Chapter 1204 The grain officer is obvious
readx; Almost at the same time that Lu Xiangsheng led the army to leave the camp on the north bank, in the east of Zhangde Mansion, more than 200 miles to the north, a mysterious officer army suddenly appeared. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoΒ£β The top novel, this officer army numbered about 3,000 troops, all cavalry, and strangely enough, hundreds of men were also in custody, all with their hands tied behind their backs, and long strings of hemp rope were strung together.
The leader of the general had a scorched face, his face was wrinkled, and his entire face was covered with black fluff, just like the fruit of Chinese medicine Chebula, which was extremely ugly. If you just look at his appearance, no one will believe that he is actually only 21 years old this year.
At this time, he looked at the city wall of Zhangde Mansion with sharp eyes, and said with a low smile: "Taishi Hong is really clever, the northern army has rushed to the Yellow River, and the air defense of the city here is very empty!" Good, act as planned! β
At the sound of an order, most of this official army was still hidden in the woods, and only more than 200 horsemen escorted the hundreds of prisoners, swaggering towards the east gate of Zhangde Mansion.
When the defenders at the head of the city heard the movement, they immediately shouted vigilantly: "Who is it? Stop moving! β
The leader of the official army who took the lead hurriedly replied loudly: "We are the official army under General Dingnan, and we have just defeated a rebel army in Neihuang County, and we have captured many prisoners. Please let us into town immediately, we have an urgent military briefing! β
When the defenders of the city saw that the troops under the city were indeed wearing official and military uniforms, and reported Li Dingguo's name, he had no doubt in his heart, so he ordered someone to open the city. Suddenly, I heard a man shouting, "Wait! β
The defender of the city hurriedly looked back and saw that it was a very young officer, but he did not know it. This city guard is the local guard officer of Zhangde Mansion, this city gate is under his jurisdiction, and now a nosy soldier suddenly appeared, which made him quite annoyed in his heart, so he shouted and asked: "Who are you and what battalion do you belong to?" This city gate is the final word of the hundred households, and it is not your turn to interject! Come on..."
The young officer said with a hippie smile: "Baihu, tsk, the official authority is not small!" What's the matter, depending on what you mean, you want to arrest this general? β
"What... What the? The city guard was shocked and said, "You said you were... Counselor? β
"What is so rare about the generals?" The young officer sighed and said a little depressedly, "If it weren't for General Pingnan's partiality, I would have been able to become the deputy commander-in-chief!" β
It turned out that this person's name was Wu Mingming, who was Li Laiheng's general and was the commander of the first cavalry battalion of the fourth regiment of the Qin soldiers. Since joining the Qin army, he has been following Li Laiheng to fight in the south and the north, eradicating the eunuchs, withdrawing troops from Liaodong, pacifying the southwest, and defending the Beijing Division.
However, in this counterinsurgency battle, Li Laiheng only brought a few generals such as Li Shoujun, Li Shouyi, and Hei Yougong as vanguards, but he assigned a heavy task to Wu Ming, and almost didn't make Wu obviously angry.
At that time, he asked Li Laiheng to theorize, but Li Laiheng was in a hurry to go on the expedition, and he didn't have time to deal with him at all, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be embarrassed by your kid, the saint asked me to recommend a clever subordinate, but I recommended you!" Don't look down on the escort baggage, have you forgotten how Yuan Shao lost to Cao Xiang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Isn't it that Chun Yuqiong, who was guarding the grain and grass in the black nest, drank and made a mistake. This time you are allowed to be alone, it is the saint who intends to cultivate you, don't embarrass Lao Tzu! β
After that, Zhu Youzhen drove the expedition in person, but it was obvious that he could only lead 500 light horsemen to escort grain and grass back and forth between the Beijing division and the army. Speaking of which, he ran more than anyone else, but as soon as he arrived at the front line, he immediately had to go back, and it was impossible to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. He is obviously a typical monkey with a quick temper, sighing all day long, complaining that Li Laiheng is partial to him.
A few days ago, the army marched south from Zhangde Mansion, and it was obvious that the Gou also followed all the way to escort the baggage, and just returned to Zhangde Mansion yesterday, and originally planned to rest in Zhangde Mansion for one night, and continue to eat north tomorrow to meet the next batch of baggage. But he was obviously upset and couldn't sleep at night, so he sneaked up to the city wall alone to relax. But just bumped into this scene, and there was a warning in my heart, so I stopped talking.
Afraid that the city guard would not believe it, he obviously took out his gold military card for the other party to see, and the city guard lost his temper when he saw it. It turned out that everyone in the Ming Dynasty army had a military badge, which indicated the name and identity of the officer or non-commissioned officer. Ordinary soldiers are wooden cards, 100 households to guerrilla are silver medals, generals and above are gold medals, and general soldiers and above are jade cards. It is obvious that there is a gold medal, that is, there is no doubt about the general. You must know that the biggest officer of the local guard in Zhangde Mansion is Qianhu, and he is still several levels behind the generals.
The city defender was about to plead guilty, but he obviously waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, and then pointed to the "captives" under the city and asked him: "Look at these captives, some are old and some are young, and some are over sixty at a glance, will the rebels use old men in their sixties?" β
When everyone saw that it was really true, they all felt that something was wrong, and they didn't dare to open the door. The officers and soldiers below waited anxiously, and shouted loudly: "Brothers in the city, open the city quickly!" Do you want to freeze us to death on this cold day? β
At this time, the gatekeeper dared to speak, and his eyes were dumbfounded. Gou obviously whispered to him: "There may be fraud, you quickly send someone to report to the city guard, and the five hundred grain troops who entered the city today!" β
Then he laughed at the city and said, "Ah, I'm so embarrassed! The city gate is locked, and the guy who keeps the key may have a stomach trouble and is looking for a place to, so you wait. Why don't you throw some firewood and roast it first? β
"Fart, roast your fucking fire!" When the officers and soldiers below saw that they didn't give Kaicheng a chance, they immediately scolded anxiously, "You can afford to delay the emergency military situation?" β
Seeing that the other party opened his mouth and cursed, he thought that he often heard General Pingnan mention that General Li Dingguo of Dingnan was extremely strict in governing the army, and even if the soldiers and soldiers joked and scolded each other, they would be punished, why did these people speak so disrespectfully? Therefore, he was more careful in his heart, and said with a hippie smile on the surface: "Brother, the city will be opened soon, don't be angry!" By the way, which of the generals under General Dingnan are you? Is it General Jin Tong Wu Jin? β
"Exactly!" The officers and soldiers below replied impatiently.
"What a coincidence! My brother has also seen General Jin, he is really burly, how can he have two hundred pounds, right? β
"Almost... You are talking so much nonsense, open the city! β
"I'll fuck you!" Gou obviously suddenly changed color and said, "Jin Tongwu is a thin monkey, a hundred catties is about the same, how can there be two hundred catties?" If you want to open the city gate at night, it must be a rebel! β
Before the words fell, Gou had obviously taken out the flintlock pistol he was carrying, and raised his hand to shoot!
