Chapter 251: Jiannu is coming
For Shaanxi, it is better to rob while the fire is burning than to stand by!
Shaanxi has been in drought for many years, not to mention ordinary people, that is, there is no grain in the treasury of the government, except for the local wealthy families, and other idlers can't even find a mouthful of grain and straw.
In this case, if Jiao Yuanbo agrees to borrow grain, Sun Chuanting can lead the people under his command to tide over the difficulties, which is of great benefit to enhance his personal prestige and unite the hearts of the army and the people.
However, Jiao Yuanbo's worries are not unreasonable.
It's one thing to borrow grain, it's another to trade grain.
If there is a lot of hype about it, maybe Jiao Yuanbo will become the so-called "self-filling" person!
Wang Teng is just a military general, so he can naturally ignore the wind comments, however, Jiao Yuanbo is very different.
The governor of Shanxi is a three-grade civil official, and if he does a good job, he is likely to go straight to the center, which is a great honor.
Jiao Yuanbo has been in the position of governor for three years, and he doesn't want to lose his life.
Fortunately, Wang Teng had already prepared, "My lord, Shaanxi is dry, how can Shanxi have good weather and rain?" It is already very rare that we can send grain to help Shaanxi, and I believe that Master Sun will not be wrong about us."
"However, the replacement of salt and iron is the work of Shang Jia, and we are officials of the imperial court, how can we make such a decision?"
"My lord, Shanxi's grain is not falling from the sky, if it weren't for the iron ore produced in Datong and Ulzhou, which replaced the grain, I'm afraid that Shanxi is still too busy to take care of itself, how can there be more grain?"
Jiao Yuanbo sighed, he knew that what Wang Teng said was the truth.
Recently, if it weren't for Wang Teng's tiger mouth snatching food and snatching hundreds of thousands of stone grains from Fan Yongdou's hands, the life of the governor yamen would never be as idle as it is now.
Now, since Wang Teng has the confidence to succeed, let him do it.
On the occasion of the invasion of Jiannu, Jiao Yuanbo needed Wang Teng's full strength to fight the enemy.
Only by blocking the construction of the Nu family, will the army of Lu Inspector have an opportunity to take advantage of.
If Shanxi's soldiers and horses are crushed at the first touch, even if the house is full of gold and silver, Jiao Yuanbo will not end well.
In order to win over Wang Teng, Jiao Yuanbo was willing to take risks, "Wang Shoubei, you earn the grain, you have the right to dispose of them, the official is old, and his brain is rusty, I just hope you can consider it all and make the best of both worlds."
Wang Teng held his head high, "Your Excellency is relieved, and the lower officials will do their best to never let your adults down."
Jiao Yuanbo was a little excited, "Go ahead, I will send someone to pass through Li Yuan, and you will be fully responsible for this matter."
"Thank you for your trust."
"Let's go"
After Wang Teng retired, not long after, Li Yuan came to visit, "Lord Wang, millions of villagers in Shaanxi are waiting to be fed, and please raise your noble hand and borrow some grain."
Wang Teng was noncommittal, "Sir, grain can be given, but it can't be given in vain, and I don't have plenty in Shanxi."
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, before he came, he had been authorized, as long as he could borrow grain, it was nothing to spend some silver.
At present, Wang Teng has made a request, which means that the other party is trading in good faith.
I am not afraid that Shanxi has requirements, but I am afraid that Shanxi will not pull out a dime.
After some bargaining, Li Yuan accepted Wang Teng's plan in its entirety.
Thirty catties of grain for one catty of iron and stone may sound a bit expensive, but it is much stronger than no harvest of grains.
The next day, Li Yuan embarked on the journey home with the news.
At the same time, the pioneer of Jiannu captured several cities in a row, and soon came to Guangling County.
Du Jin, the commander of the Blue Banner, took it for granted that as long as his army arrived, Wang Teng would be vulnerable.
For the 2,000 Ming officers and soldiers, how could they be worth the 10,000 elites under their command?
You must know that when killing soldiers and horses from all walks of life, Abatai only used 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Who would have thought that he chased after him all the way, but he still let Wang Teng hide in the city.
"Master, do you want to loot a few villages and coerce some homeless people?"
When attacking the city, the homeless people are in front, and the elite are behind, which is the only magic weapon for Jiannu to defeat the enemy, but at the moment, Du Jin is not in a hurry to attack the city, "Don't be impatient, I want to see how Wang Teng responds."
General couldn't help but complain, "Master, is it possible that you still expect the defenders to open the door by themselves?" Isn't that clear? The people here have already worn the same pants as Wang Teng, and they will not surrender."
Dugin was furious, "Shut up, I don't need you to teach me a lesson, siege the city!" Even if the rear army comes, we only have 10,000 horses under our command, do you know how many defenders there are in the city? Wang Teng alone has 3,000 people, if you count the servants, at least 4,000 away, don't think of a way, just rely on brute force, it will only fall into Wang Teng's trap! ”
was scolded by Du Jin, and the general didn't dare to say anything, but he couldn't hide his unwilling expression.
Perhaps knowing that his tone was a little heavier, Du Jin said again: "Okay, if the officials and soldiers in the city really don't get in with oil and salt, you can go find some people to come over tomorrow."
Looking for the people? How to find it? It's not the burning, killing and looting kind?
Hearing that Dugin finally relented, the general was overjoyed, and he happily sang: "The master is wise! ”
"Bullshit, tell me to go down, don't take off your armor, don't leave your sword, and beware of Wang Teng's sneak attack out of the city"
"Master, just look at it, what battles haven't we seen? If he comes, I will have to twist off his head and give it to your old man as a night pot."
"Get out, don't be poor, Jin Liu, you follow me everywhere"
"Whoa!"
Dugin has always had a long memory, and he is not willing to take risks easily.
There were three gates in Guangling City, and Du Gin led his men around the city, except for one city wall that was slightly lower, and no special omissions were found in other places.
Even if it is a slightly lower city wall, there are no auxiliary measures such as ladders, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for idle soldiers to climb to the city.
After going around, Du Gin suddenly knew that if he attacked the city, he would have to coerce at least 10,000 villagers to succeed.
If the number is small, it will not be effective at all.
After turning around, Dugin sighed and gave a secret order.
The general who received the order was overjoyed and jumped three feet high: "Master, you finally figured it out, we are Jurchens, what kind of benevolent tricks are playing!" ”
Dugin was quite annoyed: "Silence, remember, don't be in a hurry to bring them here, and listen to my news at any time."
"I understand, master, just look at it."
"Okay, go ahead, do things beautifully, don't leave any tails"
"Haha, you can't trust me about other things, you can rest assured about this matter, if something goes wrong, I'll come to see you"
"Roll Away"
"Whoa!"
When night falls, a bonfire is lit outside the city.
At the head of the city, Wang Teng looked at the thief camp and asked expectantly: "Sir, if I open the door at this time and attack at night, I don't know what the odds are?" ”
Song Xiance stood beside Wang Teng, and said in his mouth: "The right person to explore the Malay newspaper, Du Jin's main force is still ten miles away, if the adults want to win, tonight is the best opportunity!" ”
"Well, I guess it's impossible for Jiannu to march overnight, so let's do it tonight."
"Those who come must be the elite of Jiannu, and adults should beware of them jumping off the wall in a hurry"
"I know"
During the camp, Dugin inevitably stayed through the night, and although simple fortifications had been set up outside the camp, and nearly a hundred people were patrolling around, he always felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
How so? The brigade of the rear army is ten miles away, and they can meet tomorrow, where is there anything wrong?
Is it possible, Wang Teng still dares to attack at night?
Du Jin was startled, yes, if he was Wang Teng, he would definitely not let go of such an opportunity tonight.
There is no room for maneuver between the Jurchen and Wang Teng, and if there is a real opportunity, Wang Teng will never let it go.
Thinking of this, Dugin hurriedly put on his armor and went out of the account.
At this time, it was already late at night.
In the howling wind, Dugin faintly heard dull footsteps.
Wait, how can there be footsteps at this time?
Dugin has been in the army for many years and has already developed a high level of vigilance.
There was a strange noise at the gates!
Du Gin immediately looked at the city gate, where there was still a black hole, and he couldn't see anything, but he didn't dare to be careless, "Come on, call everyone up, the Ming people are coming."
The warning sound of the gong sounded in the camp, and the sleeping Jurchen sergeants were awakened by their companions, who rushed out of the camp as soon as possible and shouted: "Where are the Ming people? Where is Akito? ”
Fortunately, there were fewer people under Du Jin's command, so there was no camp roar and any big chaos.
"What are you yelling about? The Ming army has not yet arrived, it is Lord Belle who found out that something is wrong and ordered him to go down and prepare to fight! ”
"Whoa!"
When the gong sounded in the enemy camp, Zhou Yuji under the city understood that Jiannu had discovered the abnormality.
What to do, should I continue to attack the camp, or should I take advantage of the situation and retreat?
The enemy camp was only three miles away from the city, and standing at the head of the city, the scene in the camp was unobstructed.
What went wrong? How could the enemy be on guard?
At this time, there is no point in thinking so much, only to kill the past.
Wang Teng at the head of the city saw the movement in the other party's camp, he did not hesitate, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum!" ”
The official army is already riding a tiger when they leave the city, and if they flee without a fight, it will only fuel the arrogance of Jiannu.
Anyway, there are not many Jiannu, and the Guangling army gives it a go, and there is no hope of victory.
The big drum of "Knock Knock" sounded, and the rumbling sound was heard far away in the night.
In a dilemma, I don't know what to do Zhou Yuji was in good spirits after hearing this, and he smiled: "Did you hear that?" Adults are cheering us on, what about Jiannu's warning? Let's kill them anyway and leave no armor behind! ”
"Kill, kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"
Under the leadership of Zhou Yuji, the Guangling army was like a fierce tiger and went straight to the enemy camp.
At this time, since the thieves have been prepared, there is no need for the Guangling Army to hide.
Torches lit up one after another, illuminating the path of the brigade.
Huang Hu followed closely behind, loudly boosting morale, and said: "Quick, don't give Zhou Yuji the credit alone, kill the slave!" ”
"Kill slaves!"
In order to deal with Dugin, Wang Teng dispatched 3,000 men and horses, which can be said to be pouring out.
Dugin arrived first, with only a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands.
When the two armies were less than a hundred paces apart, the archers in the camp could not hold it back, and they drew their bows and arrows and shot at the place where the torches were burning.
It's a pity that all the Guangling soldiers are wearing armor, and sometimes, even if the long arrow hits the target, they often get nothing because of the armor.
Passive beating is not Zhou Yuji's usual style, hearing the screams that sounded from time to time beside him, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he took the lead, and roared loudly in his mouth: "Rush, rush over, don't be the target of Jiannu."
Under the threat of enemy arrows, the speed of the Guangling army was greatly increased.
It didn't take long for Zhou Yuji to come outside the fence of the thief camp.
The soldier carrying the hook and sickle was still ten steps behind him, but Zhou Yuji couldn't wait, he strode to the wooden fence, quickly flashed the slave soldier's bayonet, and then in the other party's dumbfounded gaze, he grabbed the fence with both hands, and with a "hey" sound, he actually pulled up the fence in more than two hundred catties.
"Ahh
Zhou Yuji moved a corner of the fence, and at this time, the soldiers of the Guangling Army had already rushed to his side.
"Kill slaves!"
"Kill!"
Zhou Yuji took the lead and rushed into the camp with a knife.
Many Jiannu were frightened by Zhou Yuji, even if they were murderous, but in the face of the extremely vicious Hu Yong, they were still a little afraid.
"Puff puff", in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yuji killed one person.
The rest of the Jiannu were annoyed and ashamed, "Han dog, go to death!" ”
Zhou Yuji was furious and beat the horse to take this person directly.
"Quick, protect Yoko!"
"Kill slaves!"
If it weren't for the timely arrival of Guangling's soldiers, maybe Zhou Yuji would have fallen into a lonely battle.
Huang Hu also joined the battle group, and when he heard that it was the soldiers and horses of the Zhenglan Banner who came to attack, he asked Wang Teng for help, saying that he was willing to lead his soldiers and horses into battle.
Different from Zhou Yuji's rampage, the sergeants under Huang Hu's command slowly pressed forward with uniform steps.
A cold light rose from the earth, reflecting the bloodthirsty swords and spears.
In the dark night, no one knew how many officers and soldiers had been killed.
Dugin only knew that the camp had been surrounded on all sides, and there were Ming troops everywhere.
"Stop them, quick, come with me and stop them!"
A Jiannu general shouted and rushed to the north, followed by nearly a hundred soldiers.
However, they were greeted by a dense mass of short spears!
"Throw!"
When the two armies were only forty or fifty paces apart, Huang Hu gave an order and ordered the spearman to throw a short spear.
In the darkness of the night, the torches in the camp became the most visible symbol.
As long as the soldiers threw the torches, they could not go wrong.
"Ahh
A series of screams rang out from the camp, rushing the fastest, and Jiannu, who was trying to reinforce here, howled, and three short spears were pierced through his body, but he still had a breath, and he cried out in panic: "Spear, there is a spear!" ”
"Poof", another short spear roared, ending the man's suffering.
More than 500 short spears cleared a place of death, and Jiannu was terrified.
Another short spear!
At the beginning of the year, when the Blue Flag invaded, the short spear of the Guangling Army used to be powerful, but now, Wang Teng repeated his old skills, but Du Jin was very broken.
