On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Mangita City.

Lao Fei is a Jurchen, he is a Jurchen Guerjia clan, speaking of which, he is the same family as the Guerjia clan Santo who now occupies the ground of Kemu Mountain. But just as Emperor Zhu in the Han Dynasty has nothing to do with a common person surnamed Zhu at all, Lao Peng has nothing to do with Guerjia Santo.

He is a mature girl, and their tribe accepted the canonization of the imperial court in the Yongle years, and became a guard of the Nuer Gandu Division, and the arch guard was on the side of the Heilongjiang River.

Later, Emperor Zhengde ordered the development of the Northeast, and their entire tribe came out of the mountains and forests to the plains, changed the fishing and hunting in the past, and began to cultivate land.

Over the decades, the tribe had disappeared and become a Jurchen peasant family, and Lao Peng also became a soldier and became a personal soldier under General Asujiang from the second deputy general Hong Chaojiao.

After a few years of being a personal soldier for Hong Chaojiao, he was released as a hundred households, and later the Hong Chaojia army was defeated in the north of the Songhua River, led the army to escape, occupied Mangjita City, and became a local overlord, and he followed.

After coming to Mangita City, the old man was promoted to an official and became the city gate official at the west gate of Mangita City.

He is a Jurchen, he does not have as many eyes as Han people, and he is very strict with his subordinates. Besides, General Hong is strict in governing the army, and often comes down and walks around in person, and when he sees anyone who violates the law and discipline, he will severely punish him, so the military discipline of their rebel army is relatively good.

The soldiers of the two hundred households guarding the west gate were all carrying big guns, and their helmets and armor were poked there, and their military appearance was very neat.

Below the city gate, there were nearby peasants lining up to enter the city, and the soldiers checked and collected taxes, but there was no wanton massacre.

This year, there have been several military disasters on the south bank of the Songhua River, and many people have died, and those who have not died, and their family property has been robbed almost ... I hope that I will have a good New Year, and I will be able to live and work in peace and contentment next year, so I don't have to call back and forth.

So in the past two days, the surrounding people have picked up the things that are slightly valuable at home, taken them to the city and sold them, cut half a catty of pork, and pulled two feet of flower cloth back.

Standing on the castle tower, Lao Fei sighed and sighed at the people with sad faces one by one, and sighed in his heart. He was a native of Kanwai and naturally knew the situation. A few years ago, the common people were very wealthy, well-off, and good at management, with a full hoard of grain, pigs and sheep, and they ate with oil during the New Year. Even if you have an average family background, you can support it by eating two bites and making a few new clothes during the Chinese New Year.

There are a lot of people who came to set up a market today, but the old spray didn't think much about it, it's thirty, and there are always some people who are in a hurry when they are at the end of the year.

At this moment, in the distance, the old spray saw a long snake-like procession walking towards this direction.

It was a troop of cavalry, which looked like there were at least three or five hundred men. The cavalry in front of them was flying a big banner, and it was blown by the strong wind, and they didn't know what was written on it.

And behind the cavalry, there were dozens of carts, which were piled high with things, and I don't know what they were.

The snow on this stretch of road had been trampled by the people who came and went, so the cavalry advanced quickly, and hundreds of cavalry galloped in, and the people on the side of the road avoided one after another.

The old spray said loudly: "Close the city gate, close the city gate!" ”

He was very cautious, General Hong had said before that although it was unlikely that the imperial army in the north would go south, it was impossible to guard against it, so when he saw a cavalry approaching, his first reaction was to close the city gate.

The soldiers under the city immediately carried out the order, drove the people at the city gates, and then began to close the city gates, which had not been oiled for a long time, and made a squeaking and squeaking sound. …,

The cavalry didn't seem to see the reaction of the city, and still kept the original speed close, and the old man in the city felt a little at ease.

Getting closer, he could already see the words on the banner that had been swept up by the wind, and it was what it was.

Lao Peng's heart is more stable, he has seen this big flag, some time ago, Lord He of Qilen Niwei sent someone to visit the general, and the big flag is the same as this one.

But he did not let his guard down, but said loudly: "Everyone has it, open the bow and arrows, if there is something wrong, as soon as you hear the order, immediately release the arrows!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The cavalry team stopped at a distance of about twenty meters from the city, the team separated, and a yellow horse in the middle rushed out, and a square-faced man came to the city with a horse, and shouted with his face up: "Which brother is at the head of the city?" Below is Zhang 13, a thousand households under the command of Lord Qileni Wei He, who came to visit General Hong on the order of the Lord, and please open the city gate! ”

The old man looked at this person carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he felt that this person seemed to be a little familiar, and the last time Qileniwei sent someone, it seemed that he was there.

"Are you Zhang Qianhu?" He was skeptical.

"Yes! In the next exactly. ”

Pretending to be an envoy of the Qileni Guard, deceiving the gate of Mangita City, and being the vanguard for the army, this is the task given to him by Lian Zining.

"You've been to Mangita City once, this is our biggest advantage, you lead the team, they will definitely not be suspicious. The soldiers in the back, who can remember what they look like? As long as you successfully complete this task, your previous sins will not be blamed on the official, and the official will always have some face in the court, and it is nothing to intercede for a general. From now on, you are Wu Yijun's thousand households, and this thousand households are different from the previous ones! ”

"Of course, you can also choose to fight against the water, anyway, Mangita City is already in the pocket of my Wu Yi Army, without you, it is just a little more effort. But when the time comes, if you are caught by this official again, it will not be so easy to speak. ”

Zhang Shisan's mind clearly appeared Lian Zining's faint smiling face, as well as the words that were said lightly.

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Zhang Shisan has no intention of rebelling, he doesn't know if he doesn't fight with Wu Yijun, and only after seeing the battle on the battlefield can he know what the real elite is.

His heart was pounding, but Zhang Shisan's face was silent, and he said: "This brother above, you are a personal soldier next to General Hong, and it seems that we have met when you came last time!" ”

Hearing this, Lao Peng's suspicions in his heart went even further, and he arched his hand and said: "This brother, it's not that I can't believe you, but I really have a strict order from above, you must be strictly guarded, and you must be cautious below." Offended. ”

Zhang Shisan smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll wake up." ”

The old spray pointed to the carriageways behind the cavalry: "What's on this?" ”

"There's some grain and grass on here." Zhang 13 said: "The last time I came, General Hong said that there was a shortage of grain and grass in Mangjita City, hehe, this is not my family, Lord He ordered to bring some over, and by the way, I also wanted to exchange some armor and weapons from Mangjita City." Let's beggar Niwei, this aspect is very short. ”

Lao Fei just asked casually, and he couldn't imagine that Wu Yijun had already knocked down Qileniwei silently, and also subdued Zhang Shisan.

"Brother, hang your official seal letter for us to check it." The old spray said again.

"You!" Anger flashed on Zhang Shisan's face, and he sneered: "Brother, don't go too far in everything!" What do you mean? Make it clear that you can't trust us? ”

Seeing Zhang Shisan's angry but unable expression, the doubts in his heart were gone, and he smiled and said, "I offended Zhang Qianhu, now my brother believes it, come on!" Open the gates! ”…,

When Zhang Shisan and Lao were spraying ink, on the hillside in the distance, a pair of eyes were also staring through the telescope.

Mangita City is located on the west bank of the Azov River, north and south are the Mangmang Mountains, beyond the mountains, the north is Xishenwei, and the south is the ground of the Kemu Mountain.

At this time, this mountain forest was full of people, there were thousands of people hiding in the middle, and among them, there was a Franc cannon mounted on a small car.

A team of about 2,000 men had hundreds of Franc cannons.

Thousands of people gathered together, but there was not the slightest noise, only the sound of breathing.

Even the squeak of pine branches crushed by the snow can be heard clearly.

Lian Zining hid behind a big pine tree that was thick enough to hug, held a thousand miles tube and looked at it carefully, after looking at it for a while, he put down the thousand miles tube and smiled at Shi Dazhu: "This Zhang Thirteen, he really didn't mistake him, he can fight and act, this guy is a talent." ”

Shi Dazhu said with a smile: "That's the adult's wisdom is true, if it is changed to the standard, he will be killed early!" ”

"You guys!" Lian Zining shook his head, he had already foreseen that Zhang Shisan would definitely not get along with Shi Dazhu and the others, but this was also something he was happy to see.

"Everyone's in place?" Lian Zining asked.

"The first guard of the Bear Command is a mile east of us, and as soon as it is launched from that side, they can attack immediately. The second guard of the Chen command is hidden five miles to the north, and the cavalry has been transferred to them, and as soon as the city of Mangita moves, the Yaoqi station in the north will definitely need reinforcements, and that is the time for them to launch! ”

"Hmm!" Lian Zining nodded: "This Hong Dynasty is really not greedy enough, it is not enough to occupy a Mangjita City, I have to occupy the medicine beggar station again, but the eight thousand people are divided into two places, just so that we can break each one." ”

"That's it! It's time to enter the city! Lian Zining's eyes were attached to the Qianli tube, and he waved his hand: "All the Franc cannons, check the position!" Fifty zhang behind the city wall, free proofreading! ”

As he spoke, the gate of Mangita City over there had slowly opened.

Zhang Shisanyi lifted the reins of the horse and entered the city first, and the more than 300 dragoons in disguise behind him also slowly entered the city, they were all the elite of Lian Zining's subordinates, experienced in a hundred battles, and they were able to maintain their composure in such a tense situation.

Most of the cavalry had already entered, and the old spray suddenly said: "The cavalry has entered the city, and the cart has stopped to check!" ”

At this time, a cold light flashed in the eyes of Zhang Shisan, who had already entered the city, and he glanced at Xu Nanjin, who was his guard behind him. Kill! ”
