The first great victory since the expedition left the whole army immersed in excessive joy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers set up their tents and sat around the fire to celebrate. Peng Yue specially ordered that some special items brought by the army be distributed to the soldiers to reward them, so there was this jubilant scene.

The soldiers noisily uncorked the sacs and placed the bread and horse meat on the campfire, and the rare smell of wine and food suddenly wafted leisurely. Inside and outside the camp, the drinking orders of guessing boxing, and the sound of rude laughter and scolding came and went.

Wind from the dragon. The clouds are from the tiger, fame and fortune, dust and earth.

Looking at Shenzhou, the people are bitter, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren.

Look at the world, as much as you want, and make up for the defects of heaven.

Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the lord.

Holding a steel knife of ninety-nine, he killed Hu Er before stopping.

I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow.

The strong man drank the wine in the bowl and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles.

The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly.

The loud military song sounded in the camp, making people feel that a heroic feeling boiled the blood in their hearts.

Peng Yue also drank happily in the camp tent, "Maybe for all the soldiers, this is the most joyful moment." ”

"It's really worth celebrating...", Zeng Mian took a sip of wine, "but as a true warrior, you must know how to minimize the time of this joy..."

"Master Peng, look at the drunken appearance of the soldiers now, if the Tartar soldiers come to attack now, won't we only have to be passively beaten?" , Zeng Mo said with a smile.

"Oops. What Master Zeng said is reasonable...", Peng Yue's eyes widened. As a sudden realization, "I got carried away." I didn't expect the Tartars to come and rob the camp! ”

"Master Peng doesn't have to be anxious...", Zeng Mian laughed, "I just said that if... Rest assured, the Tartars are not that smart. After this defeat, it was difficult for them to organize an effective resistance in a short time. Tonight... Let the soldiers indulge once..."

"Lord Zeng, you must not be so underestimated against the enemy, you must always be vigilant...", Peng Yue said anxiously, "It's all my fault that I have to let the soldiers celebrate today." If this time because of me, the three armies are affected, then what should I do! ”

"Don't worry, Master Peng...", Zeng Milled on the mattress, and casually crossed Erlang's legs, "I have arranged for the soldiers to patrol the night in shifts, and there are also General Li Dequan leading troops to defend the periphery, and there is also the sentry cavalry I arranged in the distance to reconnoiter the situation." It's just those patrols during the day, and there won't be anything wrong..."

"But... But the soldiers are all drunk...", Peng Yue still looked regretful.

"Hey, hey... Don't worry, they won't get drunk. After a while, I will be awake as usual...", Zeng Mo smiled slyly, "I mixed a lot of water in the wine... If you don't do that, you won't have enough wine..."

"In fact, the soldiers also know in their hearts...". Zeng Mo sighed lightly, "But no one wants to say it." After all, such days are already rare... Sometimes life is like this, you need to lie to yourself..."

Peng Yue listened. I can't get enough of the interest in drinking. With a sense of pathos in his heart, the hand holding the wine glass unconsciously put it down.

"Lord Zeng, the two cannons I asked you to reserve are useless this time, right?" , Peng Yue saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he deliberately diverted the topic.

"It didn't work." , Zeng Mo shook his head, "According to what you said, there are also a lot of shells left." ”

"But I'm afraid it's not enough...", Peng Yue sighed and said, "Originally, these gunpowder were used when preparing to capture the camp, and they might have played a great role at that time, but now it seems that they are obviously not enough..."

"Master Peng, I just have a question I want to ask you...", Zeng Mo saw that Peng Yue was a little silent, so he talked about other things, "When you fight today, you put the archers in front first, and then let them retreat to the two wings when you change formation, aren't you afraid that the Tartars will suddenly change direction and attack the archers?" ”

"I have my own considerations...", Peng Yue said with a smile, "The Tartar cavalry is wrapped in the mountain, although the impact is increased, but there are also disadvantages, that is, they can't easily change the direction, basically what direction the hillside is, what trajectory they are rushing, so naturally there is no need to worry that they will turn to attack the archers." ”

"And what if the archers don't retreat in time?" , Zeng Mo stared at Peng Yue, as if he didn't stop without asking clearly.

"That's... There's no way to do that...", Peng Yue dodged Zeng Miao's eyes, "If you don't put them in front to attract the Tartar soldiers, but directly show the cannons, the Tartar soldiers will run early, how can there be such a big victory today..."

"yes... I've rehearsed it many times in advance...", Zeng Mo muttered, "If you fight, you will die after all... There will be a dead man..."

The words aroused the infinite emotion in Peng Yue's heart. Although he already understood this simple truth in his heart, from Zeng Miao's mouth, it was a different taste.

"Tomorrow's goal, continue to march, prepare to capture Maliang Mountain, seize the pass...", Zeng Milled over, and fell asleep a little.

In the days that followed, as Zeng had expected, there was no large-scale resistance from the Tartar soldiers. But the army remained cautious and moved slowly to avoid a mistake.

Of course, there was a more important purpose in doing this, that is, to wait for the Ming army to occupy the rear area and set up camp and build military fortifications, so as to achieve the goal of truly occupying the Hetao area. And these Ming troops were all drawn from another 50,000 soldiers, which not only achieved the purpose of narrowing the encirclement, but also swept away the remnants of the Tartars in the territory by the way.

After a few more days of slow marching, and a few minor battles, the army was finally reaching its destination.

Although they had not experienced any more tragic wars, the soldiers were already tired under the strong mental pressure, and they had nothing to say at night. The patrol of the patrol, the night of the watch, and then the silent sleep.

They now urgently need a war to release, to vent, to sweep away the momentary vigilance in their hearts. Of course, this requirement is very easy to meet, because in the current land, the most important thing is war.

"All on alert!" , Li Dequan shouted loudly, and by the way, he kicked the night soldiers who were napping on the side, "Put on armor, prepare horses, and extinguish all open fires!" ”

The soldiers who were still asleep just now woke up from their dreams one after another, each looking for their equipment and horses. The camp was in a hurry, with a dozen people pulling out their trouser pockets and brushing the fire with urine, and the sizzling white smoke diffused with a fishy atmosphere.

"What's wrong?" , Peng Yue and Zeng Mo also hurriedly put on their armor and ran out.

"A soldier came to report just now, and there were Tartar soldiers rushing here in the distance." , Li Dequan replied loudly.

Oops, I'll go... Peng Yue yawned, it seemed that he couldn't sleep peacefully... (To be continued.) )
