The gloomy dark clouds almost pressed down on the city walls, and winter in December was the coldest time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wind whistled across the river and plunged into the city, and the ice that had melted on the surface of the river froze again, and this time even the river that had always been rushing bowed its head before the coming cold and snowstorm compared to last year.

Tugging at the placket, Ye Yingwu had to sigh at the power of this ice age, after all, after seven hundred years, not to mention the freezing of the Yangtze River, even the freezing of Huaishui and Hanshui is already a strange news, and the Jiangnan in December is just a little cold and damp, but now Ye Yingwu is willing to bet that this temperature is about ten degrees below zero.

Jiangnan is still like this, and he can imagine what the situation is like in the north, especially the steppe where Mongolia is located, so Ye Yingwu can also understand why the Mongols will go south at all costs, even if they encounter a strong opponent like the Southern Song Dynasty, they have been attacking for fifty years, and they still want to seize this piece of land, which is inseparable from the aggressiveness of the Mongols, and it also depends to a large extent on the damn weather.

But the weather is the weather, this is the land of China, and it is also the homeland of so-and-so, where you can come.

Ye Yingwu exhaled softly, and a snowflake had already fallen on his palm with the wind, so frightened that the two maidservants behind him hurriedly stretched out and wanted to hold up a curtain for Ye Yingwu to block the heavy snow that might penetrate directly from this side of the corridor to that side at any time.

Waving his hand so that they didn't have to be so troublesome, Ye Yingwu walked straight forward. But I have to say that today is really strange, I will lead the rest of the Praetorian Guard and the Divine Guard to the north tomorrow, these goblins in the back house have been making trouble for an afternoon, how can it be quiet at night, from Lu Wanyan's Kunning Palace to the back row of Chuxiu Palace, Yikun Palace, Changxiu Palace, and Hanying Palace, the lights have been extinguished, only the palace lights in the corridor are still shaking in the wind.

When designing the palace at that time, Guo Shoujing once asked Ye Yingwu's hobbies in detail, so there was no large aisle in the palace that needed to take a sedan chair to pass, and all of them were replaced by corridors that could shelter from the wind and rain, so as to meet Ye Yingwu's habit of walking, and secondly, it also echoed the style of garden design in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the palace could perfectly combine the gentle and small style of the Jiangnan water town with the majesty of the royal family.

Ye Yingwu glanced at it and vaguely understood, but by the time he turned around, the two maidservants had disappeared. Shaking his head helplessly, Ye Yingwu walked straight forward. Before she walked to the study, a delicate figure appeared in front of her, and Qing'er bowed to Ye Yingwu in a little panic:

"Slave and maid, see Your Highness."

Nodding, Ye Yingwu raised his chin: "Hui Niang is inside?" ”

Qing'er hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, the lady is looking for two books inside, let the slave wait outside, so that no one ······"

"It's for you to keep watch." Ye Yingwu chuckled, "Okay, the main master is also here, Qing'er, you can retreat first." ”

Qing'er suddenly covered her lips and chuckled and retreated into the darkness, and Ye Yingwu stretched a lazy waist, no wonder these people in the back house are so quiet, after all, in front of Hui Niang, they will obediently give a step in their senses, not to mention that Hui Niang's status in Ye Yingwu's heart is clear to everyone, usually held in the palm of Ye Yingwu's hand like a pearl that exudes a bright light, and she is most afraid of bumping into it, so that Hui Niang has passed the age of Hui, and Ye Yingwu still hasn't touched her.

The earth dragon in the study was burning very hot, Ye Yingwu gently pushed the door open, the cold wind poured into the room, blowing the candle flame and scattered paper, and a wisp of cigarette smoke fluttered leisurely in the incense burner. Hui Niang was tiptoeing to reach for a copy of "Between the Flowers" on the shelf, but was startled by the voice behind her, and as soon as her hand was loosened, the heavy book fell head-on.

"Yikes!" Hui Niang exclaimed, Ye Yingwu had already stepped forward first, grabbed the book, and Hui Niang just crashed into his arms.

Coughing lightly, Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "Hui Niang, you are really positive when you throw yourself into your arms like this, which makes you a little embarrassed." ”

"Self-inflicted." Wang Qinghui said softly, but there was no longer the slightest hint of reproach between the words, and it was clearly a joy that was difficult to hide. Obviously, the sweetheart saved herself just right, and then gave her a hug, which made this little girl with a spring very excited.

Ye Yingwu hummed helplessly, it was an admission, and casually stuffed the book into Hui Niang's arms: "Be careful next time, it's not too early, the weather is cold outside, and it will snow nine times out of ten, Hui Niang, you better hurry back and rest, otherwise it will ······"

Wang Qinghui hesitated a little, and Ye Yingwu let go of his hand indifferently, patted her shoulder, and walked straight out, but if Hui Niang was in front of Ye Yingwu at this time, she could clearly see a wicked smile on the corner of this guy's mouth.

After a moment of silence, Hui Niang casually put down the "Flower Collection", hurriedly took two steps forward, and suddenly opened her arms and hugged Ye Yingwu from behind: "Husband, tonight is ······ Is it good to accompany a concubine? ”

Ye Yingwu chuckled lowly: "Are you sure?" ”

"Concubine······ It's already like this, what else do you want. Hui Niang said cowardly.

Holding the girl's slightly trembling hand, Ye Yingwu exhaled: "Okay." ”

————————————————-

The snow in Huaibei came earlier than in the south of the Yangtze River, and the goose feather snow fell on the field one after another, and also covered the ruins of the broken wall outside the city of Chenzhou. The former outer city of Chenzhou, bringing together merchants from the north and south, has become the most prosperous and lively place in the entire Huaibei in just a few months, but who would have thought that this prosperity is like a mirror, when the beacon smoke is ignited, everything is empty.

However, in just these few months, according to the estimation of the Ming Household Department, among the trade in several trading towns, most of the Ming merchants have earned a full bowl, and the silver in circulation is at least three or four hundred taels, and basically from north to south, that is to say, the Ming people have earned enough compensation for the last Mongolian in the past few months, of course, there are two or three tenths of the official titles belonging to the Ming court, plus the taxes collected by the city, and the treasury has also been enriched with more than 100 taels of silver. What's more, Ye Yingwu took this to supplement the efforts of many businessmen during the last fundraising.

Now Yin Yu is leaning against the lobby of the Bosi in Chenzhou City, which is also a fire in the outer city, and after several fierce battles, there are few houses that are still intact. Chenzhou City has learned experience in the last turmoil, not to mention the perfect tunnels, and the weapons in the City Department are also excellent, so this time although the Mongolian Tartars started quickly, they still let all the officials in the City Department retreat safely, and finally did not follow in the footsteps of Dengzhou and other places.

What's more, at that time, the two Huai armies were all waiting for Chen Jiong to be sitting here, and if it was served in a pot, the loss would be great.

However, the people were withdrawn, and these files could only be selected as important, and the rest were scattered on the ground at random during the later Mongolian searches, a chaotic scene of the end of the world. Later, the Tianwu army rushed to the city, and the Mongolian Tartars did not resist much in the outer city, after all, such a low earth city was not enough to serve the flying thunder cannons. Because of the rush of the siege, these courtyards were only hastily occupied and not cleaned.

In the midst of the gunsmoke, it was snowing again, and it was already good if it didn't cover the sky, so Yin Yu didn't care about this chaotic environment.

With a hot breath, Jiang Hao strode in, looking at the lobby where there were no chairs, only scattered books, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Old Yin, can you stand this?" It's really not your usual temperament preference, could it be a makeover? ”

"Rounded it all? The Mongolian Tartars in the city are still quiet, right? Yin Yu didn't bother to gossip with Jiang Hao, and handed him the battle report in his hand, "Well, the latest battle report." ”

"It's been a turn, the brothers are in good spirits, but now the snowstorm came too suddenly, and the wood for the fire is not enough, after all, there are a number of houses, and if you want to arrange so many people, there is no way to demolish the house, so you can only grit your teeth and endure it first, and you have already asked them to gather charcoal and firewood to the wounded and sick first, and save the lives of these brothers first." Jiang Hao said as he reached out to take the battle report, glanced at it casually, and finally understood why Yin Yu couldn't care about anything.

Stuffing the baked dry cake into Jiang Hao's hand, Yin Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Highness wants to take the Praetorian Guard to the north and go straight to Dengzhou, taking advantage of the fact that there is only a little ice floe off the coast of Dengzhou to take Shandong directly, which is tantamount to killing behind enemy lines, the town navy has now begun to advance northward, it is estimated that the commander of the two Huai army kings has also received the news there, and the two Huai troops will definitely not let go of this opportunity to perform in front of His Highness, after all, for them, it is very important to win a 'military number'." ”

Jiang Hao nodded, took a bite of the dry cake, and muttered: "That kid from the Shence Army Wang Jin will definitely not move at all, and Tang Zhen is also a bold guy, it is estimated that these two people will not give up Heluo to make a feint attack on Guanzhong in peace, and even help the Sichuan Shu army contain Liu Quan." They are also one of the founding armies of the Ming Dynasty, how can they swallow this breath. ”

"Lao Jiang, are you worried?" Yin Yu suddenly frowned.

"Yuanlie made such a move, went to the battlefield in person, and even went straight behind the enemy, we can't spend time with the Mongolian Tatars here, we must fight quickly." Jiang Hao said in a cold voice, his eyes turned to Yutu, "Conquer Chenzhou and eliminate these annoying Tatar cavalry, as long as my Tianwu Army still has the strength to spare, I have to go north to get a piece of the pie!" Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu) and Bianjing City, this battle is just the beginning now! ”

Yin Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately looked at his long-time companion, the two of them have been partners for so long, often entrusting each other's backs, it can be said that they know each other well, and now seeing Jiang Hao said so resolutely, Yin Yu did not refute it, after all, what Jiang Hao said made sense, this battle will be changed from a simple small-scale counterattack to a sudden decisive battle between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty because of Ye Yingwu's appearance!

Perhaps this battle will determine the victory between the two dynasties in the Central Plains.

Although Ye Yingwu's request for the Tianwu Army was only to focus on the Mongolian army in Chenzhou, Huaibei, in Jiang Hao's eyes, Chenzhou was just a piece of fat, and what he wanted to eat was the real food behind Chenzhou. What's more, the Tianwu Army, known as the first army of the Ming Dynasty, how could it stagnate here when the rest of the troops were advancing vigorously?

Yin Yu's character is cautious, but this does not mean that he does not have the courage to fight with the Mongolian Tatars. Let's ask the world, which ambitious general doesn't want to one day be able to seal the wolf and become the "champion marquis" of this era?

Jiang Hao glanced at Yin Yu's determined expression, and just as he wanted to sit down, he heard a shout outside, and then the wind and snow were mixed with the sound of successive explosions and the sound of broken horses' hooves!

"It's not good, the Mongolian Tartars want to break through at night!" Jiang Hao Huo Ran drew his saber and rushed out quickly.

In the heavy snow that obscured the view outside, the sound of killing continued.

As soon as the door opened, the wind was already blowing in the heavy snow, and the guards in the courtyard had already rushed towards the outside of the courtyard in panic, and a famous crossbowman and firecracker rushed out of the wings on both sides, all eyes on Jiang Hao.

The sound of horses' hooves was broken, getting closer and closer, and the shouts of the soldiers could already be heard outside, Jiang Hao was stunned, but he didn't expect the Mongolian Tartar cavalry to kill directly here: "The spearmen seal the gate, the crossbowmen cover the wall, the personal guards, come with so-and-so!" ”

Yin Yu had also rushed out at this time: "Lao Jiang, listen, there are also Mongolian Tatar cavalry behind the courtyard wall!" And there are quite a few of them! ”

"This Tartar cavalry did not rush out of the city, but our prey crashed into it on its own!" Jiang Hao had already come back to his senses, "They want to start a killing ring in the south of the city, and then take advantage of our chaos to enter the city, or directly cover the retreat of the Tartars in the city!" ”

Yin Yu nodded, now there is only one possibility of this explanation, after all, the Mongolian cavalry that has been cruising in the southeast and southwest directions and has not fought with the two Huai armies is very suspicious, and this city is located in the south of the outer city, the Tianwu army is heavily fortified facing Chenzhou City, and the cavalry of the Mongolian Tartars has been tired for a long time, and it is impossible to break through this defense and kill in.

"What should I do?" Yin Yu was concise and to the point.

"What should I do, whatever, kill first!" Jiang Hao shouted in a deep voice, "Beat the drum, all departments strictly guard their positions, and no Mongolian Tartars are allowed to pass!" ”

The drums sounded like they were leading the Mongol cavalry in the dark, and soon the crossbowmen on the wall pulled the triggers, but soon the arrows pierced through the snow and into their chests. Arrows struck the bricks, bursting with dazzling sparks, and crossbowmen were constantly falling from the walls, apparently with a large number of Mongol cavalry outside.

"Open the door!" Jiang Ho roared.

The closed courtyard door slammed open, and several Mongolian cavalrymen had already rushed in with their swords raised. However, they were greeted by the fierce firecrackers, whose muffled sound pierced the wind, and the Mongol cavalry was overturned from their horses before they could react.

"Let's go!" Jiang Ho waved his hand, and the spearmen and sword and shield hands had already rushed out one after another.

And Yin Yu lifted the Pu knife: "Go to the front compartment?" ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Hao nodded, "The rear compartment and the Chinese army have been in chaos, we must have enough people to stabilize our position now!" In addition, when the left and right chambers heard the sound of drums, they naturally wanted to gather here, and more importantly, they left the Chinese cavalry in the front chamber before, and now they can come in handy whether they resist the Mongolian Tatar cavalry or take the opportunity to break into Chenzhou City. ”

Without waiting for Yin Yu to answer, an arrow came out of the darkness and flew past the two of them, torches burning in all directions, flashing points of light, and I don't know how many Mongolian cavalry were whistling back and forth. And the Ming soldiers of the brigade are also like snowballs, following more and more near Jiang Hao's general banner.

With the acceleration of the war horse, more than ten guards guarding Jiang Hao in the wind and snow have turned into galloping light and shadow. Yin Yu, on the other hand, collected all departments from the back and slowly advanced. The two have been partners for so long and have gone through several battles, which can be regarded as a wordless tacit understanding.

A Mongolian hundred-man team rushed out of the street suddenly, but these Mongolians were obviously surprised that they would run into the cavalry of the Ming army in person, and before they waved their sabers, the oncoming horse lance had already penetrated the centurion of the leader, and the cavalry behind roared and crashed up, even if the Mongolian warriors, in front of such a sudden opponent, they also subconsciously gathered their horses, and they were actually chiseled through by more than a dozen Ming cavalry, and two or three corpses were left on the ground, even including their centurions.

"Damn it, chase me!" Several Mongolian commanders were already furious, and they were rushed by more than a dozen southern barbarian cavalry, and they directly slaughtered their centurions, which is definitely a great shame, and if you don't kill those guys, you don't have to mix them up in the future.

However, they thought too much, because the Ming soldiers who roared and pounced on them from behind did not give them a chance to hesitate and turn their horses' heads, and the dense arrows pierced the wind and snow and sank into their chests, and a Mongolian cavalryman fell from his horse with wide eyes, and the blood flowing from his chest stained the ground red, but soon their corpses were covered with a thin layer of snow.

"Don't fall in love with the war, just now you were the commander, and you will follow Lao Tzu to catch up!" The Ming troops who led the team all shouted and greeted their subordinates. The most brutal battle in the world is the street battle at night, so it's better to fight quickly, and you don't want to be "caught by the praying mantis, and the yellow finch is behind" when cleaning the battlefield.

In the wind and snow, the entire city of Chenzhou has fallen into chaos, and I don't know how many Mongolian cavalry are rushing left and right, and I don't know how many flags are dancing in the wind.

Snow was falling and blood was splattering. (To be continued.) )
