Chapter 48: Rangers
"This knife that the master called the war bureau to fight is really easy to use!"
Running more than ten miles away from Juyong Pass, Wei Yue, Li Gong, and Wang Yuan passed the order, and all the knights restrained and stepped off their horses, and stopped for the time being.
It was easy to kill, hearty, and everyone still couldn't hide the smile on their faces at this time.
Wang Yuan shouted: "Ren Shang of the dog, I see that he will shoot at least a dozen people!" ”
"A is a strong armor, a bow is a good bow, you are still by my side, so you can't shoot a dozen or so, I'm embarrassed to boast about divine shooting?"
Ren Shang is usually simple and silent, but today he is easy to kill, but he has the feeling of a treasure knife out of the sheath, and even the words are sharp.
Li Gong said with a smile: "You have to count Wei Da, the knife is on the vital point!" ”
"Don't talk about me," Wei Yue smiled slightly, put the long knife into the sheath, and said: "Close combat, this knife is very easy and powerful." ”
To say that Zhu Cihong has taken out the last bit of the family foundation of the Ming Center!
What kind of bezoar dog treasure, you have to take it out for the master!
The chain mail worn by everyone is interlocking, and there are even gold and silver threads inlaid in many places...... This is still the heavy armor made during the Zhengde period, thirty pounds weighing a pair, all iron rings and a small amount of cow tendon connected, worn on the body, unless it is an iron spear lance poke, otherwise, the bow and arrow are difficult to hurt, that is, with a knife to chop, most of the sparks are brought out, want to break the armor, how much strength is also in vain.
The long knife in his hand is long and narrow, and the blade is light and thin, but it is a first-class good steel fire, very sharp, and it is getting thicker and thicker to the hilt, and when chopping, it is particularly powerful.
Not only that, in addition to the handle, there is a layer of gauntlets, which can be used with a wave and have an extra layer of protection.
While praising the treasure knife in his hand, Wang Yuan also shook his head and said: "It's this three-eyed gun, it's useless!" ”
Li Gong nodded and said: "Far away, it is not enough, close is scattered, the charging of propellants is limited, and the range and power are of course small." Even if it is three shots together, it will not hurt anyone. As for melee thrashing, how can this knife be sharp? ”
What they are talking about is that Zhu Cihong each issued a three-eyed firearm, the prince said that this thing can suppress the enemy's bow and arrow, before the melee first use firearms to strike remotely, and then can easily smash people, it is a very sharp weapon.
Everyone just heard that Guan Ning had been used in the military, but they tried it at the right time, except for the black ash that was smoked, it was really useless.
In fact, this three-eyed gun was indeed misled by Zhu Cihong's records of later generations, and the so-called three-eyed round hair was sent in turn, and then waved up...... If you look closely, you will know that it was nonsense from the people at that time, and it was completely nonsense.
In the Ming Dynasty, the government and the opposition attached great importance to the experimental development of firearms, so there were many names for firearms, and many people boasted about their designs, and the three-eyed firearm should be one of them.
Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but smile.
The young master's interest in firearms is really not small, in addition to this high-grade war horse, first-class chain mail, and the saber in his hand, he is tirelessly testing all kinds of firearms.
The three-eyed gun is obviously not good, and he has also tried the method of firing firearms such as three-stage strikes before, and later Ren Shang found the illustrations and words on the "Fire Dragon Sutra" to Zhu Cihong to see, and the prince only understood at that time, it turned out that the three-stage strike method was not only already available in the Ming Dynasty, but even the illustrations in the military book were clearly drawn.
At that time, the frustration was not small, and when I thought about it, everyone's faces were smiling.
But in any case, the master has always been hands-on with weapons and battle arrays, and he doesn't say anything, so this self-imposed oolong is not big, and the inner cavalry that Zhu Cihong worked hard to build is still considered a strong soldier, and the hundreds of people in front of him who were put by Zhu Cihong in Juyong Pass are of course not outcasts, on the contrary, they are real Fuzi, not only useful, but also useful.
Everyone laughed, and Wei Yue said: "Okay, the front is a rebellion, and the back is estimated that Tang Tong was so provoked by the madman Wang, he has to chase after him." You can't afford to delay any longer...... Just part ways here! ”
Li Gong nodded and said, "That's right, it's here." ”
Wang Xiao, who had been silent, also stood up and changed his fists: "Cherish each other, see you soon!" ”
The prince's inner leg has been plundered by nearly 20 people, and the strict queue training has been smashed, and more than 10 people have been smashed, as for physical fitness, equestrianism, and fighting, these are also a lot of people who can be shabu, and now, it is divided into three bureaus, and Wei Yue, Li Gong, and Wang Xiao are set up to control one hundred and twelve people in each bureau, and Ren Shang and Wang Yuan are the deputies of these three bureaus.
Of course, the current military system is vague, and it is also related to the fact that there is no suitable name for the East Palace, and this matter can only be resolved after moving south.
According to the prior arrangement, Wei Yue led more than 100 horsemen of the Bureau, that is, the vast majority of the manpower here, in the few days from Juyong Pass to Jingshi, intercepted and killed the messengers who sneaked to Jingshi, blocked the probe horses that broke into the camp, and even ambushed and attacked.
After all, they are strong and strong, and there are still a few places to raise horses on the way, so they are not afraid of a lack of war horses, and they can always maintain a high-speed, flexible and mobile way of fighting.
Even so, the danger of the fierce soldiers is that they are doing this kind of work of the top sentry soldiers who have suffered great losses, and the risks involved are so great that there is no need to say more.
The rest of the men, all officers, will return to Beijing as soon as possible, take control of the officers and men of the two bureaus remaining in Beijing, and make final preparations for the imminent crisis and response.
Everyone's family members have already been sent out, some by sea boat, some by Cao Canal to the south, there are officers and soldiers along the way, there are also guards in the name of the dart bureau arranged by the prince, and when they arrive in Nanjing, there is also Qiu Zhizhong, the eunuch who has long been sent to Nanjing to fight the front station, plus Wang Duo, Wu Weiye and other Dongguan officials to take care of, the master has silver, and the house has been purchased properly, so he does not have to worry about having no place to settle down.
Everyone has a good way to go back, and they have been practicing hard every day for the past few months, so when the big event is coming, there is no feeling of panic at all.
Wang Yuan was very reluctant, he really wanted to be Wei Yue's deputy and fight outside. However, Wei Yue insisted that everyone return to the prince, because he was outside and the prince was inside, and if it was dangerous, the prince needed everyone's protection even more.
This argument is very reasonable, so at this time, the short and stout man could only stand up straight, hugged Wei Yue with a heavy fist, and only said: "Wei Da, take care!" ”
"What do you do like this sissy!" Wei Yue's horsewhip whipped in the air and shouted: "The little master is missing a hair, and you are all guilty of a great sin!" ”
This grown man, at this time, the most worried in his heart is not his own safety, when he came out of Songshan, even if he picked up a life, how many brothers died on the way to the battle, and it has been earned to live until now...... It's the crown prince, whether it's an official or a soldier in the East Palace now, who doesn't know that this young master Yunwen Yunwu, if there is any hope for the next day, it will completely fall on this young master?
Although these words cannot be pronounced, they cannot stop everyone from thinking so! As soon as Wei Yue said, although Wang Yuan's eyes were red, he didn't hesitate at all, just turned over and got on the horse, and said in a low voice: "The master lost a hair, and I Wang Yuan must have lost his head first...... That's it, Wei Da, let's meet again outside the Chaoyang Gate! ”
The terrain of each gate of the Beijing division is advantageous, and everyone has already surveyed it clearly.
Even on the road from Beijing to Tianjin, everyone has been running back and forth many times. It is clear where the roads are easy to walk, where to set up ambushes, and where there are supply points.
How can you be careless in a deadly deed?
The road conditions outside Chaoyang Gate are the best, and there are also some palaces that are a little farther away that can store supplies such as grain, grass, horses, medicinal materials, etc., this is a road that has been determined for a long time, and at the moment Wei Yue only nodded and said, "See you outside Chaoyang Gate." ”
As he spoke, everyone knew that they could not delay any longer, so they got on their horses one after another, and only arched their hands on the horses, that is, they each waved their whips, or clamped the belly of the horses, and more than a hundred war horses neighed and shouted, and the sound of hooves sounded like muffled thunder, and after a while, they were divided into two teams and dispersed.
Wang Yuan and the others looked back, but saw that Wei Yue was galloping in the direction where the intruding army came with a round of one hundred and twelve horsemen...... Everyone knew in their hearts that when the army set off, there would definitely be elite sentries in the front team, and Wei Yue was going to make trouble for the enemy, not to teach the army to move so smoothly and conveniently.
"Let's go!" Li Gong listened attentively for a while, his face also changed, and he said: "It seems that Tang Tong led the team to chase after him, let's not fold in the hands of this kind of villain, it's really not worth it!" ”
In the sound of everyone's answer, they turned their horses one after another, but they were in the opposite direction to Wei Yue and the others, and the horses were galloping like the wind, but they only galloped away in the direction of the Jingshi Yimen.
……
……
Although Feng Kaizhang was in the Beijing camp under the pretense of his name, and he was also awarded the official position of the crown and the general flag, he was a person after all, and his responsibilities outside were greater and heavier, so in the past three months, except for a few times when Zhu Cihong was out of the palace, the rest of the time, Feng Kaizhang was only ordered to do things outside, and there was no time to enter the palace to meet him.
Now it is different, since Wuning and Datong were either conquered by Li Zicheng, or surrendered, Yanjing City has been shocked overnight, and a white lantern has been hung on the city of Zhengyangmen, which is a symbol that Gyeonggi has a police and a signal that martial law has begun in the city.
The first few times the Dongyu entered the country, there were at most two white lights hung on the Zhengyang Gate, that is, the soldiers had arrived under the Jingshi City, but at that time, the people of the Jingshi were relieved, because there were guards inside, and there was also a steady stream of reinforcements outside the city wall...... And now at this time, when Feng Kaizhang entered the palace, he only saw a picture of decay and dilapidation, there was a dead air everywhere, not only were there few pedestrians on the street, but after entering the imperial city, even officials and officials in a hurry could not see a few!
Everyone is evading, dodging, and waiting for "big things to happen", but people who are solid for the country and bent on reversing the overall situation are really none in ten.
He only sighed in his heart, but he did not have the slightest regret or fear.
Now that you have chosen this path, it is better to go back to Tianjin with nothing. Moreover, in the eyes of him and some well-intentioned people, Li Zicheng is extremely difficult to achieve great things, although he seems to be the lord of the new dynasty, but the surname of the rogues has not gone at all, and it is impossible to win the world.
In this way, it can only be cheapened to be eyeing the East Prisoner outside the Guan.
Northern scholars, like southerners, only stare at Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong!
At this moment, he really has all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and it is difficult to calm down. Although he had been waiting for such a day for the past few months, when he thought that the enemy's soldiers were a few days away, Rao is son of this family had always been invisible, but at this time he still looked worried.
