Chapter 393: The Border Pass Drum and Trumpet Sounds
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of Calmstream
Signal fireworks rose into the air one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Knock knock!" The Chinese army gathered the drums and sounded loudly.
The entire Caizhou Tianwu Army camp was shattered in an instant, the footsteps echoed sonorously, and countless soldiers rushed out of the camp tent or the school field, quickly assembling the team. Hundreds of sentry riders galloped out of the gates from their horses.
"What's going on?" Yin Yu, the four compartments of the Tianwu Army, strode into the camp tent with a sword in his hand and a group of generals, his face full of surprise and excitement.
None of them had received a message before, indicating that it was not a daily emergency gathering, but something really wrong. For the Tianwu Army stationed in Caizhou to face the Mongol Tatars, there is only one possibility that something big has happened, that is, the Mongol Tatars on the opposite side have moved, and it is not a small move!
"The fireworks are transmitted, 100,000 are urgent, although I don't know what's going on, but it's from the direction of Chenzhou." Jiang Hao, the commander of the Tianwu Army, stood in front of the handsome case, and said loudly, "It must be something happened in Chenzhou!" ”
Yin Yu frowned: "Chen Zhou? What do Mongolian Tatars want to do? ”
"Chenzhou is one of the seven trade towns between our Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, and it is said that the gate in Chenzhou City has been closed in the past few days. Jiang Hao said hurriedly, "There are two Huai troops in Chenzhou City, and there are hundreds of guards, but after all, they have to take care of shops, mansions and docks, and these people are really not enough to fight Mongolian Tartars." ”
"Shall we send troops?" Yin Yu asked without hesitation. Although he is rigorous by nature, at this time, there is no room for thinking and cautious slowness. There are hundreds of soldiers in Chenzhou, not to mention, there are more Ming businessmen, as the closest and strongest force to Chenzhou, it is naturally impossible for the Tianwu Army to hesitate and sit idly by.
What's more, the excuses and reasons for attacking Chenzhou, Jiang Hao, Yin Yu and the soldiers of the Tianwu Army have been waiting for too long, too long, scratching their ears and cheeks every day, waiting for the Mongolian Tartars to stir up trouble, and the brothers cleaned them up cleanly, and they were finally delivered to the door today!
Jiang Hao nodded: "Not only to send troops, but also to make things bigger!" A certain has already sent someone to urgently summon Nanjing, and also informed the rest of the armies, and now it is estimated that the two Huai armies closest to us have also received the fireworks summons, and there are people from the two Huai armies in Chenzhou City, and General Wang will definitely not ignore them, and our Shence Army in the west and Jinghu Army in the southwest will inevitably make some moves. ”
"But in this case, wouldn't it become a ······ with the Mongol Tartars?" Yin Yu was a little surprised.
"It's too late to say this, it will be outside, the king's order is not affected, it's time to teach the Mongolian Tartars a lesson." Jiang Hao shouted in a deep voice, "The front compartment, the left compartment, and the right compartment listen to orders!" ”
"The last general!" Several commanders hurriedly stepped forward.
"Immediately form horns with each other and advance into Chenzhou!"
"No!"
Yin Yu knew that it was pointless to fight with Jiang Hao at this time to make things bigger, not to mention that the Tianwu Army put on such a big formation, even if they didn't notify the Jinghu Army and the Shence Army, wouldn't they have reacted. Now if it weren't for the pressure of a few ministers in the court, these killers would have been gearing up and killing on a large scale, even so, which army is not ready to move in normal times, but everyone stares at each other and barely restrains it.
Wang Jin and Tang Zhen of the Shence Army, Yang Shouming and Yao Zhi of the Jinghu Army, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps!
As for the most belligerent along the entire Ming and Mongol fronts······ Yin Yu subconsciously looked up at Jiang Hao, and a bitter smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
I'm afraid it has to be this guy.
——————————————————
"Chen Xianggong, the marshal of the contemptible Mongolian army in the south, Chen Xianggong has been sitting in Chenzhou City, Boyan has not met with Chen Xianggong, according to legend, Chen Xianggong is a young leader in Changzhou, a celebrity, today I see it is really a dignified appearance, Yushu Linfeng." Boyan sat on the horse, and said with a smile, and even with an unpredictable weirdness in his tone, I don't know how many meanings this Mongolian second-in-command in Chenzhou has.
Chen Bing chuckled and shook his head: "Compared with Marshal Boyan, the contemptible people are far less famous. Marshal Boyan moved from Xiangfan to Lianghuai, as my Ming rival, and many generals on the border probably regard Marshal Boyan as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. ”
Boyan's face turned blue and white for a while, and he switched from Xiangfan to Lianghuai, which is a good word, but in fact, this Chen Ji is sarcastically saying that he has eaten defeat from Xiangfan to Lianghuai, but in fact, it is no wonder that Boyan, after all, Boyan has fought with Ye Yingwu several times, and looking at the whole of Mongolia, he has not yet found anyone who can defeat Ye Yingwu, but it is a veteran like Ashu who has been on the battlefield for a long time and a young man like Zhang Hongfan who has just emerged, who fell in front of Ye Yingwu one after another, and Boyan is lucky compared to them.
"Sure enough, it's not speculation for more than half a sentence." Boyan sneered, "Since Chen Xianggong is so unfriendly, there is nothing to be polite and greeting." Presumably Chen Xianggong also saw that these people around General Ben are the spies of your country who were caught this time. ”
Chen Wei frowned, sure enough, and he secretly screamed in his heart, obviously he had vaguely figured out what Boyan wanted to do.
"That's twenty-six people, and twenty-six lives." Boyan pointed at the horsewhip in his hand, "I will exchange these twenty-six people for one person for you, and I will exchange them for the one who hid in your mansion just now." Of course, if Chen Xianggong is not happy, he can also take a step back, and twenty-six lives will be exchanged for my Mongolian army's entry-to-door search, as long as that person is caught, let Mongolia dispose of it, I don't know Chen Xianggong, you-"
Chen Bing gritted his teeth, his hands trembled a little, and looked at Boyan.
"What do you think?" Boyan finished speaking slowly,
"The mansion of the Bo Division of Chenzhou Tongshang City is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongols are not allowed to enter without the permission of His Royal Highness the King, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war against the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that General Boyan will not understand this truth." There were already beads of sweat flowing from the corners of Chen Jiong's forehead, after all, Boyan still had twenty-six lives in his hands, so it did have some traps.
Chen Jiong is a person who will not give up until he reaches his goal, so he doesn't really care whether these twenty-six people sacrifice for the country or save their lives, what he cares about is whether Boyan will cause any reaction if he abuses and kills these twenty-six people in front of the mansion of the city, whether these bloody men in the mansion will rush out and fight with them, or whether Daming and Mongolia will completely tear their faces because of this matter, Chen Jiong knows very well that when the time comes, as the supreme commander and party of the whole incident, he will definitely be responsible.
After all, now the Ming Dynasty is busy with the southern expedition and the Nanyang, and he really doesn't have the ability to fight with Mongolia, at most, he only supports the Tianwu and the two Huai armies to fight on the border.
This war cannot be provoked.
Looking at Chen Zhi's obviously hesitant expression, Bo Yan sneered and said: "Chen Xianggong, you have to think about it, Marshal Ben's feet are the land of Mongolia, as long as Marshal Ben wants, he can kill these people at any time, does Chen Xianggong want to watch your subordinates separate from these twenty-six people's heads?!" ”
"General!" Several guards looked at Chen Ji with some unbearability, and said in a low voice, "General, let the brothers rush out and snatch people back!" ”
"Nonsense!" Chen Zhi glared at them, "If you rush out to rob people, they will have a reason to rush in and search for people, isn't this throwing the handle to others!" ”
At this moment, Yang Zheng, who had changed into a clean cloth shirt, strode over, made a gesture at Chen Jiong, and was about to walk outside. Chen Zhi was slightly stunned, and quickly grabbed his sleeve, the gesture that Yang Zheng made just now was very simple, and he could understand it without translating Chen Zhi, because what he said was "agree".
"Stop him!"
Several guards quickly stepped forward to hug Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng struggled desperately, but fortunately, there were many soldiers in the mansion, and no matter how strong his personal strength was, he couldn't beat so many people. Looking at Yang Zheng, who was tightly held down by a group of guards, Chen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
And outside the door, there was a sudden shout: "General Chen, Commander Yang, you let go of the arrows and shoot all of us useless people to death, so that they will not fall to ······ Yes! ”
Boyan whipped the man hard, making him twitch involuntarily, if it wasn't for the rope tightly pulling, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.
"Brothers, let go of the arrows!" One after another, the Jinyi Guard captives raised their heads suddenly, "Give us a good one, release the arrows!" ”
"Shoot the arrows! Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again, and he is still a Ming man, killing Mongolian Tatars! ”
"Brothers, let go of the arrows! Shoot your arrows! ”
Chen Bing's hands clenched slowly, his teeth clicked, and the crossbowmen who were waiting on the wall were already at a loss, and some even turned their heads away, and couldn't bear to see this scene.
"Shut them up!" Boyan snorted coldly, and a group of Mongolian soldiers pounced on their horses and whipped them down fiercely, and blood was sprinkled on the street drop by drop, but this time all the captives gritted their teeth and stared at the bows and crossbows close at hand on the wall.
Seeing this scene through the gate, Yang Zheng writhed even more wildly, and it took more than a dozen soldiers to reach out and hold down this strong man who was like a mad tiger.
All the captives gritted their teeth and resolutely did not kneel, and the pain all over their bodies gave them no chance to scream too much.
"I didn't expect Chen Xianggong to be hard-hearted and able to watch his own soldiers suffer such pain." Boyan sighed in admiration, "Chen Xianggong, why don't you make up your mind to change people, look at what these soldiers of your country have become, I'm afraid that if you don't heal it, you won't live long!" ”
Chen Zhihuo raised his head and said coldly: "Close the door!" ”
"General?" The soldiers looked at him in amazement.
Chen Jiong had turned around slowly, and walked towards the lobby with some dejected soul: "Close the door······ Shoot the arrows! ”
"General!" The people in the courtyard looked at him at the same time.
"Close the door and release the arrows!" Chen Zhi turned his head suddenly, almost shouting with all his might!
"It's not good, get back!" Boyan hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, the southern barbarian was afraid that he was going crazy, and he couldn't take care of anything else at this time!
The next moment, the door of the mansion slammed shut, and the crossbowmen on the wall gritted their teeth and pulled the trigger.
Arrows whistled and fell from the walls into the chests of the twenty-six.
"Hahaha!" The captive who took the lead in roaring just now looked at the arrow stuck in his chest and was dumbfounded, "It's good to come, brothers, goodbye Zhongshan!" In the next life, we will kill the Tartars! ”
"Goodbye Zhongshan!" Twenty-six iron-clad men with blood gushing from their chests.
"Goodbye Zhongshan—"
Heaven and earth fell silent at this moment, and there was only this empty and mournful roar in the entire street.
On the wall, the crossbowmen were silent, tears streaming down their cheeks.
Chen Ji slowly knelt on the ground, and the soldiers in the entire courtyard were silently following their movements at this moment, and the black pressure fell to their knees, and everyone kowtowed three times in the direction of the gate. The twenty-six good men on the street outside the door were real men.
They did not live up to the reputation of the Ming soldiers, nor did they live up to their own blood.
Standing at the corner of the street, Bo Yan exhaled softly, if it wasn't for his quick eyes and quick hands just now, he beckoned his men and horses to retreat, plus the southern barbarian crossbowmen were restrained, I am afraid that he would be an undead on the Huangquan Road now.
"Marshal, these Southern Barbarians······ Could it be that you are crazy? The Mongolian centurion who arrived first had a trembling voice, even if he was a good man on the grassland, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this situation with his own eyes, if he were them, what kind of choice would he make when life and death were at stake?
This made many Mongolian soldiers ask themselves, and then shook their heads gloomily.
"They're not crazy." Boyan muttered bitterly, "They just firmly believe that someone will avenge them in the near future." These southern barbarians died without regrets. ”
The centurion grinned reluctantly, not knowing what to say.
And a herald came in a dusty and fiery hurry: "Marshal, marshal! Big things are wrong! ”
"The sky hasn't fallen yet, what's the panic!" Boyan felt bad in his heart, and immediately shouted with a calm face.
The herald hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Marshal, Southern Barbarian······ The Tianwu Army of the Southern Barbarians has already slaughtered towards Chenzhou! ”
Boyan was stunned and frowned: "I didn't expect this southern barbarian to be determined to make a big fuss!" ”
"Marshal, the Tianwu Army, if you want to defeat us and defeat Chenzhou, it's not so easy." The centurion was a little surprised, "This southern barbarian must think too highly of himself. ”
"The border pass in ancient times is in an emergency, and the generals guarding the border pass will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected, so you can fight back first without asking for instructions." Bo Yan said coldly, "The Tianwu Army has moved, and the rest of the departments, I'm afraid they can't hold it back." The southern barbarians have not yet been so bold as to not send a thousand troops, but this army has provoked our Mongolia. ”
"Marshal, what should we do?!" The centurion was suddenly anxious, it is true that there are Southern Expeditionary Army and Cowardly Xue Army in Chenzhou, but which one of the Southern Barbarians is vegetarian, not to mention that the Cowardly Xue Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army are still defeated by the Southern Barbarians under the Tianwu and Zhenhai armies of Lianghuai.
If one comes, there is nothing to be afraid of, but the opponents go hand in hand, but it is not something that these people in Chenzhou can handle, and even whether Chenzhou can hold it has to be said separately.
"Don't panic, let's go back to the city." Boyan tightened the reins of the horse, "I can't take care of the aftermath here." After all, this matter was caused by You Xuanfu, and the person above You Xuanfu's head was not a certain and Shi Xianggong, who nominally belonged to His Royal Highness the Prince, but he had the courage to come from the capital alone, and behind it must be the will of the Great Khan himself. Since the Great Khan intends to stir up trouble in this Chenzhou, it means that the imperial court must have a plan to deal with the aftermath. ”
After a pause, sparks burst out of Boyan's gaze: "A certain task is to guard this Chenzhou, but then again, it is understandable to meet that Jiang Ho for a while!" I want to see if the Tianwu Army has grown much in the past year. ”
"General, those Mongol Tartars have withdrawn." A soldier jumps off the fence.
Chen Zhi nodded: "Open the door and collect the bones of our soldiers outside." The fact that the Mongol Tatars withdrew so quickly shows that they also have something burning their hearts. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Tianwu, Lianghuai, and Zhenjun, I'm afraid they have all moved, and this Boyan can't sit still." Chen Ji said softly, "As for whether the two sides really fought each other in the end, it's really hard to say." ”
"General, aren't we dangerous?"
With a chuckle, Chen Zhi stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky: "The inner city and the outer city of Chenzhou are all under the noses of the Mongolian Tartars, what is the difference, do you really think that this city will be able to save your life?" That's just because the Mongols don't plan to tear their faces for the time being, otherwise they will be no different from the stronghold of the Jinyi Guards in the inner city. ”
After a moment of silence, Chen Zhi said word by word:
"Since coming here, I have no intention of leaving the country!" (To be continued.) )
