Chapter 279: Drill and Ambush (I)
"Your Excellency. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Erniu was having breakfast with his wife and daughter in the mansion, and not long after eating, a spearman from the Yong'an Army came to him, saying that the garrison had an invitation.
Li Erniu was trusted by Xiao Yi, which not only made him cherish this trust very much, but also made his family feel honored.
His wife Liu attached more importance to this matter than Li Erniu, and even if he urged Li Erniu to go quickly, Li Erniu naturally did not dare to slack off, put down the dishes and chopsticks and followed the sergeant.
Xiao Yi nodded, gestured with his hand to the chair next to him, and said, "This official knows that today is the Spring Festival, and it will be inconvenient for you to come, but this matter must not be delayed." ”
Li Erniu pondered in his heart, what important things did Xiao also want to give himself to do?
At that moment, he hugged his fists and said: "If the lord has something to order, the official will handle it properly." ”
Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's a festive season, naturally I can't be dull, I am determined to carry out a drill in the state city, this time the Yongan Army only drills in the battalion, and the drill is completed by the Zhenwei battalion alone." ”
Li Erniu was surprised when he heard this, the drill was only completed by the Zhenwei Battalion? Could it be that Xiao Yi wants to see the results of the Zhenwei Camp's training all along?
The sergeants of the Zhenwei battalion have always had a kind of fear and reverence for the soldiers of the Yong'an Army, and perhaps this drill can also improve them a lot.
Thinking of this, Li Erniu said happily: "The soldiers of the Zhenwei Battalion on behalf of the lower officials have thanked the adults for their trust, and they will definitely run the drill smoothly and let the people of the whole city know about our officers and soldiers!" ”
Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Then you go and prepare, let out the word, and let the people know the good news." ”
"Hey!" Li Erniu nodded and left happily.
……
The news soon reached the ears of the people, and this Spring Festival was already the most stable and happiest for most people in many years, and the officers and men had to hold a drill after the Spring Festival.
This is a good opportunity to watch the heroic posture of the officers and soldiers, although it is only the Zhenwei Battalion, but on the surface, the Zhenwei Battalion also belongs to the branch of the Yong'an Army, which is regarded as the Yong'an Army, and for a time it has become the talk of many people after dinner.
Late at night on February 12 in the fourth year of Chongzhen, this day is the Spring Festival, every house is full of lights, gongs and drums everywhere are noisy, although it is late at night, but the street is still very lively.
The family is eating a safe and comfortable reunion dinner, and the bare-bottomed children on the street outside are running around, laughing and laughing everywhere, although it is the Spring Festival, but this situation is still rare in Daming at this time.
At the same time, the stone gate dozens of miles away from the state city.
There was silence, the surface of the mandarin duck water glittered in the moonlight, and a wooden bridge lay quietly on the stream, which formed a sharp contrast with the lively scene of Ulju City at the moment.
The people are celebrating the festival in peace and reunion at home, but not everyone is like this, and the three general officers and men of the Yong'an Army were called back to the team a few days ago, secretly opened from the barracks, and placed in batches in this vicinity according to the plan agreed in advance.
These days, due to the Spring Festival and the drill, everyone has not noticed this, and they are talking about the upcoming drill at the same time as the festival.
If you don't look closely, you probably won't be able to find the murderous opportunities hidden in this tranquility, and the bushes on both sides of the wooden bridge are quiet and peaceful.
After a long time, listen carefully, you can hear the faint sound of the intersection of iron armor leaves, look inside, hundreds of people are lying here quietly, the person in front of him has a thick shield in his left hand, a waist knife in his right hand, and the rest of the people are all in the hands of a stainless steel tiger gun, which is actually everyone's iron armor.
These people are the soldiers and horses of the Yong'an Army, which were originally led by Shi Gang, but Shi Gang was left in the city by Xiao Yi to hide people's eyes, and Wang Dashan temporarily became the general commander.
In the darkness, a knife player muttered, "I don't know what the adults want us to do here, but tonight is the night of reunion, but I am still outside and can't return home." ”
Wang Dashan naturally knew the reason for the matter, but Shi Gang sternly instructed that he couldn't tell anyone about this, and when he heard the knife player muttering, Wang Dashan shouted in a low voice: "Liangzi, when did your kid become such a mother-in-law, we have lost all your face, let the other two brothers know what to think!" ”
The sword player known as Liangzi is a captain, and when he heard Zhao Dahe's words, he smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't be angry, I'm just complaining." ”
The rest of the sergeants also laughed in a low voice, everyone trusted Xiao Yi very much, although they didn't know what they were doing this time, but everyone vaguely knew that there was going to be a battle.
In fact, every soldier of the Yong'an Army has been practicing all day long, and there is already a fierce energy in his heart, which is also the opportunity for combat meritorious service that they have been longing for.
While talking and laughing, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of him, Wang Dashan's eyes were screened, and he roared: "Don't move, they're coming." ”
Hearing this, Ryoko and the others immediately put away their smiles, it seemed that the person who was waiting had arrived, clenched the tiger gun and knife in his hand, and looked ahead.
In the darkness, there was no dust to be seen as horses stepped on the ground, only the rumbling sound of horses' hooves could be heard from far and near, and the sound made the earth tremble, and the soldiers were still just looking at the figures that appeared faintly in front of them.
"Drink!"
"Yo roar, drive~"
As the birds continued to shout, a black line appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and only in the darkness could be seen, these people wore long felt hats, all of them were horses, and there were black shadows holding scimitars tightly in their hands.
At this time, Wang Dashan said excitedly: "Mongolian Tartars, they have really arrived, my lord is really a god." ”
Liangzi's face was full of shock, even if Wang Dashan didn't say it at this time, he found out that it was actually a Mongolian Tartar! Today's ambush is actually the Mongols?!
The rest of the warriors were similar, the Mongol cavalry, which caused a storm in the hearts of all of them, although there were horse teams in the past, but these horse thieves could not be called real cavalry.
In contrast, the fighting power of the Mongols growing on horseback is not much stronger than that of the old camp horse team of the thieves, and the official army of Datong Town at this time, not to mention the field war, even the defense of the city can rarely resist the light cavalry of the Mongols.
If the Yong'an Army is first established, I am afraid that at this time, it will immediately show its feet, and some people may run for their lives, in contrast, the advantage of a hundred battles division will be revealed.
Most of the Yong'an army are veterans who have survived several bloody battles, including veterans who have survived a hundred battles, and even dozens of old people who fought with Xiao Yi in Liaodong.
These veterans are like a needle in the army, even if they are fighting against the 'Western Prisoners', they still look as usual, without the slightest cowardice.
When they arrived at the wooden bridge, the Mongols suddenly stopped, which made Wang Dashan's heart tighten, could it be that they had discovered themselves?
"Shao Khan, this wooden bridge is very narrow, and it can only pass less than ten warriors at a time, I think it is better to detour to Guangling, and at most it will be reached tomorrow." Kozab pointed at the wooden bridge with the scimitar in his hand, his expression hesitant.
A Mongolian commander said: "Kozab is afraid of those weak Nanban? ”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Yuan said in the back: "No wonder this is the case, that Ulzhou Ethics Xiao Yi has a hand to suppress thieves, and it is normal for Kozab to be scared." ”
"Hahaha." Several Mongolian commanders laughed when they heard this, and Kozab's face was cloudy, just looking at Ezhe.
When Ezhe heard Wu Yuan's words, he said disdainfully: "Xiao Yi? Maybe he does have a hand in suppressing thieves, but how can those so-called thieves compare to our steppe warriors? ”
Ezhe raised the scimitar in his hand and roared: "One of our warriors, we can easily kill ten of them, it is a fact that the Southern Barbarians are weak, how can we get out of the city, let alone have the courage to confront my steppe warriors head-on, Kozab, you are too worried." ”
After Ezhe finished speaking, Wu Yuan's eyes lit up with a gleam, but no one noticed it in the dark.
The decision has been made, and Kozab is no longer easy to speak, he looked at the narrow wooden bridge, hugged his fists and said: "Then please sweat less, let Kozab lead the team first!" ”
Ezhe patted Kozab's shoulder armor with satisfaction and praised: "Kozab, he really deserves to be my No. 1 Batur on the grassland!" ”
When Kozab heard Ezhe's praise, he was full of excitement, let go of his inner uneasiness, and with a wave of his scimitar, he led the people slowly towards the wooden bridge.
