Lai Damao's beheading immediately caused a sensation in the entire Yongan Army, and Lai Damao had to be personally received by the Lord of Integrity, and was asked by his relatives, and Lai Damao made a great achievement. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This made many Yong'an Army recruits excited, and at the same time, they were also bored with a lot of training, in order to stand out in the upcoming battle, and to be a good fighter, to add glory to their ancestors, and to grow a long face for their families.

Knowing that the rogue was so can't help fighting, many recruits were a little nervous, wouldn't this be a good opportunity to make great contributions, and then there was a spirit of courage in the army, and the previous day was a lot heavier.

The shouting and killing in the barracks continued day and night, everyone practiced diligently, and many soldiers were shouting trumpets while they were sleeping.

The night of the outgoing sentry was greatly encouraged by the achievements of Lai Damao and several people, and they were more diligent in sentry, and since that day, some have come out of the barracks from time to time.

The night non-collection sergeants roared past under the gate of Nanjing Xian, and they galloped out with a trumpet in their mouths, and slapped the horse's body with a whip in their hands.

Every time he returns, there are several levels of gains, and Xiao Yi does not hesitate to reward him at all, and the information obtained by not receiving it at night continues to gather into Xiao Yi's hands, allowing him to always grasp the news of the movements of the various departments of the Liukou.

……

On August 21 of the third year of Chongzhen, fifty miles south of Ulzhou City and thirty miles west of Gubeikou.

Here people shouted and neighed, and there was a crowd of people in the black pressure, and as far as the eye could see, there were all the men and horses of the peasant army, who carried the banner of the word 'king', and passed by from the plains in a chaotic manner.

Not far from the peasant army, there were a few people lying quietly, they were the sergeants of the second team and the fourth general who did not collect at night, and one of them was full of solemnity in his eyes, and he said: "It seems that this is where the army of kings and thieves is!" We should return to Yuzhou City as soon as possible, so that our brothers can prepare to defend the city!" ”

The other four Ye Bu nodded, did not say anything superfluous, slowly took a few steps back, trotted to a few big trees, immediately turned over and got on their horses, in order not to attract the attention of the Liukou, they deliberately circled, and then galloped back to Ulzhou City.

Most of the rogues are ragged thieves, and some of them are those bandits and horse gangs who have come from all over the place, and they have been robbing the road for many years, and they have already obtained a handy armor and weapon, and they are more or less wearing tattered leather armor, which can be regarded as an armored soldier.

In addition, it is the old battalion in the peasant army, and it is not an exaggeration to describe these old battalions of the royal army as having been in battle for a long time, and they also have a few rods in their hands, and they follow the prince to fight in Shanxi, and the light that flashes in their eyes from time to time also makes them look very difficult to mess with.

These people are rare in the peasant army, with complete armor, complete swords and guns, and all of them are white clothes and armor, and their momentum is not weak at a glance.

At this time, a small leader of the old battalion suddenly came, and he said a few words to Wang Zishun, who looked a little surprised when he heard this, and then became a little angry.

Dong Kui beside him, who was one of the few survivors of the battle of Yang Wuyu, listened to the news and muttered: "It seems that there is no doubt that they are officers and soldiers, except for the sentry of the Yong'an army, no one dares to think about the soldiers and horses of the Hengtian King." ”

Wang Zishun clenched his fists, this is the fifth time in the past few days, those homeless people are cannon fodder, and it is not a pity to die, but the disappearance of several old battalion soldiers makes Wang Zishun quite angry.

He knew that the old battalion soldiers were all he had, and even in wartime, he would not let the old battalion take the lead, and often waited until the battlefield was settled before sending the old battalion out to pick up the bargain.

No matter how many homeless people died, as long as the old camp did not move, he would be unharmed, and if he hit a random place, there would be hundreds or thousands of homeless people.

He said in a deep voice: "Gather the displaced people, tomorrow I will see the walls of Ulzhou City, I want to see with my own eyes, what is this Xiao Yi like!" ”

At the same time, the right acropolis of Datong. In the garrison hall, Zhao Ming looked at the official document that had just been passed on and frowned.

He sighed lightly, and the commander on his side, Qian Geng, followed closely and said: "This is Xiao Yi's own sin, I have to provoke that prince Shun, this is good, I was beaten to the state city." ”

Bai Chongan squinted at Qian Geng and said, "Why did Lord Tongzhi say this, could it be that Xiao Yi did something wrong to win the thief?" ”

He arched his hand towards the north and said proudly: "This time, the emperor ordered him to be a discipline, is Lord Qian jealous?" ”

Qian Geng didn't speak, and the commander behind him, Dong Jixiang, said predictively: "Have Lord Bai's own affairs been dealt with?" How can you still remember the state city? ”

The garrison Zhao Ming was also confused, and sighed: "I just hope that Xiao Yi can resist, General Han is mobilizing troops and horses to prepare to come to meet him, and it is estimated that Xiao Yi can defend for half a month." ”

Half a month, it's not that Han Shimengyang doesn't want to come here, but the reason why the soldiers and horses of Daming are at this time, even if thousands of people gather every day, they have to put a few sticks of incense, and Han Shimeng is the chief military officer of Datong.

If he wants to lead the army to the battle, he can't directly lead the troops if he wants to go, he first needs to fly to the imperial court, and the military department has withered down, so that he can issue an official document to let the garrisons and guerrillas from all over the country bring the army to the town.

After integration and waiting, when it is ready to go, it will be at least half a month and a few months, and by that time it is estimated that Ulju City has been broken.

Qian Geng sneered: "Half a moon? Tens of thousands of Liukou are attacking the city, and if you can defend it for three days, I will write the three words of Qian Geng upside down! ”

Although Bai Chong'an is also very bottomless in his heart, he has also heard about this prince's erosion of Taiyuan Mansion, so many officers and soldiers in Datong Mansion have nothing to do with him, this Xiao is only a few hundred people, even if he recruits thousands of brave men to help defend the city, it is very difficult to defend it, after all, the advantages and disadvantages are too obvious.

But he still looked at Qian Geng and said lightly: "Lord Qian, don't say it so desperately, otherwise..."

Qian Geng sneered and asked, "Otherwise?" He couldn't hold it! ”

There was another sigh in the hall, which naturally lacked cynicism.

……

On the afternoon of August 21 in the third year of Chongzhen, the five horsemen galloped in from under the Nanjing Immortal Gate at night, and the first person was wearing the iron armor of the Yongan Army, and several people rushed to the Integrity Mansion at the end of North Street.

Xiao Yi looked at the half-kneeling armor chief in front of him, this armor commander found out half an hour ago that Wang Zishun's army appeared in the plains fifty miles away, and it was initially estimated that Wang Zishun had no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

With such a large number of people, it is still a scattered rogue, and it is impossible to reach the state city in half a day without a day.

Xiao also immediately recalled all the outgoing sentinels who were not collected at night, and took the generals out of the Conduct Mansion and into the barracks.

Then the barracks, which was still practicing, immediately stopped practicing, and a group of men and horses trotted out of the barracks, and they divided into three roads after leaving the barracks.

These people are holding in their hands, and they are wearing the Ming Dynasty in the library, and these people are the co-defenders recruited by Xiao Yi, and they are under the leadership of Li Erniu, Yuan Shaogong, and Zhou Ding, and they went straight to the three gates of the south and east after leaving the barracks.

Immediately after the sound of steps in the barracks, the soldiers of the Yongan Army walked out of the barracks wearing iron armor, and they passed through the streets in various teams, heading straight for the three city gates.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not have a trace of panic, they actually landed in an orderly manner, and then felt the solemn aura coming from their bodies, which made the people feel a lot more at ease.

At the same time, from time to time there were sergeants running along the street who did not collect the sentry team at night, they were riding on horses, holding the document that Xiao Yi had just written, and he shouted: "By the order of the Lord of Integrity, the officers and soldiers will enter the city, the whole city will be under martial law, no one will be left in the streets and alleys, and the violators will be taken into custody and there will be no leniency!" ”

"Officers and soldiers go to the city, and the people sit at home to watch us resist the thieves, and don't go out of the house to cause unrelated casualties!"

The people on the street also saw the heavily armed officers and soldiers passing by, and they also hurriedly packed up the stalls and clothes outside, helped their children and old people back to their homes, closed the doors and windows, and looked nervously outside.

There were fewer and fewer noisy people outside, and shops, restaurants, and inns closed their doors one after another, replaced by groups of officers and soldiers in armor, their eyes were calm and terrifying.

The sound of pedaling and pedaling passed, and all that sounded in my ears was the sound of ironclad leaves.

In a private house, a woman was doing laundry, and beside her, two small children, a man and a woman, were playing, when suddenly a man broke in.

When the two children saw it, they rushed up and hugged the man, constantly calling for their father.

The woman wiped her hands and stood up to greet her, and asked, "What's the matter, why did you come back so early today?" ”

The man hurriedly pushed the wheelbarrow outside into the courtyard, closed the door tightly, and then pulled the woman and the two children into the inner room, and then closed the wooden door of the inner room tightly, and finally kept lying on the crack in the door to watch.

The two children were a little scared at this time, snuggling up to the woman's side, and the woman asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" ”

She suddenly remembered something: "Could it be that the thief is calling?" ”

At this time, the man nodded, and the woman also sighed, sat on the kang dejectedly, and said: "How is this good, why is it that the thieves killed this day are endless, why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life." ”

The man sat up and hugged the woman and the two children, and he comforted: "It's okay, there are the integrity adults and the heroes of the Yong'an Army to guard it, it will be fine, and when this is over, I will join the army, and I can protect you and the children." ”

The woman also snuggled up to the man's chest and said softly: "Well, with Master Ethics and the Yong'an Army, it will be fine." ”

They were comforting each other, when there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside, and the man got up sharply and said in surprise: "It's the heroes who don't harvest at night!" ”

The woman also got up, and leaned down in front of the window to look out expectantly, only to hear the fearless cheers coming into the house from outside.

"Lord Ethics has led the army to the city, don't be afraid, there is a Yong'an army to guard the state city, as long as there is one of us left, we must also swear to protect the peace of the people, watch us kill the thief!" (To be continued.) )
