"Rustle, rustle!" Not a single person spoke, not a single torch, and in the distance, more than two thousand Ningxiang troops hurried in the wilderness with their heads bowed.

Spears were like a forest, muskets were on their shoulders, and wheels rolled on the dry ground, letting out low, painful groans.

"It's about to dawn, it's less than an hour, and I don't know how far away it is from Huangcun?" Like Tang Wenxing, Sun Yuan also felt the obvious changes in the moonlight and the night sky.

Hearing Sun Yuan's question, Yu Xiang and Xiao Mao quickly took out a surprisingly large map from their purse and spread it on the ground. Fei Hong, Shao Wei and other officers all surrounded him.

Someone looked up and looked around for the marker, and soon, Shao Wei shouted: "General, there is a hill in front of the north-west, one high and one low, like human tits."

。 If you read that right, it is forty-three miles from the old Tartar camp. ”

Fei Hong couldn't help but praise: "Shaowei, your eyes are really smart." ”

Although the other generals all looked at Shao Wei unpleasantly, they had to admit that this kid was a good hand at leading troops to fight. Moreover, people can read and write, and their minds are much more flexible than those from the border army.

As early as a year and a half ago, Sun Yuan knew through the prophetic sense of history that the Jiannu would invade Beijing in the winter of the eleventh year of Chongzhen. Therefore, for more than a year, he has collected the maps of the capital that he can collect early, and sent a large number of officers to draw many maps. To this day, every plant and tree in the Gyeonggi region can be said to be in his heart.

"Sure enough, it's here, forty-three miles, and time is very tight!" Sun Yuan sighed and calculated: The ancients generally got up at the end of the day, and the time was five to seven o'clock in Beijing time in later generations. And in the Beijing area, generally speaking, it will be dawn at four o'clock in the morning. In other words, there was only one and a half hours and three hours left for the Ningxiang Army. It is necessary to walk forty-three miles, or twenty kilometers, in three hours. After arriving at the ground, you have to go to the battlefield as soon as possible.

Sun Yuan asked Fei Hong: "Old Fei, how is it?" ”

Before Fei Hong could answer, the donkey snorted dissatisfiedly: "General, you are too underestimating our Ningxiang Army, forty-three miles of land is only 20,000 meters, what is it." For more than a year, our soldiers of the Ningxiang Army, who did not carry more than 20 pounds of armor and equipment every day, ran ten miles to him. This is a matter of time. ”

Fei Hong nodded: "General Sun, don't worry, there is no problem." ”

For more than a year, in addition to three days off every month, the first thing the Ningxiang Army got up every day was a five-kilometer cross-country. In the beginning, the soldiers were not physically fit enough, and some people ran in bloody urine. Later, Sun Yuan was also generous, raising meat every day, small rice, white flour can be made, and a lot of silver was sprinkled out. It can be said that in terms of physical fitness alone, the Ningxiang Army is already the first in the world.

For this battle, Sun Yuan had been preparing for a long time, and all his belongings were thrown in, so he trained such an iron army.

Of course, this is just an extraordinary move in extraordinary times. The Ningxiang army now has only about 2,000 people, and if there are a few more thousand, Sun Yuan will not dare to raise troops like this.

Hearing Fei Hong and the donkey's words, Sun Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still couldn't help but say: "It's been a whole night, presumably the soldiers are tired?" ”

Fei Hong: "Tonight is also evil, the moon is surprisingly big, and the walk is smooth, and everyone doesn't feel tired."

。 ”

When they heard this, everyone laughed.

Indeed, this moon, straight bite, is so bright that she can thread a needle. The sky and the earth are bright, and there is not much difference between the daytime and the day. Although everyone said that they walked all night, it was no different from walking, how could they get tired.

Turning their heads, the soldiers were all walking hot, and some even took off their helmets and armor and put them on their backs, just like that, still wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

"That's good, that's good." Sun Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the front and back again.

The capital has been built four times into the Kou, although it is said to be at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it has been washed into white ground by the military disaster. Along the way, there were ruins everywhere, deserted villages everywhere, and farmland overgrown with withered grass, but there was not a trace of living things in sight.

Beijing is located at the northern end of the North China Plain, the terrain is open, marching at night, the eyes are so open, there is not a single sound, the whole world seems to die, as if returning to the reckless years.

When the two thousand Ningxiang troops were stationed in the Bohai Institute, Sun Yuan still felt that the number was actually quite large. To tell the truth, because of the embarrassment at hand, Sun Yuan was already a little reluctant to support so many soldiers. In some cases, he even felt that there were too many people.

But in this vast land, the team of 2,000 people looks so weak. In the early hours of winter, a cold fog rises on the horizon, and the white expanse rolls in like a wave. It seemed that in just an instant, these two thousand people and horses would be instantly devoured by the desolate beasts hidden in the mist.

The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are.

At this moment, Sun Yuan is no longer the hairy young man he was when he was in Rugao, and he is also calm and cautious.

He suddenly straightened up and frowned: "Our army is advancing too fast, and I don't know where Chief Lu and General Wang are now, do you send a few scouts to contact them?" ”

The plan for a sneak attack on the old camp of Jiannu remained unchanged, but because of the lack of the high-rise and diving Guanning Army as the general reserve, the attack army was changed from four to three.

The two armies of Xuanfu and Tianxiong led by Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu were the central armies, taking a line due north, while Wang Pu's Datong army was in the south.

Sun Yuanjun, as a pioneer, is in the center

。

The three armies were separated by fourteen miles, and when they first came out of Changping, in order to speed up the march, everyone still carried torches. Fourteen miles, that is, seven kilometers away, on the vast plain, they can see each other clearly, and even if they shout, they can be echoed. （）

As the march became longer and longer, and he was afraid of being discovered by the Jiannu scouts, the long dragon of the three torches was extinguished. In addition, the Ningxiang army marched fast and had to fight in the front, leaving the other two troops far behind.

"It's the scout who sent the scout to get in touch!" Fayon waved his hand, and over there, the scout cavalry quickly put on their saddles. In order to save horsepower, the cavalry all pulled their horses on foot, and even the saddles were not installed.

Wen Jian was mean, and couldn't help but sneer: "It's still the elite of the nine sides, and the Xuanda border army still wants our Ningxiang army to play the vanguard." They're afraid of death, they can't even walk, and I think they can't even get on the kang. As for the Tianxiong Army, hehe, I don't think it's very good! A group of pig teammates. ”

It was rare for the donkey not to raise the bar with Wen Laosan this time, and said with a smile: "The third brother is right, they are all pig teammates. Especially Wang Yuncheng's Sichuan army, even more fucking pigs. said they would take the lead with us, but they haven't seen their shadows yet, and I don't know where we left behind? ”

"Wang Yuncheng, who has seen him?" Sun Yuan's heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Sichuan Army, I haven't seen it!" Hearing Sun Yuan's question, everyone was stunned.

Shao Wei said: "General, you forgot, when we sent troops from Changping in the evening, the general also sent someone to ask Wang Yuncheng when he would join forces with my Ningxiang army." The man surnamed Wang told us to go first, and he came later. I guess it's still behind me! ”

"No, no!" Suddenly, Wen Jian shouted: "Wang Yuncheng didn't come." ”

"Why, didn't come?" Everyone couldn't help but scream.

Wen Jianjian: "General Sun, you have forgotten that in the first half of the night, when we marched, we were all armed with torches, and it was clear how far apart the armies were. can be counted, there are three people. If Wang Yuncheng was behind us, why couldn't we see the torches? Therefore, the last general thought that Wang Yuncheng was only afraid that he was still staying in Changping at the moment, and he didn't come at all. ”

"Silk!" There was a sound of cold air.

The donkey couldn't help but shout: "Good Wang Yuncheng, retreat from the battle, isn't he afraid of the military law of the superintendent?" ”

Sun Yuan was also surprised in his heart: "Maybe the Sichuan army is walking slowly, so let's send someone to contact it."

。 By the way, let someone inform the superintendent again, maybe he knows where General Wang's troops are now, right? The battle will start in an hour and a half at most, so let the overseer urge the king and let him lean on me as soon as possible. ”

"Yes." A herald answered.

Soon, more than a dozen attendants divided into three routes, respectively to find Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Pu and Wang Yuncheng.

Waiting for the scout to leave, Fei Hong: "General Sun, what should we do now?" ”

Sun Yuan: "What else, time waits for no one, continue to march." ”

"But...... If the Sichuan army does not move closer to us as soon as possible, our Ningxiang army is only 2,000 men, how can we break the enemy's camp? Fei Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "The Sichuan army is also the essence of the Tianxiong army, and there are five thousand. With us, 7,000 soldiers, this can cause a riot in the enemy camp. ”

"No matter, the military order is like a mountain, time is pressing, let's go quickly. Perhaps, we all guessed wrong, maybe Wang Yuncheng is not far behind us! After Sun Yuan finished speaking, he walked into the team and vigorously pushed the cannon that had fallen into the mud puddle.

The four-pounder bronze cannon was simply a big iron lump, weighing about a thousand catties, and the journey was very hard. From time to time they got bogged into ruts and ditches, and it took a dozen artillery men a long time to keep the stupid thing going.

At this moment, the big guy broke down again.

Although the pack horse pulling the cart in front of him was equipped with a halter, the angry voice had already spread far and wide in the night.

The artillerymen had to be bare-chested, glistening in the moonlight, and they didn't know whether it was sweat or dew.

Even Pablo was so tired that his face turned blue, and he kept whispering curses in his mouth, which was probably in Portuguese, and no one understood it. I don't know if I was greeting the father and mother of the cannon, or if I wanted to have an immoral relationship with my direct female relatives in the family.

But Father Garcia was very energetic, and the old man rode all night on a donkey, and although his head and clothes were covered with dust, he still did not live among the soldiers, and whispered, "Do you know God?" ”

"Everyone dies."

"Only the kingdom of heaven endures

。 ”

"Dear brother, do you know how this world came to be? Who are you, where are you going in the future, and what is the meaning of your life in this world? ”

……

The soldiers were all harassed by him and were on the verge of an outburst. If it weren't for the fact that he was on the march, it is estimated that this old man would have been beaten so much that even his parents would not recognize him.

……

After the cannon was made, it took about half an hour to walk, and the scouts who had been sent out to make contact still did not return.

The uneasiness in Sun Yuan's heart was even worse: where are these three troops now, could it be that they have fallen far behind?

Something indescribable welled up in my heart, and there was a rare hint of fear in it.

However, Qu Laodun, who was exploring the way ahead, came back, and a scout was shot in the chest, and after returning to the main formation, he had fallen into a coma because of excessive blood loss.

Qu Laodun spoke unusually concisely: "Jiannu scouts, everywhere. ”

"All over the place?" Sun Yuan and everyone were taken aback: "How much, but our army is exposed?" ”

Qu Laodun: "I don't know, General Tang Wenxing has already gone over to check in person, and he will come back in a while." ”

"It's hard work, go down and rest!" Sun Yuanyi waved his hand: "Everyone keep going, be fast!" ”

After another period of time, the sky was gradually brightening, Tang Wenxing still did not come back, and the three-way scouts who went to contact Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Pu, and Wang Yuncheng did not come back.

This full moon night is about to pass.

There is no news at all, after such a long time, Lao Tzu is about to become deaf and blind!

The irritability rose from the bottom of his heart, Sun Yuan gritted his teeth fiercely, and cursed secretly: Tang Wenxing, what the hell are you doing? If you don't come back, Lao Tzu will cut you!

Straight lady thief, you are a cowhide king, I shouldn't have let you take Lao Tzu's cavalry.

At this time, it would be nice if Zhu Ting was here

。

********************************************************

In the moonlit night, which was almost transparent, the war horse snorted softly. In the dark, Tang Wenxing and his four subordinates walked cautiously with horses.

The five were not armoured, and the main task of the scout cavalry was to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and there was no need to charge into battle, so they put on iron armor and put on the horses to increase the burden. At this moment, they were reluctant to even ride their horses.

It was already dawn, and the fog was filled, and the dew was getting heavier and heavier, condensing on the dogskin hat on his head, and the water droplets fell one by one, falling into the neck socket, which was extremely cold.

The war horse is estimated to be a little tired, the muscles on his shoulders and legs are trembling slightly, and he is wet and cold.

The two cavalrymen took out cotton scarves in distress and carefully wiped the sweat and dew on the horses, and Tang Wenxing tore off the sleeve of his left arm with a "swish".

At this moment, a wave of blood burst out, and if there were many small red flowers, the milky white moonlight seemed to be dyed red.

One of the guards was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "General, is it seriously injured?" ”

"It's just a dog bite, what's it?" Tang Wenxing quickly stitched up the wound with needles and threads, while observing the injury: "Fortunately, it didn't hurt the bones, blood vessels and tendons, and it didn't affect the fight!" ”

He smiled: "A little injury, this thief God, he won't let me die." The person who can kill me Tang Wenxing hasn't been born yet! ”

The guards breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "The general hero, he has already slashed two Baya soldiers, I admire it!" ”

Tang Wenxing snorted disdainfully: "Jiannu is nothing remarkable, it's just a bully with armor on his body." ”

Guard: "General, this is strange, we have only walked a little far, and we have encountered three groups of Tartar scouts, and there are too many straight thieves." ”

Tang Wenxing also nodded: "It's strange, if it is an ordinary guard, it is impossible to send so many scouts." This density, tsk! That's why we're going so far. ”
