Chapter 820: The Imperial Expedition
readx; As the night approached, the air in the land of Liaodong seemed to be frozen by the bone-chilling cold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Outside the city of Dalinghe, even the Jurchens, who lived between the white mountains and black waters all the year round, all shrank into the soft cowhide military tent and fell asleep early, not to mention those Han army banner soldiers. The barracks were dark on all sides, with only a few lights lit up, just like wolves hiding their bodies in the night, with only their eyes radiating a greedy glow.
And above the city tower, there is also a solemn atmosphere. The Guanning Iron Knight, who has now become Zu Dashou's pro-army, pushed a white-faced general with his hands tied behind his back and hugged the city, which was He Kegang, the general who advocated not surrendering.
A junior officer, who was only in his early twenties, stepped forward quickly, clenched his fists at He Kegang and said apologetically: "General He, I'm sorry. The last general, Cao Bianjiao, is currently the chief soldier of the Chinese army of 100 households, temporarily in charge of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. On the orders of the commander-in-chief, see off the general, don't blame the general! Rest assured, the brothers will do their work cleanly and ensure that General He will not be offended. ”
He Kegang only smiled slightly and said, "It's so tiring." Who are Cao Wenzhao? ”
"That's Uncle Last." Cao Bianjiao replied cautiously.
He Kegang looked up to the sky and sighed: "The Guanning Iron Cavalry was brought out by the eldest lady, and later under the command of General Cao, and it is the only one in the official army that can confront the Tartar cavalry head-on, but the number of troops is too small. It's a pity that the general soldier not only didn't reuse General Cao, but transferred him to Ningyuan, and asked you to wait only to be the Chinese army, which is really useless for heroes. ”
In fact, Cao Bianjiao was not dissatisfied with Zu Dashou because of this, but he was young and soft-spoken, and he had no prestige in the border army, let alone dare to confront Zu Dashou. According to his original intention, he originally wanted to go with Cao Wenzhao, but Cao Wenzhao insisted that he stay in the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and would rather suffer some grievances than relax his daily training. Cao Bianjiao didn't dare to disobey his uncle's order, so he had to stay in Daling River.
At this time, listening to He Kegang, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but be gloomy. He Kegang stared at the northwest direction, and said affectionately: "We are all from the Li family in Liaodong, since the first head of the family, Li Chengliang, how many heroes and heroes have been produced, and how many loyal and righteous people have shed blood on the battlefield to defend the frontier!" Not to mention others, Li Rusong and the eldest lady's father and daughter have also sacrificed their lives for the country, as members of the Li family, we don't take the eldest lady as an example to serve the country loyally, but to be a traitor and a traitor? ”
After saying this, everyone in the city lowered their heads in shame, and Cao Bianjiao was even more red-faced, and suddenly whispered in He Kegang's ear: "Since the chief soldier wants to surrender, simply let the general go, and the general will lead us out of the encirclement!" ”
He Kegang shook his head lightly and said: "The Tartars are surrounded on all sides, if the whole army breaks through, there is still three points of hope, only this little bit of men and horses under your command is no different from sending them to death." After my death, Zu Dashou will open the city and surrender, and then the Tartars may let their guard down. You have the heart to serve the country, but at that time, you suddenly launched it and broke through! ”
"How's that going to work!" Cao Bianjiao hurriedly said, "Wouldn't that exchange the general's life for our life!" The last general would rather die than be such a villain! ”
He Kegang sank his face and said, "Silence!" There are many eyes and ears in the army, and if the news leaks, this plan will not be feasible. It's not a pity for me to die, if I can help you and Guan Ning Tieqi break through, it will be considered a well-deserved death. Remember, Guan Ning Tieqi was created by the eldest lady herself, and you can't surrender to the enemy no matter what, otherwise the eldest lady won't let you go in the spirit of the sky! ”
Cao Bianjiao wanted to say something more, but He Kegang was dumbfounded and said angrily: "I am the same generation as Cao Wenzhao, and Uncle Yier is also!" Now I order you to be executed immediately! ”
Cao Bianjiao actually knew very well that in the current situation of exhaustion, He Kegang's strategy was indeed the only way for Guanning Tieqi to escape. Thinking of Cao Wenzhao's advice, and looking at He Kegang's resolute gaze, Cao Bianjiao burst into tears, and finally said loudly: "By the order of the general of the general army: He Kegang violated military discipline and beheaded the public!" The time has come, let go of the soul chasing cannon three times, why did the general see him off! ”
Suddenly, the Franc cannon at the head of the city opened fire into the open space below the city, and the heavy sound of cannon fire rolled through the vast field like thunder. After three cannon shots, the executing soldier asked He Kegang to kneel, but He Kegang stubbornly stood without kneeling, and said lightly facing the southwest: "Just do it, I will die to the Jingshi!" ”
Cao Bianjiao nodded tearfully, gently took off his helmet for He Kegang, pulled up his hair bun with his left hand, and held the ghost head knife high in his right hand.
He Kegang looked at the southwest with infinite nostalgia, and said silently in his heart: "Zu Dashou was frightened by the Tartars. In fact, as long as you stick to the city, you may not be able to wait for reinforcements! With the heroic strength of the saint, the battle of Ningyuan was trapped in a lonely city by the army led by the old slave, and he still won a complete victory, and the old slave was injured with his own hands, will he ignore the border army this time? No, the Holy One is by no means such a merciless person, even for the sake of the eldest lady, he will not be like this! It's a pity that I don't see the Holy Lord sending troops to help..."
At this time, what caught He Kegang's eyes was the Yiwu Lu Mountain, which was more than ten miles away in the southwest. The swarthy mountains cut off his gaze from looking at the Jingshi from afar, and He Kegang said with tears in his eyes: "Let's execute!" ”
Cao Bianjiao also burst into tears, and was just about to swing his knife to cut He Kegang's neck, when he suddenly heard the junior colonel next to him exclaim: "General, look! ”
He Kegang and Cao Bianjiao looked out of the city at the same time, but they saw that the foot of Yiwulu Mountain in the southwest suddenly burst into flames, the sound of killing suddenly rose, and the unique rumbling hooves sound of thousands of horses galloping shook the sky and the earth!
The firelight has turned into two fire dragons, one left and one right, straight into the Houjin Dazhai between Wulu Mountain and Dalinghe City. This place is the Mongolian blue flag, the blue flag and the Han army's blue flag, the blue flag of the station, the combat effectiveness in the Houjin army is relatively poor, at this time in the middle of the night was suddenly attacked by the close opponent, it was completely caught off guard.
In an instant, the two fire dragons had already broken through the fence of Houjin Camp Village and smashed into the enemy formation. In the middle of the night, even the firelight of the bean is clearly visible dozens of feet away, not to mention the mighty torrent composed of thousands of troops! I saw these two fire dragons rushing left and right in the Houjin Village, it was really like entering a no-man's land, and everywhere they went was like chopping waves and chopping waves, and the Houjin army scattered and fled!
And following the two fire dragons was a neat circle formation, with unstoppable and powerful kinetic energy, crushing through the enemy camp that had just been ploughed open by the two fire dragons. All the soldiers at the head of Dalinghe City can see clearly: in the blazing firelight of the circle array, a Huangluo umbrella stands in the sky, although it is torn by the cold wind, it has always stood upright, firmly and quickly approaching Dalinghe!
"Have you seen it, Huang Luo umbrella cover!" He Kegang was so excited that he couldn't help but cry bitterly, "It's Your Majesty!" Your Majesty has conquered the expedition in person! ”
