The northwest wind rumbled against the ground, and the sky was full of snowflakes, making people feel like they were in the middle of an angry storm. The field was lonely, and there was no living creature in sight, as if it had died.

The war horses under the seat trembled, and seemed to be intimidated by the power of nature.

This midwinter scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is as fierce as the north.

The torch in his hand had already been blown out by the wind, but fortunately, dawn had come, and a faint morning light was projected from the eastern horizon, and the road under his feet had become clear.

After Sun Yuan got Lu Xiangsheng's order, he took more than a dozen of his men to ride war horses towards Lai'an in the afternoon of the next day.

It was only a few dozen miles from Chuzhou to An, but the wind and snow were too big, and the road was difficult to walk, so I walked for a day. On the third day, Sun Yuan got up early in the morning and walked for more than an hour before he dawned.

I estimated the time, and it should be six o'clock in the morning Beijing time in the future.

Trying his best to follow Zhu Ting's method of training the horse, so that the war horse held its head high, Sun Yuan had been tossed by this big beast who had been damaged by the peasant army.

Looking back at Zhu Ting beside her, the horse under her walked briskly and easily with small steps

。 Yesterday's dull and clumsy horse had been trained by her to be well-behaved and nimble.

Sun Yuan admired it in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "The girl's riding skills are really good, and I don't know how to practice them." I don't know you, I think you're a Mongolian Tatar who grew up on horseback! ”

Zhu Ting heard the lover's praise, and was proud in his heart: "What Mongolian Tatar, this girl is a serious descendant." According to Daddy, we're a side of the royal family. ”

Sun Yuan was taken aback: "Zhu Qianhu is the bloodline of the Heavenly Family?" ”

ZHU Ting; "Approximately, it's just that it's not entered on the jade. This girl has been in and out of the Jinyi Guard Yamen with her father since she was a child, and she has run back and forth in Liaodong and Mongolia for I don't know how much. In that place, there may not be a trace of people within a few hundred miles. If you don't get there, you won't know how big the world is. If you don't know how to ride a horse, what can you do? When it comes to riding, ordinary Mongolians may not be as good as this girl. As for Jianzhou Jiannu's ability to ride horses, I don't care about it. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Ting didn't save face for Sun Yuan: "Sun thief, looking at your and your men's ability to ride horses, there is no difference between you and a three-year-old doll." ”

"I don't know how to ride, so don't I ask the girl for advice?" Sun Yuan smiled bitterly: "Girl, I, you Lingzun is just a misunderstanding, you can't be called, how ugly is Sun Thief and Sun Thief." ”

"You are a thief yourself, what's wrong, you feel faceless in front of your subordinates?" Zhu Ting raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Yuan: "If you want to learn riding, okay, run first." ”

After that, he whipped Sun Yuan's war horse fiercely.

The war horse neighed angrily and rushed out with Sun Yuan in tow.

Sun Yuan was taken aback, hurriedly grabbed the reins, and shouted, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" ”

"Giggles." Zhu Ting smiled and rode up to catch up: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

"I'm not afraid."

Zhu Ting: "You have a problem with the posture of riding a horse. ”

Sun Yuan: "Please also ask." A mouth, snowflakes kept pouring into his mouth, making him cough.

Zhu Ting: "When you ride a horse, you can't sit rigidly on the saddle, and you can't press the weight of your body on your buttocks

。 You think, this cavalry goes out on an expedition, and it takes a day to run. At the end of the day, even if you have too much meat on your butt, it will wear out. You have to press your body against the stirrups, and your body is empty and suspended in the air, rising and falling with the bumps of the horse. The southerners ride boats, and the northerners ride horses, and the principle is the same. Yes, yes, that's it. ”

Sun Yuanyou asked: "By the way, the girl has been to Mongolia before, do you know what is going on with the Mongolian riding and archery kung fu?" You see this horse is bumped like this, it's not easy to get the right head. "It's rare to meet such a generous family as Zhu Ting, if Sun Yuan is willing to miss this opportunity, he can't help but ask for advice.

Zhu Ting glanced at Sun Yuan: "It's also simple, this person is on the horse together, if you want to accurately shoot the target, you have to wait until your body rises and falls to the highest or lowest to shoot." ”

Sun Yuan suddenly realized: "I see, thank you girl." ”

To tell the truth, in later generations, Sun Yuan also stayed in the equestrian club for a few days, and he was barely able to ride a horse and gallop without falling to the ground, and he also felt that this bit of riding skills was enough. But after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, I realized that this ability was nothing compared to the ancients.

Walking and chatting with Zhu Ting on this day, Sun Yuan felt that he had gained a lot, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that Miss Zhu is not a man." ”

"What did you say?" The wind was too strong, and Zhu Ting didn't hear it clearly.

"I said, why aren't you a man? Otherwise, with your ability, Sun Yuan should be desperate to leave you as my scout captain in my Ningxiang army. ”

"You can also keep me in the Ningxiang Army now!" Zhu Ting squinted at Sun Yuan.

"In what name should I keep you?" Sun Yuan was puzzled: "You are a woman, not an officer." After this battle, Zhu Qianhu and the girl want to go back to Nanjing, how can they stay in a small Ningxiang place? ”

Zhu Ting: "Even if I am not an officer, I can stay in Ningxiang and ...... forever ...... forever" said that, a heroic face turned red, and Sun Yuan's gaze became soft.

The snowflakes fell on her face, and she was melted by the girl's shyness.

Of course, this girl is a little older, and she is in her twenties.

Seeing Zhu Ting's gaze at him, Sun Yuan was the soul of an uncle, how could he not know her thoughts. I didn't feel embarrassed in my heart, and sighed secretly: It's strange that I was really impulsive the day before yesterday, but now it's troublesome.

However, when he thought of Zhu Ting's beautiful breasts and the beautiful lines of his lower abdominal muscles, Sun Yuan's heart was hot, and his breath was a little rougher

。

couldn't help but mutter, "If you don't go, that's good." ”

At this time, there were guards behind cheering: "It's here, it's here!" ”

It turned out that while talking, Sun Yuan and the others turned over a small hill, and suddenly there was an open space in front of them. Six miles ahead, there is a dark city, what is it if it is not the county seat of Lai'an?

The county towns of this era were small, even in the rich areas of the southeast.

It is only two streets, one vertical and one horizontal, and the scale of 20,000 or 30,000 residents cannot be compared with Shangxian counties such as Rugao, Songjiang, Wujiang and even Shangyuan.

However, the big camp outside the county still asked Sun Yuan and the others to take a breath of cold air.

"It's too big!"

But I saw thousands of yellow and white tents spread out under the city walls, directly connected to the distant horizon, endless and innumerable.

Bands of scout cavalry patrolled and galloped ahead, banners hunting, flying in the cold wind, red, yellow, and white, waving into a sea.

The field is magnificent, the wind is like iron, and it is the camp of the Ming army.

"Miss Zhu, I seem to have heard you say that you have been to many military towns with Zhu Qianhu before, in your opinion, how many troops are in this camp?" Sun Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Although he is now also an officer of a thousand households, he has thousands of men under his command, and has more insight and training methods than people of this era. But after all, the pattern is still small, and the military system of the Ming Dynasty is still a little confused.

Zhu Ting looked at it and replied, "There should be about 100,000 people." ”

"So many, and all of them are gathered in a small one!" Sun Yuan was taken aback.

In terms of real historical data, the so-called Armageddon in ancient China was hundreds of thousands of people, but this also had to include a large number of civilian men and auxiliary soldiers, and there were not many real front-line combat troops. What determines the outcome of the entire battle is the contest between the thousands of main elites on both sides.

Moreover, from the point of view of military common sense, it is not possible for a large army to gather more than 100,000 people together, but it is also possible to have a forward that opens the road in front, logistics and transportation troops, old battalions of the Chinese army, garrisons to support transportation lines, and general reserves, and it is also possible to pull out dozens of battalions on hundreds of miles

。

So many people are concentrated in Lai'an, it's no wonder that they don't mess around. Lu Xiangsheng is also a soldier who knows the soldiers, how could he make such a low-level mistake.

However, after thinking about it, Sun Yuan immediately understood. Chuzhou is a strategic point, and there is no room for mistakes, and it is estimated that Lu Xiangsheng was also anxious, so he ignored the whole army to help.

From this, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this battle. And I, Sun Yuan, defeated Liu Zongmin's forward battalion and knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, and the contribution was naturally great.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuan felt proud in his heart, and he couldn't wait to see the long-famous Lu Xiangsheng earlier and hear his praise for himself.

Zhu Ting had the intention to show off in front of Sun Yuan, slowing down his horse and pointing at the military camp in front of him with his horsewhip: "Over there is the flag of the Tianxiong Army of Inspector Lu, and over there is the Liaodong Army." By the way, you are the thousand households of Dahewei, and there is also the banner of your army over there, which is under the control of the Nanjing Military Department. ”

Sun Yuan frowned slightly: "The soldiers of the Great River Guard are also here?" "When you think about it, it's understandable. The peasant army brazenly invaded eastward during the Chinese New Year, and its edge approached Nanjing, the wealthy capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The shaking of Nanjing will inevitably order the entire troops of Nanzhili to come to the aid with all their might. Although the Dahe Guard System is in Huai'an, thousands of miles away. But the water transportation there is developed, and it takes only ten days to run down the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Besides, the main force of Dahewei had already been pulled out half a year ago and was under Lu Xiangsheng's control. This is also the main reason why no one has been involved in the case of Sun Yuantu Leitai for a long time. Everyone is busy fighting and can't win, who still has the heart to take care of this little thing?

As for Dahewei's relevant direct boss, Sun Yuan has been busy training in the Thousand Households for the past six months. On weekdays, whenever there is business, Guo Daodao is asked to write an official document, and he has never been there to walk around. The soldiers and commanders of Dahewei have been following Lu Xiangsheng to pursue and suppress the main force of the peasant army for half a year, and there is no one in the yamen at all.

Even if Sun Yuan wanted to go over to pull a relationship, he couldn't find anyone.

Therefore, until now, he is still blind to who is in the subordinate organs.

Hearing Zhu Ting say this, Sun Yuan became interested in meeting his superiors.
