Li Zicheng and his imperial battalion soldiers and horses finally passed Changping, and on the sixteenth day of breaking Changping, in order to destroy the feng shui of the ancestral tombs of the Ming Dynasty, he acquiesced to the practice of burning down the twelve tombs.
However, when I was about to do it, I realized how big the place of the twelve tombs was.
So Xingxing went in, and finally only set fire to a few peripheral Ming Palaces, and wanted to dig the tomb, but he had to give up.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Ming allowed Mizhi County Bian Dasui to dig up the ancestral grave of the old Li family.
However, the fire was together, covering the sky, and the smell was also very bad, starting from Changping, Li Zicheng and his imperial entourage were also relieved.
Li Zicheng wore a white felt hat, which was different from the color of the Ming army's standard red hat. Not only that, because he believes that the new dynasty is a water virtue, Li Zicheng only put a small yellow umbrella behind him to explain his identity, and the clothes on his body are still blue arrow robes, and this dress has not changed until he is dying.
He was followed by the most elite imperial soldiers, led by his adopted sons Li Shuangxi and Zhang Nai, hundreds of the best archers, and 3,000 cavalry who had followed him for many years to protect him.
Halfway through, Li Shuangxi, who had been at the front to spy on the military situation, reported by hitting his horse, and only said: "Father, there are several eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty who rode to Juyong Pass, saying that there is something important to ask to see the emperor. ”
"Didn't the chief whistle Liu Ye see them?"
"No, Liu Jiangye said that he doesn't like to deal with eunuchs."
Li Zicheng knew Liu Zongmin's temper, the commander-in-chief of the army, surnamed Lie Ruhu, and he didn't like the Ming Dynasty officials and these eggless goods the most, so although the troops were in front, it was reasonable not to see these people.
He laughed and said, "He doesn't like to see, does Lone love to see him very much?" The last time I saw that Du Xun, he said that he was going to enter Beijing to ask Emperor Ming to surrender, and he had to see him and encourage him. Who came up with a new idea this time? Don't see Lonely, take them to see Prime Minister Niu. ”
"Return to your father!" Li Shuangxi smiled: "It's Du Xun who comes!" ”
"Huh?" Li Zicheng was surprised, thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Bring him here, damn it, I don't want to see him." ”
When Du Xun knelt on the horse's head, Li Zicheng was already impatient, but he knew that these eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were subtle and easy to be frightened, so his tone was as gentle as possible, and he only said: "What's the matter, does Chongzhen want to surrender?" Hurry up and tell Lonely. ”
"The slave maid really has something important...... Du Xun didn't dare to raise his head, but just lay on the dusty road, analyzing Wang Dehua and everyone, as well as the changes in the city gate, towards Li Zicheng's 1510 road.
Hearing the end, Li Zicheng's face was already iron-blue, and he was very anxious, at this time, there was no need to ask anyone's opinion.
At that moment, he hurriedly said to Li Shuangxi: "Tell Xiaohuzi to leave that team of troublesome cavalry alone, and hand it over to Tang Tong and them to take care of, and bring the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp, and you go too!" However, all the soldiers and horses are unified to Luo Hu to command, just leave a few hundred horsemen on your side, most of them will be brought to you, Xiaohuzi has one or two thousand fine horses, tell him to hurry, before tonight, he must be asked to rush to the city of Beijing! ”
"Yes, father, the son will immediately send someone to pass the order." Li Shuangxi bowed down to answer the order, but when he saw the red cherry blossoms on his helmet like blood, he began to step off the war horse and gallop forward with his subordinates.
And behind him, under Li Zicheng's military orders, but seeing the banner waving and the sound of horns, countless veteran cavalry with a hundred battles and perseverance began to urge to step off the war horse and gallop towards the direction of the Beijing Division.
……
……
"Wei Da, come and rest."
After several years of hard fighting, the lone army placed in the area of Juyongguan and Changping under the prince finally had a chance to breathe.
Hiding in a lonely village, everyone got off their horses, picked up a handful of well water, and washed the dust off their faces.
The original gorgeous and beautiful chain mail was covered with dust, and each of them was covered with traces of slashes and arrows, and the robes were covered with bloodstained ash and tattered.
Such a small lone army, more than 100 iron cavalry, simply stirred up Li Zicheng and Tang Tong and other 70,000 or 80,000 troops to be uneasy, there is a loophole, and when they see a single person they will be killed, most of the enemy army will retreat when they cover up, and when they encounter the enemy cavalry chasing them, they will grit their teeth and go up to fight for their lives...... After a few days, everyone is like a living ghost from hell!
Wei Yue's robe is not as dirty as others, he has been riding horses and fighting for several days without sleep, everyone else is tired and weak, and his waist is soft on the horse, but this man is still standing straight, although his eyes are bloodshot, but he is still very sharp.
The one who sent him the water was Wei Xun, who was beaten the most in the queue training, and seeing that it was this family, Wei Yue also grinned: "Why don't you rest, you guy, you can't lie down without a military stick, right?" ”
Wei Xun just smiled, squinted his eyes and said, "We've been resting here for half an hour, have there been any movement around?" Wei Da, how do I think something is wrong? ”
Wei Yue didn't answer, but someone rushed to answer: "Tang Tong's Tanma is scared by us." ”
"Shicai Wei Da has beheaded five people by himself, and I know best that the night of Jizhen is not collected...... The most deceitful and afraid of evil, never dare to kill the Tartars, every time the Tartars invade, they hide in the fort, the people are gone, they go to cut the heads of the people, there is no good thing for the straight lady thief! ”
"I don't think it's right...... The thief cavalry has been biting us tightly, and the dozen or so brothers who broke it were all poisoned by the thieves and cavalry during the hard battle, why has it been a long time, and a cavalryman who broke into the camp didn't look at it? ”
"Isn't that right...... However, the grain team and the master's team still kept moving in the direction of the Beijing Division, and the suitable talents also flashed five or six teams of foot soldiers...... However, the one who entered the mother did not see the cavalry in a row! ”
"I'm afraid it's all closed, right? Yesterday there was a fierce battle, and more than 100 of us killed more than 500 of them, killing seven in and seven out, and I was afraid that I would be instigated to break into the camp. ”
"Hey, it's just right that they're not coming, let's take a break and go to the fucking food team to find hair."
"Haha, that's right!"
The people at the bottom were all tired just now, and at this time, they were half lying on the ground and just chatting, although there were seventy or eighty thousand troops around them, as well as Tang Tong's department that had been embellished with them, but these men were already fighting in and out of the army, and they were already nerves like iron, at this time, they washed and fed the war horses, and their bodies were lazy and didn't want to move, but as long as the sentinels on the periphery sent the police signal in, these men would stand up like tigers and continue to fight on the horses!
This is the young master spent half a year of hard work, big fish and meat every day, plus more than five hours of training of the iron man, the original kung fu does not need to be mentioned, in terms of perseverance, loyalty, kung fu, and even tactical comprehension, it is far from being comparable to ordinary officers.
"They are all the top of the master's heart......"
Wei Yue knew very well that these people in front of him were the backbone of the crown prince's large-scale reorganization of the army in the future, and if any of them were released, their status would not be low in the future.
But at this moment, it's not time to preserve your strength!
He glanced at everyone, his eyes were like cold lightning, and there was a faint sound of gold and stone in his words: "Don't guess, the Beijing division has changed, and the camp has turned all the cavalry in the direction of the Beijing division." ”
"Mother, Wei Da said yes!"
"I said how weird it was!"
The officers present were also trained by Zhu Cihong, and in the Shouhuang Palace, they explained the art of war for more than an hour every day, and at this time, the clues of the intelligence were analyzed, and as soon as Wei Yue understood, the cavalry soldiers present also understood everything.
Wei Yue's words were clear: "I should immediately return to the Beijing division with the whole division to help the young master get out." ”
"Yes, please give an order from Wei Da."
"When you return to the division and encounter the enemy, you will no longer avoid the enemy near Chaoyang Gate, and if you encounter the enemy, you will never die!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed loudly, and they all said: "Don't die!" ”
When everyone got on the horse, Wei Yue grabbed Wei Xun, stared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Xun, do you dare to fight for the sake of the master?" ”
"Of course you dare!" Wei Xun said angrily: "Our wealth and wealth are all given by the master, are you still afraid of death at this time, are you still a person?" ”
"Well, you're right to lick like that." Wei Yue nodded and said, "I'll wait for the heavy armor to go, no matter how fast it is, it's limited." You took off your armor and rode alone...... By the way, do you have any acquaintances at the city gates? ”
Wei Xun just grinned: "The military attache of our Beijing camp said that there are no acquaintances at the city gate...... Isn't this a big joke? ”
"Good!" Wei Yue was very calm, but the corners of his mouth still showed a smile, he said: "The army will not be faster than you, after all, they are a large army of cavalry, you have to rush ahead of them, the soldiers have not arrived, the city gate will not be too strict, you don't make a noise, sneak into the city to find the master to report the matter...... It's a deadly thing, can you do it? ”
"Yes, as long as I have a breath of air, I will definitely deliver the news."
After agreeing, Wei Xun took off his heavy armor, changed into an arrow robe, only a saber at his waist, and did not even bring a bow and arrows.
Farewell to everyone, he is from the official road all the way galloping, originally everyone attacked the army brigade, most of them were hidden in the village, walked the ditch road, rarely on the official road, at this time the horse whip, but also do not care about the hidden traces, on the avenue not long after, you can see the pillar of smoke straight to the clouds behind you, you can also faintly hear the gongs and drums when most of the army moves.
The army of 80,000 is also in a hurry, murderous in the sky, banners like a forest, countless pairs of straw sandals and cloth shoes and leather boots trampled on the land of Yan Zhao, noisy, guns and spears like a forest, this army of a hundred battles, the target in the eyes, but it is only close at hand to the Ming Jing Division!
……
……
"Who's down there? If you don't know your name, if you dare to move forward, I will give the order to shoot arrows! ”
Under the Chaoyang Gate, I suddenly saw more than a dozen figures coming in the dark, with five or six lanterns in their hands, looking down at the city tower, straight like ghost fire, flickering non-stop.
"Isn't it Kaimei brother?"
The city tower was in a panic and nervous, but the bottom was happy and disapproving, an old man with white hair, a scarlet robe and black yarn, and jade belt boots, this was originally a civil official dress, but at this time it was on the corner of the robe, and a sword was also inserted obliquely at the waist, which looked really nondescript.
"Is it Meng Lao?" The people upstairs were also shocked, and hurriedly said: "The people from the Zunfu took the car and left in the evening, it turns out that Meng Lao, didn't you go with you?" ”
"I didn't leave."
There are already people upstairs who have greeted Li Banghua and others to the city tower, among this team, there is really more than one person wearing official robes and swords, and there are quite a few people who have official positions. At this time, they all came with swords and knives, and came with Li Banghua.
"I'm here to help Brother Kaimei."
On the top of the city, there are actually only three or four hundred people, half of whom are Beijing camp soldiers, more than half are Minzhuang recruited by Wang Jiayan, as well as the middle-aged nephews and domestic servants in his own family.
"Well, why bother?" Of course, Wang Jiayan wanted to complain a few words, but they were both well-read people, and they knew that persuasion was useless, so they immediately greeted him, and the two looked at the dark city together, and said in their hearts: "But I don't know when the crown prince will arrive, and whether the emperor will go or not?" ”
