to learn, you will learn, you will talk the most, and you will know the beauty when you use it in the future." ”

The troops traveled through the mountains and forests for four days, and on this day they came to a valley.

He Bu was pleasantly surprised, and said to Ziqi: "Lord Guard, it's here!" This canyon is called Tiger Wolf Valley, and the only way out of the mountain is the cottage. My sister and I passed through here and went to Jizhou on the main road, less than ten miles in front of which was the ghost side of the Black Wind Village! ”

Ziqi hurriedly raised his hand and asked everyone to stop. Looking up, the canyon is deep and lush with vegetation. Everywhere there are dead branches and leaves that have accumulated over the years, and the grass has turned slightly yellow.

On both sides are steep stone walls, like knives and axes. The valley bottom is not narrow, but it is not wide. It can be paralleled with ten columns of soldiers.

Ziqi looked at it and asked, "Hebu, you mean that there is only one way out of Heifeng Village?" ”

He Bu nodded, "There is only one!" ”

Ziqi was secretly happy in his heart, and instructed the evil to take people to wait in the same place, and turn back to find Zishou alone. Seeing that Ziqi turned back the same way, Zishou hurriedly asked, "Ziqi, why did you come back?" ”

Ziqi walked up to the horse, "Your Highness, please dismount and speak!" ”

Zishou didn't hesitate at all, jumped off the war horse and walked to Ziji. Ziqi stepped forward and leaned in Zishou's ear, lowered his voice and whispered for a long time.

Zishou frowned and asked, "It's too dangerous, isn't it?" ”

Ziqi smiled, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?" ”

Zishou nodded, "Okay, but you have to be careful, you can't achieve the withdrawal, you can't fight for your life!" Ziqi's heart was hot, and he secretly scolded: "Those who write history are all big liars, and later generations will scold the king for being cold and cruel, and they will be scolded for thousands of years, so let's go eat!" ”

The team was ordered to stay in place and dig deep pits to cook and avoid fireworks. Then he sent 2,000 soldiers up the mountain to cut down the wood and stones.

The rest rested in place until it got dark.

Ziqi found He Bu and asked, "Last time in the palace, did you say that you could talk about ghosts?" He Bu nodded, "Everyone in front of him will say." ”

"If you are asked to pretend to be a ghost and enter the Black Wind Village, do you dare?" ”

He Bu pouted a little, "Then why don't you dare, as long as I can kill the ghost Fang people to take revenge, I dare to do anything!" Ziqi patted him on the shoulder, "Good job!" ”

In the sub-period, he gathered all thirty members of the Flying Tigers together and told everyone not to do anything, but to find a shade to rest.

After days of marching, the soldiers were exhausted. Evil came to his head with a piece of bluestone on his head, and after a while, he snored like thunder and fell into a deep sleep. He couldn't sleep at all, although he was good at martial arts since he was a child, it was the first time he went out to fight. I don't know if it's good or bad, but he has never been a person who easily admits defeat, and he has to live a wonderful life, which is his life creed.

The sun was setting, and the sunset was staining half of the sky red.

He thought of Dan'er again, and he didn't know how their grandparents were doing now. After being separated for so long, Ziqi felt more and more that he couldn't do without Dan'er at all. This kind of longing is unforgettable, even when I think of the days when I lived in the mountains, my heart is sweet.

Evil came to his feet and got up, "Ziqi, it's okay, right?" ”

Ziqi turned his head and glanced at the evil who was sleeping with red eyes, "It's early, continue to sleep!" ”

Evil came to answer, relieved. Lay down and fell asleep again. The child is very envious of the character of the evil come, as long as he is full, he doesn't want anything. live carefree; If you are used to it, you will laugh, and if you are not used to it, you must reach out and manage it, and you will be happy and chic!

The night was getting darker, and the dew was drenching the clothes.

Ziqi jumped up from the ground and said, "Get up and line up!" Let's go! ”

***********

[Tsing Yi says in this chapter]

When you read this chapter, you may be wondering, how did you send more than 10,000 troops to rescue Jizhou (actually the Su tribe) and the Northern Expedition to such an important battle, just kidding? Maybe you will think that Tsing Yi is writing nonsense.

However, it is true that only more than 10,000 people can be written.

According to the analysis of data such as the Book of Yi Zhou, the population at the end of the Shang Dynasty was about 500-7 million, and the national army should be 120,000-150,000. So far, the number of people in the Battle of Muye, the number of 700,000 on the Shang Dynasty's side has been disputed, and the number recognized should be about 170,000 (most of them were temporarily requisitioned slaves).

However, Tsing Yi believes that the 170,000 people are all carrying water, which was fabricated by later generations while smearing Di Xin. When I wrote the chapter "The Battle of Makino", I will discuss it with you.
