Chapter Thirty-Six: Garrisoning the Far Fort
Hearing this, Ziren really couldn't be provoked, and he was afraid that Wang Shouren would notice it and secretly laughed a few times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I have lived for more than ten years in this life, and I have never seen such a brazen person. can say that entering the house to pick flowers is so righteous and Lingran, as if he is helping others, and there is no repentance at all.
Seeing this, Wang Shouren snickered and hurriedly said, "Brother Ziren, what do you mean?" Can't you believe in my Wang Ren's character? Forget it, it's no wonder you, the local county magistrate is also very suspicious of this, and sentenced me to beheading. Thanks to the efforts of my family, I was able to save my life and send me to the army. My old father thought that I was too noble, and the Wang family couldn't tolerate me, so he removed my name from the family tree. Therefore, this word can no longer be used, and you can call me Wang Ren or Shen Wansan in private in the future. ā
Ziren felt in his heart that this Wang Ren was really a color seed with sores on his head and pus under his feet in his early years. However, he polished it under Shen Yourong for a few years to restrain himself. If he hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, he really wouldn't have seen it. Seeing that he was talking endlessly, he was embarrassed to interrupt and could only keep nodding his head in agreement, but he really thought something else in his heart.
Wang Ren probably had no one to talk to him about this matter in the past few years, and when he saw Ziren, he couldn't help but nod his head thinking that he agreed with his statement. turned over all the bad things he had committed over the years, justified them one by one, and listened to Ziren without being upset.
At this time, Shen Yourong came to discuss with the two, and Wang Ren stopped. Shen Yourong saw that Meng Nu had no other movement except for the occasional arrow attack, and judged that this was a tired strategy. After some discussion, it was decided that everyone would take turns to rest and conserve their strength, and prepare for a possible fierce battle tomorrow. Ziren was nagged by Wang Ren for a long time, and his upper and lower eyelids had already started fighting. Seeing this situation, he did not shirk, and took his men back to the tent to rest first, and then came to replace Wang Ren after a while.
Although there were Mongol slaves attacking from time to time this night, fortunately, everyone took turns to guard and it was peaceful. Seeing that the sky was beginning to turn white, he was worried that Meng Nu would make a move. Shen Yourong woke up everyone in the camp and asked the miscellaneous servants to start burying the pot and cooking, while the soldiers began to load their firearms and prepare for the battle.
But this Monu is very strange, and he runs away after dawn. Yang Shaoxun was worried about fraud, so he specially sent people out for ten miles to investigate, but he did not find any trace of the enemy. Although the people were unwilling, the enemy's whereabouts were unknown, so they had to give up.
There are still dozens of miles from Zhenyuan Fort to Quang Ninh City, and the generals decided to set off as soon as possible. There are four guards and horses stationed in Guangning City, Guangning Zhongwei, Guangning Left Guard, and Guangning Right Guard all the year round. As long as you can rush to the city of Quang Ninh tonight, there is nothing you can do if you want to come to Mengnu and take your own side.
Hu Yukun, who was guarding, saw that everyone was leaving, so he hurried over. Zhenyuan Fort was besieged by Monu for a long time, and more than half of the soldiers in the fort were killed and wounded. Moreover, gunpowder, bows and arrows and other defensive equipment have long been depleted, and it is only the time to be weak. Hu Fatzi was worried that Mengnu would go and return, and he was struggling to keep everyone. The generals had military orders in their possession, and they were very disgusted with the bad habits of this man, so no one responded.
At this time, Ziren stepped forward and hurriedly spoke: "Generals, I checked it yesterday. In the series of bloody battles, more than 30 officers and men of our firearms battalion were wounded, and many of them were seriously wounded. If we continue to rush with them, I am afraid that the injuries of the wounded will be aggravated. Therefore, the villain felt that it was better to place the wounded in the fort and assign a few men to guard them. First, it fulfilled the kindness of Lord Hu, and secondly, it allowed injured hands and feet to recuperate with peace of mind. ā
After hearing this, Shen Yourong and Yang Shaoxun felt that this plan was good, but it was difficult to send someone to lead the people left behind. Originally, Li Dequan was injured and could lead the troops to stay, but Li Dequan wanted to see Li Ping's jokes, so he refused to live or die. Seeing this situation, Ziren could only take over this position.
At this time, there were no less than 100 wounded soldiers in the army, and all of them stayed in the town to recuperate. Shen Yourong left one person in charge of the team, and nearly twenty soldiers to assist Ziren. Yang Shaoxun also separated a general flag from the pacesetter camp and left behind with more than 30 people under his command.
Li Dequan only brought 100 people on this expedition, and lost nearly 20% in the battle with Bodu yesterday, so only five people were left. When Shen Yourong left, he promoted Ziren to the general manager of the firearms battalion, and the official position was the highest among those who stayed behind, which was convenient for coordination. Before leaving, Yang Shaoxun and Li Dequan also told their subordinates to obey Ziren's orders.
Hu Shoubei was very happy to see that everyone agreed to divide the troops to assist in the defense, and hurriedly invited Ziren and others into the fort, and also sent twenty stones of grain. Zhenyuan Fort only has a city gate in the east city, and in order to facilitate the defense of the city, everyone is placed in the barracks next to the east city.
After bidding farewell to Shen Yourong and others, Ziren hurriedly entered the fort to settle down all parties. I was busy with affairs for a while, and I had to take care of the wounded, and it was already evening when I was free. Originally, Hu Yukun wanted to invite Ziren to his home for a banquet, but Ziren was very jealous of his bad habits, and excused himself on the pretext that he was busy with military affairs and was very tired. Back in the camp, Ziren was about to go to bed after dinner, when he suddenly heard someone making noise outside the camp gate, and hurriedly got up to check.
I saw a Taoist chief, although his clothes were quite sloppy, he did look like a turtle-shaped crane, with big ears and round eyes, a beard like a cut, and a fairy wind bone. At this time, Wang Mingqiang and Ding Shoutie had been restrained by him, and Wang Xuedao knew that he was invincible and was shouting loudly for everyone to come and help.
Ding Shou was abandoned at the gate of the Taoist Temple when he was a child, but fortunately he was taken in by the Ziyang Taoist in the temple and saved his life. After being adopted by Ding Kedi and his wife, he would take Ziren to live in Guanzhong for a few days every year, so Ziren had great respect for the Taoist family since he was a child.
Seeing that the soldiers wanted to use force against Lao Dao, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. At the same time, he said to Lao Dao with a respectful face: "This real person, these two family members don't know when they offended Gao Shi. When I was young, I also spent a few days in the Taoist temple, and I hope that Mr. will raise his noble hand in this situation. If there is anything wrong, look at Yushi Haihan. ā
The Taoist chief saw that the person who came spoke politely, and from Ziren's title to himself, he could see that this person did understand Taoism. He let go of the two of them, and said calmly: "This son, Poor Dao is from Liaodong Yi (Yi) Prefecture. Today, I traveled here, and I just wanted a full meal. The two subordinates of the son really wanted to be rude to the poor road, so they had no choice but to make a move. ā
"Young master, be careful, don't listen to this demonic nonsense, this person's boxing method is very weird, beware of his disadvantage for you." Ding Shoutie whispered to Ziren.
Ziren knew that it must be him and Wang Minghard, and the dog looked down on people and looked at the old way and dressed sloppily, so he wanted to send him away. After glancing at Shoutie, he hurriedly ordered the two to retreat. He invited the Taoist chief into the camp and prepared to cook for him himself as an atonement.
