The next day, the soldiers who were monitoring the movement of Guangling City came to report that more than 1,500 Jiannu in the city had abandoned the city and left, and before leaving, they set a fire and burned everything that could be burned in the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing the bad news, Lu Xiangsheng was not only angry, but relieved, "It seems that Jiannu has received the news of Haoge's defeat, and they are going to escape."

Wang Teng thought so, "What the Lord said is extremely true, after repeated fierce battles, the Zhenglan Banner has lost more than 4,000 horses, whether it is Haoge or Abatai, they can no longer afford to lose troops again."

According to historical records, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were a total of 346,000 men, of which only 55,000 were Manchurian men, 30,000 Mongolian men, and the remaining 260,000 were Han soldiers and Baoyi slaves.

Now it is only 1636, and there are still eight years before the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the customs, that is, there will not be more than 50,000 men in the entire Manchurian Eight Banners.

According to this estimate, there are only about 8,000 people in the Zhenglan Banner.

In the battle of Ulzhou, Hauge and Abatai lost their troops one after another, and more than 900 Qiding were killed in battle!

What is this concept?

In just over half a month, Hauge and Abatai have ruined one percent of the men in the flag!

The 1,000 people killed in battle were the real mainstay, and once they died, Haug no longer dared to take any more risks.

In the past history, even if the Houjin army was lost, most of the losses were Mongols and clothed minions, and the war that lost nearly a thousand banners like today can be said to be unprecedented!

Even though Abatai and Hauge's hearts are higher than the sky, they have to bow their heads in the face of the cruel reality.

Leaving Ulzhou and leaving Datong has become the common wish of Abatai and Haoge.

Lu Xiangsheng originally planned to leave immediately, but after hearing the news of Jiannu's escape, he changed his mind and decided to rest for one more day before setting off, "Wei Zhong, I heard that Haoge has built a Jingguan outside Guangling City, let's go over and have a look together."

The Jingguan made of Han people's corpses and bones is a shame for the Guangling Army.

However, Wang Teng understood that Lu Xiangsheng had no other meaning, "My lord, Jingguan is the shame of the Guangling Army, and I want to bring the Yellow Tiger with me."

Lu Xiangsheng bowed slightly, "It's just right, let Wang Pu and Jiang Bingyi go together, Jingguan is not only the shame of Guangling Army, but also the shame of my Ming Dynasty."

For Wang Pu and Jiang Bingzhi, this is a great opportunity to get close to Lu Xiangsheng, and they naturally will not refuse.

Sure enough, when Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Teng packed up and prepared to leave, Wang Pu and others came.

"My lord, Wang is late!"

Lu Xiangsheng showed a hint of a smile, "It's okay, this official is just on a whim, I want to go to Guangling City to have a look, if you have nothing to do, you can go with me, if you have other important things, you can do it yourself!" ”

What are you kidding, I finally got the opportunity to get along with the governor of Xuanda, and the fool will leave!

Wang Pu and Jiang Bingzhi looked at each other and smiled, and they smiled tacitly: "My lord, I'm fine."

Lu Xiangsheng was not surprised, "Okay, let's go."

The group rode their horses, and the speed was not fast.

In March, it was already the season of spring ploughing, and the fields on both sides of the official road were crowded with people working hard.

Crowds of young men were clearing the ditches, and not far away, the renovated waterwheels of the artisan camp were back in operation.

"Bang Bang Bang", the clear flow of the cylinder through the long ditch flows in all directions.

Compared with last year, the people in the fields are obviously a little impatient.

In these days of nuisance, the people almost missed the agricultural time, and now, when they heard that the officials and troops had won a great victory, the people were rushing to grow food.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed, "If I miss the agricultural season, I will be the culprit."

Wang Pu was born in Jiangmen and has never been in the field, but this does not mean that he knows nothing about farming, "My lord's words are wrong, if it were not for the Tianxiong Army, Jiannu would definitely not go, and it was the people of Shanxi who suffered at that time."

Wang Teng also echoed, "What General Wang said is that the Tianxiong Army is the hero of Guangling, and the people here will definitely remember it."

Lu Xiangsheng never took fame and fortune to heart, and when he heard what Wang Pu and Wang Teng said, he just shook his head, "As the governor of Xuanda, this official can't resist the enemy outside the country, and can't destroy the enemy inside the country, this is a dereliction of duty, tomorrow I will go to the court and ask the Son of Heaven to punish me!" ”

Wang Pu almost bit off his tongue, Lu Xiangsheng wants to capture the old and take retreat as advance?

In history, the famous ministers and generals who have made great achievements have already mastered this trick, and it is understandable for Lu Xiangsheng to do this.

It's just that now that the Tianxiong Army has just won a big victory, will Lu Xiangsheng's appearance cause criticism?

If you win a battle and ask for punishment and accept punishment, what about those who have won the battle? What kind of face do they have to be in the same hall as Lu Xiangsheng?

At this time, Wang Teng finally understood why when Lu Xiangsheng died in Julu, all the troops did not move and refused to rescue.

The feelings are all because Lu Xiangsheng has offended too many people!

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has already become a pot of paste, and a person like Lu Xiangsheng who is clean and self-righteous is destined to stay for a long time.

No, Lu Xiangsheng must not be allowed to repent in the book, otherwise, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Wang Teng's thoughts turned sharply and he began to prepare his speech.

It is not easy to convince Lu Xiangsheng, especially if the other party has already made up his mind, but Wang Teng prepared early.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

The peasants in the fields saluted one after another, and they thanked Lu Xiangsheng for his kindness.

Lu Xiangsheng's heart suddenly felt much better.

Not long after doing this again, everyone saw a thick smoke billowing in.

"My lord, Guangling City has arrived"

The smoke is so loud that it means that the fire is fierce.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had just improved his mood, was a little bored, "Are there any people in the city?" ”

"It should be empty, with the spicy level of Jiannu, they won't leave anything alive"

"How's the fire going?"

"The Guangling Army has already put out the fire here, but the fire is too big, and there is really not much that the soldiers can do.

Lu Xiangsheng was a little excited, and at this time, he finally saw Jingguan.

After Hauge captured Guangling, he killed a thousand villagers and accumulated their heads into a mountain to deter Xiaoxiao.

Unexpectedly, instead of scaring people, Jingguan aroused the common hatred of the people, which was something that Jiannu had never expected.

Lu Xiangsheng turned over and dismounted, "Tell you to go down, find a feng shui treasure, and let them settle in the earth."

The wind has been blowing and sleeping for so long, and many of the heads in Jingguan have already exposed their white bones.

When Jiannu was still alive, no one dared to approach here, after all, Jiannu's ferocious fingers were obvious to all.

At this time, Jiannu had already fled, and there was no danger in letting the soldiers dispose of the corpse.

The weather is getting warmer, and many large and small bugs have appeared on their heads.

This kind of weather is easy to induce plague, and Wang Teng has to guard against it, "My lord, I have prepared this kind of thing, which can be worn by the brother who cleans up the corpse."

Before the words fell, Wang Teng went up from the horse to take a burden, "My lord, look! ”

Inspired by the masks in later generations, Wang Teng made a shield with gauze and brocade cloth.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes widened, "How do you use this thing?" ”

Wang Teng tried the law, "Like me!" ”

Wang Teng easily tied the rope behind his head, the mask covered half of his face, and only a pair of eyes were left to spin around.

Lu Xiangsheng did the same, and soon discovered the mystery, with this kind of thing, when facing all kinds of patients, the safety factor of the medical officer can be doubled.

In these days, it is not easy to find a reliable doctor, and if something goes wrong, it will be too late.

However, if there are masks, the chances of doctors getting sick will be compressed to the extreme, and no one will get infected in a short time.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "Wei Zhong, how much gauze do you have there?" If you are not enough, let it go, and I will make up for the lack of money."

The mask only costs a few dollars, Wang Teng naturally will not be ugly, "Don't worry, adults, I will definitely let the craftsman camp make more masks."

Lu Xiangsheng is very pleased!

At this time, 100 young men wore masks and started the Jingguan burning operation.

Whether it is Wang Pu or Jiang Bingzhi, they are all very spicy and suppressed by Jiannu, especially Jiang Bingzhi, who is even more afraid.

A few days ago, Haoge even led the army to Lingqiu, if it weren't for the Guangling Army, even if it appeared, I was afraid that Lingqiu would be destroyed at this time.

……

Hundreds of miles away, Hauge and Abatai, who were in a very bad mood, met Fan Qi.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Fan Qi's face is extremely bad, "Baylor! ”

Abatai drew the knife in his hand, his eyes showed a fierce light, "Why did Mr. Fan go and return, aren't you afraid of the knife in my hand?" ”

Fan Qi tried his best to stop his waist, "The head of the family has prepared grain and straw, and he is waiting for Baylor at any time."

Abatai frowned, "Don't want to use grain to buy me, you deceived me to Ulzhou, causing me to lose my troops and generals, how can this be replaced by just grain and straw?" ”

Fan Qi took a deep breath, "Baylor Mingjian, the Fan family is friendly with the Jurchen generations, how dare the villain deceive Baylor?" ”

Abatai snorted coldly, "Let me ask you, where were you when I needed you?" ”

"Baylor, the villain knows that the army is short of grain, and all of them have gone home to transport grain"

Abatai had to say more, and Hauge coughed dryly, "Where is the grain?" ”

"The grain and straw are all in one courtyard"

"Why didn't Fan Yongdou send it in person?"

"There are too many grains, it is easy to provoke right and wrong, and the head of the family means that Baylor can act in a play, and Fan fully cooperates."

"Will the plan be released?"

"The head of the family has put the rice millet in Hejiazhuang, and Baylor can take it for himself"

Abatai understood that Fan Yongdou was trying to hide people's eyes.

Well, this guy knows about human accidents, and Abatai can't find a reason to be angry even if he wants to, "If the Fan family dares to lie to me, I will definitely let Fan Yongdou die!" ”

Fan Qi smiled and didn't dare to say more.

Dozens of miles away, a caravan came in a mighty way.

The caravan is huge, and there are many good guards in the guards.

It's just that the caravan has a lot of goods, which has attracted the attention of many people.

On this day, it was getting late, and the caravan set up camp by a stream.

After dinner, the caravan guards set up more than a dozen open and dark posts inside and out.

This is a treasure that Wang Teng bought with a lot of money, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise, no matter how kind Wang Teng is, he can't spare these guards!

As we all know, Wang Teng's rewards and punishments are clear, merit is merit, and fault is fault, if the real crime is unforgivable, he will not show mercy.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside.

Blacksmith Zhang thought that he had heard it, but the next moment, the guards on duty outside shouted loudly: "Lord Zhang, get up quickly, someone is coming."

"Rogues? Who would have the audacity to attack a caravan! ”

The caravan consisted of a hundred guards, three hundred coolies and porters who drove the carts, and how many men and horses did the enemy have to attack such a well-guarded caravan?

There was a loud killing outside, and in the dark night, no one knew how many thieves had killed.

Fortunately, the caravan's guards were well-trained, and when they were attacked, they did not panic, but took protective measures step by step.

The caravan's cargo must be well protected, and secondly, the mules and horses, without which the caravan can continue to move forward is a problem.

During the day, the caravan guards had formed an arc around the vehicles.

At this time, relying on the advantage of the car formation, the attacker did not kill for a while.

Blacksmith Zhang was worried, who was coming?

Whether it's a slave or a rogue, there is no reason to talk to them, if they fall into the hands of thieves later, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable!

Suddenly, "Doo", an arrow was inserted into the horse.

The accompanying Wuyunzhu was furious, "I dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it's really tired and crooked."

When the rogue heard this, instead of being angry, he was overjoyed, "Look, there's a girl here!" ”

Not far away, an extremely obscene voice was heard.

Thieves have different hobbies, some are greedy for money, and some are lustful.

The thief in the southwest corner of the caravan fell in love with the beauty of the dark cloud beads, and he summoned his companions, intending to kill and take the beauty.

The thieves would never have imagined that Wuyunzhu was a killing god.

"Quick, stop the thief!" The Commander of the Guards shouted loudly for his men to come to their aid.

Wuyunzhu is Wang Teng's wife, if it is damaged here, who can bear it?

This caravan is actually Wang Teng's industry, but it has never been exposed.

In order to hide people's eyes, the caravan did not place the dark cloud bead in the core, but a little outside, after all, no one could have imagined that there were really thieves coming.

There were eight guards around Wuyunzhu, among them, a small half of them had to protect Blacksmith Zhang, and only three or five people could come forward to fight.

"Shoot!"

The caravan's guards were skilled in marksmanship, and the guns in their hands rang incessantly, as if they didn't want money.

Among them, the thieves who tried to get their hands on the dark cloud beads soon died under the fire.

Under the rain of lead bullets, the thieves lost dozens of people, and after four rounds of fire, the guns were also a little hot.

Dark Cloud's anger did not dissipate with the death of the rogue, and she brandished her scimitar and struck at the rogue.

"Gege, no!"

"Quick, protect the hostess!"

The guards were so frightened that they didn't hesitate for a moment and followed closely behind the dark clouds.

The thieves here seemed to have premeditated, and after the blow, none of them flinched, they crowded in one place and went on the offensive again.

Blacksmith Zhang cleared his throat, "Lancers are ready to do it!" ”

Gunners are not good for melee combat, and if you want to defend against the Rogues, you have to rely on pikemen!

Spearmen against the enemy!

With chariots and horses to rely on, pikemen are the safest choice in the dark.

The fastest thief in front of him had already rushed to the place where the pikeman was more than ten paces ahead, and fired the fire again, although he could still kill and injure the thief, but he had lost his initial deterrent.

In close combat, how can a thief compare to a well-trained caravan guard?

It's just that there are too many thieves, and they rush in the dark, as if they don't care about casualties at all.

Under such pressure, the dark cloud beads in iron armor came out from the flanks!
